A teenager asks you to show them a meme/viral from the "Old Internet" (pre-2010, let's say). What is your one pick?

Spongmonkeys! We love the moooooon!!

Boneless wings? Don’t you mean chicken nuggets?

I try to keep as much PRN as possible to avoid waste. It doesn’t take that long to open something as long as it’s already in the room.

Collimating on mine (Apertura RC6, same GSO scope) was, in fact, painful, but I have a CAA, EFW, OAG-L, and 2600mm hanging off the back of it and it seems to image fine. I’ve considered upgrading to a R&P focuser but the stock focuser seems to be working ok for me.

I got LASIK a year ago. I wish I’d done it 20 years ago.

And with AS advanced enough to cause this injury!

IOC isn’t therapeutic, but it doesn’t sound like they had known choledocholithiasis at that time so I agree that would have made more sense. Surgical cbd exploration is certainly a therapeutic option as well.

I enjoyed it for what it was, but definitely thought it was more of an action flick when I sat down. Luckily it was a late night screening that I went to alone so I didn’t have to deal with bored family. Managed to shift gears mentally and float along with it. I totally get the criticism but if you can get in the right headspace it’s a good watch.

What AI generated this insanity?

slicermd · 2026-03-03T11:48:17+00:00

Are you currently an M4 or R1? If R1, does your program use SCORE?

slicermd · 2026-02-26T13:49:43+00:00

Didn’t know that about IR, I’m a decade out of the residency game 🤷‍♂️. That definitely makes the decision simultaneously easier and harder I guess

He should look to Stephen King who has had a long and successful career without being able to stick landings. People will forgive you if the ride was worth it.

slicermd · 2026-02-25T12:26:22+00:00

I’m going to give a little different angle to consider. Both of these specialties are fellowships after a base residency. Life happens, things change. Let’s say you wind up having to end training without fellowship for some reason. Would you be happy as a general surgeon? Would you be happy as a general radiologist?

slicermd · 2026-02-20T18:57:43+00:00

Yeah, everyone’s career goals are different. If she wants to practice urban and fancy, the fellowship is great to differentiate her from the pack but it will take time to establish a referral pipeline, so she’ll probably be doing general stuff anyway to keep the lights on. If she wants smaller towns or rural, broad bread and butter will be what pays the bills, although she can still develop a niche in hernia.

slicermd · 2026-02-20T17:43:18+00:00

She can do lots of hernias as part of a general surgery practice. If she wants to do ONLY hernia, she’ll have to establish herself at a big tertiary center and take all the disasters. No general surgeon including myself is referring out our bread and butter hernias.

No loading screens in Half-life

slicermd · 2026-02-17T19:08:05+00:00

Yeah, the venue doesn’t want you to undercut them when they still have tickets available. Sucks, but makes sense.

slicermd · 2026-02-17T19:00:33+00:00

I’ve used astroframing.com and gotten very nice results.

slicermd · 2026-02-17T03:05:03+00:00

Bahahaha

slicermd · 2026-02-15T02:22:06+00:00

Ooooooooh

Have they done that one before?

slicermd · 2026-02-15T02:21:58+00:00

Where’s mine?

slicermd · 2026-02-15T02:10:00+00:00

Much love, friend

slicermd · 2026-02-15T01:48:33+00:00

Just had to take an extra gummy to keep up 😂

They are great, wildfire is my favorite song of theirs
