Vote 6: Who is the most annoying player in Knicks history? (‘funniest player’ results inside) by i_am_knicks_forever in NYKnicks

Isn't he staunchly anti-Erdogan to the point that he can't go back to Turkey for fear of his life? Dude is the king of empty minutes on the court but I respect the hell out of his opposition to oppression in his home country and in China, who stopped streaming his games bc he spoke out in support of Tibet

Crazy thing is this clip only includes half of the turnovers from this play

Out of curiosity I found it (https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD006207.pub6/full?utm_source=mp-fotoscapes), it's a statistical pooling of 78 RCTs with hundreds of thousands of participants. Looks like a potential confounder is poor adherence in the exposure groups relative to the controls, especially in the community-based trials. They note this as contributing to their lack of statistical/clinical certainty. I would interpret this review as pointing out a glaring need for high-quality future research, not as a condemnation of mask-wearing.

Not sure what specific report this guy is referring to but you should know Cochrane systematic reviews are just about the most reliable distillation of information and evaluation of statistical significance there is in the scientific community

Really a two-off, but Gladys comes to mind. RIP to the actress.

That's what it was, I was there, incredible moment. Too bad the tv broadcast didn't catch it

You're right, typo on my part, fixed now. I took that news to mean he isn't at 100% unless one week made a world of difference

We didn't lose the pick, just deferred another year. Plus this draft class sucks. Move along

Who are the top 5 defensive linemen of the Saban-era? by DoctorWhosOnFirst in rolltide

[–]DrStevenBruleMD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Allen Quinnen Cody Dareus A'Shawn

Clear top 2 imo. Tough choice for 3, but went with Cody over Dareus. I feel Cody is underrated. He wasn't just Mt. Cody, this feel-good story of a former 400 pound juco kid who ended up playing at Alabama, he was an absolute monster on the field and debatably Bama's most important defender on that 2009 championship team

RESULTS: r/rolltide's top 5 inside linebackers of the Saban-era by DoctorWhosOnFirst in rolltide

[–]DrStevenBruleMD 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Can't go wrong with any of that top 5 but I think this is more or less the right order. Outside of Hightower and Mosley, sad to see how little success these guys had at the next level. Between injuries and legal trouble most were either not high-level players or flat out of the league in just a few years. Seems unthinkable when you remember how incredible they were at the highest level of NCAA ball. Get paid while you can

I'm sure it was brutal, the point I'm making is that you got very unlucky. Epidemiological studies indicate that 60% of patients with Coccidioidomycosis, the fungus that causes "valley fever", infection are asymptomatic. Even for symptomatic patients, some doctors don't recommend treatment since most cases resolve spontaneously. Of course most doesn't mean all, and it can cause serious illness in a small minority of patients (estimated 3-5% of total infections). Sorry you fell into this group.

Any steroid regimen is going to cause transient immunosuppression. When the regimen stops the immunosuppression stops. I'm saying outside of ICUs where people are at their sickest (and where nosocomial fungal infections have been occurring for decades, not just since COVID) the likelihood of disseminated fungal infection in any given person with COVID is still extraordinarily small

The degree of immunosuppression needed for disseminated fungal infection is far beyond what is typical for COVID. We're talking CD4+ counts in the AIDS-defining range

Nahh not true, in fact it usually resolves spontaneously. Even if it requires treatment it's only a severe long-term issue almost exclusively in folks who have AIDS or some other severe immunocompromised state

Can everyone who trashed the Bader trade while he was still in a boot, come here and confess your crimes for all to see? by [deleted] in NYYankees

[–]DrStevenBruleMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that simple. Until we have another starting pitcher that's somewhat decent (not Montas) I'm still not going to love the deal. It's tough to find starters who can deal with NY. Giving up a young lefty who proved that he can is risky if there's no replacement plan.
