You talking about Tortured Poets Department? Jokes aside about recommending a popular artist as an ‘unpopular’ opinion - I actually do disagree. I’m a pretty solid Swift fan but TPD doesn’t really do anything for me. I’ve listened to the whole album a couple of times and I found the songs all kind of samey and forgettable.

If you want to introduce people to Swift, I’d vote for “All Too Well” which I think is just such a brilliant, relatable song about unrequited love.

Edit: Currently relistening to TPD and I have to admit Florida!!! is better than I remembered.

TIL, thanks for the explanation!

for Elmo

Wait I thought his name was Leon??

He’s not a robot though, right? I though replicants were genetically engineered humans?

Haha oh man that is such a nice sleek layout compared to….whatever is happening on my planet. Truth time - I’m really bad at this game but I have a blast playing it. My layouts are not slick at all. Thanks a lot for the link!

Thanks for this tip, I was thinking maybe I could just sort of deal with the biomass stuff by hand until I reached coal but I took a chance tonight and built a line for biomass production like you described and it works well. Cheers!

Drillevator is fun to ride and the jet boots 2.0 are great but….. no way. Team Doretta all the way.

Doctor here. 👋 I just wanted to give my experience. I had to do eight years of schooling/debt, THEN I had to do 6 years of post graduate training (internship, residency, fellowship).

Now the post graduate years are paid like a job but not at a physician salary rate so paying on student loans during that time was next to impossible for me because I was in a high cost of living area. So my interest continued to compound during that time. It sucked.

As for the OP I just want to say that part of the reason I expect a higher salary is because I gave up 14 years of my life - most of my youth - in training to get here. Those 14 years were immensely valuable and I often regretted going down this path because of all the things I gave up instead. The training was incredibly difficult and time consuming. I lost touch with all my friends, had to move repeatedly, etc. It was absolutely brutal and felt endless. That’s part of what those paychecks are paying for.

And given Trump’s proclivity for…. Not the truth, one can only assume this performance was after massive preparation.

Remember, it’s not just fun. It’s contractually obligated fun fun fun!

“I can maybe take a bullet or three” sounded like such over the top bravado I was hoping it was meant tongue in cheek.

Don’t get me wrong though I was just commenting on that sentence. I am not meaning to undermine your point about police and their (lack of) aim.

Holy smokes I had a bad gut feeling from the little I had seen of the game and some comments others have made but I had no idea the extent of the company’s depravity. Thank you so much for posting the videos these were very helpful.

Even if it ends up NOT being ankylosing spondylitis exactly - you should know that there are some hereditary factors that predispose to AS but also to other, similar conditions which are collectively called “inflammatory spondyloarthropathies.” Given your brother’s diagnosis you probably have a higher chance of one of these conditions because of your shared genetics. So yeah absolutely ask another physician until someone investigates your symptoms!

It’s really interesting to me that you have provided this additional clue because ankylosing spondylitis was literally the first thing that popped into my head reading your story. I agree with others that your story sounds much more than typical aging symptoms and you should seek the opinion of another physician.

Apparently posted a video about how to avoid ads on YouTube using adblockers, etc.

But how the information was presented matters, especially when people are unfamiliar with the topic.

He wouldn’t admit it. He would find something to blame on Vance (probably wouldn’t be a strain) and then “You’re Fired!” and the red hats would chuckle and never miss a beat.

I thought the data showed Montreal definitively hates Alberta AND the rest of Canada.

Seriously need some other options. I think Dodge’s upcoming Ramcharger looks promising and I’m surprised more truck manufacturers haven’t tried to design vehicles that are electric with a generator backup to extend range. Come on, Ford. I would say come on GMC but they took out CarPlay.
