It's not an infarct either. It's an extrinsic stenosis which, as depicted, wouldn't be enough to cause thrombosis and even if it was tight enough - the thrombus would form downstream of the restriction until occlusion of the artery, rather than forming like a dam.

An infarct would be the damage to the tissue caused by ischaemia, as a result of loss of arterial supply.

What OP needs is an image of atherosclerosis, preferably in a coronary artery.

Thanks for starting this community. This one is probably my favourite, but your sword shine tutorial is also really interesting.

I've long nursed a temptation to make pixel art. What program do you use or recommend getting started with?

That... would've been a good idea to try ha.

Careful now, my tea-philistine-friend, or else I shall taunt you about your orange fellow.

Ah, who am I kidding, our respective states are just two pigs wallowing in shit.

In this case, what they're trying to convey here is that it is not women (as terf rhetoric would imply) who are driving transphobia in the country.

One cannot draw that conclusion from this data. There are still >30% of negative female respondents.

I'm not saying terf rhetoric is correct, just that this data is unrelated.

If chess.com's rankings are to be believed, none :/

WE spend more than other countries per capita

Sorry, what's your source for that? ONS says we're pretty on par with our peer countries, whilst King's Fund says we spend a fair chunk less than peer countries.

I agree with the rest of your sentiment. We need political reform to decrease opportunity for cronyism, with tighter controls that don't rely on a concept of honour.

There is an argument to be had about increasing efficiency of the NHS healthcare system - but a big part of that efficiency might come from investment in it, both in a resource sense (more infrastructure, more equipment) and a staffing sense (higher pay = retain better talent).

Apparently human breast milk is sweeter than cow, so it would probably make great ice cream.

I doubt it has anything to do with deliciousness and more to do with taboo and the fact I doubt there's many volunteers to sit around being milked.
