  • It’s not specifically “the” bar, but the original comment was saying they didn’t see how Tesla would even be considered, and I felt this feature is one reason why someone may still consider a Tesla.

    For me, my dash cameras have come in handy when my vehicle was running, but the hardwire mode has not been able to handle what I wanted it to. I want my next vehicle (whenever that may be) to be an improvement over what I already have. I have personally had my vehicles damaged more than once whilst it was parked, and I have always parked well. Sentry mode would have been very bloody useful to have the responsible parties pay up. Instead, I was left with a damaged car, which was notably rather heartbreaking when one incident occurred within the first month of ownership.

    EDIT: My motorcycle was hit and if I hadn’t had known, I wouldn’t have been aware enough to take it to the shop to be inspected in case any of the internals had been damaged. Sometimes damage can be internal and without an alert, you would be putting yourself in danger.





  • On the whole, they’re used to East Asian health professionals, and some even deliberately seek East Asian doctors.

    They do NOT like South East Asian HCWs, but will tolerate it. There are regular requests in community groups for an ‘Australian’ doctor, and whilst there is plenty of pushback from commenters about what makes a doctor Australian, they tend to say they have issues with the accent (not overly unwarranted, I have an Australian accent but can speak fast, and this is probably the most common feedback I get).

    There are a bigoted few who will actually refuse to see Aboriginal clinicians.






  • Yeah I’m in dental myself (another country), and when anti-fluoride patients come in, we generally sassily remark that we thank them for keeping us in business. Bit of dark humour to see the silver lining in things, I guess?

    There have certainly been dental clinics going out of business in the last few years, something quite unheard of - unlike other ‘new businesses’, the success rate of opening a new dental clinic was normally guaranteed (unlike say a new cafe).

    If the general population want to remove one of the best public health initiatives, then so be it. We’ll make hay while the sun shines.
