Our cat had follow-up x-rays after radiation treatment for a thymoma. Cost for the 3-view X-rays was $605.00, and the consult with the radiologist was $189.00. Bay Area, but still...

True but as the vet in the article states she couldn’t be sure that the extent of the problem was just the corn cob without an x-ray so to me it would seem more logical to take the x-ray once you’ve decided on surgery.

Alternate day "fasting". 500 cals every other day or just two or three non-consecutive days a week (I usually do Tues, Thurs, and Sun). Don't worry about what to eat on any particular day and on non-fasting days eat whatever

Probably the easiest ski resort to get to is Gala Yuzawa. They literally have a train that goes right to the resort. https://gala.co.jp/winter/english/access-en/

Source? Yearly colonoscopies sound dubious - my google search results said they use fecal occult blood tests yearly with a follow-up colonoscopy if you test positive which sounds more reasonable to me.

But that’s also highly dependent on how good the doctor is at finding the problems. Apparently doctors in the US find precancerous polyps 40% of the time according to the article. That may not be so great given the time between screenings (

I never quite understood this fear that you're going to lose some benefit of the insurance you have now. It's not like all the hospitals and doctors suddenly go away so if you have a preferred doctor or facility you'll most l

20 years ago when I started there wasn’t anything I experienced that could be called coaching, mentoring, or leveling up. Sure, I could get some time from a more experienced developer to get another set of eyes on a particularly hard proble

That's an interesting wrinkle on what should be an otherwise tractable. Perhaps the government should subsidize the transaction fees in some way like they subsidize the oil companies.

Shooting road signs is illegal. Go to any rural area and count the bullet holes in any road sign with a deer on it.

Fair enough. I agree turning off the lizard brain is impossible so if I misread your comment in this way I apologize. I was more referring to "people are going to have sex when working together, even when just men", which I agree

Sex is normal - making rape lists and sexual harassment/abuse is not. There’s quite a bit of consensual middle-ground between “sexless Victorian vulcans” and outright sexual harassment/abuse and the latter shouldn’t be tolerated r

Did this in college for some side money. It was definitely "easy" money as well as a view to some interesting characters and business, but now I have some scars in that area that once made a cop suspicious that I was a junky lol.

Maybe this is something Uber could add to the app. While you’re waiting from the driver to arrive they can play an in-app video for you going over the safety features of the particular car you will be riding in. Kind of like the pre-takeoff

Yeah of course you wouldn’t in the cases where you’re using an Uber or taxi, at least I don’t, and the problem isn’t limited to just Teslas but potentially any car with an electronic door opening mechanism. I assumed we were considering peo

I think they are also more generally useful in case of an accident where you find yourself pinned and the seatbelt won’t release or the door is damaged and won’t open. At least that is what a friend said they wish they had had when they saw
