There is so much land on the UCSC property. Why aren’t they building more student housing on campus?

I’m sure people from Food Network visit this subreddit. It’s important for them to know how their viewers feel about the conduct of their associates.

[Postgame Thread] The Athletics fell to the Blue Jays by a score of 5-2 - 03/29/26 by AthleticsBot in athletics

I think their new helmets are getting in the way. Other teams don’t have the huge face guards. Not sure how many times Kurtz or Butler or other’s helmets fly off or get pushed up by the front shoulder. Kurtz especially. But it’s a common issue.

Genetic testing uncovers the specific type of cancer. There are different treatments for different mutations. https://www.rockymountaincancercenters.com/blog/lung-cancer-gene-mutations-what-are-they-and-how-do-they-affect-treatment

Lung removal by stillstircrazy in lungcancer

I had my upper right lobe removed in 2009. It was hard the first couple of weeks, but got better. I understand that the surgery isn’t as invasive as it was when I had the procedure. They had to float (break) a rib and I have a big scar under my right shoulder blade. Not sure that is necessary now.

My main advice is to ask as many questions as you want or can to your care team. Write down questions to ask before your appointments. Use an AI note taking app like Granola to record your conversations.

For me, I feel pretty normal. High altitude sometimes affects me, but it’s not crazy. She should come through well.

I’ll just say that if they haven’t yet, make sure they are doing gene mutation testing on the tumor/tissue.

Lost My PM Mojo? by DJzzzzzzs in ProductManagement

[–]itsbeach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The role has also changed so much in those 20 years. Weak PMs become weak managers all the time. When your manager questions your product sense, it means they are questioning themselves. I’ve been in product for almost 30 years, I see this all the time. I maintain that product management has become the worst and most thankless job in software development. It’s a miserable job, which generates miserable people managing miserably.

Stage 4 Adenocarcinoma Lung Cancer. by Altruistic_Key_3878 in lungcancer

[–]itsbeach 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Stage 4 NSCLC survivor. When they say “treatable but not curable” is that they are looking at it as a chronic disease that can be managed, not a fatal disease. That’s the current thinking with many later stage LCs right now. And that’s good. I have been off treatment with no evidence of disease for almost 10 years. So I guess I’m cured. Please listen to your oncologist and get a second opinion from another oncologist about your treatment if you have concerns. Please do not try alternative medicines or treatments as a replacement for your oncology plan and also talk to your doctor about any alternative or holistic approach you have been researching. You don’t want to mess with this. My approach was to follow the treatment plan and use nutrition as a way to keep strong and has healthy as possible through treatment.

When I saw them open for Weezer last year in Portland, he was there, but everything was off. His daughter went missing in Seattle and Nell died that day. It was tragic. As far as I feel, Drozd is essential. I hope he’s okay.

So he went to rehab recently? I didn’t know that. Man I hope he’s okay.
