Yeah, I could, but it's a perfectly valid line of conversation to critique a post's title.
I don't think laziness is a valid line of criticism. I also find it strange to critique a title separate from its intended context.
we have the saying, "Always judge a book by its cover, and judge a response by it's grammar"
I don't think that's a very common idiom. It seems to imply that pedantry is more important than substance.
Depends, but most of the time with NDA they don't prohibit you from talking about how an accident happened. They just don't allow you to assign liability/responsibility to the company.
The victim and the family of the victim kinda fell over themselves to make it clear that they don't blame the company, despite the fact that they were so negligent.
To be fair, they may have signed an NDA as part of their workers comp agreement. The prosthetics he has are pretty rare to see on people, as most private and socialized insurances won't cover microprocessing knee units.
The vast majority of the time when you see a high end powered knee unit on a guy that young, it's because they had a workers comp case, or they got them at the Walter Reed veterans hospital.
The knee looks like a Genium x3, which alone can bill for around 100k. His prosthetic feet bill for around 10k a piece, and then there's probably another 50k for custom sockets.
Even if he did harbor a grudge against the employer, in his position it would be difficult to rock the boat and potentially be on the hook for his acquired medical cost.
It's unfortunate, but I've definitely had a patient who was successfully sued for losing their leg at work. Word to the wise, don't get hurt on the job in Kansas.
You could always read the article......
K2 is just running on a big diesel engine, so it's not going to be as maintenance prone as the turbine on the Abrams.
They've already kinda been doing that, just indirectly. Western partners have been giving their old stock of 155 to Ukraine and then resupplying with Korean made 155s.
I think a real game changer would be if they actually decided to give them access to the K2 tank. It would be interesting to see what an actual modern tank could do in Ukraine, especially considering they have layers of protection against drones and atgm. Plus they can crank them off the production line faster than any other nation.
Eh, for a country that's not in Europe, let alone NATO, they've done more than most. South Korea's main goal is to counter North Korea's geopolitical agenda. They've had laws on the books that prevent them from openly giving lethal aid to countries for decades now.
They are allowed to, and have circumvented this rule when N Korea gets involved, but they've done it in a tit for that manor. Sending shells through third parties to vicariously give lethal aid when N Korea "secretly" supplies Russia with rockets and shells.
This escalation from Russia and North Korea will likely be met by an escalation in a similar tit for tat manor. I don't think they'll send actual troops to Ukraine, but it wouldn't surprise me if they ramp up shell production, as well as making the K2 tank factory go brrrr.
If you don’t work for Samsung or SK Group you are lower class.
I mean, that's just factually incorrect. South Korea has a fairly large manufacturing economy, a lot of my family are shipwrights and make really decent money. The other half of my family works for banks and for the government, none of them are considered low class.
South Korea does have a pretty brutal work regiment, but they also have very aggressive trade unions who aren't afraid to go on massive and often violent strikes.
old friends who do work for those Chaebols will stop associating with you.
According to who? I mean you may stop seeing them as often, but that's just because the work culture often extends out of office. It's pretty traditional to go out drinking or eating with your coworkers, but that doesn't mean people stop associating with their friends who don't work with them.
This post, at this time, is very obviously pointed at influencing the US election.
Criticizing a genocide doesn't automatically mean someone's trying to influence an election, especially considering that it been constantly criticized for over a year.
trump and his people have literally talked out loud about how great the "beachfront property" will be for Israel once they annihilate Gaza and the Palestinian people.
If both political parties geopolitical goals align with Israel, what exactly leads you to believe this is meant to influence the election? It's not telling you to vote for stien, or trump.
Maybe if people didn't go out of their ways to shield any level of criticism of their representatives we might have a more functional democracy, and maybe there would be less kids dying in Gaza.
Not to sound too Korean..... but, that's kinda the social repercussion of electing war criminals, then the children of war criminals, and the grandchildren of war criminals to lead your country.
Modern Japan is a weird poly-sci experiment examining what would happen if you took guns away from a fascist government.
And you are all actively sinking in that faulty boat, about to die in the middle of the ocean...
And who does this represent in your scenario?
Hope she cashed in during COVID. Our hospital administration was trying to get everyone to turn on all the nurses making bank during lock down, but pretty much every provider I know was just happy there were people hitting the administration where it hurts.
Not just the staff either, providers are making significantly less every year.
I work in orthopedics and rehabilitation, and even though the cost of school, licensing, and insurance has skyrocketed. My field is basically being paid the same amount they were 30 years ago, and that's not even accounting for inflation.
In some ways it's nice, as medicine doesn't attract people who are just in it for the money any longer. But, hospital organizations now know that providers are basically locked in a sunk cost fallacy to pay back their loans, and on top of that they have a calling for it.
I think now that we've successfully prosecuted the Jan. 6th domestic terrorists, we can put this notion to rest.
Except that the feds had their kiddy gloves on for sentencing..... Out of the thousands of people there only a small percentage have caught charges that drastically change their lives, and even then not to the point of treason nor terrorism charges.
We absolutely can and should go after these nutjobs threatening federal workers.
I agree, but I don't see it happening any time soon. Not when the person who led them is still considered appropriate for the highest position in the land to half of the electorate.
Islamic fundamental extremism didn't really find its way into Afghanistan until the 80's. It was transplanted by the Saudi government who were in part supported by the United States as a way to counter the Soviet invasion.
If you actually ever get the chance to meet an actual Afghan family, I think you would be surprised of how kind they generally are, hospitality is a cornerstone of their culture.
I think it's important to realize that the cultural identity of the Taliban to America isn't actually based off of Afghan culture, it's based off of the Saudi, and that the Afghan people are the real victims of this .
Mainly because after the pr disasters of ruby ridge and then Waco, right winged militia's grew in numbers, basically using the events as marketing materials.
Right winged grifters love it when they are confronted, it fulfills all their fantasies about the underdog standing up to authority, and proves in their minds that they were correct the whole time.
Since the American fascist movements have legitimized news organizations that will echo their claims, it's extremely hard to actually crack down on them without turning them into Martyrs.
The end result has been the federal government putting right winged extremists on the back burner for the last 30 years, allowing them to fester into the infection we know and hate today.
Yeah, pediatric care is both tremendously rewarding and horrendously soul crushing depending on what department you're working in. You eventually build up some callouses over the years, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit summers haven't lost some of its luster because of my job.
Engaging with families who went from having some of the best time of their lives to the worst moments of their existence over the course of the evening is still tough.
Unfortunately, that's not an uncommon experience. For some reason a lot of parents who normally wouldn't leave their kids unsupervised with a 700 pound piece of industrial machinery, are completely okay with letting them operate and drive a 700 pound piece of equipment with virtually no safety features.
