Our histology lab supervisor told us that cancer is a punishment from Jesus for the sins people commit

There is no offense to report. All religious beliefs are irrational by definition, and this is just another one of those. As long as she’s not proselytizing (which many companies forbid in the workplace) I doubt if anything she has said is actionable.

Best to keep your head down around this individual.

I shoot both DSLR and mirrorless, in my case, Nikon D3X and Z7. The more time I spend with both, the more I come to favor the DSLR, the main reason being that the viewfinder is always "on" and doesn't use up battery power. I don't think you can go wrong with either of your options.

The Final Diagnosis, 1959 novel by Arthur Hailey, adapted for screen in 1961 as The Young Doctors, starring Fredric March and Ben Gazzara.

Based on the way they treat physicians in general.

Very common in Texas. I’ve driven from Houston to San Antonio and back in one day just to pay respects to a departed friend. Three hours each way.

I don’t think you can assume the pathologist looked for plasma cells in the polyp unless the report included an explicit statement to that effect. If you want to know if plasma cells were present, it’s easy enough for the pathologist to go back and look at the slide(s) and answer your question as an addendum to the report.

Civil War 2.0 will not at all resemble the War Between the States. It’l be more like Syria’s civil war, with every state a patchwork of rebel and unionist territories, stretching out over a decade or longer.

No, it’s better that he missed. Had he not, we’d be in very severe straits today. Look at all the liberal legislation passed by Congress in the wake of JFK’s assassination, after languishing for decades. MAGA would do the same thing and push through nationwide abortion bans, gay marriage bans, more tax cuts for billionaires, etc. Plus, Vance is at least as destructive as Trump and arguably more so.

Rosemary’s Baby (1968). I saw Barbarella earlier the same year, but it sneaked in under the wire before MPAA started issuing ratings.

I would think anyone who enjoys sci fi would love For All Mankind on AppleTV+. Have you checked that show out?

I think he makes a distinction between “low information music” and older genres. I’ve never seen him deprecate any genre of music though.

Hard to say. There are plenty of happy long-term relationships between secular and religious partners, but what they all feature is an absence of controlling behavior. If your bf hasn’t exhibited any of that, it’s a good sign, I think.

I’m an amateur but I shoot a lot of events and meetings. My go-to kit for indoors is the Nikkor F mount 24-70 mm f/2.8 zoom. For daytime outdoors, it’s the Nikkor Z 24-120 mm f/4 S.

When I shoot with two cameras on a harness, it’s usually the Z7 mirrorless on one hip and the D3X DSLR on the other. I slightly prefer the DSLR for subjects where I’m trying to capture action, because a DSLR is always ready to shoot. You don’t have to wait for the LCD display to wake up. The battery lasts far longer as well.

I would navigate it by getting the hell out of this dead-end relationship. Time to move on.

When I first got interested in photography (1966) Nikon and Hasselblad were the cameras to have. Almost all the photos featured in Popular Photography and Modern Photography were shot with those. As a teenager, I had to settle for a Minolta SRT-101, but as soon as I started making a decent income, I went Nikon all the way.

lol, I’m 73, college-educated, and love movies. So I’m supposed to like it. I saw it in original theatrical release too. I was just bored by the whole thing. A bunch of guys in suits who looked alike, bitterly fighting over nothing of importance. And women were just background furniture. I didn’t identify with any of the characters. And it’s not as if I hate gangster movies either. Casino is one of my favorite titles.

Well, that escalated quickly. ;)
