04:16:25 <Kuschelpony> hmmm, would it be possible to build a lowpass with finite impulse response from a finite number of lumped elements?
04:16:52 <Kuschelpony> i have an intuitive idea but not the math
04:22:29 <K> Would you like to see what Claude comes up with on this question, Kuschelpony ?
04:23:39 <Kuschelpony> uhm, i amnot sure if i want
04:24:43 <K> without asking it, my immediate (but limited) intuition whispers to me that it is unlikely, unless some concessions are made

07:05:30 <MrMobodies> Why is it, she had better access to it's system, than the patients trying to get help.
07:06:04 <MrMobodies> "The Bracknell fraud therefore shows how internal abuse can extend beyond a single employee."
07:07:09 <MrMobodies> Yes the untrained, iexperienced possibly underpaid receptionist that she put there to work abusing the patients trying to get an appointment... that's a joke.

10:20:40 <MrMobodies> "Richard Kohnstamm Ltd (best known as Riko)" I'd imagine that'd be named after the sh*t battery chargers (the timed ones) they were selling in the late 1990's that were slow and use to cook the batteries.

10:21:07 <MrMobodies> Yep Riko
10:21:48 <MrMobodies> I purchased one of those not knowing better over a plugin in one that took 24 hours to charge but that one though fast use to wear the batteries
10:23:18 <MrMobodies> the toy cars I use to get from them use to break so easily
10:24:22 <MrMobodies> When Radioshack was closing I picked up one on sale and that lasted years
10:24:55 <MrMobodies> but I noticed all the good stuff selling there seemed significantly higher than other places
10:25:06 <MrMobodies> which is when I stopped going

14:05:14 <MrMobodies> Got a GOOD CQC rating despite the common complaints in there

14:06:32 <MrMobodies> So that's where that money has gone (in the administration and untrained receptions setup by them) when it should have gone into the frontline.
14:07:04 <MrMobodies> Couldn't fine her Linkedin profile to find what what she was also responsible for.

14:09:29 <MrMobodies> Maybe they should put "THE DOCTOR" back in charge of the entire practice like they use too.
14:10:02 <MrMobodies> My previous family doctor didn't need people like that on their payroll.
14:10:12 <MrMobodies> they were soley in control and responsible
14:12:41 <MrMobodies> and then sack "the manager for this", "the manager for that", "the physicans" and all these other useless titles that are likely medically trained or experienced where all they seem to dp is gatekeep access to care and gp's.
14:12:59 <MrMobodies> ooops *unlikely trained
14:15:28 <MrMobodies> I am pretty annoyed how these people also seem protected by the Emergency Workers (Offences) act when they are not technically emergency workers with sick patients being jailed when staff like those refuse care, deny the repeat prescriptions and provoke them with their behaviour.
14:16:40 <MrMobodies> "An Act to make provision about offences when perpetrated against emergency workers, and persons assisting such workers"... yep that covers the receptions and useless administration staff.

23:12:24 <MrMobodies> A bit surprised by that
23:13:07 <MrMobodies> Microsoft ENCOUAGING people to own things like the rights to use it perpetualy.
23:16:28 <MrMobodies> Maybe that could be a good model. If someone liked a certain build of Office 365 thay they have installed, they can buy it (the rights to use it without activation checks every month) and they just rename 365 to the year and offer options to disable feature updates.
