When I was giving birth to my son and the pain finally got too much for me to deal with, I was put on a Demerol drip.
Well! As a teen, Iād taken Valiums of varying strength (5-10 g, more than 1 at a time), drank all manner of alcohol, downed mescaline, smoked lots of pot, took speed pills, accidentally snorted five lines of angel dust (I was told it was crystal thc) - but Iād never felt anything like that before! And I knew folks who were addicted to Diludids. I was a little late for Quaaludes though.
Now that Iām older and getting creakier - if Iād known Iād make to 58, Iādāve taken better care of myself, lol - I do take OTC painkillers, but I tend to build up a resistance to them. So itās only when itās really bad will I take any. Plus, the idea of all that paste that they make the pills out ofā¦ewyuck.

Black holes were theorized to sometimes spin on an axis. This is the first time this has ever been actually observed. The team could image the jet flowing out of the black hole, and see how the jet precessed over the last few years due to it spinning.
Hereās an image I put together from the image in Nature:
You can see the wobble of the direction of the jet. Itās like how a top or dreidel wobbles around as it spins.

Apparently, when the Hittites performed certain religious rituals, they performed them in the original language. And their descriptions of these rituals are a major source for the surrounding languages, especially Luwian, but apparently now also including Kaskian.

After the usual preliminary remarks and thanks, Vernon opted to forego āserious and heavyā commentary for the following revelation:
There is a species of water beetle that regularly gets swallowed whole by frogs. And while thereās a lot of things you can do to keep from being eaten, once youāre inside a frog, your options are severely limited. Generally you get digested. But this particular species of beetle said āYou know, I bet thereās another way.ā And it started walking. In fact, it walked through the frogās digestive tract and out the back end.
This is 100 percent true, you can look it up.
R. attenuataās survival rate was a whopping 93 percent. In fact, ā19 out of 20 of these beetles will simply walk out of the frog, unharmed,ā Vernon noted. āIt usually takes them about an hour, although one beetle speed-ran the frog in five minutes, which Iām sure was very exciting for the frog.ā
The moral of this story, if there is one, is that no matter how dark the situation, there is always a way through. And thereās always a light at the end of the frog.

The doctors found that from 2014 to 2022, the yearly total of situs inversus cases was typically about five to six per 10,000 pregnant people undergoing ultrasounds. But, in 2023, the rate jumped to nearly 24 cases per 10,000 ultrasound screenings.
Looking at the 2023 cases by month, the researchers noted that the surge in situs inversus began in April and continued to June before returning to background rates in July. In all, there were 56 cases of situs inversus between January and July of 2023 among 23,746 pregnant people undergoing ultrasounds.
