5yr wait to be assigned a family doctor, then once you are accepted you can book yearly checkups etc. until then you don’t have a family doctor you can call.

broadly I’d characterize it as people 35+ likely have a family doctor they can call for an appointment in 1-2 weeks, people under 35 likely don’t have a family doctor.

there are also same-day “walk-in” clinics but the system is a bit bizarre. basically you need to present yourself in-person at 7am to claim a spot for later in the day (e.g. 3pm) to see a GP. so in practice it’s essentially next day service, which means you will go to the ER for anything somewhat urgent (4-8hr wait time).

specialists are a separate thing so if you need a referral, you need to go through a family doctor and then wait 1-2yr. in practice this means that many people just go to paid clinics for whatever treatments they need.

overall much better than nothing but sometimes worth considering if the service is worth nearly half your income.

In 2007, they made five $1M coins from 99.999% pure gold. One was loaned to a Berlin museum, stolen, allegedly melted down, and sold for scrap.
sometimes I wonder what would happen if someone next to me is scrolling TikTok on full volume if I just start blasting screamo if they would stop bc they wouldn’t be able to hear their own nuisance over mine

there’s a certain irony to marketing FC as a place to make money to people on twitter

it’s not that it’s incorrect.. whether you cast and get rewards or were early to FC coins like $degen or $clanker but the traders with real money are purposefully not on purple app because it is typically** counter signal to opportunity (memecoins, solana, perps, etc.) and don’t get me started on cultural differences 💀

But to normies on Twitter, Instagram, etc. Yeah sure, you definitely will make money in ways you may have struggled to.

I guess it’s just different target audiences with a similar goal
EF comms issues is all too familiar to Juicebox pain points

how do you maintain neutrality? how do you story-tell without favouring specific projects? how do you ensure there isn’t 1 face of an org? how do you get to comms when everyone is an engineer and thinks they’re doing just fine?

met Joel Sternfeld today with @brileigh, totally surreal experience tbh.
I worry for my friends on the left who fall down the AI hatred hole and never learn how to use these magical tools

What happens when they no longer have competitive advantage in work/education/creative environments? You can’t die on this side of the hill forever.
you know how dems taught kids about gender identities in school?
am I wrong for thinking that republicans would be better off teaching kids about inflation or like government systems/spending than about Jesus? Like to secure the vote? Is religion really that much more powerful??

idk just a thought
Ethereum would be such a good drag name

things I would not do as PM candidate:

- be unfriendly to the most powerful president/country that lives next door

first time I’ll be missing Christmas with my family this year bc they have bed bugs

cherish ur time with ppl irl
I think @matthewb should start a consulting business. do you need monitor recommendations? are you looking for a high quality hojicha powder? what about a customized hi-fi audio set up for your home? he will do the r e s e a r c h

most artists tend to be bad at making money or even (un)consciously avoid it. this seems counterintuitive but believe it or not, university art programs condition students to believe that they will be poor and deserve it. it’s truly bizarre once you gain some distance.
s/o to Warpcast for not turning every channel I follow into a bunch of giant group chats with notifications on that I never wanted to be in

Upon reflection, I probably wouldn’t work in DAOs (unpredictable) while trading memecoins (also unpredictable) while helping a legal fundraiser that ppl are too scared to support (unpredictable AF) thus allowing governments to set precedent that any protocol can be sanctioned

I would like more stability in my life
Me in 2020: screw Loblaws those greedy rich men at the top making all the money while cashiers suffer

Me in 2024: boycotting Loblaws because groceries cost more isn’t the problem, it’s inflation
people love to diss memecoin traders and ignore those same opinions about those that buy gold or stocks

same shit different pile
