I'm a surgeon, and often work long hours. Lots of my colleague do too. I have always only needed 4-5 hours of sleep per night - just wake up after 5 hours, even without an alarm. Many of my surgical partners are the same, but just not as much. Surgery seems to attract people who tend not to need much sleep, and are driven.
I have never heard of a surgeon, nor seen, a mistake, or poor outcome, due to someone being tired
If someone can show a higher complication rate for surgeon, who are sleepy, then I'd consider the above proposal, otherwise it's just over reactionary crap.
I've had plenty of times like the above "scenario" where I've been a bit tired. No mistakes, no complications, no extra time - everything turned out perfectly. If I'm tired, then I'll do something about it. I've delayed 2 cases until the next day in 5 years (thats' 2 cases out of 1750 cases because of being tired).
Let's see some data, as opposed to truck driver, or pilot studies - 'cause surgery isn't anything like those jobs.

I think that this is more of a study in being a Devils Advocate, re-affirming the scientific process, and a study of the history of science. I will, as an INTP personality type, argue against my position sometimes, to hear out any weaknesses in my position.

Have her where her clothing for a day or two, with no deoderant, and plastic bag it. Her scent might last a year or two. But to be honest, at some point, you will need to move on. It will be healthy to have fond memories, but funerals are for the living to help let go, because everyone goes at some point. Living is about those around you, and the past shouldn't get in the way of the present - it's not good for anyone, and if she really loves you, then she'd want you happy after she's gone.
I too, ran GLXGEARS to check my framerate, and was pulling 3500 FPS on a 6 month old good card, and was wondering - "HOLY fuct! -what card do you have that runs that fast?"
And then I remembered you could shrink the screen, and get higher FPS (makes glxgers screen tiny)
They compared a Porsche Boxster variation (320 HP, $70,000, 2900 pounds) to the Tesla (288HP $155,000 , 2800 pounds), and the Porsche won. There is no Porsche made in the last 20 years that had only 220 HP
Now for $150,000 you can get a new Porsche 911 Turbo 0-60 3.2 seconds, 3400 pounds, and that will trounce the tesla a bit more than the Boxster.
I think there's a bunch of fudging in this article to help justify it's conclusions.. At least with the West coast, having a solar facility out in the desert, between Los Angeles and Las Vegas would be easy to make, and supply most/all of the Southwests needs. The rest of the county doesn't have that benefit of so much sun, and nuke power will be useful/needed.
What was that study - 91x91 miles of solar panels would supply 80% of ALL of the USA power needs? Build it bigger, and make the super conducter version of the Alaskan pipeline and sell it to Canada and Mexico..
I personally did about 15-17 Gs in a car accident 35 to 0 in about 2.5 feet. Broke 3 ribs on the typical 3point seat belt, and my wrist on the steering wheel. A racing harness would have got me thru w/o out any rib fractures. Colonel John Paul Stapp often did 32 g and walked away often easily, and did 42G a bunch of times on his rocket sled experiments. Some race car drives have undergone 100G to 150 G in some of their crashes (with many broken bones).
I think the 12g/17G is referring to max force that people can withstand for minutes at a time. People often withstand much more instantaneously
Spot images that I'm referring to are by the surgeon, being used to get a trajectory for a screw for instance, and typically they are not shielded, 'cause I have to hold the drill while looking at the x-ray.
This will be good for doing angios, etc, where they just stand around and watch - which is good, 'cause they just hit the fluoro pedal, and the radiation stream is constant. For stuff like orthopaedics (my specialty), we usually just use spot images, and have to move around a lot, twist the patients legs, reduce fractures, etc, This suit is way too bulky, and wont be useful
Not a bad idea - I can see it getting used. "zero G" - now that just makes me laugh
ok please show me any scientific body of evidence that supports that vaccines cause autoimmune diseases. I don't think you'll find any reputable sources. A vaccine is merely supplying your immune system with an antigen to provide immunity in the future. By your logic, any immune response, from anyting, might cause autoimmune diseases. You sound like you like Jenny McCarthys idiotic rantings.
at what point do we bother to call/diagnose people as having Autism/Aspergers? - Clearly up for debate, and the pendulum tends to swing one way, and then back another way. In the end, Diagnosing someone with autism/Aspergers only does someone good, if it allows treatment that can improve their lives. Helicopter parents wanting a "diagnosis" on their poorly performing kid in school will eventually stop trying to label their kid as having this.
I think you'll find a much higher viewership than sports. When I was at the N.I.H. , pretty much every research guy I knew liked the Stooges, and also had Far Side cartoons on their door.
I finished my stint at the NIH a while ago, and am a surgeon at a major academic institution. Pretty much every guy I know in my field practices some form of religion - this was also true at NIH as well. We were all somewhat quiet about it as well.
Anecdotal -yes, but I find that sometimes the atheists, in science, exhibit a belittling attitude, which the people who believed did not. That may be the reason why people were quiet about their faith, as well as there was not much of a reason to bring it up at work.
The temperature of objects produces (from what i recall of physics) black body radiation - meaning it produces light wavelengths. Just because we associate melted iron being red hot, doesn't mean other metals melt when they start to glow. It just means they are hot enough to produce enough black body radiation that we can see. Look at mercury for example as an opposite.
I briefly checked out all four parts of it, and nothing there references anything about anti-vehicular weapons vs people. If you car to provide a link, I'd be happy to be proved wrong. To be honest, I don't see how they would be prohibited, when bombs can be used.
Well the rates for malpractice insurance can be pretty high. Neuro surgeons in NYC probably pay around $100k EACH YEAR. And so who do you think gets those costs passed along.
Med school Loans are typically around $100K

As all ins co. have "deals" with hospitals. If you look at the bill, then you'll see that the ins co only pays a fraction of the charge. Indeed - most doctors only collect about 21-22% of what they bill. 80% off that's right.
