Seems pretty decent

Not quite the $2299 9800X3D/5080 from last week, but best I’ve seen in a few days. It’ll be interesting to see if tomorrow’s deals exceed this.

5070Ti Build - $1699 @ Walmart?

Haven't seen much about this today. It was this price back in July and folks seemed relatively positive. 16GB of RAM and CPU could be better, PSU might be a problem? But 5070 Ti is tempting.

What am I missing?

Very quick thyroid scan, normal?

I had a thyroid ultrasound this morning at a hospital outpatient imaging center and was surprised by how quickly it was over. Other imaging incidentally found a 1.5 cm thyroid nodule, so this ultrasound was ordered to evaluate it.

From the time the probe touched my neck until she was finished was probably only 2–3 minutes. I was maybe in the room for 5 minutes total.

The tech had me lie down, lift my chin and turn my head slightly. She seemed to take a few images/measurements on each side, but there wasn’t much sweeping that I could tell, and the whole thing was extremely brief. She didn’t explain what she was seeing and just said afterward that my primary should have the results within a day.

I may be reading too much into it, but is that a normal amount of time for a thyroid ultrasound, especially when there’s already a known nodule? My previous ultrasounds (on other parts) have generally taken 10+ minutes and involved a lot more scanning.

Can an experienced tech complete a proper thyroid/nodule study that quickly, or would you be concerned about whether the exam was complete?
