I'd argue it doesn't accurately show the relative value at a cursory glance. The chart shows the area under the curve having decreased over 90%, but when looking at the y-axis, you can see that initial assessment was misled.

In a speculative industry like finance, shouldn't we try our best to make charts less... alarmist?

The main problem as I've personally experienced it is the specialists not offering to send patients outside of their (the specialist's, not the patient's) comfort zone. Tell your specialist that you want to go somewhere outside of the city.

I'm from outside of Winnipeg. My Winnipeg specialist was about to write up a requisition for an MRI for me at her usual place. I had to ask to have her send the req to somewhere more familiar.

But I did say that's the main problem. The other side of it is influential doctors preventing rural facilities from purchasing the most cost-effective modern equipment, because "you can't have a hospital outside the city with a better CT scanner than we have at {x} urban hospital."

Yeah. At least use our provincial symbol. Saskatchewan is the land of the living skies, and North West Territories & Nunavut share the polar bear. Let them have the aurora and polar bear.

Edit: nevermind about the bear. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/polar-bear-official-emblem-manitoba-1.6204962

I agree, it's infuriating.

Probably people who have heard of these scientists being recently credited for their work.

The phrase "all the credit" is a bit sensationalist, and it's too easy to poke holes in, although I do concede that "Most of the credit" is vague and "All of the Nobel Prize recognition and prize money / peer accolades" is a bit too wordy.

It's important that we don't weaken the cause by easily disprovable exaggeration. These scientists did not get nearly enough credit; true.

A very important thing that is missing from these and modern ID cards is "preferred name" because there are so many people who at best ignore and at worst get irate when they are called by their legal first name in every new interaction yet don't bother to change it.

I'm not talking about all the "John Richards" out there who are called "Jack" or "Dick" by their loved ones who have bene given permiasion to use those common nicknames, I'm talking about the obstinate ones -- although having a preferred name would definitely accommodate them as well.

About the PIN thing -- I was confused too, because they never bother explaining to anyone. What actually happens is their system automatically e-mails you a new verification code (not a pin, if you ask me) while you're on the phone, and you need to remember to check whichever e-mail account that is and continuously refresh until it comes up.

It doesn't help that e-mail, like SMS text messaging, while being very fast is absolutely NOT an instant communication method. There can often be delays receiving a message with those technologies due to how they're designed.

They all have their quirks, but until airsonic-advanced catches up with the latest opensubsonic API, I've been trying out Audinaut, DSub, and Ultrasonic. I had to reorganize my whole library, though.

I'm not a fan of these album-based apps. most of my music falls under "Various Artists". As such, I've been playing around with Musicbrainz Picard to try different tagging in an attempt to try to find something that works across both at the server and client end.

Subsonic doesn't work for me, I'm guessing because it refuses to fall back to earlier versions of their API. I could be wrong.

There are many examples of this, but one that comes immediately to mind is the evolution of my favourite LDAP-enabled music player, airsonic-advanced

Subsonic begat libresonic

Libresonic begat airsonic as well as a whole bunch of other projects.

Airsonic begat airsonic-advanced

Airsonic-advanced begat kagemomiji/airsonic-advanced, however the maintainer of the parent codebase, randomnicode, wants to do the right thing and get their code up to snuff with the opensubsonic API (not sure where that fits in to thr history) so kagemomji can take over.

Well, the [vehicle] has been towed outside the environment.

I definitely agree about Christmas. It's secondary to Easter. Ash Wednesday is not even a holy day of obligation for Catholics, but the Octave of Christmas, January 1st is.

The provincial governments in charge of our single payor health care system made the conscious decision to keep the liquor marts open while banning in-person sales of tea kettles (and we call ourselves a commonwealth nation!) during a pandemic.

I think our single payor at least partially did this to themselves.
