The article was pretty interesting, however (ass joke)
That's rude usually one asks first.
The worst part is the prep.
Don't make us send a probe!
I'll be the one buzzkill here and link to the European Space Agency's press release and the corresponding open-access paper.
You can pretend this comment is a South Park reference instead if that helps.
Thank you!
Fuck you, that made me chuckle and i couldn't explain why to anyone at work why i chuckled.
Buy me a drink first, JWST.
Jokes on you, my doctor took a peak just last month. π₯
Side note: if youβre over the age of 45, get yourself a colonoscopy.
Side, side note: you can elect to be awake during the procedure.
I don't work in GI, so grain of salt here, but iirc colonoscopies are usually just done under sedation - so you might fall asleep, but you might just be drowsy and too high to care. This is as opposed to general anesthesia, in which you are 100% out, and intubated so a machine can breathe for you.
There's always some wiggle room depending on patient preference though. Generally if it's a procedure you have the option in, take the least invasive option you can tolerate. General anesthesia's fine until there's a complication, then things get bad fast... rare, but much less rare than complications with sedation or local.
James Webb peers deeper, goatse the universe.
Did they find any Klingons?
You dirty old man.
Don't need a telescope to see your mom's.

Anything good in there?
