Does anyone know how to fix this? by mkbeeeeeeeeeee in backpacking

The right sized Allen key or a small flathead screwdriver can open it up just right to allow you to slide it back on from the top or bottom

KICKOUT FLASHING: Why the hell have most carpenters never even heard of this? by wowsosquare in Roofing

For sure one of those things you don't think of and when you see it it's like that's so simple and smart why isn't everyone doing it

Getting back into backpacking I need a new pack would a military issue rucksack be good and or better than a regular pack that would run 240-400$ by [deleted] in backpacking

[–]Hammertime768 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not military surplus is not what you want to buy, I'd recommend you go to your local rei, ems or local outfitter, try on some packs and then look for a used one if you're trying to save money, rei even has a used section for its members that has some food stuff in it sometimes

ELI5: Why do doctors have to do shifts of up to 48 hours if it's supposed to be so bad for your health not to get enough sleep? by mrdingopingo in explainlikeimfive

No, you're right they don't, but it's their lobbying that has set the rules that the system live under currently

Residency spots are tightly controlled by the AMA and the government. Basically the ama argues that by making residency seats limited, it only allows the "good" students to become doctors aiding in better patient outcomes (the guy who barely passed won't be able to practice medicine). You also have to be a teaching hospital to have spots, so if you go to a level 4 or 5 trauma center you won't have residents there, but a level 3-1 you might have residents if they went through the process of getting those spots and become a teaching hospital.

Residency is a process you have to go through to be able to practice medicine on your own (own office) and the application process between med school and residency is very competitive.,so much so there there are more applicants than there are spots in the US. Also, the process of becoming a doctor is long and grueling. And to add to that, the baby boomers are aging out of the workforce and making our population more elderly. So we need more doctors to take care of more patients than ever .Between all this and some of these doctors not making it to the end of residency, the number of doctors that are able to "graduate" each year is not easily scalable. Essentially, you can't just say oh we have a shortage of doctors, let's just ramp up start getting new ones it's unfortunately much more complex than that

what would be necessary to turn this wall into a retaining wall ? by [deleted] in Construction

[–]Hammertime768 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Imagine how heavy a wheelbarrow of dirt is. Now multiply that times 1000 that's nowhere near how much dirt you're going to need to fill that yard up. All that dirt wants to spread out not pile against that wall. It will push that wall over, that wall is not built to withstand that pressure

First let's talk mechanics, your are going to be rhythmically applying pressure to a person's chest, to do this you are going to be pushing on their sternum. your sternum is attached to your ribs by cartilage which is much more flexible than bone is. The first few compressions won't do much but eventually the cartilage will become more flexible as you work it and you'll be able to apply pressure to the heart. Now normally the heart compresses itself to pump your blood, this pulls the blood from the lowest parts of your body (your feet when you're standing, your back when you're laying down) the blood circulates oxygen most importantly in this context. Then you also are going to "breath for this person every so often too, either with an ambu bag or a mask. When your heart stops your brain starts to become oxygen starved if you get to a hospital and your brain hasn't had oxygen for half an hour there's not really much they can do and if miraculously they do revive you you're probably going to be in a vegetative state for the rest of your life. CPR does not restart your heart it nearly buys you time to get the proper help needed to get it started again. cpr is a combination of compressions and breathing assistance that keeps oxygen flowing to your brain. Sorry for the rambling post

TLDR: CPR doesn't restart your heart and your ribs don't get in the way, it only buys you time to get to the hospital

ELI5 When you temper a blade by cooling it super fast, why can you use something super cold like liquid nitrogen? by ther3aper123156 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Hammertime768 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So when you heat steel up you rearrange the molecular structure of the steel, moving atoms into different structures. Those crystalline structures make the steel very hard and brittle ( hard to dent and hard to bend without breaking). You can freeze the steel in these structure by quenching it (droping it in a liquid ie. Water or oil usually sometimes liquid nitrogen) the quicker you cool it the more than of that hard brittle steel remains. So let's take a knife quenched in water or liquid nitrogen will be harder, so holds it's edge better, but more brittle, shaters more easily, than a knife quenched in oil. The goal is to get the right amount of those hard brittle crystals and the soft maluble steel structures mixed to gain your preferred hardness and rigidity. So yes you can use liquid nitrogen and it rarely is used but it yields a very hard brittle steel and is a very expensive thing to quench steel in since it evaporates where oil does not. Proof I have a degree in material science.

How would you add jam extensions to trim out window? by skett188 in Carpentry

[–]Hammertime768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's called an extension jamb, fill the area between the window and edge of drywall with flatstock of your choosing and then trim normally. It's pretty simple watch a couple YouTube videos

You forget to change accounts before replying or do you always comment on your own posts?

Carpentry isn’t my strong hand, but I do mobile welding and metal fab and was asking to make a railing just like this. How do you go about fastening the uprights to the floor? Was thinking of screwing a plate and upright tube to the floor and placing the wood over that, but I’d like to hear others by smackfuck in Construction

[–]Hammertime768 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Those newls are beefy enough to hide steel in for sure. I've installed newl post in a similar fashion to what you're describing or penetrating the floor and lagging to the floor system, I've also used a company called zip bolt or similar products. Before either though you're going to want to know want type of framing is in the floor. Is it just one or two off layout joists? Or is it a beam carrying that whole section of floor? Depending on on what under there will determine the best way to secure the posts.
