EPA administrator announces huge rollback of environmental regulations
  • You know what's interesting about this is that it also shows that lead has a lasting effect. The initial 1:1 drop was probably people who had levels that were affecting them for a shorter amount of time (basically younger) and the remainder were older people.

    What is the ratio now in 2024 vs 2011?

  • Me too.

    I was actually impressed by how easy it was. He still complains about it, but there are no meltdowns and no "I'm the only kid."

    Basically "you take their work, you get all the money and maybe give them a little. But the ones getting very little are the kids. The ones you enjoy playing the games of . That's the same as stealing."

  • Project 2025 Progress Tracker
  • Some of these will be interesting to see how they get enforced in blue states and by corporations that disagree with the policies. I know some are defying the mandate that federal contractors must not have DEI programs. Which is sort of funny, it may have an opposite impact there, as lawyers are, by nature, very good with logic and words.

    I understand math and logic aren't their greatest skillsets. And clearly the goal with project 2025 is to weaken the US. But it won't be as easy as they expect.

  • Elon Musk’s Biographer Warns Billionaire Is ‘Going Mad’ Due To ‘Combination Of Depression, Drugs And Stress’
  • For him it was his parents and South Africa. Drugs + environmental influence is the guaranteed way to create a monster.

    Basically his entire childhood he understood that there are two classes of people: the people who earned something, and the other is the rest of us. People who look different, have to work, or talk funny.

  • Australian man successfully receives titanium heart after 6-hour operation.
  • Nope! It has a range of speeds. The PWM signal it provides also produces something called "counter-electromotive force". I don't remember the exact specifics, but if this measurement falls (corresponding with a drop in blooded pressure) it will increase the pump speed (up to the maximum RPM permitted).

    That is how our circulatory system works as well - a drop in blood pressure usually results in an increase to heart rate. I say usually, because I coincidentally have a nervous disorder where this is broken - an increase in heart rate will drop my blood pressure. A drop in blood pressure will also increase my heart rate, which then drops my blood pressure, which causes a runaway and I faint.

  • Australian man successfully receives titanium heart after 6-hour operation.
  • I actually know this! I used to work on an LVAD controller about 10 years ago. The technology is largely similar.

    The pumps are centrifugal, they have to maintain blood pressure, and are largely waterproof.

    The pumps spin with a brushless DC motor controlled by PWM. Depending on the specifics of the motor the RPM can be between 8,000 and 22,000. Because of the limitations of battery technology, you're stuck with using a LiPo battery. LiPos are annoying as all shit to deal with. You have to charge them carefully, discharge them carefully, and they're pretty big.

    To give you an idea - FPV racing drone batteries can last several minutes: https://www.getfpv.com/batteries/mini-quad-batteries/cnhl-ultra-black-series-1050mah-150c-6s-lipo-battery-xt60.html On a really carefully tuned racer, you can get maybe 5 minutes out of a quad that would use that battery.

    Edit: I was incorrect, the first battery I provided was not the battery that would be used in racing. LiPos are what I wanted to share. The battery now highlights what I wanted to.

    Any one else have absolutely wild dreams?

    Ever since I was a kid my dreams have been crazy as hell. Last night, I had a dream where I was dropping my kid off at school, but there were people on both sides of the road standing waiting for a wedding. I see the couple and nope right out. Turning around a curb, suddenly I was in a fucking baseball stadium and rows of seats cut me off. I had to get home so I got out of my car? I'm walking down the stairs when I hear "oh, there it is!" I look up where the person was pointing to the sky. I see some rocket like thing, and assumed it was fireworks. It stopped, I hear three dreaded bomb falling noise, and then it slams into a seat a few rows down from the wedding. I hit the deck because I don't want to die. But instead of exploding it sprays enough glitter throughout the stadium I ended up with a mouth full. Then I get out of there, call my mom, explained what happened, head to their house which is now a bunker in new York City and they refuse to believe what I went through. Then I woke up.
