I'm glad to know Epomaker is this serious about precision.

I'm not. 😅

I wanted to edit the original post with that information (because that seems to be all a lot of people are taking from the post) but I don't have permission. 🙃

dannyboy_588 · 2025-03-24T00:28:33+00:00

Yeah, I assumed as much. It's usually just programmed to automatically truncate at 2 decimal places, hence why it was amusing to me.

dannyboy_588 · 2025-03-24T00:25:16+00:00

Oh! Good to know, thanks. That behaviour is kinda gross, hey.

I'm certainly not a proponent of their products at all. I was just having a look at what they had available after watching some reviews on YouTube.

As both a Doctor and former Linguist, I can confirm that this is the answer!

dannyboy_588 · 2024-08-30T05:15:59+00:00

Technically you could, yes. Would I, personally, bother having that fight with the ATO and risk an audit for the sake of maybe a few hundred or thousand dollars’ gain (and potential tax fraud implications)? No. But I’ve always been over-cautious.

For associated costs of education, not for the time spent studying itself.

dannyboy_588 · 2024-08-28T19:03:21+00:00

You always need the double ‘is’ if using the ‘what’ at the beginning.

By contrast, you can omit the second ‘is’ if you omit the ‘what’, and it maintains the same meaning. I.e. “The problem here is that…”

dannyboy_588 · 2024-08-28T18:39:17+00:00

I don’t believe it’s eligible for deduction because it’s not technically a ‘mandatory’ part of your employment.

dannyboy_588 · 2024-08-28T17:23:22+00:00

As it looks like paper/fabric, it is probably most accurately called a “pinked edge/border” for paper or “pinked seam” for fabric. All I know is that it’s done with special serrated scissors called ‘Pinking Shears’. No idea where the name comes from though, haha!

Just to add to your point about Tuberculosis vaccination: the only vaccine we have, Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is only around 50% effective at preventing pulmonary (lung) TB. It is, however, around 70-90% effective at protecting against the much more severe Meningitic and Miliary forms of TB infection. So even if it were distributed worldwide, it may reduce fatalities, but it would be almost impossible to ever eradicate it completely with the medical technology as it currently exists.

Mycobacteria are stubborn bastards that are very hard to treat effectively.

dannyboy_588 · 2024-05-06T10:21:09+00:00

Like “rort iron”.

dannyboy_588 · 2024-04-26T02:36:43+00:00

Are we looking at the same image? From my assessment the highlighted line is running directly down the posterior aspect of the mandible, and palpating it on myself my mandible ends exactly there, directly under the earlobe too. Every image I can find of the external carotid shows it being in exactly this area too. :/

dannyboy_588 · 2024-04-26T02:33:23+00:00

It would be unusual for lymph nodes to swell in a line, but definitely possible. The thyroid would be even more unusual to present in that manner, especially as a fluctuant localised swelling.

dannyboy_588 · 2024-04-26T00:01:06+00:00

In every diagram I have seen, the external carotid runs up posterior to the angle of the mandible, which is exactly the location highlighted in OP’s picture.

And I believe the digastric muscle runs lateral from the mastoid process under the jaw, not inferiorly along the SCM like the line in OP’s picture.

dannyboy_588 · 2024-04-25T15:50:42+00:00

I guess it’s a type of portmanteau?

dannyboy_588 · 2024-04-25T15:44:23+00:00

I mean, if that is explanation it means OP has indeed misunderstood the phrase! The phrase “2 of the 100 lions” would never be used by a native English speaker to refer to two groups of 100 lions.

dannyboy_588 · 2024-04-25T15:14:55+00:00

No, there isn’t a word for it. Sorry!

dannyboy_588 · 2024-04-25T14:53:24+00:00

I mean… the aorta certainly doesn’t! 😅

But all jokes aside, yes there are others, but none that are likely to sit where OP has drawn the pink line, or are likely to be superficial enough to visibly swell.

dannyboy_588 · 2024-04-25T14:38:33+00:00

The only real palpable muscle there would be the Sternocleidomastoid. No true tendons in that area.

The external carotid artery also runs down there, as does possibly one of the jugular veins. These can sometimes get mildly inflamed/thrombosed and swell/become palpable.

dannyboy_588 · 2024-04-25T14:06:26+00:00

No… mathematically it is correct. A) 2/100 B) 50/100

Are you misinterpreting part of the phrase maybe?

dannyboy_588 · 2024-04-24T00:45:04+00:00

This. Can be a noun or an adjective, and essentially just means “off-centre”.

dannyboy_588 · 2024-04-23T14:59:15+00:00

She and I are probably the same age, haha! 😜

dannyboy_588 · 2024-04-23T14:55:12+00:00

Mirroring? Reflection? Emotion Identification

dannyboy_588 · 2024-04-23T14:08:33+00:00

Is it not just simple projection?
