Bro, I got bad news for you, coming straight from Alberta...

I'm in the middle of book 7 and holy what a shift. I'm in the part where it's so overwhelming, you can't even begin to imagine how this will get resolved. Very excited to read the last two books.

Ok this is great though

Practical Engineering - in depth presentations of civil engineering feats, concepts, problems, solutions

Joe Scott - just simple, entertaining discussions of interesting topics

Philosophy Tube - longer format, intensely well-cited presentations on philosophy related to current events (with theatrical costumes!)

Ryan Hall - who knew that a weather forecast could be so fun? Regularly updated weather forecasts for the entire United States with detailed coverage and livestreams of events like tornado outbreaks, hurricanes, and large snowstorms. With charity drives to provide supplies to people on the ground

PBS Spacetime, PBS Eons, all the PBS channels really

Plainly Difficult - consistent quality, often hilarious presentations of various disasters. I particularly like his entire series on radiological accidents, often involving lost radioactive sources that random members of the public stumble onto, which is terrifying.

It's almost like people in the United States have the freedom to express their opinions on a matter. Imagine that!

This kind of passive bigotry is necessary for genocides to occur. It is the foundation on which the mechanisms of genocide are built.

It's not just no good; it's terrifying.

My friend, ongoing ignorance IS malice. I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you, but your family are just plain old racist.

(I say that as a person from a family full of very friendly, very racist people.)

Glad I'm not the only one who has witnessed this insane behavior. I made the mistake of leaving a grocery bag with bread on the floor once and only once. My youngest cat went ape shit and I came back into the room to a bread massacre right through the plastic bag.

I have zero idea what drives this

Hmm, "current went missing" isn't a phrase I'm used to hearing. I wonder if the cardiogram was indicating some level of heart block (often not a dangerous condition, just something to monitor).

With the high fibrinogen, they're probably concerned about clotting. I wonder, did they check a blood test called d-dimer by chance?

I'm glad you'll be seeing a doctor soon. We have a lot of good treatments for cardiac conditions these days.

May I ask you about the nature of your heart problems exactly?

Because a "heart attack" is not actually a medical thing. What people usually mean when they say "heart attack" is what we call a myocardial infarction (lack of blood flow to the heart muscle caused by a blockage or constriction in a coronary artery.) And less commonly people use the term "heart attack" to refer to cardiac arrest where the heart just stops beating for some reason. (Myocardial infarction can turn into cardiac arrest, but cardiac arrest can happen because of any number of other things as well.)

So do you have a confirmed occlusion of a coronary artery? Or do you have a diagnosed cardiac arrhythmia of some kind? What are they planning to do to treat you? Because "don't get excited" isn't a long term management strategy. It's usually just to get you through until you find a successful treatment.

Fresh episodes of X-Files and Star Trek: TNG every week.

Just that whole experience of something on television being a cultural zeitgeist because everyone had to watch it at the exact same time because that was the only time it existed. Sure, you could record it on VHS and watch later, but it wasn't the same. Even being at home watching alone felt like participating in a social event.

Apparently, I like listening to stories about death and disaster
