Those are junior doctors on dirt pay. Consultants earn up to £95k a year.

I've had 4 consultants over the past 10 years. The first, who was forward thinking and kept up with the latest in the field, helped me acquire an insulin pump. Sadly, I had to tran…

This was my experience when I was first diagnosed, too (minus closed loop - it was the early 90's). They put more effort in with children, as it's a dedicated team. Same as gestati…

Diabetes consultants can earn salaries up to £95k. Far from what junior doctors earn.

My diabetes consultant is on more than the national median income and only works part time in a low cost of living area of the UK. They are far from hard done by. Throwing money at…

I'm T1D and currently working on something like this because diabetes healthcare in the UK is effectively non-existent past diagnosis. Managing the condition isn't too difficult af…

It's hard not to prefer the ecosystem that is designed to make it as painful as it can be to switch to a competitor.

I'm all in on Linux at this point - it's been usable for a long time. My comments not really about whether it works, as we know it does, it's about how we go about getting the word…

They've been at it for years. I'd genuinely be surprised if this cracked the top 10 worst things Microsoft have done to Windows users. I think there would need to be a concerted ef…

This is actually an interesting point. There's a tendency to assume that the core of a story is the same, even if the way it's told is different. I wonder how many generations of r…

I think a lot of people aren't necessarily happy because they're highly skilled at it, but because its a default state of being. If it was purely a skill then environmental or biol…

Probably not as absurd as you think. I reckon if you dropped an American in a random town in Scotland (or even a northern English town, for that matter), they would also need to us…

This is a good assessment. 1 and 2 are why the system won't change, but I don't think they were intentionally designed with that in mind. I think it's a hang over from academia, be…

I don't want to stereotype, but obnoxiously out of touch tech CEO is quickly becoming a theme.

I think he knows but assumes that people will forget about it over time. It's worked for him in the past.

Universally rejected by all cultures is false. For example, India's penal code makes exceptions for men who rape their wives. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marital_rape_laws_by_c…

Your reasoning is speculation and your sources only really show evidence for your claim that religiosity is declining. Another correlation with birthrate is wealth. Wealthy countri…

This is almost certainly a UK specific experience. The police here have a track record of treating people who report crimes with disdain.

I doubt in office staff are more valued by companies than remote staff. If the company is moderately large then you will not be any more visible than a remote worker. I'd be surpri…

It can pick up other strategically useful info than just photographs such as radio comms and relay it back to home via satelite.

Maybe I'm making it up, but I swear I've read somewhere that the answers are shit on purpose so you to go to their paid support. Sounds Microsoftian enough to be plausible.

>At work, there's a box on an HR form where employees can choose between: disabled, not disabled, or prefer not to say I've always assumed these things were just for statistics. I …

Is it a form of expression to walk around in semen encrusted sweatpants?

I'm not going to defend the other commenters point but I find your position strange. Imagine a person covered in poo, ripped clothes leaving visible track marks from using intravei…
