Uh WTF

newtboy says...

Another Q conspiracy video, @bobknight33 ?! Oh Bob.
Biden handed the governor’s son an official whitehouse face mask, in public, on camera. Granted a bit oddly but not super slow and lingering like the edited “original” video shows.
The child definitely didn’t hand Biden a vial of baby blood or adrenochrome like the doctored, reversed video claims to show, and like you likely believe. Your irrational hatred of anything not Trumpian makes you such a fool.
🤦‍♂️

A brush with fentanyl almost killed this deputy trainee

SFOGuy says...

Yah, maybe--if you tried to argue it was skin absorbed. Sure--it could have been a panic attack? Maybe? Or staged? Dunno. It's still true that Fentanyl is terrifyingly powerful.

But if they were rousting that car for longer or had earlier contact--PubMed says nasal inhalation takes 7 minutes to effectiveness.

There's also the terrifying possibility he ran into sufentanil. Heroin/morphine is given a potency of 1X; Fentanyl is given a potency of 50X to 100X heroin/morphine; Sufentanil--why was this invented?--has a baseline potency of 7.5X greater than Fentanyl---which makes if between 375X and 750X more potency microgram for microgram than heroin/morphine?

I'm also always struck that the lethal overdose amount of just regular old Fentanyl is--about the size of one grain of rice you see it in a glass vial. The other comparison I've seen is that's about the amount of white powder that would sit in one layer on Lincoln's ear on a penny.

NIOSH says anyone messing around with suspected fentanyl should wear PPE--and then very, very carefully discard it and wash down afterwards.

rancor said:

There's a lot of internet traffic that claims this was essentially "faked" by the department. His controlled fall, some lack of urgency by the trainer, good color/not suffocating... Also a lot of "this is not how fentanyl works" from medical professionals.

For some reason, the way it falls in the vial reminds me a lot of Silent Hill.

Certainly a cool material, and I'm hoping it'll get some good real-world applications soon. Seriously doubt we'll be seeing wearable stuff in 2019 though - that still seems too hype-y.

Guy gives up added sugar and alcohol for 1 month

shang says...

I'm overweight, had a heart attack 9 years ago when I was 30. I'm on low sodium diet, have 2 cordis brand stints in my chest. Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction from a little scar tissue on left ventricle.

I had severe depression and the heart attack at 30 messed my head up fierce in my thinking. First off I've never had a physical before then and I've never been sick. When my parents caught flus and I didn't they had me tested and I was a 1 in 10 or 100 thousand I forget that are immune to flu. Once a year I donate blood here in Ga that is sent to Emory in Atlanta I get paid $350 for my blood once a year.

But back to heart attack since I never had physical due to never sick I knew I was not eating healthy and used to smoke and nicotine is a vascular constrictor. It triggered the attack and was my last cigarette. It scared the addiction out of me and never had withdrawals.

But my severe mental depression although obese I became scared to eat, I went on starvation diet. I'd drink water but no food at all.

After 5th day I was so weak I couldn't move. Later I realized it takes a lot of calories to move my fatass. But I had a new danger that almost triggered cardiac arrest.

I live alone and was able to crawl to phone and call 911. They first thought it was another heart attack but heart was slowed but no problems. They did blood test and took 7 vials. About 6 hours later was the embarrassment.

Doctor came in, along with psychiatrist, nutritionist, and another counselor. I was hypokalemic. Which means potassium was dangerously low almost fatally low. Which was red flag for usually the stereotypical teenage girl with anorexia.

Took 2 IV bags of riggers lactate, shot of potassium, a little amphetamine to boost blood pressure up to normal and 24 hour observation on regular saline IV.

I still have severe depression due to weight. I have degenerative disc disease in my back so I can't get around very good. My diet is set at 1800 calories yet my I only lose 1 to 2 pounds a month. Extensive testing has shown my metabolism has come to a stop. So even though I eat very little calories and low sodium protein diet with barely any carbs with no metabolism the body only stores it as fat because at zero metabolism the body thinks it has to store instead of burn thinking its starving but its not.

But my cardiologist and general doc are trying an extremely dangerous and risky treatment to try and JumpStart my metabolism. I have to record my blood pressure hourly and go in once a week for ekg and blood enzyme test but they are using a drug not made for this as "off label" use and you aren't supposed to even use it with heart disease but that's the strict monitoring by both my doctors. The controversy is they are using adderall to force my metabolism up. Your body is forced to burn through energy stored, and the idea is once my metabolism kicks back in it should stay up on its own.

Tests look promising its my second week on it and I was averaging 1-2 sometimes 3 pound loss in one month. Now since the low dose adderall trial I lost 5 pounds in 1 week!!!

And that little victory has done wonders for my severe depression. I've actually got hope.

Radioactive Thyroid

nock says...

*wtf boiling urine?

Also, Tc99m has a short half life so in a few days she'll just have a vial of "normal" concentrated urine.

No gloves for IV injection in Germany eh? Pertechnetate isn't specific for the thyroid, it also goes to kidneys, bladder, parathyroids, salivary glands. Presumably this test was for a thyroid nodule? In the US we would go for an iodine study because it's more specific.

Automator - It's Over Now (Kool Keith & Dan the Automator)

MrFisk says...

