We supposedly live in a modern world, yet I have never seen more obvious misunderstanding and misuse of science. Science has become the newest concept to appropriate and abuse for political purposes. And with the scientists' consent, which is even worse.

@MehnazHyderMD @DrDiGiorgio That’s right. I trained in the US military hospitals in the 1980s. Handwritten notes; if you had to flip the page, the note was too long. The entire chart could be reviewed in a half hour, tops. Inpatient charts today are unnavigable messes.

@relativemath @DrDiGiorgio Because they have to get paid. And they just want to finish their work and get home for that precious hour they get to actually spend with their families.

[JP Bouffard, MD @jpbouffard]

@DrDiGiorgio EMRs have made this much worse. As a pathologist, I read clinical notes to get background info on cases. Every progress/consult note today seems to begin with about 75 lines of copied/pasted regurgitations of prior notes, imaging reports, etc. Literally 5% of the note is useful.

@mistressdivy That money has already been spent. That’s what insolvency means.

@BigSwingTempo It’s not unique to golf…it’s just that the margin of error and the penalty for small errors is greater in golf than in probably any other sport. But I think your observation gets at the biggest mystery in golf: where do the macro errors come from?

@MichaelAArouet That’s a stupid and illogical way of judging the effectiveness of health care.

@Jay_Sapovits He wouldn’t have changed unless he was convinced they were equal or better than what he had been playing. Maybe he just hit a bad shot.

@W_G_Rant @Oldglorycries Nothing will come of it.

@OneJerseySchorr @NewJerseyDOE What’s the percentage who can read?

@GovMurphy @pjminterconnect Government must do more. So called clean energy mandates are causing this. And you know it.

@stopvaccinating @BigSmokeTavern What tests might implicate vaccines as a cause of sudden infant death?

@LouStagner @MichaelBreed Carry only? Arccos data for anyone above probably a 4 HCP is suspect because contact quality is so variable, and I think this tends ro underestimate distance potential.

@LucidPotatoPub @veggie_eric The rules are embedded in the exercise flow. If you pay attention you see them. The sentences can seem silly on the surface, but they are used to demonstrate things like noun declensions, cases, mood, etc. The way a child learns.

@cemkansu @veggie_eric Can you PLEASE fix the voice recognition of NUMBERS?

[JP Bouffard, MD @jpbouffard]

@LuxFemina @veggie_eric Because you need to stay engaged in it. It’s a pedagogical approach that keeps you using the app and the language.

[JP Bouffard, MD @jpbouffard]

@veggie_eric I have been using it to learn Ukrainian. I can speak to my (Ukrainian speaking) partner (a little) and understand her (same). It’s not perfect but it’s at least as effective as what you get from traditional language classes. The more time you use it the better you get.

@wakeupnj @Mary26041 If she gets in, she will probably “freeze rates” with a shell game tactic. Nominally freeze rates on our bills, but raise various little utility taxes and other hidden fees here and there. That revenue will be used to pay for the power she has to continue buying…

[JP Bouffard, MD @jpbouffard]

@billjamesonline What is the numeric “quality” of something like WAR with respect to comparing players?. A player with WAR of 4 is better than a player at 3 or 2 or 1. But is he 4 times better than the 1? Are the numbers ordinal, interval, or ratio quality, with respect to winning games?
