The "Making-sure-children-don't-see-genitals Police."

[Frumple]

Complete with neck braces and scooping tongs for those benighted souls that can't stop themselves from looking down. Also sledgehammers for breaking ancient grecian statues The tools of the anti-dong police are many, varied, and largely in violation of both good sense and the geneva convention.

When I eat too many baby carrots I get nauseous.  Not sure if it's only carrots, I just love the crunch so much I binge eat them.
What's up with the nausea?

It is just low calorie foods and vegetables in general. The Nausia I "Think" is because carrots are hard on your digestive system.

Side note: I saw the doctor and she prescribed me antibiotics and said I did the right thing...

I was worried I'd get antibiotics for no good reason >_<

Ok here is a question:

In Jurassic World some of the workers had heart monitors that basically sent back their vitals to HQ... (It was the coolest thing in the movie... or rather the only cool thing )

Is that a thing that people actually use? because it seems like a great invention for soldiers for example.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Nothing about it is technically impossible, but it's kind of impractical and useless. Extra equipment is always a burden that needs to be justified, and somebody sprinting around looks a lot like somebody dying in agony on a heart monitor.

Once we have better implant systems it might become a thing in some professions.

[Arx]

Yeah, the problem is that the difference between 'dying a horrible death' and 'your crush flirting with you causing you to trip on a rock and smash your heart monitor' (possibly after they break your heart) is, as far as HQ can tell, nonexistent.

[Calidovi]

Maybe if you couple it with bodycams, it'll make more sense, but that's even more stuff to carry around and maintain.

... we have wifi enabled pacemakers, now. Maybe not the most useful military device, but it's totes good stuff for medical monitoring. Pretty sure there's some external stuff with similar functionality.

Ok... uhhh here is a medical question

So I woke up today after sleeping on my side (infected ear side up because it hurts too much to sleep on it even with the pillow)... And when I sat up a liquid fell out... It was a clear liquid that smelt vaguely like wax.

Did my ear drum burst? and should I immediately report this to the doctor?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Can you still hear, and are you in constant excruciating pain? If the answers are yes and no respectively, your ear drum is probably fine.

As for going to a doctor, idk.

Yes and no.

And I saw a doctor, I was just wondering if I should call and update my doctor.

The only other thing is my Uvula is swollen... but that might be because I slept with my mouth open. (My infection is spreading... and might be turning into tonsillitis... yaaay -_-)

[Arx]

Is your ear in less pain than before, and is there significant swelling? It sounds like the infection receded overnight allowing trapped liquid to escape, which is a very good thing. As MSH said, if you can hear fine and aren't in (more) pain, your eardrum's probably good. They don't burst at the drop of a hat, and it's not the kind of thing you miss happening.

The heart monitors are a plot peice or roman chorus, and having cameras showing why their hearts are beating is redundant.
Its for the audience to understand the position the characters are in.
In reality its only good for medical reasons, torture, liars.
In combat its just a pointless stat.
Ive never seen the movie but I cant see the point in a heart monitor.. maybe to get metadata over the parks exciting parts?

[Neonivek]

It sees if they are dead or not.
