A decent man, taken too soon. I liked "Dilbert", but Scott Adams commentary and opinion were sorely needed. "the meaning of life, is to give life meaning" ✡ Ani Yehudi אני יהודי Le'olam lo shuv לעולם לא עוד | |||

Wow. This hits home in a couple ways. He wrote a few books that I really liked as well. “The Dilbert Principle” and “God’s Debris”. | |||

I've been watching his morning podcast for a long time. I knew it was getting close, I think he did as well, he started having guests. Back in May when he did announce the cancer he was of the opinion he wouldn't last the summer. I'm glad he got to see 2026. _____________________________________________ Proverbs 3:31 "Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways." | |||

I so identified with life in cubicles as he captured it in his strip. It was like he was in the same cubicle farm as me. | |||

Very unfortunate. He was one of the few mainstream 'creatives' that was openly conservative. Anybody who worked in or around a corporate office environment, could find humor in his Dilbert comic. I think it was around early 2000's, and just about every other cubicle where I was working had a Dilbert cut-out, calendar or, some Dilbert-thymed item in their space. | |||

Very sad to hear. He uniquely captured the idiosyncrasies of modern work life. More than once I encountered situations that I felt were essentially real life Dilbert episodes. Bill Gullette | |||

Never got into Dilbert myself, but he sure seemed like a decent guy. Prostate CA blows, and it’s not a fun way to die. My best friend was recently diagnosed and is under advisement for “watchful waiting”. I told him that I get that sucker yanked out yesterday. I think too many guys are worried about their peckers. That boner won’t do you any good if you’re dead. ________________________________________________________ It is long past time for a Convention of States.

RIP Scott Adams I enjoyed his humor for decades and I think a lot had to do with him having actually spent years in corporate America (banking and then telecoms) so he captured the idiosyncrasies very well. This comic is from the days of physical bulletin boards, and I don't know how it stayed on the bulletin board in the engineering dept for years because two of the asshats that caused this to be true at my employer walked passed it several times per day:  More recently, I began seeing excerpts of his podcast on Twitter/X and enjoyed his outlook on life.

Yes, his brain was too active to accept his physical reality and pushed the due date. For those familiar with his podcast -- The Simultaneous Sip All you need is..

The key is to actually watch, not just wait. For most men it will be a very slow growing cancer, but for some it will be fast and aggressive. Doing very frequent psa testing and whatever else they have these days would be wise. PSA and Gleason score can rise very quickly if it is aggressive. And, for many men there is no decent PSA test history to look at, so when they bump over 4.0 there isn't much to go on to determine how aggressive it is. My grandfather had no PSA testing and didn't go to the urologist before he had pain. The doc said watchful waiting and did nothing for at least 6 months. By then it was too late. Statistically on average something else would kill an 80 yr old just diagnosed, but his was aggressive. What I wouldn't do is wait 6-12 months before doing another PSA or having whatever the best practice imaging is these days. | |||

I heard PSMA Pet Scan is a newer better test. My urologist said he doesn't have any experience or much knowledge about it. Lovely. Lover of the US Constitution Wile E. Coyote School of DIY Disaster | |||
