You KNOW this is going to get to him.

We voluntarily interact with less sophisticated species for no reasons other than curiosity or amusement. Why wouldn’t aliens?

Comcast plant! Don’t troll me!

It’s not as complex as it looks. The white stuff is air flow interaction or wash... basically what you would expect from a fan or helicopter. The blue lines are low-pressure zones and the slashes of red that you see near the tips and along the chassis are high-pressure zones.

Can we get some explanation of the visualization? I mean it is visually interesting, but I’m not sure how to interpret the gray backwash, the blue contrails coming from the tips, or the red/blue kaleidoscoping that is happening near the body of the craft.

I definitely believe it. We thought my daughter had strep throat so I took her to the doctor. He said he didn’t think it was but started writing the antibiotics prescription and I was like “Is that necessary?” He told me that most people get mad if he doesn’t prescribe them so he’s gotten used to just writing the…

Placebocillin needs to be a thing for those dips.

This is what I tell my patients with ambulatory respiratory tract infections:

Yeah, some people don’t get antibiotics aren’t for every little thing. I’m on a college campus and even refused an order for antibiotics because I knew it was over kill. So doctors are also a bit quick to the draw.

Easy access to powerful antibiotics without oversight. You can buy cipro over the counter. So you might have someone get a cold, take a few pills a day for a week, doing nothing for the cold virus, which has now cleared up on its own. However, any bacteria (like that which is picked up from poor sanitation) has now…

My sister in law was a Doctor and works in family medicine.

Good thing I just picked up some antibiotics FUCKING TODAY.

Maybe it’s you who’s not pushing the boundaries? With the right attitude you can improve even the most boring jobs.

Well no.

Completely agree.

Tim Cook is NOT an innovator. He’s essentially a bean counter. A damn good one, too! Tim needs to realize that he’s not the world-changing leader that Apple needs, and begin the process of finding a successor. And fast! It’s depressing how they’ve settled into becoming the old Microsoft we all…

And making the products completely un servicable.. glued in batteries, non-upgradable ram and storage.. a lot of completly stupid design decisions taking place at apple..

What’s going on? I didn’t even read the fucking article but I’ll tell you what’s going on.

Man, it is tough to watch Tim Cook run Apple into the ground. I was a fanboy when it was stupid to be one in the 90s, but I just can’t stomach them pivoting away from operating system innovation to bland, iterative mediocrity. I can’t remember the last time I was genuinely excited about a new Apple project.

Guys probably got tired of not padding their resumes by only working on boring incremental iterations of the same technologies, and instead decided to start doing interesting shit?
