What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?

Reply in thread

The patient has to get exposed and positioned, then padded (so there are no pressure injuries, no errant cables or equipment pushing on skin, etc). Also under anesthesia (depending on the type but I'll assume general/completely asleep) you aren't moving and your body may get moved or shifted into an unnatural position.

It's also nice to have controls as mentioned by another reply, but pulse oximetry is great, and can be slapped on any non sterilized area to assess oxygenation.

TIL that Ferrari & Lamborghini no longer make cars with a manual transmission

Reply in thread

Porsche continues to sell manuals, but alas did do away with it on the upcoming Carrera 992.2 and gts. They have a 40% overall manual sales per this: https://www.motor1.com/news/705017/manual-transmission-sales-2023/

Bmw and others do have high individual model manual take rates (bmw m2/ct5 blackwing e.g. at 60/50% respectively.)

But they'll always be the less performance option, though more "engagement".

Man in Taiwan somehow gets 8cm by 6cm ceramic cup in bottom, claims it got there 'by accident'

Reply in thread

Things sometimes don't come out due to shape or they lodge at a weird angle. This increases risk of bowel or rectal perforation as the body tries to push against an obstruction. Think opening a door but a desk is up against it. The cup can also break so now you'll have ouchie shards that can cut the bowel and create perforations or spill stool into the abdomen. Oh, and cause bleeding.

Opinion | Voters punished Biden for problems he didn’t cause and effectively addressed

With all due respect youre simping or even more brainwashed than the people you are trying to argue with. You're either paid or played, and have enough time to respond to everyone here.

Why is it that the "deep state elite" universities always have such liberal voters? Why do liberals and deep state want to expand social welfare programs? Doesn't seem very "wealthy brainwashing".

Most rulers didn't take polysci, they got law degrees. Or bankrupted casinos.

I'll add being mindful it can take about 3x longer to brake. And with that, leave a gap whenever you do stop behind another vehicle. You never know when the person behind you might brake too late; having the gap gives you wiggle room to move forward or switch lanes.
