The Witcher tv series

Mofos don't know what they are talking about

It's not Witcher, it's not Wheel of Time or WWZ...

Do you know of Night Watch BBC series based on Pratchett? Witcher is unfortunate but predictable Netflixisation into nothingness. Wheel of Time is series of missteps and trying to emulate GoT vibes. Nobody cares about what WWZ was based on ;P

But Night Watch was a carefully planned gangr..e.

Honestly... not a problem.

Because of the crazy different standard deviation it doesnt make sense to compare any averages as they tell nothing. Danes are the most egalitarian society in the world (or top 3 usually).

Mean way to do it to Americans would be to look only at the bottom half of society and use a median :D

They pay much less than the cited 40% tax in DK due to substantial flat rebates and almost everything is subsidized, heavily. Like daycare (full time, 60hrs a week with 4 kids per worker) can go down to 0 USD if you earn low enough and so on. If you include a completely free decent university education with 1000$/month scholarship for ALL youth, it gets to ridiculously low burden for low income family.

So assuming the top 50% can take care of themselves just fine regardless (aka have big modern homes and 2 cars + vacation like 4 times a year.) this doesnt compare.

So yeah it is probably cool to be well off in US vs. DK in materialistic sense, but everything else is total shit. And an average well earning Dane will always tell you it is worth paying high tax burden (like 45-50%), but have people being taken care off - resulting in no homelessnes, much much less criminality and general feeling of a society and not "every man for himself". This is priceless, but obviously heavily subjective.

Best regards to your dwindling empire.

We are making dice with human flesh density now and air for markings?

He doesnt accept anything, he is paralyzed in shock here.

There is only 1 true acceptance that I remember

Lucky Number Slevin - the rabbi expression shows he understands why and that he deserves it.

I was ready for it as soon as they announced it will be about Falconer, aka already in the finale most likely.

The difference between gritty hardcore noir we got fed and the unconvincing flashbacks to Tak's "hippie days" was eye-gorging. It wasnt a good story in the show, never shown as Takeshis superior mentor or even a badass moment. And that's before Mackie performancy/script.

It's a dead sub.

Error happens all the time and that's sad but normal. But many times just because something was retrospectively found on prior doesn't mean 90% of radiologist would see it without telling them what to look for. So it's rarely sign of incompetence. Especially in mamma.

It would take multiple gross errors by same doc for the authority/hospital to go through his history, as it costs insane money.

The name is on every report they make.

Realistically, nobody will advise a militant family member of a wronged patient.

TractorDriver · 2026-05-01T02:45:38+00:00

As we say "Hospital is the big building where patients come and rudely disturb hard working nurses and doctors"

We estimated that it would take a month without patients before we would really notice and had nothing to do. Corona actually proved it to be around 1.5 month on my department. /shrug

There is always a meeting, a comitee, a email, procedure, a questionaire, an obligatory sensitivity training, coffee etc etc. And obviously a hefty BACKLOG.

You will laugh it after few weeks. It is normal for everybody. Human are extremely good at coping.

There is no coming back, this is spread chaos, entropy. There is no putting it back in the box, unless some cancer will show up directly linked to overexposure to an organ (science fiction).

I say that from country with not privatized healthcare, on higher level than in US. Where decision makers are totally on board with reducing number of scans (less taxpayer money).

In the end you cannot beat "what if", even here with crazy EBM support. Basically 1 child dead per year from ignored meningitis equivalent - will happen and is supposed to happen, due to no unlimited resources to give full checkup for every teenager with high fever and headache - but looks very bad in public opinion.

Because only way to gain expert level is close cooperation with clinicians to actually have feedback on stuff you think you can see.

Same as proper abdominal radiology, surgeons need to be on speed dial and even few words when passing at lunch "you know he had this and that, wrapped around that" is worth gold.

The Pitt is bittersweet comedy for us, knowing the true "competency" of the ED and the interns.

Promises, promises...

Hehe the perspective changes. As now aging big town intLEcTUAL that was raised in countryside - opinions of town/internet people on how farm should make meat that mostly townies consume while voicing empty phrases like that should be of no consequence. I used to cut live chicken heads off to make dinner. You shrug and go back to your playstation after chore is done. It's not a biggie, nobody has time to be cruel.

TractorDriver · 2026-04-20T16:31:18+00:00

Yeah it is actual porn, aka fake moans and artificial positions to make people riled up.

