| NightingaleMD 03/19/21 10:51:42 PM #15 | SauI_Goodman posted... you guys have a good wrestling team man. but wrestling/s kind of a niche sport though. Yeah, I've heard. Again, outside of football I don't pay a whole lot of attention. I did hear one of them won nationals four years in a row, I guess that's only happened a few times. IIRC Iowa is still the king of wrestling. All that farmin' from a young age probably has something to do with it. --- Pit doc |

| NightingaleMD 03/19/21 10:48:50 PM #11 | AloneIBreak posted... Honestly. You know damn well if Michigan blew it OSU would take great delight. Not really, and I speak as an OSU grad. But mostly because outside of football, every college sport is meaningless to me. I think I've watched like four basketball games this season. It's in the same category as track and field, volley ball, varsity pistol shooting and everything else I don't care about. --- Pit doc |

| Topic | How many of you get actual checks? |
| NightingaleMD 03/10/21 4:37:31 PM #3 | All my reimbursments for work (10k/year for CME stuff) come back in the form of a check for some reason. Regular pay is DD. Not sure why reimbursement needs a check, maybe it's more a paper trail. --- Pit doc |

| Topic | Neon Genesis Evangelion question (spoilers) |
| NightingaleMD 03/09/21 10:06:51 PM #3 | Yeah I, um, still didn't get it. I feel like he shouldn't have been surprised by what he saw. I know generally genji has adam's body on his hand and tries to merge with lilith's soul in rei. Not sure why he was surprised when he saw Lilith's body. --- Pit doc |
| Topic | Neon Genesis Evangelion question (spoilers) |
| NightingaleMD 03/09/21 8:39:38 PM #1 | When I was a kid I watched it and just thought it was about giant robots. The whole adam/lilith war thing was too complex for me to pick up on. Now looking back I get it a bit more but I'm still confused. Why are the angels attacking nerv if the body of lilith is down there when the last angel goes down there to merge his soul of adam into it? I mean the last angel had to have known in advance so I don't get why he acts surprised. If they're so dead-set on attacking that base they must KNOW already what's there. --- Pit doc |
| Topic | Can a human brain live forever? |
| NightingaleMD 03/02/21 11:19:50 AM #27 | pure_temper posted... I'm pretty confident the ultra rich have already been making progress behind closed doors. Probably not. Money can certainly help but it doesn't will science into existence. But since you're purporting a secret conspiracy obviously I have no way to refute that just as you have no way to prove it. Though I will say if someone secretly solved this science they would make even more money by copyrighting the procedure and making billions selling it. --- Pit doc |
| Topic | Can a human brain live forever? |
| NightingaleMD 03/01/21 11:01:02 PM #25 | pure_temper posted... this is a serious question. Maybe possible. They say "last in, first out" for a reason. Cryogenics is advancing and people more recently placed in it will be able to be freed first since they used later technology. The first attempts were basically just people putting heads in liquid nitrogen, completely destroying cellular structure. The challenge is freezing the body but not destroying microscopic structure like DNA/RNA, etc. Suspending the proteins without completely annihilating them. Some animals do some similar stuff. If you look at "oldest bacteria" there is stuff millions of years taken out of permafrost and warmed and lived again. These serve as study models. But still, far away. Much closer than your other idea though --- Pit doc |
| Topic | Can a human brain live forever? |
| NightingaleMD 03/01/21 9:59:38 PM #21 | Relevant to discussion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_neuron If these actually existed mapping things would be easier seems consciousness, what makes you YOU, is just a network of signals. --- Pit doc |
| Topic | Can a human brain live forever? |
| NightingaleMD 03/01/21 9:57:40 PM #19 | Trumble posted... It's probably going to be one of those things where no one takes it all that seriously for a while, then suddenly one day some nerd with nothing better to do has a Brilliant Idea except by pure luck it actually is good and suddenly propels the field forward. disagree I'm not certain it's something that will ever be solved. One thing that really prevents that is an understanding of how human consciousness actually WORKS. It's still a complete mystery. shows have people "upload their minds" but the human mind is the most intricate thing in the universe. If something like this were possible we're still hundreds of years out from getting close, I would expect. 0% progress so far. --- Pit doc |
| Topic | Is the TV show Community good? |
| NightingaleMD 03/01/21 5:40:14 PM #3 | first two seasons are great kinda went off the wall with absurdism later seasons but classroom-based humor was fantastic. --- Pit doc |
| Topic | Can a human brain live forever? |
| NightingaleMD 03/01/21 4:34:08 PM #14 | pure_temper posted... what about brain restoration or medicine? It helps right? Could we conceivably find new techniques that restore brain decay or that keep it going longer? Nothing restores dead cells nothing outside of sci-fi Neurons are incredibly complex. There has been absolutely no advancement in this front in modern medicine and none on the horizon. That's why people don't walk after a massive stroke* *if large clot is not taken out quickly or broken up with tpa. There can be some gain of function through aggressive PT but if there is a massive MCA stroke and it's not treated that part of the body ain't ever moving again --- Pit doc |
| Topic | Can a human brain live forever? |
| NightingaleMD 03/01/21 1:27:43 PM #8 | Brain atrophies over time, the neuron cells just die. A head CT of a 20 year old versus a 120 year old is markedly different. That's why that's sci-fi and not sci. Even if you had an immortal body after about 130-140 years there wouldn't be much up there, assuming you escaped alzheimer/brain cancer/etc --- Pit doc |

| Topic | I wish they had a Megaman X anime. |
| NightingaleMD 02/19/21 6:09:40 PM #3 | Yeah that was always a part of the franchise totally ignored in animation. Ever see Day of Sigma? It was a 30 minute prologue to MMX released with a remaster. Pretty good and about as close as we'll get. MMX3 on PS1 had anime in it, most of us played only the SNES version with these removed. --- Pit doc |
