What we have here is a terminology problem.
When you experience anything it immediately forms a short term memory. To retain it for more than a brief period that short term memory has to be converted or moved to long term memory. These anaesthia drugs interfere with the process that moves short to long term memory.
Nope, I definitely mean long term. That’s the whole point… you don’t remember what happens for a little while, and it’s definitely on purpose. They also give you a soporific (makes you unconscious) and a paralytic (so you don’t move voluntarily or otherwise).
Even worse, there have been people who woke up during surgery but the paralytics were still working just fine, so they were awake, aware, and fully experiencing the pain of surgery but couldn’t move or tell anyone.
One of the first drugs they give you before surgery interferes with the formation of long term memories. There’s a good chance you were awake and aware for quite awhile after the first injection… you just couldn’t make long term memories about it.
It’s pretty whiny to downvote someone who’s clarifying a misleading article.
Yeah, it’s only slightly annoying because I rarely look at settings and when I do it takes a microsecond to scroll that tiny extra bit past the single line item.
There are a million other things in the world to get bent out of shape about. This is an utterly ridiculous hill to die on.
Yes, it’s not new and you don’t have to pay to get rid of them. If you can’t handle waiting for the offer to expire then you can accept the free trial and immediately cancel it. Unlike most companies apple ends a free trial immediately if you cancel it.
They’re also not pop up ads. They’re inline in the settings ui. I’ve been told I’m overly sensitive to ads and these only annoy me slightly.
Mine is supposedly arriving tomorrow, if ups can be trusted
they keep adding strips to the bottom of the trophy, so the answer to your question is “as much as you need.”
Dogdammit, now I want koolaid
By the way, which one’s Pink?
Lemmy will hate me for this but I subscribe to Amazon kindle unlimited. Since I read so much, I definitely couldn’t afford to pay for each book and the local library is pretty hit or miss on availability. Ultimately most of what I read is entertaining garbage but when you read compulsively like I do, the entertaining part is more important than the quality.
I’m retired, arthritic, agoraphobic, and neurodivergent… I average slightly more than one book a day.
Some of the new fusion startups are looking into aneutronic fusion, in which most of the energy output is directly captured as electricity. They will be using steam-driven generators to take advantage of the waste heat but they will be a secondary component.
Surprise suicide?
People don’t have to leave their homes anymore. Everything can be delivered or done online. Even some medical visits can be done online.
I quite enjoy most of them, if that helps
And basically all frozen chicken in US stores has been pumped full of brine. That includes raw chicken parts that look otherwise unprocessed.
Go buy a clamp stretcher. Life changing!
Yeah, you won’t remember anything from the time it kicks in to the time it wears off, give or take a couple of minutes.
The first time I went in for a surgery, my memory ends shortly after they pushed the first drug into my IV but my mom was there and she said we talked for another 15 minutes before they took me to the OR. I remember none of it but she says I was completely lucid as far as she could tell.
