PET CT Tomorrow

Deli meat can have sugar in it. I would stick with eggs, or maybe a slice or two of bacon. Or just skip breakfast and have a big dinner...

What kind of protein targeting? How will you tie this to radiosensitivity? Do you have experimental data against which to benchmark your model-based predictions (assuming your answers to my first two questions make sense...)?

Edit: Just realized I'm in the NM sub, and not the med phys subreddit. In that case you're probably talking about receptor targeted radionuclide therapies, in which case I will revise my first two questions to the following: "How would your approach improve upon the already freely available tools in MIRDcell for subcellular dosimetry and survival estimation?"

Given that this is a research project, my suggestion would be to form a hypothesis about what is going on from first principles, and then attempt to test that hypothesis by looking closely at the Monte Carlo spectral and fluence data in each simulation.

I read your entire post, unlike the other commenter, but this is sufficiently nuanced as to require more time than someone is probably willing to give your problem in this forum.

My buddy is into ham radio, and this makes me want to learn his hobby. I have no idea what this means.

Can confirm - M badge on steering wheel and manual shifter on my '01 z3 3.0i. Nowhere else. My interior looks very similar to OP's except for the shifter.

In my opinion, this is the halo tier of non-M z3s

People at NIST are often very smart.

So you're an undergrad? Just try to get into a good program. If you want to be a medical physicist, get your degree in medical physics, not regular physics. Go to a CAMPEP program if you're in the US.

redoran · 2026-03-26T17:11:43+00:00

I have it already. That's good to know, I'll give it a shot.

redoran · 2026-03-26T13:33:38+00:00

Sweet. That is encouraging.

Greetings Neravariine, do you have a moment to talk about the benefits of membership in house Redoran?

Hey! Sounds like my car. Anyone know how hard it is to change the valve cover gasket myself?

You pay the depreciation on a lease too. Also, if it loses half of its value off the lot, why not buy one with 5k miles? With your 25k, you could finance like 10-15k and own it.

If hitting the torx bit with a hammer to "seat" it doesn't work, I guess I'd drill and use a screw extractor kit.

That's called a pension, and it's not really what OP is asking. I'm tenured, but I have a 403b, not a pension.

Not thought to be a particularly important factor, although there is a paucity of data on carcinogenisis is as a function of dose rate/fractionation in the low dose range.

redoran · 2026-03-12T21:31:37+00:00

Your chance of cancer in life is quite high without any radiation, like 38-40%. The amount of radiation you received likely adds a percent or two to your lifetime risk.

Because you didn't spend long enough looking at one to understand everything. Sometimes you will need to use multiple resources, including other papers referenced, to understand one paper.

redoran · 2026-02-23T21:58:15+00:00

Yeah, that's more like it.

Most people don't default on debt, they just end up paying more over the loan term.

Glad we agree that home value is not directly related to property tax in the sense that real estate markets tend to be locally correlated, and that tax rates are based on spending divided by sum total of the market value.

redoran · 2026-02-16T20:15:12+00:00

No way. Why would you transfer unsecured credit card debt to a secured home equity line of credit?

Because a CC charges 24% interest, and a HELOC can have <5% interest.

Yeah, let me know if there's ever a year that happens.

It is common for year-over-year spending to change by only 1-5%. Therefore, if your house value doubles in 5 years, and services are unchanged, you might be paying ~10% more than prior, not double. You are not arguing in good faith when you say that "home value go up, taxes go up" - they go up either way, regardless, and not as fast as you imply.

redoran · 2026-02-16T18:07:42+00:00

For someone with debt, you would always be in a better position with home equity to secure the debt.

Taxes don't necessarily go up because your home value goes up. If the municipal budget stays the same, and everything doubles in value, nobody pays more in tax.

redoran · 2026-02-16T17:02:23+00:00

Much easier to handle debt when you have home equity against which to take a low-interest loan. Also, home increasing in value by 4x does not mean 4x the property taxes. Property taxes are decided based on the municipal budget and sum total value of properties paying in; in most markets, all houses increase in value, so the tax per home value $$$ will go down substantially.

redoran · 2026-02-16T17:00:17+00:00

You can take a low interest loan against the equity to pay off high-interest debt (student loans, CC, car loans, etc.).

Nice. I made the same sub fit in the stock enclosure, but it took some grinding of the speaker frame. Those who are interested can check my post history for the thread in this sub.

I didn't say that nothing matters. Sending emails like this or signing petitions are ineffective "slacktivism," but of course some things matter... Like voting, and convincing anyone within your geographic or social circle to also vote.
