I posted a list of them a while ago. For several years I was interested in alternative worldviews -- grand sweeping theories of reality. Here's my list: http://ribbonfarm.com https://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Sequences http://thearchdruidreport.blogspot.co.uk/ http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.co.uk/ http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/ https://meaningness.com/ http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/ Enjoy :)
Browsing medical diagnosis codes... https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/ICD10/2016-ICD-10-CM-and... Some of the most mildly interesting: V9543XD Spacecraft collision injuring occupant, subsequent encounter W5602XD Struck by dolphin, subsequent encounter X35XXXD Volcanic eruption, subsequent encounter X52XXXD Prolonged stay in weightless environment, subsequent encounter Y0881XD Assault by crashing of aircraft, subseq…

Medical diagnosis codes are all about reimbursement. Doctors do not rely on coding so much as finance dept relies on coding. Proper coding means more $$, so talented dx coders are valuable. Separating the code this way may not make sense medically, but it makes a lot more sense when you realize CMS or Blue Cross wants more coded granularity for automatic transmission of accurate financial information.
What does this have to do with anything? Is it just to inject a bit of cynicism? Because while there's certainly a lot to be gained by a bit of creativity with the coding, the first/subsequent encounter distinction is ill-suited, considering these are binary categories, and any mistakes/attempts to defraud can detected with an sQL query shorter than this paragraph. Concerning the original question: it's basically den…
Not trying to be cynical, just trying to offer a view into the requirements set before me.

I don't even... why in the world would it be important for a doctor to differentiate being struck by a dolphin or struck by orca (side note: orcas are dolphins!).
The only semi-plausible explanation is some weird insurance plan crafted for sea-world (et-al) staff. Neither Orcas nor (other) Dolphins were ever recorded to attack human beings out of captivity anyhow.

My current rabbit hole has been the world building stack exchange ( http://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/ ) which is (ostensibly) for writers working out scientific or historical justifications for the worlds they invent. Some of the thought that goes into answers is really cool. Good ones from recently are: - http://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/59175/what-... - http://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/q…

Glaring omission of http://blog.jim.com , if you want to go down the rabbit hole of stylistically coherent & pithy, well though out, right-wing philosophizing.

What a revolting sweaty pit of misogyny. > "In general female behavior is not explicable in terms of rational pursuit of goals, but as innate reactions to stimuli."
San Diego Air & Space museum archives. Currently they have a quarter million photos there and they're uploading new ones constantly. They have received a huge number of collections from very interesting people. Where else can you see original photos of Glenn Curtiss' first airplane, crashed zeppelin skeletons from World War I and hyper advanced Convair Centaur rocket stage manufacturing? Fascinating people in the photos too.
