Reply to Why does tapping on the edge of a stuck jar lid loosen it and make it easier to open? by kisar1
Jars are often sealed with a partial vacuum inside. Tapping can release this vacuum (creating microscopic channels for air to equalise the pressure) thus reducing the friction from the lid being pushed against the body of the jar

Your description sounds like the only effect would be first higher then lower than normal pressure. Read on what happens to divers who go down or up too much too fast. It would be the same I guess.

At one of the hospitals I cover, we’re down to one urologist who takes all the calls. Because the other two left and there aren’t any others to help.

Within the solar system, besides Earth, Mars and Venus.
Outside of the solar system, GLIESE 667CC and KEPLER-22B. There are a fair number of other contenders but we just don't know...yet.

Paragraphs two, three and four are pretty much explanatory for each other.

Great. Pay them more, and be sure to pass along some to the attendings that have final say in all decisions and bear all the liability. Don't train them less.

Yes withy he exception of breaks. With breaks, even with the handovers, there is an increase in positivity of outcomes.

All of that is true, except they’re not enough of us. Most sub-subspecialists are the only ones at a given institution. The decades of training and dedication is not something that everyone can (or wants) to do. Laws aren’t really helpful here, as obviously you’re not going to let a patient suffer just because there is no one else to handoff too. Of course, that means in the end the physician and their family suffer, but unfortunately that comes with the territory. Mostly people need to understand and have respect and patience for their doctors.

Good thing that, in 2015, over 25% of hospitals received more than $180k in government funding for each resident they trained. https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/practices/study-suggests-medicare-overpaying-1-28b-annually-to-support-residency-programs

Why haven't economics "solved" the economy? Why do we still have recessions and bubbles? Is it even possible to completely prevent unwanted financial effects? Will there always be winners and losers in the economy?

It can cost upwards of $180k per year to train a resident in the US. Stop with the BS about how much revenue they bring in... they don't, and they're a liability.
When I worked at an academic center my residents were often out the door on non-call days hours before I finished. And you spend a ton of time teaching, looking for and catching errors, and explaining to angry family members why what the PGY1 said on pre-rounds was incorrect. Residents don't bring more quality of life to attending, but quite the opposite. Academic attendings are rewarded by being paid less than their private practice colleagues.

Specifically for Social Anthropology, I'd recommend "Watching the English" by Kate Fox - written by a social anthropologist who's the daughter of a social anthropologist talking about social anthropology - admittedly, in the context of the English so in that sense narrow, but covers the concepts of social anthropology very well.

I think, usually the criterion is mutual understandability, but there are exceptions like chinese, where some linguists argue, the dialects should be considered different languages, because people from different provinces can't understand each other, but they are still considered dialects because of the political implications.
