Make sure that you measure correctly and have someone else double check the numbers. There’s nothing worse than getting close to completing a project only to find out that there’s a gap or your cabinetry won’t fit. If you’re new to diy, start with a small, cheap project first. Not only will that give you valuable…

While there’s certainly an environmental component, electrification of combat vehicles greatly simplifies logistics. Transporting fuel to combat areas is not only challenging but exceedingly dangerous. Supply convoys are prime targets because destroying them deprives the enemy of resources, and they tend to be…

Precisely. MGH/Partners balks at increasing salaries but had no issue with CEO’s earning 2+ million per year (before bonuses and other benefits).

I’m almost certain that they didn’t even read the article, and just skipped to the comments section for some rage typing. I also wonder who these males are that the OP and others are mentioning? It’s either a fictional misadrist projection or they’ve never had a decent partner. Maybe both. 

Previous studies with hormonal agents were terminated because too many subjects experienced adverse events like depression, and irreversible reduction in sex drive/impotency, and sperm count. The NES/T trial looks promising, and the fact that it’s heading into Phase III is a very positive sign. 

Jezebel has terrible science writing. Every article seems to be based on the premise that the medical/scientific establishment hates women. That may generate clicks, but it’s a huge diservice to clinicians, researchers, and the readers themselves. You touched upon some of the many topics that need to be discussed, but…

Yup, can confirm. I was one of the “escalation” CSR’s called in to fill that role, The other rep's always referred me to me as a “supervisor” even though I wasn’t one in any way. The only time actual supervisor’s got on the call was if they were multilingual or if the customer was being extremely abusive.

Exactly. The old fucking trope of: “he couldn’t resist.”

I wonder if the temperament of the horses has anything to do with the use of Shire Horses in film and TV. I have almost no experience with horses, but my Aunt has been raising, riding, and competing with horses for nearly 60 years. She recently told me that the draft horses (rescues) are by far the sweetest and least…

Came here to write something similar. The quote from Dr. Swamy is just baffling. Complaining that studies don’t include pregnant women then criticize a study that does because you don’t like the design? What the hell. Also, amending your IND to alter the study design isn’t a trivial process. It’s not something you…

Yup. Those days seem to be long gone. I continue checking this site hoping for a return to form, but come away disappointed every time. Jezebel is a barely recognizable, CBD peddling husk of itself. Lifehacker is also in a poor way, mostly featuring vacuous slide shows. Kotaku retains vestiges of the old (pre-HS)…

Most likely, though testicular swelling is typical a symptom of Mumps. 

Based on the journal articles I’ve read so far, Covid seems to induce long term, pathological changes to vasculature. African Americans and Latinos are already at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease, and this type of disinfo is going to increase morbidity and mortality in those (vulnerable) populations. I second…

Yeah, I’m really looking forward to her thesis defense. It’ll probably be the first one in history with backup dancers and multiple wardrobe changes.

Nipah isn’t a concern unless you have a habit of handling (very specific species of ) bats + guano or caving in the tropics. If you must, Influenza is a far more worrisome virus with an average death rate of ~30-50k per year. Nipah may have a high fatality rate, but you can’t die from it if you are never exposed to…

Nobody should go into to Medicine to make money. It’s a terrible idea. Their time would be better spent pursuing a career in finance or software development.

Yes sadly. Upstate New York always leaned more conservative, and it’s been getting redder in many areas as educated, young, skilled workers move to urban areas for jobs. That particular part of NYS has always been fairly conservative. Most healthcare positions don’t require in depth basic science training. Even though…

Counterpoint: OANN, Fox News, and NewsMax.

Wish I had two stars to give. One for “unmellanated” and other for your handle. I wish that deadly diseases only impacted anti-vaxxers, but alas, they tend to spread suffering to innocents. 

Starred for “Moby Dickless”, the white whale with serious compensation issues.
