I can't take him seriously anymore. The idea of a combusting engine running WOT at cruise, plus a few minutes of extra power by battery just isn't even near the ballpark of what makes sense, for the reasons I've stated. If you have enough extra power from the combusting engine to recharge the batteries, then You could just use that power to climb directly instead of losing energy in conversion, adding an entire second motor, prop, generator, etc. Now in cruise you're either burning extra fuel to charge the batteries, or you're running substantially less than WOT, both scenarios defeating the entire point of the idea And apparently I've contradicted myself by agreeing a magic free power boost with no engineering tradeoffs would be nice to have? That's an obvious troll, and I think he knows how absurd the whole idea is. The practicality of hybrid cars is debatable. Giving them the benefit of the doubt: What's practical on the ground is often not practical in the sky. Right, it wouldn't literally be a perpetual motion machine, but it's closer to that than it is to reality. The reason you think this idea makes sense is that you're falling for the same mental traps that lead people to chase perpetual motion. You want to convert energy forms multiple times without any understanding of the cost, and for no good reason because the power was perfectly usable in its original state in the combusting engine with propeller. If you come to understand this, I expect you will understand the analogy to perpetual motion. Generator-motor hybrid may be viable today for some applications--batteries are not required. I actually saw a pretty compelling presentation on this topic from a company developing such a power system and I've posted about it before. And no, Bill, I'm not contradicting myself by saying this.

And most of them failed. Most of these "blank check" efforts resulted in zero profit. You. Have. Absolutely. No. Idea. What. The. Fuck. You. Are. Talking. About. To such a degree that it's insulting to those who do. The funny thing about a pandemic response is that the better you do, the fewer people die. Somehow some people are mentally challenged in a particular way that makes them see this backwards. Congratulations for knowing what a cardiologist does--you get a gold star! Sadly, you don't seem to know what news is. They are coming. This is actually really exciting and shows a lot of promise in many areas including cancer treatment: https://molecular-cancer.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12943-021-01335-5 It literally just came out, have some patience lol This is actually really funny. Damn those single-celled organisms for not figuring out how to intelligently manipulate their own mRNA! You really are special.

Right--you seem unable to learn.

That doesn't support your claims. We've been over this.

According to what reference?

Are you trying to troll me?

I've never heard of it but it looks interesting. Thanks!

Depending on what you mean by "a tad", maybe. And you would lose all of the alleged advantages of this nonsense. Couldn't have said it better myself!

My agenda is that as a Medical Doctor, I actually understand all the words being used. I had no preconceptions one way or the other before seeing the evidence, which all supports the same conclusion.

Of course it won't--because it supports the same outcome all the other evidence supports

It's not even a coroners report--it's written notes that a third party wrote down after speaking with the medical examiner. It says it could have been ruled an overdose if the circumstances were different... in context with his report which clearly states the cause of death. The circumstances weren't different--they were what they were, and the cause of death was what it was!

You're falling into the same logical trap as the antivaxxers. Just like the vaccine, the vaccine passport doesn't have to be either 0% or 100% effective. The question is: Will it be effective enough to be a net benefit.

What doesn't matter? Why did you post the document here if it doesn't matter?

Yes, I have a plane with a Rotax 912ULS in it that has two different power ratings for max and max continuous. When I get to my destination, that max power is available for as many go-arounds as I need. I'm not cruising at WOT. I'm really not seeing the comparison here. 5 minutes at a time is completely different from 5 minutes total for the entire flight. I'm honestly confused why you're trying to present this comparison. Sure, who wouldn't a magic handle that gives you 30 seconds of extra power? Nobody would turn that down. All you have to do to sell that idea is ignore the tradeoffs you've made to provide that handle.

Okay I'll ask again: Why specifically do you feel this supports your opinion that Floyd's cause of death was an overdose? This document says it wasn't.

I'm both a computer engineer and a medical doctor, and I'm completely lost as to the connection you're trying to draw here.

So you think you understand more than you do. I guess we already knew that. Sadly, there is some truth to this. However, it's because curing disease is hard, not because people and companies don't want to invent cures. When people and companies are able to invent cures, they do. We have them for lots of things. Aside from the unicorns and pixie dust you don't believe exist, there is strong financial motivation to produce cures And also because of the decades-long research into mRNA vaccines intended for use in cancer treatment. I find it highly ironic that you don't understand this. Contrast. Almost as if it were a different disease and was being tackled with more primitive technology than we have today. Different situation, right?

Which of these 4 reports supports your opinion that Floyd's cause of death was an overdose, and why, specifically?

If you're asking me if it's plausible that pepper spray could have contributed to his death, I don't know. Sorry, I don't really have any additional insight.

That's more than anyone's opinion--that's a fact. I'm not familiar

It wasn't ignored--it was acknowledged and determined not to be the cause of death.

FYI heart failure and myocardial infarction are both proper medical terms that mean different things. Either or both could be listed as a cause of death. Myocardial infarction (MI) is the technical term for a heart attack, when you have a blockage in one or more of the arteries feeding the heart muscle. Heart failure means the heart is doing a poor job of pumping blood. One can lead to the other.

Two separate autopsies say Chauvin was directly responsible for Floyd's death. Full stop.

I disagree. As a medical doctor, let me help you interpret this: Cardiopulmonary arrest is simply another term for death. It doesn't have anything to do with heart failure. This says he died from law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression.
