the flat voltage curve is only really a problem for LFP which is not really used in smartphones due to low energy density

perplexed about the value proposition here

I’m not sure if there’s something specific you’re asking about regarding the age thing. presumably you wouldn’t ask “is having a kid a mistake” unqualified, the answer is obviously pretty unique to your situation. being 52 doesn’t categorically make it a mistake, but IMO it pushes it into that direction.

he’s sponsored the raise the wage act in the last five meetings of congress

i have this one and its pretty satisfying https://muji.ca/products/manual-paper-shredder

me giving an eight minute answer about how there is no creature in the karmic cycle of rebirth more deserving of contempt, devoid of the most basic essential life force that binds all other creatures on earth, wouldn’t spit on if on fire, continued failure to be devoured by locusts basically single-handedly disproving the existence of a just creator, etc.

researcher: ok I’m gonna put that down as Strongly Disagree

yeah uh… im also kind of unsure what OP meant here. there is no direct battery analogue to an LNG tanker because there’s nothing to tank. ships that run partially or entirely on batteries are absolutely a thing, but they’re not doing it in order to move the energy around.

i mean, i think it just helps children to emotionally navigate a serious illness, which is something that everyone eventually experiences. if you’re fortunate enough to experience it after you’ve built up some emotional resiliency and coping mechanisms, that’s great, but otherwise it can be really distressing and overwhelming for kids.

it’s possible that I’m misunderstanding here but I think the sepsis diagnosis is from a retrospective review of her file. at the time there was no sepsis diagnosis. they even specifically call out that doctor for having been under review for missing diagnoses in the past

After two hours of IV fluids, one dose of antibiotics, and some Tylenol, Crain’s fever didn’t go down, her pulse remained high, and the fetal heart rate was abnormally fast, medical records show. Hawkins noted that Crain had strep and a urinary tract infection, wrote up a prescription and discharged her.

Hawkins had missed infections before. Eight years earlier, the Texas Medical Board found that he had failed to diagnose appendicitis in one patient and syphilis in another. In the latter case, the board noted that his error “may have contributed to the fetal demise of one of her twins.” The board issued an order to have Hawkins’ medical practice monitored; the order was lifted two years later. (Hawkins did not respond to several attempts to reach him.)

the second ER did not diagnose her with sepsis, they diagnosed her with strep throat and a UTI. some portion of responsibility IMO lies with that OB-GYN for screwing up that diagnosis, although i understand the larger point of the article seems to be that doctors are reluctant to diagnose or treat really any condition in pregnant women for fear of getting legally crushed by the state

ok, can I see the data?

really? i loved it. it’s been a while since i watched it but here are some of the things i liked (spoilers ahead)

i overall just appreciate that the film had some ambition to try to do something weird and I think for the most part it was successful. and, not to nitpick your nitpick but i think they establish that everyone on the expedition had military experience

the people we should be concerned about getting their hands on this data are not like, goateed hackers. they’re banks, insurance companies, recruiters. those are some pretty powerful lobbies

the good news is it’s very easy to get some practice

look, I read the Economist every time I’m at my dentist’s office, so I’m obviously a little bit ahead of the curve in terms of political literacy, but I’m not sure I understand what this comic is trying to say, given that the events it depicts did not literally happen. could someone explain what this comic means? it would be a great help.

unrelatedly, but just as urgently, is there anyone who is an expert in going to the bathroom? I got to the part where my pants are fully pulled down around my ankles, but I’m not sure how to sit if I have to make both doodie and weewee. I’m guessing I face the tank? thanks in advance.

they’re not really doing this, are they? i assumed it was a clickbait outrage farm concept that would never see the light of day

i kind of agree that it feels slightly weird to see lewd photos of an actress that i previously had only ever seen playing a teen. but then again, here we both are

yeah but you used to be able to use it. like if your family friend Margaret was eating five zucchinis at once lengthwise you would say “Margaret, stop being such a courgette slut”. or if a pressure cooker full of oatmeal exploded and covered her face with oatmeal you could say that Margaret got oatmeal bukkaked to explain to the intake nurse at the hospital.

nowadays you cant say that kind of thing. because of woke.
