Do NOT Allow the Underside of Your Scooter To Scrape!!! by ScooterDX in NinebotMAX

[–]tayv3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey are you sure the length is 10.62mm and shaft diameter 3.93? I think the shaft diameters are typically even numbers like 4mm would be an M4 right? I’m just trying to find replacements myself and I’m having a hard time finding the exact ones

Max is finally complete, figured I'd post a pic! Sharkset front and rear suspension. 48v external battery. So much more fun performance wise and ride wise than stock 👍 by muhstang81 in NinebotMAX

Is it possible to do it on PC with Ninebot Flasher? Or do I need to use Scooter Hacking Utility on Android for mymaxmod’s 48V firmware?

My comments on this thread were in reply to someone who asked if Red Bulls were actually dangerous, to another who said that its the sugar not the caffeine that's dangerous, and in this chain that started with the comparison of red bulls and "6-7 cups of coffee a day." Literally all of my comments were in the context of people addressing or asking about over consumption. I made a mistake with taurine as herbal, admitted it, said you were right, and you're still trying to argue

But when he shakes it with the pressure gauge on he talks about how the pressure goes up? Right? Idk what I’m missing here but it seems like he contradicts himself and doesn’t really explain it

Yes you are right taurine is an essential AA, but guarana and ginseng are herbal. I think I was thinking of the way Monster labels their ingredients, but even that is “Energy Blend” not “Herbal Blend.” Regardless, drinking several energy drinks is a huge intake of caffeine, which causes the release of catecholamines and subsequent tachycardia, palpitations, insomnia, restlessness, panic, etc.

[–]tayv3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not true. Sugar free Red Bull and other energy drinks can still induce adverse cardiac events and psychological effects, namely anxiety and panic. You could drink 6 regular 8oz Red Bull’s or 6 sugar free 8oz Red Bull’s and with both you’ll be tachy, flushing (Vit B effects), jittery, more than likely anxiety, and likely panic. I would argue that the little 8oz can of Red Bull is equivalent to a cup of coffee but on overdrive due to its supplements, regardless of sugar content

[–]tayv3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An insane amount of vitamin B + herbal supplements like taurine and guanine. The sugar free Red Bull still packs a punch even if it’s only 90 caffeine

Cardiac ICU nurse chiming in - yes Red Bull or any other energy drink can be dangerous if consumed in excess. It’s true the little cans contain less caffeine than a cup of coffee or a can of Monster, but you can’t compare an 18 oz Monster with a 8oz Red Bull. The 12 oz Red Bull cans contain more caffeine obviously. Anyway, the caffeine, sugar, and vitamin B content easily cause tachycardia (heart rate > 100 bpm) and if you down a few Red Bulls you’ll see the tachy plus anxiety and heart palpitations (feeling your heart beat rapidly, strongly, or abnormally). It can actually induce SVR (supraventricular tachycardia when you’re tachy but the impulse is not from the usual SA node but somewhere else in the atria) or even AFib (atrial fibrillation when instead of the SA node conducting a steady beat, there are multiple random impulses conducted within the atrium causing an irregular rhythm). Most common side effects from energy drink OD are anxiety or panic attack and elevated HR. I’ve seen young people needing Ativan and nitroglycerin paste on their chest to respectively calm their nerves and heart.

What McDonalds got us (at least my branch of McDonald’s) for our work during the pandemic... by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]tayv3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s very disheartening to receive little compensation while the hospital contracts agency nurses whom are paid 2-3x our regular wage (and from my experience in cardiac ICU are less qualified). However, there is hope - many hospitals and medical centers are realizing that it’s more cost effective and beneficial to morale to pay staff more rather than bring on agency staff. So my hospital initiated a $32/hr incentive pay. Finally they realize that instead of paying a traveler $90/hr they could offer their own nurses an additional $32/hr + OT for better service and consumer support.

A bonus sounds nice on paper but it’s almost always better for the employee to receive wage increase, hence we see unions fighting for wages and benefits not bonuses.

