OP completely missing the point why US is spending so much money on military. US doesn't care about ANYONE but US. All moves and "nannying" is strategical in nature and to US benefit.

Pivot and do tech for companies that have no idea about tech. There are companies spending thousands of dollars on contractors who deliver suboptimal work. Hiring someone who can code/vet/manage contractors can save money. You cou

I really wish more work was done on patients records in general. I took Cipro 10 years ago, and still suffer from some neurological and connective tissue problems. It's not as bad as it was initially but it hasn't resolved yet. I

Do you think universal healthcare would affect pharmaceuticals? I think it would not be relevant to the vaccines as we would still spend money on R&D under the pandemic threat.

I don't know how any American can accept the pile of trash that the US healthcare is. The only good thing is that in some cases you will get state of the art care, this is "rare" and may not result in better outcomes. 1. The

I'm huge on investing. I believe building wealth is extremely important and 18 is a great time to start. Therefore, I would recommend "The simple path to wealth" and "The little book of common sense investing".

Pi-hole is awesome. It did give me some issues with a few streaming services that I think used google ads.

Are you hosting stuff that you can access from outside of your local network? I was always a bit concerned about allowing outside traffic since I don't feel like managing security.

I have taken opiates for pain, and first time I took it I also experienced calm and euphoria. However, it only lasted the first few doses. I would quickly need to up the dosage to feel the same effects. I can see how someone could really st

This reminds me....I should get back to the Meta recruiter who has been emailing me for weeks to get on a call. Honestly, FB might be cancer but you can get to work on some large scale projects. Plus, other corporations don't really ca

I cannot take your comments seriously. >Its not hard to build a wall As it turns out it is extremely hard to build a wall across a whole border. It is a big project that requires a lot money and support. Trump has clearly failed to deliv

Who could have thought building a robust wall could be this hard? It was a silly project. If the US govt. really wanted to tackle illegal immigration they would give massive fines for hiring illegal immigrants and offer rewards to individua

There are some caveats to SO. In the beginner stages it is helpful but I have found many issues with SO code over the years and some of it was in the top answers. I would highly recommend following a tutorial on plurarsight, teamtree or ano

I know people saving up and getting out of the medical field, as it became extremely toxic in the US. Expensive and mostly ran by huge corporate entities seeking profit. I would much rather click on a computer.

This isn't true. Once you know cars enough, the same thing applies to car repair. I just need the torque specs for the bolts, I don't need or want to watch a whole video.

>AFAIK bacterial infections are in-practice often only suspected not confirmed before prescribing anti-biotics so why emphasize this? It does happen but is a HUGE problem in medicine. This doesn't mean this is the CORRECT procedure

I don't think you read the complete post. Let's take fluoroquinolones for example. It is an extremely dangerous antibiotic, no longer recommended as a first line treatment for simple infection. Yet, patients are being prescribed i

I do not understand why there is a huge gap between scientific knowledge and physicians. I had a problem with an allergic reaction to an antibiotic. This resulted in me actually paying attention to drug labels, side effects and what a drug

Because I start my conversation with "What is the salary range for this position?", and if that range is too low, I give them a number we may start a discussion at. I don't feel like talking about position that pays $20k less

I wasn't underpaid. I was about average for the market but I liked the flexibility they offered. I'm now way above average. I doubled my salary in 4 years, but I try to do my best to produce results.

Honestly, I'm not concerned if it "great resignation" really happened. My boss heard the news and I was able to leverage an offer to get a 50% salary increase. This worked out well for me. The negative side-effect is that I a

Honestly, any state school should do. I graduated with high honors from just an average state school and have no problems getting interview requests at fortune 500 companies and at amazon/fb. I do pass interviews also :).

You can minimize EF use by using stored procedures or raw sql statements but learning EF is the way to go imo.
