Can we please have a new story icon for AI slop?

I don't think they're leaving because they feel like they're being replaced. I think that they're leaving because despite these measures to reduce their workload they still feel like they're overworked and underpaid. It's not a new phenomenon, or even restricted to doctors. Professionals moving from Britain to Australia for better pay and better weather has been happening for years. The last time I remember it being in the news was when it was construction workers: brickies, plumbers, and sparks, etc.

I don't have any "antibacterial" hand soap but I do have some dish soap. It contains a tiny amount of alcohol and an even tinier amount of lactic acid. Truth be told I only buy that brand because I like the smell. If I actually care about disinfecting something I use those tablets meant for cleaning babies' bottles. (They dissolve in water to make a very mild bleach solution.)

From TFA:

The estimated number of deaths in people with a resistant infection rose from 2,041 in 2023 to 2,379 in 2024, a 17% increase.

It is. It's also illegal to advertise prescription medicines. Sunak may have been pretty useless (someone needed to show him how to use contactless payment FFS), but being the child of two pharmacists seems to have paid off. Allowing pharmacists to prescribe medicines for a very small number of illnesses takes a little pressure off GPs. By "very small" I mean about half a dozen. Strep throat is one of them I think.

We don't feed animals with antibiotics in the UK, and you can't just buy them from a farm store without a prescription.

And the delivery driver's.

I said that's being alleged, not that it actually happens.

They're also putting news stories out that users of these so-called "dodgy boxes" are putting themselves at risk of having their bank details stolen. Legality aside this really does stink of desperation.

It's not just Amazon though. Most of the people I know with these things have the app installed on Nvidia shields and they're not using them to watch Prime content; mostly they have them to avoid the massive costs that Sky charge for sports coverage. The article linked above tries to downplay the savings as only about £13 a month. Sky TV alone can cost four times that for the Sports+Movie package.

Remember, the more often you do it the less special it becomes.

Does this Cohen person get paid to write this?!

Borg?! As if Elon is interested in creating the ultimate communist society..

No, be a good little drone and join the line for the Nerve Stapler.

Five minutes on YouTube with no ad blocker should disabuse them of that notion.

Let me get this right.
App that circumvents gambling regulations,
Using crypto,
Gets manipulated by amateurs doing HFT?

Yeah, cry me a fucking river.

That was the official account belonging to the actual fucking White House.

Not just some fruitcake like MTG or Bobo, the people who are supposed to represent the entire US government. Let that sink in. The people that are supposed to be sober, truthful and respectful are quite literally shit-posting.

Ask the lobsters.
