A radiologist arrives for his first MRI scan.

The radiologist says, "I’ll be right back, I need to go get my dildo."

"Thanks to the mission-driven nature of this partnership, and of public media overall, we'll put the needs of producers and listeners at the heart of everything we do with Pocket Casts" == We are going to add useless features, bloat the app and switch to SaaS model.

Review scores are also a bit offset. I have tried to give the absolute lowest to every metric booking.com gave me to rate and the resulting score was 2.5-ish. I was thinking about making a browser extension that rescales the values accordingly but I just made a mental note that a score 7 hotel is in fact a score 6. With this scaling the scores on the lower end gain more as a 3.3 score becomes a 5. Take this into account if you opt for the lower-middle end.

I think that stating CT scans have a dose of 150 times as much as an xray has means almost nothing to anybody who is in the target audience and can be considered a harmful statement. It is analogous to stating that with a 5 gig data cap you shoul download a plain text version of book instead of a pdf version, because that is 150 times bigger (nevermind the fact that you are losing images and readability enhancing features such as formatting)
