No need to be sad: the Oasis never had a USB-C version.

Are you documenting this with any particular software? Any interesting resources you can share that have made this project easier? I have a bunch of paper records for one side of my family that was passed along to me and would love to work on the other half but am not sure where to start.

Big shout out to the Mormons, whom have been digitalizing ancient birth certificates all around the world. We got a lot of data from them!

I'm Mormon, and doing family history research is one of my favorite church activities. Appreciate unexpectedly seeing us mentioned in a positive light online!

Read them for what they are (fictional novels with allusions to truth and fact) and you will truly enjoy a good story!

On the go video / photo editing is AMAZING on my iPad! More power speeds up some the effects / transition editing. Batch processing, all with a device that has great battery life and is smaller than a magazine. For super heavy stuff, sure, use my Mac, but when I travel and want to be productive on the go, the iPad is awesome!


Does the 1 day old account have any type of source or information to back up this claim?


Yep, NIST does open, unclassified research. Hard to see the point.

Would be curious to know (if you're willing to share) how you were found if you were working to obscure / encrypt your communications. What _was_ it that ultimately gave you away or allowed them to ID you?


I'd be curious as well, though I completely understand if they don't want to talk. Someone should write a book just listing the usual mistakes.


Would love to see a picture of this setup and your thought on the brands / models you have. I’m in the market for new monitors / setup and yours sounds very much like something up my alley.


The very first line had me interested:

> My annual MRI scan

Not sure if he has an underlying health condition that necessitates an MRI scan yearly or if this is part of his preventative medical regiment (much like an annual physical).


> an underlying health condition that necessitates an MRI scan yearly

Elevated piles of money


Annual full body MRI has become a trend. Not sure who first started promoting it, probably Peter Attia.


I thought radiologists need to know what to look for in order to diagnose something? Do they brute force every potential condition in the body that can be detected with an MRI?


Exactly, because an MRI is not a simple "shows problems" machine. It provides a very simplified model of certain aspects of the state of the body. We very often can't know if parts of that state are a health problem or not.

To my knowledge, studies have not shown any benefits of regular full body MRI's. You might find a problem, or you might find a non-problem and in the process of fixing it (aka operation / medication) you create a problem. Those two effects seem to balance out each other on average.


> I thought radiologists need to know what to look for in order to diagnose something? Do they brute force every potential condition in the body that can be detected with an MRI?

No, when they read a scan, they're supposed to read everything visible for every problem. Think of it this way: if you break your leg and they take an MRI, do you want the radiologist to miss a tumor because he was focused on the break?


About how many "parameters" do they evaluate roughly for a full body scan? And is one typically qualified to evaluate across the entire body or do they specialize in different areas of the body?


I don't know, but I've heard from doctors (many times, sometimes quite forcefully) that it's a radiologist's job to call out all abnormalities on the full image they get, and the reasoning makes sense.

I suppose a full body MRI would be very expensive and take a lot of time to read.


My biggest beef with Outline is that I can initially use Markdown, as soon as it is saved, you cannot see the raw markdown again for editing.
