  • I've heard the concern that employers are worried someone with a PhD who is taking a "lesser" job won't be around all that long and will continue job hunting for something better. For employers with this mindset, I'd like to suggest: 1) it's not too hard to beat academia wages; 2) find ways to promote within/add responsibility when people prove themselves

  • I think the north east corridor Acela line claims to be high speed, its a bit faster than standard Amtrak I guess. I think there's also a line in Florida

  • How do people doctor shop? Don't all doctors pass info on all their patients between each other? And in this day and age how do they do it.?

    跳过

  • You can either start with a general Internet search for doctors and read their reviews and check if they accept your insurance. Or start with your insurance company's list of providers (which may be out of date) and then go read reviews for doctors. If possible, I highly recommend non-profit/university-affiliated doctors offices, and especially stay away from anything owned by private equity...they try to squeeze as much money out of patients and their employees as possible.

    In the US, doctors aren't allowed to share info about their patients with anyone without the patient's permission. However, there are lists out there for people who try to circumvent controlled substance laws.

  • Why does most religion talk about their GOD being male? Especially Christains and Muslims. Is there a prominent female god that as big as the other two that I am missing?

  • Can you eat soap for acid reflux?

    跳过

  • A lot of things marketed as soaps these days are really detergents that contain sulfates and can be very harmful if swallowed.

    Stick to FDA approved medicines. Medicine like tums use this strategy to decrease the acidity. Other medications block the stomach's ability to become acidic.

    If you have heart burn that won't go away or chronic acid reflux, see a doctor

  • Is road or rail more expensive?

    跳过

  • The City Nerd channel on YouTube and Nebula discusses this issue a LOT. Trains are by far the most cost effective method of transporting large numbers of people and goods.

    Here's a video discussing costs of car use

    Here's one on the cities with the most affordable housing and transportation costs. As he explains housing and transportation costs are directly linked to each other.

  • How do you be aware of major issues in the world and locally without becoming deeply depressed and cynical?

    跳过

  • Agreed! I get this with my Unitarian Universalist church community. UUs don't require anyone to believe a certain scripture, but we have a shared set of principles, like valuing democracy, science, and nature. The community aspect and music program are great by themselves, and our minister's sermons have been a great source of motivation to keep fighting for what we believe in.

  • What would it mean for the world if the US were to transform itself from the usual democracy-like plutocracy into an outright dictatorship? Would anything change at all?

    跳过

  • Depends on your demographics a bit. Dictatorships like to scapegoat ethnic minorities or other out groups (see Pinochet's, Mao's, Pol Pot's, etc extermination of scientists and educators) for society's problems. These groups of people tend to experience much greater intensity of oppression under dictatorships than already present in the US. This tends to change culture on a fundamental level because most people actively try to fit in with the in group to avoid becoming a target themselves.

    While present to some degree in our current system, another core characteristic of dictatorships is that self enrichment for those in power is the primary driving factor for decision making. Dictators don't need to pay lip service to making decisions for the greater good. You see this especially prominently in dictatorships in developing countries with valuable resources... The dictators and their close friends take all of the wealth from resource extraction for themselves and everyone else lives in extreme poverty. Yes we have wealth inequality already, but it would be accelerated even more. You could see even highly skilled professionals having a hard time making ends meet (or in jail for being too smart and having "ideas"), and even more homelessness, potentially even wide scale famine.

    In terms of geopolitics... Our relationship with allies would become about how the relationship personally benefits those in power.
