granted, I feel like maybe a review of lab equipment regularly is not a bad idea. in my low level undergraduate summer job, we realized all the stuff I did in those 3 months were moot at the end because I end up running some blanks on the pipetting robot and discovered that some glitch resulted in progressively less material being pipetted towards the end of the tray vs. the beginning....
not my primary field, but I will say, though, from the folks we see in our clinic, nowadays w/ ocrevus/kesimpta/rituxan, patients are way more stable and dealing with way less side effects than 10-15 years ago.

Tell that to Trump and his glorious way of bombing Iran. Nothing against the idea itself, the Mullahs all but asked for it to happen.
But the execution? That was a level of dogshit I haven't seen in the time I was alive lol. Even Russia was better prepared with their invasion of Ukraine.
Both Trump and Netanyahu had a somewhat solid perspective on not getting utterly wasted in the next elections. Instead they go on one of the most ill-prepared wars in modern history, with results that may seriously upend the global economy if not lead us to WW3 outright.
I mean he's even not that great at his chosen profession which is a television news media personality, although I am sure he knows what he is apparently trying to do, in that regard.
>>Mac suck even hardware side form a server point of view, for example it's not possible to rack mount them, it's not possible to have redundant PSU, key don't offer remote KVM capability, etc.
Granted, I think it would be valuable to look at all sorts of automotive ECUs. I always wonder how the tuning industry does their thing; I shudder to think they're just sitting there flipping hex codes directly in running software...
