The New Coffee Room

For a ten hour flight only 8. I always take a window so I can sleep against the bulkhead. Take a sleeping pill, put on air pods with chill sounds and I should be snoring within an hour. Could not care less about fellow travelers.

Medical conferences. Meh. I used to be ok with them. Awed by the big names that I see on publications in New England or whatever. Now I hate them. I go only when I have to. Which means I need to be in Tampa in March. And I’d really rather not.

Rebuses. Yea they can be tricky. I couldn’t get that totally bonkers clue. Craycray? Didn’t know that.

Interesting video interviews

Me too. Really a part of my childhood.

no tone to delve now. But it’s a very big deal.

Voted absentee by mail in my original voting district. Manhattan.

Election Day. I’m willing to make a prediction. I know all the polls are even. My gut tells me Harris.

But my gut is certainly no prophet. Just a sewage tube full of gram negative bacteria.

I usually stay in Chelsea. (Lots of places there, I’ve liked le soleil on 35th st.) I like Chelsea because it’s basically walking distance near everything and subways are perfect. Times sq abit too crowded with tourists for my taste.

Take into account that hotel rooms in manhattan are much smaller than your typical franchise hotel. But that’s just the way it is.

I don’t know if this means anything but whenever I’m in New York I feel at home maybe because i grew up there and it’s never left me. I grew up in the heart of manhattan. Central Park was where I went to play after school.
I travelled around on the subways from a very early age.
Maybe because I’m there often enough nowadays.
Just sayin

I like Larson and I’ve seen so many far sides over the years but I missed this one and I thought it’s really funny

Yes obvious fake photo (those patches…?) but there was some press on the fact that the aircrews of the fighter jets on the Iran strike included four women.

Ugg. The guy has gas forming bacteria in his arm. If he doesn’t get debrided soon he will go into septic shock, lose his arm, and probably his life.

800 pages of WWII naval history. Love it.

Finished.

Absolutely the best work on naval WWII I’ve ever come across and I’ve tried a few.

It’s all encompassing but very readable.

@George-K yea I did my surg onc fellowship in Calgary. Loved it.

my institution invests a lot in innovation ( we r number 10 in worlds smart hospitals https://www.newsweek.com/rankings/worlds-best-smart-hospitals-2025. )

So we have lots of things like AI stuff in various disciplines

in the meantime, im not that far away from retirement, when i come into the the ER with my congestive heart failure or pneumonia, i presume the AI will be all there is.
