  They aren’t sterile, and I’ve never actually run into anyone that seemed to think they are.

  What they are is clean enough
  The paper is rolled up, relatively dry, usually wrapped in a barrier, and isn’t a food product that will draw unusual amounts of pathogen carrying critters. So you end up with something that is cleaner than the things you use it on, akin to rag you pull out of a drawer that you washed weeks ago. Or a dish that’s been sitting in your cabinet for similar periods.

  When it comes down to what they’re used for commonly, that’s clean enough. It won’t be bringing pathogens into contact with anything you’ll take inside your body. That’s all that matters.

  Mind you, it assumes you’re storing them in a way that keeps junk off of them. But as long as that assumption holds, you can use them as napkins (which are no more sterile), use them to mop up spills (likely cleaner than av actual mop), as a crumb barrier and wrapper for a sandwich, whatever.

  There’s really nothing you would be likely to use them for that would be problematic, particularly in an emergency. Better than toilet paper in that regard, as tp is treated to break down easily in water (and the chemicals used to do that stink btw). If you need a wad of something to cram down on a wound to control bleeding, as an example, paper towels would be better than a random shirt you pulled off your body, as it’s going to have lower concentrations of things like staph, yeast, and strep, as well as the numerous other critters that populate our hides even fresh out of a shower.

  Not yet, no.

  Current state of the art accessible to a customer is way off from that. Exoskeletons are maybe ten to fifteen years out from being something that’s going to be really ready for prime time, as an optimistic guesstimate. But that won’t be personal gear unless you’re very wealthy.

  Honestly, because of how much demand there will be in industrial settings, I don’t expect it to reach a level where the average person can just run out and buy one in any of our lifetimes. Maybe a generation after that? Two? But it is possible that it will within that time frame, but I expect they’ll be absurdly expensive if so. Like high end sports car expensive, if you want them to be worth a damn.

  Besides, the spare arm idea is limited in use, as others have said, by the ergonomics of it. A robot arm still needs to be securely attached to you, and the rest of your body has to compensate for the weight and motion. Even with super light materials, you won’t get them lighter than your meat arm unless you want them weak

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Voyager crew incompetence. Has Trek always been like this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been there since TOS.

  It isn’t lazy writing, it’s the necessity of long term writing for a series.

  If you take the tos concept of “wagon train in space” as the starting point, if you want to maintain a multiple season show, you have to explore every idea you can come up with. You discard the ones that don’t fit the vibe, or you tear them apart until they do. But you have a deadline, budgets, and an ever-critical audience.

  So, you get episodes like the one (s3e8 TOS) being rewatched in that community. A zero stakes illness, some hand wavy tech, and a single episode romance that amounts to a pile of meh. They can’t all be winners, and Voyager had and extra limitation in that it was expected to do a roughly TOS journey, with TNG baggage, and still manage to not retread plots too obviously.

  It isn’t lazy, and I’d argue that it isn’t bad writing either, as Voyager usually managed to keep characterization on point and didn’t fuck up with major contradictions often.

  In universe, you had people far from home, unsure if they’d ever get back, surrounded by strangers and emitted enemies. So the crew slipped a lot. It fits well enough as a head canon that only the really egregiously bad stuff can’t maintain immersion.

  But it’s the nature of series writing. You always run into a “what the fuck do we do this week?” wall. It’s really rare for a show to have a long enough commitment that there’s real planning involved the way Babylon 5 worked out. Where you can tell the big story and fill in little bits in episodes rather than having to shove little bits of big story into one-off episodes.

  I’ve done some amateur grade serial writing. If you don’t start off with the big picture in place, every chapter is a wrestling match between the idea you’ve got now and how it fits in the long term. It’s fucking brutal sometimes. I’m struggling with one now that’s likely to end up with the same level of “really? That’s what happens?” just because too much stagnation while trying to get the idea to take shape makes it less likely to. You have to push with what you can make work… I have to push with what I can make work so that it doesn’t die entirely.

