I mean, strictly speaking probably plankton, but I’m picking up what you’re putting down!
Thank you for introducing me to Wilhoit’s Law:
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
Correct. Apple does not allow the download of 4K purchases to your computer (do any vendors?). You can download a (edit: 4K) video to watch on the plane direct to your Apple device, but not to your computer for offline viewing or archive purposes. This is why I got back into Blu-rays.
I MUCH prefer them to be caramelized. It just takes me like an hour or two
Have you ever tried the trick where you add baking soda to accelerate the Maillard reaction? Just a small pinch for a couple of onions, and you’re done in 15min or so. Too much and not as tasty.
To properly answer, we need to define what we mean as “airborne” which has gotten a bunch of people very upset recently. Prior to the COVID pandemic, the transmission model for respiratory viruses focussed on 3 distinct models of transmission:
COVID was presumed to only be transmitted through the first 2 methods. But weird things were observed, where transmission occurred when people (or ferret model experiments) were separated by barriers through which ballistic droplets couldn’t pass, like air ducts with multiple 90° bends. People also got sick after being in rooms many minutes after infected people had been present, long after ballistic droplets would have harmlessly fallen to the ground.
In reality, droplet models were just close range transmission, and airborne long range transmission of bio-aerosols, or micro droplets created from breathing, shouting, singing, coughing, or sneezing. The range was more a function of the transmissibility of the virus. Highly infective things can infect at low doses at long range. Less infective things occur with much higher doses, when people are quite close to one another. This folded in the prior models quite nicely. It was, however, not well accepted.
If a disease is to be transmitted by bio-aerosols, the disease vector needs to be able to enter the body through the surfaces with which it will interact upon being “breathed in”. This doesn’t work well for the STI viruses or bacteria, nor the malarial parasite, as they aren’t actively expelled in the respiratory system, so don’t generate bio-aerosols, and require access to highly specific host cells not easily accessed through the respiratory system at the necessary volumes to create an infection.
So, no, not really possible for non-respiratory viruses to become “airborne” in that sense.there would need to be a LOT of intermediate steps.
But diseases that we used to consider to be transmitted by the now defunct ballistic droplet model can become “airborne” (instead of “droplet”) if their ability to infect a subject becomes more successful at lower doses of pathogen such that it can occur at longer range, and over longer times.
Tap on the car icon, then software, then the blue text that says “Additional Vehicle Information”. It will be listed as the 3rd entry “CCS and 3rd-party NACS DC charging” and say “Enabled” if you have it.
I have a 2018 Model 3 and did the upgrade myself (swapped out a small ECU module in the trunk and a small wiring harness adapter) and it only took me an hour total. Reputable places will sell you everything you need - I went with A2Z, and came bundled with a CCS to NACS adapter. Lots of YouTube tutorials. Involves a socket wrench and disconnecting the 12v and main battery. Very straightforward though.
If you’re less handy, Tesla will do the retrofit for you at a reasonable price as well, including their adapter.
Like all maps, this one needs a date. For example, Canada and Denmark now share a land border (Hans island)
generate some minor descriptions for generic stuff in my TTRPG campaigns.
Need a quick 200 word description of the interior of an apothecary? Or a band of marauding orcs? It’s been a huge time saver for me.
3 Astronauts. 1 candidate. Only really got to know one astronaut (family friend) and one candidate (supervised her training in an unrelated field) super well. I’ve had long term interactions with two wannabes who were disasters.
Unfortunately, in contrast to astronauts, most of the politicians I’ve met are complete shits. Only met a few at the civic level who are excellent. And one at the federal level. Everyone else has been truly🤮.
It’s funny. Literally every astronaut I’ve met is exactly like this - quietly competent, affable, team player. As is the astronaut candidate I’ve met.
And yet…
Every person I’ve met who has been keen on becoming an astronaut or astronaut candidate has been an insufferable self-aggrandizing jerk face. Like, just awful people who suck all the air out of any room they’re in, expounding on how they (or the idea they’re selling) are the most amazing thing ever.
If the yellow jersey calls for one, pee stops for the peleton are mandatory.
If a train breaks up the peleton at a level crossing, and you’re on the far side, you wait.
The final stage should have no impact on the overall classification. But this year it will as it’s a TT in Nice, not a stroll down the Champs, so it will!
If the yellow jersey falls or has a mechanical, the group they’re in, waits. (Mostly true for any competitor with a chance to win in that group)
In a breakaway, if you’re competing for points in one classification, you don’t contest points in the others if other members of the group are trying for those. So if you’re rocking the polkadot, you take it easy at the sprints.
How do you boost intramuscular water retention? I get so dehydrated sometimes my brain burns and hurts.
Those sound like two very different things. Typically your cells manage this just fine on their own with just plain water intake provided the kidneys are working fine. Time to attain equilibrium is also important. For example, dumping a bag of IV fluid into someone’s veins will help replenish the volume of fluid in their blood vessels quickly at the outset. But it will move to the other parts of the body (or get dumped by the kidneys if the intravascular volume is already adequate).
I need serious electrolytes like 1 to 3 body armours to replenish followed by 48oz water. Followed by hours to recalibrate my body from nausea and migraines.
How well hydrated a person is before activity matters more for performance and recovery than we often recognize. Lots of studies of elite athletes and dehydration on performance and recovery. Also of these drinks have artificial sweeteners, that may be playing against you.
Urine can be clear but I can be so thirsty its unbearable. Literally feels like my brain is shrinking.
That sounds miserable. If better pre-activity hydration doesn’t solve the problem, you might want to speak to a care provider and make sure everything is ok with some tests.
The water moving right through is probably a good sign someone is well hydrated! There can be total body water versus intravascular volume depletion scenarios, but not super likely unless someone is sick in other ways.
The xylitol itself may be contributing to GI water losses (it’s only about 50% absorbed through the gut, and osmotically draws water into/keeps water from being absorbed from the intestinal lumen). Depending on the SSRI, this could be exacerbated by bowel irritability that can present as diarrhea (sertraline is notorious for this).
Some folks also report more urination with intake of sugar alcohols like xylitol. I don’t have a mechanism of action for that, so take those reports with a grain of salt. (And also some glucose because sodium-glucose symport allows for water absorption without the need for an ATP pump.)
It’s down 10% which is the literal definition of decimated!
