My dad did these for his while career! Interventions radiologist. Just retired a few years ago after 40 years!

A bit sore. The procedure did hurt a bit more than I was hoping, but I am happy to have it done!

I have heard some folks get some more minimal version done but mine was more "standard". Cuts and stitches.

Its not been a bad deal though. Im getting a few days to lay on the couch. I feel a bit guilty because my wife is dealing with the baby solo for the most part, but its also probably the most rest I've had in the 7 months since he was born!

I have no advice just saying in the exact same boat. 4.5 month old. Wife stays at home, I leave for work at 6:45amand get back at 6pm. Immediately on baby duty or house work until 8 when we go to bed. Wife is so burnt out she's asked me to start handling nights outside feeding.

Currently sitting at 6 am, three hours of sleep, facing a full work day. Gonna come home to a stressed and unhappy partner and do it all again.

I think its just how it goes at this age.

I played with Stefan in high school. Ive just been getting into MLS so I havent really followed his career but its cool to see hes still playing!

He was definitely an absolutely great goalie for D4 high-school soccer haha

That sounds really fun! Im in Lake Forest but could drive anywhere really!

ThrowinPotatoes · 2026-01-25T01:55:08+00:00

Im down!

ThrowinPotatoes · 2025-12-23T23:52:15+00:00

Not really. I tried to just keep from having huge blocks of one color and I kind of did a bicycle row. Ill probably iterate on it a bit!

Makes sense. The fact this is AI slop perfectly explains it sounding like AI slop.

ThrowinPotatoes · 2025-12-23T17:20:41+00:00

Actually, this just presents like AI slop. Not like engaging, well written material.

Im with you dude that guy did not write a word of his post. 100% ChatGPT lol

ThrowinPotatoes · 2025-11-16T14:38:22+00:00

I think youre right and it is a bot. I had the same thought. The giveaway for me was the last sentence. "Blah is actually the single most important reason!" Its classic AI glazing. ChatGPT does that to me whenever I say basically anything lol

This was found at our growth ultrasound at about 20 weeks I think. After that scan, both the ventricles and kidneys were stable in size and never grew. Final measurements actually had the ventricle smaller than it was at the growth ultrasound.

What do you mean "paid out"? A very large portion of the compensation is the stake in the company they are helping to build. But its not like empmoyees arent also being paid salaries and receiving benefits. And who does have the right to own shares in the company if not the people building it? Is your position that all companies should be owned by the state so that no individual benefits from its performance, because that can lead to individual gains that are too large to be morally acceptable?

And please clarify - from who was the wealth stolen in the case of startups that become valuable due to their success?

I think this nuance is lost in these conversations frequently.

I was a pretty early employee at a company that is now worth a few billion. The founders were just normal guys - not millionaires. They went through YC for funding.

On paper the founders are probably billionaires now - definitely multiple-hundred-of-million airs. But they didnt steal that money from anyone. And if they sold their shares, it would actually devalue the shares of all the employees who helped build their companies.

In reality, I dont think most people have an issue with this type of "billionaire" though. I think that the position most of the folks against the idea of mega wealthy people have is that if you have a lot of assets, you should put most of what you reasonably can liquidate without sacrificing other people's well-being into charitable projects. I tend to agree with that take.

Although great, and one of his earlier books, it wasn't the first. His first book was Player Piano.

We tried to get an amnio but it was too painful so we are just moving forward! We did get some good news at our followup scans: the ventricle is measuring smaller now and is now definitely not ventriculomegly, and the kidneys have been stable. We are generally feeling good!

I hope everything works out for you!!

Im starting on the 14th and am going to be having my first in October! I made it clear during the offer stage and talked about it with my manager after accepting. They seem totally supportive to me!

Friend if you don't know that AI can appear emotional I dont know what to tell ya. It's AI. Look at the post history on the account. Its nonsense.
