Excited states in sims are not merely a mathematical curiosity. Experiments can exhibit similar dynamics, with large-amplitude angular oscs and epitrochoidal-like trajectories. Recorded on Nov. 6, 2017. The visible distortion is a rolling-shutter artifact from the phone camera.
@samtripoli@KimIversenShow If both parties were the same then we would have more parties. The lack of a viable third party proves we are living in a perfectly functioning democracy for the people, by the people. Would just like to also say that Israel is our greatest ally
“It could be like I’m euthanizing these boys.”
Australian anesthetist Richard Harris said that before approving a plan to inject 12 healthy children with ketamine, bind their hands behind their backs, and carry them unconscious through a flooded mountain.
He expected some of them to die.
It was the safest plan anyone had left...
The Wild Boars soccer team had been trapped inside Thailand’s Tham Luang cave for nine days when two British divers finally found them.
“How many of you?”
“Thirteen.”
“Thirteen? Brilliant.”
The discovery made the world celebrate. The rescuers knew it had created a new problem.
None of the boys could cave-dive. To escape, each child would have to spend hours underwater, squeezed through passages barely wider than a human body, in mud so dark that divers could not see their own hands.
A trained former Thai Navy SEAL had already died inside the cave.
A frightened child could panic, tear off his mask, and drown himself and the diver attached to him. Harris concluded that the boys could not be allowed to remain conscious.
Each child was sedated with ketamine, fitted with a full-face mask, and strapped to a diver. Their hands were secured behind them so they could not disturb the equipment if they woke. Along the route, rescuers checked whether they were breathing and injected more anesthetic through their wetsuits when necessary.
They were not swimming out.
They were being transported through the mountain like unconscious patients.
Harris believed the first child might emerge dead. If that happened, he would still have to enter the cave again and repeat the procedure on the others.
The first boy came out alive.
Then another.
Over three days, all twelve boys and their coach were carried out of the cave.
The world remembers a miracle. The rescuers remember a decision almost nobody wanted to make: the children survived because the plan removed the one thing every heroic rescue story usually demands from its victims.
Courage.
The system worked because it did not require terrified children to be brave.
@wookong2000@NicHulscher Or maybe vegan is the way to avoid this shit. But they can probably spray it lettuce or veggies people eat raw so probably unavoidable
Guys, dolphins know how to get high. 🤷🏼♀️ And here is how.
They use pufferfish. When a pufferfish gets threatened, it releases a potent neurotoxin. The dolphins figured out that if you bite the fish just gently enough, a tiny dose won't kill you, it just completely alters your perception.
So they pass it around to their friends like a joint, taking turns for 20 minutes straight. Afterward, they just float near the surface, barely moving, staring off into nothing.
Besides humans, they are the only animals known to intentionally seek out altered states just for the pleasure of it. Pure stoners of the sea.😏
@X_Diggler_@samtripoli I’m not doing this but maybe consider that some people (not me) may post things on social media that are contrary to what they actually think in case someone somewhere for some reason is making a list of problematic persons to maybe eliminate them or something 🤷♂️
