That whole issue sounds incredibly stupid from the outside. Would there be the same outrage if someone named their kid Ghengis? He killed even more people. Or Vlad, as in Vlad the Impaler? Or Joseph as in Joseph Stalin? Looking at this with an outside perspective, it truly sounds as the whole thing is fabricated because people just hate the marriage between a Hindu and a Muslim.

That's somewhat incorrect. Their stingers have barbs that get stuck in skin and the like and pull out their organs when they try to extract, but that was because it evolved to pierce carapace, not skin. They can sting other insects without dying.

Also, as someone else pointed out, some bees, like bumblebees and carpenter bees,have smooth stingers that do not get stuck in skin.

Yellowjackets can sting the fuck out of you multiple times, too. I got stung by two of them last summer and then they somehow got inside my t-shirt and stung me a bunch more times before I made it inside and flung my shirt off. After waiting half an hour for the pain to subside, I picked up my t-shirt to put it back on and the two yellowjackets fell out of it, still alive. Fortunately they were as surprised as I was and I was able to stomp them before they stung me again.

thats not true. they die when they lose their stinger, which does not happen with every sting. stingers easily get stuck in human skin though which causes them to lose their stinger so easily.

And in this particular case, the soft lining of the esophagus wouldn't necessarily get the stinger stuck.

Drones don't have stingers. Queens and workers have stingers. Queens are from worker larva that are fed royal jelly that transforms them into a queen that is capable of reproduction. Workers are technically female but they're closer to asexual.

With the focus of wealth inequality, I thought I'd just share this morbid reminder from the middle ages that there is no inequality in death. It will find everyone. No amount of money will let anyone escape it. Just something to consider when you are thinking about what to pursue in life. To that extent, I do feel somewhat sorry when I hear that a billionaire has died, because I know that they likely spent most of their life pursuing things that are ultimately worthless, and it makes me re-evaluate just what I am doing with mine.

But billionaires def work less than a lot of people without monies.

They certainly don't have to work as much, or at all really. I recognize that there is an enormous gap between someone struggling to put food on the table and a billionaire, but it is also very easy to focus on work and increasing financial stability/independence at the detriment of more important things. It reminds of the song Cat's In The Cradle: https://youtu.be/5u-KWa3tL-0?list=RD5u-KWa3tL-0 (especially appropriate on Father's day weekend). My dad worked long hours when I was growing up, and I slept in a hallway/laundry room because he couldn't afford to rent a larger place, but he still made time for me and my siblings, and I wouldn't trade my childhood for literally all the money in the world.

Does that mean that people who are struggling to feed their family don't really need the money? No. Would it have been easier if my family had more money? Sure. But I have also noticed that peoples' lifestyles seem to grow to match their incomes, and it never seems like it is quite enough. There is always that next job or promotion or opportunity that will put you in a slightly better position and then finally it will be enough. Once basic needs met (air, water, food, shelter), I believe that money can start creating more problems for people than it solves. With tons of money comes tons of distractions, and temptations; there aren't any poor people on the Epstein list. Its easy for me to say they are horrible people and I would never engage in activities like that, but it also isn't an option for me. I can't honestly claim virtue for avoiding an evil that my situation in life doesn't allow for. Life seems much easier when nobody stops you from getting what you want, but I have to wonder if sometimes it is a blessing in disguise when they do...

Yes, but you are not describing how the elite lives, or does business/opportunities.

They have people for the toughest of work & decisions. Their only work is moving capital around & giving general ideas to people working for them. The people working for them are paid millions.
(The "manual labor", such as designs or wherever, is like a hobby, not a business/success necessity.)

There is an unimaginable difference between people with 10s of millions ("rich") vs billions.
(And, since you mention 'promotions', there is a total mentality shift between the owner class & the working class, even when the latter get paid millions.)

And/Tho workaholics aren't really tied to a class.
I know plenty of workaholics that are lower or middle class, overworking themselves bcs they can't really not do it, even when they know they are missing on family time & extra work won't provide extra finances.

Once basic needs met (air, water, food, shelter), I believe that money can start creating more problems for people than it solves.

No.

The whole mentality of "yo, it's really hard to be rich, not worth it, feel sorry for me" is literally just propaganda for the workers to be docile & keep working dead-end jobs.

With tons of money comes tons of distractions, and temptations; there aren't any poor people on the Epstein list.

Plenty of low-income junkies.
Plenty of low-income pedofiles.
Just their surroundings are different if they are billionaires. And their power and immunity too.

Its just people, all of it, with the difference that a few benefit from the work of/added value by many.

Based on the simulations I've seen, yeah. I'm sure there were plenty of panic in the sub and during the anaphylaxis, but I believe once the sub failed, there was less than a second between in first physical sensation to the complete disorganization of the nervous system, rendering the sub death quite painless. With anaphlaxis, even a sudden, sever attack, there will be several minutes of (at least) muscle strain as your diaphragm desperately tries to pull in more oxygen, and also general pain as your tissues squeeze against one another as they expand and nerve cells die.

I can and have accepted death; I'm too old to believe radical life extension will save me. But, many deaths are incredibly painful. If I have a choice on how to go out, inert gas asphyxiation seems best, but some sort of rapid disorganization isn't too bad. Anaphylactic shock seems worse.

philpo 3 points a year ago

As it came up here a bit of a longer explanation.

