    I follow what you're saying, and I think we're talking past each other a bit, and it's definitely not worth arguing over. Thanks for the clarification and effort!

    Yeah it's just the sort of thing that makes me think they didn't do their prep with a lawyer. I'm sure they were upset about it, idk how they thought they'd win this.

    Eh, without googling further than I have he apparently has a statistically notable number of foot shots in his movies.

    Is it even a problem? Idk. But if you make movies people will comment on what's in them. I suspect personally it's the sort of thing that people wouldn't have commented on 30 years ago and then like 15 years ago or whatever it just sort of added up. I guess I also know about a Royale with Cheese

    I know I'm the oddball for not having watched his work either way.

    But the sound of construction! Or something. I haven't been able to figure out what the actual opposition is, because there always is something but it's so vague our county/cities don't respond to it

    I have never watched a Tarantino film, and I'm at a point where I'm fine with not having to figure out why I know he's got a thing for feet despite that. I'm shocked he's only 62 though, I thought...

  20. Comment on Woman diagnosed with sickle cell at two months old wakes up without pain for the first time after new treatment in ~health

    This treatment requires a lower % match and lets people better retain fertility than previous ones. But also she had to find out about and advocate for getting this treatment herself.

    But then she learned that Johns Hopkins, the hospital where she was being treated, had a new sickle cell treatment research focusing on partial bone marrow matches (formally known as haploidentical bone marrow transplants), and she could try.

    After learning that her younger brother, Dakota, was a 50% genetic match, Thompson underwent the necessary protocol to prepare her immune system to accept and maintain the transplant's foreign cells. By late July 2024, she finally underwent the two-hour procedure, which is described as similar to a blood transfusion.

    Thompson's doctor, the director of hematology at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Robert A. Brodsky, published a study revealing that the aforementioned research now has an overall 94% disease-free survival rate.“[A cure is now] available to the majority, almost the entirety, of sickle cell patients,” Brodsky said.
