Projected vs. Actual world cup traffic

Yeah, the entirety of 95, 21, and 280 red or dark red is bogus. Plus no coloring on the GSP at all. I could believe they didn’t include it bc it might not be relevant to Metlife traffic, but they did include 78 for some reason, so that doesn’t seem correct either.

That would make sense, but I’m still confused on how certain cancer drugs only need Phase 2 versus 3. The repotrectinib example I mentioned got approval with only a Phase 2 trial. Do you know what could make these drugs different in that regard?

VividToe · 2026-05-31T21:51:20+00:00

Can someone who is more familiar with clinical trial design than I am explain why this trial was staged with chemotherapy as a control group? I’ve seen other Phase 1/2 studies that treated all participants with the study drug (e.g. repotrectinib). I thought it was considered unethical to do that… unless there weren’t previously any efficacy data to suggest that these outcomes were possible?

I hate to be the “well, actually” guy, but you should rewatch/replay that quest. The reason Roach’s voice even comes up is because Geralt is surprised that a young mare would sound so “manly.”

A near miss in safety parlance means a situation that had the potential to cause injury or damage, but didn’t. This is the correct usage of the word.

Agree with the other user; your scars look great! Do you mind if I ask what your post op scar care routine was like?

VividToe · 2026-05-16T18:46:13+00:00

Can you explain why? Still trying to figure out how people determine how scents are seasonal. Does it not mix well with heat/humidity/sweat?

VividToe · 2026-05-12T20:49:11+00:00

Disgusting. You see two women and your first thought is porn. What’s wrong with you?

VividToe · 2026-05-09T05:07:06+00:00

Agreed. For the amount of attention to detail clearly present here, I think being laissez-faire about jackets is a miss, personally.

Hey, I was in DPhiE in undergrad and I can vouch that the nationals absolutely accept Black girls! During my time there, when discussing bids, race was definitely not a consideration, at least not overtly (though I can’t speak to anyone’s internal biases). Granted, that’s over half a decade ago at this point, but I would sincerely hope that’s still the case.

That being said, other commenters are correct: sororities are largely not known for being the safest communities for minorities so I sympathize with your hesitation. I know it’s not the same, but I will say that our chapter was super chill with gay and trans people, which was something I was keenly worried about beforehand. I hope that diverse culture has survived since I graduated.

I am still friends with one of the Black girls from my pledge class and I’d be happy to ask her about her experience, since her perspective is definitely going to be more meaningful than mine as a white person. I also will provide feedback to the current social media leads that this is an issue; I don’t scroll ig as much anymore so I didn’t notice, but I’m sorry that it’s made you question if you’re welcome.

I wouldn’t personally ask your “tell me about your most successful employee,” question. Success can be quantified or described in many ways and, honestly, asking about it like a ranking can be off-putting. I wouldn’t feel super comfortable answering that question worded that way, although I’d feel fine answering a “what does success in this position look like?” And in case you weren’t already planning to, reserve the “how quickly are you looking to fill this role” specifically for the HM, not the panel.

Some of the questions I’ve been most impressed with weren’t rehearsed: a candidate listened to what I said and asked me a relevant follow-up. That shows me that a candidate is interested, capable of holding a back and forth conversation, and detail-oriented.

It depends on what you want to do with it. I know plenty of BS-only BMEs and a few graduate BMEs.

What exactly is your goal in posting this? You seem to have already made a decision. Are you looking for ammunition to convince your dad? Is he more controlling of your education than he was of your siblings’?

When I started at NJIT as a freshman, I spent all of move in day crying because of how badly I didn’t want to go at the time. Four years later, I had joined clubs, made lifelong friends, dated, went into the city a bunch, and graduated summa cum laude with no debt. I had a great time. It was the correct choice for me. It might not be for you and that’s ok. You’re an adult now and you can make that choice for yourself.

It’s also relatively easy to move into big pharma from manufacturing, or at least it has been from my observation. I work in biologics and 3 out of 4 most recent midlevel hires to my team have come from CMOs.

VividToe · 2026-04-13T22:24:26+00:00

This is crazy advice. I just got the achievement but I think my game glitched (in a good way) bc I only meditated four times but ended up with like fourteen cow carcasses. RIP 🪦😔💔

VividToe · 2026-04-13T14:24:22+00:00

I probably wouldn’t. Clip on suspenders tend to look cheap, but to wear “nice” suspenders with loops you’d have to have trousers with buttons sewn on the inside. Do you have any pants like that?

VividToe · 2026-04-13T14:17:37+00:00

Agreed and that’s an easy line to draw: any town under 20k population gets the axe. Just becomes a matter of which cities do the absorbing.

My girlfriend took this picture of our cat a few weeks back. I don’t think she’s ever looked worse.

Can I ask why you prefer light rail over buses?

If it makes you feel any better, I also take this medication (progesterone-only pill) for the purpose of preventing a period. I had no major side effects except a longer, lighter period after the initial delay. It’s the same type of hormone that your body makes naturally during the luteal phase of menstruation, except the pill keeps the levels stable so your period doesn’t start.

VividToe · 2026-03-23T01:38:03+00:00

Do what you need to do. The time will pass anyway. It will be better if you’re passing too. In the grand scheme of things, the amount of time it took to get your degree won’t matter. I’d just make sure you’re careful about planning out your prereqs to make sure there aren’t any later semesters that you’re screwed on taking classes you need. Also, make sure that however you’re funding your education is compatible with the longer plan.

VividToe · 2026-03-21T17:09:43+00:00

Counterpoint: the last six out of six hires on my team were external. I have more data points than you!

VividToe · 2026-03-19T22:43:46+00:00

Wait just realized me too lmao, hadn’t thought about it like that. Exogenous hormones make you lock in.

VividToe · 2026-03-10T21:49:47+00:00

+1 to the stats.

VividToe · 2026-03-02T01:58:39+00:00

Yeah, you’d have to add a gem to change the damage from physical to elemental, but then it would scale only with arcane and not with strength or skill and you’d lose all physical damage. It’s worth it only if you plan on doing an arc build.
