This data is from 2006. Over 20 years, there has been substantial progress in CT radiation reduction through model-based iterative reconstruction and now ML-assisted reconstruction, aside from iterative advances in detector sensitivity and now photon-counting CT.
In clinical practice, those doses are about 2-3x what I see on the machine dose reports every day at my place of work.
In thin patients who can hold still, I've done full-cycle cardiac CT and achieved a < 1 mSv dose. We are always trying to get the dose down while still being diagnostic.
I had no shop class in my middle school years 99-2002 but technical theater is the closest thing that may still sneakily exist in many schools. I learned basic carpentry and electrical, including lighting design and sound, all in the service of making sets for the yearly plays.
The quote is “markets will tumble” by which he clarifies that it will be a temporary market overreaction not “crash the economy” like it’s 1929. Those are qualitatively different things.
He intends to make the market crash (or at least is taking actions that will almost certainly crash it), but he thinks it will recover afterwards. The first part is pretty certain with what they're doing. The second part is almost impossible to predict, because no one can really say what the break points are (i.e. how much it can crash and still quickly recover afterwards). See the mortgage crisis of 2008 for what an unexpected runaway effect looks like.
RE horizontal - there is a ribbon cable that can literally fracture which causes the Zr and Zl buttons to quit working which only really manifests when trying to use 1 joycon horizontally (personally when Mario party happens).
The repair takes about 20 minutes the first time you do it and the ribbon cable is on amazon for about $7.
"Ich war am Spielen" is not really Standard German. It's a West German/Ripuarian dialect form that people from that area sometimes use when conversing in Standard German. But yes, it does communicate the progressive aspect in the same manner that "I was playing" does in English. I agree that "nouning" the verb is an arbitrary distinction.
Even if you want to give this one to German, English also has the prospective aspect, which is missing in German (prospective "I'm going to play tennis", vs. perfective "I will play tennis").
It’s because oral minoxidil requires a ramp period and some people can become symptomatic. If you browse Reddit or other forum threads about it, look for a discussion on “sides”.
There are several papers in the dermatology literature suggesting low dose oral minoxidil for hair loss. I think dermatologists or hair surgeons who do this every day will know the literature. The average pcp likely won’t unless asked.
The argument I’ve seen is that management of these companies is heavily invested in commercial real estate themselves, so corporate management has a conflict of interest in RTO in that it benefits their personal investments rather than the company.
Management is usually heavily compensated via the stock of the company they are managing, precisely to align incentives and overcome conflicts of interest like that.
But it's pretty clear these CEOs leverage their assets to invest in things they can directly use to make liquid. They can't sell their stock options but they can take out loans and get real estate.
