No, just a standard test, so the typical parameters + glucose + cholesterol. On top of that liver function tests. I'm aware that tumor markers have a significant false positive rate, so I wouldn't try that unless I had reason to.

Recently YouTube again started recommending to me channels of people who died of cancer. I looked at a clip of a man just a few years my senior where he was describing the symptoms that in his view should have made him go see a doctor earli

I wouldn't sweat about it. In my ~40mln country the construction sector (that includes renovation, landscaping etc.) outnumbers the IT sector 3:1. Lead times for having things done around here are ridiculous, which is why I believe the

How long was the commute from your place? The rail network in and around Zurich is reliable and punctual, so you can live anywhere along that 30km long lake and still have your commute be 30-40m, without needing to search for a parking spot

Similar experience here. To me the limiting factor is, for lack of a better expression, the speed of taking responsibility for the agents' output. I can't sign off a 1000 LoC change in 5 minutes, it's just not possible. For t
