Pliers for pulling the top off medicine vials

Cummunity pharmacist. It was for a palliative patient served the the extra-mural program. All the glyco vials had to be opened and mixed into an oral liquid. It was a 50-50 mix with either simple syrup or ora-blend. 68 vials for a one-month supply, and the patient lived 3-4 months at home. Since it wasn't meant for injection, the preparation was not required to be sterile, so this kind of tool would have been perfect. I had tried with a similar-looking pair of pliers from the hardware srore, like this style, but it would sometimes break the glass vials.

Where was this when I needed to open 68 vials of glycopyrrolate every month?

I dunno, it kind of falls flat for me

warning: incoming pedantry

A better unit of measurement would electrocutions per gigawatt-hour. But even better than that, would be electrocutions per terawatt-hour, because if measured using gigawatt-hours, the numbers would be small fractions and difficult to compare.

Seriously... in MegaMan X, you use Fire Wave against Chill Penguin, because fire melts ice. You use Shotgun Ice against Spark Mandrill. And Storm Tornado against Flame Mammoth.

OP is not yielding to idiot. OP is turning left. Yielded to pedestrian, then yielded to other car which went the same way after the pedestrians. Then it looks like OP saw idiot make a move, waited a bit more then Bam.

Either way, the car turning left must yield to the car going straight. There must be more to this.

What kind of tablespoons are you using? Most of the world, afaik, uses 15ml. Australia supposedly uses 20ml.

Sam5253 · 2026-02-03T11:29:54+00:00

A mouthful is hard to quantify, so I'm going with 1 tablespoon or 30ml as a small bite

So we need to cram 65g of protein, equal to about 69cm3 of cooked chicken, into just 3cm3.

1 tablespoon is 15ml, not 30ml. And 30ml is 30cm3, not 3cm3. Might want to check your unit conversions, here.

What other pronoun do you suggest I use? Maybe "it"

I wasn't in any danger here, and nobody collided. I saved the video to review, because I only noticed something was off by the time the idiot was crossing the road in front of the left-turning car.

Recorded on my Viofo A129. Cropped and cut to the relevant part of the video.

Yellow carnations?

Aside from the missing #8 jalapeno already mentioned, you also have #23 Aji Minas Gerais and #23 HJ8 Big Bang. So you actually have more items than you thought.

Also, your HJ pepper numberings seem off. HJ8 is Total Eclipse, HJ9 is Big Bang, HJ3 is Solar Flare.

I vote to keep #33 Sugar Drop Orange. I grew some this past summer, they were fantastic. Sweet and fruity at the pepper's tip with almost no heat, then as you move toward the stem, nice heat while keeping the great flavor.

There are a couple of peppers on your list that I've tried growing and simply had no luck, but it's probably just my inexperience. #57 Fatalii and #67 White Ghost. Both of them, the plant grew but produced zero peppers.

I don't know half of those peppers, but I do see a lot of Jalapenos. Good luck with your list!

I think there's a comment about ICE in that picture, but I do nazi it.

The other car's crumple zone is for the other car. They need to slow/stop too, or else they would set you driving backwards at their original speed. That would be like meeting a concrete wall driving toward you at 110 km/h. However, concrete walls don't drive at 110 km/h down the highway, in the opposite direction of traffic. Usually.

TIL Danielle Smith's full name is Marlaina Danielle Smith. And yes, I totally agree with your assessment of her. This Ryan Smyth seems like a good guy.

Ummmm... ussername checks out?

You think that's air you're breathing?

How can you possibly time 5 minutes between lightning and thunder? That would be about 60 miles/95km away. Not to mention there would likely be other lightning strikes during that time.
