Awesome, thanks! I'll check it out.

what went into the meta analysis and why? What data might be missing from the meta review and why? Is only including double blind randomized controlled trials the best research method to answer the specific question being addressed? Was everything included together actually comparable?

The critiques / rebuttals to the masking review typcially ask these questions. This review almost falls apart after considering the answers.

If there's not enough information to form a solid conclusion, maybe they have no business analyzing it until there is. At the very least, if they're going to include partially unrelated studies, then reflect that in the title / opening statement. Don't say the analysis is of apples, then analyze fruit in general.

Yeah, accidentally got the alarm too. I think it started a countdown to actually dialing 911, but didnt make it to 0 before i cancelled it. Well, I hope thats what it was anyways. Freaked me out.

Then I started thinking about if it did that when I was actually in trouble. I mean, if i was being held at gunpoint, I don't think I want a giant alarm going off. I worry that would be a great way to get myself shot.

But, then I was ultimately thankful for it, in the circumstance at least, cause then it definitely would have dialed 911 and wouldn't have known...

I still wish there was a way to call silently though. Or, maybe there is, but im not gonna purposefully get to the point where I could find out.

Did this on a bus once. My college roommate and I went to London for spring break. We randomly got on the bus to see what the suburbs were like. We only planned on staying on for an hour or so, but fell asleep and 3 hours later ended up at the end of the line in who knows where.

Thankfully there was one last bus that was headed back to Central London, or we would have been screwed. Of course it was express, so it only took 45 mins to get back.

Pretty sure they did us a favor.

So what your saying is that one of the very tools that people used to protest, is now being used to perpetuate the very thing they were protesting?

Why am I not surprised.

This is also true, but that true across most industry in America at this point.

If pay is even across the board than why would one person want to toil in the sun vs sit on thier bum and deal with angry customers. Most pick the angry customers...

Even when the more manual labor jobs do pay well, a ton of people quit after a day or two, granted they're usually younger people who didn't realize what the job would entail.

To be fair a couple of states cracked down hard on illegal immigrants and millions of dollars of crops rotted cause there was no one there to pick em. The states reversed course pretty fast.

Americans are pretty lazy at this point, and I speak as an American.
