ok wait someone said a bit ago (i have long lost track of who where and when) that they thought oscar got super difficult a-levels (math, cs, & physics) in part bc of covid (bc they just put your predicted grade as your grade, iirc, and exams line up real funky with racing normally making it super difficult to do them. or something along those lines). but he's almost exactly my age and covid interrupted my first year of university, rather than my last year of high school? so that didn't make sense to me, and at first i thought oh maybe in the uk ages/birthdays line up differently, who knows, i am but a silly american. BUT this says he finished school in 2019.
so he got those a-levels like. regularly. no covid mess or anything, just sheer will power and ~30% attendance. much to think about!

As we know, Dash Haber arrives an hour earlier than expected to Team Red’s hotel room because of time difference and his watch.
Fun fact : Moscow has two hours on Amsterdam, not one. This bitch was not thinking of getting to his appointment right on time, he was showing up an entire hour late

Life at a vile boarding school is in this way a good preparation for the Christian life, that it teaches one to live by hope. Even, in a sense,  by faith; for at the beginning of each term, home and the holidays are  so far off that it is as hard to realise them as it is to realise  heaven.
- C.S. Lewis
My first day at my English girls’ boarding school resulted in another girl pinching my chocolate bon bons packed as a parting gift from my mother. Boarding school forces you to grow up sooner rather than later if one was to survive.

To give Zack a bit of credit:
yeah, this caper going off schedule is his fault cuz he made a dumb mistake. But he gets his act together!
Tumblr media
[image description: A screenshot taken from the Netflix reboot of Carmen Sandiego. Zack is sitting at a dinner table, an assortment of fancy dishes in front of him. He is holding up one of the forks in one hand. His other arm is propped up on the table, his head resting on his hand. He has an extremely bored expression on his face. /End description]
At first, he's really not taking Carmen's training seriously. He's clearly bored, having to learn all this stuff, and he doesnt appreciate the history of what he's learning at all.
Tumblr media
[image description: A screenshot taken from the Netflix reboot of Carmen Sandiego. Zack is walking by a window, holding two different forks in his hands. He is speaking happily. /End description]
But as the night goes on, he gets more serious about it. He learns! And if I were writing it, I think I'd love to have Zack become more appreciative of art and history by the end of this caper. It could have been a really cool way to add growth to his character- and frankly avoid some of his more stupid moments later on in the show.

