    Health Problems

    Dude. Fucking doctor ASAP. Systemic rash is a possible sign of large-scale death of your red blood cells. Tissue necrosis is no fun. My dad was bitten as a kid, was on IV antibiotics for days and needed surgery, has a chunk out of his thigh that looks like someone took an melon scoop to it.

    Health Problems

    Dosimetrist? My wife spent 5 years as a medical physicist. I'll third that radiation oncology is a significantly siloed practice, even from other specialist doctors working on the same tumors on the same patient. There's also a lot of art and differing risk tolerances in treatment design, which...

    RuneScape: Dragonwilds

    Initial impressions seem good. I'll probably get this over the summer and play with my kids.

    Home Improvement

    How much experience do you have doing this work? When I was fresh in the work force (not in the trades) I expected projects to take as long as I thought they should take. About 10 years in, I started doubling my estimates by default. Now to deliver a fully refined project I'm at 4x my gut...

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    I posted a bike for sale here and immediately got hit with a dozen attempts at phone scams. Never was able to find an actual customer.

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    Facebook is fucking cancer. They're trying as hard as they can to make it unusable. The other day 25 of the first 30 items in my feed were ads or "suggested" meme farms. If it weren't my only contact to family living abroad I'd delete my account entirely.

    The H20 chips were already specifically downgraded for the Chinese market to reduce AI performance. H100+ were the subject of the real export controls. The new restrictions also impact more markets than just China.

    The Astronomy Thread

    It absolutely is not 4. Jesus fucking christ. PEDMAS. There is no P or E. 25 * 0 first, then add the rest.

    You might as well give an example where it's actually wrong (yes, steps 1 and 2 should be reversed but the result is the same). The error I referenced: (138,888^2 = 1.93 x 10^8, not ^10)

    Edit: Lol, I should have known better. I went back and checked and about halfway through it miscalculated a velocity figure by two orders of magnitude.

    The Astronomy Thread

    It's km/h, not km/s. 800,000 km/s is over twice the speed of light. As far as getting that high, it's "possible" but not realistic. Some napkin math says that it would take about 15 years to accelerate to that speed, assuming the impulse is equivalent to other plasma engines. Double Edit...

    Dungeon Crawler Carl

    Clearly inspired by me playing Skyrim. Edit: I expect the series to end when Carl finally exits the dungeon and his inventory dumps onto the ground, causing a gravitational singularity.

    I'm pretty sure Connor just did some math and peaced out after deciding he had enough money to keep himself in booze and coke for the rest of his life.
