  • The company fucked up by not updating their equipment, even though they knew it was outdated and dangerous

    “The North Sea Divers Alliance, formed by early North Sea divers and the relatives of those killed, continued to press for further investigation and, in February 2008, obtained a report that indicated the real cause was faulty equipment. Clare Lucas, daughter of Roy Lucas, said: “I would go so far as to say that the Norwegian Government murdered my father because they knew that they were diving with an unsafe decompression chamber.”[11] The families of the divers eventually received compensation for the damages from the Norwegian government, 26 years after the incident.[12]





  • I’m guessing this is the vagus nerve he’s describing? Longest nerve in the body, and the effect being a vasovagal syncope.

    I have had this nerve stimulated by severe gastrointestinal issues twice, and the effect can only be described as dying haha. I’m being hyperbolic, but I swear both times I passed out felt like the end.

    Complete lack of strength, cold sweats, weird hearing issues and then passing out into a fencing response, convulsing, and then waking up within 30 seconds, no confusion, completely aware of what just happened and how much it sucked. Different than a seizure.

    Fun fact:

    one of these pass outs were at the beginning of an international flight while seated in an exit row. The flight hadnt even taken off from the airport. They even let me stay.


  • Simple dish but it’s amazing,

    Chicken adobo

    Get about two chicken breasts, bone-in preferred

    Pop into a bag with some like 6 cloves of garlic 1 cups of soy sauce, and 3 tbsp of fresh black pepper

    Marinade for like 3 hours

    Then throw all of that into a pot and cook for about 45 minutes closed lid on the stove, mixing occasionally

    Prepare white rice for base

    Take off the lid and let it cook for about 15-20 more minutes on medium-low, until sauce is noticeably thicker. Place on a simmer until rice finishes, then go ahead and plate. Make sure to add some sauce to your bowl as per your preference

    Enjoy!

    Basically this mutation is shown to protect against malaria, but it causes an issue with producing a molecule needed for the creation of ATP (energy your body needs)

    So while they can offer a protective effect to the subject they could need transfusions or other treatment to stay healthy.

    Subject 1 & 2 had similar biomarkers, and subject 3 had different markers causing a type of misread that made them transfusion dependent.

    That’s my understanding at least






  • Yeah, I’m full stack and use it for quick mockups and communication with our marketing person at work.

    But I never hoped on the figma train fully, so penpot works for me.

    What are some integrations that I might find useful?

    (I work predominantly with a Stencil.js website and react native app (traditional MERN stack for the app, the stencil website has tons of custom integrations))
