Fentanyl (and the derivative the vaccine works on) have very short half-lives, which is ideal for _minimal_ dosing during surgery. Any drug that lengthens the QT interval, or fucks with the S wave will bring about catastrophic heart failur

Not really. There are people for whom Fentanyl is the only real choice for use _during_ surgery. I'm one of them, and I don't want doctors mucking about inside my chest without ample pain relief.

What about twilight anesthesia? With my cardiac problem, I can't have general anesthetics, but I can have Fentanyl/Midazolam to sedate and numb up a bit. Saying "it's specific to fentanyl" doesn't help those

Reasonably common and significant name in Kampuchea. One of the things these lists reveal is the depth of cultural bias out there.

I don't believe this is a fair comparison of choices in language design, as it almost ignores Smalltalk and relatives. Almost all the "issues" of language design listed don't exist in Smalltalk (and others), and when he

It means whatever it wants in "certain" contexts. I've never seen the word "certain" used to imply so many vague, uncertain things before.

IPs are shared by many machines these days, in particular CGNAT bundles many machines in potentially very disperse locations together. You can't identify the source of DDOS by whois in that case.

I have an ICD, and have had to have two lead revisions, once when the lead failed to implant, and the second when it cracked. My resting pulse is 100bpm, and the device overpaces me if I exceed 140bpm (unless having sex, when it kicks in a

I bought a hemp t-shirt in the early 1980s. I wore it up to the early noughties. Hemp clothing outlasts cotton and most synthetics in my experience. So is it better? Depends.

We had to use nib-based pens until 1st Form, when we were allowed biros. Suddenly my clothes were no longer soaked in ink, my pages were no longer Rorshach inspired artworks. And my writing, for the first time ever, was legible. This is w

We'd feed birds crab shells every second day for a week or two. When the hard boiled eggs were cut open we'd have concentric red/orange rings in the yolk.

I grew up on an organic, free-range poultry farm in the 70s. The current definition of "free range" supports up to 100 full grown birds per m^2. The treatment of battery hens and factory farmed poultry is an obscenity, in my opi

What a blast from the past! I loved Power C. The paper manual was quite amazing - imagine all the man pages, but informative with examples and superbly written. I kept using that manual for years until it quite literally fell apart, purel

And if done changes the tone of the instrument. Is not unknown amongst the acoustic guitar players that you can improve the tone by subjecting the instrument to recorded music for a _long_ time.

I've owned several acoustic guitar over the last 50 years and guitar tone changes over time, based on how much music it hears/makes. If you take a midrange guitar and put it on a stand near a speaker, and subject it to moderately

My post was downvoted. Here's where the numbers are: https://www.unaids.org/en/resources/fact-sheet It says: New HIV infections have been reduced by 52% since the peak in 1997. In 2020, around 1.5 mil

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of new HIV cases are in Africa, amongst heterosexual clients of sex workers. Maybe your 86% figure might apply in countries like the US where health care is a privilege and not a right. Your last sent

I'm pretty sure that HIV is more prevalent amongst heterosexual people than gay men. Unless you are saying that most Africans are gay, that most SE Asians are gay, and that most Papuans are gay (hint - they're not). In most 1st w

I don't think these numbers are comparable. To the best of my knowledge one cow can fill many cans of cat food, whilst a cat may eat many geckos in a day. Similarly I may eat an entire rabbit in a day, but it'll take a while for

I feel I must point out that people who have been on antidepressants for a long time are not dead by their own hands yet. So the question becomes "Depressed people live longer on antidepressants. How do we make their lives suck less?
