Universe Today is a great source for space science, is 100% ad free, and has a robust RSS feed.

The background… Makes it seem like the person is getting escorted into the woods to be murdered due to their interaction at the grocery store.

Try describing the pain using the OPQRST pneumonic.
Onset - what where you doing when it started? Provocation - does anything make it better or worse Quality - what type of pain is it. Stabbing, burning, etc. Radiating - is the pain in one spot, or does it radiate out to other spots. Severity - what’s the 0-10 pain scale Time - How long has this been occuring
As you can see, Severity is just one of the parts of the assessment.
- Comment on do no harm 1 week ago:
The absolute nature of the scale isn’t THAT important, yeah it gives you an idea of how the pain feels, but what’s more important is how the number changes over time.
If a patient keeps saying “IT’S AN 11!!” for an hour and then now it’s a 9? Great, we’re moving in the right direction.
If someone starts out saying it’s an 11 and suddenly it’s a 15? Well, what changed? Did some meds wear off? Did they shift and move something that increased the pain?
Heck, 90% of the time if I get there and it’s an 11, then just 10 minutes later it’s suddenly a 6 cause they’ve calmed down now that help is there.

They misspelled boldly in this sticker. Wonder if they caught that before the main run.

Most likely blue are the input nodes and green are the output nodes.
- Comment on Are there any decor people here? I ask because in the Big Lebowski it begins with a rug that tied the room together. In your opinion did it? 1 month ago:
Counterpoint.
The dude didn’t have many nice things, but that rug was one of them. He was shown meditating on the new rug, so maybe that was his daily ritual for staying dude-like.
It tied the room together cause it was a quality object that took the focus, in his eyes, off the junk that was everything else.

BNC connections were used on professional level video equipment, if you were rich enough, you could get an extremely high quality computer monitor and video card that used those.
Older computers, especially early home computers sometimes just had composite connectors to a TV. Older computer monitors often had a composite input, but SCART was also an option.
Higher end computer monitors sometimes had similar inputs to early HDTVs, there’s a lot of crossover.

If you were rich enough, could have only used displays with RGB-BNC.
Or maybe they’re kinda crazy and used Component video with a TV screen. (Or composite…)
Or maybe they’re just not that old.

My point is that it hasn’t changed. People have always been people.
- Comment on Excuse the fuck me? 1 month ago:
Plenty of people before 2025 divorced for any number of reasons.
Plenty of people straight up murdered their spouse because divorce wasn’t an option.
Saying “people in the current culture we live in do not place any value on their word or honor” means you have no idea how people in the past lived.
People are today as they have always been, just with different gadgets and environment.

I’d find it hard to believe anything could happen that would cause the moon to be thrown out of it’s orbit enough to end up on the far side of the sun, but leave earth unaffected.
- Comment on Fell off the horizon into a black hole 1 month ago:
The universe is flat.
Most galaxies are semi-flat rotating discs of stars.
Only solid-ish objects like planets, stars, moons, and black holes are spheres.

Yeah, Musk himself made an “ElonGate” joke after the scandal where he (allegedly ) exposed himself to a flight attendant.

Ok. The answer is yes.
But the context is what makes it interesting.
- Comment on [Any Austin] Do Red Dead Redemption 2's Power Lines Connect to Anything? 1 month ago:
With the AnyAustin videos, it’s the journey, not the answer.
If you just want a yes/no, this isn’t the video for you.

Anglerfish lengths can vary from 2–18 cm (1–7 in), with a few species larger than 100 cm (39 in).[36] The largest members are the European monkfish Lophius piscatorius (200 cm (6.6 ft) SL, 57.7 kilograms (127 lb)), the deep-sea warty anglerfish Ceratias holboelli (120 cm (3.9 ft) TL), the giant frogfish Antennarius commerson (45 cm (1.48 ft) TL), and the giant triangular batfish Malthopsis gigas (13.6 cm (0.45 ft)).[37][38][39][40]

Since the speed something is moving away is dependent on the distance, something billions of light years away is absolutely not going to be moving towards us, regardless of its local orbits.
- Comment on Uh oh lol 2 months ago:
If it’s blue shifting from that distance, then it’s likely some advanced technology is moving it in our direction.
There’s not many other explanations for that.

I think you misunderstand how good with computers anyone ever was. Back then if you didn’t care to learn, you just didn’t have one.
Now you either are interested and learn it, or you just use an iPad/iPhone. I know many, many people who never used anything more complicated than an iPad.

Never report vulnerabilities yourself to an organization, always use a neutral, trusted third party to report it.
- Comment on Real milk proteins, no cows: Engineered bacteria pave the way for vegan cheese and yogurt 3 months ago:
No mention of lactose.
Plant based, lactose free milk and cheese would be amazing.
No idea why they’d intentionally add lactose, so I assume it would just be naturally lactose free.
- Comment on Can you have an infinitely long wavelength of light? Or is there some maximum? 4 months ago:
Cause things get named CENTURIES before we understand them, and as we learn more, sometimes it makes sense to rename them, sometimes it is so engrained in daily life nobody would use the new names.

Cause using superman for his actual ideal use would be pretty boring for a comic book.
- Comment on The Lord of the Ringsy-Wingsy 4 months ago:
No, the Teletubbies are the Eloi from The Time Machine. They are simple creatures that can’t possibly understand the technology they use, so they don’t make it or maintain it.
They freak out and go to bed when the sun goes down. Probably because the Morlocks are coming.
The world is far too technologically advanced for it to be Hobbits. The Hobbits are specially written to be essentially self sufficient and don’t desire anything more advanced than beer (and magic fireworks.)

Only if there’s laws in place to keep the ultra rich from buying up multiple properties, otherwise it’s just an opportunity for people to keep hording homes to rent out.
- Comment on Ok, I'll pay you the 1995 price 4 months ago:
McDonald’s STILL has newspapers sitting in a rack next to the counter where I am. Growing up these places had magazines and newspapers available to read. People “back then” didn’t just randomly talk to strangers, they just kept themselves busy with other things.
Yes, there’s a problem with people not interacting physically anymore, but it’s not cause we have electronics, it’s cause people don’t have a place to go outside the home anymore. This is a problem with a lack of community centers and walk-able neighborhoods, not a problem with phones.