  1. Airway management contains much more than just "getting a hole into the neck" - it starts with nebulised adrenaline (which works wonders but must be used in moderation due to the side effects), regular endotracheal intubation with a (preferably video)laryngoscope, if necessary with a tube that is resistant against swelling(woodbridge tube) before a cricothyrotomy (not a tracheotomy,see below) is performed - and is supported by intravasal drugs (mostly adrenaline, a glucocorticoid and H1 blockers, in some cases also a beta2 antagonist and a anticholinergic agent). A cric is always the last choice due to the high risk to benefit ratio.

  2. Even a qualified responder won't do a tracheotomy - emergency tracheotomies are extremly rare and basically only necessary when either the pharyngeal structures are damaged beyond rescue (due to trauma, cancer or some real rare diseases. This is not the case in anaphylaxis. The reasons for a tracheotomy not being used are many. It takes a lot of time,is far harder to achieve (getting between the tracheal cartilage is not as easy as it sounds), the risk of "hitting" structures that are vital to the patient are considerable (seen a patient who's v.jug. ran over the spot) and the required training to do it is considerable - Besides ENTs and sometimes intensivists around here none therefore is even trained to do it anymore. I occasionally teach emergency surgical techniques to interns and med students and we don't do so,beyond explaining the core concept, neither does any uni in central or northern Europe that I know of, same goes for AU/NZ.

  3. A "cric" is far easier, but still takes some skill - both needle or open surgical cric(I would prefer the later) does require correct identification of the landmarks (which can be tough), good surgical technique and mainly: Training - lots of it. We therefore teach paramedics only a needle based approach (in combination with jet ventilation) - and tbh, most EM docs are not that "up to standard" in this technique as well - even though a cric is far easier than a trach.

  4. The technique mentioned here will, with a 95% chance, not lead to any airway access, damage the thyroid (which bleeds like fuck) or the vagina carotica (the structure that contains the large vessels in the neck as well as the nervus vagus). If that happens the patient is usually beyond rescue. A case that, even if in cardiac arrest, had at least a slim chance of survival, will then certainly die - post anaphylaxis arrests with good bystander CPR have a somewhat improved prognosis - considering that that a laymans trach likely would diminish chest compression quality for minutes this would simply take that chance away from the patient.

  5. Whoever thinks he needs to teach that in civilan responder courses needs to be fired - it's not part in any curriculum worldwide as they are all more or less based on the same guidelines.

I was stung once by a bee when I was a kid and my mother threw mud on it. While the mud dried, it drew out the stinger.

I’m outside making bbq, having a mikes hard lemonade of some kind. Grab my bottle, take a swig, and suddenly I have what feels like a wet piece of carpet halfway in my mouth.

So I pull the bottle away from my face and lo and behold the most massive hornet I have ever seen in my life plops down and hits the ground. Like at least two and a half inches long. Little guy was drunk as all hell after taking a swim and thankfully didnt sting me when I had his ass in my mouth

Kids don't go hungry because of money, they go hungry because of politics. Famines are the product of conflict, especially war. And hunger in countries that are not at war is a product of social inequality. Sure a billionaire could help but that's just a temp fix.

I disagree. I believe that billionaires control the world. It is their attitude that is pervasive throughout government that allows the hunger to continue. Not to mention the number of uber rich people in the various governments, riding around in limousines while their people starve.

Also capitalism requires a large body of poor people to support it. Those cheap T-shirts aren't made by highly paid labor. And who benefits most from capitalism?

I can probably come up with numerous other connections between the ultra rich and the state of poverty.

Broadly I would tend to agree but... there's plenty of billionaires who give away billions. Rather than wait, just google it. It doesn't mean they're nice people but their money does good. There's no getting around that.

I know that most wealthy people give money either as a performance for others or out of guilt but that's still money given to people who need it. Personally I don't care about their motives so long as their money actually helps.

As for somehow creating some kind of socialist utopia where billionaires don't exist, you would be ignoring our entire history as a species. Sooner or later "some animals are more equal than others". It sucks, particularly if you are the sort of person who has an abundance of empathy but there it is. Best we can do, I reckon, is look after the people in our immediate vicinity. If we all did that mind you then maybe things would get better but I'm not holding my breath.

Like who, bill gates and Warren buffet? Are you sure they’re giving away their billions or did they just say so? Or are they giving their money to “charities” run by their kids and their kid's friends as a way to funnel their wealth to their children? Which is what buffet and gates literally do. These people are billionaires, you don’t think they have PR that tells them to say they’re altruistic? You don’t think they straight up lie when they tell you they’re giving away their money?

I think Gates' ex-wife has been administering a lot of money through her foundation.

(Googles it...) Wow... "She claimed in her divorce plea that Sunjay forced her to sleep with his friends on their honeymoon. She also alleged that he asked his mother to slap her when she was pregnant."

Scumbag confirmed.

Not just to slap her while pregnant, but specifically because she didn’t fit into the dress her MIL wanted her to wear.

You know how pregnant people tend to stay the same size throughout their pregnancy

There’s no such thing as a good billionaire. That’s like watching a man eating dragon sitting on a pile of gold and being like “yeah but he gave me a coin once”

To become a billionaire, you steal the wages, benefits, severance, etc. from all the employees that made you a rich with their labor. You become a billionaire by keeping 99% of the wealth from the work of others. Billionaires are literally hoarding wealth while millions starve. How is that a good man? If you’re a billionaire, you fucked everyone on your way up. You’re not good.