  Imagine that kind of situation on a budget, a deadline, and whatever exchanges directors and producers throw into the mix. I seriously doubt I could do it. It’s its own skill set.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are lemmings so touchy about downvotes?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m gonna echo some stuff, so be aware.

  I think it isn’t just lemmings/lemmites/lemmizens/piefudlians/mbingos. It’s anywhere humans can show support or non support via visible means. Like/dislike, star ratings, whatever. I’ve not seen any more or less butthurt over votes here than reddit. Maybe less in focused communities where folks tend to directly engage more anyway.

  But it comes down to feeling disrespected. Talk to folks in meatspace and ask them about this kind of thing, and if they care about those points, that’s what it often is. They feel like some stranger was rude to them.

  Secondary to that, there is also he contingent that has an emotional investment when they vote, so they assume the same in others. In other words, they use voting as a dislike button as opposed to a ranking system. So, they think anyone down voting them is just dismissing them via emotional reaction.

  Anyway, as long as there’s a sorting method based on votes, it has an effect beyond that, so you kinda have to be careful to keep it in mind. Me? Other than fat thumb mistakes, my down voting is for off topic, non useful, off-vibe, or otherwise ill fitting comments and posts, usually. Low effort comments will get one sometimes, if the post matters.

  Up votes are similarly doled out, though I’m not above throwing one purely because I like it.

  I always say you take the downs and the ups as they come. Don’t whine about it, don’t pretend ups mean anything about you or even the subject, it’s not like you win anything by virtue of votes. Hell, even mentioning them in a thread should be limited because it derails things more often than not.

  I’m with you on sorting by new. It’s not the downside that you see posts in reverse order, so if there’s a dozen posts about the same thing, you won’t know it until after you’ve interacted with the newest, which may not be where the good interactions are. But it’s still better than the artificially placed sorting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon reads Don Quixote⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with the role Rocinante plays for sure.

  I just don’t think that makes the name of the horse a good question. It’s like asking the name of John Wick’s dog. The whole movie hinges on the dog, but what name it has is irrelevant.

  The point of reading something like Don Quixote isn’t the names. Even Pancho’s name is barely important. Hell, I’d even argue that the fact we’re talking about Don Quixote rather than Alonso Quixano even illustrates that names aren’t exactly the prime bit of information that matters.

  Now, it is hard to discuss the story without factoring in name changes. Aldonza/Dulcinea in specific is maybe the biggest symbol of what the Don is experiencing, and the underlying theme of the story. But the specific names? It’s just a bad question for a high school English teacher to ask a student.

  My reasoning is that, no matter what else is retained, names only serve as a point of reference in damn near all literature. When an early exposure to old school, classical literature is happening, the student is going to already be learning three or four things at once, and memorizing the name of a non dialogue character doesn’t serve do achieve that learning, or even test how much that student retained.

  You’ve got them trying to learn how to read critically, how to read archaic styles, how to retain important factors, and how to express what they’ve picked up. The name of an animal that’s essentially stage dressing akin to the sword or armor? That’s entirely the wrong question.

  What would be a good one is, “what does Quixote’s horse symbolize?” Or even, “what do you think about his horse?”. Both would get the student thinking rather than trying to just pull up a word that’s arbitrary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon reads Don Quixote⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  No, it isn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I could a buffalo chicken chili kale salad would the show off my cooking skills?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, can you cook? It isn’t like we’re born knowing how, and the learning curve is real. You eat your own food, presumably. Is it good, or just edible?

  That matters because if you seek praise, and you can’t tell if you can cook, chances are high that you can’t.

  Being a good cook isn’t about recipes. It’s about practice. Doing things over and over until you don’t have to think about timing or ingredients. In terms of your specific idea, have you mastered that dish well enough that your chicken is juicy, safely cooked, and flavorful? That’s going to be the part anyone judgy is going to be right about if they find fault. If you can’t cook the chicken right, the sauce don’t mean shit.

  If you can, then those flavors will absolutely slap yo mama in the face and make her ask for more.

