    Autonomous Systems

    Maybe I didn't say it very clearly. The vast majority of deaths from car wrecks do not come from traumatic injury to a single transplantable organ. I'm not saying that it never happens, I'm sure it happens plenty often but still at the end of the day the number of organs entering the transplant...

    Completely serious. Sure you get plenty of internal damage but it's not like "oh god this guy needs a liver and he'd be just fine," it's "oh god this guy is fucked in so many ways and he's never coming back, I wonder what organs are still salvageable."

    Autonomous Systems

    I am not a trauma surgeon but I highly doubt there is a huge number of people getting in car wrecks that would otherwise survive if only for a liver/kidney/lung transplant. I'd put money on most car wreck deaths being brain/spinal cord or aorta related and we really don't transplant those.

    Path of Exile

    I'd suggest a totems, firestorm or maybe arc build for a newbie. I started with those when I first played last year and I thought they were pretty noob friendly.

    Did you actually injure your knee at any point in this story? Also, is the pain that is "getting worse...on the inside of the knee" the same as the pain you had initially or is it a new thing?

    Thread sucks without explaining whether or not the customer was right. For all I know your 3 step instructions actually did nothing.

    Everybody needs to hug this shit out and chill. I think it's pretty obvious by now that William = MIB is a massive red herring. We think we've been watching a show based on the old Westworld film but the true season 1 twist ending is going to be center of the maze Arnold = Wyatt = Will Smith...

    I have a data limit on my phone plan so I prefer not to stream when I can. Do most people have unlimited data these days? I'm still on my parent's plan since dad's work pays for it so I'm not sure how out dated our plan actually is haha

    Saw this earlier tonight, thought it was pretty good. Can't fucking believe they plan to turn this into FIVE movies though.

    WTF new medication were you on? The rule of thumb is that meds will usually lower your A1C by ~1-2 points max iirc. That's fucking amazing, was this over the course of 3 months or like a year or two? Bravo sir.

    I've been up all night so maybe I've misread something, but reading your posts the most concerning thing is that you're 5'8 and 230lbs. And by concerning I mean you (like 99% of the country) should really think about making some diet and exercise changes or you will likely end up in an ER some...

    I don't think it's about money from the parks at all. I think it's about making robots that replace politicians or armies or something bigger than just money.

    The end of Infectious Disease

    That thread was all about how we can't cure anything. This thread is about how we can cure everything, I think.

    Poll Cures: How easy are they?

    The cure for a lot of chronic diseases is not being a sedentary fatass who smokes for 20+ years unfortunately I don't think we're gonna magically make that go away with a pill, at least in our lifetimes.

    Poll Cures: How easy are they?

    I would actually take argument with the entire idea of antibiotics being the only "curative" form of medicine. If a patient who has high blood pressure and start him on an ACE and get it under control, is that not arguably a "cure"? Same for Metformin and diabetes, etc.

    Poll Cures: How easy are they?

    I am not a surgeon and am not familiar with the exact studies done, but yes I do think otherwise if you are actually making the statement that it would somehow be impossible for modern surgery to take place without the use of antibiotic prophylaxis.

    In hundreds of years humans will look back on this era and wonder why we didn't rub them down with Garlic.

    Poll Cures: How easy are they?

    My favorite part was the bit about not being able to do surgery without antibiotics. I'm not even sure what he's trying to say, I don't think anyone is claiming autoimmune disease doesn't exist lol

    I thought he was being sarcastic. To be fair CRISPR I just heard about like 4 months ago I don't know when it started becoming a thing, plus the acronym makes it sound kinda silly!

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Breast cancer and other gynecologic cancers can be related in some cases although I don't know in your wife's case. Why not just go to her doctor's office with her and ask these questions? Although I will admit a lot of doctors might downplay side effects especially if you go in asking if it...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    All I can say about this is (IMO) anyone who tries to give you an opinion that hasn't gone through it themselves or is an OB/Gyn is full of shit, FYI. IVF and fertilization clinics are such a specialized part of medicine that only the people who do it really have any experience/knowledge about it.

    Path of Exile

    That makes no sense and sounds to me like some sort of Gambler's fallacy. So instead of running a t10 and hoping for a +1 drop which is "hopeless," you're saying you should instead run t9s and hope for 3 +1 drops that you can then convert upward? Maybe the math works out that way at higher tiers...

    I bought all my maps to unlock but even if you had access to all of the maps and just chain-ran new ones that's still a huge grind through lots of maps that aren't very challenging every time the league resets, idk.

    This league was pretty fun but I can't imagine it will be nearly as fun playing through the Atlas league after league in the future. At first it seems cool that you can work your way through the Atlas by doing all T1 maps, then all T2 maps, then all T3 maps so on and so forth, but as I got...
