Or on your first day in the job at some point you could raise an eyebrow at the invitation to bathe naked with your new boss, as well.

Procedures? Nearly all of them, although if for no other reason than the fact that midlevels don't do most types of procedures. This being for a variety of reasons including the fact that they don't get training in this area (or much training at all - NPs can be online degrees).
I understand that there are a lot of different procedures, but surely there has to be some sort of pareto principle involved in which the top 30 or so procedures cover 90% of the hospitalizations. I do agree that NPs will get the most basic cases, but what % of cases actually is that?
Is there that huge a difference between 23,000 hours of Child Psychiatry and 600? I work in a well-paid niche role and generally if somebody's got the right disposition towards it I'd be comfortable of allowing most fresh grads on the tools after about 50 hours of shadowing.

Honestly I've got a close female friend who's prettymuch an exemplar of this, and even prone to fandom-adjacent 'whirlwind romances'.
Everything is either 110 or 0, and 'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned'

I mean I'd be willing to bet that he's a very horny man who has probably been improper (especially if measured through the TurboVictorian lens of 2024 cancel culture) to women at some point. I'd also be willing to bet that nothing he's done has crossed the line of light coercion and taking advantage of fangirls.
Neil Gaiman having sexual misconduct allegations alleged against him.

Fascinating for the usual 'she was a defenseless underaged 21 year old' tract and 'we had somewhat bad sex at some point' allegations. Reading between the lines it feels clear that Gaiman is a serial polyamorist and atleast a moderate sexpest (by modern standards), but surprising timing to go for him now.
There's been some minor backlash-backlash on grounds of the accusers being TERFs and therefore unworthy of being in the online sphere, and there's nothing explicitly criminal about the accused actions but will be interesting to see how it impacts ongoing projects like Sandman and Good Omens.

How many hospital procedures does the distinction between NP & Doctor make a meaningful difference, though? I'm sure there's shortfalls but is it a matter where 98% is functionally identical treatment? Plus frankly what % of the remainder cases where there'd be a meaningful differentiation represent productive uses of resources versus using pure ingenuity and the light of god to get the 85 year old to 87 years old.

the markets being thinly traded and subject to the whims of the whales.
The big plunge happened during the middle of the night US-time on not much volume. I think thin liquidity + assumptions of whoever's moving the market having private info has created the current state of affairs.

Yeah Polymarket in particular didn't really move on that much money. 200k approx from 60% to 48% Biden.
Admittedly it was on no headlines during US overnight slot

I'd imagine anybody at that level of politics at his age would be subject to a lot of medical screening.
Not that Biden doesn't clearly show signs of pre-dementia, but I'd be surprised if Trump etc hadn't also been screened at some point.

Michelle Obama's random 10-15% position in every market has been a thing since 2020. Some people believe she's waiting to jump out of the proverbial bushes.
I personally think it's a mix of a large whale making a large anti-Biden bet, the market being rather spooked at the moment (Polymarket only took $200k~ approx to move Biden from 60% to 48% due to potential non-public information and a lot of enthusiasm to bet non-Biden candidates for the Dem nominee at the least provocation.

It's egodeath for a lot of minority interests to have to essentially acknowledge that the majority of equal rights concessions came from Western Whites essentially opting to concede them

I broadly agree with this. Ronald Reagan, for my understanding, spent most of his presidency in an equivalent state to present Biden and a lot of people would argue that that was the pinnacle of the American empire.

Yeah, like one seems like a functioning democratic affluent society and the other feels like... Lebanon/Syria'd be best case scenario for a free Palestine.

The nearest semi-stable company with conditions resembling the place that they took refuge from.
Or in Israel's case there's 2 million or so local Arabs who are largely prosperous compared to regional comparisons and aren't associated with Hamas. An Israeli Arab is generally healthier and wealthier than any other Arab aside from those privileged enough to have their hands in the till in Petrostates.

There are far more Israeli Arabs living in peace and harmony than Palestinian Jews.
Also why would the Israelis remove the Christians? For the most part so long as you're not fomenting direct revolt they're generally not arbitrarily targeting religious minorities that are productive and peaceful.

Israel is a great threat to Palestine and the lack of a Palestinian state is a direct threat to the Palestinians. There is no reason except the donors to value Israel higher than Palestine.
I personally have no particular interest in the conflict and agree that what Israel is doing isn't particularly ethically sound, but I believe that if a one-state solution was to occur that that it'd likely be a far more successful and pleasant place to be if it was under Israeli administration instead of being yet another semi-failed Islamic state without meaningful oil wealth.

It baffles me how Israel-Palestine has blossomed into this defining political issue in so many countries with no real reason to have a vested interest in the matter.

Yeah Biden looked like he was on death's door for the first 10 minutes, and then warmed somewhat into like... D+ form instead of the F---- that he began with.

Going back even further, when Caesar crossed the Rubicon, all the soldiers certainly knew they were doing something "illegal". They just didn't care because they were loyal to Caesar and not the existing state.
It's not like the average LatAm general has just spent years leading his quasi-personal army through a plunderfest throughout Northern Europe and decided to return with said troops.
Yeah even if the coast is relatively dense by Australian standards there's still huge chunks of the Eastern coastline that's essentially undeveloped. Latrobe-Gippsland has a large coal mining presence already and about 6.5 people per square KM (which is concentrated into a few urban areas)
Yes but it wasn't just 'the debate happened and Biden started plummeting'. There was a bunch of movement against Biden during the event, it largely wound back, and then about 24 hours ago a second far-stronger push of money started happening without any particular headlines to motivate it.
