I'm sure there are specialists who make $600k a year. At least around here, primary care docs make around $200k max. Even if they're making $600k, that doesn't even begin to explain why hospital costs are so high. Some nap

Why shouldn't they? I never said they statistically do lead to higher salaries, just that it's reasonable to compensate someone who has put that much money and time in should be compensated for it and I don't begrudge the ph

I guess I feel like someone who did 8 years of school and I believe 4 years of residency which altogether generally costs them over $100k should be compensated for those expenditures of time and money. I don't feel that an aspirin sho

My understanding is that dogs and some other mammals don't experience the same extent of paralysis as humans during REM sleep. I don't know the reason for it, but dogs flail in REM sleep. Scared the crap out of me when we first

If you find that article, I'd love to see it. I know a bit about plant hormones, but most of what I remember is some of the growth hormones degrade in sunlight, which can cause the apparent growth toward the sun. So if you have a ste

I would look up the ladder before blaming physicians. It's not the high salary of the doctor that's inflated the cost of medical care. It's insurance, middlemen, overpaid administrators, and the general move to for-profit m

Horseshoe crabs aren't crabs. They're distantly related, although both are arthropods. Not much brain activity going on there. But honestly pain and suffering are so hard to nail down outside the tetrapods. I'd say the fac

Poor pup. Our girl ate a lot of stuff, including my cell phone early on. Was not housebroken when we got her at a year old either. She is now, certifiably, the best dog. Dogs require work to fit into your life. I don't understand h

Very common and feels very natural to me. "You have to be kidding me" "He had to have been kidding" "He had to have been kidding me" or the rougher "he had to have been fucking with me" and "he

A samoyed though? Beside being a spitz breed and not super social outside of the family, they don't seem like a bad choice. I have to admit that I haven't known too many though. The impression that I've gotten is that they&

Big pink riding elephant would be the more natural sequence to me if there are any non-native speakers who are curious. I know there's an established order of types of adjectives. However in this example, it's more of a part of

I could see saying "she'd had to have been watched" or "they had to have been watching her". Both sound very natural to my ear. Observed to me feels more like they're looking at every minute detail with some

Absolutely agree. I'm a native English speaker who has dipped their toes in Spanish, Russian, and German. Spanish vocab was easy except for some deceptively similar words with very different meanings. Grammar came fairly easy in spi

For all my effort and research, I'm sure I've flushed more fish than the average person. I don't even want to think about what percentage of the animals I sold during my time there lived their natural lifespan. Not many, I&

It wasn't my race or ethnicity that kept me from seeing it. It was my upbringing. As soon as I started spending time with people who had different preferences than me, I realized what I was missing out on. I had the same thing with

I've got a friend who keeps an eye on the big humane society in town. She's adopted an iguana, some pigeons, and is trying to talk me into a couple quail. The shelter has no idea how to house or home these animals. The pigeons

Spotify made sense to me because I could pay $10/month and have all my music downloaded. That's a lot cheaper than what the data would have cost me to stream. I canceled my subscription after the third freaking time all my music

I never would have thought to make chili lime chips. I never would have even tried them until I spent time in the southwest. Now I'm floored they weren't a bigger thing sooner. And tajin. You can get it in most of the country,

He also claims he gave the pitch to a guy that didn't even work for the company when the products were being developed. He may not even realize he's lying. Things get foggy after 20 years. But that doesn't change the truth.

There's dorito products out there that are extremely similar to Takis. I don't know the timeline though.

I was more irritated that they took away the ability to let videos play with the app closed and then immediately brought it back as a premium feature. And the ads have gotten ridiculous. That wasn't a big deal until they completely c

I did have fresh-caught blue crab when I was living in New Jersey. Once I figured out how to eat it, it was amazing. Fluke and striper straight from the water to the oven. I don't miss the coast, but damn do I miss the food.

Definitely New England clam chowder. I'm not sure I'd like Manhatten style. You're just teasing me now with this Hatteras style. I don't think there's a good way to get decently fresh clams to the middle of the c

My advice to anyone who talks to me about wanting a cockatoo, or any large bird really, is don't. If you're asking me about them, then you don't know what you're getting into. If you don't intend to devote a subst

Good article. They rightly attribute the reuben sandwich to the Blackstone hotel. Anyway, I'm enthralled by the idea of a lobster roll. I had clam chowder one time when we were in New England and it blew me away. I ate the pint and

Just like YouTube. At least they're adding features and not just taking them away and making you pay to get them back.

I enjoy tarot and the like. There's nothing magic about it. For me, it's a tool that helps me think more broadly about what is going on. Every card can be interpreted in multiple ways and you'll find a way to apply one of

I went through that whole thing in high school. High school was miserable. College was better but exhausting. Being an adult is way more fun.

I prefer to look at it from the other angle, which is that all vertebrates are fish. I had a professor who was mainly an ichthyologist, but overall a really old school natural historian. He always said that we were all just highly derived

It's called pollarding. There's also quite a few trees that can be a pain if you want them gone. You can cut them down to stumps and they'll just send suckers up and try to grow again. My dad has been having it out with a l
