mediaphage posted:lol from bloomberg lmao depending on what source you look at, they estimate the US had anywhere from 2.9 to 2.5 hospital beds per 1,000 people in 2017-18ish. Canada's equivalent figure is 2.5. Those are both comparable to countries like Lebanon (2.7) or Libya (3.2) and lag way behind evil socialist countries like China (4.3) and Cuba (5.3), or rich capitalist states that haven't finished eviscerating their public services yet, like France (5.9), Austria (7.3), Germany (8.0), or Japan (13.0).

If we were neighbours with someone like Germany, we'd be embarrassed every day.

It's almost like when you make a significant amount of the population unable to access healthcare, those who can see a smaller line! And I can't remember the details, but if I'm not mistaken our wait times aren't even that much worse, it's just private companies paying news outlets to constantly tell us that they're so bad here.

infernal machines posted:did they compare the per-capita deaths during the pandemic too? Yes, there is a graph about 3/4 into the article. It is much further down the page than anyone who clicked to read the headline to justify why they shouldnt feel bad for opposing Medicare for All would ever read.

The team Johnston put together to help him hop the border seemed just as savvy with the outdoors as he was: One even suggested he use the stars to navigate his way during a night that was, as LaJune said, totally cloud-covered.

Even apple says the built in compass can be thrown off by the magnets in earpods. e: quote:Important: The accuracy of the compass can be affected by magnetic or environmental interference; even the magnets in the iPhone EarPods can cause a deviation. Use the digital compass only for basic navigation assistance. Dont rely on it to determine precise location, proximity, distance, or direction.

lol @ bringing your cell phone with you while you're on the run. also, using an app in a life threatening situationpokeyman posted:the gently caress would the phone's compass app need cell service for? doesn't it use a magnetometer? he may have been trying to use a mapping app and just failed to get an agps lock and had no map data. i have a sneaking suspicion he may not have been able to orient himself without like turn by turn directions

then an area without cell service should work even better due to less interference

it amazes me how bad people are with the cardinal directions. just about the only time i can't tell you which was north is if i just get off a subway in an area i've never been before, and it has a bunch of weird turns on the stairs coming up to the ground, and the sun is directly overhead. it may not be enough to get you exactly where you want, but you can't be too lost if you know north-west-east-south. Most of the places i've lived have had a geographical feature you'll run into if you go to far in the right cardinal direction. i've been hiking alone and lost the trail, and i still don't panic cause it's easy to guess where the path should be and just bushwhack till you get to it.

Okay, well southern Saskatchewan is like that, except every direction looks exactly the same and you can't walk far enough in 15 hours to come across anything.

When I did the travel team census we had to go in pairs to "find" the houses. My partner was unable to read a map or figure out directions and it was shocking she even signed up for this. Half a second of mental math "okay, it's 3pm, the sun is there, so east is this way. If I make a right hand turn at this corner, we'll be going east" and she would be blown away that I could do this. I understand getting lost inside buildings or forests, anywhere there's no sky, but outside? Even overcast it's not that hard to get a slight idea of direction.

yeah, you can't get lost in saskatchewan because there's nothing worthwhile to see, so you're not missing anything. saskatchewan is the only place where you can fall asleep at the wheel and when you wake up your car is out of gas.

I don't really see a pattern to road names and direction where I live. I think what makes something a street or road or avenue here is just the whims of whoever was building the subdivision.
