About a month ago I was having some bad kidney stone pain and had to drive 2.5 hours home. I threw up twice in the first couple miles it hurt so bad. Then I hit a pot hole and the pain went away. Check mate, doctors.

I was with Captain Janeway, being chased by Nazis through and on top of a train for stealing their marijuana plants. I don’t ever remember my dreams. I vividly remember that one.
And that’s how I learned the difference between peeing IN the pool and peeing INTO the pool
But you use both of your feet. Shouldn’t it be called feetball then?
2·2 个月前Mote in God’s Eye and Footfall are both great. The Ringworld series is my favorite, but the Heorot series has some great world building.
I’ve been on a Larry Niven kick again and just finished Lucifer’s Hammer. I last read it back in high school, so like 20+ years ago. Definitely hit differently than back then. Before that I had wrapped up Adrian Tchaikovsky’s “Children” series. Most of those were pretty great. None come close to the first one though. I’m about halfway through Project Hail Mary with my daughter, so that’s been fun. And I’m almost to the end of “Mort” by Terry Pratchett.
Keep us updated. I’m really interested. I like his short videos and have been wanting to check out his book.
My dog lost one eye and went blind in the other. We were able to rebuild her.
No, that was why we picked it up. It was in like-new condition.
Literally one of the first dates I took my (now) wife on. She was in an entomology class and I lived in the foothills. I took her on a hike to collect insects for a class project. We also collected a roadkill snake on the way home for her to clean and articulate the skeleton.
Yeah, several times. I often go hiking or fishing on my own pretty far off the beaten path in the high Sierras. Many times I’ve sworn I could hear people talking and sometimes calling my name. Definitely nobody for miles.

4·1 年前Totally sounds like carpal tunnel syndrome. Repair is super simple and has a really good success rate. Usually just a little moderate sedation and half an hour later it’s fixed. It does take a few weeks to recover, but most people I see say it’s totally worth it.
You’re right. Almost makes me think it might be photoshopped.
At minimum every Sunday. Also after work depending on what time I get home; I have a very variable schedule. So I guess, every chance I get.

Finally, a mobile phone! The future is now.
Blood speed isn’t a particularly useful metric. We’re typically more interested in the volume of blood circulated, as that is a better measurement of blood (and therefore oxygen) delivered to end-organs. Most organs are very good at regulating the speed of flow through their supply, and are more dependent on volume of flow.
One of the more useful measurements we look at is cardiac output (CO). It’s just the stroke volume (how many ml of blood is squirted out of the heart every heartbeat) multiplied by the heart rate. This tells you how many ml of blood are sent into circulation every minute. Doppler imaging can be used to show flow speed, though that’s much less useful. Measuring CO is relatively easy to measure and is a useful measurement of how much blood is being made available to end organs. The heart rate is very easy to count or calculate, but the stroke volume does require an ultrasound study (preferably a transesophageal study). For an even more useful measurement, you can divide that CO by the person’s total body surface area to get the cardiac index (CI) this gives you a more standardized number from person to person, which allows a more meaningful comparison than CO alone.
