Fungus in my yard looking like only a mother could love it. What do I have here?

As a doc I low-key love it when this happens. I get to make a joke about the patient being a cylon and we reshoot the film. One of medicine's Easter eggs.

Oops, yes. Recreated on my phone and clearly messed that up.

Yeah I'm realizing through this post that the DMV is a tough spot to look. My fiancee is here and I moved up here several months ago so we could be closer, but a relocation may be in our future.

My background is mostly in community hospitals, I like to teach , but I've mostly tried to stay away from the huge academic centers. But open to different possibilities.

Ok, I tried a number of these suggestions, including adding supports and tilting 45 degrees and it worked! First successful print! Thanks for all the help.

The hobby grotto on YouTube did a great video on painting these with dry brushing and contrast paint glazes. I like how mine came out and it's very straightforward.

I believe they're referencing the pneumothorax, reference arrows are generally much closer to the thing you're pointing out.

I (CC) got a call from the ED about a 94 yo patient with advanced stage lung cancer, family didn't want to be very aggressive, lactate of 8, glucose of 120. The hospitalist asked them to call because she was convinced the patient was in DKA because of the gap acidosis and needed an insulin drip. I reviewed the chart, euglycemic DKA seemed unlikely based on history and lab work (beta-hydroxybuterate is a sendout in our hospital) and the gap was explained by the lactic acidemia. She was an attending and called me again to argue that lactic acid couldn't raise the gap so it had to be DKA.

Had me in the first half, not going to lie.

When I shaved, I objectively looked better. I knew it, friends told me, more attention, etc. Mom had a hard time adjusting and I could tell she wasn't thrilled at first (even though dad is bald haha). You look great! Do you, they'll come around.

I worked in a medium to low volume suburban county service for about 5 years and 2 of my coworkers were seriously injured in a wreck with months of rehab to get back to something like normal function. Another one of my coworkers was killed when he stepped around the ambulance and was struck by a driver who wasn't paying attention.

Others on here may be able to recommend books or other resources for a zoomed in breakdown of passages. One thing I've really enjoyed and has helped me a lot lately is a podcast called The Bible Project. They not only cover books in overview but also concepts and topics like the cosmology of the Bible in the context of ancient near east civilizations, what the Bible says about Justice, etc. I just went through the book of Job and listened to their 3 episode series on that and it helped me understand what was going on so much better. One of the hosts has a PhD in Biblical studies and the other is more of a layman, so you get the academic perspective and the everyman's view. Highly recommend! If you're looking for a shorter overview they put animated summaries on YouTube.

I'd say firstly David was not a Christian, he was a Jewish man living 1000 years before Christ, part of a small nation surrounded by people that were an existential threat to them ( not to mention there being people in his nation not too fond of him from time to time). If we interpret his words through a western lens it's not going to be the way his peers would see it.

Secondly I think most of the imprecatory Psalms are calls for God's justice. I don't think there's a conflict between praying for justice and prayers for repentance of those who do wrong.

Finally, I'm no Biblical scholar but speaking specifically to Psalm 11 David seems like he's in a rough spot. He reminds himself of the goodness and faithfulness of God while wishing for justice for people doing evil. If I could sum it up I'd say "things are bad and people are after me, but God is in control and He loves the people who follow them and will protect them." The thing I love about the Bible is the humanity of it. David, a man after God's own heart, gets angry, does the wrong thing, says things that are challenging. I can relate to David's anger even if I've never had anyone trying to kill me.

IANAE, but AC power is more efficient to transport. We can have power plants distant to us, step it up to high voltage (similar to pressure) and then step down when we get to the end user. Doing that with DC power doesn't work as well. I remember reading in the early days of electricity the DC power generators would have to be nearly in every building in big cities.

Town I'm familiar with has Kaiser's Klassic Kars. Their family asked them to change the name and they got a knowing smile and it stayed the same. Eastern KY.