Nothing in my day-to-day job shows me the limits of modern medicine like vancomycin does. And it makes me insane.
(extremely long, somewhat incoherent nerd rant below the cut)
See, vanc is really good at, like, three things: treating MRSA (when given IV), treating ampicillin-resistant enterococcus (when given IV), and treating c diff (when administered orally ONLY). Most every use outside of that, like when it’s used to treat methicillin-susceptible staph aureus for “penicillin allergic patients” (don’t get me started on PCN allergies), actually has data that it increases risk of morbidity and mortality (i.e. harm and DEATH).
Unfortunately, due to the prevalence of multi-drug resistant organisms, vancomycin is empiric therapy for a lot of presumed infections. And it's a lot more difficult to actually tell if someone has an infection than you'd think. A lot of medical conditions imitate each other and when time is of the essence to identify what's going on, the most ethical thing is to start an antibiotic and rule out infection as the hospitalization continues. Lab techniques have gotten a lot quicker: I can remember 8 years ago, it would take 3 days just to identify what microbe the patient had in their presumed infection. These days, anno domini 2023, PCR comes back in a matter of hours, identifying gram positive/gram negative staph/strep/bacilli/etc, and it's the sensitivities that take 2-3 days. (Don't get me started on contaminated cultures.) But even with improvements in lab technique, we might not culture any microbe at all or the provider might keep vancomycin on "just in case" because we don't know IF the patient is infected, WHAT they're infected with, or if the infection will get better with a different drug.
And vancomycin is terrible on kidneys. Extremely nephrotoxic. It isn’t as bad as the 80s when the drug first came out and was called Mississippi Mud colloquially, but it will fuck the patient up if not monitored closely.
But finding the correct dose for each patient in a timely manner is nigh impossible. This is because vancomycin is renally eliminated. We have to mathematically estimate how well the kidneys are working. Unfortunately, our mathematic equation is next to useless if you are:
-Less than 50 kg
-Shorter than 5 foot tall
-Have a BMI of more than 40
-Are an adult younger than 45 (twenty-year-olds get astronomical doses that would be destructive in an older patient)
-Are older than 65 (the official definition of 'geriatric', i'm relatively sure)
-Are female (this is really only applicable if the patient is less than 50 kg or older than 65 - think: little old frail lady - we have absolutely no fucking idea how their kidneys are doing until we order the serum drug level. It is next to impossible to accurately dose vancomycin in little old ladies on the first try.)
-Are missing limbs (lots of leg amputations in the older and impoverished diabetic population!!)
-Have a lot of muscle mass (think bodybuilder or really tall guys)
Fun fact: we estimate renal function by looking at height, weight, age, birth gender (few, if any, studies on trans patients taking HRT), and a lab value called serum creatinine. Creatinine is a byproduct of muscle metabolism, I don't know the fine details, but we can generally estimate how well kidneys are working by seeing how much creatinine is in the blood: low creatinine usually means kidneys are excreting it as they 'should' be. High creatinine means there's something wrong, the kidneys aren't able to excrete it as efficiently as they 'should' be. But the effect of low muscle mass and high muscle mass haven't been studied enough to be able to adjust our mathematical equation to compensate for them. And with high BMI: we often overestimate their renal function because we don't know how to estimate their muscle mass vs their body fat.
(I work out in the boonies. ~70% of our patients have diabetes. ~80% of our patients have a BMI of greater than 35. So what I'm trying to say here is: we are shooting in the fucking dark when we're estimating the renal function of the vast majority of our patients.)
Complicating this: vancomycin is useless until it reaches steady-state concentration in therapeutic range. On one side of this problem: a lot, if not most, medical providers assume that vancomycin starts working its magic from the first dose. So we sometimes get orders for "vancomycin 1 gram now and see how the patient is doing in the morning". That isn't going to solve jack shit! That's just going to increase the incidence of microbial resistance!!
OR, like in the multiple situations I dealt with this afternoon, you make an educated guess on what regimen is going to work for the patient. You get a level 48 hours after the dose starts. And you find out that you fucking guessed wrong and the patient is subtherapeutic. It has been two fucking days and the patient hasn't started being treated for their (presumed) infection yet!! And we've increased the possibility of microbial resistance! *muffled screaming in frustration*
So what I'm trying to say here is: on almost every presumed infection that comes into the hospital (which we're guessing like 30%? 50%? of the time), we're starting an extremely toxic drug, oftentimes 100% guessing what regimen will be therapeutic, only finding out in 2 days that it is not therapeutic, and it can sometimes take days and days to titrate the dose sufficiently to find a therapeutic regimen. And sometimes we're really fucking unlucky and we destroy the patient's kidneys temporarily (or permanently! but kidneys can be very resilient so that's thankfully rare) because we guessed a regimen that's too high!! This is a fucking nightmare!!!!!!!!
And if all of this wasn't bad enough, we don't really have any drugs that do what vancomycin does therapeutically. We have things that can be used to cover some of what vancomycin does, but nothing that's equivalent AND less toxic.
Like, to fix this situation, we need:
-Better education to providers on what drugs are appropriate empiric therapy for different presumed infections (we're working on it, we are working on it)
-Better ways to estimate kidney function (there needs to be more research on kidney function in patients with BMI greater than 35!! And little old ladies!! And patients with low body weight and high body weight and amputations and...)
-Better prognostic tools to tell 1. when the patient is infected (looking at you, sepsis!!!) 2. what they're infected with
-Less-toxic antibiotics AND/OR better ways to treat infection (this would be the evolution of medicine as we know it)
And I want to be clear: vancomycin isn't bad. It's an extremely effective tool when used correctly but we often either don't have enough data to use it correctly or the provider doesn't understand that this tool is fucking useless for the job they're trying to perform.

