What is the lizard brain theory?

Our older "lizard brain" parts keep our bodies working and provide basic survival motivations, while our newer "mammal brain" regions improve our emotions and memory. Our "primate brain," with its large, wrinkly cortex, helps us plan, predict, and use language. All these regions work together.

6 Powerful Reptilian Brain Hacks to get More Control over ...
Greed and aggression are a few of the primal emotions of the reptilian brain. These are triggered by the prospect of gaining or losing money, power, or social status

Good to know. I thought it was some sort of internet terminology which I'm probably not keeping up with. Which is probably also likely.

I end up in a specific reddit area if I'm searching on some specific information in detail. But otherwise, don't use it, unless something links to it that I'm reading.

can you still get pagers?

In today's fast-paced healthcare environment, technology plays a crucial role in improving communication and streamlining processes. However, it may come as a surprise to learn that pagers are still prevalent in many hospitals, clinics, and medical facilities
__

Do pagers work without cell service?

Pagers are not dependent on e.g. mobile network or wi-fi, but have entirely their own communication channel. Pager systems are therefore a more reliable form of communication if, for example, wifi or phone network fails

People going to remote areas commonly carry satellite based device. Well, if they’re smart anyway.

I would dispute that pagers are more dependable. The pager systems have way fewer antennas and only one base station. If the base station goes down you are dead in the water.

For not standing under a tree in a thunderstorm, the explanation I've seen before is that a tree attracts lightning due to its height, but the tree itself is wood, a non-conductor. You, however, are pretty much just a column of saltwater, a conductor. Need I continue?

>>>

Why should you not stand under a tree during a thunderstorm accompanied by lightning?

Never Do These 11 Things During a Thunderstorm - Bob Vila
Standing under a tree in a thunderstorm is extremely dangerous. Due to their height, trees are likely to attract lightning as it makes its way to the ground. A human being, however, conducts electricity better than a tree does, so if you're near a tree, the lightning could easily jump from the tree to you.

__

If you are caught outside with no safe shelter nearby, the following actions might reduce your risk of being struck by lightning:

Immediately get off elevated areas such as hills, mountain ridges, or peaks.
Never lie flat on the ground. Crouch down in a ball-like position with your head tucked and hands over your ears so that you are down low with minimal contact with the ground.
Never shelter under an isolated tree. If you are in a forest, shelter near lower trees.
Never use a cliff or rocky overhang for shelter.
Immediately get out of and away from ponds, lakes, and other bodies of water.
Stay away from objects that conduct electricity (such as barbed wire fences, power lines, or windmills).
