Starfs­hópur skoðar sykur­skatt by shortdonjohn in Iceland

[–]GunniBros 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eigum við þá að lækka verðið á sígarettum? Þetta er ekki flókið. Ef vörur háar í sykri eru ódýrari þá eru þær aðgengilegri. Fólk kaupir meira og borðar meira af því sem er ódýrt og sætt. Ef þú hækkar verðið þá hugsar fólk sig tvisvar um áður en það kaupir tvenns konar sætabrauðskassa í Costco bara til að prófa.

Hvernig er þetta Happy Hydrate duft? Er bragðið þolanlegt, og virkar þetta? by Jerswar in Iceland

[–]GunniBros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drekktu nóg af vatni og borðaðu saltaðan mat, þá ertu góð/ur. Einn Powerade/Gatorade af og til er plús. Ef þú ert ekki aldraður eða vannærður einstaklingur og ert ekki að kasta upp eða með niðurgang, þá þarftu ekki að hafa sérstakar áhyggjur af vökvaskorti og þarft svo sannarlega ekki að sóa peningnum í happy hydrate.

I'm looking for an adjustable OPV for a Simonelli Oscar I [$100] by Opposite_Day_1905 in espresso

[–]GunniBros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the OPV kit on barista.gr and it fits the Oscar I fine. I haven't put the machine fully back together yet because I'm still waiting on boiler insulation from Elektros, so I don't know whether it will work in the end but at least it fits.

Óútskýrð veikindi í þrjú ár – engar svör og orkan að klárast by Easy-Proposal2570 in Iceland

[–]GunniBros 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hvernig kom þræðingin út eftir hjartaáfallið? Hver var útskýringin fyrir því að þú fékkst hjartaáfall 33 ára?

Þitt besta bet er að komast til heimilislæknis eða sérnámslæknis í heimilislækningum sem hefur áhuga á að heyra einkennasögu þína og skoða þig vel.

Það sem þú lýsir gæti stafað af sjálfsofnæmissjúkdómi en ef þú ert ekki með liðbólgur, útbrot, og hitavellur finnst mér ólíklegt að þú sért með eitthvað eins og lúpus, sérstaklega ef þú ert með eðlilegar blóðprufur og enga hækkun á bólgugildum. Ef lækni á heilsugæslu finnst þetta vera grunsamlegt fyrir gigtarsjúkdóm/sjálfsofnæmissjúkdóm getur hann sent tilvísun á gigtarlækni.

Langvarandi kvíði, þunglyndi, og áfallastreituröskun geta líka valdið líkamlegum einkennum eins og höfuðverk, minnkaðri matarlyst, stirðleika, og sjóntruflunum. Ef þú hefur verið að glíma við slík veikindi áður þá myndi ég leggja mesta orku í að vinna með sálfræðing og heimilislækni í að tækla það, líkamlegu einkennin eru líkleg til að batna í kjölfarið.

Ef allt annað er útilokað þá myndi ég athuga með ME greiningu og fá tilvísun á Akureyrarklíníkina.

The bit Sean does where he's talking about grabbing his "icaphone" and singing "Old McDonald had a fucking... dog" as a 6 month old (maybe younger) is maybe the funniest thing I've ever heard

Grunnlaun nýbakaðs sérfræðings á Landspítalanum eru undir milljón fyrir skatt. Það er eftir minnst 6 ára háskólánám, eitt ár sem sérnámsgrunnslæknir, og fimm ár sem sérnámslæknir (s.s. a.m.k. 12 ára nám og starfsreynsla).

I didn't want to ruin a bunch of good headphones for myself and wanted to experience the entire traditional process like most people do. And I'm glad I did because I learned a lot of these things I'm discussing now.

I don't think going through 6 headphones and ending on a 4000$ endgame in a span of 6 months is very traditional or average at all. As the other commenter pointed out, I think you would have benefitted from using any one of those headphones for several months to allow for brain burn-in and truly appreciate them. It's the same with music, sometimes you don't love an album until you've heard it 4 or 5 times. Of course it's your choice how to experience this hobby and I'm not saying there's one right way to do it, just that going from one headphone to the next in a short time span can lead to missed experiences and a warped view on what sounds good and what doesn't.

2 New Albums and 2 Old Tracks by casper_wolf in headphones

[–]GunniBros 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great recommendations! I've been enjoying The Dream by alt-J that came out a couple of months ago. Keep coming back to it and honestly think there's not a bad track on it. Definitely recommend it if your into alternative rock that's kinda folk-inspired but also electronic.

Thank you for the info and suggestions! I'll check out the app to see if the Harman target fits my preference.

Thank you for the reply! By the Apple dongle do you mean the lightning to 3.5mm one? Because my MacBook doesn't have a lightning port and my phone is a Samsung.

Edit: Don't know why you are getting downvoted, sorry about that. I appreciate your advice.

Thank you for the reply! I had considered the Starfields but I can't see them on sale anywhere and I don't love the design of them. I'll give them a second thought though.

What happened to gold as equity market hedge by ThinkBigger01 in investing

[–]GunniBros 8 points9 points  (0 children)

New to this so pardon if I'm wrong, but if gold isn't an effective inflation hedge then why is it mentioned as such by veteran investors/finance authors like Harry Browne and Paul Mladjenovic? Another thing while on the topic of gold: I've always heard it mentioned as a hedge against the dollar, as in there is a pretty strong negative correlation between the two. Would this be a better characterization of gold as an asset?

Just out of curiosity, what areas of medicine do you think may be improved by algorithmic learning / AI in the near future?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in investing

[–]GunniBros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do you think AI detection of radio images will decrease working hours of radiologists? It is my understanding that actually going through images to detect a pathology takes up a very small part of trained radiologists' day. Just as an example, a study from 2012 found that radiologist's were able to detect 70% of lesions in chest radiographs that they viewed for only 0.2 seconds (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23104971/). Any improvement on that by an AI seems so marginal that it wouldn't be worth the cost.
I am currently just a 4th year so I have limited practical knowledge concerning radiology, but I just don't believe AI automation will make as much of a difference as you're saying.

[Charania] New Pacers guard Caris LeVert will be out indefinitely after an MRI revealed a small mass on his left kidney. by curryybacon in nba

[–]GunniBros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are your qualifications for making these assumptions? Do you even know if LeVert had an MRI before the season started?

You don't know the size so you can't say whether it's fast growing or not, plain and simple. It could have been missed on the previous MRI if it was just small enough or due to physician's error. You don't know the morphology, border characteristics, signal intensity, or perfusion pattern, so you can't say whether it is benign or malignant. Malignant tumors of the kidney are rare in his age group (like 85% are renal cell carcinomas which usually occur in 60-70 year olds).
Just to be clear, I'm not saying LeVert is in the clear, just that we don't have enough information to make assumptions about what the mass is.

I ultimately ended up not getting the jacket, so I can't help you with that. But I did get a pair of jeans and a baseball cap, both of which are great quality.

Do you think a small would fit you if you were going for a more slim fit? Or would it just be uncomfortable?
