The tuxedo looks like Lemur!

Don’t worry, I thought the same at first but my sales rep made sure to set the record straight! It looks like it launched 2 years before SpaceX’s… no pun intended haha
Subaru Starlink is Subaru’s own service; it shares a name, but is NOT the SpaceX Starlink!

One kitty.
One desire.

Right now, in a kitchen near you.

Still with Wake Forest though 🎩
Today was a GREAT day to wake up and be a resident of the great state of Connecticut, my first time doing so in over 18 years 😁
Oh awesome, thank you @citybeautiful21.bsky.social!
Been getting an influx of followers after months of inactivity. Not that I’m complaining (hello all!) but any idea how this is happening?

20 years and I’m still really bad at social media. Here’s some pictures of the outdoor kitties snuggling up together last night 😻🥰

We got it.
DAT BELLY 😻 👋

Fascinating- I went to Brazil some time ago for just two weeks but stayed with a host family. It took several days for my accent to return to normal upon getting back!
This is one of those no-brainer, expected findings that was, surprisingly, fairly underreported.

Princess Chloe: the prettiest kitty in the world.
Two weeks without a cat pic. I’m ashamed 🙀 here is Princess Chloe, the prettiest kitty in the world:
“Our editorial team has reached a decision to publish the above referenced manuscript, which you recently peer reviewed and found to be fundamentally flawed, on the basis of Reviewer 1’s three-word review recommending Accept.”
It is sometimes assumed that the presence of competing risks requires the use of a Fine-Gray model (we have seen it in referee reports), but this is not correct. The model may often be useful, but is one available option among many. Grasping the big picture for a multi-state dataset is always a challenge and we should make use of as many tools as possible. It is not always easy to jump between observed deaths, hazard rates, and lifetime risk. We are often reminded of the story of the gentleman on his 100th birthday who proclaimed that he was looking forward to many more years ahead because "I read the obituaries everyday, and you almost never see someone over 100 listed there."
This reminds me of asking a room of epidemiologists to raise their hand if they've heard of the term 'selection bias' and concluding it is evidently well known by the general public.
There are two problems with the pcmbad fit. The first is that it attempts to estimate the expected occurrence of plasma cell malignancy (PCM) if all other causes of death were to be disallowed. In this hypothetical world it is indeed true that many more subjects would progress to PCM (the incorrect curve is higher), but it is also not a world that any of us will ever inhabit. This author views the result in much the same light as discussions of survival after the zombie apocalypse. The second problem is that the computation for this hypothetical case is only correct if all of the competing endpoints are independent, a situation which is almost never true. We thus have an unreliable estimate of an uninteresting quantity. The competing risks curve, on the other hand, estimates the fraction of MGUS subjects who will experience PCM, a quantity sometimes known as the lifetime risk, and one which is actually observable. From Therneau et al. (2023) Multi-state models and competing risks
On the importance of accounting for competing risks during the zombie apocalypse--I mean, in survival analysis:
Yes, usually. I think it’s interesting to read an author’s more authentic voice, which usually shines through in sections like those.
