I forget the name of the project or institution and I’m not sure if the book covers this. Either in the late 19th or early 20th century a set of libraries/archives were created that you could call on the phone, theoretically from anywhere in the world. You could ask the staff questions and they had a sort of database of punch cards they could use to find the information you wanted.

Very cool. Are you meant to be piloting a Mark II or is it another fighter? It seems like the cockpit is far more exposed than what I imagine being in a Mark II to feel like. It’s almost like you’re on a surfski or canoe in space.

Nah I have no beef with the mods. I crossposted there at someone else’s suggestion and when it was removed I was curious so I decided to ask Lemmy. I imagine modding a comm that big is hard work.

Yeah, for being ‘Not onion-y’. Oh well.

Sorry for the late reply. There is a bit of a federation delay between aussie.zone and lemmy.world. It’s getting better as it used to take a week for comments to federate, now it’s just a few days.

OK so in the first or second season it’s revealed that Carter comes from a wealthy family, there’s a reference to someone being worth $170 million or something like that. At some point Carter makes it clear he’s not proud of his families wealth as it came from profiting of some disadvantaged group during the Depression or something. He wants nothing to do with the family’s foundation that does a lot of philanthropic stuff I guess.

Then a nurse in the ER is looking for funding to open some clinic in season two or three maybe and Carter is like ‘ask my grandmother’ so we get to meet Carter’s nanna who runs everything and wants him to step up and run things after her and he’s like nah I just wanna be a doctor. Anyway Carter’s nanna funds the clinic. Also she lives in a building very similar to depictions of Wayne Manor.

So I have binged like 12 seasons so far, it’s on in the background when I’m working from home, doing house chores etc. So I don’t remember everything about Carter’s wealth.

Skip some years into the future and there is an odd 'The Breakfast Club" type episode and it’s revealed that Carter fucked the maid when he was 11 (gross) oh and also he doesn’t really know how stinking rich his family is but it’s like billions. So we have this very successful show in the 90s and early 2000s and basically the main character is completely unreal compared to some of the other characters, but somehow it works I guess.

At some point Carter takes over managing the foundation.and basically is like ‘this foundation is going to do all this good progressive stuff now and if you don’t like it tuff titties’. I don’t actually remember too much about this part. Anyway all this is happening while he still has a regular day job as a doctor at a hospital.

Skip a year or so further and after suffering a terrible heartbreak (loss of baby) Carter is agreeing to fund a new wing of the hospital he works at (a teaching hospital no less). The cost is $150 million but Carter’s not happy about doing deals with pharma (there are a few episodes about Big Pharma and its influence of the healthcare system) to pay for construction or something so he’s like ‘our family foundation will also pay for that so long as I can name it after my deceased baby’. Then he basically gets promoted to a tenure position based on his wealth but that’s not really mentioned again because he leaves town not long after.

There’s stuff I missed. Also the show is funnier then I remember when it first aired. Anyway, Carter is finally gone. He and his partner have gone back to Africa to do medicine there (that’s where they met).

So is the dog dancing or is it a health issue?

Neat. Thanks. It must be unusual though. That publication seems to have only used it in the title because it’s part of a quote that is the basis for the article. They don’t use that phrasing anywhere else except in a longer quote in the body. Elsewhere they use more common phrasing like ‘go private’.

Yeah that’s what I meant 👍

I’ve not heard the term privatisation used in this way. This company is already privately owned, just not by a single individual or entity. That’s not the same thing as being publicly owned, at least here in Australia it’s not.

Do you have a source for this? I’ve only seen news flashes about clashes with the SNA.

Surely this is not an uncommon shower thought for anyone who has watched the first dozen seasons of the show.

Tacoma.

It’s all good. Downvotes are harmless.

It’s interesting but I didn’t watch and share this as a serious review. I posted it for the couple of chuckles I got out of ‘The power of sudo compels you’ and ‘God only has ten commands’. Sam’s a funny guy.

Sounds good.
