The percentage of casualties that go back into active service depends not only on medical skill, support systems and casevac, but also very strongly on how desperate a country is.

This is VERY common. Keeping people locked up means you have to employ other people to keep an eye on them, maintain a facility, feed and clothe the people, etc etc. Not only are you depriving society of their value, you're depriving society of everyone else's value too.

Also, even if her degree WAS medical, there's a lot of fields, and cancer is usually not something you can just see without a couple of expensive machines.

Hell, I'm of doctor of chemistry, doesn't mean I know shit about, oh say, making paint.

You can just let the free market solve this problem for you. It doesn't happen often, but it's actually true here.

It's super fucking easy too: place the burden of delivery on the seller/shipper, and presto, suddenly paying a little more for non-shit delivery becomes worth it. Or they keep trying till they get it right.

Hiding read posts? (self.boostforlemmy)
 

There are a whole bunch of options to mark posts as read, but as of yet, I can't seem to find an option to actually hide to posts.

Am I missing something, or does marking a post just grey it out?
