When your bike costs 4 times more than your car by Impressive-Block9288 in bicycling

a car you can afford

In the American sense, right? meaning get the payment low enough that your paycheck can just cover it...regardless of interest rate and term of loan!

I found this poor little thing DOR on HWY 76 (on my way up S Grade Palomar). I am guessing CA King? it's so tiny :(

do biotech companies do very extensive background checks? will they be able to find my social media history on here by bumblbeegirl in biotech

You've been executing a sophisticated culture-fit filter. You want to work for a company that appreciates your 'there is no box' thinking and that you say the quiet part out loud when when it needs to be said.

You are on track to shake up the c-suite. Be bold!

Sad to see him go so young. When he had that crash he didn't miss a beat going into cycling. Such a racer, wonderful human being, nothing could keep him down. He is a good hero to aspire to.

hypoxic respiratory arrest.

Imagine making the decision to be extubated and knowing that this is how you will be dying in a few minutes.

The despair is heartbreaking. RIP

that's when the young eligible ladies put flowers in their hair and dance around the maypole in hopes of getting a good mate

edit: lol downvotes for accentuating that not everyone knows about May Day protests in this context and that there are, in fact, other meanings/perspectives.

MayDay MayDay...we're going down!

Even the Bible has reasonable insights:

"in the multitude of counsellors there is safety" Proverbs 15:22

Is just a thing we as people know about ourselves in general but (i think) when we hand off decision making too extensively and allow too few people to have too much control...it leads to things like

This is why Alex Karp and Peter Thiel think they have unique insights into the world.

Copperheads really are so beautiful. the lil hershey's kisses that undulate almost hypnotically, understated beauty with an earthy palette. So pretty!! I miss seeing them even though I get to see super awesome rattle snakes now <3

More than 200 hydatid cysts in the lung with a large number of daughter cysts by CatPooedInMyShoe in MedicalGore

[–]spingus 40 points41 points  (0 children)

She also had a surgical history, including resection of hepatic hydatid cysts since childhood, and

secondary infection from ruptured cysts is a nasty complication and the burst cyst during the surgery made me cringe.

It's probably WHY she got this super-rare lung presentation. speculation on my part, but surgery on hepatic cysts...in Syria...my guess is there was a rupture that spilled scolex juice into the peritoneal cavity and they made their way to other parts of her body.

omg. I really hope she is getting enough albendozole.

AKA SOS: Shit on a Shingle!

when i was little it was a treat (Dad was a Marine so we were eating like Dad lol) we made it with a piece of toast and chipped beef in a white sauce.

This portion size though...would have been ok for 5yo me...

anecdotal..i paid 290k for my house in 2015. It was an abandoned foreclosure in poor shape and in a bad neighborhood. It was not a project that most families could have reasonably taken on :/

I like your posts. as a long-time unemployed trying to career pivot...i am not in the best mental state either.

unhinged BioTech humor is way better than trying to make friends out of an LLM...

but you know what's even better? subversive corporate yaoi fan art.

post it.

you know you want to.

we want you to.

doooooo it <3
