That's been my experience with doctors. Even our kids doctor, who we see multiple times a year. My mom has a fairly good relationship with her doctor, but she worked in the same hospital with him for 30 years.

Does anyone know how a Pi4 with 8gb ram would hold up compared to a six year old mid-lower tier laptop? It's something I've been curious about for a while and really just waiting for the point where a RaspberryPi-type device is ad

I believe the correct interpretation is: They ran the study periodically from 2000 to 2018. At each point, they surveyed groups, of which, one bracket was "men aged 18 to 24". Within that bracket, one third of those surveyed repor

A thing I've noticed is that they stopped mentioning the daily numbers on the radio (NPR, more specifically Iowa Public Radio). It's sort of like the media has extracted all the juice they can from the pandemic and now we're
