Wonder how many builders don't know what a theorem is but can use the "3-4-5 square" method to get a square corner. Probably not many actually since nothing is ever built square. Anyway, I use both the quadratic equation and Pythagoras' theorem all the time

goddamnedtwisto posted:I've had a recurring headache like that for most of my adult life (or rather it's recurred throughout my adult life but only once every couple of months for a couple of hours at the time) - in fact it feels *specifically* like a pick going in the top of my head and curving around to come out under my right eye. With a long and undistinguished family history of strokes and aneurysms, and the "entry wound" being very close to a nice big divot in my skull courtesy of a knee to the head in a rugby match, it's always terrified me but nothing ever showed up on the MRIs I had. Now thanks to Covid, or rather regular Covid testing and a slightly misplaced swab causing that *exact* pain, I now know it's just one of my sinuses being annoying. Apparently it's a pretty common thing, at least according to a nurse I was chatting to about it. Yeah as soon as you described the path of the pain I knew it was a sinus thing. Probably correlates with barometric pressure to some extent. I wonder if there's exploratory surgery you can get to unblock some poo poo in there E: brief googling indicates yeah , you can get endoscopic sinus surgery on the NHS Failed Imagineer fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Jun 4, 2021 |

FWIW I would probably be fired for fabricating data like that. Clinical trials are heavily regulated to international standards but obviously many of the same principles and concerns apply universally.

When you're getting absolutely monstered by your (nominal) political opponent, your options seem to be: A. Admit you suck loving poo poo. B. Admit that the public are loving morons. C. Assert that your opponent is cool and good and better than you. D. Reframe the question somehow (?). I guess D is essentially "doing politicking" but Kieth is not really a politican and seems to have no knack for doing that. A and B are out of the question, so C it is

Well you probably won't have to wait long to find out. Some people could consider that a doomer position or whatever, but it's just extremely likely that there will be a much worse pandemic in the medium-term, and there's gently caress all in place to stop it and no lessons have been learned. The one bright spot is mRNA vaccine technology really saved our asses and may well do so again.

Man I love getting the updates of Sanford continually going through life calling people on their bullshit, king poo poo. Also, on HIV/plague, it's an interesting hypothesis that either bubonic plague or smallpox might have selected for a European population with a widespread mutation ccr5-∆32 that confers HIV resistance in about 10% of the population. It's debated, but neat
