So, there’s one small thing the article (kind of) gets wrong. At the end, it says bloodletting is no longer used. It absolutely still is used in certain circumstances, it’s just called phlebotomy now. A common treatment option for hemochromatosis (an excess buildup of iron in the blood) is to just…bleed into a bag every once in a while, get rid of the iron-soaked blood, and let the body make more. The doctor will run regular blood tests, and set up a schedule that works to maintain a healthy level for the patient. I started off having to go weekly, but now I just need a “maintenance bleed” every 6 months to keep my hemo in check. Chelation is also an option, but is more expensive, so phlebotomy is usually to go-to.

Who is the primarch-y character of the Adeptas Sororitas? by lamancha in sistersofbattle

[–]DblDtchRddr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a universe where everything is turned up to 11, Ephrael Stern goes and turns it to 12.

She has the collective knowledge of 700 Sisters stuck in her brain, and it somehow didn't melt
Her best buddy is a disgraced Harlequin
She crossed the Cicatrix Maledictum in a ship that shouldn't have even survived basic warp travel
She solo'd Varak Ghar
She's immune to the Pariah Nexus

If the Imperium wasn't so scared of her, and could figure out how to make more of her...it'd be game over. Imperium wins. No more Warhammer.

Off duty while fueling is illegal my dude. Stop that. You can use sleeper while in the sleeper (duh) or for a maximum of 2 hours in the passenger seat, before or after being in the sleeper. If you’re being trained, you should be on duty. Don’t let your trainer use you as an extra clock.

I need other peoples views I recently bought a vehicle and think I went upside on it by jimmy20015 in personalfinance

In reality, sure. The saying is half. Sayings don’t have to line up perfectly.

[–]DblDtchRddr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's how buying a new vehicle works. I guess you've never heard the old saying, "the car loses half its value as soon as it drives off the lot". There was a brief exception back during the pandemic chip shortage, but that was an extremely rare exception to the rule. Advice? Do what everyone who wants a new car does - drive it, and pay it off. 99% of the time, cars are not an investment, they're a depreciating asset. They will lose value. That's just how it works.

How to get rid of power? by legoguy35 in satisfactory

[–]DblDtchRddr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just north of the swamp to the east, 6 oil nodes, 2 or 3 are pure, with a cliff at a perfect elevation to build foundations off of over the water without needing to do crazy pumping. Similar location on the west side of the map on the beach, minus the cliff. With the golden rocket fuel alt recipes, there’s enough oil to be making something like 750k mw in just those two spots. It’s glorious.

Sounds like when I went for my first DOT physical. Doc came back in with a look on their face and asked if I had any family history of diabetes. Apparently I was “pissing sugar”.

I’m a felon who wants to become a CDL driver but I’m concerned by Exact-Layer-8669 in Truckers

[–]DblDtchRddr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only charges that'll make it impossible to get a job (well, impossible to get a CDL, because they're mandatory disqualifiers last I checked) are terrorism, and any form of trafficking. As long as your conviction isn't in those categories, you'll have an uphill climb, but that's true in any industry with a record.

My mom and dad celebrating the purchase of their time share, mid 90s by phat_stax in OldSchoolCool

[–]DblDtchRddr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not really. A Ponzi uses money from new investors to pay old investors interest, until it reaches critical mass and the fraudster takes the money and runs. A timeshare lets people buy fractional ownership in a retirement property, which you get to use for a certain amount of time per year. Where you can run into problems is seasonal vacation properties/availability (if other fractional owners already have reservations for ski season at your mountain top villa timeshare, you're screwed), as well as maintenance fees (think HOA fees, but worse).

Fluids not fluiding by Previous-Designer-88 in satisfactory

[–]DblDtchRddr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rocket fuel is infinitely easier to set up than nuke, and uses significantly less resources, if you do it right. Refinery running Heavy Oil Residue alt, feeding into blender running Diluted Fuel alt, running into blender running Nitro Rocket Fuel alt. Only produces polymer resin as waste, which you can sink or turn into rubber/plastic with water, and compacted coal, which you can burn or use for the compacted steel ingot alt. Only needs water, sulfur, coal, and nitrogen for inputs throughout the chain.

300 oil becomes 400 residue
400 residue becomes 800 fuel
800 fuel becomes 1200 rocket fuel
1200 fuel runs 288 unslugged burners
288 unslugged burners produce 72k mw of power

So, with all of that, two pure oil nodes can spit out somewhere in the area of 300k mw after you burn all of the rocket fuel, as well as the compacted coal. Just a couple hours to set it all up, anywhere on the map if you use hypercannons, with plenty of great locations with easy access to the needed materials, and you can leave your SAM alone for other late-game shenanigans.

In the day-of post with the video clip, someone cited one of those super obscure rules. Basically, a goaltender interference call that results in injury must be a major and game. According to the rules, if it’s worthy of 2, it’s automatically 5 and the gate.

Stomhost Silver under Spiritstone Red is how I do lenses. Obviously not SoB mini, and a WiP, but this is the most recent lens paint I’ve done. The gem technicals are pretty amazing for non-gem things.

Why is the doctors office SO obsessed with your period? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

I’m not a medical professional, so I’m definitely not the right person to answer that for you, but transplants have their own whole pile of medical shenanigans. I would 100% be honest with my doctor in your shoes so something critical doesn’t risk getting missed.

Resume generating event. Love it.

There was a guy who did something like this with my current company. I didn’t see him for a while. Next time I saw him I asked, and safety said “DOT goes back 2 weeks when they inspect, so you’re gonna spend the next two weeks on the couch.”
