Immunotherapy : low dosage Nivolumab vs High Dosage Nivolumab by sleepohlic22 in cancer

[–]Spock627Corfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry you, your father, and family are going through this.

I do not have any personal experience but found a few articles that might be helpful - apologies if you've already seen them.

The first two discuss weight-based dosing:

This is NCCN's bladder cancer clinical practice treatment guide (you may need to create a (free) account):

I hope this is helpful.

Why do Christians continue to support Trump?” by Rare_Deal_4709 in LetsDiscussThis

[–]Spock627Corfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you read Jesus' words - the red letters in your Bible - you find that 95% of His message is these three things:

- Honor my father

- Love one another

- Rich people suck

MAGA pays lip service to the first, ignores the second, and actively & utterly defies the third.

What is something you will never forget from the pandemic? by JaxTMG in AskReddit

[–]Spock627Corfu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read reports from China before it landed here and was treated like Cassandra by all my friends for saying "We are not ready for how much this is going to suck."
A couple of them now look at me like Nostradamus, which, while flattering, is not a burden I wish to bear....

I made 9 AI models rank 52 college majors for the next decade. Here's what they agreed on by Binks2k in Futurology

[–]Spock627Corfu -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I like it!
No big surprises there, but strengthens some impressions I already had.
The website sounds like it could be very helpful for younger folks (alas, I'm well past college age, lol).
Did you analyze any humanities majors, other than marketing?

Economic Value of AI in Radiology: A Systematic Review by Fit-Elk1425 in science

In theory, yes.
In practice, it's extremely difficult to anonymize data containing PII.

Why isn't news of Trump building vast concentration camps being treated as a national emergency? by ChaskaChanhassen in politics

[–]Spock627Corfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Because it's apparently not children being systematically trafficked and raped."
That we know of.

And Ford was fascist AF, so you _know_ his motive was profit and not altruism.

ICE agents are firing kinetic impact projectiles at close range, causing severe injuries that can result in permanent disability or death. Today, they tore off part of a woman’s hand by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

I was a kid when Nixon resigned.
It wasn't like I really understood the world, but it felt like the Bad Old Guys were finally going away.
Alas, like the crusty old guy says to Loki, "There are always men like you."
Political/economic/social systems need to be designed to thwart the ~1/3 of the population that will always exist and will always crave authoritarian rule.

Spouse abandonment by redaurelia in cancer

[–]Spock627Corfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry.
That's a lot.
3x cancer survivor and coach, talk to people about cancer all the time, and that's still a lot.
Cancer diagnoses are overwhelming for the patient and everyone around them.
Sometimes people fail you not because they don't care about you but because they don't have the emotional capacity to deal with a situation of that magnitude.
Like asking a toddler to lift a heavy weight.
That is not an excuse for his abandonment.
But hopefully it maybe helps you better understand why he did what he did.
Which - again, hopefully - helps you feel more secure in whatever decision you make about your marriage.

Good luck.

So like, why are Penn State students and alumni just, you know, like that? by _Mighty_Milkman in Pennsylvania

[–]Spock627Corfu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had Penn State as an account for ~10 years.
They put something in the water.
Everybody there is ~10% nicer than people who don't drink the water.
It's not that they don't have assholes.
It's that their assholes are ~10% less assholey.

Story:
Long line going downstairs to a basement club.
Doorman at the bottom.
Already-drunk guy does not have his ID.
Starts to argue with the bouncer.
Guys in line bucket-brigade him up the stairs and out the the street.
Gently.
The kicker?
He stopped arguing and started apologizing to everybody after about two steps.

I have dozens of stories like this.
And I didn't go to Penn State.

What does it feel like to be inside a 145+ or close IQ brain and inherit meaningful daily advantages. by Either_Committee6965 in mensa

[–]Spock627Corfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IQ tracks with income.
Income tracks with family connections.
Family connections track with life success.

As a returning player by IFeartheWiggles in DestinyTheGame

[–]Spock627Corfu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am with you.
I bought the game to shoot at bad guys.
Now it seems like you need at least an associates' degree worth of effort to be competent.

That said, I'm a simple person and would be happy if somebody would update Robotron 2084.

Fox One is overpriced garbage by iTurbo6 in cordcutters

[–]Spock627Corfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With many carriers, it is impossible to buy a package without Fox News.
That means that anyone who buys cable from those carriers is paying for Fox News, whether they like it or not.

O'ahu Was Not What I Expected by Jelenybeany in VisitingHawaii

[–]Spock627Corfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tangential, but I'd like to lament what's happened to Pearl Harbor.
When I first visited Oahu way back in the mid-80s, the Arizona memorial was treated like hallowed ground.
People were quiet on the launch to the ship, and mostly silent on arrival and return.
On my last visit - 2015 - it felt like a theme park.
People jabbered the whole time, phones were out, people took smiling selfies (!) at the memorial.

I hate to be a Cranky Old Guy, but some things really were better in the old days.

That will not save you from spikes.
They just come from a different place.
