Also we just use anterior/posterior for the organism if you want to ignore the bend and talk about the face and chest vs the back and back of the head. All the other planes are ok.
Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.

Agreed. These are genuinely difficult problems that aren’t going to get solved by our current crop of silicon valley “geniuses”.
Is the same. We’d call it the horizontal plane though. Dorsal takes a bend so it’s the top of the head and the back. Sagittal sections move medial/lateral and coronal sections move rostral/caudal again taking a bend down the neuraxis of the spine.
Dorsal plane still doesn’t make sense to me as dorsal/ventral are the directions in the plane. In the same way it wouldn’t make sense to describe something as the lateral plane if the directions are medial/lateral. But as I said I’m a brain guy.
The figures I’m looking at call the dorsal plane “frontal” which at last makes sense. Dorsal and ventral would be their regular directions in the frontal plane. I’m a brain guy so I normally only deal with the things in the neuraxis.
Why is the coronal section labeled “transverse” and the horizontal section labeled “dorsal”? That is some batshit fucking wrongness there.
CRISPR is the closest we get It might be the honorary winner since it was wasn’t fully exploited until the 21st century, even though it was cloned and being used in the 90s.
We had a 3d printer in the 90s at my Uni. It built layers with laser cut paper lol. It was the cheapest version available and it lived in the engineering department for rapid prototyping. This link says they were invented in 1981, metal sintering was added in 1988 and fused filament in 1989. https://ultimaker.com/learn/the-complete-history-of-3d-printing
You’re not wrong. But there are counter examples. I was going to use the example of the jet engine in my last answer as a true paradigm shifting development that had immediate impact. And in the mid-century period too! Or the first powered flight occurred in the first decade of the 20th century and had an immediate impact. The transistor and solid state electronics would be another example.
So let me flip it around and say we’ve had a quarter century without a major technological breakthrough. There’s been progress, but it feels incremental. I spent a night with a physicist a few years ago who was arguing that progress is slowing because we are still relying on the exploitation of Newtonian physics. There are a few technologies that have made the leap to nuclear physics. But we’ve had the basics of quantum physics for a century now and haven’t been able to exploit it in a useful fashion.
OLEDs were built in 1987 I saw my first VR demonstration in the 90s (and it wasn’t cutting edge then). I saw my first AR demonstration then as well as part of an undergraduate engineering fair. And so on. I just looked up maglev trains - in commercial use since 1984.
I don’t disagree that there hasn’t been refinements, improvements, or commercialization of technology, but there hasn’t been a technological leap or invention that I can think of in the 21st century.
I’m genuinely not sure that anything has been invented in the 21st century.
Detachable penis if you’ve never heard the song.
But we had Dick Nixon, Dick Cavett, and Dick van Dyke during that period.And lots more. So I don’t think that’s it.
Penis is derived from the Latin for “tail”. As penis came to mean schlong over time, Latin switched to cauda. Dick only became a euphemism for the fuckstick in the 1980s. Why? I have no idea. But other proper names are/have been used including “Peter”, “Johnson”, and “John Thomas” that I can think of off the top of my head.
This method is still superior to Heimlich. But its difficult to execute under most circumstances.
OP misunderstood Kuhn maybe.
It’s a stupid meta-joke. The video is how to turn color illustrations into a moody B&W.
Correct. His latex wings melted and he plunged into the taint.
It’s…beautiful. Sniff.
