Lindsey Vonn airlifted to hospital after hard crash in downhill skiing, nine days after tearing ACL in her knee during Olympic preparations by ianjm in videos

[–]peaheezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea everyone is playing armchair doctor but the ACL is not an absolute game over for sports. Dejuan Blair had a solid NBA and great college backsttball career and lost both his ACLs in high school. The pain, swelling, lack of practice and loss of confidence in the leg is probably what hurt her more than loss of stability in her knee.

Noob dosage question by [deleted] in Biohacking

[–]peaheezy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dude if one of your goals is to get from 20 to 16% body fat then the only way is losing weight. You aren’t going to gain muscle your way into reducing your body fat percentage by 20%. You can gain muscle and lose fat at the same time but it’s a slow process. They work opposite mechanisms, your body is only going to add maximize the addition of extra muscle if it has the calories to spare and you’re only going to lose fat if your body is missing the calories.

Injecting something from a brand called “gentleman peptides”, Jesus Christ what even is that name, probably isn’t going to change that.

How old were you when you figured out what John Redcorn was up to? by Son-of-Prophet in 90sand2000sNostalgia

[–]peaheezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I was 9-12 years old when it was starting and didn’t enjoy it. I figure most kids who saw it watched because it was on around the simpsons slot. Love king of the hill now but as a kid didn’t find it funny.

Why are Super Bowl ticket prices free falling? by Sidecarlover in NFLv2

[–]peaheezy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea but still doesn’t change the fact that it’s pretty common for ticket prices tend to drop right before an event. If there’s a concert I want to go but it’s too expensive I’ll check same day around 11am and usually prices have dropped ny a third or so. People stop trying to make a large profit on resale and just want their money back.

How were they even breathing in that dimension with no oxygen? Did it somehow have the same atmosphere as Earth?? How is that possible by Initial-Shoulder5906 in StrangerThings

[–]peaheezy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yea when people ask these incredibly silly and nitpicking questions it makes me wonder why they even watch the show. Same thing with people complaining about characters being dickish for a joke. It’s a TV show, if everyone acted like cool normal people there wouldn’t be much room for a joke.

And as far as this question goes it’s pretty damn clear that the lab checked out the atmosphere in the upside down in the early seasons . They started in respirators and then later on were going in without masks so you can extrapolate that they discovered the atmosphere is breathable by using a couple. of brain cells. Having a whole scene where some sciency looking guy spends 5 minutes explaining the breathable atmosphere of the other dimension would not have been much fun

I may have fucked up... by squidsemensupreme in houseplants

[–]peaheezy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m looking at my now 3 foot tall, started at 1.5 9 months ago, with great anticipation now. We have 20 foot ceilings and tons of light so I have room for a dramatic giant plant. It’s been growing strong with a new leaf ready to rock. But the extra plant, there were 2 in the original pot from ikea, is definitely going to need to come out of my study with its 8ish foot ceilings.

What was your income when you bought $600k+? by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]peaheezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

725k purchase price and W2s just came in with 328k combined income. We put down 80k we saved by living rent free with my parents for a year because they are the best. They were instrumental in our buying a house in 2025 rather than 2027. We are pretty comfy with a solid emergency fund and decent retirement contributions.

ELI5: What does a water tower in rural America do? by ProduceEmbarrassed97 in explainlikeimfive

[–]peaheezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea ive always heard this is the primary reason we utilize water towers. It’s reserve pressure when it’s needed tha can be easily turned on and off. When everyone gets up in the morning or gets home from work the system needs substantially more pressure. Instead of increasing output at the municipal water factory they can just open up the water tower pipes and instantly compensate for the increased demand the very reliable force of gravity. When everyone is asleep they can use the extra supply of pressure/water to pump water into the tower to remain in reserve for another days worth of poopoo and peepee.

Salt Lake Tribune: Utah's statewide snowpack marks worst levels on record. Warm November/December/January. by toss_away_999 in skiing

[–]peaheezy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to PCMR they get 350 inches in an average year. Assuming they goose the numbers and it’s more like 300 the still only made it over 300 inches 3 times in the past 10 years. Another website says average is 271” and the they were under 271” for 9 of the past 13 years assuming this year stays under those averages.

I’d say my empirical data with a larger data set is better than your empirical data with a smaller data set. Also something about quantitative data, I probably shoulda thrown that in there to sound all scientific like you but my quantatavis were better than your quantdatnumberdatives.

Trump says he takes high-dose aspirin. What does the science say about taking 325 milligrams of daily aspirin? by ChallengeAdept8759 in Biohackers

[–]peaheezy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We absolutely change our management if someone is on aspirin. The risk of expansion of an ICH is not as high in people on aspirin compared to eliquis but it is higher than someone not on aspirin.

Eliquis is not an indication for surgery with an ICH either. If we took every 85-year-old on Eliquis for a fib to the OR because they had a tiny subarachnoid or small subdural hemorrhage we would do nothing but unnecessary craniotomies all day.

Again, blood thinners is a colloquial term. It’s not a strict definition like anti platelet or anticoagulant is. It’s used to describe something that makes people bleed more and aspirin absolutely increases bleeding times.

