Agreed, seems like a no-brainer. Typically this stuff is handled at an institutional level, with bad professors losing/ failing to achieve tenure. But some results have much bigger implications than just "Uh oh, I cited that paper and it was a bad one." Often, entire clinical pipelines are developed off of bad research, which wastes millions of dollars.

Good riddance, Tom Bombadil. I don't care how merry a fellow he was, those were my least favorite chapters of Fellowship.

Touche, forgot this was PatientGamers. Grim Dawn is basically the same sans MMO. It's the best ARPG I've played like, ever, and it's due for a huge DLC soon. Goes on sale for very cheap often.

Unlike Last Epoch, it's more item-focused. Unlike PoE, the items aren't a total nightmare to optimize...

Very interesting - I haven't hit a single bug during my play.

A handful if my PoE friends have picked up Last Epoch which I've found to be more approachable. Little less MMO but a very similar game.

To be fair, my job involves very sensitive medical data. We've seen entire businesses shut down because of data breaches.

I'm 100% so far at my job, but we had one test that tricked somewhere around 30% of employees. They spoofed everyone's supervisor and made it look like an urgent Teams message was pending.

Usually, if you get phished you lose your bonus. They made an exception that one time.

In grad school I worked with MRI data (hence the username). I had to upload ~500GB to our supercomputing cluster. Somewhere around 100,000 MRI images, and wrote 20 or so different machine learning algorithms to process them. All said and done, I ended up with about 2.5TB on the supercomputer. About 500MB ended up being useful and made it into my thesis.

Don't stay in school, kids.

I've never seen anything like this - cryptic board games, akin to cryptic crosswords. Anyone else know of games in a similar vein or genre?

Nah. Fenced epee for a bit in a college club. Height advantage was pretty great. I guess it just depends on the weapon.

There are options to buy premium currency, but even after the massive update last week you can still play for free and have a blast.
