    Didn't really like that. The video was too destracting and I like the original song better.

    I'm surprised that they let this progress to this extent. If this were my patients I'd paralyze them, ventilate and sedate - let the ID guys figure out how to deal with the toxins.

    @89th said in Anyone else notice this?: @jon-nyc Curious if you are asked to put your pronouns on your name badge when registering at a conference, would you? I want to just say no but there might be a situation where some broader interest of mine (say buttering up an NIH or FDA official for some result) exceeds my aversion to doing so. I don’t foresee that ever happening.

    I am amazed at how often this kind of thing is discovered - MLK, as another example. I can see where plagiarism could happen in doing a language translation where a previous translator really hit the mark perfectly or if your plagiarizing a clever phrase in personal communication, but this is foolish, lazy stuff. Melania’s use of Michelle Obama’s speech was probably even sillier.

    @Copper said in I voted: It said, please do not discuss the election inside the building. So what do the poll workers say for election instructions if they can't talk about the election. "Go behind that curtain. Not sure what is there, but do not look it in the eye and do not let it smell fear!"

    Fleet carrier operation is systems dependent. Not one, but many smaller systems working together towards a single goal. It doesn't just happen overnight, which is why the Chinese are experiencing a steep learning curve.
