OMGVBFLOL posted:it comes from the campaigns to get women doing self-exams and mammograms to increase early detection of breast cancer. and it was wildly successful, My mom worked 25 years as a technician doing mammograms and when she retired a study came out that death reduction % attributable to the program was in the single digits. Mostly because when you have an aggressive form of breast cancer you're as good as dead by the time you find it (either as lump or on a mammogram). Most of the reduction came from improvements in treatment which you can argue is due to increased awareness, I'm not knocking it mind you. e: here it is https://www.bmj.com/content/359/bmj.j5224 Knitting Beetles fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Jun 5, 2019 |

Got around to watching Everest 2015, it looks pretty but it can't decide whether it's a doco or a movie. It doesn't do a great job on the characters, and doesn't explain what was so controversial about the real events at the time. Current seasons make this drama look piffling, and the mistakes are still the same. You're better off watching a doco like The Dark Side of Everest.

OMGVBFLOL posted:"in the single digits" for cancer is a big fuckin deal Yeah, you don't hear about it much, but medical science has made a lot of headway against cancer. It doesn't get press because there hasn't been one big breakthrough. It's a lot of single-digit reductions in various types that have added up over the last couple decades.

we watched this the other day, if you want to watch a harrowing as gently caress survival story I have you covered....... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkOmvxOcr4E His extremities freeze and his fingers start breaking off, while his mate succumbs to hypothermia and goes crazy. They are lying trapped on a thin ridge of mountain. A helicopter finds them but can't rescue them so they fly away and leave them for another couple of days of Hell.

Captain Hygiene posted:Ironically it was the exact opposite for that goon. Yeah, it was the greatest thread ever. I particularly loved the irony in him pushing a cart filled with random crap, sleeping outside and carrying a crappy homemade cardboard sign just generally being crazy to promote awareness of mental health issues. Like yeah buddy. People are aware of hobos. They know all about them. Cosplaying one doesn't really raise awareness about them, nor anyone else's mental health problems. Just your own. Hope that guy got some help eventually.

I can recommend Etna, it's like 3300m so a little thinner air but not dangerously so, plus it's a friggin' active volcano.

gschmidl posted:I can recommend Etna, it's like 3300m so a little thinner air but not dangerously so, plus it's a friggin' active volcano. Living at reasonably high elevation (for the US), that's right around where I start noticing some difference in more strenuous hiking, above ~3 km was very noticeable and took some time to get used to back when I lived closer to sea level. It boggles my mind that Everest base camp already starts out not too far off from the highest peaks in the US and you only go up from there. That kind of kills most interest I have on going there just for the hiking experience, it looks stunning but not really something I want to deal with.