  Lasagna is easier. Well, more labor intensive, but easier to not fuck up, depending on the stuff in between the pasta. So if you’re just an okay cook, go with that. It’s just a lot more forgiving when trying to feed someone that’s looking for faults. You can still fuck it up, but as long as you don’t go that far, it’s a very filling, satisfying dish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If dogs have such a great nose, why do they sniff other dogs asses? Wouldn't it smell like shit or not a good smell?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Believe it or not, a properly functioning anus and a healthy digestive tract don’t usually have a fecal smell at the anus, even in humans with our giant glutes. It can, but as long as the above caveats are in place, and the human in question is paying attention to their cleanup post dookie, it isn’t poop that you’ll smell if you have to get close. You’ll smell ass but that isn’t the same as poo.

  And that’s from someone that did twenty years wiping asses for a living, including having to get very close to said asses on occasion.

  A dog? No big glutes. So, unless they have some issue making their poo messy, there won’t be enough clinging onto the anus itself for the smell of poo to be dominant. You can test it. Dogs have no shame most of the time, and will sit on your face with zero warning. Won’t smell of poo as the primary scent. A human nose likely won’t smell it at all.

  What you would smell is the musk from their anal glands, plus their own base smell.

  A dog would indeed smell some lingering poo smell, if any poo lingered. But it wouldn’t be fresh, steaming poo smell. It would be dry poo smell, which lacks the volatile components that make shit stink as opposed to just smelling strongly the way some things do. It’s like the difference between a compost heap when you just turn it, vs the smell when it’s turned into soil.

  Human poo, if dried long enough, just smells like a slightly musky, slightly earthy chunk of something organic. It loses the scatole and indole that make poop smell like shit. And, yes I actually ran into a couple of instances where poop had dried like that on a person. I was fucking furious. But I’ve also done laundry where someone missed a sizable piece and it got dried out in the hamper, and it really isn’t bad smelling. It isn’t even particularly strong, and when I wasn’t smoking, my nose could pick up smells most of my coworkers couldn’t.

  ---

  Butt! Dogs have different brains than us. Poop smells aren’t inherently bad to them. Ever seen a dog sniffing, and then rolling in, poop? Squirrel, deer, cat, whatever. It’s just an intense thing for them, not one that repulses them.

  Honestly?

  Get some real historians.

  Without people that are actually in the field, with stringent standards to go along with that, you’ll only get casual and unreliable answers. Which means that nobody wanting a good answer with depth and historiography is going to waste their time. Most of the time, responses there aren’t half as informative as Pugjesus’ memes.

  R/askhistorians worked because it was run by experts and expert level responses were the only kind allowed. You knew going in that you might not get an answer at all, but if you did it was going to be relevant and be good enough to use as a source for a paper.

  Nothing on the fediverse has that level of effort put into it.

  Also, being real here, the moderation team having zero background in history research means that it’s incredibly unlikely to ever draw real historians to ask questions of. Why would they?

  Could you hypothetically make it happen? Sure. I guess. If you reach out to some of the people that were generalists back on reddit, charm them into the idea of a more open forum, help them onboard, and make certain your mod team is both vigorous and rigorous, you might, might get a couple. I doubt it, since the ones that fled reddit already said that the lack of robust mod tools made them unwilling to start up here. But if you’re serious enough about it, maybe it could work.

  Again, being real, while I appreciate your presence and activity, Don, you gotta realize that the percentage of historians that would consider it are very likely to see you as the mod and nope the fuck out. I hate dumping on you because I genuinely love the effort you put in to asking things nobody would otherwise bring up. But that same user history is offputting if someone were looking at it as an indicator of how serious a community will be run. I’m sorry to say it though, I really do appreciate you.

  First, you have to have an idea people will support.

  You don’t.

  And look, I’m all about nurses needing even more respect and support than they get. A shit ton more, along with better pay.

  But you done fucked up. First, doctors are also front line. It’s a different kind of job for sure, but they’re all over the place, in hospitals. As much or more than nurses in terms of being exposed to a wide range of pathogens. Yeah, it depends on specialty as to how much roaming they do, and ER/trauma docs tend to have as high or higher exposure rates that lead to illness. Only slightly lower assault rates, last time I saw numbers.

