    I don’t find many of those listed to really be fake. Take the extreme home makeover controversy. A property makeover adds what? $50K to the property value? Maybe $100,000? That’s $500 to $1,000 more in taxes per year. Hardly a back breaker. Far more likely? The financial difficulties and possible mismanagement that landed you in that situation to begin with doesn’t disappear just because your house is nicer. Far more plausible that they decided to cash in on the increase in value or still needed to sell because of their financial choices…

    @George-K said in I, for one, welcome our new robot radiologists: @Jolly said in I, for one, welcome our new robot radiologists: his job as a pathologist was to give the clinician an answer True story: We were in the middle of a craniotomy for tumor, and the Stan, the neurosurgeon sent a frozen specimen down to pathology. 20 minutes later, "Hi, this is Dr. H in pathology. We have all looked at this specimen, and we think it's a meningioma." Stan was an outspoken kind of guy. "What the FUCK? You ALL looked at it and you THINK it's a meningioma? It's not that. It's in middle of this guy's brain. It's either an astrocytoma or a GBM!" Dr. H: "Well, it could be that." Not exactly confidence-inspiring. Dr. Tom was in partnership with Dr. Joe. Dr. Tom was extremely well-liked, but he would drive you nuts. Also white-haired, but with metal rim half-glasses and that accent...You have to live down here to know it...That accent bespeaks old money and extremely well educated. Dr. Tom graduated from Vanderbilt Medical School after completing his bachelor's degrees in Zoology and Fine Art. He was an accomplished sculpturer and painter. He taught at Vanderbilt Medical School after a brief foray into the private world. As his family became larger and older, he moved back home to the family's plantation and went into private practice with Dr. Joe and another path. I don't know if I have ever heard him make a definitive diagnosis. It was always "suggests", "appears like", "is consistent with", etc. Absolutely maddening...

    I think it only requires constant speed to sound right, rather than a particular speed. The absolute pitch probably depends on the tires, but the relative pitches will sound ok as long as the speed is constant. That person seemed to slow down in the middle.

    Or go for laughs. Who wouldn't want to see John Wayne lead the charge of the Rohirrim?

    "He still hasn’t identified the source code, the proverbial ghost in the machine, buried deep in the algorithmic code; Sounds legit. I suppose it all depends on whether Case and Molly Millions were able to steal the source code from Twitter, or if Twitter had already merged with Neuromancer before they shut it down.

    No "Yellowstone" is reason enough to cancel the service, simply because I'd miss Kelly Reilly's bitchiness.
