    Really enjoyed his book thinking fast and slow, it incorporated a lot of information in a digestible way. I know there's debate about results as there always will be in these fields. However, I feel it was a good counter-weight to standard corporate philosophies, and I think his work is important to continue. I felt if I knew of the field prior to my masters degree I may have switched into it, but alas I'm in no position to take on more debt. Regardless I think it's critical we continue to push and question intuitive thinking and rather work on finding ways to improve ourselves in these new economic times with AI advances.

    I would suggest if you could stomach it to try full fat coconut milk out of a tin can to see if it doesn't bloat you. I think you're on to milk being the likely culprit.

    It sounds like there's increased staffing in this model if I'm reading between the lines with nurses on standby line.

    So normally they'll run without the extra nurses and then it takes time for the nurses who are in a surgery to break down gowns and gloves from the surgery, clean the suit, prep the room, get prepped for next surgery. Since they're not on standby normally they probably also need time to wait for anesthesia to kick in as well.

    Just my guess based on the language use and how overworked nursds are in the traditional model.

    For me the de-activation and delete button weren't where the locations their help website said. I had to hunt in account center and it was under some third location, so if you have the account center on the top I'd hunt around all the options one more time. I'm pretty sure it's intentionally hard to find and that's frustrating.

    It was also the case even after deactivating my account, it would be open again 15 days later somehow...i even changed my password to a super complicated one, deactivated my account and 2 weeks later my husband said it was back on....so I feel they are not truly deactivating accts. Definitely leverage anything you have to make them delete your data.

    I feel like time is so limited but my husband wanted to wake up earlier to do yoga, so I decided to join him.

    Honestly it's been really refreshing, I have also been feeling it so I'm not sure if that means I'm doing some poses wrong or finally doing them right. Tightness is in the shoulders, back. I have always known I'm weak in these areas but to feel it during yoga poses makes me wonder how weak I might be.

    Here's to seeing how much of a change I feel in 30 days!

    I want to get back to also incorporating some other exercises in the evening but am going a bit slower so I don't overdo it. I've been known to overdo it in the past.

    I do wonder if the word used itself wouldn't get twisted no matter the word.

    Another concept to think about is entitlement benefits like Medicare, social security. It used to mean, yes I'm a entitled to those benefits because i paid for them. However it's being twisted into your entitled (spoiled, a brat) of you think you deserve the benefit. Now we've been slowly telling generations not to expect to see any social security payouts when planning their retirement.

    Obviously social security is much more nuanced than that but as an overall concept of how words have meaning but people who want to shift that meaning will do it regardless.

    So how do we address that as well. I do think we need to shift language when it becomes charged and negative but does that force people to always be on the defensive vs being able to articulate themselves properly.

    I am going to be honest i do struggle to see/understand your view, now in my life. I did hold it previously though myself.

    I think bad people (not you) will take your view and make it more restrictive because their end goal is birth no matter what. I don't see you as that way. I do see you wanting to do the right thing as much as possible trying to maximize the good here. However, Ill be honest i don't see people with this viability mindset getting too worked up when it slowly gets chipped away, maybe i am wrong but thats how it played out in the south..becoming more and more restrictive.

    So the below can be ignored but want to go through some of my own internal struggles I had to truly stand by my position previously and why it's shifted drastically.

    If we're using statistical viability as our threshold. Why are we arbitrarily picking 90 percent? isn't a 1 out of 2 viable a reason to pick that window, so 50% should be reasonable right. We can see in the CPR thread on this site many people push on chests without consent for less than 20 chance of viability (survivability).

    How do we define fetal abnormalities? To me that risks getting to eugenics if the fetus is highly viable? I personally cannot grasp this mindset this highly viable living thing is okay to kill now because it's DNA is set up wrong.

    How do we define mother life at risk? Do we have to balance out the viability, is high blood pressure which can be a sign of a serious disease but also nothing by itself sufficient enough to now have an abortion treatment or is the option limited to c-section now? Do we wait for sepsis? Sepsis can be a silent killer, sepsis is the reason for death of women in other countries with abortion laws.

    Can women than have a c-section at this point and give up for adoption. You point is viability right? So if the fetus is highly viable women should be able to schedule a c-section at any point after 27 weeks and doctors should have to perform it? That risks choice for the doctor though doesn't it. However why does one lose choice pregnant women and not the other? If we say it's up to viability the medical license shouldn't be at risk and it should be considered safe enough to perform as requested, no? Idk it's frustrating to settle this one at all.

    Now what if the woman has cancer and the condition isn't life threatening but not getting treatment could become life threatening and the treatment she needs is life threatening to the baby? Now do we force a doctor to do a c-section because the mothers life is at risk or is the risk too minimal.

    What about women who are 42 weeks along and want to wait for natural birth. Now viability is decreasing rabidly should they be forced to have a c-section or other pharmalogics to give birth, regardless of how they want to do?

    Speaking of women birthing choices should at home births be allowed? How about in a pool? We've seen these things decrease viability especially for an at risk pregnancy.

    My perspective and concern being the idea of making this anything other than a personal decision of a women and her body for medical treatment. Anything more restrictive leaves room for the laws were seeing and then people are making horrendous choices because of these laws. As someone who went through pregnancy and birth it made me more firm in this. It's complicated and every appointment is filled with anxiety even when wanted, and now considering having another child in the post-roe world when my body had to get medication in the past for two failed pregnancies that would've otherwise made me septic, and those medications being allowed for now but uncertainty as cases will likely be filed again. My body has failed me twice before and I'm not sure it won't again, but after having our son here and the world of joy he brings its worth some of the risk, should I be given a risk of a death sentence for that choice though?

    If this 17 year old lived somewhere else I'm not sure she would've been thrusted into this game theory-ship that had a no-win answer in her mind because of what access she had due to her states slowly chipped away more restrictive laws.

    Anyways I hope this made sense and gets to nuance of why I struggle to understand the view anymore. Even if I did at one point.

    I don't know about @Minori but I set up meetings for people who go 48 hours with no responses, I'm not expecting right now responses usually but a response within 48 hours is reasonable and for some people you'll be lucky to even get a read receipt confirming they've read it within 48 hrs. Yet a meeting invite will finally trigger a response, and for some people you can even cancel the meeting now they responded.

    One of my favorite recipes is a cup of rice two small cans of cream of mushroom soup stired together with rice, and pork shoulders laid on top covered and cooked in the oven 375 for 25 or so minutes. (Edit had the time off), you may need to add a little water too although I don't think I add much if at all depends how liquidy your soup is)
