Idk. I feel like if the guys that actually put in the work at practice, offseason workouts, and play in the games are smiling after a loss it probably means the rest of us can lighten up a little bit.
I'm not gonna have any names but if Michigan is losing a football game this year and I see someone laughing or smiling I'm gonna crash out
We are losing. WHAT IS POSSIBLY FUNNY
Why do I care more from the couch at home than you do!?
That really pissed me off
@DrDiGiorgio probably because they’re gullible enough to read clickbait brainrot like this and think it’s reflective of anything representative of scientific consensus
always with the unnecessarily fabricated lies
the kid growing up in Indiana during the heyday of Bobby Knight was cheering for the Fab 5? and he didn't fit this nugget in for two years on the job?
why do they do this lmao
On one side, you have a seasoned journalist with decades of credibility and colleagues who can speak to his integrity, on the other, you have a lifelong bullshit artist who has failed upward by flattering the powerful. I just don’t know who to believe.
Decades of work and billions of dollars later and all we have are millions of cumulative years of human life every year for the remainder of our existence
After decades of work and billions of dollars, this is what passes for a revolution in cancer research.
This drug is being hyped to no end on social media. At the oncology conference, there is a standing ovation from a crowd of 40,000 doctors and industry people celebrating it as a major breakthrough and the defining achievements of cancer research over the last decade. The scientists behind it will win a Nobel Prize.
What exactly is the achievement?
A drug that extends life by six months in less than 10% of cancer patients.
The cumulative R&D costs run into the billions of dollars. The drug is not a cure and pancreatic cancer mortality does not change. Resistance develops and more drugs need to be developed. When those drugs are hailed as breakthroughs, resistance develops again. Everyone in the industry knows this approach does not scale as a durable solution.
It is not a cure for cancer.
This work follows a narrow line of thinking based on oncogene theories that has consumed enormous amounts of federal funding and biotech R&D for four decades. At the same time, environmental factors, prevention, detection, the root causes of cancer, tumor evolution, diet, exercise, and many other areas of cancer research were neglected.
Any criticism of this model is immediately met by a coalition of interests invested in preserving it. Academic researchers, pharmaceutical companies, investors, journals, science media, professional societies, consultants, patient advocacy groups who have been told there is no other way, and online activists all have incentives tied to the existing model.
Critics are accused of attacking patients, opposing progress, or undermining science itself. Cancer patients become shields in a bigger issue that is really about the performance of the cancer research enterprise.
After decades of effort and billions of dollars, this is what the cancer establishment is giving itself a standing ovation for.
New Yorkers with 16 or more speeding violations will now have to install devices in their cars to limit their driving speeds.
The device will use GPS tracking to restrict how fast the car can drive to the posted speed limit.
The device will be wired into the vehicle's onboard computer.
If drivers refuse to install the device, their registrations will be revoked after 45 days.
This is really such an amazing graph. In 6 years you went from “prepare your final will and take a vacation because you’ll be dead in 12 months” to “we actually don’t know how long to estimate your survival because it’s been 7 years and most patients still haven’t progressed.”
