The former. It doesn't quite roll off the tongue, but with my (Australian) accent the difference is minor.

Yes, with MRI brain too. I was on 4/year, but that number is reducing as time goes on without recurrence.

I have multiple scans a year. "Scanxiety" is real.

Spot on. And dealing with false positives sucks. One caveat is that regular PET isn't so good in the brain - there is so much metabolic activity that everything glows. So I get an …

Linde was definitely around as a distinct brand in Australia before they bought BOC in 2006, but since then as you said, they now just trade as BOC.

When have they ever claimed that?

As others pointed out, these are stage I trials and these are patients that have had other treatments already. In particular the melanoma patients had already had other immunothera…

The testing here is not just that it is safe on skin, but the SPF test itself is done by slathering it on humans and exposing them to light to determine a rating.

Also the club scenes, with a bunch of regulars from Hellfire/Black Market, on Regent St. (Now a cafe supply store.)

https://youtu.be/Y5K9HBiJpuk I think Petter's (Mentour Pilot) delve into it is quite good - there's a lot of detail I hadn't known.

It's easy for (say) AWS to terminate your EC2 instances. Do they also delete your DB backups? Delete your S3 buckets? All of these incur costs. How hard a cap do you want?

One big trial still going: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT03739931

There's a bunch of different immuno types for melanoma (and other cancers). That one is a combo of nivolumab (aka Opdivo) and relatlimab. Nivo is used a lot for melanoma, also comm…

It does launch an instance and take a snapshot but what's happening is the sysprep and OOBE stuff that can take 10 mins or so (you can find it in the console and startup logs). Tha…

This is seeing great results but unless I'm mistaken, this started stage III in July 2023: https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05933577
