08/23 - Python Thursday!

[themildone]

anyone want to report back with a time on the Eva Gilboa-Schechtman $2 survey?

 

[katarina]

Today seems like a good day to quit nicotine. Yeah, that's what I'll do.

 

[savvy]

There's a bunch of those soundingbox hits up, but I've yet to qualify for one.

I might have noped out of one. I can't remember.

More coffee.

once I did one I couldn't do a bunch of the others. Then I tried to do one yesterday and it froze, and locked me out

 

[lolkatB]

ooh where did you move from? I didn't realize you weren't from the US.
and I could, but they don't take my insurance so I'd have to pay a minimum of $75 out of pocket AND have to wait for several hours, most likely.

The UK, just over 2 years ago.
Ouch, that's a lot. I'd book him at the pediatricians you don't like and tell the practice he makes you uncomfortable, and ask them for someone with you. Or have a friend with you to go in with.

Go you! Motivation!

Group I 3LHGJL34ALZJCFDEA482BBVR91PO2T new panda for today

But do you plan on gaining 10lbs on this cruise? I always plan for at LEAST 10lbs.

I took my first cruise this year to Cuba, ate like a hog, and lost weight. But then again I'm currently seeing a doctor for why I'm losing weight and no change in diet/exercise.

 

[Kennedy]

Also, good morning everyone!

 

[jan]

it's a town of about 11k, there's only 1 other pediatrician and they don't take my insurance. I've talked to a lot of people about this doctor in particular and almost every one of them refuses to take their daughters to see him. There are other doctors at this office thankfully, but you can only pick who you want to see if it isn't busy.

is he just old and stupid (and out of touch)
or old and really creepy?

I definitely think the latter...I mean, who tells a 16 year old that she's probably

CUBA! I am so jealous. I want to go to Cuba very badly. Some day!

Losing weight without trying is scary. Hope you figure it out!

My friend had an MD like that years ago. I'm afraid in the not too distant past - MD's DID say that quite a bit.
But not today (and they shouldn't have back then, either). IDK, you need to assess whether or not he's a danger, I'd think.

That particualar comment was in 2010-ish. I don't think he's a danger, necessarily...he never actually did anything inappropriate (touching or anything). I just don't like him. I'd probably also feel stronger about it if kiddo was a girl, though.

 

[Tandem In Time]

Have you been working on them for at least 5 hours? Just trying to get something straight cuz he told me in email that the maximum time for working on these are 5 hours and then the soft block happens.

I was up bright and early yesterday when @Sondi first posted about them at 3:00AMish in my time zone, and I finished the last one I was able to catch around 11AM or. So I was 100% definitely working on them for longer than 5 hours.

Thanks! I was pleased at first, but now I'm like hmmmm.....this isn't right. So far, haven't found the answer. Good news is blood pressure and cholesterol went down with it, so there is that.
And if you go to Cuba I highly recommend one of the food walking tours. Of course, I like food. By your posts, I think you might, too

That man needs to get his facts straight. @Noah

Codeacademy's free Python starter course

Free version of UMich Coursera prof's Python 3 course

IIRC, an ever-increasing chunk of Harvard's CS50 course (free on EdX) is in Python.

My mom had an overactive thyroid at one point. All her life she'd had borderline underactive and the docs never treated her with the weight struggles that go along with that. She refused point blank to go and see the doc when she started losing weight without even trying. I lived a few hundred miles away, so while I recognized her symptoms and knew what was happening, I couldn't make her go and she was determined to enjoy eating all sorts of 'bad' food and still lose weight. I think when she did go to the doc she weighed 88lb, which was a bit of a difference to her normal 140.

Seeing as I can't do Noah's I'm off to a very slow start.
