@beanbagashtray @justdude

That is awesome, what a great idea!

@mcSlibinas @yngmar

Okay, I get it. I'll stay off your lawn.

@yngmar

c'mon - #cycling is as serious as YOU want to make it. Don't worry about the other rider and what they are doing.

I'm for anything that gets people interested and keeps them interested in cycling.

and yes, I have way more bike and way more biking technology than i deserve given my mediocrity.

but that same tech keeps ME interested and on MY bike.

I love all the diversity of my cycling people!

A manufacturing problem in millions of Abbott glucose sensors has been tied to at least seven deaths and hundreds of injuries worldwide

"The Abbott recall has put a spotlight on diabetes patients’ growing reliance on technology meant to help them and the threat it can pose to their physical and psychological health when that technology is flawed."

The loss of the knowledge of antiquity didn't occur with the burning of the library at Alexandria (48 BC), but rather between 400-600 AD when the papyri deteriorated and could not be copied due to time and expense. The decision on what to save was made by monks, which is why we have more from St Augustine than all pagan classical Latin, an unintentional moment of censorship

Leapfrog group has been running a scam since it started

"A federal judge ruled March 6 that The Leapfrog Group’s Hospital Safety Grades for five Florida hospitals constitutes “an unfair and deceptive business practice,” finding Leapfrog deliberately punished the hospitals for not participating in its voluntary survey by assigning them artificially low scores with no scientific basis."

The planet isn’t going anywhere… we are! We’re going away! Pack your shit folks! We’re going away and we won’t leave much of a trace either, thank God for that… maybe a little styrofoam… maybe… little styrofoam. The planet will be here, we’ll be long gone; just another failed mutation; just another closed-end biological mistake; an evolutionary cul-de-sac. The planet will shake us off like a bad case of fleas, a surface nuisance.

The tech bro oligarchs must be stopped.

These monopolists/cartels believe #enshitification is a divine right that demands feudal obedience from the powerless masses that owe them fealty and gratitude.

I don't understand why people put up with it

Oh the number of times we were asked to force healthcare workers to do something via the EHR that they never had to do before the EHR ....

So many requests to shift work from administrative functions on to providers.

I'm sure it's still going on today.

@jeneralist

Yes, glad to see you as well!

Healthcare AI war heating up as hospitals use AI to increase coding and insurers use AI to deny claims.

And of course this means millions of dollars moving between the combatants with no improvement in care quality, affordability or access.

Healthcare is sooooo lucrative. So much money to be made by interfering middlemen and administrators. Their greed is insatiable

Not doing anything is really difficult for a lot of people. It takes practice.

@deepmud I'll get around to publish a list of tips sometime soon I'm sure of it.
