The totally off-topic thread

[drross]

I don't have any direct knowledge but the system looks to be a good screening method. But, having had a melanoma in the past, i would not fully trust pseudo-systems. If you have a doubt, go to a specialist dermatologist. It could save your life or possibly save you a lot of money from misdiagnosis.

It's ok. It's dermatologist 'owners' will tell you it's fantastic, but it misses amelanotic melanomas and has trouble with some SCCs. BCCs it's definitely accurate. Most good GPs ( especially rural ones) are as accurate. The study was published in the MJA or similar a few years ago

Do QR have real time apps?

In Sydney, I use the public version of an app which on many occasions has been very useful for me (both with customer questions & getting myself around).

We're starting to roll out iPads to guards (like pilots would use an EFB) & for real time information exchange. The trial for drivers is about to start. I'm going to try & get on the trial.

Not sure if they have any apps but their website had no announcement regarding trains not stopping at certain stations so not sure who would have updated the app.

Poor customer service.

BS! Market Fresh is the way ... avoid the Walmart style at all cost, buy nothing that's not in season try buying local!

When you buy 'Market Fresh', are you really buying fresh? Something to ponder, perhaps over a soy latte.

"Facile" might be a better word than "easy" here.

I'm afraid it's all frozen for you Maybe, try living in a better environment

Until then, avoid putting any Chinese [-]berries[/-] "anything" in your mouth....

We've had to reschedule a few games this season due to a frozen pitch (concrete base on this one) however today it was just the dusting of snow on top, cleared it off and we were good to go

Was going to make a comment about the MoleMap but on second thoughts....... Better not.

I guess I'm more interested in their success rate. If they say something is suggestive of melanoma and it needs to be checked are they likely to be correct or say 1 in 4 or is it way out. Given they are independent I though they might be accurate.

Big Tip ... avoid FF product wrapped in plastic, placed in freezers, Made in China stamped on it or sold in supermarkets.

I hope not. Interestingly enough, statistically if you have had a BCC it puts you in the high risk category for melanoma. Or so I am told. Have no idea what Bowens is but am familiar with the others.

I've had 2 of these. One on top of my head and the other on my chest

Gotta love CNN geography.

Normally we leave that island off the map so it is little wonder that CNN is confused.

And I suppose there's enough Australians who don't know that Hawaii and Alaska are part of the United States?

Must have been a cold day in the UK yesterday for these meerkats.

 

[Pushka]

Meerkats are so cute but that programme is just really traumatic to watch.

Too damn hot in Adelaide lately and so dry.

Are you sure this is not the English cricket team in a huddle after the NZ match? Jeffrey Boycott might suggest it would be helpful to put them under some heat.
