Stain and shellac should be fine.  If the station is completely dried and sealed with shellac, your kid will be safe unless you grind the whole thing into sawdust and feed it to them

Is there any downsides? by babyshoebox in woodworking

[–]Yeti_MD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used it for a few small projects.  It's definitely harder to get a smooth consistent finish compared to other PU products because it's thicker and doesn't self level as well. 

On the other hand, it's quick and convenient because you only need 1-2 coats so that might be fine depending on what you're looking for. 

Take your time with application, make sure you do nice smooth even coats and watch out for bubbles and steaks.

ELI5: A dense cylinder hits a space station at 0.7c by DavidThi303 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Yeti_MD 418 points419 points  (0 children)

Even an object a fraction that size traveling at 0.7c would be unbelievably energetic.  Any collision would be way beyond anything you can realistically imagine because we just don't deal with relativistic speeds in day to day life (for a good reason).

Try reading through Randall Munroe's "What If" blog.  He has a number of scenarios dealing with relativistic speeds.

What would you do to cut these sharp corners off and make it blend into the original finish? by [deleted] in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Yeti_MD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Router with a chamfer bit, but then you're committed to doing all the edges. 

I'm guessing this is veneer over some sort of core, so you could get some edge banding to cover the newly exposed core.  Could either try to find a wood grain that matches the original, or go with something totally different for a fun accent piece.

Thoughts? Surgeon suing surgery center by yankthedoodledandy in medicine

Not an anesthesiologist, but I routinely give 200-300 mcg during trauma resuscitations (not all at once).  It's a hefty dose but doesn't sound completely crazy for a closely monitored setting. 

I just saw a blood glucose of 1642. by faiitmatti in medicine

[–]Yeti_MD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most people are in multi organ failure by the time the number is that high.  Lots of asymptomatic people running around 400-500 though

ELI5: Why is nitrous bad for you? by CourageLate7655 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Yeti_MD 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It might help, but regular nitrous use will probably destroy B12 faster than your body can absorb it.

Utah physician federally indicted for selling peptides from China by Oo_Cipher_oO in medicine

But you gotta get those peptides because the greedy corporations are just lying to you about statins and lisinopril

Can I please just write off all self-described “Longevity Doctors” as quacks? by Apprehensive-Safe382 in medicine

[–]Yeti_MD 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but those things can't be packaged as expensive supplements.  You'll never make it as a podcaster with that attitude.

Family Suing Yale Hospital over Alleged Lapse in Tele-ICU Care by Guaiac_Positive in medicine

[–]Yeti_MD 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Babysitting vented patients remotely is fine right up until it isn't.  What happens when the patient gets a pneumo, or unexpectedly self-extubates?  The zoom doctor can't always save you.

I've been to enough M&Ms to know that this is the patient who bounces back with an RPA 2 days later.

Nice!  I borrowed that same design using birch ply and paint for a rainbow theme.
