    @George-K said in Dr. Scott Smith paralyzed himself: @Mik said in Dr. Scott Smith paralyzed himself: Wow. First heart cath. Talk about going where no man has gone before. It's really an amazing story. At the time, there were no "heart catheters" per se. He used a catheter used for urologic procedures. he was the first to develop a technique for the catheterization of the heart. This he did by inserting a cannula into his own antecubital vein, through which he passed a catheter for 65 cm and then walked to the X-ray department, where a photograph was taken of the catheter lying in his right auricle. That occurred to me. "Say...what should we try this with?". The tech is so sophisticated today.

    I would immediately try and make the plane do a loop or a barrel roll. Also, probably a good thing I'm not a pilot. Looks very cool though... I bet in a few decades planes are flown completely by a computer perhaps with a pilot on standby.

    Wow. That's a bit excessive I would say. I guess he proved his point.

    @Klaus said in Grandma: @jon-nyc said in Grandma: Except no. My grandmother did literally none of that. But they were both born in 1901. I think you are missing the point. When they talk about "grandmother", they refer to females around your age. LOLOLOL Thanks for that, Klaus.

    @Axtremus said in Local Networks: @George-K said in Local Networks: And for the record, My network is not named “doctor. “ OK then, @George-K’s Wi-Fi name must be “FBI Surveillance”, and I am guessing “quilter2” is @brenda. Nope, I don't quilt. I'm a rug hooker. That creates other options.

    Well, I had my heart set on a Glock 41 MOS (it’s the only Glock model that shoots .45 ACP that is also pre-cut to accept a red dot sight), then when I actually went to a shop to place an order, I found out the G41 MOS is out of stock. It looks like I missed the last one by only a day or two. No idea when it will be in stock again. Bummer.

    I'm sure it will really be "holistic" and cover all voices in the discussion. Not.
