A quick search has a case report of a spinal anesthetic in a patient with a BMI of 61.3. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32756154/ There are more. My patient's BMI was 66.4, and I got the epidural in with one pass. Good thing the patient couldn't see my shocked face when I got it in, and the nurses did all they could to avoid "high-fiving" me.

@copper said in Come fly with me, until I run out of gas...: In Europe, the cost and restrictions are very, very much higher. Over here, it's not even allowed to let a simple children's kite raise higher than 100m. Sometimes I'm surprised we are allowed to breathe without filling out a permission form.

@jolly said in The "Healthy Skeptic" on Mask Mandates: A study done by the UK public health agency found that among all surfaces, CV-19 survived second longest on masks, up to 20 hours. Eventually that virus finds its way into the wearer’s or others’ respiratory system. It isn’t just CV-19 that is collected, and scientists have been remarkably incurious about the total number and type of pathogens collected in a mask over hours of wearing, and the ultimate fate of those pathogens. This lack of research is almost certainly politically motivated. Shut up

@lufins-dad said in How to find a rental car deal in the US?: Hertz used to be right there too, but there have been too many horror stories lately. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hertz-claims-false-arrests/ Article on Hertz being sued by multiple customers for filing false vehicle theft reports leading to customers being wrongfully arrested. Hertz is also currently going through bankruptcy proceedings.

What SUV?

The 10mm was the more effective pistol. More rounds, but a much more powerful round. A lot of people don't handle the 10mm very well. The Buffalo Bore Bullets were very hard lead alloy bullets, designed for penetration. BB also has a reputation for hot loads.

Mandates for thee but not for me!

People with money call the shots. Ain't that amazing?

Puppy sez: "I'm being have!"

Yep. Glad to hear she's turned the corner.

Does anyone believe this stuff? This is really crazy. I can only assume that Ms. Pelosi believes it. Who is feeding her?

Fucking hell. This is what happens when Ax types get their way and only STEM disciplines are taught in school.
