i have dupuytrens (aggressive and at a young age), and my canadian doctors didn’t know that there was a radiation oncologist downtown doing rad therapy for it. waited 4 months and found out on google. how is it defensible that a doctor doesn’t know that someone in the same system as them offers treatments?

Dilbert was as much an era as he was an icon. Good luck in the great cube farm in the sky, Scott.

solving puzzle pieces is trivial. you just keep looking for the right parts till it fits. it is designed to be solved. unlike a car door.

CT is basically just pressing A for 5-10 hours though. The characters are pretty well done (albeit pretty hardcore 90s archetypes) and the artwork is gorgeous, but, given the shallowness of the dialogue and the gameplay, it doesn’t hit me like it used to.

I agree completely, playing it now feels very primitive. But at the time, even into the 2000s, it was a revelation.

you don’t need milk per se. you just need something that your body can digest alongside the tannin. i love strong tea and have had to be saved more than once from cramping and dry heaving from tannin overload.

Israel basically sees them as evangelizing Christians in disguise. They don’t consider them Jewish because they both proselytize and worship Christ as the Messiah. Both of those things are offensive to the traditional tenets of Judaism.

Israel doesn’t allow Messianic Jews to be citizens for this reason.
