Tout ça pour diffuser de courtes videos de merde indésirées et addictives dans 90% des cas. C'est tellement triste en fait. On se détache de la nature, de plus en plus, dans une fuite en avant qui cause notre perte. A tous les niveaux.

Je dois pondre un rapport de 5 pages pour relater mes "accomplishments" de ces 18 derniers mois, dans l'espoir (réaliste) de transformer mon poste en poste permanent. t+1.5 mois ma femme se trouve un cancer, t+11 mois elle semble sur la bonne voie, t+13 mois, on me trouve un cancer... CV d'enfer.

71% du reste je crois et Saturne 21%. En tous cas c'est que je raconte pour justifier que je m'intéresse à ces planètes :)

Trop d'information en peu de lignes: 1) les bébé dauphins ont donc des poils sur la mâchoire ! "On pensait" peut être mais pas moi :D Merci pour ce post, qui comble mon ignorance. On en apprend tous les jours.

I always feel guilty it's never enough. Kids are sleeping, it's 1am. Time to stop indeed.

J'avais essayé mastodon il y a une paie mais c'était super chiant. Comme passer de mac os à un unix des années 90. Merci du tuyau, je vais retenter.

Cool, bravo ! Comment on ramène plus de français sur bluesky ?

That's what this awareness month should be about: 1) Annual checks are the bare minimum; 2) Mammographies don't always allow tumors to be detected; 3) Being aware that misdiagnosis is common.

We will never get back those seven months. It will have a cost on her health, on her body, on our family. If it was taken when she had her first concerns, it would have been a small stuff, the therapeutic plan would have been very different, and the chances of full healing higher

At that point she had to stand up, find another doctor, and convince the next doctor to take her seriously. The next doctor suggested her to go to a private center (not covered by insurance) if we were that scared. In the center, it took them a minute to diagnose the cancer.

Thankfully, in July, my wife got the courage to not trust her when she got told "I don't see any tumor here, come back in October for your scheduled annual check". How many times was she told that it couldn't be a cancer because she was breastfeeding and less than 50 years old?

We figured out too late that the nice OB-GYN doctor was only good at showing babies waving their hands in ultrasound images of their pregnant mothers. Regarding cancer detection, she was poorly skilled. Who knew? We lost seven months.

My wife has always been particularly careful regarding her health. As soon as something looks weird, the next day, she is at her doctor for a check. Nevertheless, that kind of thing happened to us.

All of this only helps us to live normally and cope with the fear that a major disease breaks into our lives.

An aggressive and massive breast cancer is the typical kind of thing that we all hope and assume that it won't happen to us. Because annual checks are done, because the doctor is known to be among the best in town, and the town has a major university hospital, etc.

Exactly like Patrick for me. It's a my-parents' generation name.

Not sure about the German word, but it's a typical German situation that I'm experiencing on a very regular basis. Daycare closes early, you have to pick your child up, you take care of them and then it's 10 or 11pm while you though you could have done something before and it's late to work.

Compared to the Cassini spacecraft, JWST has better sensitivity and better spectral resolution at some wavelengths, and also additional wavelengths that Cassini didn’t have at all. So - new Saturn system science!

Is it a new structure?