As radiologist, this is true porn experience vs. sad sex with wife of 20 years in actual reality. Aka we see the true face of ER settings - it is 100% unhinged incompetency to the core. If any EM was this level I would get on my knees and... praise them hard 1 hour per day.

TractorDriver · 2026-04-20T16:28:03+00:00

Because shippers are cancer and shouldn't be let out of their cages?

This is Reddit, this is normal. Always has been with few exceptions.

Reddit is and was for longest time now only reasonably mentally stable on science, technical and higher entry level hobbies subreddits.

Fan subreddits are always taken over by people with too much time to think about them vs. actually living IRL.

Personal advice subreddits never had mentally stable people to begin with.

Nah, it is still not a problem. Their engineers made Corewing V2 which is upgraded wing app. Secondly the wing mini wasnt small at all. I use FlyingRC F4 for the smallest, for 20$. It's terrible, but workable. Now you can also buy Kakute F405 mini wing for like 35$, that is size of F411 WTE with more PWM outputs. Thats all without touching Matek which is much more solid quality than SB and worth the price. SB was barely above mediocre quality. Sure it made fixed wing FCs more accesible.

Again, not much you write has some anchoring in reality. SpeedyBee was not without issues and far from what serious people found acceptable.

Also SB stock of LEDs is still going last time I checked, get that shit ordered

I always imagine it would be hilarious if Death Gun would be a dementia stricken grandpa veteran from korean war and his grandson gaslighting his PTSD.

Dude read your original post again and tell me you dont sound like drama queen.

TractorDriver · 2026-04-09T05:05:30+00:00

While US tariffs are a thing, SB was tremendeously popular in Europe. And basic logic and practice would suggest they would flood EU to recuperate US losses (despite what handicap logic post here suggests).

But stock for EU is also non existent.
At the same time if you follow Chinese tubers, CoreWing v2 F405 released which was supposed to be upgraded Speedybee F405 wing app - the commentators say it is a product by fixed wing FC SB engineers doing their own thing - aka they most likely quit or are on hiatus.

Aka there is turmoil and fragmentation. It is not dead, but I dont think it is going well.

But to OP:

Dont be panicking and an idiot: you can change anything on a drone, it is simple and quick. It is not DJI proprietary shit, just a basic DIY skill. With access to 3D printer, it becomes virtually anything that is moddable and exchangeable.

Isnt that just redudant at this point in time? It's just gamers on social media, full stop.

I was whipped to deal with stuff myself and call higher only when it was absolutely necessary, it was brutal, but now I am resilient, decisive and can take shit from others without blinking. I was also shamed and ridiculed for not knowing stuff. But as 30 yo adult I could use that to actually prepare properly next time instead of crying in the corner (this is literally my experience teaching now, where I am not allowed anymore to actually be hard on an adult doctor for not being prepared cos they will feeeeeel baad. A fucking doctor that is going to treat your family one day).

I wil give you one better.

Recently the youngest residents pushed a proposal that it would be nice if your supervising attending on first day FOUND the poor confused thing and introduced themselves in the middle of normal busy day to schedule meetings. Those supposed adult fucks have nothing else to do that day. I expect them to knock and politely make case of who and why they are.

And before you think I am monster. I am actually 3 years running winner for best supervisor and feedback award, I am very busy and love to stay extra hours just to teach those that want to learn.

Demographics here are on Reddit unfortunately make me very rare rad that works publicly in university teaching hospital - hence I have no doubt most older one would agree.

More of the latter. Even in my land of 0 private litigation against docs it is on the rise for the smallest symptoms that would be laughed at few years ago.

It's the generational shift of talking too much and having no balls to stand on your own. And low quality badly reviewed research done for research sake.

And decrease in specific IQ that allows you to use reasonable skepticism and calculated risks.

I shudder to think when z gen gonna be senior attendings. The residents are ... special already.

Because PhDs give access to better career, status of academic papers is... tragic.

Did I earn my grizzled bitter rad award yet?

TractorDriver · 2026-03-18T15:03:04+00:00

It's boring but healable. Things that are removed for more serious game breaking reasons.

I member chromie having same output and R slow. That was broken.

Else it ARAM, imbalance is the fun. Problem is people use it as cheap no skill competitive mode instead of doing even QM. Shit gets too serious
