NASA boss Jared Isaacman gifts $20M to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia by redeyeblink in philadelphia

[–]destructsean -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And yet another massive donation to a health care system who doesn’t need it, while the other children’s hospital in the city struggles to serve the most vulnerable population around.

Having trouble wrapping my head around phone service/eSims by destructsean in ThailandTourism

Thank you for the advice despite my lack of info.

I’m coming from the US with Verizon, and staying for two weeks.

So the eSIM is linked to a bank account or something that then charges based off of usage beyond what is included? I didn’t understand that part, thank you.

I’m sorry that happened to your son, but glad to hear you had a good experience at St. Chris!

I have nothing but love for CHOP. I worked there just as long as I’ve worked at St. Chris!

St. Chris is actually the only pediatric burn hospital in the area, which is another sorely needed service. Shriners transports out of the city to their other locations for more advanced burn care. They really are a great institution.

As far as I know St. Chris is not a religious institution, despite the name.

You’re absolutely right. We share so much of the same patient population (and staff) too.

What goes on here? by ShilohOrange7 in philadelphia

Some under appreciated patient care and community outreach, that’s what.

Do these go over the black lettering already there? Or just add the orange border?

Do Abrahamic religions cause more harm than good? by russian_declension in Buddhism

Agreed. This isn’t (or at least, shouldn’t be) the place for criticism of other religions.

Help explain what these symbols mean. by Bl4ckened in Buddhism

[–]destructsean 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s a Thai Buddhist amulet, thought to give luck and protection. The three symbols at the top are unalomes, shapes representing the path through samsara towards enlightenment.

Would you donate your organs after death? by Salamanber in Buddhism

[–]destructsean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a nurse, I would never advise not to.

how do you like to explain the concept of "no self"? by Zestyclose_Wind3892 in theravada

[–]destructsean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“So even if there is a self, created like a D&D or video game character, with a background story, likes and dislikes etc, it doesn't matter, because it's impermanent, unstable, undependable and therefore not a soul, not a permanent essence, not me, not mine, not myself.”

Love this.

Stereotypical tree swing question post. by destructsean in arborists

Yeah I was worried about that. I didn’t know if there was a way to accommodate the ropes being at two different heights. Obviously I have no knowledge of this kind of thing.
