I have a TCL so maybe it's different, but did your TVs require connection to set up?

The TCL can still act as a HDMI switch with CEC, and that can be labeled through the remote if you want, so there was never any need to connect to a network.

Yes, it is an issue.

One of the big problems with anesthesia is balancing respiratory depression while medicating the patient enough to manage the symptoms. Fentanyl is used in anesthesia and it causes respiratory depression.

A strong pain medication that doesn't slow or stop breathing would significantly improve the safety of anesthesia.

I wonder if this modification brings it closer to the mitragynine from kratom, which has opiate like pain dulling effects with very minor or no effect on breathing.

I hope so because the administration is looking to really fuck over medical research by making the 7-OH stuff a schedule 1 narcotic, when it has so much potential for improving anesthesia and pain management by removing respiratory depression from the pain killing element of the anesthetic cocktail.

Lotus root is pretty common. A crunchy tuber that keeps its texture after cooking, bland taste, unique visual appeal. I threw some in the last pot of bean chili my family made, and the kids liked it.

Seeing my neighbors gathering ginkgo nuts made me curious enough to try them, and I waded right in without understanding the risks! TLDR— they're not a great food source. It's yet another one of those cases where you have to wonder what "delicacy" means.

The actual fruit (looks like a rotten plum, smells terrible) has ginkgolic acids which cause contact dermatitis (think poison ivy).

Then the nuts themselves contain Ginkgotoxin, which interferes with your B6, screwing up your nervous system and causing seizures. Cooking reduces but does not eliminate Ginkgotoxin.

I only ate one, and ate it raw. It was a delightful texture, but tasted like chewing random plant matter. Like leaves from a tree. Was maybe half a cubic centimeter of matter. Escaped any ill effects.

According to my research, kids can have seizures from as few as 10 nuts, which would probably be like 1.5 spoonfuls if you mashed them up. The guidelines I found don't seem very scientific but supposedly a kid can safely handle 3-5 nuts over the course of a day, and an adult could handle 5-10. So it doesn't seem like there is a good margin of safety.

Overall a real risk to health for an insignificant amount of food that doesn't taste special. But a nice texture.

How much did it help? How far have you ascended?

Placing them underwater means you get free, unlimited cooling.

Exactly the opposite of space, where all cooling must happen through radiation, which is expensive/inefficient

I'm not disagreeing with your overall take, but Tesla and other EV manufacturers have released the same model of vehicle with different battery technologies at different times. Only saying that dropping 4680 production isn't conclusive proof itself.

That analogy doesn't fit the situation of a social contract not being fulfilled, and your overall point is extremely antisocial.

You appear to be saying if one person or group fails to uphold their obligation to you at any time, you are thereafter released from your obligation to the rest of humanity.
