The same man also invented the modern training method for doctors, residency.

Did he develop it as a way to cover up his morphine and cocaine addictions? Possibly. Is working 100-120 hours a week easier on cocaine? Also possibly.

1000% true. Makes it so much easier for unpopular, minority ideas to make a much bigger impact because it limits voting power of the majority. Without the current arbitrary limit, you'd set the number of congressmen each state gets by the least populous state divided by 3 (since each state gets 2 senators and at least 1 representative). That state is Wyoming and they have just under 600,000 people. With 1 congressman per 200,000 people, California alone would have 196 representatives and 2 senators.

The best option is to rewrite the constitution and put some population restrictions on state representation in Congress (because why does a state with less people in it that the unrepresented city of Washington DC have 3 congressmen?!). But as that seems very far away, the best thing that would be done is to get rid of the cap on representatives and let all Americans have an equal (representative) vote in Congress.

Plus with 1,555 representatives (plus 100 senators) we can loosen the two party stranglehold on this country.

If all you want is perfect allies, then you should expect none. Instead take the imperfect ally and work to achieve a positive result.

This is one of my favorite games of all time that I am constantly going back and playing again.

So excited to see this.

I believe that in the "alleged" video Trump had the women urinating on each other while he watched.

Nah, Charlie once said "I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made up new age term that does a lot of damage." So no Ts and Ps for ole chuck. He wouldn't have wanted it.

Is it the gold price you paid, or the iron price?

Gamers Nexus has entire videos dedicated to their methodology for different tests. No, there are not p values on their charts; however GN does a great job discussing their experimental design and how it mitigates confounding factors to the extent that GN can control for them.

I hate AI, but this is just sour grapes from an insurance company. Medical providers and insurance companies are in a constant battle over payment with insurance companies trying ever more creative ways to deny payment and services (which I think anyone who has been a patient in the US can vouch for). This article claims that the providers are using AI guidance to justify better compensation from the insurance companies. If the compensation to providers for the same medical procedure didn't keep dropping down every year, this arms race wouldn't need to exist. What we really need is a purge of non-clinical hospital administrators (whose numbers have exploded over the past 2 decades) and of insurance personel with multi-million dollar salaries.

Good luck! This looks great so far.

I've also sterilized with a three part process of soap/water, then diluted bleach, then a quick spray of Star San before bottling. That process came from chilichump on YouTube, and I've had a lot of success with it.

In the US, difficulty in finding a place/surgeon will depend on the state you are in and perhaps your insurance. You can claim bilateral testicular pain as the reason that you want orchiectomy to try to game the system, but many urologists will counsel you towards cord denervation for pain if so.

Recovery is a few weeks. No bike riding or riding lawnmowers for 4 weeks. You may get 5-7 days of narcotic pain medications, but most are typically on Tylenol/ibuprofen before then. Ice packs can help as needed.

Incision is usually through the midline of the scrotum (the raphe), and surgery should leave the entirety of the scrotum in place for future vaginoplasty should you so desire. As others have said, given enough time the scrotum will atrophy/shrink without testicles to stretch it.

Most urologists will follow WPATH guidelines for pre-surgery evaluation, so check those out.

I would not view it as a difference in accuracy, but you would likely get different numbers because these lab companies may have different methods of testing the same thing.

For example, let's say that you needed to check your sodium level. The same blood sample sent to Quest may come back as 140 with a reference range (normal range) of 135-145 whereas if it was sent to LabCorp it may come back as 137 with a reference range of 130-143.

There would be no clinical difference between those two values because both are within the normal spectrum. The range of normal spectrum though can differ depending on a company's method of testing.
