This is a big problem with medicine in general. Medicine is unfortunately very much an old white man’s club, it’s getting better slowly, but all the knowledge and the way it is taught comes from that old white guy standard.

Medical terminology is complex because medicine is complex. There is definitely an element of being part of an exclusive club but there is also communicating lots of information quickly and efficiently.

Frontotemporal dementia describes a specific set of symptoms and if you are medically trained tells you most everything you need to know about what is happening. As opposed to the patient is a bit confused or sees things sometimes which could be many different things.

The language and how diagnoses are communicated are really important, a good medic should tell the patient their diagnosis with the medical words but should explain what those mean in as much detail as the patient wants.

Most patients are able to understand dementia even if the frontotemporal bit doesn’t make sense to them.

You could look at fire safe boxes for document storage. Those are usually pretty solid. You would want to bag up the drive inside an anti static bag and probably put a couple of those little water absorbing silicone packets in there as well. If access isn’t an issue then maybe some sealant around the seams to keep it more water tight.

Magnetic tape would be better for long term storage as well I think. Those have longer storage stability. I don’t know how long an unplugged hard drive will reliably store information.

Animals could dig it up but probably wouldn’t as it wouldn’t smell like food. Depth wise I’d go for at least a couple feet deep, the traditional 6 is a surprisingly deep hole and temperature gets more consistent the deeper you go (at least with readily available tools, it eventually starts to get hot again).

Please note totally random opinion with very little experience with long term data storage. Thanks for the fun thought experiment, I hope things get better and you don’t need your backup data.

Universities are a stepping stone to teach students how to be independent adults so getting them used to normal working hours gently is a good thing. Most courses aren’t a solid 9-5 so there’s plenty of opportunity for a lay in at least some days (depending on the course)

Universities are also research institutions and that all runs on normal working hours, the lecturers are often researchers first and teaching staff second so fitting classes around the research makes sense.

I suspect the main reason is the inertia of the 9-5 that most of the world revolves around. You’d struggle to recruit staff to teach, techs to maintain buildings and stock required if they had to work permanently on late shifts.

Maybe, you’d want to talk to someone like an intensive care doctor really but yeah a lot of your organs can be replaced mechanically these days at least for a while.

It really depends what you mean by survive.

You could do ECMO and dialysis and get rid of the heart, lungs and kidneys, parenteral nutrition to feed via an IV so no need for a gut.

The patient would be bed bound and at immediate risk of dying from a complication but in theory that’s basically an empty abdominal cavity connected to a brain and a bunch of machines.

You would need enough decent sized blood vessels left to connect it all up but otherwise not much physically.

A wet fart is a slightly more polite way to say shit yourself.

Basically if there is poo in your undies after a fart it was a wet day.

In summary of the nature article:

Listen and be interested in why they hold those opinions, use motivational interviewing techniques (I explain this as Inception, trying to get the patient to have the ideas) and provide solid evidence, be realistic about data and certainty, ie the MMR vaccine is safe (and doesn’t cause autism) the COVID vaccine has less data as it’s newer, but it is still safer for the vast majority of people than COVID.

This isn’t a question random people on the internet can answer easily, but I can offer you some things to think about which might help.

I’m in a medical field in the UK and do some interviewing so I’d be asking you why you want to pick a job with long hours, bad pay (comparatively for the responsibility), poor working conditions? Medicine is not a job for people who want to breeze through or are just a little bit interested in biology and people.

I’d recommend you get some work experience, health care assistant jobs are commonplace in the UK and a great way to see if medicine is right for you, universities here look on it very favourably as well. If you can do a 12 hour shift where you are exposed to blood, poo, urine and vomit and still want to go back for more then I’d say medicine is probably an ok field for you.

What are your goals? Helping people is a common response in medical interviews but you can help in lots of ways, law like you’ve already been considering, engineering, accounting etc. What do you get out of medicine that you can’t get elsewhere?

Do you want to make lots of money and have an easier life, don’t pick medicine, pick something else.

Yes please. I love seeing how other GMs prep.

The ml link has posts, most recent was a week ago.

Yeah they are common beach wear but a visiting a site for looking at women wearing them is not something most people would do at work so they are probably right.

I think a lot of this is due to colonialism. Back when the Brits were sailing around pointing cannons at people and being delightful they didn’t respect local culture and dialects enough to bother with a “tricky” word so replaced it with an easier version. Unfortunately due to that expansion and the proliferation of English as the most common trade language the English versions tend to stick.

I work in healthcare and it’s an append-i-cectomy not an appen-dectomy. It should have the i pronounced. The Americanised version is just lazy.

So you got to go on a short cruise where they returned you unharmed to your original destination.

That’s definitely not human trafficking but the situation you put yourself in could have very very easily gone that way if the people on the boat wanted it to and you were lucky you came out of it unharmed and free.

The things we do as teenagers eh.

Aside from telling your parents you probably need to change your toilet habits and diet. You should spend less than a couple of minutes on the loo to open your bowels. Lots of water and a high fiber diet will help. Most people spend way too long straining on the toilet and that’s how you get haemorrhoids. Don’t be embarrassed though it’s a really common problem your parents likely have them themselves or know people who struggle with them.

Humans have a really good digestive tract for getting nutrients out of food. So you take a lot of the mass of the food you eat and use it in your body as energy or building material. As such your poop has significantly smaller mass because it’s made up of all the stuff you’re body can’t use after it’s pulled out so the good bits.

As for dogs my understanding is they have a shorter digestive tract to allow them to eat the nasty stuff does seem to like without getting sick so they are probably less efficient at removing nutrients and poop more proportionally to what they eat.

We do: my wife’s stuff and our t-shirts with pictures for delicates wash and literally everything else goes in on a standard wash cycle.

Sounds like you’re getting a house at some point. That’s great for you. Regarding the whole landlord issue you are struggling with: not all landlords are bad, in this circumstance your basically just offering extra space your not using in your house to someone else. That’s pretty reasonable. If you really don’t vibe with being a landlord in any capacity you could always sell up once it’s your house and buy something smaller just for you.
