If you’re ever in the area, check the Loggerhead Marinelife Center referenced in the article. This time of year, they have tons of baby turtles that are so adorable! Even worth a visit at other times to see all the injured turtles being healed.
It’s good news for this place in the world and I hope other places in the world pay attention and make these medical marvels available to everyone. In the EU country I live in, you can have access to these kinds of drugs if you say you are a prostitute and you have to somehow prove you are a sex worker to get access to them. It looks like in Innery Sydney, Australia, they actually tried a different approach which made medicine available to people who wanted to protect themselves from accidental exposure. It’s really a no-brainer, medical professionals and politicians: Stop making people feel guilty about having some fun a screwing around with people of the same sex and start helping them protect themselves when they’re just a little too tipsy to think and have an “accident.”
Yeah, I get that. But even antiretrovirals are not available to a lot of people. In Europe they must be approved and some of them are not. The same is true in the USA. Then, in the USA, you have to be able to afford them because your insurance will help you pay for them or you have lots of money. In Europe, where socialdemocracy is still in place, the public health system may or may not decide it’s a thing you can have access to. If it decides you can’t have access to it, you have to pay. So, um, you know, your point is a good one, but it’s a moot point. I also did not directly refer to prophylactic drugs in my comment. You just assumed I was talking about them. Read my comment again and think about what I’ve said here about access to medicines that prevent the spread of the disease. You unwittingly made a ton of assumptions about my comment.
What’s people’s thoughts on these for a new build that won’t connect to the gas grid. Electric underfloor heating is almost 100% efficient, cheap, doesn’t need plumbing or radiators, and incredibly easy to zone rooms. But these are 300-400% efficient
This is not going to happen. My theory about work is that it serves to keep people busy, preventing them from thinking about social inequities and injustices, and also to keep them from having time for personal growth, professional development, etc. This is why you got 60-80 work hours per week if we count the commute to work, lunch time, among other things.
I replied to a comment that you replied to so you may have missed it…
We do a 4 day week and that’s definitely a thing but retaining staff is a huge benefit too. Who’s giving up a three day weekend every weekend? Absolutely nobody :)
So I run a small company that took part in a 4 day week trial in conjunction with a university. The goal was to set staff up with the tools necessary to achieve their full week of work in four days and measure whether it was being achieved while looking at other measurable metrics (e.g. absence through illness)
It was an unqualified success and we’ll never go back. The drive to keep a three day weekend coupled with the freshness of rolling into work after one meant everyone was absolutely hitting the same productivity levels.
Like there’s no need to fuck around on Reddit or Lemmy if you’re well rested and trying to make sure you keep that going.
Heat pumps are fantastic, some of the most efficient machines humans have made! Recently upgraded from an old 1950’s oil furnace to a heat pump w/ electric backup and I’ve saved so much money.
