I think PK meant a CT scan for HIMSELF for the stroke he would have had from the outrage at what was done in the case...

Gramps is decidedly not a term of endearment in American English, certainly not for a stranger. He was being a punk.

The first one I'd chalk up to his mental state, horrible as what he said was. Three weeks of detox and he might not even recall the incident. Second one was just being a complete asshole.

Reading between the lines of his profile, it doesn't sound like it's at all likely to be a good time unless it's a fetish of yours. Sounds like he wants to sit back, do nothing, and take your money.

But what show?

What is this from?

Eh, are ICUs normally nearly that full though? I was under the impression COVID patients on ventilators require a lot more hands on attention than the typical ICU patient. I visited my sister in the ICU a few times (not COVID, recovering from sepsis) and tbh staff weren't in the room nearly as much as I expected they'd be during my visits.

I wasn't talking about with PreP, I was talking about the 138/10,000 in the absence of PreP and the expressed surprise at that figure as "low." In the context of how often most people have sex that's not "low" at all, people just are really bad at probability estimation with multiple events.

Given most people have sex multiple times, a greater than 1% chance of transmission each time adds up pretty quickly. If you just did it once a week you would expect to be HIV+ by year-end.

Injectable PReP may or may not be a game changer depending how promptly people come back for their booster shots. It's pretty easy for something to come up and make you miss an appointment and then it takes a week or two to reschedule...

That's assuming they are dutifully taking their pills every single day. The vast majority of people on any daily pill regimen miss some number of pills. Yeah,if they're missing one or two a month likely no change to that stat. But what if they're traveling and forgot their pills and it's been a week? How soon do you become infectious again? This happens with ANY daily regimen, BTW not just HIV. I take a cholesterol med that I fully intend to take every day and probably on average once a week I forget. Given HIV isn't something where you immediately feel worse upon a skipped dose, it's unlikely that compliance is higher than average.

I had read it as the guy just got up and left before he could get paid, not that the norm was him to literally ask for the money each time. But I agree the phrasing was unclear. If the fee was known beforehand in general you should hand it to them or leave it somewhere clear for them to pick up.

It's really not that uncommon in the uber-religious parts of the US for there to be women with grandchildren older than some of their kids. When you marry at 18 and aren't allowed to use birth control, and the next generation does the same, it's inevitable.

They've been posting on facebook this week, so it appears so.

I mean, would you want to date him or are you just annoyed at paying and that it's on his schedule?

While intellectually I understand the concerns about consent/altering the body etc., I just can't get worked up about it. There are some benefits for circumcision as well.

unless they're rugby players. It's kind of a thing among rugby teams to get custom Budgy Smugglers.

If he's had a sudden unexplained weight loss he needs to get to a doctor for a full workup. Especially if it's something like diabetes, which can strike at any age and weight.

I would think with a likely commercial real estate crash looming there might be an opportunity for new baths to open up in some cities.

Prior to the advent of IVF, I remember the Guinness Book recognized a 57 year old woman as the oldest documented to give birth. Looking at the "pregnancy over 50" article on wikipedia, it looks like she was on hormone replacement therapy for menopausal symptoms, not trying to get pregnant. And the same thing happened to a 59 year old woman in the UK more recently.

If you google image search "Scott Anthony Playgirl" you'll see him on the cover of the Dec 2002 issue.

It's amazing how quickly norms have changed. When I was a kid, my parents who had had me at 38 and 42 were often mistaken for my grandparents, as so many of my friends' parents had them in their early 20s or younger. (It didn't help them that my oldest sister was 12 years older than me and fully grown at 5'10" and could pass as a young adult when she was 14...). Now MOST of my friends who had kids had their first one after 35. And a few after 45. On the one hand, older parents have more financial resources. OTOH it's extremely physically demanding and when you have kids that late odds are the grandparents aren't in such great shape and may need assistance themselves rather than being able to provide it.
