P.S. That's a question mark at the end of your first sentence—not a period. ☕

I mean, I was basically acting like some stereotypical American patriot over there too.

Anyway, catching Beckham's plays... loving that.

Is there actually one single "Great American" out there who knows even the absolute basics of grammar or how to write in plain English? Or I guess... does a "Great American" even need to bother with stuff like that?...

Regarding that bit about CT scans from Tudor:

Nowadays, neurosurgeons are constantly being asked if they should run a head CT for even mild TBIs. It’s likely—or will be soon—that anyone who loses consciousness will need a brain CT. In one study, 57% (!) of patients with a mild TBI (GCS=15) showed pathological findings on their CT.

Can you imagine? 57 percent had pathology. 😲

And I guess all of those are cases that wouldn't even get a CT scan here in the States. 😁

Oh, and just for context, the Glasgow Coma Scale goes up to 15 (I've actually had a lower score myself), but since these were people with the highest/best scores, it means over half of them still had a pathological CT (meaning it wasn't clear). 😲

Generally speaking, a mild TBI is classified by a GCS of 12-15, moderate is below 12 (down to 8), and anything below 8 is considered severe (down to a minimum of 3).

But seriously, can someone please explain to people that a CT scan isn't just some harmless little thing you go in for whenever you feel like it... there's radiation involved, after all.

thanks 🙂

Wait, what game was going on last Saturday afternoon? It was the US against some guys in red jerseys...

Man, I remember seeing some cartoon a long time ago... but honestly? I only have a few random frames stuck in my head. No clue how long it was or what else happened... just hazy memories.

And if you're asking about a movie version—nah, haven't heard a peep about that...

especially those scenes shot on the streets of San Francisco, all that downhill chaos and then jumping onto some moped... total nonsense
