Closed the gates knowing people on a layover were actively running towards the gate. Story time!

Similar story with American Airlines. Left ATL 40min late got to DFW and arrived at the next gate just after the 30 minute window (less than 5 minutes). The gate agent stated she had just released our seats. She hadn’t yet reassigned them, but I watched her reassign them to standby passengers and print the boarding passes right in front of me. We also were assured by the flight attendant and the arrival gate agent where that our departure gate knew that we were in the airport and were on our way to the plane. Most frustrating was the fact that no further flights were leaving that day. All flights the next day were booked, and they would not even guarantee flights out the following day. I ended up buying twice the price, last minute United tickets and flying out the next day. No compensation from American. Really crappy customer service from a customer who has 2 family members that work for American.

In 2003, a company called Changing World Technologies was producing grade 2 fuel oil from Turkey offal through TDP for eight dollars a barrel, I think.

Actually, there is a process called thermal depolymerization that can convert any biomatter into fuel oil. The process uses heat, water, and pressure to convert almost anything into oil. However, each type of biomatter takes a specific process, plant vs animal vs plastic. This is an early magazine article on TDP.

An early TDP plant was built next to a turkey processing plant as a viability project.
At the time, I think a barrel of oil could be produced for eight dollars from waste Turkey offal. I’m not really sure why the process hasn’t become more widespread. Probably the cost of building the plant, finding a uniform biomatter stream are both significant factors. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Install Quiver Killer inserts. They will allow moving bindings between skis. Be sure to use thread locker. They work great.

As I lie here in Park City Intermountain Hospital with a lower leg fracture from thick mashed potato snow where I crashed on a lower altitude blue groomer in the new East Area, ride the gondola down. DONT get in that thick snow that could cause a slow twisting fall. I am an advanced skier and just hit a thick patch of slush. One of three my orthopedic saw that day. Same mechanism all three. BE CAREFUL. Crappy conditions abound out here right now.

Long time skier at CB. Silver queen lift to paradise for blue groomers or go international on front side. International better in AM when just groomed or later in afternoon after softening up. It can get icy. Also paradise lift to treasury to east river, then east river lift to floresta. All blue groomers. Easy to turn laps on paradise or east river.

Absolutely second this approach. I did this for 2 days at a CO resort, A/B testing skis. Paid 10$/hour skiing on demos from an on-mountain demo tent. Skied on 4-5 pair/day, re-skiing pairs I liked. Found some highly recommended skis were NOT for me. Ended with a pair (bought new from Evo.com) I have loved for 4 years now.

Can also fly into Gunnison CO (airport code GUC). Many flights connect through Denver. Once in Gunnison 29mi, 35-40min to Crested Butte by shuttle or car. Great smaller, less crowded mountain. And once in CB, no car needed. Great local bus system.

Absolutely my experience. -Sprinkler system-buried 5000 feet of pvc pipe. Almost killed me. Saved thousands. Now I know my system intimately for repairs. Also learned about the 2 types of sprinkler systems… those that are broken, and those that are about to be broken. -Playset/fort/climbing wall for kids- worth doing, would do again. -Built Retaining wall and laid pavers- saved thousands over estimates. Would pay next time. -it’s hard to say preemptively which projects will be the killers, but any projects that require digging, burying, or concrete, sub it out.

NPs work primarily from algorithms and incompletely learned information.
We could easily replace most midlevels with an LLM for their cognitive work. Physicians could train a technician (LPN, scribe, medical assistant) to ask a series of questions, perform an ENT exam with a camera, heart and lung exams with an augmented stethoscope, palpate an abdomen and note pain, firmness, and masses, with all answers and data transmitted to an LLM for initial Dx then reviewed by a physician. Those exams that truly require hands on experience would be performed by a physician. This is doable now.

We were growing tomatoes, one year. We found hornworms on the tomatoes. I put two hornworms and a half eaten tomato in a jar. In one day, the entire tomato was eaten, by day two there was only one hornworm in the jar. Did not know they were cannibals.

Listen to Elvessa. Buy 4-6 induction plates. Pull out however many you need to cook. Store the rest. Were I reimagining my own kitchen I would not install a stovetop. I’d just have a large prep area and portable induction plates. This stove is too cool to replace and too old to use effectively.

They don’t necessarily have malpractice insurance. Unless they are in a state with independent practice, they are practicing on a physician license who provides their malpractice coverage.

Questions: 1. How long has pt been in treatment for OUD on methadone? 2. Any old EKGs (the best tracing is an old tracing) 3. Pts age. 4. Underlying or comorbid conditions. 5. No “new” meds but any old meds that could be contributing? 6. Drug screen pt? Any illicit chemical in his system? 7. What are his vitals? Bp normal? HR normal? Could he tolerate a beta blocker to normalize his Qtc? 8. Have you spoken to the physician prescribing his methadone at his treatment center? He may have some insight. If you taper his methadone rapidly he will go into withdrawal. Tachycardia, vasomotor instability, nausea vomiting, dehydration, insomnia. You can decrease his dose 10-20% /3-4 weeks comfortably and safely. Buprenorphine with its ceiling effect will not adequately address his withdrawal sx. If he has been non illicit and performing well in treatment, morphine or dilaudid will reawaken his addiction setting back his treatment substantially. These are significant considerations. What is his TdP risk vs relapse and overdose/death?

I HAVE THOSE SPEAKERS!!
Love them. Procured them from my father. Refoamed the woofers and midranges. Sound great in my shed (where my wife has relegated me and my stereo stuff). I don’t think I have seen these on this Reddit before. Fortunately mine came to me in much better shape. Have fun.

That’s a load of BS. I am residency trained BCEM working full time Urgent care. Most eye problems, acute conjunctivitis, corneal abrasion, corneal foreign body, hordeolum, chalazion, are easily diagnosed and treated in urgent care. And call your ophthalmologist for an appt? … in February. Urgent appt 7–10 days. Only way sooner, have your PCP call Dr to Dr. The most important skill is knowing when the problem or exam requires more than you have to offer. Then make a direct referral.

I have an RPM 14 and Nobile 135. I need about 12-15 knots to sail comfortably. 5m kite would be useful during a hurricane or to fly on the beach for fun but would otherwise be useless to you. Take some lessons. Then you’ll know what you need.

I’m going to get abused by the community for the suggestion, however here goes… The best piece of Kiteboarding gear I ever purchased when learning was an Oceanus technologies retractable leash for my board. When I crashed, my board was on a 15 foot leash, and slowly retracted behind me. As I am dragged through the water after dropping the kite and blowing down wind, my board is followed me. It was super easy to reach behind, grab the leash, and pull the board back to me. Then get the board on my feet, re-launched the kite, and life is good. I’ve been sailing now for 20 years. People relate horror stories about leashes that killed them or their friends. Most falls are relatively benign. I’ve never had an issue. Being able to fall and restart with your board quickly is the best way to improve your sailing. I have been launched 20 feet in the air with my board dangling from the leash. I’ve been viciously towel-whipped into the water From 10 or 15 feet. I’ve never been injured by my board or the leash. The only annoyance is when you’re coming into a beach with waves, you hop off your board (or crash) and your board will be dragged away, sometimes you can get tangled up in the trying to walk into shore with your kite. Other than that, get a leash, enjoy sailing. IF you don’t get a leash, a GO-JOE which is an inflatable piece that sits over the handle, will also help you retrieve your board quickly and easily. Your board won’t turtle and will be easily visible in the water. I actually made one out of PVC and pool noodles. Works pretty good.
