Jim Thompson

Given the tone of the thread you'd think engineers might tend towards religion given the trouble some seem to have successfully accepting "uncertainty."

Relax. the situation either is or it ain't. Nothing to be done about it either way and what it actually is will inevitably become apparent in time. Why stress oneself more than one has to.

I messaged Aaron once asking how he was doing, said who we were and respect fully wished them well, but have not heard back so far. I think we know mor e or less though.

Ha!

I don't even regard the members of this group as a representative sample of human civilization.

Most of us know more about electronics than the average sample of citizens. Some of us may not have a complete grasp of what might be meant by "civili sed behaviour", and others may have perfectly rational doubts about the vir tue being polite to people who don't appreciate quite how ignorant they ar e.

True ignorance is shown by OT political posts, and of course responding to those posts.

ot medically recognised and didn't actually work.

silent until much too late for effective treatment. Jim was "lucky" in tha t his cancer blocked his bile duct relatively early, which meant that the d esperate measures could be started unusually early, but chemotherapy balanc es the risk of killing the patient against the risk of not killing the canc er, and it pays to come quite close to killing the patient.

There is a significantly heightened risk of stroke

well I mentioned it so duh

it's free

just experimental at this stage

it has worked, I wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise. You literally don't know what it is you're even talking about. Why don't you come back when you get a clue, which I'm sure will take a very very long time.

Not sure who you think is stressed, and I'm not sure of what the stressor is supposed to be. Mikek

But you didn't provide any kind of link to it.

e,

But you have to pay through the nose to stay at any place where it is admin istered?

But who is doing the experimentation?

There's been a spontaneous remission in a patient who was getting it?

Obviously not. That's what I'm complaining about. If you want to boast abou t knowing about a magic treatment that you happen to know about, you have t o identify it in terms that let other people work out what it is.

ery very long time.

If you were the character dishing out the clues, the wait would be infinite ly long. You seem to be a gullible twit, without any actual knowledge to sh are, but with a desire to be seen as having access to esoteric information. The risk with that kind of information is that it is mostly worthless, and if you hide it from examination this isn't immediately obvious, as you hav e clearly learned.

It's not a particularly common personality disorder, but most of us have ru n into examples, and can recognise the markers.

Well, he was already retired for the most part. Maybe he just decided that this 'speak easy' hole in the wall wasn't worth taking a gander at any more.

He always hated me. But I blame KRW and Larkin (and a few others)for that. And the fact that JT was not very able to handle humor when it was directed at him.

Man, after all these years, you are still an absolute retard as it relates to something so simple as that of how to use your Usenet news reader client properly.

Look, retard boy... YOU do YOUR OWN filtering right there in front of you, dumbfuck!

Stop pissing and moaning about yet another subject which it is 100% obvious that despite you being here using the tools, you have zero clue as to the features available on them.

Stop blaming everyone else for the fact that you are a lazy slob who would rather be a cry baby here in Usenet than a man.

It only proves that you were very likely never a man in any setting throughout your entire, inane, pathetic life.

He was just crabby. I sent him beer and stuff, and he liked them, but it didn't make him any friendlier. I hope I didn't contribute much to his pancreas problem.

Thankfully my father rarely got crabby even at the age of 91. About the closest he seemed to ever get to a serious depressive episode was shortly before he died when he received some kidney test results that weren't too good. "There's stuff I still want to do, son, but y'know...I'm just old! And my Mom and Dad and sister and just about everyone I used to know is gone. I just get really tired sometimes."

I asked him if he was feeling afraid and he said "Nah, not too much. Whatever happens happens I guess." "Yup. Whatever happens happens" I said.

He fell ill quite suddenly one morning about two weeks later and died the next day. Naturally from something not at all related to the kidneys (which he cracked a joke about just shortly before he went to sleep the last time.)

Jim was very much a Marmite type. You either loved him or hated him. I never quite worked out what it was about you that he found so offensive. Back in the late 90s, I was in and out of his killfile at least as frequently as you, but for some reason we eventually patched things up and he became as nice as pie and has been for the last 15 years (to me at least). I think he had a bit of a chip on his shoulder from his childhood, having had polio and being picked on and had the shit beaten out of him by jocks and whatnot was bound to have a lasting effect on anyone and I believe that was why he was so prickly and easily riled in later life. Sigh. I'm gonna really miss him. :( :( :(
