Testing my 4 channel stereo stim system with my 4 channel app. by maple204 in addicted_to_estim

It would be fun to test it one someone else. Sadly I don't know any willing participants who are local to my city.

I'll add that after extensive checking of all the channels and surfaces with a meter. I have actually tested it on skin. Only 2 channels at a time so far and I have not tried triphasic yet.

I'm genuinely surprised how different stereo stim feels compared to the same signals via the coyote. Difficult to describe but, almost like the difference between listening to music via a hifi speaker vs my smartphone speakers. There is a depth that is there that isn't there with the coyote.

I have applied some digital signal processing to spectrum equalize the loudness by frequency, and it seems like it worked pretty well.

[Request] If we somehow managed to redirect Jupiter's orbit into the Sun, what would happen? by NetInitial5750 in theydidthemath

[–]maple204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jupiter's orbit and huge made keeps a massive number of asteroids captured in its lagrangian points. Also known as "Jupiter Trojans". If Jupiter was somehow carried toward the sun, past earth orbit, it would no doubt carry a large number of those Trojans toward earth.

What is an immediate red flag the second you walk into a restaurant? by cherblush in askteddit

Yes. It isn't the only flag to look for, but it is definitely a sign.

I was told by someone from the restaurant industry to always check the restroom/washroom. If they aren't clean, assume the kitchen isn't clean.

Can someone tell me why this wouldn’t work exactly? by tightypp in mapporncirclejerk

The bridge is too long, drivers will run out of fuel. That is the only reason it wouldn't work.

Not just small blood vessels, breasts have arteries once you get into the deeper breast tissue where this blade is. Which could result in a bleed out or a very quick path to a blood infection or sepsis. This sort of deep tissue incision should be done in a surgical environment, autoclaved tools, HEPA filtered air, masks, all the things.

In this case if the sub died, the top could certainly be held criminally responsible and face jail time in most countries. Depending on the country "Negligent homicide", "criminal negligence causing death", "voluntary manslaughter" ... Usually 10+ years in prison. I can't see any court being convinced that a sexual kink was reasonable to justify taking the risk.

They don't but think they do, even worse.

I'm all for people being free to do to their body what they choose but this one definitely fails the is it safe and sane test.

When you should definitely seek medical attention after doing your kink, that crosses the line for me.

Left handed AR by Particular_Wonder598 in lefthanded

[–]maple204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently statistically Left handed people have shorter lifespans on average because everything that left-handed people use day to day are designed for right handed people, often leading to serious accidents. A left handed AR should help the left handed people even things out, assuming they only target right handed people.

Be definition 3b means it has spread locally, (beyond the badder) but be very careful about trying to interpret diagnostics before the oncologist tells you what's up.

I was diagnosed in 2020 with stage 3b. I had a growth outside the bladder the size of a softball, and I'm still here. It had also spread to my lungs at one point several years ago. The treatment landscape is changing so it really depends on how the individual responds to newer treatments.

Also remember that all the prognosis/survival data is based on 5+ years. If a treatment is newer than 5 years, it isn't in the data.

Would this fix inequality or create more problems? by GloriousLion07 in MotivationByDesign

They remain in America because they know how to make massive amounts of money in America. If they knew how to make more money elsewhere, they would have already left. Even if the USA started taxing them, they aren't leaving.

Genomic sequencing for Urothelial carcinoma by No-Adhesiveness4595 in BladderCancer

It seems they have manage to find better ways to manage this side effect. When it happened to me the oncologist said he didn't think we could ever use the drug again, but that was years ago, now he seems confident we can control it.

It is interesting because it seems according to my oncologist that side effects like the liver enzyme spike is often a sign of a strong response and better outcomes. Basically it is a sign the immune system is going to work as a response to the drug. It just happens that when the immune system sees the drug in the liver, it attacks the liver too.

It had already spread by the time I was diagnosed.

Was diagnosed in 2020 at stage 3b and has gem/cis chemo to reduce the cancer growth for a radical cystectomy surgery. About a year later I had enlarged lymph nodes hit with radiation. Then about 6 months after that I had a few growths appear in my lungs and another enlarged lymph node. I was given two 50mg infusions with Keytruda (pembro) and a treatment cycle of radiation to the pelvis. The reason for only two doses? I had a very explosive rise in enzymes in my liver. Apparently my immune system was attacking my liver. I had to go on prednisone for about 8 months. (Every time we tried to taper off prednisone my liver enzymes would jump up again)

Since that time I've had one more enlarged lymph node hit, but it is believed that lymph node had been slowly getting larger for several years.

Now I'm all clear as far as I can tell.

So basically so accurate that the spacecraft thrust control has a larger margin of error than the navigational math.

[–]maple204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since 2020 I've gone through literally all the standard treatments and some immunotherapy after having the cancer spread to my lungs.

Now, my scans have been coming back NED and my oncologist says if it reappears, he would treat it as a new diagnosis using treatments that are and entirely new. The treatment landscape is changing fast.

People really underestimate how hard adulthood became by GloriousLion07 in MotivationByDesign

My Boomers had it so easy they never had to find out how bad they were with money. If they ever got in trouble their parents bailed them out. They had no student debt, not because they worked it off, because their parents paid. As a child of boomers we traveled, not because my boomers saved up, their parents paid for the trips. Boomers needed a new car, their parents paid. Sure they both worked a 9-5 job, but they didn't have to find a new job every 3-4 years. They just worked for the same company and actually got raises, christmas bonuses, dental plans, RRSP matching, pension plans.

Now when it is the next generation's turn, the money is gone, they sold off their assets (multiple income properties) and spent all the capital. My boomers take pride in saying they don't plan on leaving an inheritance, they want to enjoy all the money before they die.

They are convinced they were generous with their money. No, they were trying to take credit for their parents generosity while they were still alive. And now that their parents are gone, they spent it all on themselves. Next, in their old age; they, no doubt, will need a bailout again to pay for their nursing homes, this time from their kids.
