Correction: March 6, 2018

Because of an editing error involving a satirical text-swapping web browser
extension, an earlier version of this article misquoted a passage from an article by
the Times reporter Jim Tankersley. The sentence referred to America’s narrowing
trade deficit during “the Great Recession,” not during “the Time of Shedding and
Cold Rocks.” (Pro tip: Disable your “Millennials to Snake People” extension when
copying and pasting.)

Back to Frankenstein's Monster for a second.

White Wolf released a rule book for these types of beings called Prometheus: The Created.
No matter how smart or beloved or beautiful the created are, eventually the people around them go crazy and try to murder them. People can just tell that something is "off" as a game mechanic.
It's a really neat system to be quite honest.

Gastrointestinal and digestive disorders account for one in ten consultations in primary care and the same proportion of referrals to specialists. The costs of investigations and prescribing for gastrointestinal complaints are considerable. Decisions about commissioning and clinical governance in gastroenterology require primary care input and national policy in gastroenterology also needs to be informed by GPs and their community based colleagues. The PCSG is ideally placed to provide educational resources, advice and support through consultation with committee members and dialogue with our large and experienced membership.

Since our launch in 1985, the Society has forged strong links with several organisations both nationally and internationally. Bodies such as the British Society of Gastroenterology, the Royal College of Physicians, NICE, and the RCGP all consult us regularly on gastroenterological subjects so that policies and guidelines can be influenced by primary care.

We also represent GPs who carry out endoscopy in both primary and secondary care settings and on JAG, and we are developing processes of our own to support appraisal, revalidation and accreditation.

Our committee and the PCSG membership are strongly placed to offer advice to colleagues and our industry. Our mission is to promote primary care gastroenterology. We believe that education, clinical excellence and research are essential and the opportunities to contribute to health care immense.

The dude could cut an album in a studio and play every instrument and probably a bunch of the engineering work as well.

Wasn’t the first Foo Fighter’s album (or demo, i can’t remember) basically just Dave doing everything?

First demo. Except for one guitar part, the entire demo was himself and he completed a whole album of 15 songs in 5 days. The guy's basically an unstoppable music juggernaut who only kept his talents a secret because he was intimidated by Kurt Cobain's skills.

It's crazy to think that yeah, it's basically a demo, but most of it got packaged as the official debut album and was certified platinum seven months later.

e: It's a shame about his whole AIDS denial conspiracy nut nonsense, though.

That’s Nate Mendel’s doing, which also reflects poorly on Sunny Day Real Estate.
