<p>Doctors are probably also less likely to look for other causes of chronic cough in smokers.<p>In general doctors are looking for the most obvious potential causes of a health problem. If someone on high dose anabolic steroids went to the doctor with him blood pressure, the doctor would probably tell them to cut out the steroids as the obvious answer rather than exploring other reasons the patient’s blood pressure might be high.</p>

<p>We address the vulnerability by retreating to a private space. The phones come out just to address boredom. Sitting on the toilet is boring.<p>> <i>I will say that playing my Nintendo DS on the toilet many years ago gave me hemorrhoids that still persist decades later.

<p>I could imagine how a potential interviewee might say something like “I’d tattoo myself with your logo for a chance at a job” and a CEO might respond “Hell, yeah!  That’s the kind of energy I’m looking for.”<p>What I can’t understand is how in a whole executive team, no one thought bringing a tattoo artist to tattoo potential interviewees with was a stupid idea. This wasn’t an accident, or surprise, like a tattoo artist just happened to be there and things got wild. They specifically brought a tattoo artist to do this. What the fuck.</p>

<p>I hope this weird redefinition of bike shedding doesn’t take off.

<p>I don’t understand how LLMs make more stuff “bike sheddable”. What LLMs do is allow people to contribute low value garbage to all areas, but we have a word for that and it’s not “bike shedding”. It’s “slop”.</p>

<p>> <i>But I'm prepared to accept it was just variance. The problem is, that variance undermined the competition for many people</i><p>Honestly I found it really frustrating that Balogun got that red card (and gross when political meddling suspended it) while Messi got nothing for a similar infraction. But variance is part of the game. I don’t actually think most of it is in any way malicious and I am not sure refs can do much more. So much is subjective. I’ve watched games where they hand out yellows for every minor infraction and it’s a shitty experience for everyone (fans, players, and coaches).<p>I <i>do</i> think Messi gets favoritism. He gets awarded free kicks right outside the box for softball fouls that no one else gets. But they are trying to protect their star. They don’t want the WNBA thing where every other game Clark gets egregiously fouled.<p>> <i>in the same way hydration breaks did. It made it a worse World Cup for many fans.</i><p>I don’t really understand the hate for the hydration breaks. Giving athletes some water seems reasonable even if the underlying reason is ads. I think they should be 1-2 minute breaks, though.<p>The halftime show in the final was more egregious than the hydration.</p>

<p>Bad management will certainly tank a team, but he’s right. The draft structure also helps to even out the teams.<p>In the NFL, winning is more about quality management and coaching (and some luck) than anything else. Which is a good thing. Leagues where winners are decided mostly on who is able to spend the most on players are lopsided and kind of lame.</p>
