Finally found it. In the Main Square you go down that side street where the guy is standing next to his scooter. Then you turn left through the gate and there is a little rocky outcropping there where the temple is.
At the state level, by far the most common reason for long sentences are violent offenses. At the federal level it is more often trafficking at distribution scale.
There are always stories, but the majority are the above. If you have a state in mind we can look at the data together.
It's rather difficult to do enough bad things to get a lengthy prison sentence these days. Usually requires a violent offense in the context of significant priors.
If you're interested in doing hard federal time, I would suggest you consider interstate trafficking of distribution quantities of drugs.
That's how I did undergrad. Wasn't even much of a note taker, usually just paid attention during lectures and did the reading. That's not enough for the insane volume of information you have to learn in med school. There are certain subjects like physiology that are very conceptual but even there you need to know quite a bit of detail, and then of course the memorization heavy topics like anatomy, microbiology and others.
There's a reason Anki is used so heavily by med students these days.
If I hadn't stubbled upon this essay and Anki, I think by way of a Wired article, I'm not sure I would have gotten into or passed medical school. They were eye opening and turned me from an average smart student into a leader of my class. I had planned to keep doing my cards after moving on to fellowship but alas, life gets in the way.
I mean...if the system accommodated that appearance it would have been one of the best designed systems in the world. There are a lot of edge cases here.
It's a fun read but, just like his other books, very one-dimensional characters with no depth. Not really remarkable literature, more of a bunch of Wikipedia articles strung together.
Move fast and break things in human medicine means unethical researchers maim and kill people, often marginalized people. Nazis, Japanese experimenting on prisoners, Tuskegee airmen syphilis experiments, Cincinnati radiation experiments and many others stand as testament to what ambitious unethical scientists will do to further their knowledge and career. Thus we have strict guardrails that slow down how we do things.
Even simple studies are expensive and difficult. You need IRB approval, data collection and organization, staff to do those things. It seems simple from the outside but making it happen takes time, effort, and money which then means also applying for grants which is a process in and of itself.
There was a recent panic/hysteria there about banning Twitter from many subreddits because of hate speech. It was incredible how quickly people were begging to have a website banned when they could either choose not to visit it or down vote posts they didn't like. Really soured things for me by illustration how much the median values changed from when I started using the site.
A cardiac electrophysiologist advances a catheter into the right ventricle and then deploys this directly onto the heart muscle. This is only a little bit smaller than existing leadless pacemakers which are in wide use.
I think the common thread in airline pricing for the past decade has been that consumers want to pay the absolute least they can for every flight, disregarding almost everything else about the flight/plane.
I'll just say from a demo perspective: Bold move using presumably real email addresses and credit cards on a live stream like this. I feel bad for that restaurant since I'm sure some jokers were trying to reserve all the table as soon as it popped up on screen.
