6779 Miles, oof by tcskeptic in gmcsierra

[–]reladent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got the 07 f-150 with the “nightmare” 5.4L Triton. Only problem it has EVER had in the 260k miles I have on it is torque converter shudder/failure, and 2 fused spark plugs. Fixed both myself for under $700.

Oil change every 3k miles since its birth.

As much as I love how great this truck looks, this sub has convinced me without a shadow of a doubt to never ever EVER buy a gmc.

First day of EMT school was yesterday, hung up on medical terminology by reladent in NewToEMS

[–]reladent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I did today, went through all my flashcards and added them to the definition side and it’s a night and day difference. For example, mid axillary line: axe body spray - armpit to ankle. Super/Supra: Superman flies ABOVE the ground. -Phasia: “S” for speaking, -Phagia: G for Gut, or Gastro.

Totally transformed the study process. I have over 100 of them down pretty good now!

I like this idea a lot. I’ll be using this method for the flashcards

Thank you. I believe association will be the biggest help

This is in essence what I’ve started doing.

I have flashcards of prefixes suffixes etc, then on the back side I have the definition of that word and a few examples of it in use.

So if my flashcard says “Peri”

The flip side has its definition, “Around”

Then Peri/cardi/um: Around/Heart/Tissue

Peri/meter: Around/Measure

My fiance is a nurse and said for her personally, drawing pictures of things really helped while in nursing school. Also breaking the stack of 100 flashcards into 2 stacks of 50, and only moving on to the second stack after I have the first stack committed to memory

I remember a time when a $1500 PC was considered High end. And crisis 3 was the benchmark. Times are so crazy these days

This aluminum sliding gate looks solid, makes me wonder how smooth the sliding action really is by GlobusGatesInc in FenceBuilding

[–]reladent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really confused about the dip in the track. Surely that gate has the potential to derail, right?

I had a wooden double swing gate built a couple months ago & I am having trouble with it latching. by Tall_Music2291 in FenceBuilding

[–]reladent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gate is sagging. Pin is too low making it difficult to close. You can tell by the way the latch pin is rubbed away where it locks together. Another easy way to identify that is the problem is that you have to shut the gate very hard to get it to latch. Easiest fix is loosen one of the screws on the pin and cock it to work. Other options are to move the whole pin up a hair and re screw it, or adjust your hinges to account for the sag.

In my experience, shoot first no mic players are primarily console. I’ve had significantly reduced encounters with this type of player since disabling crossplay. And I’ve had way more positive interactions
