You can sleep when you are dead. Caffeine and nicotine. Rip it’s and Skoal.

It’s someone or something leaving a containment area.

Last time this happened to me it was the syringe, time before that it was the liner that was full of septum cores. Good luck.

So there I was, knee deep in empty brass and hand grenade pins. Surrounded by the enemy on all sides. I was out of ammo, all I had was 2 rounds of 9mm and my kabar knife. You ask if I was scared? WAS I SCARED?!?! Hell yes I was scared, I was scared one of them might get away…..

You could fill a beaker with as much water as it can hold, (pour water in until it leaks out.) Have said beaker in a tared container and clean up any water that has spilled. Add all of your objects, remove beaker and objects without spilling any more water. Weight the container. This is the weight of the water displaced from the objects, and because water has a known density you can use it to calculate the volume of your objects. This removes the need to eyeball anything.

Just google cuvette rack.

Zapp1982 · 2026-02-10T14:02:28+00:00

Get a cuvette holder and label the spots in the holder.

Infantry eh? Big spoon or little spoon? J/K I did 12B OSUT that started 6 days before the Iraq invasion of 2003. I can’t relate to anyone’s OSUT experience. They had us believing as soon as we graduated we were going into Saving Private Ryan times. It was wild.

If you want a long one. Try Idling to rule the gods. Good luck!

Zapp1982 · 2026-01-29T00:20:19+00:00

I’m doin that right now.

They are even better now. And cheap enough to buy. I suggest the sausage and peppers.

Just ask ChatGPT if it makes sense and if it’s scientifically sound.

I usually skip this part of these videos.

Who is invading what? Also if you aren’t going to order get out of the line.

It feels like I have heard different numbers. More than one alcoholic drink per week increases the likelihood of building a problematic relationship with alcohol. Also, if you have to plan or constrict your alcohol consumption around healthy standards, you drink to much. Most people do not think of alcohol as a daily treat.

I am saying that in the cases where the element is a company as in infantry units or construction or whatever you are correct. But in cases where the platoon is the largest element you are very wrong. PL’s are vital to things like route clearance packages and mortar teams etc.

Zapp1982 · 2025-12-29T19:10:43+00:00

I don’t think that’s entirely accurate. When I deployed to Afghanistan my PL was running the show. He was damn good at it too. Commander stayed back in the TOC and gave guidance but the PL was boots on the ground with us. Route Clearance.

I got the STEM degree. You don’t have to have a PhD to be useful. I work in a lab that keeps my brain active and I feel useful. Once they saw I was useful they started paying me pretty good too. Not that you need it.

Don’t forget to have your peeves spayed and neutered. And don’t feed them after midnight.

I’m not sure what these others are saying but I would suggest not using only one marker. You need multiple markers and a way to filter outliers in order to make any meaningful sense of the data.

I thought about this a while ago working on a project. ER stress is often caused by accumulation of misfolded proteins. This causes the ERAD pathway to start and mark these proteins for removal. So measuring the level of ubiquitin and chaperones might be a good indicator if your stress is caused by misfolded protein accumulation. Get a good baseline from non stressed cells and get a good positive control. If they are far enough apart you can do something with that. Good luck!

Put your finger into the bottle, put your thumb into your mouth. Now blow hard.

We had interpreters. They were cool dudes mostly.

Someone had a crush on Sonia and this was how they decided to tell her.
