      Don’t schedule a colonoscopy unless you have symptoms of a GI disorder, or unexplained weight loss. The evidence does not support non-targeted screening programs.

        What should be my default “Remember that you’re getting old!” helpful tip now, then?

            Ugh yeah. I’ve been slowly backing up my wife’s, my parents’, and my own music CDs, and while it thankfully hasn’t gotten to many of them, it’s ate enough to be annoying.

            Especially because my wife’s collection is mostly very specific performances of classical music and operas, which can make finding rips difficult when it’s not a particularly popular recording.

            And the CD-Rs are almost all toast. I’m lucky the old family PC HDDs still have most of the old family photos, so I’ve been able to back them up. Can’t believe we used to think that backing up the pictures to disc would last longer.

            The only problem with those is that saying either of those could easily be misinterpreted as me suggesting that they had misheard/misread what I just said. Colonoscopy works because it is a bizarre enough suggestion that the joke will almost certainly land. But I definitely don’t want to encourage unneccessary medical procedures as a casual joke.

          Your healthcare providers are perversely incentivised to recommend scoping because it’s an easy money maker, but for most people the discovery and removal of benign polyps is not worth the risks that come with an invasive procedure (IV stab to give sedation and pain relief, over sedation affecting tasks requiring concentration, complications due to the procedure itself).
