So true! Pleasantly shocked when I heard Take Me Home playing.

Omg stop thinking only about patients. Other people might walk down that hallway, you never know. Either on purpose or by accident they my find themselves there.

It’s for anyone who’s visually impaired to know what room they’d be entering, so they can keep going down the hall. Signs aren’t just for those who will enter the room.

This tiny fix solves a problem you never realized you had, and once you see it, it makes perfect sense.

Steve’s a great guy but honestly not a great color commentator. No emotion ever. Same tone of voice whether it’s an offside call or an amazing save or a game winning goal. Was hoping for someone a bit more into the game.

I use perform() instead of call() but tbh tend to avoid the command-delegation pattern (or whatever it's called these days) altogether. Sometimes it makes sense (i.e rack) but devs seem to use it for situations that don't really need that kind of pattern.
