It’s really amazing. Entertaining too.

Accurate? I don’t mean whether Biden actually said it, but could you see him saying something like this in 1988? I could…

Shucks you're of Asian descent.

Date any hot black chicks?

Bootylicious, dude.

@Doctor-Phibes

I have heard that as well. A few like Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Ritchie Blackmore have said just that many times during interviews.

LOL

That’s what she said.

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

You misspelled Biopic…

You forgot the adjective "fake."

This isn’t helping

Probably also not addressed in medical school:

Political ideology's effects on doctors and physicians.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/06/coronavirus-pandemic-conservatives-ivermectin/

Excerpt 1: “[C]onservative physicians were approximately five times more likely than their liberal and moderate colleagues to say that they would treat a hypothetical COVID-19 patient with hydroxychloroquine,” the researchers write. “ … This difference was driven in large part by agreement between liberal and moderate physicians, with conservative physicians displaying polarization that was often comparable to that of conservative laypeople.”
...
Excerpt 2: “[P]olitical ideology colors the evaluation of scientific evidence to a greater degree when it pertains to a politicized treatment,” the report reads. “After reading otherwise identical results, partisans’ responses were more polarized when the drug was identified as ivermectin relative to when it was anonymized, with participants who were more conservative reporting that the evidence was less informative, the study was less methodologically rigorous, and the authors were more likely to be biased.” The results, they add, “were not detectably different across lay and physician samples.”

In other words, partisans were more likely to dismiss research undercutting the efficacy of ivermectin when they knew the research was about ivermectin.

Well…we didn’t see that.

"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.

That's excellent. 😄

Or go for laughs.

Who wouldn't want to see John Wayne lead the charge of the Rohirrim?

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.

@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...