These days whenever ppl start recommending anything by the “productivity” gurus, my brain just shuts itself off.
On one hand, I am all for ppl using techniques that keep them moving forward, especially when they can tailor certain techniques to meet their own needs, lifestyles, brain wirings, etc. That is just learning how to be an effective human being.
My problem is all the (tech/finance/huckster) bro speak and this weirdly inhumane mindset that everyone must “hack” their efficiency to reach effectiveness, turned up to eleventy eleven, while acting like (or treating others like) a mechanical robot.
I find this shit exhausting as all fuck and it often misses the point entirely.
Currently looking for a good take down of Cal Newport so I don’t need to do it myself bc I cannot be fussed to read the fucking books but his damn name keeps being brought up and … ugh.
I don’t think Newport even understands what deep work is and what it’s role actually is (and why u don’t want deep work all the time) but ugh, I just cannot be fussed to tease out his nonsense.

Is CS a better option after BBA?
Whether a Company Secretary (CS) course is a better option after a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree depends on several factors, including your career goals, interests, and the job market demand for each type of degree.
BBA + CS: A BBA degree provides a broad-based education in business and management, including subjects such as marketing, finance, and human resource management. Adding a CS course to your BBA degree can help you develop specialized knowledge and skills in the area of company law and secretarial practice. This combination of education and training can be valuable for students who are interested in pursuing a career in corporate law, company secretarial practice, or compliance management.
The CS course is a professional course that is recognized globally and is conducted by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI). It covers various aspects of company law, secretarial practice, and compliance management, and is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of these subjects. Upon completion of the CS course, students are awarded the CS designation, which is a highly regarded professional designation in the corporate sector.
One of the main advantages of pursuing a CS course after a BBA is that it provides students with a deeper understanding of company law and secretarial practice. A BBA program provides a broad-based education in business and management, while a CS program focuses on company law and secretarial practice. This combination of knowledge and skills can be extremely valuable for anyone looking to build a career in the corporate sector.
Additionally, having a CS designation can open up many career opportunities in a variety of industries, including law firms, consulting firms, and corporate companies. CS professionals are in high demand due to their expertise in company law, secretarial practice, and compliance management, and they are often sought after by companies looking for corporate lawyers or compliance officers.
It is important to note that pursuing a CS course is a long-term commitment that requires hard work and dedication. The CS course is rigorous and requires students to pass multiple exams over several years. In addition, students must also complete practical training in the form of articleship, where they gain hands-on experience in a real-world corporate environment.
In conclusion, if you have a strong interest in company law, secretarial practice, and compliance management, and are looking to build a career in these fields, pursuing a CS course after a BBA can be a valuable investment. A BBA degree provides a broad-based education in business and management, while a CS program provides a more focused education in company law and secretarial practice. With the right combination of education, experience, and dedication, a CS can help you achieve your career goals and provide you with a rewarding and fulfilling career in the corporate sector.
However, it is important to consider the job market demand for each type of degree and carefully research your options before making a decision. It is also worth exploring other options and considering your long-term career goals to determine the best path for you.

Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world. - C.S. Lewis
When people ban books because children aren’t “ready” for the themes, topics, or “propaganda”, it is the most undermining thing to an education. It is admitting the pain of this world is so much, that you would rather have your child wander around hindered- becoming a trail of blind men leading the blind. To even further add insult to injury, it’s admitting Jesus as a source of truth can easily be over turned.
Justine the Martyr argues in his apologies anyone who uses reason is actually using the facilities God gave them and are engaging with the supernatural. Jesus is literally reason Incarnate, he’s described so by the Greek word “Logos”. To Justin, Socrates was using his reason so well, he was basically a Christian in his mind.
Socrates would purposely walk around, start controversial conversations cause he knew that the truth was worth arousing in people, and in Plato’s dialogues he was killed for making people “not worship the gods.” Like he would go to parties, symposiums, and sit on the market place and just talk to people about everything. In Symposium he hears some of the most crazy ideas about love that it would get banned because of Aristophanes take alone.
So conservatives who constantly ban books because they get in the way of “Christian values” are really killing the senses that make us realize the pain and injustice we are really called to be awake for-we become drunk on our own salvation and fall asleep next to our nice jar of oil waiting for the groom to show up.

Are there any other Jason Ritter fans out there? I've recently become obsessed with him; I've stalked his entire filmography and watched everything I could find—some things more than once—and now I've run out, and I have absolutely no one to squeal about him with. It depresses me that no one else seems to be talking about and appreciating this amazing and talented man. So if there are any other Jason Ritter fans out there please just say hi and let me know that I'm not alone. ^.^',
