While not ejaculation, we do get probed (less literally now) over potential prostate issues, groin hernias, and erections. But only for routine visits, since these issues while significant, have little bearing on diagnosing and treating other health conditions.

Women draw the short straw since imaging and drugs all have to take a potential pregnancy into consideration so it’s a key piece of data for all sorts of medical events. Particularly risky when a fetus is hardest to be aware of early on.

Ah, you are right, wasn’t thinking. Never seen one myself, though totality was something to behold, but once even a smidge of sunlight was directly visible, seemed pretty boring to me, I would guess an annular would be similarly be pretty boring, sure an unusual shape but roughly similar to just normal sunlight…

Dunno, she might be very much ready to “give a fuck”

And safe to look at, while in totality…

Outside of totality, meh, sun looks about the same except the shape…

That part was intended as a joke, hence the ‘but seriously’

If the code actually works and is vaguely important, I think you are right.

If anyone ever has to fix it because it’s also broken on top of being a mess, well they aren’t quite so safe. Maybe if you are always available to fix it same day, but if you ever go on vacation and it hits the fan while you are unreachable…

I can’t speak to this situation, but broadly speaking I am familiar with general messed up stuff like this as well as perhaps adjusting some fine details to make the scenario relatable to an audience unfamiliar with the specifics of the real situation and/or obfuscating the details so that the person doesn’t out themselves to someone else familiar with the specifics enough to recognize.

The broad strokes seem plausible and any oddities in details I consider to be less important and/or understandable if it was tweaked for an internet audience.

Of course, I don’t think they really are generally acquainted with the records, not just about hysterectomies.

They will look if something specific comes up, but generally it’s a reference that isn’t proactively consulted, because they have a lot of patients and their record only occasionally matters.

I think it’s not about minimizing someone as just a vessel for a fetus, it’s about the reality that menstruation and pregnancy just have huge medical implications in general, in lab results, diagnostic approaches, and in treatment options. With such a wide variety of possible impacts, it may be easy to forget to check ‘just in time’ in very decision that might matter.

Suppose would someone rather get asked that awkwardly once for a whole visit, or potentially get asked repeatedly as they prepare to perform particular tests, interpret results, or think about prescribing medication.

It’s not fair that such a huge biological thing is incurred by one sex and not the other, but it is just a possibility they have to deal with.

To refrain from asking to avoid that awkwardness increases risk of missing that situation and malpractice for failing to take that pretty basic biological reality into account.

For example, give a pregnant woman Tylenol and boom, autistic baby.

But seriously, as far as I know, your comment is accurate, a lot of treatment options change when a fetus might be in the situation.

If a doctor decided to neglect that possibility and harms a fetus no one was aware of, might get hit with malpractice.

Also I know lab results might depend on either the possibility of pregnancy, or just timing of the period itself.

There’s an eclipse today… you really sholud stop staring at it like that

Well, this is every day, it’s just that the eclipse is the scenario where people are stupid enough to stare at it anyway.

Maybe she sincerely means ‘million dollar company’, a company too dirt poor to pay to have adequate coverage…

Must be owned by Dr. Evil…

Also “lets”.

So what meaning did Nyan cat have? Or rick rolling, or badger badger badger, or most anything that you would have seen on ytmd…

WASSSSUUUUUP

True, but I wouldn’t expect an engagement ring to come out of a shared account…

Mine had to go uphill

Hardware raid limits your flexibility, of any part fails, you probably have to closely match the part in replacement.

Performance wise, there’s not much to recommend them. Once upon a time the xor calculations weighed on CPU enough to matter. But cpus far outpaced storage throughput and now it’s a rounding error. They continued some performance edge by battery backed ram, but now you can have nvme as a cache. In random access, it can actually be a lability as it collapses all the drive command queues into one.

The biggest advantage is simplifying booting from such storage, but that can be handled in other ways that I wouldn’t care about that.

While sas is faster, the difference is moot if you have even a modest nvme cache.

I don’t know if it’s especially that much more reliable, especially I would take new SATA over second hand sas any day.

The hardware raid means everything is locked together, you lose a controller, you have to find a compatible controller. Lose a disk, you have to match pretty closely the previous disk. JBOD would be my strong recommendation for home usage where you need the flexibility in event of failure.
