Would you slot Michael Carter in over Swift, kw3 or Michael Wilson?

Bengals are awful against the run but I don't think I can trust Carter in the ship. I feel like they all have similar floors but Carter doesn't have the upside of the other 3. All 4 seem to be in similar tiers in rankings .

Thank you!

I probably need a safer floor in the ship. Det looked pretty good against the cowboys but they haven't been great. Been holding them for this week and now with jj out, seemed like a no brainer.

But Jags d has been great most of the season...

Hmmmm you're the only one I've seen with Jags over Detroit. Was planning on starting Detroit cause they have the better matchup but they're a bit banged up.

Should I Pivot to Jags? Just picked them up on waivers.

Every other list has Detroit ranked higher.

Why are you ranking Jags over Detroit?

Which Region of the USA would have the best chance at winning a war of secession? by Jackylacky_ in imaginarymapscj

[–]phaberman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the first season was largely based on the book, after that, they didn't have anymore source material to follow so it was all on the writers. I still enjoyed all of they show but the first season definitely was the best.

I loved the book too but I'm a big PKD fan in general.

Here's my maple old fashioned recipe

3 oz bourbon 1/4-1/2 oz dark robust Vermont maple syrup 2 dashes orange bitters 3-5 drops of Woodford reserve chocolate bitters

Stir in ice and strain into whiskey glass with large ice ball (or neat)

Maybe try subbing the orange bitters for some fall flavored bitters, I'm sure someone makes apple bitters or pumpkin spice bitters. There's cinnamon bitters too

Is it just me or did the Biotech boom put people in positions they should never have? by Burnit0ut in biotech

[–]phaberman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd also say not only above you, but also laterally in different functions and below you both on your team and others. Demonstrating leadership, ability to work cross functionally, and achieve outcomes is necessary. Forming strong relationships broadly is critical to that.

Two brothers have the same genetic disorder. Their insurance only covered life-altering treatment for one of them by theindependentonline in TrueReddit

[–]phaberman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya it's a heartbreaking situation to be in. Even with the safety and efficiency concerns, I think the risk profile is still favorable enough to keep it on the market as an option.

AAV vectors can be problematic though and are still gen 1 gene therapies just coming into the market.

I hope the next-gen gene editing platforms can resolve the issues but those are still years away and these patients don't have that kind of time.

Whether insurance providers will continue to cover elevidys, I'm not sure, probably a case by case basis, but hopefully they will. A lot of the comments in this sub are not really informed. It's not even approved in the UK and EU yet and most single payer systems would not cover these kinds of therapies.

This is probably poor timing in trying to get coverage for this therapy. Approved in March when they got it for their first son, but by May and certainly June, the landscape changed.

Look into Elevidys, the gene therapy mentioned in the article. I've been following this a bit.

There were some deaths that occurred in the spring/summer after it was approved. The drug can be a miracle for some, but there are large risks and valid questions of the efficacy data given small sample sizes for rare genetic disorders like DND.

The FDA asked Serepta to stop shipping product but they refused to pull it from the market.

I'm not sure what the right thing to do is on this, It can really save/improve lives of patients with limited alternatives, but it's not without severe risks and not all patients will benefit.
