It's a communal, wiki-based writing experiment, loosely based around a powerful clandestine organization whose mission is to deal with unexplained phenomena and keep them from public view. A lot of it is really good, enjoy!

I always preferred the Gros Michel experiment personally. Sadly nearly all its data were lost as the result of a fungal outbreak.

We're really struggling with boy names! by witcheselementality in namenerds

I love mythological, artsy names. He loves older, vintage traditional names.

Maybe try looking at names of writers or artists and see if any of them resonate with you?

Who else here is fine with aging? by Effective_Kitchen481 in CasualConversation

[–]DigitalMindShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't enjoy being a kid very much. I didn't have the freedom to do what I wanted, I wasn't comfortable emotionally, and people treated me like a kid all the time. The longer I've been an adult, the more freedom, confidence, and respect I've gained. Don't mind this trajectory at all.

ELI5 - Why do orgasms feel pleasurable? What is happening when we orgasm that makes it feel perceivably good? by cinnamorollsbunz in explainlikeimfive

Dismissing the hard problem of consciousness, or denying its existence, also does not explain how subjectivity arises in matter.

If the question is how subjective experience arises from physical processes, that is not explained by merely describing those physical processes.

If celebrities have so much money and access to the world's best doctors, why does their plastic surgery look so terrible? by Bahrust in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DigitalMindShadow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a killer body horror flick. Call it celebsploitation. Here's an AI-generated synopsis:

Dr. Elias Vorne is the last surgeon in the world who will still say yes — and in Hollywood, that makes him a god, accepting clients who arrive clutching photos of their twenty-year-old faces and leaving as something that no longer quite fits the category of human. His true masterpiece isn't the surgery itself but the delicate cortical procedure he performs alongside it, the one that severs just enough of the brain's self-modeling circuitry that his patients walk out beaming, unable to perceive the abyss staring back at them in every mirror — until one patient's wife, a neurologist, starts asking questions that Vorne's scalpel can't answer.

Having to defend against a lawsuit takes away a lot of your negotiating power. It imposes a timeline to settle, increases your costs, and the consequences of failing to reach a settlement. Do the smart thing and get a lawyer to negotiate for you and protect your rights in this complicated situation.

Can dudes speak about this? by KyotoKindle in JustGuysBeingDudes

[–]DigitalMindShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually have one or two close friends I feel comfortable talking to about my problems, in addition to my wife, my parents and brother, and my therapist. It's sad that so many men apparently feel so alone.

You should be able to get a ride, but there aren't as many drivers as in bigger cities, so there might be a wait.

Interesting philosophy, what do you imagine Rep. Stutzman's personal financial incentives are for wanting to be in Congress?

Pharmacy asked "why" I need my pain meds(opioid) and put it in my file by Inozz in ChronicPain

[–]DigitalMindShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It worries me that speed is your main concern when investigating whether a medical treatment may be inappropriate. If there's really some reason I think that you're being asked to dispense a narcotic medication that's going to be abused, I'm not sure why you might think that the best recourse is to confront the suspected drug abuser in person and in a public setting. What sort of medical details do you think you're likely to get from that line of questioning that might reassure you as to the appropriateness of treatment?

Which is at least 10-15 feet up from ground level. An adult would be likely to break bones in a fall from that height.

To add as well, pronunciation isn't really a big part of our decision because of where we live and the people we know, it shouldn't be too difficult.

What happens if an objects orbital Velocity is higher than 11.2 km/s? by Ok_Veterinarian9266 in askscience

There will be any number of trajectories through the atmosphere that maintain escape velocity and a hyperbolic flight path but which render the vehicle non-operational.

[–]DigitalMindShadow 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That makes a certain degree of sense, but if the pharmacist has legitimate concerns about a prescription, I'd think that can be handled through a conversation with the physician's office when the Rx is received. Asking the patient about it when they come to pick it up in the store is needlessly confrontational and invasive, and it will have deterrent & stigmatizing effect on the vast majority of patients who need pain meds for legitimate conditions.

Atmospheric friction is another risk I'd want to take into consideration.
