I don't know how you've seen nobody in the world that has cut their fingers or their hand while using a knife. There are millions of people who use dull knives because they believe they're safer. Just because you haven't hurt yourself yet doesn't mean you're not introducing unnecessary risk. I've helped two or three people learn how to cook, and all of them have come millimeters from slicing the tips of their fingers off at one point or another by pressing down on a knife with their fingers curled under the tip. I keep my knives deadly sharp, so a slip is a lost finger. You may not even realize you've cut yourself. As long as you're using them properly, they're safer.

Sure, you may go a decade or two with unsafe knife practices and be totally fine. Survivorship bias is a hell of a drug, though.

I trust him to be competent in things he's knowledgeable on, but for things he's rarely done I'll offer assistance if I know a bit more, and I expect the same from him. There's zero shame in not knowing how to do something. I WANT to be corrected when I'm wrong or being unsafe. I don't understand how anyone could want anything else.

I try not to take over, just note how certain ways of doing things introduce unnecessary risk. If someone just copied something, they may take unsafe shortcuts later if they don't know why it's done a certain way

Absolutely agreed. Work gets done faster with the correct processes. If I don't know what to do when I have issues, I have to pester multiple people until I get to the right person that can handle it. If I knew exactly where to go and what to do, I might not even need that person in the first place.

But also he's never cooked before, so genuinely doesn't know how to not be unsafe doing certain things. For example, he was using the tip of the blade to cut things with his fingers splayed out everywhichway. Sorry but I'm going to show him how to be safe. It's difficult to let him go through "trial and error" when "error" means a trip to the er

That's... Not at all true. There has been a child tax credit for decades. EV credits have existed for quite some time.

And yeah, other countries have some, but iirc they do it because they already track everything for VAT purposes, so it's just an extension of that.

I'm working on teaching the significant how to cook... It's difficult at times because he thinks I'm being overbearing at times when, no, if you do it that way you risk slicing your fingers off. Please, you worry me

You're less likely to get a transplant if you're more likely to ruin it based on your lifestyle.

The vaccine underwent the exact same rigorous testing that literally every other vaccine or medication gets. The only difference is that COVID vaccines were given a free pass to the front of the line at each step necessary. As well, due to them having a much shorter timeline and higher competition, it was economical to run multiple tests in parallel that would normally have been done in series.

It wasn't "rushed" as in sloppy, it was "rushed" in that it was given priority in the various governmental queues.

There's a waiter, so I assume you could just tell them you don't have a phone for it

Mine cost me 4k a dose and they gave me two. Absolutely remarkable.
