Gonna go out on a limb and assume that cases of acute appendicitis prior to the development of surgical techniques, infection control, and anaesthesia, were usually fatal

I know it’s not exactly what you’re thinking but we have always had medicine. I think there are even like early hominids buried with evidence of having been cared for through injuries. And while appendicitis is a particular kind of problem that our traditional medicine is pretty poorly equipped to fix, most people would be very surprised by the sophistication of traditional medicine, in my opinion. Like even the batshit crazy stuff isn’t unique to traditional medicine.

In the past they've been asked to leave several times because the smell bothers people, and I suspect they live in their car. I doubt they run a store. Maybe there's a market research gig or something? I was told he gave some expired cards to us to pull as well and claimed to work for Green Dot.

How do orchestral musicians manage to keep an eye on the conductor while playing their instruments and reading their sheet music all at the same time? It hurts my brain trying to imagine it.

Individual musicians practice their parts to the level of muscle memory and the sheet music is for reference only. So most attention is on their performance, the overall flow, and the conductor

I've always pronounced the name Pendragon in my head like the two words: pen dragon. I just watched a movie where they pronounced it PEND ruh gun. Is that how it's always been pronounced and I just never actually heard it said aloud before?

To add to what Extensive Vamping said, you don't (usually) need to see your instrument, so that's one less thing to worry about. I personally don't tend to memorize my music, but yeah, I've got a pretty good idea of what's coming. And I don't keep one eye glued to the conductor; generally what they're doing is large enough that I can check in via my peripheral vision most of the time, and pay closer attention for things like tempo changes or fermatas.

You can see the conductor in your peripheral vision while reading the music, their movements are big enough and distinct enough to see like that. Reading the music and playing the instrument is the same thing, it's like reading words out loud.

i'm having trouble over the last 24 hours using one particular streaming service that i've used before with no issues . all of my twitter mutuals who also use this service are able to use it just fine . if i run a speedtest my internet connection (which is fairly decent at 100/100) looks perfectly normal and i've experienced zero trouble with anything else. what could be the problem and is there anything i could do to correct it?

Have youtube ads been getting waaaay more frequent for everyone? Used to be a pretty normal once (or twice consecutively nowadays) every 10 to 20 minutes or like at the beginning, miiddle and end, if at all, but lately they really ramped it up. Most egregious example was a documentary that was over an hour long with an ad break every 3 loving minutes.

From what I've read elsewhere on this site, this is a result of trump's new appointee's method of loving the USPS out of existence. Delivery is subcontracted now and the drivers pick up more than they can possibly deliver each morning. Amazon and some others get priority, then some/most of the rest gets delivered and the leftovers get dropped off at the sorting station to go out again the next day. It's having knock-on effects all through the system: my parents sent me a birthday card two and a half months ago that still hasn't arrived.

I bought some books three weeks ago and they're currently stuck in PA. I refuse to get mad at the USPS though, UPS and Fedex are pure garbage. If politics kill the USPS I... will be impotent in my rage.

However, last week YouTube automatically and retroactively opted in all videos more than eight minutes long to midroll ads unless the creator fixes it. Ah yeah, that explains it. Also, you can get an adblocker for android? I mostly watch youtube on my phone or playstation.

I have a weird RC car problem. The car appears to have good batteries both in the remote and the car itself. If I turn the car off and then turn it on and hold it in my hand (that is to say, off the floor) it runs. I can even grasp the tires and tell that they're spinning with some force. As soon as I put the car down on the floor, it stops. Both the steering and the wheels immediately stop. If I pick it up again, it won't respond. But if I turn it off and turn it on again, while holding it, it responds again. Help?

I assume it's got some sort of suspension right? I'd guess that there is a short that only connects when the suspension is compressed.

credburn posted:God, thank you for that. Having no coding experience beyond what I learned with BASIC so I could do classroom shenanigans, it all sounds so fascinating but kind of incomprehensible. The idea that compilation is a lossy process is one of those things that feels like an epiphany, like this concept that had before now never entered my mind. To add to what others have said: some of the compilation process is optimisation, done by the compiler. It's allowed to rearrange stuff to make it run faster, as long as the result will do the same thing. The thing is, in the rearranged version it's often much, much harder to tell what's actually going on. It can get twisted into some incomprehensible nonsense that is nevertheless completely correct, and faster. So, if you try to decode from machine code to programming language, you might be left with incomprehensible but very fast and correct nonsense. Also, not to mention, if you've got access to the source code it's quite easy to make a knock-off clone of the game, as a competitor. You don't necessarily have the art and levels and such, but you can create those, saving heaps of time and money on not having to program the game. Probably not applicable in the case of Nintendo, where they also own and control the platform all potential competitors are published on, but it could be a thing in general.
