I assume not, but they have a huge selection of podcasts

I really don't mind the open office. It's a good excuse not to work hard /s

What exactly is happening here?

No

They look like the Wayans brothers

Serious question, what's the problem with hibernate?

And that works perfectly fine. Also, I like Lemmy the size it is now, but people who want to see Lemmy grow into a mainstream platform, are shit out of luck while these folks still roam our midsts

America first, the Netherlands second

That was a pleasant surprise. I like how they combined various disciplines, a classic orchestra, opera, choir and also the energy of it all. But it's weird so see a man hanging from the ceiling, if you don'tknow the movie.

Reminds me of this song codo

Do I though? My TV still works fine and isn't smart and I don't feel like I'm missing anything

I don't even notice a real difference between 1080p and 4k. I bever watch 4k. For some shows, like stupid sitcoms, I still accept 720p, because it's less than 1gb.

If we're talking about IQ, than no. An IQ between 85 and 115 is considered average. This entails 68% of the population. So, only 32% of people are not average and only 16% are below average.

My FIL once bought an expensive coffee machine that worked with beans. But you couldn't just buy a bag of regular beans and refill the machine, no, you needed to buy a special kind of expensive cassette with their brand and their beans that fitted perfectly in the machine. My FIL just sowed off the top of the cassette that came with the purchase and refilled it with regular coffee beans for years.

Fuck you, I'm not old! You're lying! I just get shin splints very quickly when I run outside. I don't get it as quickly when I run on a treadmill. Plus, my employer pays more than half of my gym subscription.

Still the other person's point stands. It is a wage issue, but the questions isn't just "How much money do you want?", but alo "How much are you willing to do for that money?".

Since this post was originally about AI, let's return there. Many advances are being made with AI in elderlcare. Some more useful than others. Your point of people getting angry because they loose their independence is a recognised problem that people are trying to solve with technology, like communication apps and teaching elderly how to use technology to their benefit. But there are other solutions to think about. Like placing the facilities in a good location, where things like stores, hairdressers and restaurants are in walking distance. Or even making public transport more accessible. Also community is important. That has always been a struggle, but in the past decade I've seen a lot more events being organised in elder homes. Sometimes these events are organised internally, but there are also a lot of private companies who are trying to fill this need.

There are also a lot of technical innovations in care and monitoring. There are small, wearable heart rate monitors, blood sugar monitors, whatnot monitors, all kinds of monitors so nurses don't have to come by twuce a day to measure someone's values. There are smart diapers so you don't have to clean someone hours after the fact, but you'll get a notice immediately. Maybe there'll even be smart showers at some point. This takes a lot of pressure of the (still understaffed) nurses who don't have to walk as many rounds

All these advancements also mean that people will be able to live at home for longer and remain fairly independent for longer and therefor happier for longer.

So I think the question "How much are you willing to do for that money?" is not all the shit you said, but technology can help reduce the amount of shit you have to deal with. I think that, combined with better pay, better and fairer career chances, better treatment of lesser educated staff and more respect for the sector in general will make it so that more people are willing to choose nursing as a career.

That may be a lot to ask right now, but it's something to strive for as a society. We've got a lot of pessimists on this platform, but I've met a lot of good people in the sector that are already working hard to make it better and are making steps every day.

P.s. I don't work in elderly care, but I used to work for a company that delivered care aids to elderly people living at home.

I imagine wireless headphones are more expensive by definition. So cheap wireless headphones (say 10€) are by definition worse that cheap wired headphones of the same price. I'm willing to pay 50 to 80€ for decent quality, I'm sure that's not the most expensive, but it might be too expensive for some. I've had philips in ear headphones that were just a perfect fit. I sadly lost them recently and now have cheap ones that suck. I'm not much of a sound snob, but these cheap ones have bad sound quality and don't cancel out any outside noise.

It's to remind them what they are bodybuilding for. To fight the bikinigirl empire. Join the resistance, fight the oppressors!

What's wrong with wireless audio? I've often had the problem that my audio jack was full of dirt so the jackplug couldn't properly connect anymore. I don't have that problem with wireless. Worst problem is that the connection sometimes stutters when I'm walking through the train station during rush hour
