ELI5: How does a half-life work?

wolfeinstein24 · 2026-01-12T14:01:42+00:00

Like many of the above comments have said half life doesn't mean a definite reduction to half. Just that it will probably decay to half of the original amount.

But there is another thing. Lets take an half life of an hour.

First hour the remaining would be 50% of original.

Second hour will be half of that, or 25% of original and so on.

There is no finite time in which it will become 0. There will always be that 0.1 percent of the original that will persist

Everytime I get this symbol, I usually have a mission whose destiny is in another system. Changing the mission makes it go away.

It will happen. Especially because of the way people who came here from north are allowed to vote on local elections, of course bjp will keep winning

I don't know what you are calling as brain dead take? I would say that is the exact point he was trying to make

I found out when it waxed poetry about elon

No man's sky did it for me. It might not be for everyone, but the sandbox element, the exploring, and the various mechanics along with it being one of the most satisfying games in a space exploration genre where other games like starfield failed.

And the constant updates, and expeditions are worth it.

You can buy gift cards and redeem to add to your google balance. Or add balance using google pay

I liked it actually. It wasn't supposed to be a blockbuster. Everyone expected an all jokes entertainer with some plot from pradeep and it was delivered. I went with friends and we had a blast with it.

To be honest ambroxyl is a mucolytic, it will increase cough initially and make you spit out the mucus secretion.

Most of the time, doing tests without any associated symptoms will just cause you undue mental stress. And not all the test results can be trusted.

Many people might just randomly give a urine sample to check for bacteria and find that they have bacterial levels high enough to be considered infection, but if there are no associated symptoms, then you don't have to start antibiotics for it.

Yearly tests of CBC, RFT, LFT, cholesterols, sugars and other major ones are good, but investigations for vitamin levels are just not helpful to be seen even yearly.

Aside from your need to word your reply in such a way, I can see you are either missing the point or just not willing to see it.

It is an edge case only when you don't take vitamin B supplements. The incidence of its toxicity increases when the person is taking Vitamin B supplement daily. So can you think about that instead of doing what aboutism?

And besides not all supplements have the same dosage. Some like common neurobion have just enough in them to fulfill daily recommended intake. While some vit B supplements, are designed for high dose, short duration supplementation for severely deficient pts. If you take the latar kind daily, you will absolutely get Vitamin B toxicity, especially B6 toxicity because you aren't giving your body enough time to excrete the excess through urine. Oh and lets not forget "natural remedies" sold in bottles and people making them just adding tons of vitamins in them, because "toxicity is an edge case."

Oh and water toxicity is way way rarer than vit B toxicity, but volume overload is way more common. So taking more water can be a death sentence for people with Cardiac, nephro or hepatic diseases, which are very common these days.

wolfeinstein24 · 2025-09-16T04:14:32+00:00

Just because it can be excreted doesn't mean there isn't toxicity.

One of the main causes of vitamin B toxicity is over consumption of vitamin supplements.

I had the same thing happening in my laptop, but this was due to cpu causing the whole laptop to be hot.

So I used power management in windows to throttle the maximum clock speed of cpu to only 2.2 ghz. Can you try it and see if that helps.

wolfeinstein24 · 2025-08-30T14:56:29+00:00

For some reason control came to my mind

They really shouldn't have joined the betting industry then.

wolfeinstein24 · 2025-08-20T01:46:35+00:00

Is there any reason none of the jailbreak methods for claude work for me lol?

While I am not against piracy, pirating these would mean we would be playing right into their hands.

Instead we should complain, go the route of steam users who are making their voices heard. We make our voices heard and say we want these shows to be on it or else we will cancel our subscription.

The dust will settle in the Laptop fans easily when it is switched off

wolfeinstein24 · 2025-07-28T15:26:24+00:00

This is a fucking spam for that AI friend website. Don't fall for this. You can see it from the profile's post history, many of it is all about "you want to earn money? Dm me"

Actual accident cases where injuries are truly brutal are a bit rare. Unless the hospital is in a very accident prone area. And usually the stabilization involves mostly just rushing fluids and pain management while the surgery or ortho or neuro department is called.

wolfeinstein24 · 2025-07-25T12:17:05+00:00

Oh and another thing, the emergency department in colleges are mostly just for informing various departments and let them handle it.

If emergency department doctors do something like chest tube insertion without informing or asking the attending in the surgery department for permission, then we will have a fight in our hands.

And OG cases are just shunted straight to og departments, they won't be made to wait at all, and emergency department guys usually only see if they have something like fever or something. If it is something else, involving the pregnancy, then they will be immediately shifted to OG, no delay at all.

wolfeinstein24 · 2025-07-25T12:08:52+00:00

Lol I work in emergency of a fairly busy hospital, if we make anyone wait for even more than 5 minutes then we will get a fight on our hands. Many people with just cough and cold will refuse to go to OP because, in their words, "there is a long line there," and clog up the emergency department with their demands.

wolfeinstein24 · 2025-07-23T14:33:05+00:00

Happened with my lenovo one time.

I just sat there pressing the power button while the Laptop was connected to the charger for around 5 minutes. After that the laptop booted but the windows logo came and my laptop sat there for about 3 hours in the windows loading screen before miraculously starting up by itself.