  You don’t have to downplay doctors to hype nurses.

  But secondary to that, you’ve got the issue that when doctors get roads named for them, it’s usually for major research contributions, and nursing just isn’t a research specialty.

  I do, however, agree that career nurses that contribute to their community should get way more recognition than their name on a bench in an atrium or garden. But it isn’t a 1:1 thing in terms of silly shit like naming roads

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does it make much difference healthwise if you were to split your meal unti 2 parts? Have all your carbs at once then an hour later have your veg and protein?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “Much difference” and “healthwise” are difficult.

  Healthwise can point to a lot of variables, depending on which aspects of health are in question, and exactly what range of factors you think are “healthy” to begin with.

  So, applying “Much” difference is extra iffy, since much is relative, and may not be seen the same between criteria.

  That being said; no, not much difference for most people. Not even much difference for the people that don’t have very specific needs, but could get some vague benefit from that kind of intake.

  Where you’ll see some degree of benefits that could fairly be called “much” is weight control.

  Generally, if one has some degree of difficulty with calorie intake limits do better when intake is spread out more. You end up with fewer spikes, a more even result; which when weight control is the primary goal, you see more benefits up to a point. With less spikes in blood sugar, and fewer calories “leftover” to turn into fat, a form of grazing helps.

  Mind you, that isn’t saying that smaller intake more often is some silver bullet to weight control. It isn’t. But it is the area where you’d see the “much difference” compared to eating the same things at once.

  Otherwise, the only reason to do it is as part of a prescribed diet built by a professional. Any benefits to the average person just wouldn’t be significant enough to merit the extra hassle

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Olive Branch MS mayor refusing to lower flag for Dolly⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, first off, implants were not involved. The lady was known for her chesticles waaay before implants were a thing. She may or may not have had some kind of implants later in life to keep her existing measurements, but they were the same size in the oldest pictures of her as an adult. I don’t know about anything later in life, but i do know that boobs like that exist naturally, and that she started with that.

  I’m not sure where folks get the idea she had implants when pictures exist like that.

  Anyway, it’s kind of a tripartite thing. Music, charity/beliefs, and personality.

  Musically, she’s one of the better songwriters out there. She was on par with, or better than, anyone of her generation for sure. Part of that was her ability to use her real life to make songs that resonated with a lot of people.

  Her voice shifted a lot as she aged, but she was well loved for both the sweetness she could use, and her gentle vibrato. A high, almost crystalline tone that managed to never be shrill or piercing because she knew how to be delicate with it. You don’t have to like her music to recognize the skill she had with it.

  In terms of her public works, she truly believed in doing good. Her book based reading initiative made sure that multiple generations of people grew up not only knowing how to read, but having access to materials that made doing so a normalized and omnipresent thing.

  She was an outspoken advocate for “loving thy neighbor”. She was one of the celebrities that was behind gay marriage, and equal rights for gay people. That was also the case for trans people.

  In other words, she practiced what she preached. She made a ton of money between her music and related business ventures, but she was willing to put it to work doing good things without making it missionary work. She didn’t just hand out bibles like some supposed reading initiatives do. Despite having a deep faith, she never pushed it on anyone.

  And, importantly, that wasn’t just her public face. In her private life, she was well known for doing good acts for their own sake, even when nobody would know about it. But you talk to people from around where she lived and worked, and her generosity is legendary. Again, generosity without strings.

  She also was known for having hiring policies with her businesses that were inclusive. Orientation, race, gender, nobody was excluded. And, again, it wasn’t just a front, because it wasn’t something she made a big deal out of. That was just how things were.

  Then it comes down to her. She was a larger than life performer. When she was being DOLLY, she put forward the brighter, flashier side of her self, but in interviews and in person, she was open and honest and nice. She treated people well, and did so with no ego, and a down-to-earth simplicity that often belied how sharp she was. She had an almost self deprecating way of handling being famous, and that’s how she really was. She didn’t think of herself as being special, she was just grateful to have the chance to do something she loved and was good at.

