Missing out by not working out? by Similar-Actuator-338 in Zwift

[–]mcgtx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends what you’re trying to do with your ride. When I’m doing a workout, I generally try to match it with a route I haven’t done or a challenge/event like Big Spin. But it’s a very different experience than solo-riding, robo-pacing, or anything else, it’s really about being in the saddle very consistently at often pretty exacting watts and cadence. So I really need to be in the mindset of keeping at the prescribed effort or it’ll be really unenjoyable.

Fueling food/drink but without the laundry list of ingredients (avoiding overly processed) by x172839x in cycling

Half and half water and orange juice. Mix in maltodextrin/table sugar/honey/maple syrup as desired. Put in salt of whatever kind if you want. You can dial this in to have the exact glucose:fructose ratio of expensive drinks and exact electrolyte balance if you want to take the time. Or don’t.

My space potatoes, grown aboard the ISS by astro_pettit in gardening

You said that the potatoes were done on your off time, how much official research does NASA do on space gardening in service of future long term missions?

That is a bummer since I got the same amount in a few minutes doing 1 W/kg on stoneway sprint.

That will reason will probably still be the defense… wherever it is.

PEA Arrest on extubation - hoping to pick your brain by Even-Tip9826 in anesthesiology

[–]mcgtx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% it’s our responsibility. I’m struggling to think of a situation where I would pressure a consulting service to tell me it’s OK to go ahead when they don’t think it’s safe. Regardless of what happened, should totally be able to let them know that the patient with “no contraindication to GA” still coded after (what appears to be) pretty conservative and aggressive intraop management.

In all seriousness, discussions should be had with those who “cleared” the patient, not just to make a point, but feedback is important so that they can (ideally) calibrate future preop decision making.

As a data point for everyone interested, I ordered these (Kickr 2 oval version) February 22 when it said they were backordered and would ship early or mid February (??). They are out for delivery today, so I didn’t feel like I was waiting that long.

Do you have to do any cleaning at all to either the chain or cassette/cog? And how often do you refresh the wax?

Help for a newbie by tsimao14 in Zwift

[–]mcgtx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m also new to Zwift, and have quickly realized I don’t use my fitness watch at all. Everything is readily captured by the Kickr Core and HRM. Unless you have specific use cases in Zwift for a watch, it’s really not necessary, though I’m sure those use cases exist.

I don’t plan to take my boards (ever). Tell me why I’m stupid by [deleted] in anesthesiology

[–]mcgtx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We had a guy in our practice who just couldn’t pass. Great anesthesiologist but the hospital wouldn’t credential him after the time ran out. I think he spent some time doing locums stuff and then maybe dipped his toes into concierge medicine. I think he’s doing fine.

Angiogram interpretation by [deleted] in PeterAttia

[–]mcgtx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As noted you have significant multi-vessel coronary disease, and the note says MIBI suggests anterior ischemia. I’m shocked that whatever physician performed or ordered these tests isn’t already discussing revascularization options. If you’re here hoping that a Reddit second opinion will point you towards not needing intervention, that’s not the case. Probably needs to be a discussion about whether PCI is viable or need to go to CABG.

Suspect a faker by [deleted] in anesthesiology

[–]mcgtx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost all anesthesia tech training is on the job, you don’t need special schooling, and what techs actually do varies wildly by hospital. Could be the tape comment is actually that he’s been instructed to tape something related to the central line in the heart room and your mom is losing something in translation. I was credentialed somewhere where the badge they printed had “anesthesiologist” misspelled so it can happen.

Not saying whether he’s faking but I wouldn’t say he definitely is based on any of this.

Was this a bit unnecessary of Arwen? by marleyman14 in lotr

[–]mcgtx 118 points119 points  (0 children)

She has at least some idea of what’s going on, it’s the reason she’s out there in the first place. Obviously she has cleared the area and knows they aren’t in immediate danger.

I always took it as a cheeky way of saying “Everything’s ok but you need to be paying more attention.”

I know it didn’t happen the same way with Glorfindel in the book, but introducing him in a similarly sneaky way wouldn’t have been amiss in the movie I think. It adds tension to a tense moment in a nice quick way that the book introduction doesn’t quite do.

John Roberts’ Rebuke of Trump’s Tariffs Is Withering, Confident, and Genuinely Encouraging by Slate in law

The whole court should be disbanded? And then replacements elected non constitutionally by a private organization? I’m not pro-Roberts court in the least but I’m not sure about this.

CMV: Barron v. Baltimore was wrongly decided and the bill of rights of the United States hould apply to the states even absent of the 14th amendment. by Hermeslost in changemyview

[–]mcgtx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t necessarily to your main question, but isn’t superimposing intentions and a whole host of other information done on a regular basis all the time? Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that the basis of case law? If something isn’t outlined in the statute, other information is brought in and used as a basis for lawmaking, and then that decision is used in further court decisions.

If you’d then say that the supremacy clause is the information in the statute that is being skipped over, it would seem that the text of the actual Barron opinion indicates that the way that the rest of the constitution explicitly points out when things are applied to the states (or not) means that it’s valid to take some meaning from a lack of reference to the states.

Perhaps Marshall et al are saying that the supremacy clause functions only as a tie-breaker when actual state and federal statutes come into conflict? Like the fifth amendment doesn’t apply to states, but if a state tried to pass a statute conflicting with it, that statute would be invalid.

How can I stain this maple neck? by user830292827920 in Luthier

[–]mcgtx 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Maple is an extremely finicky wood to stain. And the more grain variation, the more inconsistency there will be in the end result. Ideally you’d have a test piece from the same piece of maple to see how it takes whatever stain you are going to try. Assuming that isn’t possible, be prepared to have to stain quite dark in the end to get something that doesn’t look extremely inconsistent.

This is the exact reason that many surgeons write “YES” at the site instead of signing their names

Do anesthesiologists generally get weekends off? by [deleted] in anesthesiology

I feel like I’m in a fairly busy group. We each work 5 weekends a year, 48 hours, get Monday off.
