do I know any surgeons on here? if so, please DM me
this is NOT for medical related reasons, this is an economic project guesstimate about anesthetic usage
please RT
In our current times, more people—maybe all people—should read Terry Pratchett. His works are a blessing of light in a world that wants to beat you down.
Mind how you go.
This was great and I hope it gets expanded in future because I'd like to read more.
One of the most useful frameworks I got out of Consider the Fork is that high dining is always been about embodied labor. What is classy and what is gauche always comes down to how much time actual people have to spend to make it.
Pretty much anything in the BMW/Mercedes/Audi range can do that no problem, they're only limited by an agreement between the manufacturers to not do more than 155 MPH.

Pretty sure her book was where I first heard about this and I need to find a good contemporary study of the subject.
I swear every dystopian tech development is like "Hey, are you OK with being this much not-a-person in our eyes? How about this much? One or two? <clicking noises> OK, how about now—one or two?" like I'm at the devil's optometry office.
My least favorite weather for biking.
Being a teen when spellcheck was becoming widely available was such a relief.
If you have not read How to Hide an Empire by Daniel Immerwahr I highly recommend it. Incredible how much Americans just don’t get taught about American history
I feel like the upshot of everything is that we're just going to work around to reinventing the secretary / admin assistant all over from whole cloth, because it turns out admin work is *work* and benefits from an expert. Because this happened with typewriters and email and Excel and...
Using cyanide as a leaving group is certainly a choice. Makes me wonder if they could have used a different one and gotten the same results.
I know we're not supposed to judge books by their covers... but I am judging those ones.
That was actually a pre-Christian phenomenon.

This is why, unless I’m buying directly from the farm, I’ve never understood buying whole chickens when you can get leg quarters for the same price per pound. All of the good bits and a better meat:bone ratio.
At least this time it seems to be somewhat productive.
The history of niche 19th-century industries is genuinely fascinating. For instance Gastropod had an episode about the history of mint and for a long time the majority of it was grown in one or two places.

Maybe we deserve what we’ve got coming to us
If I remember correctly that was a major piece of early atomic energy work because the first batches of graphite they purchased to used as moderators had too much boron in it.
Almost surprised the calisthenics folks haven't gone all-in on this kind of thing.
At least for me it's just a way to make training feel more sustainable by doing something different each session. I realized that my goal is just to be able to keep working out every week indefinitely, so focusing on any one thing would be detrimental.
The playful, prolific use of hyperlinks in online journalism (eg Slate, Pitchfork) didn’t anticipate link-rot. Now so many articles are pock-marked with cryptic allusions that some long-dead link once explained. Weird how quickly a new style comes to feel more archaic than the traditional format
The idea that there needs to be transitions between zones - especially low-density residential to high-density - is directly tied to the idea that renting/living in an apartment is a moral failure and way too many cities cling to it for dear life.
reminded of my most dad coded political opinion which is that we need a universal Naps and Lil Snacks For All program
Feel like it really tapered off after the 90s.
Oregon property tax assessments are a nightmare that, much like the housing market in general, I'm not sure how we ever get ourselves out of.
Also, even if you can physically go pretty long distances without having to drive, there's generally so much going on in even medium-sized cities that you might as well chill and take in the local sights.
The chemistry analogy I draw is to SciFinder. Massive force multiplier for synthetic work, but you need to have the experience to be able to judge when similar but not exactly the same reactions will be applicable to what you're doing.
My job specifically asks us how much we do WFH because you aren't charged state income tax on those days.
One area is malaria research. They fund a lot of pre-clinical work that ends up in animals for evaluation.
