Deep cut Expanse reference. Specifically to an episode that had a lot of personal meaning for me.

Chetzemoka@startrek.websiteto World News@lemmy.world•Man dies mid-flight after breaking out in 'cold sweats' and losing 'liters of blood,' scaring his fellow passengersEnglish2·2 years agoWhy is it always in CT??? That’s an incredible save, if the first round of compressions weren’t really effective. I can’t even imagine doing compressions for 11 minutes at all, let alone in isolation gear. I think I’d join the patient, if I tried that.

That setup was subtle and very well done. Bravo @FauxPseudo@lemmy.world
Chetzemoka@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Need help identifying some growth.121·2 years agoFrom a person with a lot of years of experience fighting mold on wood in a humid climate, what you want is borax:
https://www.thisoldhouse.com/green-home/21331232/killing-mold-on-wood
Borax kills mold and also soaks into wood and stays there to prevent future growth. Bleach does not help on porous surfaces like wood:
"Note that bleach should not be used to kill mold found on wood. While bleach is very effective for killing mold on non-porous surfaces, it doesn’t work well when it comes to wood. This is because the chlorine in bleach can’t penetrate wood, so only the water portion of the bleach gets absorbed.
The mold may appear to be removed from the surface, but it’ll likely continue to grow underneath and return within a few months."

Best wishes!”
Chetzemoka@startrek.websiteto World News@lemmy.world•Man dies mid-flight after breaking out in 'cold sweats' and losing 'liters of blood,' scaring his fellow passengersEnglish102·2 years agoThere are a few things I wish we could really show the public. The first is how brutally savage and undignified CPR really is. And the second is what alcohol abuse really does to a person.
Chronic malnutrition, brain damage, hallucinations, anxiety, internal bleeding, fluid swelling your abdomen like a water balloon, literal ammonia building up in your blood that we treat by deliberately inducing massive diarrhea. That’s not even mentioning esophageal varices and the increased cancer risk.
Alcohol is a horrifying drug.
Chetzemoka@startrek.websiteto World News@lemmy.world•Man dies mid-flight after breaking out in 'cold sweats' and losing 'liters of blood,' scaring his fellow passengersEnglish3662·2 years agoCritical care nurse here. The answer is esophageal varices.
It’s the same physiological anomaly as hemorrhoids, except in your esophagus. Swollen, fragile veins caused by increased internal pressure. In the case of hemorrhoids, that pressure inside the veins is caused by straining too much when trying to poo. In esophageal varices, the increased pressure inside the esophageal veins comes from blood backing up from a swollen, scarred, and damaged liver. So we often see esophageal varices in end stage alcohol use disorder.
Horror stories abound in emergency departments and ICUs of having to do CPR on a patient massively hemorrhaging out of their mouth from esophageal varices. As soon as nurses I know saw this report, our immediate thought was, “Yep, varices.”

You joke, but my dad literally built (most) of his own helicopter. My mom wouldn’t let him fly it because of us kids haha. He sold it still incomplete
Chetzemoka@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Commercials Are Streaming’s New Norm, and Creators Aren’t Happy: “It’s Almost Worse Than Broadcast”English221·2 years agoAgreed, in my experience Tubi and Pluto both have very reasonable length, good quality ads. I declined to re-up on YouTube TV for NCAA football season this year specifically because I can stand their ads. At that price tier, they honestly expect me to sit through My Pillow ads??
Chetzemoka@startrek.websiteto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Lemmy is a perfect reddit replacement in terms of saving a post "for later" and never coming back to it151·2 years agoWell shit you’re right! I just tend to save things in time order anyway, so I hadn’t noticed. I just deliberately saved something out of time order, and sure enough it sorted itself lower down in my save list. Good to know. My bad

Chetzemoka@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunchEnglish224·2 years agoThey didn’t get genetic raw data of anyone beyond the 14K, they got family relationship information. Which is an option you can turn on or off, if you want. It’s very clear that you’re exposing yourself to other people if you choose to see who you’re related to. It doesn’t expose raw data and it doesn’t instantly expose names, just how they’re related to you. (And most of the “relations” are 3rd to 5th cousins, aka strangers.)
Hackers used the genetic ancestry data of the 14K hacked users and their “relatives” connections to deduce large families of Ashkenazi Jews.
Chetzemoka@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you have a Heat Pump in a cold climate?8·2 years agoYes, Massachusetts. I have a dual fuel heat pump with natural gas backup installed in 2020, so it’s a newer system. And I have one heat pump mini split in the least energy efficient, but most used room in my house (large, high ceilings, exterior walls on three sides, and a skylight).
The first couple of years I noticed when it got just below freezing, the central heat pump seemed to struggle to keep up. Then this year I replaced my windows and got new wall insulation in both of the main bedrooms and bathrooms (previous insulation was original from the 1960s and shredded to bits with huge gaps.)
After those improvements, I’ve been running my heat pump down to 20⁰F/-7⁰C so far without any issues at all. I’m excited to see how cold we can get and this system still keep up. I am still supplementing my one large room with the mini split, but that’s mostly because all my plants are in here, so I keep this room warmer than 68⁰F/20⁰C.
Chetzemoka@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some of your cheap eats hacks?7·2 years agoCrock Pot, skinless chicken thighs, bottled sauce of your choice, frozen veggies of your choice, cook until chicken is done.
Chicken thighs are the cheapest chicken meat and changing up the flavor of sauce and blend of veggies makes it feel like completely different meals.
Serve over rice or pasta, depending on which kind of sauce you used.
