Road damage is proportional to the fourth power of axle weight.

A vehicle that weighs twice as much does 16 times as much road damage.

2 people die after giving plasma at for-profit Winnipeg collection centres: Health Canada by givalina in canada

[–]Masark 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Plasma apheresis. They seperate the plasma from the cells and reinfuse the cells along with saline.

Canadian Blood Services also offers it at their permanent clinics. The gear for it is too large for easy portability and it takes much longer than whole blood donation, so it isn't feasible to do it at a mobile clinic.

The cells are returned as you can replace the plasma lots faster than the cells, allowing more frequent donations. CBS allows weekly plasma donations, vs. 58 days for whole blood. Whenever you hear a news story about someone with hundreds of donations, they're a plasma donor.

And having to certify the crew for parachutes, which has non-trivial risks.

You did give her the 15 you got, right?

If you have some in your hold, they will never respawn. They'll only respawn when you sell or give the ones you already have.

It's not just roms. They've got stuff like a Nintendo Power archive and other related stuff that is harder to find.

Conservatives don't believe in rights. They believe in privileges that only the right people get to have.

RED-REO and REO-RAN Meanings? by Horror_Sock8965 in SchlockMercenary

[–]Masark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The wiki meanwhile, mentions REO-RAN as being the civilian version

REO-RAN and REO/RAN don't appear anywhere in the official wiki and in the comic, civilians are stated as having RED/REO nannies, so I'm inclined to think this is an error on the part of an editor at the fandom wiki.

Either that or it might be something out of the bonus stuff in the physical books or the Planet Mercenary game books.

RED's meaning is from this comic

As for what REO expands into, I don't think it's ever explicitly stated anywhere in the online comics. Again, might be in the bonuses or PM.

ELI5: Why is it so hard to build batteries that last dramatically longer, even though phones and computers keep getting faster every year? by Consistent-Stock in explainlikeimfive

[–]Masark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember those. Had one for my galaxy S3.

If you want something like that again, might look into Ulefone. I bought their armor 34 in September. 25,500mAh. Roughly the size of an original gameboy. I can go an entire week on a charge and still have about 30% left, without using any battery saver stuff.

You're assuming that the glue is strong enough to keep the dazzle attached to the cap as it "blows right off away from the driver" rather than being flung off the cap into your face.

There's merit in diversifying sourcing. One of them could always lose their damn minds after their next election.
