The New Coffee Room

I got only 13/20. Turns out I have no clue what founding fathers are famous for.

@Axtremus said in Long Connection in Heathrow ... what to do?:

You got specific referral?

@jon-nyc has their WhatsApp contact of the girls, with an occasional boy mixed in.

London has great hookers, even near the airport.

Hate it when that happens.

I believe there's a costly but fast direct train from HR to central London. Given your limited time that might be preferable over the tube.

Depends on how well you know London already.

@jon-nyc knows London very well.

Hm, strange. I'll try to look into it tomorrow. I've randomly increased the memory limit of nodebb, maybe that does something.

Can't find anything about this in the logs. An exact timestamp when the error occured would help.

@jon-nyc said in Mildly interesting:

Not to me it isn’t. You’re just so vulnerable. The slightest contact can be fatal, especially if you fall toward the road

I assume the numbers are US specific. I wonder what they are in countries with good bike infrastructure, like The Netherlands.

What is this about? What does the linked X post say?

It's kind of interesting that the main challenge is not to make the lung work and connect it properly, but to stop the body from rejecting it.

Survival for 9 days sounds like it's still far away from being a real option.

I'm surprised he didn't put up a gigantic painting of himself.

@kluurs said in Piano upgrade time:

Hamburg S&S or Bosie

I think they are so different that one cannot love both. It's either or.

My wife has made me, and continues to make me, a much better person.

My major research focus is trying to understand how cancer evolves and the role of the immune system and environmental insults in this process. We presently focus on colon cancer (now the first leading cause of cancer deaths in men and second in women under 50!!) and critical transitions in cancer that we need better strategies to intercept, like transition from benign polyps to malignancy and metastasis to the liver (the main reason this disease is so deadly).

Oh, can I ask a question about this? I understand you do research and are not a MD, but maybe you still have something to say about this. I did a colonoscopy about half a year ago, where two polyps were removed. One of these polyps was big enough that it could not be removed in one piece. The doctor suggested that this would justify another colonoscopy after 6 months, instead of after 5-10 years - to make sure that the removal was complete. Now I try to weigh the considerable discomfort of another colonoscopy against a presumably very low probability that there's something left and that something could be dangerous. Any thoughts on this?

Hey, why didn't you pay me a visit? ,,

@Westkopf can you tell us a little about yourself? So far I know you do cancer research for a living and have a beautiful wife and kids. Any life goals, apart from playing the 4th Ballade even more perfectly? What piano do you play? What's your purity score?

@jon-nyc said in Welcome, Peter!:

Right. Great piece.

Right. As if you would ever play a piece in C Major.

“Maths” is the more precise abbreviation because it reflects that the discipline is mathematics — a plural noun. Just as we don’t shorten “physics” to “physic” or “economics” to “economic,” dropping the final “s” in mathematics creates an artificial singular. “Maths” preserves the integrity of the original word and emphasizes the breadth of the field, which covers many distinct branches rather than a single subject.
