So long good times, bad times are ready to rock and roll. These black dogs spin so much BS it left OP dazed and confused

I’ve been on the internet for a long time and I’d never seen that one. You’re doing God’s work.

And his lack of any sort of moral compass beyond “money”

Candlesticks in the dark, visions of bodies being burned

That’s all well and good, but are you really suggesting that trans people who are fearing for their lives should stay put to help the electoral college issues four years from now?

Yes, because they’ve been told people are having fun and also being woke at the same time, and they can’t let that happen.

Edit: I 100% agree with and respect your “Bioware has always been woke” comment, and I appreciate you bringing that up

That makes more sense than Big 5

I do love the feeling of disorientation I got from the first book. The whole thing felt like I was in a fever dream and I was never sure if I was losing my mind or it was the book.

Of course a big chunk of that could be the sleep deprivation that came with having 2 kids under two at the same time as reading the book.

We got in on on our house in early 2016 and the price of real estate in our area increased by 20% while we were in escrow.

Our house has more than doubled in price since then but if we had fallen out of escrow, we would not have been able to buy anything anywhere near our jobs/preferred city (and my partner and I have a combined income north of 150k/year).

Shit is crazy these days

Cheers, bud, same to you! I think the wide range of stuff we see and how quickly we can go from Bright Eyes to Hüsker Dü to Soul Glo is what makes it so fun.

Fucking Onion keeps giving them ideas; the GOP might as well start paying them as policy advisors

Add a little bit of blues and early-Sabbath-style metal, and yeah, I’d say so

it wouldn’t be too hard to do the math.

I think you severely overestimate their ability to do math.

That’s because you’re thinking of it like a particle moving a distance, but matter at that scale actually behaves more like a standing wave that only has discrete solutions.

Or at least that’s how I think about electrons and Schrodinger’s equation. I dunno, I only teach about stuff that’s as small as an electron, but it’s a useful tool for thinking about quantum numbers, so I assume it applies to smaller matter, too.

The one with the Kriegaffe I made from a comic scan, but the rest I’ve found online. From what I can tell, they seem to be a mix of cover art and promo art, some of which were originally meant to be wallpapers and some repurposed.

I don’t know that you’re wrong, because those MD/PhD programs are exceptionally demanding (but are a good way to avoid med school debt for some). It’s more that even for pure MD’s, research is a very, very different career path than practicing physician. I think researchers still have to go through residency, but after that they’re mostly designing and arranging clinical trials, writing grants, interacting with related university departments, etc.

So, you know, research stuff rather than patient stuff.

edit: to address your actual question, I have no idea what the numbers for each path look like. A lot of those fields get so interrelated that it probably depend a lot on how you define “medical research.” Does genetics count? Genomics? Biomedical engineering, definitely, but what about the material scientists that develop the new dental polymers? It all gets pretty hazy when you drill down on specifics

Edit 2: I also suppose I should say that my experience with science research is almost entirely in public/university research from about a decade back, so current private sector research could vary a lot from my experience. I don’t think it’s that different though, given what I’ve heard from friends and coworkers.

There are medical researchers that have MD’s, but they are not practicing physicians (usually). There are MD/PhD programs that are aimed toward medical research fields (usually with the PhD being in biology or chemistry as you mentioned), and lots of biological and biomedical engineers working on certain medical fields as well (especially using stem cells and other chemical cues to regrow tissues). So yeah, biology- and physiology-adjacent sciences are where most of the actual advances are happening.

Actually practicing medicine is basically like being a mechanic that specializes in keeping one particularly poorly designed piece of equipment running.

I’m aware of and support her current work and I agree that she’s much smarter than her public persona would lead people to believe. However, she still comes from a place of unbelievable privilege and telling people to “stop being desperate” is incredibly tone deaf, IMO.

Two things can be true at the same time.