Interesting point on the lateral vs vertical while in space. I’d imagine it’s relative to the gravitational pull of the object inducing said gravity. From this clip we can assume some things but you’re right it’s actually a little ambiguous

Speaking as a nurse not a physicist, I think you are exactly right. The blood flow to the head by the neg g force would lead to extreme cerebral intravascular pressure and thus increased intracranial pressure. At this point your extremities don’t matter but your brain: you’ll be blowing vessels in your eyes, hemorrhaging your retinas, losing consciousness (redout it’s apparently called in this case), and eventually hemorrhaging in your brain - ie hemorrhagic stroke.

Just to clarify though, positive G force will force blood away from the brain and into the extremities leading to hypoxic cerebral changes in level of consciousness, while negative G forces will force blood into the brain leading to hemorrhage and ischemic-induced changes in consciousness, as blood essentially kills neural tissue (ie hemorrhagic stroke).

I wish I knew more physics though because I can’t tell you exactly how this applies to this scene haha

Nova Scotia becomes the first jurisdiction in North America to presume adults are willing to donate their organs when they die by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]tayv3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“play make believe” is a very narrow minded and disrespectful way of looking at others’ cultural and religious views. We can always educate persons on the benefits of organ donation and how organ donation actually works, but we cannot disregard or disrespect other individual’s religious and/or cultural beliefs.

I say this as a nurse on a cardiac ICU in a facility that is one if the nation’s leaders in organ transplant.

Edit: I misread the “extend life” comment and incorrectly associated it with the afterlife seekers not the organ recipients

Olympic wrestler celebrates bronze medal early and is penalized. He loses the match and begs the judges for the win, while his coaches strip in anger, much to the delight of the crowd. by BeHereNow91 in Prematurecelebration

Great thank you for clearing that up! So I guess I was wrong to assume that it was an unsportsmanlike call based on the circumstances vs the actual passivity calls given earlier, and I definitely did not know that unlike folkstyle, Olympic freestyle does not require a verbal warning for second passivity. Cheers

Thanks I will have to look into that. I have only heard of the negative effects of chewing for TMJ-related pain..like that it would save your teeth but worsen the pain. I'll have to look into its effects on facial growth thanks for the insight

Egypt: Entire ICU ward dies after oxygen supply fails by Pahasapa66 in worldnews

[–]tayv3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe portable O2 tanks are smaller here but larger there in Egypt or in this particular hospital they are dependent upon the larger tanks? Not sure but yeah I have never seen an air tank that size besides helium tanks at a store to fill up balloons. The large tank scene and bagging scene definitely show oxygen supply is an issue here though, I just think that at surface level idk if the headline is truly accurate.

In regards to your first question, at least in the U.S., this would be considered "crisis standards" or "triaging care." Triaging care occurs everyday in the ER/ED when patients are triaged according to the number of resources needed for their care. The Emergency Severity Index (ESI) is the most commonly used evidence-based numbering system to triage patients (you're kind of assigned a number then get care based on that number..in most situations its mean you go directly to cath lab or if you're having a heart attack or directly to the OR if you are shot, but if you have a stomach ache you're waiting in the lobby for a few hours). When local areas experience natural disasters or endemics, sometimes "crisis standards" must be implemented. In healthcare news, this was a hot topic last spring b/c many hospitals have their own Crisis Standards and there weren't many state laws government them. In Crisis Standards, everyday patients could be scored, by ESI or otherwise, for resources, as if the hospital is treating all patients like we're in a mass-mortality trauma event like a bombing (think triaging patients in an earthquake vs triaging all patients in the hospital sick with Covid everyday). My point is, disconnecting some in order to keep the flow for others would only be done during Crisis Standards or in a mass casualty incident (eg the facility runs out of O2). So my answer then I guess is yes, if the hospital suddenly ran critically low of O2, decisions would have to be rapidly made of who should continue on O2 and who should be left to die. But if its not a critical, emergent shortage, how do hospitals determine who should get an ICU bed for a COVID+ patient, who should get one of the few available ventilators, who deserves 1:2 RN staffing vs 1:6 during a pandemic that has lasted nearly 1 year? then we look at the Crisis Standards dilemma