  Now, I never met her. But I know a ton of people that did. And I know a ton of people that had access to books as a kid due to her charity efforts. That’s going back decades, and it was not really a well known thing until maybe fifteen years ago or so.

  Everything you hear about her from people that knew her, that had regular contact with her, it’s all about how damn good she treated everyone.

  There’s places in Tennessee in specific that when people call her a saint, they aren’t just being nice. There’s folks that have been touched by her good works and place her on a much higher pedestal than she ever would have. Which kinda sums it all up. She never abandoned being a simple mountain girl, no matter how famous or rich she got, and she lifted others up along the way.

  Me? I grew up hearing her music, but didn’t really become a fan until well into adulthood. I loved her as an actress, but it took me a while to “get” her music. Now, I can’t hear her sing without crying a little.

  Part of that (the cut placement) is making the prosthetics though. Yeah, you can make good looking cuts elsewhere, but the more the site moves, the more hassle it is. Facial prosthetics in particular run into trouble when they’re near the mouth or brows. So you end up with cheeks being preferred overall.

  With the body, you run into issues with making something visible, movable, and believable. Gashes across the abs fail at all three, whereas shoulder and pecs are solid choices. Legs would be too, but they’re not in frame as much, and shouldn’t be without a good reason.

  I dunno that I’m seeing a predominance of elbows in media tbh.

  That being said, throw elbows!

  Generally, you want to hit soft with hard, and hard with soft.

  Unless it’s elbows. You really aren’t going to injure an elbow on a skull the way you would a fist or foot. Might not feel good, but it ain’t gonna break.

  The drawback is that you gotta get closer with elbows. Doing that vs someone you’re not familiar with can backfire when they throw some stripe of jujutsu on your ass. So, you know, don’t get jitzed. Mind you, elbows are faster in close, so they’re harder to counter when grappling, so enough training vs grapplers, and you end up with an advantage.

  So, I’m saying: cross train with resistive partners.

  Yeah, almost guaranteed. Won’t necessarily offer it as a service, though the vast majority should. But any proper professional would know what it is, and likely know how.

  There’s some degree of variation in techniques, but that is likely what you were getting. Deep tissue can outright hurt, but the goal is to get into the muscles where hard tension is and unkink it. It uses steady, usually slow, but forceful pressure to really get past the surface.

  Which is why not everyone will offer it. It is very demanding for the practitioner, and patients may or may not actually want it, and just think they do lol. My hands can’t do it any more. Hell, I can’t always pull off the easier stuff. Arthritis sucks lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who get "happy ending" massages, is there like a common keyword or process?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, there’s different kinds of massage.

  The generic spa-style massage is more about relaxation, and is done in a setting that shifts the context to being fairly impersonal.

  More medically focused, or sports focused (lot of overlap there) massage is being done with a goal in mind, usually in a setting that also makes it feel less intimate than it might otherwise (even with the same technique involved).

  Just as an example, I trained up in a handful of massage methods over the years. Lymphatic release, myofascial release, deep tissue, a variant of shiatsu, and the bog standard “just rub the muscles that are tense” kind that isn’t really a technique/style at all. What would be used depended on my patients’ needs and preferences.

  Deep tissue, I really never broke out on patients though. A few, but it was rare. That was more for friends that were in need due to muscle issues.

  Myofascial release is superb for people with reduced mobility and/or spacicity since out favors fairly gentle pressure that directly unloads where the muscles connect.

  Your lymphatic release is also low pressure, and is kind of the default for both a post-workout massage as well as geriatric patients and bedbound patients. It focuses on moving your juices along to the center of the body sp that associated buildup of wastes will be enhanced

  But what remains true is that most massage is best done on bare skin. Not all benefit from lubricants though. Myofascial release, in particular, becomes more difficult and> less effective because you really need to be able to apply focused pressure without movement as part of what you’re doing.
