Yeah, I understood. My reply wasn't actually directed at you; sorry for not being clear. I just wanted to add that bit in case other readers didn't know that this was more forceful than a request.

They weren't asked, they were mandated to do so directly by executive order. I get the desire to not comply, here, but if I'm NIH, I'm probably thinking that complying to keep the doors open for four years will do a hell of a lot more for the country than if they refuse and Trump totally dismantles their entire architecture with enough time that it's difficult to reinstitute when he's gone.

🤮

Their wording is confusing, but I think what you first understood is correct. Over 30 million Americans don't even live within an hour of a trauma care department (and an hour is further away): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28069138/

The mayor says that it's because the nearest hospital is 45 km away, but a full 16% of the US population, or roughly 55 million people, live further than that from a hospital (https://www.cnn.com/2017/08/03/health/hospital-deserts/index.html).

US healthcare really needs to stop looking like a third-world country.

Well it is a behavior disorder. If you don't have disruptive behavior, plenty of other psychiatric conditions cause the same or worse executive dysfunction (e.g., bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder) and the same or worse social anxiety and rejection sensitivity (e.g., social anxiety disorder). Let's not pretend like ADHD isn't difficult for others around the individual to deal with; it is, by definition, if someone has it.

Ask me if you'd like sources for any of the above.

That's actually a fairly common misconception. Professors get fired for cause all the time with tenure. People can also be let go even without cause if the college's board of directors votes to approve. Usually the board of directors won't give individual professors any thought, but if the professor is acting in ways they believe go against the best interests of the school--even if it doesn't strictly violate to the professor's contract--boards can and do vote to let professors go in those cases.

Tenure exists to protect a professor's freedom to research what they're interested in, even if it's not immediately fundable or a "hot topic." It allows for faculty to stand up to deans when deans may be taking the college in a bad direction. It also allows professors to have the ability to require a constant level academic rigor to pass their classes (e.g., even if a cohort of students is less prepared out of high school, they need to achieve the same level of mastery) since their contracts aren't dependent on teaching evaluations--provided that the professors are teaching their classes as expected. Tenure's only actual reason for existing, though, is research freedom, and firing happens all the time for reasons unrelated to research.

Just as an aside, I hadn't heard of that cursor feature before, and this is wonderful. Thanks for drawing my attention to it. I have to keep my work phone loaded with all the Google/MS spyware, so I still use Gboard on that phone. This will make typing work emails a lot easier.

I've heard that most, if not all, of their stations outside of NY are essentially for training other police departments. Is that not true?

I'd like to know as well

I use Linux. I'm a researcher, not IT. Many of my colleagues use Linux.
