I mean I know that long wait times exist in our system, but I've personally just never experienced them.
I broke my arm a couple years ago. Got to hospital around 8pm. Got painkillers immediately and a bed on the triage ward, stronger painkillers within 30 mins, got x-rays, consulted and then a Ketamine injection and had the arm set and bandaged within 3 hours, then was scheduled for surgery the next day when the non emergency surgeons are in. Went under at 11am the next day, had a plate put in and stiched up and was released by 5pm that day, so in and out in <24 hours.
And it cost me absolutely nothing.
The longest I've had to wait for something was 2 weeks to get a MRI done on my knee after I dislocated it.
I have a nothing phone 3 and very happy with it, it does everything you really want a smartphone to do, and looks stylish (imo) and has a really slick UI.
Downsides are camera is not good in low light and they push the AI stuff too hard.
And I'm not sure it quite justified the price tags when comparing it to Chinese or Samsung phones at a similar spec, but it's not way off and for me was easy to justify a slightly higher price tag for a British based design company and better repairability/rights as well as some cool features and looks.
But the price point is the one thing all these 3rd party phones suffer from, you either have to make a proper budget phone, or try and make a flagship, but will cost 20% more than a Samsung because of scale costs.
But what I'm asking is, who decides if you pass chemistry 1?
In my country you would take a standardised chemistry 1 exam paper at the end of the year that everyone in the country doing chemistry 1 would take and would get a grade based on how well you did, and if you get less than like 40% you would fail.
In the US can the teacher just decide after the test what a passing grade is?
That's my point, we should adopt cats, which is why presenting data as "cats bad" is not useful or productive. Separating the data to show it's feral cats that's are the real issue, is more useful because it lets us push the point that we need to deal with stray cats, which is what's important.
since there is no way to eradicate feral cats while allowing pet populations. Pet populations will ensure feral cats remain endemic forever.
Exactly, so the choice is either get rid of pets, or deal with feral cats. So we should present the data in a way that shows pets aren't the real problem.
Yes, they are linked, but again, that's not the point, pet cats are linked to humans, but a graph that just lumps all that data in together isn't useful. The point of data visualisation is to present the data usefully.
From what I see most people really don't give too much of a shit. Sure in leftists circles where people care deeply about other it might be just exhaustion. But to your average person? They don't really care as long as they come home from work, and zone out to netflix while the mindlessly scroll tiktok for hours.
Maybe if they consider themselves liberal they will like a couple posts about how bad trump is or maybe even make a quippy tweet, but that's about itm
And domestic cats are a result of humans, so you could just lump all of that under humans, but that would be less useful. Because the point of these days visualisations is to present the data usefully.
Separating them would show people that if you want to combat the problem it's better to support trap, neuter, release programs, than to say not adopt a domestic cat.
Graph would be better if feral cats were separated from pet cats. As the vast majority of predation comes from those feral cats.
And then there's a few other factors to consider, like cats mostly hunting weaker and sick birds that are less likely to make it to their next breeding season anyway, Vs collisions that will effect all birds pretty equally no matter how strong and healthy they are, so cat predation would have a lower effect on actual population levels.
I think tablets like these are actually extremely common.
I know a guy I spoke to at the British Museum about cuneiform tablets said they literally just have hundreds and hundreds of them in storage and they are most very mundane record keeping.
