    So how does one deal with transfusions in the wake of Clot Shot

    I should probably clarify what I meant by my earlier post about the blood supply being "fungible". The largest hospital in my city operates 4 air ambulances that can do transfusion mid-air (I don't live in a very big city). There are a million different places that need a constantly refreshed...

    These oil drains are all sold with pressure regulators which fail routinely. The regulator is removed, and the coupler is connected to the blow off valve...which fails routinely. See where this is going?

    So how does one deal with transfusions in the wake of Clot Shot

    Just had gall bladder removal. I was pleased that they could do it laparoscopically, as I wouldn't require a blood transfusion. In my AO they are always banging the drum for donations, citing serious shortage. If I had to guess, I would bet that blood banks treat donations as "fungible"; and...

    I'll have to rethink my mental model of how float bowls work.

    Had one too, pretty sure it weighed at least 600 lbs. Always swapped bikes with my poor friend who had a light Huffy.

    PJ, dryer lint, stuff it in an empty toilet paper tube. Feels like cheating.

    Best fire starter I use is vaseline and dryer lint.

    Gotta call crazy on that. Gigantic carburetor and nitrous on a straight 6? That has to be the long way home.

    "die already" isn't a good quote for a paramedic.

    I spent 30 years as a dealership tech. Guy next to me got a work order that stated the customer complaint was that when he drove in the rain, with the sunroof open, he got wet. This shit is real.

    Let's do these one at a time. If a motor is producing a rotational force, it is producing torque. This does not require rotation, it is a force. If you put a wrench on a nut and push, you are applying torque whether the nut moves or not. Thank you for admitting that inertia and kinetic energy...

    Electric motors make maximum torque at 0 rpm. Inertia isn't torque; what your stating in your example is kinetic energy.

    Shouldn't be a problem dialing those carbs in.

    Are all ugga duggas created equal?

    Y'all gonna roll your eyes but I gotta say this. 30 years running pneumatic impact wrenches and the tinnitus sounds like a tornado siren. Ingersol makes a series of quiet impact guns, worth a few extra. For 3/8 in. ditch the hose.

    Disclaimer: I'm not a metallurgist. So I will throw out my amateur opinion based on real life experience. It's either direction of impact or shock of impact, but when you drop something made of spring steel there is a good chance it will shatter in the near future under load. I don't know the...
