  • That’s crazy. I went on a tour on this same glacier just a month ago. Wondering if I was at the same ice cave because it was very accessible, had two entrances like described, the drive and hike times are about the same. So very unnerving!

    When we were there, our guide even said to be very careful, to not talk loudly, and especially not to linger at the entrance. Because of his experience and also being trained in glacier search and rescue, we felt in good hands.

    We were only a total of 3 people. You know nature can be unpredictable, but I can’t imagine 23 people in a fast melting ice cave was ever a good idea. Iceland is most likely going to have to change the law and ban ice cave tours in the summer.



  • Tildes is a good example of a healthy community that allows for differences while encouraging good faith discussion. They police for tone instead of wrongness and it’s been working out over there. People are generally happy with the discourse.

    A lot of it is in site design, too. There aren’t downvotes, because they’re not needed. There’s a lot of proactive moderation coming from the community by using comment labels. Labels help push comments up or down, and some require you to type a reason why, which encourages thoughtfulness instead of knee-jerk hivemind reaction and pile on. The only publicly visible label is the “good” one, so it keeps things positive. The “bad” label alerts mods and has a cooldown time limit, so it’s less likely to be abused. I believe once it’s used on a comment, the person can no longer reply to it, which helps avoid negative back and forths.










  • Nah, unless there’s some type emergency going on, you don’t have to worry about anyone but your assigned patients. Management can’t write you up for not catering to patients who aren’t under your care. If management complains, first of all it’s ridiculous, and second - it’s all talk. They don’t have shit. Direct other patients to their assigned nurse.

    I don’t like being that person (“you’ll have to talk with your nurse”), but some workplaces require it due to lack of fairness and teamwork. Otherwise you get taken advantage of. So don’t feel bad.

    And if management gives you shit and starts targeting you, talk to your union. Always have a paper trail. Or if no union, look elsewhere for better bosses to work for.

    I have the Shokz OpenRun Pro. Well worth the money, no complaints. I wear them all the time at work (hazard issue to have in-ear earbuds). There’s a pause button on the side when I’m trying to give somebody my full attention, or I’ll just take them off and wear it around my neck. Lasts through a 16 hr shift.
