A little thing I quickly did up in illustrator after yesterday's bi flag fiasco. Use it as you will

A minor correction to my post here. Nothing major, but I did get the heartbeat slightly wrong. Q is actually a small downwave at the beginning of the QRS complex. My point still stands, particularly as I got most of the ECG right, but it's worth correcting. Also, there's something called a U wave. Not majorly important, usually doesn't even show up, but, that's there, in case you cared.

Now, that said, it does seem similar to the ECG output corresponding to 3rd degree heart block (shown below). Something tells me, though, that the game devs didn't do that on purpose and kinda just drew what they thought a heartbeat looks like.

Here's an ECG from a game, with a rough scribbled on normal heartbeat for comparison. Notice how the game's ECG lacks a T wave and seemingly is missing that Q interval (or it has no P wave and 2 RS complexes). This bugs me intensely.

Covid, photography 

Yesterday, I walked to a nearby park only to discover a depressing scene. Today, I walked back with my phone to document it.

Took ten tries to get the video small enough, but here ya go. The shitty wafer lock on my desk.

Reminds me of that thing about opening a car door with a popsicle stick. (Yes, those are also wafer locks.)

On meds and trademarks 

I'm looking through a textbook for EMTs and, uh, I'd just like to call attention to the fact it refers to the Auvi-Q epinephrine autoinjector as "An Auvi-Q EpiPen". Yes, a textbook for EMTs uses "EpiPen" as a generic term for an epinephrine autoinjector. Just sayin'

Covid, selfie, ec 

The one upside to covid is that it's made wearing a respirator in public socially acceptable. Now if only we could make collars socially acceptable...

So, for a discussion on visualizing earths history in my geo class, I mocked up my idea of using a 4K television. Does, uh, this look familiar to anyone else?

(Spoiler alert: I accidentally created an upside down—and a bit distorted—polya pride flag.)

Oh, goodie goodie. I'm *required* to use LockDown Browser to take quizzes for my chem class. Now, this would be bad enough on its own (it's a horribly invasive and perfectly useless piece of software), but I can't even install the damn thing! No matter how many times I try redownloading, I always get the same error. And this is before the issues I've heard others have had with getting it to work under Wine. If anyone has suggestions, let me know before midnight, would ya?

No, my dear Jeremiah, I've been transitioning!

Yes, after a long while, I've spent time hacking my 3DS to change my mayor's name and gender! I may not be able to join y'all in the newest Animal Crossing, but at least I can now comfortably play acnl!

So, I wanted to know what the eagle referenced in Citation Needed 6x03 was (I couldn't quite make out what Tom said it was), so I searched "new Zealand big fucking eagle" and, uh...what the fuck duckduckgo?!

So, I'm flipping through a small notebook of mine when I stumble across this. I have no clue what it is. It might be an autograph I got at some point, but *whose* and *when*? The other possibility I can think of is maybe I was trying to do a Wynter autograph, but that doesn't look like anything I did, I don't think. It's weird. What is this mysterious autograph?

Did you know that MS Money 2005 plays very Sims-esque music while it installs?