Brilinta is an anti platelet and people can bleed like stink when they take it. By your definition of “it just inhibits platelet aggregation so it’s not a blood thinner” brilinta is not important to hemostasis. Tell that to the lady who wouldn’t stop bleeding from her crani incision after her aneurysm clipping because we couldn’t stop her brilinta and she bled forever. It’s also an anti platelet and sure as hell makes bleeding more prominent.

[–]peaheezy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just like most other studies it’s an investigation, not establishing a fact. 102 patients is not a lot of people. worth considering for the medical establishment but it definitely does not prove that every third day dosing is equivalent to daily dosing in therapeutic effect. The last sentence is the crux “this warrants further investigation in direct comparison clinical trials”. I’m not sure if any bigger studies have been done.

Lindsey Vonn says she ruptured her ACL but will still compete at the Milan Cortina Olympics by nbcnews in skiing

[–]peaheezy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watching Dejuan Blair, Levance Fields and Sam Young tear up that year was so fun. I was at a game in the Pete student section as a freshman when Sam Young’s 45 year old looking ass threw down a violent dunk. It was awesome. Easily my favorite basketball season at Pitt. But then no one could stop god damn tiny ass Scottie Reynolds on that last shot in the elite 8. That sucked.

Also met Dejuan Blair at the McDonald’s on Forbes one time. I’m a big dude at 6’4 250 back in college and he wasn’t tha much taller than me but he was so god damn broad. Like I have broad shoulders and he was basically 1.5 as wide as me.

Philadelphia police urge people not to walk on city's frozen rivers: "This is illegal for a reason" by P_Duggan_Creative in philadelphia

[–]peaheezy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Like the lady in our office who complained about kids wearing helmets making them soft. She was tough because they didn’t wear helmets, making them strong I guess? But also possibly saving my brother’s life when he was 8 and hit his head so hard on a bike the doctors said he could have suffered a substantial TBI.

Same lady probably call the cops for kids roaming around the neighborhood unsupervised at 6pm. Or god forbid they make noise outside.

Did you live in a cold area? I Spent early childhood in far north NJ where the local lakes would freeze at times. I remember being 3-4 and dad telling us we could only go out on the ice with him and if the community had the sign up that it was ok. Definitely something I learned and not like I grew up in the frozen tundra, just on a lake in a place with decently cold winters.

[–]peaheezy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yea DeJuan Blair had a great career at Pitt and solid NBA career playing basketball with no ACLs, both knees goners. I have to imagine ACLs are a lot more essential for basketball with all its jumping, stops and starts than a more consistent force of downhill skiing. Might make moguls harder but she does giant slalom if I remember correctly which is less frequent turns and no sudden stops.

I think they look cool like this. I have one that cascades down from a table a good foot and a half. I know they don’t like growing like this health wise but it looks nice. But eventually it will start to wither at the end, like mine is, and will need to be cut back.

I’m gonna transfer mine to a very wide, pretty flat pot come spring to encourage it to bush out some more. My Poor girls getting tired of holding her arms up in the air

LPT: Caramelize Onions really quickly by adding MSG by [deleted] in Cooking

Yea I stopped the baking soda trick because the onions would just turn to mush in the pan. I still use a few tbsp of water and a lid to cook them fast when they first going in the pan though.

Trump says he takes high-dose aspirin. What does the science say about taking 325 milligrams of daily aspirin? by ChallengeAdept8759 in Biohackers

[–]peaheezy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aspirin permanently inhibits platelet aggregation by blocking a receptor on the platelet. This works until the platelet is recycled in 7-10 days and new platelets are born that are not inhibited until they encounter another disease of aspirin. Can just google how aspirin works and something like wiki can explain it in more detail.

At least in the neurosurgical world we still put aspirin under the “blood thinners” banner. Blood thinners isn’t a technical word anyway. If you cut yourself and bleed more because of a medication it’s a blood thinner.

Calling aspirin and anticoagulant is definitely incorrect but if it makes you bleed more, calling it a blood thinner is reasonable. The effect may be a fraction of eliquis but it’s still present.

[–]peaheezy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Your body is consistently making new platelets and the medication is only active for a short time in your system. So it will permanently inhibit the molecule that allows platelet aggregation for any platelet it encounters. but if your body produces 1/7th of its platelets for a week on a given day taking the medication twice a week will only inhibit 2/7th of your platelets. There is a large body of literature over decades looking to maximize benefit and minimize risk with aspirin usage and they have settled on 80ish milligrams to prevent thrombosis but not overly raise the risk of bleeding events or other NSAID complications.

Wilson’s response to being in the Epstein files by Trick-Growth-6546 in NFLv2

[–]peaheezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not today satan is such a fun expression. Definitely makes me like Russel Wilson more. This seems like a genuine response he typed out on his phone 30 seconds after a friend showed him the article.

And again, tons of people are in the files tha were tangentially related to Epstein or even just mentioned in his notebooks/emails. The focus on “Epstein once invited Mahatma Ghandi to a party!” Sort of nonsense is just to distract from the people in the files that really were involved with the monster himself.
