suppository

Honestly thats another reason. I know how hard I’ve worked to get a decent life and I can only see it getting harder. It feels like it costs $300/day just to exist, I can’t do that to another person.

Life is just too hard, I can’t even get a dog because I’m so busy/exhausted all the time, the thought of caring for a child is just too much. Hard pass, I’ve only got one life and I’d rather live it on my terms.

oboe, cello, violin…

I just finished blasting through the entire series so the first book is a little fuzzy now. I always thought the humour worked because the over-arching plot was serious and he was a serious killing machine that happened to be awkward, which made it engaging/thrilling with charming/funny moments. I just think they leaned way too hard into the goofiness of it all, I don’t remember the scientists being absolute hippies, but that is all just my opinion. The show seams to be doing pretty well and good for them, its just not for me and thats fine.

I did the audiobooks and tore through the whole series, I absolutely loved them. I can’t stand the tv series, I think the books set the bar too high. I think they went way too “cute” with the whole concept and completely missed the mark, I always pictured murderbot as this awkward hulking warhammer beefcastle but thats not at all the direction they went in. Oh well, I had my fun with the books, I hope a new one comes out soon!

I’m on the second thursday murder club book, I think I’m going to go through the whole series I’m just loving these books. Listening to the dune audiobook too, dune rules.

Again, its a spectrum. It depends on calorie density and types of fat, how you react to it. There are absolutely certain types that are straight up bad, some can be good.

Its flawed but a decent screener. Follow up with a blood test if you are concerned. BMI doesn’t distinguish between muscle/fat and some people can have a high BMI but be metabolically perfectly healthy-others not so much. Its a very wide spectrum that needs to be looked at on a case-by-case basis. Also fat tissue (adipose) is involved in much more than just energy storage, its quite active in inflammation, metabolism and disease processes. Source: I did my MSc on obesity and gut health. Bonus fun fact: theres no standard definition of “high fat diet”, many meta analyses are comparing wildly different diets to draw some pretty “interesting” conclusions!

Mine has amazing comedic timing and great inflection, he’s very expressive. I have full conversations with him sometimes its just the best.

I swear my cat understands english, I’ll tell him something like “no cookies until bed time” then right when I’m getting ready for bed he’s meowing by the cookie drawer. They do something every day that surprises me with their intelligence.

I always assumed we follow school/driving rules, always stay on the right. I live in Toronto and I’ve noticed the sidewalks and bike lanes just devolve into a free-for-all. Or when a group of 5 all take up the entire sidewalk and theres no where for anyone to go.

same. My field is biology but I love stars, planets, black holes, all that primordial shit you can just inject it straight into my veins I can’t get enough. I took an astronomy elective in university and it was pretty fun.

I’m trying to work things out but I swear its a generational “kids these days” thing. Its a science field with lots of interpretation, judgement, problem solving and troubleshooting too so critical thinking is really important.

And science in general. Those NIH cuts are insane.

space is nuts.

Swimming, it’ll save your life

This grinds my gears super hard. I’ve had a few new hires come through and they can’t do anything unless someone tells them to do something or if its written out step by step. Absolutely no critical thinking, curiosity or even basic understanding of why we’re doing what we’re doing, the job might as well be severance lol. I have no idea whats going on, they interviewed well, had relevant experience and can do the basics but as soon as we have to troubleshoot or use our brains they just go dear in the headlights. Its something thats difficult to train.

MAHA is also an acronym for micro-angiopathic hemolytic anemia, maybe thats what he meant the whole time.
