  • I am a medical expert. I’m not trying to be overly pedantic but my point was that regular sea level air is around 21% oxygen so you were making it sound like the air at high elevations is higher than it is at sea level.

    It’s not a wording issue. The link you posted has a table that says 100% O2 at sea level. Literally every single figure in the chart on that page is wrong because they list it as “%O2” instead of saying percent of baseline, which would be out of 21%. So at sea level you’re getting 100% of the normal oxygen in the air, which is 21%, and that declines, but the table is written incorrectly. It says that 8848 meters above sea level the content of air would be 33% oxygen. The table under that is more accurate.

    It’s just a bad table and bad writing. Idk if I’m explaining any of this properly.






  • I don’t consider myself stupid at all but being at a new job with poor training was discombobulating and really hurt my feelings. I was supposed to call someone to let them know something they should have known themselves and then they got irate about not being told and left a review the higher-ups got upset about and I was like damn, am I actually dumb?
