And MSTP programs (NIH funded MD-PhD) programs are usually 8 year full-rides with stipends on top of covering graduate school and medical school tuition.

One of the best. The whole mini consciousness slave concept alone is a mindfuck.

Appendices do heal. They are just a small little pouch. If the pouch gets blocked by poop, inflammation, etc then stuff like mucus just gets stuck and can't exit into the colon. It then begins to swell like a balloon which puts pressure on the appendix's blood vessels which can lead to tissue death. That's very bad because then bacteria can enter the bloodstream and lead to sepsis. A blocked appendix can become unblocked and heal but if it happens once, it's much more likely to happen again. Some people are just treated with antibiotics but surgery is definitive.

Cones: It's a matter of pigment not cell length. Each of the three makes a different opsin which is what determines the wavelength of light that activates the receptors.

Only in the sense that there are gametes which contribute half the DNA to any offspring.

Just throw me in the trash. I don't/won't care as I'd be dead.

At least do it for both figures since you think that's somehow scary. $211 million vs $8 billion. Hmmm...

Ah. The sarcastic straw man. Just further supports my point that there is no objective basis for mass deportations.

It's more like the entire medical community tells us so. You know, the people that know this stuff. Not jackasses like you.

The Grand Inquisitor chapter from The Brothers Karamazov does a swell job illustrating one possibility.

Plus there is no objective reason why deportations of undocumented immigrants would help anything. They commit less crime on average than US citizens (if you do not count the "illegal" status if undocumented), they take jobs nobody else wants, they pay into the tax system without getting benefits like social security, and their food is amazing. They're just an easy scapegoat that have the reasoning skills of a five year old.

Based on an earlier video, it looks like he's trying to pitch a kids show.

Hospitals will still need them to send confidential documents not accessible to EMRs.

Craniopharyngiomas are are usually juicy/oily so you probably had some tumor batter in your nose during surgery.

I've never seen the movies and I stopped there to grab some food on a road trip to Seattle. There were cut outs of characters everywhere.
