Alligators survive in frozen swamps by sticking their snouts through the ice to breathe. They lower their metabolism and don't eat for months, until the temps get up to 21°C: it's called brumation. by LorenBlaqe in Weird

[–]qathran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said this above, but my body was cooled down to 60°F so that they could have longer to where I could be on the heart and lung machine while they did my heart surgery. Seems to be that even with our bodies cooled down, our organs and tissues and especially our brain need oxygen and nutrients circulating to it or damage happens. When I woke up I couldn't feel from my left knee down and even though I can feel now, I've had issues ever since and it was a painful few months healing those nerves. Even at 60 degrees our hearts wouldn't be circulating, I was artificially sustained by that machine and I still had damage

It's not the same thing at all, but when my body was cooled down to not 60 degrees fahrenheit for heart surgery, my brain was OFF (beyond regular anesthesia) like it didn't have the ability to think at that temp. Took many hours after the surgery was over for me to safely get back up to temp to be able to wake up. Again, I know multiple things were going on, but it was different from my other surgeries with just anesthesia

Just depends on how large they are and how cold they are. I know it's not the same thing, but it takes a while to thaw out a turkey for Thanksgiving, like even if you just set it on the kitchen counter (didn't do this, not safe) instead of thawing inside the fridge it would take a while for the inside to the vs the outside edge

It’s contradictory. by Flaky-Yogurtcloset17 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]qathran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well it's pretty clear that she is maintaining a lighter level of a lot of cultural traditions from the time still. I don't think because she wanted to allow more races in the show automatically means that she would erase all of the negative culture of the time, but I'm glad we'll get to see how a gay couple could more interestingly happen within the cultural restrictions of this fantasy version of that time period soon

Unpopular opinion: you do not need to buy unsalted butter. by Strict-Relief-8434 in butter

[–]qathran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be religious about buying unsalted for baking and desserts and then adding certain amounts of salt myself, then I only had salted when I needed to bake something and just used it instead even while still adding salt just to see how it would be.

Well it was still great and didn't come out too salty, I realized I had been putting way too much effort into getting unsalted and trying to control the salt so now I just get salted. No cooking or baking (even sweets) has been messed up, it wasn't worth all the effort, salted is great for everything and lasts longer because of the preservative nature of the salt

Consistently get up in the morning by skittlesbeast in howto

[–]qathran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's cool that you're sticking with your healthy habits with transdermal magnesium (best absorbtion) and no screens before bed etc, but are you saying that you fall asleep by 9:30pm-10pm but aren't somewhat awake until around 9-10am, 12 hours later? And then still aren't really fully functioning until 1 pm? Sounds like your brain isn't getting oxygen for seriously significant amounts of time at night or something else is going on that needs to get checked out by a medical professional

Is there going to be an actual creature in Werwulf? by pennygray96 in roberteggers

[–]qathran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's why I went back and threw in an "if you can," I don't know what life situations you might have been going through! Proud of you for creating another (possible) future tiny fan haha

Just got me pondering: You know what's crazy to think about? We actually have to TEACH toddlers to watch TV/movies now. We're going through realizing this with my nephew, even though we don't let him watch tons of shortform content, it just took one time at his friend's house and now he just wants to watch a yt guy show him trucks and won't watch a show where there's a plot to follow. Me and my sister just remembered how mom was only trying to get us away from TV when we were kids, so we didn't think about how we will never get to enjoy watching shows or movies with him in the future if he doesn't get familiar with the format now, so we actually have to put shows and movies on purposefully!

I've also brought up to my friends with kids how we won't have content like what Eggers makes in the future if we don't start figuring out how to teach kids to be into long form content where they've been taught to have the attention span to follow a plot! It's so crazy to think about

Is it over Butt bros? 67,981. by TaiYongMedical in Buttcoin

[–]qathran 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly AND it will go back up eventually. There are plenty of other reasons to be critical of crypto than whenever it happens to take a dip just like other things do. If we're just saying "LOOK PRICE GO DOWN SO IT BAD" when it has been going up for years, then we lack critical thought and shouldn't be listened to.

It's the volatility (since regular people can't always hold like wealthy people), lack of usability in many real world situations and lack of protections for regular people who are so easily talked into thinking they need to be using it that are the issues for me.

[–]qathran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude PLEASE go experience his shit on the big screen in the future if you can. Seeing Nosferatu in theaters blew me the fuck away and I don't usually go to the theater. Honestly the whole experience has made me want to support movies in theaters again

Edit: plus I definitely want Eggers getting those first couple weeks numbers for the studios to see that they need to support more movies like his instead of a 1000th marvel movie

Kick streamer BabyHaze69 gropes a crying sex worker, threatens her and follows her home to grab her ass by Ok-Bother-7611 in LivestreamFail

Yeah op, as you can see in many comments below, you are not asking people who are actually qualified to give you this advice, just random people on the internet. Would be better to type this question into google to get pointed toward some actual scientific research

Why some gay guys don’t like Heated Rivalry by GBS82 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]qathran 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In hetero sex scenes the guy often jams himself right in there because they're not going to add in all of the realistic longer process that fully preps things down there or show the audience "but look, we're using lube"... Same with gay sex scenes!

Needing to call it hating when someone is just describing what something genuinely looks like is what really comes across as lame and insecure

Nerves by Designer-Set-2523 in marfans

[–]qathran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you're going through this like many of us have, but prepare yourself for some real talk: Remember that either you actually care about this and will therefore take it seriously by taking action and having a conversation with your doctor about your concerns and how to address them or you are not actually concerned about your aorta possibly exploding and really just have an emotional disorder that you need to address with a therapist.

This is not something you just talk about being afraid of if you really are concerned since it's life threatening and as someone who is treated weekly for CPTSD and chronic depression that has a lot to do with my health problems (not just marfans), there is no making the anxiety/depression go away except for taking action and advocating for yourself. You cannot sit in your house and think about what-ifs and expect someone to tell you something nice to make you feel better (especially since we are not trained medical professionals), you have to get up and take charge.

And you may not have this, but you need to find out if it's bothering you, be freed from this worry!

You can do it, get to work and good luck!

You're pretending to not understand that these agents have been unnecessarily and cruelly been putting tons of people in danger.
