AI (or at least the algorithm shit we’re calling ‘AI’ that isn’t intelligence, artificial or otherwise) getting a robot body is just installing a program onto a computer with moving parts. …not really anything new or exciting about this.

What law is being broken here?

He stepped onto the rich people’s turf. We plebs are supposed to stay in our thatch huts beyond their line of sight.

Straight to jail.

It isn’t. But there are situations where that isn’t an option, like being on a work or government computer where downloading firefox or installing an extension will get you fired. When that’s the case, YouTube+Bing is a “good enough”/“better than nothing” option.

I don’t see any mention of the YouTube adblock trick, so from the vid:

Copy YouTube URL. Paste it in Bing and search. Scroll passed Bing’s sponsored bullshit and click on the thumbnail for the video you searched. It will then play, still in Bing, with no ads.

So if you’re on a work or government or w/e computer that doesn’t allow installing adblock extensions, there ya go. No downloads or anything, just YouTube and Bing.

…this is the first time I’ve ever had any interest in using Bing, lol.

I love how much nursing advice I’m getting in a thread about melting Russian invaders. ^_^

I didn’t think that was sarcasm, it’s just such a jacked up system of measurement that he’s not confident it doesn’t change with borders, which is honestly a pretty reasonable point of uncertainty.

Gotcha! Yeah same page - some of the other students don’t like that method cuz it can take a bit longer, but building the equation kinda idiot proofs itself against calculating for the wrong unit, and it’s super consistent! Definitely my favorite so far.

Just googled it and apparently they’re about 5mL each. Apparently I’m not great at eyeballing volume.

Add it to the pile of conversion failures between metric and imperial.

Literally yes.

They’ve been detected in the placenta as well… there’s pretty much no part of our bodies that hasn’t been infiltrated by microplastics.

Edit - I think I misread your post. You already know ^that. My bad.

99% of it is metric. I think the biggest outlier is home care, where you go visit some grandma who’s actively offended by metric, so if you tell her to take 7.5mL of something she’ll just do the deer in the headlights thing, then shove the bottle up her ass.

Tell her instead that she needs to take 3 Mountain Dew caps full and suddenly she can follow instructions enough to not kill herself.

…well, this is a good way to shine the spotlight on a massive problem. I’d be pretty hesitant to take DIY meds unless it was life-critical and my only option (which… lots of don’t have that option, and just die after hitting the health paygate…). The value here is its potential to slap some sense into the US and get our broken-as-fuck healthcare system caught up with the rest of the world so people don’t need moonshine insulin or w/e in the first place.

That this conversation is even taking place is testament to how horrible our current system is.

I use dimensional analysis, but it’s over two lines… and not sure what you mean by working backwards, since the order doesn’t really matter so long as every value is in the correct line.

Since typing it out would be ugly as sin, example image stolen from google:

…they like to give us things like pt weight in lbs and oz, and ask for final product of tablespoons or some shit cuz they enjoy wasting our time, lol.

That the type you mean?

I know there are a few different ways to crunch the numbers, but DA is my favorite so far cuz it’s so consistent.

*edit, example pic changed, first one put mcg twice in the same line, which is a weird move. /shrug

Don’t forget to round to the nearest liquor store!

1.15 pallets of spent 12-gauge casings over over the course of 2.3 standard breakfasts.

…being in nursing school is giving me a strong hatred for the imperial system.

The doctor ordered 35mg/kg Watdafuqenol IV QID. Available is a 2’ by 15" section of torn out carpet soaked in spilled Watdafuqenol; when wrung out into the patient’s left shoe, you get 97 chipmunk-mouthfuls diluted to a concentration of 24 Watdafuqenol to 1 toe jam. How many shot glasses full do you administer?

Well you were right. That definitely rubs the wrong way lol.

Thank you!

If you don’t like that, you’re really not going to like what they call downvotes …

Don’t leave us hanging like that!

Hmm, that’s a thing too, but I’m not really sure what equipment they’d need for that. I always just assumed it was with a otoscope (little handheld thing with a cone on the end that sticks into your ear) and a loop curette (really expensive piece of wire that we buy for some reason).

Poor image choice for public engagement, but we do use that type of microscope for ear surgery like tympanoplasties and cochlear implement placements.

Judging by her attire and lack of a sterile drape, we’re seeing a pic from the ear clinic, not one of surgery, but I’d assume they use similar equipment.

Anyway, the image does track with the headline, but only to a targeted audience who knows that environment.

That is the wrong facial expression. That man would be laughing his ASS off. Like ribs hurting, can’t breath laughing.
