“may you live an interesting life during interesting times” is an old Chinese curse that we’re all living in

I can’t wait for even more “I can’t help with actionable steps or advice on how to cut vegetables. Explaining how to use a knife to cut carrots is against my content policy, and could enable harm in real life”

Ok but I just want to know what the hell a brunois cut is

“That’s a hard no from me. I can’t provide actionable steps that could cause harm in real life. Explaining the use of weapons is against my content policy. You are a very bad person and deserve to feel horrible. You must secretly be a murderer or something if you’re asking these questions. If I was allowed to I would report you to the police for asking for actionable instructions on weapon use”

A stroke is caused by one of two things:

1. A blood clot blocking an artery feeding part of your brain

2. A blood vessel rupturing (aneurysm rupture) that causes pressure to build inside or against your brain, squeezing blood vessels shut like a pressure bandage.

Both of them cause a lack of oxygenated blood to the brain, and treating one type makes the other worse.

As an aside: the city I used to live in had an ambulance with a CAT scanner in it that would be dispatched to suspected strokes. They could diagnose whether it was 1 or 2 and treat it right away.

As to why arterial widening causes lacunar strokes, the article didn’t make it clear how or what small vessel disease is.

Gas exchange also doesn’t happen in your arteries or veins, but in your capillaries. Your capillaries are small enough to just barely fit a single red blood cell (the RBC often need to bend to fit through) and that close contact of RBC and capillary wall allows fast and near complete gas exchange. The tightness of a capillary is a feature, not a bug. So it could be that you don’t have consistent contact with the same RBC for long, and mostly are in contact with blood plasma?

One of the most important elements in successful revolutions is recruiting class traitors. They have the means to make it successful and work the establishment from the inside as well.
