Disease can change body odor, and dogs have been trained to "sniff out disease" [0][1] (i.e. detect via smell) for years. Various researchers have been working on robot noses that would be able to do the same.[2] Presumably a widespread and/or less expensive version of this "robot nose" is what doku means by "AI nose sniffs out many common diseases".
> it seems like some will choose to work and pay taxes in order that someone who is able but unwilling to work can have better housing and food than they do
This is certainly possible because it already happens now with the current setup.
As I said, I don't believe being able to work is an ethical prerequisite to survival. I don't believe being willing to work is an ethical prerequisite to survival.
Yes, I believe people should have food and water sufficient for survival regardless of their ability to work.

The government can work to provide the medication that its citizens require to stay alive. Under such a system, those who are able and willing to work can, via taxes or other contributions, provide medications that some citizens require to stay alive. Many such systems seem to cost less overall than the system currently existing in the United States, so the average man who will work will have to work fewer hours to pay for an average dose of average quality anything required to stay alive.
Alternatively or in tandem, the pharmaceutical companies can sell such medications at cost, with rebates and coupons for no/low-income patients, while still making plenty of profit on reasonably priced pharmaceuticals that patients do not technically require to survive.
I don’t think the average man should have to work any hours to pay for an average monthly dose of average quality anything that they require to stay alive. Perhaps I’m insane.
> Honestly don’t bother with canned O2. It is not 100% pure, which is an absolute necessity, and they don’t deliver nearly the quantity you need to knock out a cluster
They definitely don't knock out the cluster, but do seem to slightly lessen the pain in minutes. I wish triptans helped, but no luck yet with any we've tried.
Hello, fellow clusterhead! May I ask how you obtained 100% O2? Insurance won't cover it because I have no respiratory issues, and medical supply companies won't talk to me because of insurance denial, even with valid rx. In the meantime, I've been using the canned O2 from sports stores, which is expensive and seems unnecessarily wasteful.
Related article quote about a bear attack:
"Literally, as I was being eaten by a wild beast, I wasn't thinking about Jesus or my family or my son. I was thinking my insurance was not going to pay for this," she told The Independent. "I had to make this calculus as I was being eaten, 'Do I want to survive this?' Not, 'Can I survive this?' Not, 'What am I going to look like?'" [0]
In an AMA, she said that the worst part of the bear attack wasn't the bear attack, but dealing with her health insurance. [1]
I've lived in places where the "ice event" that caused the power to go out was freezing rain. That kind of ice can make trees heavy enough to lose limbs into power lines and makes roads slick enough for vehicles to crash into transformers and power poles (hence the power outages), without outdoor temperatures necessarily being cold enough to preserve frozen goods and without there being enough easily available ice outside (e.g. ~.5cm covering on all surfaces) to bring inside for stuffing the freezer.
Yes, they're commonly used as "starter" credit cards, to increase credit score. I presume they also come with the other benefits of a credit card, such as the amount of security deposit required when renting a car, as well as fraud and chargeback liabilities and timelines.
I am not the commenter to whom you’re replying. But for what it’s worth, I regularly “actually encounter[]” homeless people, and personally interact with at least a few of them multiple times per week. My image of them is neither abstract nor idealistic. I agree with what deepspace wrote.
Not the user who made the original report, but I had the same problem. I got stuck on the second mine because the tutorial textbox covered that shape and so I couldn’t flag the mine.
Every SD-accepting phone I’ve had has had a cap on the capacity card it would accept. Not sure whether that’s the norm or if I didn’t buy the right phones.
Not the person you asked, but yes. My not-logged-in recommendations are scarily great. They’re excellent (better than my logged-in recommendations, as of my last check) on the non-incognito browser on one machine, and merely very good on the incognito browser on the other machine.
I can't give money, but I have a stack of notecards and some stamps. I'll happily send a silly joke and happy holiday wishes to anyone who emails their address (email in profile). No promises, but if there's anything in particular you like (e.g. snow, the ocean, bears), let me know and I'll see if I have a card or joke to match.
I’ve never seen a shop that will let anyone stay in the vehicle while it was being worked on, even for something so simple as an oil change. Where did you find one?
As someone with anxiety, I don’t think the interpretation/conclusion is necessarily that “I’m a victim.” For me, it’s more the realization that I’m having a reasonable reaction to my surroundings and circumstances, meaning the problem isn’t “I’m broken” but rather, “These thoughts/patterns/habits are sub-optimal and unhelpful.” It was a great weight off of my shoulders to see that the problem wasn’t me, myself, alone. That realization helped me find the right things to work on and change to improve my personal experience of reality (a work in progress) and to hopefully also improve reality for others.
