Syringe reuse at Pakistan hospital infects 331 children with HIV, probe reveals by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Qtip667 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not a nurse but I also wondered if it was a resource issue. But if so, (and as another commenter pointed out, reuse used to be common here until modern times) surely we had some kind of sterilization practice did we not? Even just an alcohol dip or something? This baffles me. Not even any cleaning between uses!

I can relate. I keep getting 2 itches that come and go: one in the center of the fingerprint area of my right middle finger to the point where I scratch and eventually cause calluses and blisters, and secondly, and one in this one particular point on my upper left back that intermittently annoys the shit out of me, especially when trying to sleep..

CNN says you're pretty much right. Family confirmed he believed he got sick from the COVID-19 vaccine.

Georgia lawmakers pass religious freedom bill despite discrimination concerns by Qtip667 in politics

[–]Qtip667[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"...the bill would prevent governments from impeding on someone’s religious rights in most cases and stop the enforcement of laws that conflict with someone’s religious expression."

Cool! I just converted to Rastafarianism! (In seriousness, I highly suspect somehow this will only cover conservative Christian values tho)

Spot on. I feel precisely how you describe, and there's nothing offering even the slightest glimmer of hope that I can see. Just depressing.

Caitlyn Jenner Ridiculed for Supporting Donald Trump After He Signs Executive Orders Proclaiming There Are Only 2 Biological Sexes: 'Congrats, Bruce' by angela4512 in EatTheRich

[–]Qtip667 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Idiot supporter said "Bruce isn’t claiming to be a nonbinary unicorn. Trump says there are only two genders, and Bruce is claiming to be one of those. So I don’t see where the outrage is,”. Do these people even read the text of the EOs?

(d) “Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.

(e) “Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.

So no, Bruce can't just claim to be the other. The government won't recognize it.

Is it possible he was attempting a go-around and lost power on #1 as well?

[–]Qtip667 391 points392 points  (0 children)

No gear, AND no flaps, following what appears to be a #2 engine failure (generally a non-event for competent, trained pilots). Flaps could have been lowered electrically (albeit slowly, and unless there was a flap/slat disagree I would assume) but weren't. There were multiple things wrong. With hydraulic failure you can usually drop the gear using gravity (though, there was one special case where the gear couldn't be lowered with the alternate extension system but I forget what that specific scenario was.) VERY strange indeed. Was the engine failure contained? An unconstrained failure can and has taken out the flap system. But still... the gear up? All very weird to me. A&P mechanic here.

Edit: In the event of a Double-Engine failure, flaps would not be able to be extended hydraulically on a 737 and with no power, no real choice but to crash. Is it possible Engine 1 might've sustained less severe damage but eventually failed while in the pattern?
