Oh, I know they are great. I had a sinus issue going on and it was one of those super-doc’s there that found the problem. My idiot dentist up here while doing 3 root canals decided to drill through my jaw and into my sinus cavity. The posts of the crowns are sticking out inside of my sinuses. I was in perpetual agony for 3 years before this doctor found it. My niece is one of the directors of the family medicine division and my son works for the school.
They pay a lot of students to allow them to do medical research on them too so… there’s a lot of good but God only knows the long term effect of some of that stuff on people.
One of my best friends and band mate is a prof there. Nuclear Physicist. Very conscientious. Everyone I know or have met so far do their level best. He’s also damn good on keyboards which is what I’m most interested in, lol.
And yes, the people who get a salary from the school are fully aware of the pitfalls of various areas of research. They aren’t dumb, they pick their battles. U of M is a very good employer.
We don’t mate, we choose to talk about shit like this. It’s easier than freaking – nope, nope, nope. This is the one place I don’t rant about politics, don’t drag me in, it’s too easy .
God. … Did our movies really used to look like that? And the really surprising thing is that isn’t actually from the 70s, it’s a 90s spoof. (That is a shot of Austin Powers yeah?)
EDIT: You can google search images now, I always forget that.
I did ask for a refund but they were like “But they’ll be here today, you sure?” And I was like…grr…fine, IF they’re here today. And like 5 minutes later “Just opned the box, they’re here, shipping yours now!” so-- yeah, just general “Shit happens” kinda thing. I dunno if I’ll shop there again, maybe, might give them another shot if this shipping is as fast as it’s meant to be now that things are actually happening and I already know that they’re not a “always open” kinda business, I don’t really mind that sort, just it’s a really annoying thing to find out AFTER you order AND your order has issues.
I do know I’m not going to mention their name tho, it’s a fair compromise regardless whether I give them another shop at a later date I think, because I’m also not going to mention them when I get the mod in and do my vape mail photo-shoot (and I usually do, like a good little consumerist >.>:)