[Talking voice]
Yeah man, just left town man
I'm here, here
Had to get outta town baby
Where you stayin' now?
You can pick me up at the round busstation
Or I can take a plane
There's your cab? I'll be right over
It's gonna be a few sec, and I'll tell you what went down

[Kool Keith]
I stayed in New York, depressed, walkin' mad through the block
Watching brothers go down, my project friends smoking rock
My group divided and everthing was undecided
I was drinking, thinking: "Damn, man, my boat is sinking"
Everybody's wack and new groups comin' back
They on Arsenio, booty's on video
Watch this clown rhyme that's paid for on primetime
Everybody's mean, they're hard, they're killing mothers
Shootin' bang bang, fakin man killing brothers
I had to turn off the radio from all the Walt Disney
Mickey Mouse and friends all talking pop and lippy
Girls excited for what? And over-infatuated
People got their brain washed and folks got manipulated
They start beleiving Donald Duck made the earth
The industry was cursed since the Dinosaur's birth
(The industry was cursed since the Dinosaur's birth)

[Chorus]
It's over now
No problems in this world
It's over now
I'm home chillin' with my girl
It's over now
My mind was in a twirl
It's over now
I'm home chillin' with my girl
It's over now
No problems in this world
It's over now
I'm home chillin' with my girl
It's over now
My mind was caught up in a twirl
It's over now
I'm home chillin' with my girl

[Kool Keith]
Flying nighttime, eating peanuts on the plane
With no moneycontrol, my stress builds on my brain
My ticket's oneway
I'm out to southern Caliway
I left behind some people that wasn't even equal
I thought back with chicks and freaks in 86'
When Marley was in in control +the funky magic mix+
I had the limousine on hold with the real chauffeur
Ripped the ???? up with Ultra and I felt like Oprah
Girls in flocks and fans in lines from blocks
I didn't even hear a peep of you rappin' mister
I was your idol and probably on your older sister
Now you bad you signed stupid with a recorddeal
Your image is butt you perpertrating Shootin' Steel
Holdin' guns on albumcovers just to make funds
You the man quick fast payed out the ?anoass?
You can see I'm back and clear on stereo
with my own style, my intimite material

[Talking voice]
Ye, your style changed every year
Think about what you did
Used to dance, used to wear suits
Then you came back to wearing hip-hop clothes
Then you went back to wearing suits

[Chorus]
It's over now
No problems in this world
It's over now
I'm home chillin' with my girl
It's over now
My mind was caught up in a twirl
It's over now
I'm home chillin' with my girl

[Kool Keith]
No accountant, my lawyer keepin' checks on the low
Money, expenses for trips I didn't know
Agencies finding shows I could get myself
Writing rhymes at night in the house by myself
I open mailboxes, all I see was more bills
Gettin' cold chicken, walkin' down Bronx hills
Askin' moms for 50 cent, just to pay my rent
I had no will to ill, my mind was out to kill
I called up Kurt, got a big deal signed with Capitol
Money's flowin' now wild suckas out blowin' up
They my pupic care, and pupils still growin' up
Sucking mean while the g'ism as it hits the rhythm
They want that new style, no money it's called freestyle
Taping off the radio, smokin' from my crack vial
They on my tip now, as always as usual
You forgot me, but I didn't forget you

[Chorus]
2x It's over now
No problems in this world
It's over now
I'm home chillin' with my girl
It's over now
My mind was caught up in a twirl
It's over now
I'm home chillin' with my girl

Yeah...

Popping a Mercury Filled Balloon in Slow Motion

MilkmanDan says...

>> ^spoco2:

@MilkmanDan Saying that kids should be able to play with Mercury, even though it is shown to be a very dangerous substance (mostly via it evaporating and being inhaled, not through direct contact) seems a little naive.
What do you get out of it that makes it worth the pretty horrendous possible side effects? Sometimes 'big brother' isn't really that at all, just society at large realising some of the dangerous side effects of things.
My own experience with mercury? In grade six someone had a vial of it, and it got spilled all over the wood floor in our classroom. So little bits of mercury ended up falling in the cracks between floorboards. There were a bunch of us 11/12 year olds trying to fish balls of mercury out with pieces of paper. Not really safe at all. None of us suffered any ill effects that we know of, but why risk it?


I looked into it further on my own, and found out that as @GeeSussFreeK mentioned, elemental Mercury is actually rather safe, even compared to standard Chemistry lab-type things that we let kids handle or have access to. However, that information is often glossed over with blanket warnings about exposure to any sort of mercury, including the legitimately nasty compound forms like what can come from coal burning, etc. As you said, the main danger from the pure elemental form is vapor from evaporation, which seems to be manageable with any sort of proper ventilation or limited exposure time.

I wouldn't suggest that we just allow kids to play with the stuff at will unsupervised, but I think that some level of interaction with it (more than what is common now) can be safe, educational, and worth doing given proper safety practices and other restrictions. On the other hand, there isn't a whole lot to be gained, and there is a lot to lose -- albeit I think the chances of very serious accidents with it are very slim given proper precautions.

I kinda lament the fact that it is harder for schools to do anything even a tiny bit out of the everyday routine because they all have to have massive insurance policies to cover their asses in the event that some freak occurrence happens and they get sued. It is harder to have a woodshop; somebody might cut a finger off. Sports sometimes come under fire for injuries or even the occasional freak accidental death. The loss of those sorts of things makes me wonder if we've gone too far down the "Big Brother" road in some ways. Then again, I think most of that is due to our lawsuit and litigation-happy culture rather than Big Brother...

How to see your own DNA.

You know, if all I wanted is to see white strings and clumps of my own DNA, there is a much faster method...


I did this a few weeks ago in my Genetics class...now I have a little heart shaped vial of my DNA...which looks like snot in water. Pretty cool idea, not a stunning visual.

Mercury vapors in UV light

shuac says...

Wanna hear something fuckin crazy? My high school chemistry teacher (we called him six-pack Jack because he often seemed slightly lit while teaching) pulled out an uncapped vial of mercury and allowed us to pour it in our hands and whatnot. He did end the lesson saying that the stuff was highly toxic. Thanks, Jack. Thumbs up, pal.

Despite this unfortunate episode, I'm glad I went through public education in the mid-eighties rather than today.
