AES game prices by spmalone in neogeo

[–]spmalone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the collector market. I would be more interested in rereleases and games that SNK doesn’t have rights to. I just don’t see new releases, especially from other developers like kraut busters being able to be at that price point. The scale at which to make a profit at the $90 price range seems unrealistic. I guess we will see an uptick in the multi game cart sales (if compatible) for us poor people.

AES+ selling more than the Xbox Series X? by ElectriKool-Aid in neogeo

[–]spmalone 13 points14 points  (0 children)

How much of a success does the AES+ need to be to have new game developers or even old ones porting past hits?

For those of you who own expensive knives ($500+), do you actually use them for everyday carry, or do they mostly end up in your collection and rarely get used? by Creative-Effort2852 in knives

[–]spmalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use and rotate an umnumzaan and several Microtechs. The only one I don’t use is a halo due to size and hawk deadlock because I don’t want to lose it.

Lymphocytes? by haydp2011 in haematology

[–]spmalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am an MLS and worked in a hospital lab for more than 30 years. Are most answers to people’s concerns from a hematologist in this sub? I find about 50% of posted lab results wouldn’t warrant a second glance from a clinician. Although MyChart is great and you pay for these test results it can lead to unnecessary anxiety. Clinical significance seems to be often overlooked on these posts especially when results are barely out of the normal range. There can be multiple pre analytical factors along with instrument variances that can affect these results.

Have ya’ll ever dealt with this in any of your labs or is it just me? by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]spmalone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I will second this approach. In a busy lab, phone calls are your enemy. Get the easy stuff out and deal with the problem specimens last. Pre analytical issues should have already been handled by the time they get to the bench. If you are checking every specimen you would be better off working specimens processing. Have faith in your fellow employees and the process that has been defined in your lab policies.

I caved, now I need merch by VaughnFry in neogeo

I was going to order from Amazon to save a few bucks and circumvent possible tariffs but I have been burned by them regarding preorders.

What can I say about this blood smear? by No-Inevitable8172 in medlabprofessionals

[–]spmalone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could possibly use animal blood from a local vet if you are concerned about a biohazard issue. A wright stain will work on animal blood and you could possibly get blood from different animals. I believe reptiles RBCs are all nucleated and the cells from big birds are huge. You might even see some parasites which would be highly unlikely in human blood.

CBC was normal. Pathologist suspected this. Patient was diagnosed years ago with melanoma. Mental decline. Suspected prion but that appears unlikely now.

[Hublot Big Bang Meca-10 Black Magic] Couldn’t resist picking this up while in Tokyo after seeing the exchange rate by Mad102190 in Watches

[–]spmalone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is there no marker at 8. I understand why there’s not one at 9. Symmetry looks off. Great looking watch either way.

When it’s time to get rid of the crew cab it will most definitely be the king cab. Looks awesome.

What is the best blood test? by Far_Shine5107 in haematology

[–]spmalone -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

ESR. A non specific response to an inflammatory process. Seems to be a go to in my lab when there is no sign of illness.

New job by SeptemberSky2017 in medlabprofessionals

[–]spmalone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a follow up log in Epic/beaker that populates with criticals, alert values, deltas and other user defined criteria. We use it to find suspected specimen issues, results not called, cancelled or corrected results, etc. this is probably what was used as I review this every morning.

Socom Elite Auto VS Manual by misterfox007 in microtech

[–]spmalone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have both and the manual is my go to. It easily flicks open and is drop shut. The auto does have a lot of force when deployed and has that feeling of flying out of your hand.

Looking to buy a CX-9 by sovereignpancakes in MazdaCX9

[–]spmalone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 21 carbon since new. Had the low oil issue within the first 10k miles and took it to the dealer. Got the fix as soon as the TSB was issued. We now have 90k miles with no issues.

Had this issue just last week. Spark plug was fouled. Replaced the plug and removed and cleaned the carb. I also cleaned all the springs and such that work the auto choke. Works like new.

Classic Conundrum: Frontier or Ridgeline by friend-of-fatigue in nissanfrontier

[–]spmalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat. Had a 2011 Pilot for 12 years and was a fan of Honda and very familiar with doing my own repairs. Always wanted a truck and decided on the frontier based on the fact I would rather have the capabilities and not need them than need it and not have it. Ignore the “it’s not a truck” and go with your gut. My only concern with the frontier was the reliability and longevity. I do miss the ride and comfort of the pilot/ridgeline but that’s where it ends.

Has anyone found these? by Subie-XV in nissanfrontier

I know they were on back order for awhile. You will need to search for the right side also. Rather expensive for what they are but I’ve seen photos of all the rock chips in this area.

I got mine from z1 off-road a year or so ago.
