hashmymustache··on DVD sales surpass Blu-ray in 2021: Physical format market
Including if you’re in another country. I owned a movie on Vudu that I wasn’t able to stream in Canada due to licensing rights.
hashmymustache··on One centimeter long bacterium discovered
Every saltwater tank owner knows the frustration of bubble algae.
hashmymustache··on Dropbox Shop Beta
I just don’t understand why they don’t have a lower cost tier less than 2Tb.
hashmymustache··on Graduate Student’s Side Project Proves Prime Number Conjecture
No kidding. I admire people who decide to pursue math or physics without that edge. So much easier to jump into engineering or medicine.
hashmymustache··on The state of external retina displays
Home computer displays for radiologists can cost well over $10K. Of course they dont have to pay for it themselves though. And they can make over $600K working from home reading images all day.
hashmymustache··on Water drinking acutely improves orthostatic tolerance in healthy subjects (2002)
It’s not that simple. Physiology is a very dynamic system so I appreciate any corrections. But, basically the venous system has a lot of compliance and capacitance holding 70% or so of your blood volume in a euvolemic state. You can easily maintain blood pressure and arterial volume while dehydrated.

Orthostatics refers to change in blood pressure when standing. Every time you stand up you lengthen a large column of blood that gravity wants to pull to the bottom of your feet. Pressure sensors in your neck (where blood goes to the brain) immediately tell the autonomic nervous system about the sudden drop which sends a response to increase heart rate and increase resistance in the arterial system to maintain output and arterial pressure so you don’t pass out. To accommodate this you pull extra volume from the large venous pool to continue optimally filling the heart with each stroke. If your venous pool is low, the extra refill volume and venous pressure isn’t available to keep up with the sudden demand and the arterial pressure drops.

We have different medication classes that can selectively slow the heart down or decrease blood pressure by preventing increased resistance in the arterial system and those folks are also at risk of orthostatic hypotension because of blocking those compensatory mechanisms.

Except Steve Jobs famously died of neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer.
hashmymustache··on How to get back into a hacked Facebook account
People use FB as a photo backup service?
hashmymustache··on Apple requires account deletion within apps in AppStore starting January 31
That’s every newspaper online. And gym memberships. And many others. Easy to get, pain in the ass to end.

So the XX group on anabolic steroids won’t be an issue?
hashmymustache··on Survey shows people no longer believe working hard will lead to a better life
How about high income through athletics or modeling? Should any two children be equally likely to make it professionally?
hashmymustache··on Tech giants join call for funding U.S. chip production
I emotionally agree as you are correct and it is infuriating, but on the other hand it is the responsibility of the federal government to protect (subsidize, trade policy), and regulate domestic production of vital goods. Companies exported manufacturing because the government, elected by its citizens, did nothing to stop them. On some level it is very much the tax payer responsible for recalibrating the imbalance even if they aren’t to blame.
hashmymustache··on Challenges Building an Open-Source E Ink Laptop
Is the reMarkable 2 tablet not a fit for that? Haven’t tried it myself so not sure what its limitations are.
hashmymustache··on Apple Introduces AirTag
With mortality figures as low as they are it’s hard to see that number decreasing considerably with increased regulation. In each example there appears to be morbidity secondary to unacceptably delayed medical diagnosis. It is incredibly easy to spot a battery on a plain film and an infant/toddler presenting with the symptoms described warrants immediate suspicion.

Turns out it’s just Tom Brady.
hashmymustache··on Why outsource your auth system?
Is there a good one that integrates with Express?
hashmymustache··on Space things happening in 2021
Picking Halloween is an interesting launch date. That said it’s hard to believe any timeline or budget at this point.
hashmymustache··on YouTube to remove content that alleges widespread election fraud
Funny how the comment you’re responding to said Russian collusion but you instead bring up the separate topic of Russian interference.
hashmymustache··on Stop Penalizing Boys for Not Being Able to Sit Still at School (2013)
Not to mention boys have lower grade averages across the country and women make up almost 60% of college students. You don’t have to be a men’s activist to recognize that if those trends were reversed such a disparity would receive a lot of attention with social pressure to recalibrate the learning environment.
hashmymustache··on Why is there a normal galaxy sitting at the edge of the Universe?
Does that expansion provide potential energy by creating space between attractive bodies? If so how do you account for conservation of energy?
hashmymustache··on OpenCore bootloader – open-sourced Apple UEFI drivers, enabling Hackintosh
You definitely can use later OS releases just need to manually install the drivers using something like https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/nvidia-update
hashmymustache··on U.S. FAA proposes requiring key Boeing 737 MAX design changes
Sure but there’s a big difference between not wanting someone in your family to have surgery and not wanting them to go to a specific surgeon.
hashmymustache··on America is giving up on the pandemic?
People denying this transparent shift to accomodate political advocacy are lying or intentionally blind to it.
hashmymustache··on AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Review: Why Is This Amazon's Best Selling CPU?
Glad I bought mine before that craze. Has that opened a cheap used GPU market or did they burn them out?

What a lame comment, the tyranny of moral busybodies enacting general rules on language construction.
hashmymustache··on Two Months with Powershell on a Unix
From the Microsoft website: “The telemetry reporting can be disabled by setting the environment variable POWERSHELL_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT to true, yes, or 1. This should not be done in your profile, as PowerShell reads this value from your system before executing your profile.”

Where are you getting low specificity for antibody tests? Most I’ve seen are 98+% with lower sensitivities.

It's too bad Apple is blocking Nvidia from releasing graphics card drivers for the more recent OSX versions.
hashmymustache··on Nitric oxide inhibits the replication cycle of SARS coronavirus (2004)
I think you’ve posted enough on a sensitive health topic in a difficult time that you should either post credentials, not comment so frequently as if an authority, or end your comments either saying you are or are not a doctor. It’s to a point where I think admins should nuke these threads. I’m an MD anesthesiologist at an academic center where we have been trialing NO for about a month on these patients - see that wasn’t that hard.

Edit: and just to add, credentials are to make the audience aware of the context and bias of the presenter, not to validate them. A virologist, biochemist, infectious disease specialist, nutritionist, epidemiologist, public health employee, and undergrad aspiring biology major have different perspectives and understanding of the domains involved. Witholding that context (with hostility) should always be suspect.

hashmymustache··on New X-ray technique images soft-tissue tumors clearer than MRI
I'm not sure what you mean by movement of blood induces currents. The magnetic gradients are what induce current in the body, but usually more peripherally where the gradients are steepest and in big nerve bundles like sciatic.

When I would put humans in our 7T machine they'd sometimes feel their leg kicking during the acquisition. Because it's actively shielded with a pretty steep magnetic field from 0 to 7T you have to advance them into the scanner very slowly otherwise they can become very uncomfortable and nauseous.
