Aye, same. Should hope you’re getting more than 100 hours of sleep!

Second highest is work. Boo.

Got kids?

Maybe I’ve got my fit wrong, but I don’t think I’ve got more muscle between my buttocks. Definitely get slightly calloused though 😬

Fair. Maybe I’m just sensitive down there!

I almost always ride with a cutout saddle and with padded shorts. The main thing you get extra from this type of saddle and the shorts is not being distracted by a painful taint.

I don’t race, but I keep an alright pace on road routes. When in season and I’m focusing on cycling more than running I’m usually doing 60-100k rides every fortnight or so.

If you want to have any flesh left between the saddle and your pelvis when doing 50 mile rides, you’ll want the padding!

People underestimate how comfy these seats are! Even without padded shorts you can get so much further without chafing if your seat has the cutout.

He would already have been detained in Israel as a terrorist for bringing gifts to Palestinian children.

Coal dust and a lit match I think

Basically just my partner. Not weird?

Yes, family history is something I neglected to mention and is true. More generally though, the risks of anaesthesia are underestimated.

I’ve also worked as nurse in an endoscopy clinic. Different healthcare systems have different attitudes to evidence.

How so?

Let’s say, for argument’s sake, that they are falling in “ideal conditions” and it takes the person 2 days to die (they had the shits when they jumped) and a further two days to dry out. With a parachute open they could be falling at about 10mph (or possibly even slower as they lose further moisture!). 4 days at 10mph is 960 miles

The live person is the best person at skydiving to have ever lived, and spends most of the time not in the panels at 350mph (almost at the speed record). 960 miles at 350mph only takes 2.7 hours.

Maybe not so long after all?

My maths could be completely off though - haven’t used it much in years.

Or how long the living guy would have to be free falling to catch up with the person who’s a dessicated corpse?

Get ready for something they were doing 20 years ago?

Your healthcare providers are perversely incentivised to recommend scoping because it’s an easy money maker, but for most people the discovery and removal of benign polyps is not worth the risks that come with an invasive procedure (IV stab to give sedation and pain relief, over sedation affecting tasks requiring concentration, complications due to the procedure itself).

Or that, and the colonoscopy is indicated by genetic testing.

Get your hearing/eyesight tested. Both can gradually get worse without people realising.

Don’t schedule a colonoscopy unless you have symptoms of a GI disorder, or unexplained weight loss. The evidence does not support non-targeted screening programs.

I don’t think it’s anything as sinister from the current government. I’m not saying it’s a good idea, but they’re more stupid and weak than they are totalitarian. British Labour has had an obsession with “tech” solutions for social issues since the start of the Blair years. Sometimes it works, but as often it’s mired in incompetency and corruption.

I suspect that this recent spate of apparent puritanism is because they recognise that gender-based and sexual violence are “issues” after the discourse around Adolescence, but they can’t/don’t want to do anything actually meaningful (improve welfare, job opportunities, life prospects) so are latching onto what they believe are “easy” solutions. No-one with power actually understands how net infrastructure works, or cares about privacy as a principle, but they do have a group think that also leads them to think that this might make some inroads with “the right.”

It’s all absolute garbage being slapped together by career politicians who don’t understand anything and are primarily interested either in their next election or their post-parliament careers.
