Something is wrong with the whole system of how people are compensated for their work; a Starbucks employee shouldn’t have to rely upon the good graces of their customers (tips) to earn a living wage, either. That being said, a heart surgeo

I’m sorry for both of you. I thank you for your words. As someone who’s right behind you in line, your words mean more to me (and hit harder, and cut deeper) than I expect they do for many. Take my love with you both. See you on the other s

Thank you for this, it’s stirred up a considerable amount of thought in me, but I would also say that my immediate reaction is that > its own pre-action thoughts and the following action Can also be a sort of spatial processing

I didn't have any symptoms until it was stage 4. I developed a kind of crackling in my right lung when I breathed, so I got it checked out.

No problem, I don't mind talking about it. It was stage 4 when it was detected. Right lung, pleura, up my lymph nodes to the opposite side. There was a lot of it. And I've had Stereotactic RadioSurgery a few times for metastases i

The biggest thing people who have lost someone close to them have to say is that they start to forget what the person looked like and sounded like. I am doing it - I think if you keep it casual, like "hey, I was just thinking about you

I was recently released from a clinical trial because of too many “newly measurable” areas of tumor. I was offered CAR-T but was told that it comes with a high risk of possibly fatal infections and is not guaranteed to work at all for my ca

I think given Boeing’s focus on profit over quality and safety lately, this really shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Up until Con Air, neither Nicholas Cage nor John Cusack had made a bad movie (well, -maybe- one each).

It’s not the getting to lucid dreaming that’s the problem, it’s the “oh! I’m dreaming!” part. Wakes me up every time. That and I have dreams about flying, but as soon as I realize I’m having dreams about flying, I wake up and the flying d

Because it's the largest state by far, so it's easier to do the math on. The next 3 biggest states put together don't add up to the size of Alaska. Alaska's land dedicated to national parks alone is bigger than the entir

Your generous explanation seems to run counter to the first part of the second quote, which is that none of Delta’s aircraft are currently flying with unapproved parts. Why would your explanation be true for the first quote and not the seco

No, you're right, but the fact that Stallman is 70, and "under chemo," and still giving talks would suggest that whatever chemo he's under is relatively easy on his body.

Having cancer myself, I can tell you that there are a lot of misconceptions about what life “under chemo” is like. I’m in a clinical trial for pills now, but when I was doing infusions, the worst of them had me out of commission for about 4
