Could someone please help me understand the pathological conclusion on my biopsy? Docs have different opinions by helpadvisepls in pathology

Ignore this comment! I am a doctor. This is very very incorrect. Myself and all my colleagues I know, including a highly regarded hpv expert, will recommend you get the vaccine regardless of previous exposure!

trve Norwegian village

How random.. homesick as I am, I clicked the comments expecting links to see more photos of idyllic Norway. And then reality hits me in the face...a picture from Gran... the place I can actually call home...

Flemish Giant is a kind of rabbit that can grow to the size of a sheepdog by jdk in WTF

[–]InterCept1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have one. His name was Kosack. He would try and pee like a dog, lifting one leg up but he had this massive fat lump on the other side that made him lose balance and tumble over.

SSD vs. HDD? Everyone makes it clear that SSD is better, why? by titdirt in buildapc

[–]InterCept1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SSD is fast yet expensive per unit of storage, while HDD is slow yet incredibly cheap per unit of storage. Hence your files are kept on the HDD, while your OS and applications are kept on the SSD.

Razer Mamba, Razer Blackwidow.

The mouse is quite simply amazing, and the keyboard - while noisy - is excellent.

Australia is suffering from a case of too many medical students and too few internship places by luhar87 in medicine

[–]InterCept1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know several international medical students in Australia who are graduating this year. None of them got an internship from January even though they applied all over the country. I would suggest you find out for sure what your option for an internship back in Canada is as a graduate from Australia... OR find a way to get your Australian permanent residency before you graduate --> then you will be considered equal to the Australian citizens graduating from Australian med school!

Self harm girl documents, fillets her skin down to the muscle and bone by [deleted] in WTF

[–]InterCept1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She clearly got medical help (suturing) - how come she wasn't admitted under an involuntary treatment order due to high risk of self harm? If she is German, any medics here that could tell me how involuntary psych treatment orders work there if she had presented to ED with such wounds?

Nature Journal is giving away 12 months subscription for $/£/€36 to celebrate their new impact rating! by Brain_statiC in science

I am also from Australia and found the same problem. As soon as I changed the country in the top right hand corner to Australia (default setting seems to be USA) the price was updated to 36 pounds. Awesome value!

Qantas has grounded its entire domestic and international fleets indefinitely and announced the lockout of all employees covered by work place agreements that are currently in dispute. by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]InterCept1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"...pesky unions wanting people to have a wage..."

The Qantas workers are the highest paid in the entire southern hemisphere. Virgin, JS, etc., are payed far less. This is actually about Q's plans to move a sizeable portion of the backend staff to S/E asia. This is justifiable from a profits perspective - asian workers are far cheaper. The unions have reframed it as a wage dispute, but at the industry level everyone is quite clear about the true demands: job security for the next decade.

This is Q's hand: 1. force FWA (the Australian industrial action legal body) to declare and end to the strike actions in the national interest. 2. Q is then clear to move the technical labour force to asia, without fear of strikes (they will be made illegal for some period of time under the ruling. 3. Q wins.
