So the cost of kids dying in a bus fire outweighs the benefit of reduced injury/deaths from more minor accidents. Sounds plausible, but I’d be interested in seeing some numbers to back it up.

runswithjedi,

I saw something the other day where drinking lava cures Covid so this checks out.

runswithjedi,

How’s this for simple: your kid has a higher chance of dying from measles than from the vaccine, even when you assume all conspiracy theories are correct.

runswithjedi,

I’ve had the same thing happen when I use Lemmy’s uploader. You can embed it by formatting a link like this: ![](linktogif.gif)

runswithjedi,

I may have misunderstood you. I thought you were uploading a gif. I’m not sure if you can embed a video file like that. It can’t convert to a different file type by embedding.

runswithjedi,

It should as long as it’s a .gif url

runswithjedi,

I’m also wondering. It kind of looks like powerlevel10k, but with different colors.

runswithjedi,

If I recall correctly, submarines were just coming around during the Civil War in the US.

Yep, I used Copilot. The prompt was something like

two angry people holding signs. One sign says “ZJh ZJh ZJh ZJh” and the other sign says “JhZ JhZ JhZ JhZ”

runswithjedi,

Lettering has gotten way better. It takes a few tries, but I can get full sentences most of the time and short phrases fairly reliably.

runswithjedi,

It definitely messes it up and is very inconsistent. It’s getting better though.

runswithjedi,

But I voted so that you can make more money. Doesn’t that count for something?

runswithjedi,

Kid: I want to help people struggling with their finances use the law to get away from crippling debt!

Mom: And you’ll do that with… music?

Kid: Yep, I saw it in my dreams!

–Mom buys dreamcatcher–

Kid: Mom, you’ll never believe it. I dreamt that the best way to help those people was to study law and finance and change the system from within!

runswithjedi,

Are we sure it isn’t magnets? Any chip implants? Telekinesis?

runswithjedi,

Yeah, you’re right. I just don’t think perfection should be the enemy of good enough. Although, like others have said, Medicare and Medicaid are nowhere near even good enough. But they are programs that exists, and providers and insurers already have to, by law, negotiate with them. The laws need major reform, but it might be easier to make incremental changes rather than a total overhaul.

Plus the US does have many disparate laws guaranteeing some basic treatment. For example, hospitals have to provide stabilizing care for anyone, regardless of ability to pay. Incremental reform could gradually bring all those laws under Medicare/Medicaid, giving everyone time to adjust.
