FOB Chinese aren't representative of Asians at large. Who invented do-ri-fu-to after all*?
* the answer is Stoney, when he did 400 whp powerslides in his old Forester. He's secretly Asian.
I lived in SF for years. Driving in a city is VERY different than in the burbs. That being said, driving like a ibtch anywhere, makes you an a$$hole.
275 wph. It's the M that's pushing 400whp, but closer to 375.
Its not even the Chinese folk. Go South East more...
Huh. I can only go from my experience in the Seattle-Vancouver-Beijing axis.
I meant South West, towards India.Huh. I can only go from my experience in the Seattle-Vancouver-Beijing axis.
funny, my boss said the same thing this morning. of course, she doesn't have kids, in daycare. I think it's linked to lack of sleep. immune system is depressed.
maybe. I shall test this hypothesis tonight. is it for me or the wee one?
Yesterday's kill is cut and packed... Need to get some sausage casing and make some brats, some summer sausage, and some breakfast sausage now
Yes.
FTFY
I do.
Came home yesterday. We are all too sunburned to do anything fun down in Mexico, and flights were wide open so we said fuck it and came home. I'm by far the worst burned because #ginger. 2nd degree burn across both my shoulders and upper back. In my entire soulless history of sunburns, this is the worst. Stepping off the plane in the rain and 40 degree temps was like an ice pack for my entire upper body. It was glorious.
saw the pictures. brutal.

i'm thinking its time the ///Monkey collective pooled some money and bought you a few sun shirts.
My problem with driving in Toronto is the general Fuck off attitude everyone has towards each other. Not as bad as Boston or Brooklyn. General disdain for traffic control devices and a wholesale disregard for Physics. Cars are no match for trolleys and stupid crap like that. Downtown Vans just stop in front of you to discharge passengers and you can do nothing but wait. Folks in the Suburbs are way to aggressive for the environs. I avoid driving near most schools because parents picking up Kids lose there minds for some reason. When I leave TO I feel like a weight has been lifted off me as I pass Burlington. Like passing Framingham on the mass pike...I meant South West, towards India.
Dude. SPF 60. Paste yourself every hour. None of that spray on isht.

Australians?
What kills me, is that I really went out of my way to make sure I was putting that stupid sun screen on regularly. I put it on at least 3 times during the day. Even when I lived on the central coast and was in the water all the damn time, I never used that much sun screen, and I never wore a shirt.
I just might.

This one will be much more comprehensible than the MR angiography one.
Legend for the peanut gallery:- Incidentaloma is radiologist slang for incidental findings
- IRB is institutional review board
- NLST is National Lung Screening Trial
- Lung-RADS is a reporting system for lung cancer screening CTs that stratifies risk and assigns followup based off of the stratum
- PACS is the computer system we use to read and store images
- Primordial is another program that does query of reports among many other things
- EPIC is our electronic medical record that has notes and results of all kinds
- Fleischner is a society that publishes consensus recommendations for lung nodule followup
- slide 9 is visually confusing, I admit, but I don't know how to make it clearer: each nodule is on y-axis, and if the radiologist recommended followup there's an orange bar; if the application/guidelines recommended followup a blue bar; grey if followup was actually performed. The point of this slide is that the subsets of nodules that each group called out are disjoint
- key point in slide 10 is that Fleischner, supposedly for the general populace, recommends followup more often than NLST guidelines, which by definition of NLST inclusion criteria are for the highest risk subgroup (this means Fleischner is too aggressive)
- slide 11 is notable because the application always says "follow this" or "ignore this", as opposed to radiologists who often say nothing either way, which is not useful in my opinion
I don't know the reference...
I think that piece of music was used in "The Omen"... that right there is Damien.
Ah. I know it from one of the old school mtb movies. Also, I don't watch scary movies. Too much of a ibtch.
When crossing I495, do you slow down and go 5-10mph below the speed limit, preferably in the left lane, to match the driving habits of the locals?
Yummy.
Oh herrow...
You know what they say about forgiveness vs. permission.
how about a Butler and a umbrella....
