    Pregnancy Thread

    Ultrasounds taken 8-12 weeks are more accurate than the detailed ones in 2nd trimester. All babies tend to grow at the same rate in the first trimester but then they may diverge.

    DOTA 2

    I think matchmaking got exceptionally broken recently. I'm something like 3-12 in my last 15 games and looking through them, nearly all of them were complete facerolls.

    DOTA 2

    Another matchmaking wonder. Just got into a game with a batrider that didn't know what stacking/pulling creeps was while going against a trilane that was competent enough to pool last hits and get early arcane boots and just steamroll the game. Why is this shit so awful?

    What happened to AA? And both funnik and kuroky play higher positions so not sure how they'll fit into the team. Why couldn't xboct retire instead??

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Exactly. If you're for example trying to gear out a barb AND a wizard then rolling +vitaily amulets gives you the best chances of getting a dual stat useful amulet.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I think making of +vitality gear is a better gamble if you're looking to equip more than 1 character. That way any other stat that you get is useful whereas if you craf int gear and get +dex then it's kind of useless.

    DOTA 2

    Most people in a low bracket don't have the awareness to tp to a tower to thwart and turn around a gank. This is a fact. Most baddies have tunnel vision during laning phase and then bitch that no one called "missing".Contrary to what you believe it takes a lot of map awareness to pull those...

    Good ones are so expensive =/ I have a 150int/150vit/66allresis one and I wonder how big of a boost a 40%cd one would be?

    DOTA 2

    I have no idea what your point even is other than maybe that you are bad? If you "don't know what a typical mid hero" is, then you fall into the category of the bads I get matched in after a string of lossess. I'm not expecting intricate smoke ganks at non-pro/non-organized games but if a...

    DOTA 2

    That's one side of the argument but we know it isn't true. A GOOD player in his own bracket may be a bit rusty with a different role/hero but they're not going to make stupid decisions that make him look like he just picked up the game. But this happens all the time. You win a few games in a row...

    But you still get a boost to Mf and a chance for extra item.

    What can I realistically get for these? The AH is inflated and even putting it at less than half of whats there isn't selling.

    Flu Outbreak

    So you're not a conspiracy guy, but coincidentally catching the flu after 2 flu vaccines has prompted you to never get the flu shot again. You breathe through your mouth and drool, right?

    What determines the sturdiness of WDs pets? It's apparent that weapon damage buffs their damage but makes them stronger than a wet paper bag?

    DOTA 2

    That's a generalization and simply isn't true in the vast majority of games. You can easily get an idea when your team is simply outclassed and outskilled versus the team giving up.

    Birth Control

    IUD is the best and what I recommend to all my patients. OCP/nuvaring the next best thing, especially if they want clearer skin. But even then I'd still recommend they get an IUD and use a lower estrogen pill like Alesse (which is a gimmicky piece of shit as far as birth control goes). Depo...

    I'm just getting back into this as a barb. I have both the bull kathos swords. What's the best duel wield spec right now? Also I got a key from a named one but what am I supposed to do with it? And how do I change he mp levels?

    Dexter

    I didn't really like the season finale. Lacunta should have been fired/jailed/investigated and gone out that way and the ending should have been a similar scene between Hannah/dex/deb with Deb shooting Hannah.

    Flu Outbreak

    I wasn't aware that people pick whether they want the flu or not, like they pick whether they wish to vote or not. Oh wait, you are retarded.

    Flu Outbreak

    Take 100 35year old white men with no medical conditions and are otherwise identical, that contracted the flu: 64 of them did not get the flu shot. 36 did. Is the vaccine working?

    Flu Outbreak

    It's probably a lot simpler than that. Take the proportion of immunized people that contracted the flu and compare to a similar subset of people that got the flu but weren't immunized.

    Flu Outbreak

    Or maybe you did just have a flu which predisposed you to pneumonia (I.e. what normally happens and your doctor was correct and you are dumber than you look).

    Flu Outbreak

    Well you have 10 days or so to start treatment so it'd depend on when symptoms began. Unless the guy is approaching close to 10days I wouldn't treat. Shitty irresponsible parents aren't a good reason to fuck over the next generation with antibiotic resistant bugs.

    Flu Outbreak

    Don't you have guidelines that save your ass? In Canada, we are only obligated to empirically treat if it without a doubt looks like GAS throat (ie. no cough, exudates, lymphadenopathy, fever) AND there may be an issue with follow-up or testing in a remote community. Even with those 4 cardinal...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The problem with farming resist gear wasn't the farming but the fact is that you farmed it for a specific fight and never used it again. The shitty gear you used for ragnaros you never used in any other fight. The should have added the resist stats on normal progression gear so that you don't...

    Flu Outbreak

    The internet is basically a problem for medicine. It gives people access to information, but it gives them no tools to understand and critically analyze that information. It's made primary care a huge time-consuming pain in the ass. And really a threat to public health. I've had women at 36...

    Flu Outbreak

    You should probably be careful about posting stuff from uptodate like that. I know that they allow you to e-mail an article to a 3rd party but I'm not sure what their stance is on copy pasting on an open message board. Edit: You guys should probably just stop arguing with people about...

    If the vaccine is total shit and has no effect than why do so many countries around the world supply the vaccinefree of chargeto anyone that wants? Put on the tinfoil hat before you answer that.

    Flu Outbreak

    Everyone has an elderly grandma/grandpa and a young nephew/niece/cousin. If you aren't getting it for yourself, get the flu shot for them.

    High Calorie Meals?

    Have her doctor switch risperidone to quietapine; it causes more weight gain. Maybe add a low dose of mirtazapine to help her gain even more weight and help with sleep. Other than that, nuts and peanut butter is her best bet but kind of hard to do that if she's on a feedine tube. See if she...

    Chronic Pain

    Lol. I love the internet. Not to be technical, but trigeminal neuralgia is hemifacial pain and not all TN is due to notable nerve compression. In any case, it's good that you've been put in touch with a neurologist and that you're getting an MRI. Making sure that you don't have plagues in...

    Chronic Pain

    It changed because the OP said his symptoms changed. Pain in temple around the eye usually suggests cluster H/A while burning/shocking/tingling pain in the cheek suggest trigeminal neuralgia. And if the OP gets weakness in limbs or loss of sensation somewhere and the GP diagnoses him/her with...

    Do you have health insurance?

    It's also expensive because most people that do access medical services do so through health insurance so providers mark up things in relation to however much the insurance companies are willing to pay. We have a taste of this in Canada through dental services because those are not covered. My...

    Do you have health insurance?

    It's really funny that the copay for a clinic visit is 25$ when in Canada a GP generally bills the government 30-35$ for the visit. Shows how inflated healthcare costs in USA are.
