<p>I have a TCL so maybe it's different, but did your TVs require connection to set up?<p>The TCL can still act as a HDMI switch with CEC, and that can be labeled through the remote if you want, so there was never any need to connect to a network.</p>

<p>Yes, it is an issue.<p>One of the big problems with anesthesia is balancing respiratory depression while medicating the patient enough to manage the symptoms. Fentanyl is used in anesthesia and it causes respiratory depression.<p>A strong pain medication that doesn't slow or stop breathing would significantly improve the safety of anesthesia.</p>

<p>I wonder if this modification brings it closer to the mitragynine from kratom, which has opiate like pain dulling effects with very minor or no effect on breathing.<p>I hope so because the administration is looking to really fuck over medical research by making the 7-OH stuff a schedule 1 narcotic, when it has so much potential for improving anesthesia and pain management by removing respiratory depression from the pain killing element of the anesthetic cocktail.</p>

<p>Lotus root is pretty common. A crunchy tuber that keeps its texture after cooking, bland taste, unique visual appeal. I threw some in the last pot of bean chili my family made, and the kids liked it.</p>

<p>Seeing my neighbors gathering ginkgo nuts made me curious enough to try them, and I waded right in without understanding the risks! TLDR— they're not a great food source. It's yet another one of those cases where you have to wonder what "delicacy" means.<p>The actual fruit (looks like a rotten plum, smells terrible) has ginkgolic acids which cause contact dermatitis (think poison ivy).<p>Then the nuts themselves contain Ginkgotoxin, which interferes with your B6, screwing up your nervous system and causing seizures. Cooking reduces but does not eliminate Ginkgotoxin.<p>I only ate one, and ate it raw. It was a delightful texture, but tasted like chewing random plant matter. Like leaves from a tree. Was maybe half a cubic centimeter of matter. Escaped any ill effects.<p>According to my research, kids can have seizures from as few as 10 nuts, which would probably be like 1.5 spoonfuls if you mashed them up. The guidelines I found don't seem very scientific but supposedly a kid can safely handle 3-5 nuts over the course of a day, and an adult could handle 5-10. So it doesn't seem like there is a good margin of safety.<p>Overall a real risk to health for an insignificant amount of food that doesn't taste special. But a nice texture.</p>
