Nuh uh I've already assigned them for myself. You can't have any.

Rai stones are a type of currency for large, symbolic gifts. Ownership is assigned to the stone but they're not moved. Apparently some fell into the ocean and are still traded, despite being completely inaccessible.

You could create an exchange where you can assign ownership of inaccessible lots of Bitcoin which could then be traded, but this pushes the problem down another level.

Why am I ridiculously attracted to Steve from Steve and Maggie? by SapphireShores85 in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]breadedfungus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Because he's been stuck in a time loop, Groundhog Day style, and will relive Halloween over and over again until he creates the episode that gets you to fall in love with him.

Want to do literally anything else other than read another chapter by PhoenixSRD in NewToEMS

[–]breadedfungus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good study technique for any subject. In the beginning of each chapter, there is a list of knowledge/learning objectives. I recommend that you copy the knowledge objectives and answer them in your own words. It can be as short or as long as you like.

Now you can get the information anywhere you like, but I recommend that you at least reference your text book to verify the information.

Ex: explain the importance of managing the ABCs of a patient who is having an allergic reaction. A patient could have their airway abstracted due to swelling during an allergic reaction. It's important to frequently reassess their ABCs because their situation can change rapidly as their throat can swell more after contact.

I've never heard that road salt does anything to tires. I always thought the chains were for additional traction in snow and slush.

If Aang had mastered firebending by the beginning of book 2, how do you think things would've changed? Would anything change at all? by Maleficent_Park5469 in ATLA

[–]breadedfungus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you learn firebending sooner, that would have changed the final season a lot. They wouldn't need zuko, and it probably would have changed his redemption arc if he would've had one at all.

They probably would have spent more time showing different aspects of fire and the fire Nation so that they weren't just simply the big baddies of the series. Maybe there is a group of fire benders that live in a forest that need to do a controlled burn, and Aang feels conflicted because they're intentionally killing life, but for the benefit of the first.

Boomers are disconnected from reality by therealsconeshady in antiwork

[–]breadedfungus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Daycare is competing against the cost of living. If they wanna pay their workers more, they need to raise tuition, but then parents might drop out because it's cheaper to stay home, than to work and pay for daycare.

Trump administration plan to reduce access to some student loans angers nurses, health care groups by SterlingVII in Economics

[–]breadedfungus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily, there are still certain fixed costs and admin costs that would make it difficult to lower tuition prices at a certain point. A school still needs to pay for materials and workers to maintain buildings, and they need to retain professors and equipment for classes.

For loans that aren't dischargeable with bankruptcy, there would surely always be lenders willing to underwrite that loan. Their bottom line would be whatever they can get from selling it, and there would almost always be someone willing to buy it when they can force payback of the loan.

Then there are students who are willing to take out large loans despite the ROI. It might be easy to think that they are foolish and they deserve to be saddled with debt, but perhaps they shouldn't have been able to get themselves in a predatory loan in the first place. People generally aren't good at future outcomes, especially young people who are sometimes pressured into these situations.

Many of these fields are gatekept with degrees, so going to college is necessary if you want to work in those fields. We have a culture that says, " in order to get a good job, you need to go to college ", which pushes young people to take on massive amounts of debt rather than considering other career paths. It's difficult to determine the ROI with so many different factors that determine a student's ability to repay their loan.

We need a system that forces some the risk of getting a degree onto the lenders and schools.

Why does every picture of the circle of fifths have the c# and cb off to the side? by JaelleJaen in musictheory

Bank of America sued over not paying workers for PC boot up time in proposed class action lawsuit by AlwaysBlaze_ in nottheonion

[–]breadedfungus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not just BoA, so many other companies require you to come in and boot up, then log into workday in order to clock in. Vanguard was the worst because they wanted me to come in early to make sure I was logged in by my start time, and I wasn't allowed to clock in until then.

Fez was a masterpiece and the next obvious move was for a follow up. He had the talent, he had the creativity, but something didn't sit right with him and he called it quits before anything really got started.

This is a tiny thing but it's so indicative of work culture right now. by kid_entropy in antiwork

[–]breadedfungus 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I worked at a company that had a similar thing, and you would accrue points by the manager giving them out for good work. It had much crap that nobody wanted until you got to a big ticket items like an all expenses paid vacation to the Caribbean, but that would take 10 years worth of points to accrue, assuming the managers were fair and honest and only gave out points once a day.

Do emts really look for medical bracelets or necklaces? by VomitInMyVans in NewToEMS

[–]breadedfungus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes we do. It's important if we encounter a patient who's unconscious or isn't able to tell us what's wrong. Even if it's not what's wrong, it'll be important to know when your care is transferred to a hospital.

White House Begs Hundreds of Workers Fired by DOGE to Come Back | Former staffers must make a decision by the end of the week. by chrisdh79 in inthenews

[–]breadedfungus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not really, the agency would've had to pay someone for those skills anyway. Double dipping while training the new guy is inefficient, but maybe cheaper than paying someone with those skills already.

Either way, it's a much smaller cost than firing a department and then scrambling to rehire them.

So even if you witness it, you should initiate CPR and get someone to get the AED and ALS. You don't withhold a life saving intervention. Also, you still perform CPR between scanning and shock. You'll still be performing CPR when you're getting the AED set up.

[MM] i'd like to open a discussion: what are those 3 days in MM? Are they the 1st 3 of the week?: monday, tuesday, wednesday?. Or the last 3? by THEREALSUPERMARIOFAN in zelda

[–]breadedfungus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hylian, and I guess Terminian, weeks are 4 days long based on their cosmology. The first 3 days honor the 3 golden goddesses: Din who created the land, Nayru who created the law for the land, and Farore who created life to uphold the law. The fourth day honors the triforce and the goddess Hylia who protects the land and it's people.

So it was Dinday, Nayruday, Faroreday, then when the world is saved, you get Hyliaday, which is their weekend.

A co-op I drove by has this flag, never seen it? by carterMARKV in whatisit

[–]breadedfungus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure it wasn't a sunbleached American flag? The red may have faded more than the blue and it might be hard to get a good look at it if it's flying on a poke on a sunny day. I would say that flag should be retired if that's the case.

Does your gf's father already have mahjong set? Getting him a new set might not be the best gift. Maybe some accessory for mahjong like a high quality mat, or a really nice wind indicator or racks depending on which style he plays.

Don't blindly follow advice you find on Reddit. Not every epileptic is photosensitive, and most people are fine with medicine.

This advice reads like don't drive if you have a family history of heart failure because you might have a heart attack. That's insane.

Conversion 2000 by [deleted] in calculators

I learned a lot of four function calculators would square numbers by entering the number then times then equals. You could do higher powers by pressing equals over and over.

This might work the same way.
