@LessPop_MoreFizz The problem is that the legal standard is not a real standard. It's what a group of people who are not physicians (lawyers, legislators, judges, etc.) determine to have been the proper outcome.

OK, I've gotten back down from my soapbox and taken a cold shower.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Meanwhile, I just spent that time watching the car chase scene from The French Connection.

So good.

probably the best car chase scene ever filmed

David M

@LessPop_MoreFizz Well, at least my soliloquy gave you time to watch it. LOL

Seriously. Check dat chase.

70s NYC was AWESOME!

When I was a kid, the city had a little edge to it that made it electric sexy fun to go there.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DavidM What's funny is I've driven the length of that chase route many times. Aside from the ethnic character of the area changing, it's pretty similar.

David M

05:12

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah. Where is that run again?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DavidM Bensonhurst mostly, heading up Stillwell Ave.

Riiiiight.

@LessPop_MoreFizz There and the Bronx are the few places where you can still see the old El tracks.

> Under Friedkin’s direction, Egan and Grosso became ‘Popeye’ Doyle (Gene Hackman) and ‘Cloudy’ Russo (Roy Scheider). The real life Egan and Grosso worked as advisors to the film and as actors in it, taking on two minor roles. They also ensured that filming was not interrupted given that Friedman shot many scenes without the necessary licenses and permits. Egan and Grosso’s presence on set discouraged anyone looking too closely into the paperwork.

> Over forty years later it seems incredible that Friedkin was not initially keen on the idea of Hackman in the lead role.

> I cannot imagine anyone else playing Doyle and Hackman’s Best Actor award is well deserved as his portrayal of a tough, racist New York cop is outstanding and the car chase sequence, with Hackman behind the wheel, is one of the most iconic moments in film history. Watching it today it is clear that many of the collisions, which made the sequence so effective, are actually real.

@DavidM So, funny story about that

Steven Soderbergh is directing a new TV show

a Medical Drama called The Knick, set in Knickerbocker Hospital in Brooklyn at the turn of the 19th into 20th century.

David M

@LessPop_MoreFizz When is that going to air?

LessPop_MoreFizz

They did a ton of location shots on Broadway in Williamsburg because they needed the subway platforms

and just redid all the storefronts and poured dirt all over the road.

David M

05:16

Also, have you seen Ronin? Great car chase scene in that one, too.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Williamsburg has reached it's logical conclusion.

David M

That's pretty awesome!

@LessPop_MoreFizz You seem like you'd be a fan of Copper.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DavidM I've heard good things but not gotten around to seeing it.

David M

@LessPop_MoreFizz I really liked it.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DavidM What's funny about these photos is that the actual businesses behind the false facades here were kept open and still doing business between takes.

So you'd see chasidic women walking in to their butcher shop that was suddenly labeled as an old timey gun dealer.

David M

05:19

@LessPop_MoreFizz They must be paid heavily for the use, though.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DavidM oh, I'm sure.

@DavidM But it was funny to watch the chasids wandering through this looking very confused.

David M

@LessPop_MoreFizz The chassids are like Jewish Amish.

I'm Jewish . . .

They're a whole different species.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DavidM dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2491193/…

Professional photos

(of a different set for the same show.)

But yeah, the reason they worked in Williamsburg was because they needed those elevated platforms. Which, I guess, aside from signage, are still sufficiently 'authentic' for their needs.

@DavidM Yeah, I'm Jewish too. And yes. Also, they are the worst fucking drivers on the face of the planet earth by several orders of magnitude.

You wanna talk about Malpractice? How about for whatever driving instructor passes all the Chasids on their road tests? THAT's malpractice.

David M

@LessPop_MoreFizz The Chassids dress in the black coats, etc. because when they left Poland in the late 1800s that was the height of fashion.

They just crystalized their culture and haven't accepted anything new since.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DavidM Yeah, prt much. And they're so insular that nothing has changed since.

I have no problem with the Modern OJs. But the Chassids grind my gears.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Also speaking of 70's NY movies:

Did you hear they made an arrest in the Lufthansa heist from '78?

As in, the one from Goodfellas?

David M

@LessPop_MoreFizz YES!

I wonder how they got around the SOL on that? Because there was a murder involved?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DavidM I think just straight up RICO

spugsley

@DavidM Pretty good right now :) Went to the doctor and he's pretty sure it's a bacterial infection rather than viral. So antibiotics it is :)

David M

@LessPop_MoreFizz That doesn't have a statue of lim?

LessPop_MoreFizz

05:31

@DavidM Nope.

David M

@spugsley Yeah, viral would probably have run its course by now. But, antibiotics are not typically necessary for gut infections. Did you see a GI doc or just a regular doc?

spugsley

@DavidM regular doc. He gave me Cipro. (I'm allergic to penicillin so idk if that has something to do with the choice)

do you mean that usually a stomach infection goes away on it's own?

David M

@spugsley No, Cipro would have been the drug of choice regardless.

@spugsley Usually it does. Your gut tends to regulate itself.

spugsley

@DavidM oh ok :) Well the feeling better could just that it's been over 2 weeks. I ate oatmeal, crackers, and toast today. Big improvement

before it took me like 6 hours to get through like 10 saltines.

David M

@spugsley Yeah. That would make sense. The other thing you NEED to take. Probiotics. I recommend: Florastor and Culturelle.

They're both different and do different things.

spugsley

05:34

@DavidM I've had a bunch of people tell me that recently. I'll look in to it

David M

@spugsley Specifically those two.

They're the ones that have been shown to be effective.

Saccharomyces boulardii

Saccharomyces boulardii is a tropical strain of yeast first isolated from lychee and mangosteen fruit in 1923 by French scientist Henri Boulard. It is related to, but distinct from, Saccharomyces cerevisiae in several taxonomic, metabolic, and genetic properties. S. boulardii is sometimes used as a probiotic with the purpose of introducing beneficial active cultures into the large and small intestine, as well as conferring protection against pathogenic microorganisms in the host. However, in immunocompromised individuals, S. Boulardii has been associated with (fungemia) or localized inf...

If they give me a DB with ~500k records spread over multiple tables, and they end up conflicting and then blame me, that will result in a pretty massive blame backfire.
