And not in the good way, either.

I think for me, it would depend what I do for a living. If I croak suddenly and unexpectedly at my job, or even while driving, I am risking few (if any) people (unless itâs something contagious like COVID, then it depends how many people I was in contact with, and where) but a bus driver or pilot or other person who is physically responsible for the survival of others? Absolutely should a) know and b) maybe not take that kind of job.
But thatâs just me.

Well, it turns out that an MRI with whatever-that-IV-fluid-is, likely wonât detect one. But a CT scan and/or angiogram could. Thereâs a procedure (similar to(?) or during(?) an angiogram) to close it off with a coil. Aneurysm can be genetic so if a predecessor had it, one should consider looking into it.
Speaking from extremely fortunate experience (not involving the coil)âŠ

Perhaps: I bet most doctors would happily volunteer heart condition metrics, like obesity, with greater accuracy in predicting sudden death.
Planes, at least, have copilots for precisely that reason.

But they also have a very strict medical certification system. Even recurrent kidney stones can ground you.

Fuck cancer.
That said, surviving pancreatic cancer for this long can be considered an amazing win, and must have been a huge effort. Pancreatic cancer often kills people within two weeks.
Youâve been though, Mr. Lewis. Fare thee well.

Lucio Urtubia, anarchist, bank robber, forger and Nazi hunter.
18.07.2020: Social rebel, counterfeiter, bandit, modern Robin Hood â the list of titles with which our anarchist comrade Lucio Urtubia was honoured is long. His life, which sounds like an adventure novel, is a mirror of the revolutionary movements in Europe in the second half of the 20th century. Lucio Urtuba passed away today. Rest In Power Lucio!

Anyone involved in the capture of a Nazi like Klaus Barbie, the Butcher of Lyon, is worthy of remembrance.

Beyond his own hugeness, he was also Erdosâs road manager. A very sad loss.

He was also the director of information sciences at Bell Labs during the period that they came up with things like Unix and C, and was personally responsible for a number of important advances in scheduling theory. He was an important contributor to things that directly impact everyoneâs lives every day.