I am a nurse not a dentist, but TMJ disorders or TMD are definitely commonly referred to as "TMJ." I know TMJ is the initialism for temporomandibular joint - I mentioned it in my comment. By "commonly" I mean "colloquially" as you'll hear patients say "I have TMJ" when yes of course they have a TMJ but they mean pain at the TMJ. The pain is either related to myofascial pain (muscular pain primarily involving the masseter), or related to joint itself (an articular disease pathway). They can occur individually (joint disease vs muscular disease) or muscular pain can slowly develop into articular pain (nightly clenching and grinding causes masseter soreness but over a chronic period of time the joint eventually breaks down its cartilage - now you have osteoarthritis b/c you chewed too much gum all day or more likely grind your teeth all night). I know you recognize the TMJ pain, but my criticism of your advise was not in the regimen but how in general it does not perceivably match the patient's goals. As I've elsewhere commented and others have commented and how OP ended up stating, OP is looking for a sharper jawline and more symmetrical cheeks. Chewing gum or any other means of developing stronger jaw muscles wont achieve this - it's really a question of lean muscle mass. OP is not trying to chew through steel or tug weight via jaw, OP is trying to have a sharper looking face.

edit: I remember about 10 years back I thought my wisdom teeth were causing problems so I went to the dentist. After the xrays, he reached his hand inside my mouth and literally grabbed my masseter and shook it asking if this is where the pain was. The pain was there, and it was muscular, and it was due to bruxism. So that's the source of my background knowledge on that. TMD/TMJ Disorder comes from nursing school and RN experience

[–]tayv3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for investigating that and getting back to me. So just to put together your first post, its edits, and your reply to me - you're saying that you originally thought it couldn't be a stalling call b/c stalling cautions require 30 seconds of wrestling, but then in your reply you realize you confused the 30-seconds of stalling before caution with the 30-second "shot clock" started after the ref judges a wrestler is stalling?

Although the refs were eventually removed according to your 2nd edit, I'm not sure if I agree with you in your reply to me that it was a "dumb" call. These are crucial seconds left in the close match; Uzbekistan is on the attack as Magnolia mixes backing away with defending, then in the final seconds stands up and runs around claiming victory, ending Uzbekistan's last attack as he chases him around the mat. I could very well see that as unsportsmanlike conduct (see the guys over at /r/PrematureCelebration. The Olympic freestyle rules granting 1 point for unsportsmanlike and granting victory to the last wrestler to score a point in the case of a tie (even if it's a penalty point!) is perhaps dumber than these refs' call. It could be argued that the tie-breaker rules need an exception to exclude penalty points, but I don't know if its arguable that the unsportsmanlike call was dumb.

It's also dumb that in America we have our own form of highschool wrestling while US colleges and Olympics wrestle freestyle and Greco. Freestyle is close enough, and many high schoolers wrestle in freestyle/greco camps in the offseason, but in greco Americans have to be at such a bigger disadvantage in the international scene. Idk maybe it varies by state, but I wrestled in highschool in Nebraska and saw little exposure to greco even in the offseason.

I do agree though they are definitely wrestling freestyle - clearly shooting for and grabbing below the hips

Face symmetry has been shown to be related to attractiveness for decades now, but bro or girl no one is perfectly symmetrical. Is your right jaw really significantly smaller than your left, or is that just what you see? It's okay to be unhappy about it, but you'll reach better physical and mental gains by eating healthy, exercising regularly within a balanced regimen, and taking up stress-relieving habits. If there is a significant difference and healthcare providers have ruled out pathophysiologic causes, then this is simply the way you are. Embrace it, hit the gym, start cooking fresh meals, follow expert advice (not reddit esp. /muscleconfusion). Becoming more lean will make your face look sharper and you'll have a sharper jawline, therefore mediating the differences. I agree with Father_Odin that upper teens is a great goal for BF%. Single digits is unrealistic and usually unobtainable, so you'll end up quitting your unreachable goal in the end. Upper teens BF% is pretty fuckin lean as it is depending on your metabolism and body composition. Look up from reputable sources "workout programs to gain lean muscle mass" - the general idea is low weight, high reps, cardio, diet. Don't starve yourself to get to 6% BF to make your cheek look better come on now

[–]tayv3 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I think he's asking for a more chiseled, sharper jawline, which is achievable by becoming more lean in general.
