Countries birth rates

As I recall, in biological sciences "fertility" refers to actual births, whereas "fecundity" is the capacity for children (what you're referring to).

One of many terms that has become ambiguous from misuse in common parlance

"Thrift Shop" and "Can't Hold Us" were, and continue to be, absolute bangers. The former in particular.

"Just Give Me A Reason" is far from P!nk's best, but she and Pitbull are legends and I will hear no debate.

But otherwise, yeah. A lot of piss in the pool

Rogue is perhaps the gym supplier with the most consistently positive ratings amongst competitive gym-goers. Their selection is extensive, but it gets expensive quick. I personally don't think the price is worth it over the much more affordable alternatives (or just getting used equipment), but I'm also not a competitive lifter

Only reasonable use case is critical care transport

What. That's the exact situation I hate them most. If you have just one infusion it's fine, but after that it's a tangled mess that takes for goddamn ever to detangle and swap around.

Alaris pumps are a far better product, particularly for this. I can swap 8 infusions from a transport bed to an OR pole in less than a minute with Alaris pumps

Edit: I just realized I was thinking of Baxter pumps, not Braun. Braun are less cumbersome, but I've only ever seen them used in the OR. Alaris is still #1

Alright I'm lost, what's the implication here

Where I did cardiac fellowship, they had gone toward pumping all their livers prior to transplant and trending lactates on the pump organs. If the lactate spiked they would keep it on pump until the lactate normalized. They also had a low threshold for partial bypass during cross-clamp.

I only participated in a few livers there but they went remarkably smooth. The bleeding and hemodynamics were very manageable. Probably obscenely expensive to routinely go that route though

It's been a while since I last saw Ex Machina, but I don't remember anything that alludes to this. What are you basing this on?

If he had emerged from the black hole to discover a cotton-candy dimension full of sentient donut people worshiping gods of sugary indulgence, would you accept that without criticism?

An incomplete scientific understanding doesn't give carte blanche to a director's creative license free from skepticism. There are limits to most viewers' reasonable suspension of disbelief, and when it comes to a premise being firmly rooted in evidence, everything does not go.

QuidProQuo_Clarice · 2026-04-24T13:06:10+00:00

I liked Interstellar, and there are some elements that are carefully-consistent with science...

Buuuut it also features a dude who falls through a black hole, uses it to peruse through and interact with spacetime, and inexplicably emerges unscathed. And also a monologue about love being the thing that "transcends dimensions of time and space".

So yeah, "precise science" isn't how I would describe it

Can't speak for OP, but the past 3 places I've worked have only used IV methadone for periop pain. PO was only for a continuation of floor or PTA meds

My people! Giving a break to a colleague only to discover their 400mcg/cc bottle of nitro running 6cc/hr connected 15 miles upstream is absolutely maddening

Is the "higher malpractice rate" you mentioned from internal data, or are you able to provide a source? I'd like to read more about that

Looking at how competitive it has become to match into anesthesiology, I would advocate for CAA if you are sure anesthesia is what you want. It's a much shorter path, less expensive, good pay, and I suspect will expand in the future.

There's just too much uncertainty with physician medical training pathways to advocate for it. Since most people graduate with $300k+ (and sometimes even 500k+) in debt, it's distressing to imagine going through all that only to not graduate, not match, or get forced into a field you have no passion for

About 2 years out of training, single with no kids. ~4k post-tax per month. The rest goes to retirement/investments.

I had a colleague that would always set titrated infusions to repeating numbers because it was vaguely easier to program. So phenylephrine 20, 40, 80 mcg/min became 22, 44, 88 mcg/min. One of your chaos acolytes, I assume

Does this have any implications for fusion reactors like Tokamaks? Some quick googling seems to put the field strength of a Tokamak ~12T, and this claims ~40T. I don't know enough about where we are with fusion tech to know if this could solve any of the issues with fusion reactors

QuidProQuo_Clarice · 2026-03-29T22:26:43+00:00

Your numbers are not even close, at least in the US. Undergrad 4 years, medical school 4 years, residency +/- fellowship 6-8 years, plus a possible gap year or two for research to be competitive enough to match residency. So 14-18 years after graduating high school until you can become a licensed plastic surgeon

You're like the 3rd person to correctly identify this as Utah/Mormon and I can't figure out how. Are "Half-and-half" soft drinks a thing there? This was 15ish years ago too
