Latest dad-coded experience: I have the biggest feet in the house, so my shoes have become the default "just going outside for a sec" for everyone else, and thus my shoes are never in same place or state that I left them.

Finally watched the Venture Bros movie (I was busy in 2023 ok) and the levels and payoff to the golem joke brought back everything I loved about that show when it would pop up every so often over 20 years.

The current goings on in the Executive Branch are in the under-explored area of Hanlon's razor that can be attributed to incompetent malice.

If Crew 9 doesn't respond does that mean they don't get to come home?

My BSky review of the OTC Dexcom CGM: There are two in a pack, I used the first one for 80% of its design life, found it more annoying than insightful and still have the 2nd one sitting unopened. I'm not diabetic and it agreed with that pre-existing fact.

Duke is one of the largest biomedical research enterprises in the country. A cut of this magnitude (15%cap on F&As) would result in thousands of lost jobs at Duke & potentially tens of thousands across NC.

~2000s TNT, which was HQ in downtown Atlanta, used to always do it's 7 Days of 007 marathon during Georgia Tech's finals week. The conspiracy theory was that programing was by UGA alums trying to make us fail our exams.

Recent conversations that opened a #publichealth policy question I genuinely don't know the answer to. Does making meds Rx->OTC increase risk to the public or just shift existing risk from existing illicit means with a similar mechanism? Is there any data from previous experience?

"I'll be fine" Many historical examples of what happens when large amts of civilian sci and engineering positions are eliminated. Defense is always hiring, if not at home other nations will benefit. Engineers and Scientists are good at solving problems, even better at finding pay to do so...

I would like neuroscience to explain to me why, while watching #SNL50 last night, my brain immediately reminded me that Julia Louis-Dreyfus is married to fellow SNL alum Brad Hall and so shouldn't be hitting on Adam Driver. A fact I haven't ever needed or even considered for at least 20 years.

At this point I know how not to do a "doctor squirt" when drawing up a syringe, but I still do one because it gives the nurses a nice bonding moment when they roll their eyes at each other behind my back.

Earnest Academic Post: Colleagues at NASA recently published this cool work showing (IMO) that the sense of stress in analog space environments is more related to day of mission than it is to the quality of isolation and can be somewhat mitigated by positive team dynamics.

I'm assuming that FDA and other regulatory bodies mostly hired their AI experts in the last year or so, and thus are probably all gone. So we're probably back to square one for any coherent policy for Software as a Device if anyone was hoping for stable regulatory environment for future development.

This is going to suck for all the reasons that it does elsewhere in .gov but I can speak with direct experience at NASA JSC: The types of folks this impacts are the ones who were the cream of the crop of contractors or were extraordinary enough to be directly hired into NASA. What a stupid loss.

It really sucks being reminded why all those scifi writers who lived through WWII wrote so many stories about proud civilizations being undone from within for the stupidest reasons.
