North Dakota used to be quite progressive historically, just going the other way fast in the last few decades.

The fun part of North dakota is the extremes. The record low (without wind chill) is -60 F, the record high is 122 F. That is a 182 degree spread, or 100 C spread for the rest of the world.

I have not stopped wearing a mask for patient visits since 2020. And I will not stop until I leave medicine.

There are jobs in ND but not much else. Cost of living is good but higher than a lot of the Midwest. Colder and windier than upstate, usually a bit less snow though. Summers are arguably better in ND. Flights are limited and more costly. Get used to driving distances instead of time. It's an ok option for the right person.

Those are now blue balls.

Running Cyberpunk with Ray tracing on high settings was pretty neat. I could only get medium at best before. The 3770 is still pretty solid for a medium teir hpu even after a decade. But will bottleneck pretty much most cards over the 1080.

I just went from a 3770k with a vega 64 to a 7800x3d with 7900xtx. Pretty big jump!

It's raining in the Dakotas today, usually I'm ice fishing

90-95% of imaging cost is the technical fee. An ultrasound is usually 0.5 to 1.0 RVUs roughly. So let's say 1. The RVU rate for radiologists right now is around $45-60 an RVU. So of the $2k for the ultrasound, a Radiologist will make about $50 of it.

There was one last year as well.

95% of earth unseasonably warm. "Point" to 5% that is unseasonably cold, see there is no "global warming." This crap is all over Facebook.

I think it has turned into a sunk cost fallacy for so many now. They put so much money into it they can't afford for it to fail/not continue.

You are still not half as confused as the average libertarian.

In the early 2000s Ticketmaster began to really take off. The fees and extras really started to bother me. So I stopped going to any events that used them. Other than a few state/county fair events I haven't been to a concert since 2001. Because of Ticketmaster. I have no regrets either.

Link doesn't seem to work. His name was Andahl in ND.

My state GOP representative died of COVID weeks before the election and won. Gotta love red states 😩

A lot of us in healthcare stayed pretty stable. I don't know of any that did "better", but other than elective stuff, day to day dropped only a little. About 9-10% of Americans are in healthcare. I do know a lot of delivery services did well too.

Febtober.

As a North Dakota I'm surprised by the resignation. There is almost zero accountability here. The GOP and more so Maga has taken over. The DNC/NPL is basically dead here. The right gets free reign. ND is in a rough spot politically and I do not see a fix for decades. At one time we were a state that had to fend for itself and became a success story for socialist programs. Farmers coops, state bank and mill. Progressive prison system and produces top notch schools and exported highly educated people. It is all reversing because of greed driven by oil and gas. Write us off we as we will not help progress society or help this planet due to greed and corruption.

I remember reading the NM one happened in a aquarium, but it is still counted. Bull sharks do travel up the Mississippi River and tributaries and have been reported in IL.
