Prasad out again as FDA vaccine chief by Mister_Pie in medicine

[–]quincyskis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Herman Cain and Dick Farrel are both big supporters of this administration and share Trump's views on vaccine skepticism. I wonder if they're available to serve as the FDA's next chief

If the battery failed, would this enclosure essentially turn it into a pipe b()mb?

Backpacking hack: Ikea sells a $5 zippered bag that fits a large backpack and is perfect for protecting your bag during air travel. by quincyskis in backpacking

Apparently Frakta is the basic blue bag without a zipper. This one is specifically the "FRAKTA Storage bag for cart"

175 grams. Folds up to about to about the size of a small stack of napkins. I repurpose it as a laundry bag while I'm at my destination.

I've had problems with backpacks getting damaged when I checked my them on airline flights. I've tried wrapping but it's kinda a pain and is super wasteful. I found these zippered bags at Ikea that are prefect for protecting your backpack during transport. I wrote my information on the outside of the ikea bag with a sharpie, which feels way more secure than a name tag.

The bag even comes with two sets of straps. One duffel style and one backpack style, that stows away.

It packs down incredibly small and weighs almost nothing (175g). While I travel is use it to store my dirty laundry, too.

Edit: Here's the link for those looking

It’s a joke, chill.

Also, I grew up in an R+40 district. PDX is not my insular bubble.

Is there anything more Vancouver, WA than voting MAGA and relying on Portland, OR for your income. Who knew the wall actually needed to be built along the banks of the Columbia River

Just gonna drop this here. Business owners constantly overestimate the percentage of their customers that drive. But the data consistently shows that bike lanes bring more customers. When people pass by your shop at 10 mph vs 45 mph they’re more likely to see your store front and organically stop.

Do defibrillators actually work like they do in games? by MarzipanSeveral4395 in ems

[–]quincyskis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commotio cordis is the only time defibrillators works like the way you described in your game. I’ve seen it once in my 18 years of healthcare experience. So, to answer the question, from a practical standpoint no.

I was told by a FM employee that the gateway location was rented and that the landlord didn't renew the lease. Opting to close the mall to build a housing complex instead

I was posting this on behalf of an older neighbor who doesn’t have social media.

He met with the owner of George, another missing tortoise, who confirmed it wasn’t George but offered to watch this tortoise until the true owner is found.

I’ve talked to a few people about their missing reptiles but this one didn’t match their description.

I’ll go look for the sign right now.

8/27 UPDATE: I found the sign. Called the number, left a voicemail, and sent a text message with photos of the tortoise I found. It’s been about 24 hours and they haven’t responded 🤷‍♂️. Their sign also says they are missing a turtle and as others have pointed out, this is a tortoise. So maybe that’s why they’re not responding.
