  • Pulse oximeter devices routinely overestimate blood oxygen levels in Black patients

    Jump

  • This is the definition of "systemic rascism". These devices are the standard in hospitals and medical offices. They work optically, nobody bothered to check if the amount of melanin in skin affects them. Its likely that they were either tested entirely on light skinned people, or that the results for black test subjects were ignored or discarded as outliers. Nobody set out to make a device that might put black patients in danger, but nobody bothered to make sure it didn't.

  • You know we have this thing called IMDB. It could really fill in your gaps in this situation.

  • For Americans who still use cash, what's the highest bill denomination you commonly use?

  • You see human beings have this problem, they tend to die without food or when forced to live out in the elements. And dont get me started on clothing and healthcare.

  • Rogue One is great, but Andor is even better

  • More about the fact that they hate Star Wars and are here in a star wars community just to complain about it.

  • In the US, why doesn't a personal savings account make more sense than health insurance?

    Jump

  • Yeah I know, but the situation is absurd.

  • Just checking, because you're in a Star Wars community. If you've really soured so much on Star Wars it might be time to unsubscribe, unless you're seeking negativity for negativities sake.

  • I love that its still going and telling stories, but an incredibly grindy free to play game is a tough sell for a lot of people.

    Can I replace Lead-Acid batteries with LiFePo4 or equivalent in my UPS?

    Jump

  • There are lifepo4 batteries that are drop in replacements for SLA car batteries. But there's no guarantee that the more sophisticated circuitry in the UPS will accept it. (I'm not exactly sure what they're using to make it a drop in replacement.) I would look to see if others have succeeded online. That kind of swap is something people would be posting all over YouTube if it works.

  • Weird how that works

    Jump

  • And if that was the main concern we would be incentivizing people building out their own solar with battery setups, but the plebs paying less for energy isn't the goal.

    I think the main thing you are missing about OPs post is that when it came to reducing costs for consumers, pollution, and greenhouse gasses, building out infrastructure for electric cars wasn't a priority and was vehemently fought. Now that its about making a bunch of billionaires 5% wealthier, there is nothing that will stop the build out. Energy infrastructure is now a major priority and this time at the expense of consumers.
