I started snowboarding at age 42 and loved it! I was having the same debate. It had been a long time since I skied (Mt Brighton!) and had moved to the Pacific NW. Went for family lessons and had the same questions. The instructor looked at me and said “If you wanna snowboard, then you should snowboard!” Best advice! Definitely be prepared to fall a lot on the first days and definitely do private lessons. Look - if it’s absolutely terrible on day 1, you could switch to skiing on day 2.
I actually find snowboarding easier on my knees than skiing.
It uses the near field communication (nfc) chip on your phone. Just have the ticket open and hold it close (just like it says). Slide to the next ticket and do the same thing.
I have been having trouble with FireFox on a number of sites. I am currently using Edge - the new version is based on Chrome but is less resource hungry than Chrome
I'm in Lake Oswego - also still a green area. We're doing fine but a lot of people in Clackamas County have lost so much. I work in EMS/Fire and emergency medicine and have spent the last 3 days trying to help save the universe through Zoom calls from Fire Dept conference rooms.
I'll just put this out there. I read the board but don't post a whole lot and I don't read them all the time. For background, I am an ER doc who also does a little bit of public health work. Here's my 2 cents.
- This thing is a real problem and the mortality rate for patients over 60 is significant. My friends in Seattle are getting crushed and we are about 2 weeks behind. It is more than the flu, but it's not a Michael Crichton novel.
- "Flattening the curve" will reduce peak load on the healthcare system but may not reduce the total number of people infected. There is actually debate if closing schools helps or hurts but overall social distancing does seem to help. We should plan on continued social distancing for a while (at least 8 weeks).
- Testing is really important for public health monitoring purposes. My public health side wants to know where it is, how easy it is transmitted, and the true case fatality rate.
- Testing doesn't help me take care of patients. There is no specific treatment for COVID19 and management is basically supportive. Patients with any resp virus can get sick quickly, especially the elderly. If you test positive and have a viral respiratory infection, you should stay home and isolate yourself and practice safe hygiene. If you test negative and have a viral respiratory infection, you should stay home and isolate yourself and practice safe hygiene.
- You should go to the emergency dept if you have difficulty breathing or have chest pain - always. You should not go to (or call) the ED just because you are worried that you have COVID-19.
- BTW, flu season has picked back up. There are lots of resp illnesses going around.
- This is all going to pass and we'll all come up for air. Don't panic and don't hoard.
They added the play in games when the # of conferences with auto bids went from 28 to 32. They did want to reduce the total amount of at-large bids - so they just added more spots. The 11 seeds are play-ins because those 4 11 seeds are usually the "last 4" that squeaked in. Almost everything worse than an 11 was a poorly ranked auto-bid.
Was there last night. Dame was unconscious and was clearly pissed off about the whole all-star thing. Curry "only" had 34 and sat the whole 4th. Warriors bench actually let them down.
We used to use a compnay called Old Hat Creative and the videos would be available on their website. We are no longer listed as a client on their webpage. I don't know if the production has moved in house or to a different company.
My son starts at Oregon State next week. Was a great family trip - but better for Dad!

Actually multiple trials have been completed. They have been small but the short answer is that it does not appear to change the outcome in sepsis.

Don't call the ER. We don't take advice calls and we are really kind of busy right now. Call your PCP or advice line.
W. How about they get a W?
