Repair the appendix? Um, what? You yank it out.

How terrible to not go into depth on the surgical procedure. :eyeroll:

First of all, you "fix" the sepsis by controlling the infection with antibiotics

And if you'd bother to read TFA, you'd find out that antibiotics were not effective. It's kinda the entire point of TFA.

But that didn't identify the source of FECAL bacteria in the blood.

Are you under the illusion that shit doesn't leave a person's body through a regular outlet?

No, of course not. It's utterly impossible for fecal bacteria to get anywhere outside the body!!! That's why nobody is supposed to wash their hands after taking a shit!!

And did you know that there's a condition that MIMICS acute appendicitis 100%

You mean, causing pain, swelling, tenderness and fever? Symptoms she didn't have before taking antibiotics?

Btw,

or are you the type of religious scholar who makes up his mind on the most complex pile of cells in the universe based on a few hunches?

Nikon Is Killing Its Authorized Repair Program (ifixit.com) 109

According to iFixit, Nikon is ending its authorized repair program next year, "likely leaving more than a dozen repair shops without access to official parts and tools, and cutting the number of places you can get your camera fixed with official parts from more than a dozen independent shops to two facilities at the ends of the U.S." From the report: That means that Nikon's roughly 15 remaining Authorized Repair Station members are about to become non-authorized repair shops. Since Nikon decided to stop selling genuine parts to non-authorized shops back in 2012, it's unlikely those stores will continue to have access to the specialty components, tools, software, manuals, and model training Nikon previously provided. But Nikon hasn't clarified this, so repair shops have been left in the dark.

In a letter obtained by iFixit, Nikon USA told its roughly 15 remaining Authorized Repair Station members in early November that it would not renew their agreements after March 31, 2020. The letter notes that "The climate in which we do business has evolved, and Nikon Inc. must do the same." And so, Nikon writes, it must "change the manner in which we make product service available to our end user customers." [...] In a statement, Nikon confirmed the termination of Authorized Repair Stations contracts after March 2020. Authorized service, Nikon stated, will be provided at its Melville, NY and Los Angeles, Calif. facilities. "We remain committed to providing the best product support and repair services to our customers," Nikon stated. Nikon did not answer our questions about the former authorized shops' access to parts or other official services.

Terrible coding practices and inefficient architecture...like making simple things like VSCode giant Web applications in JavaScript has a cost beyond sluggishness. I wish folks considered wasted electricity...wasted heat...just so some dummy doesn't have to learn C/C++? I am convinced there are better ways to provide a good experience across 3 operating systems than JavaScript everywhere.

The problem with our blind worship of innovation is that we celebrate innovation, no matter what the cost...sometimes it takes the form of apps written in whatever language appeals to the idiosyncrasies of whomever wanted to write the app. Beyond a terrible user experience, that drains my battery on my phone/tablet/laptop...shortening the lifespan, it heats the room...it costs more server electricity and cloud computing...when will developers start caring about the performance and environmental impact of their work?...but as long as they innovate, we don't ever take them to the side and ask...do you really need 20 frameworks? Is the user experience better with your 20 frameworks than it was 20 years ago, when there were far fewer frameworks, but everything was more efficient and even more responsive?

Maybe if they gave thought to the ecological impact of their choices, they'd stop forcing cross-platform untyped languages on us and using 20 frameworks...making the process of creating their app 5% more joyful to them and making using it 10x worse for the rest of the world who wants to use their work...this especially applies to VSCode...it's SOOOOO slow and from what I can tell, doesn't really do much...maybe teams is a better use case, but I am VERY unimpressed with VSCode. I hate seeing it lock up for a minute or 2 opening a large file I have no problem opening in Eclipse, IntelliJ and especially Sublime. The same applies to modern single page applications...at work, we have a web application that was written 15 years ago...barely any JavaScript...it's SOOOOO much faster than newer apps with faster hardware. It does just as much and displays more data, but doesn't bog down my browser and is snappy and fast....even looks pretty nice...it just is very simple, minimalist HTML/JSP, written by a human being and not having 20 different CSS/JS frameworks doing simple things in the most inefficient way possible. How much nicer would modern apps be if they were more sensible about frameworks and architecture?

From what I understand, and I could be wrong, is that Vietnam doesnt really have much in the way of animosity towards the US, especially the younger Vietnamese. First of all they won, and while the US did bomb the crap out of the North, the North was barely industrialized so they never lost much in the way of infrastructure. Most of the bombs were dropped on empty jungle. Some of your old school war vets might still not be too fond of the US but that's about it.

Of course men "aren't all powerful sex abusers like at CBS and CNN.". Where the fuck do you even get that? I'd warrant it's far more from FOX and other conservative outlets then it is from CBS or CNN.

In my own personal experience male right activists are generally professional victims much like many interest groups on the Left. Basically, they're one of the Right's core victim groups.

Absolutely there are things in our society that stack up against men inappropriately, even white men. To posit that we as white men have it worse off than any other group is the height of ridiculous though. Even the vaguest elementary school knowledge of global history clearly illustrates this and it's shear ignorance that thinks this type of millennium old shit disappears overnight.

In summary, be a fucking man and work through as best you can the very few limitation society puts on us white guys. Your lame internet culture war certainly won't do a better job of solving society's problems with it's demonization of feminism (literal definition: equal rights for women) through the siting of fringe sources exactly like the Left does in demonizing Right wing movements.

Ever get bothered by the Left demonizing the Right because of a few racist idiots in your numbers? Make a big ol' guess how that applies to the Right and feminism.

I'm not sure how taking established characters and devolving them akin to something more like Galaxy Quest is being a 'resurrector' of Star Trek. I see your point, but if all JJ is doing is shitting in a star-trek labeled box and peddling it until audiences don't care anymore, I don't see how that helps the brand in the long run.

It's rather as if Obi Wan was scripted to tell dad jokes. It's completely immersion breaking, at least for me. I'd rather wait for the next season of Orville than subject myself to the kind of stupidity that was JJ Trek.

Star Wars ultimately is just another pointless story of good vrs. evil but with space wizards and laser pew pews. If that's all you have to work with then it's kinda hard to have high expectations. Apologies, if you're a big fan, but at least you have Rouge One for some actual decent story telling that even added a plausible explanation for the critical flaw in the Death Star from the earlier movies. That's rather more than what Trek has at this moment.
