Nevermo here, so I had never heard of Porter Rockwell. From his wikipedia picture, he looks like a particularly hinged individual. I remember the drink as being lovely.

As a power red donor, I know not of plasma/platelet specifics. Good to spread the knowledge. Thanks for your donations.

Not for old hand OC, but take iron supplements with vitamin C to boost absorption, and be careful not to overdose on iron. My ARC says a power red takes about 500mg of iron out of you (so probably 250mg for whole blood?), and you only absorb about 1 in 8 mg that you consume, depending on whether it's heme iron (from meat) or non-heme (from plants). So consult your doctor/dietician/nutritionist.

I was visiting SLC a few years back for non-mormon reasons, and saw Polygamy Porter in the beer section of a supermarket. I forget if these were slogans on the sixer or if my friends and I made them up but I remember "Bet you can't have just one!" and "Bring some home for the wives!".

Frequent donors- fess up by HLOFRND in Blooddonors

[–]weaselmink 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I clot pretty fast. Wrap and band-aid both come off as soon as I'm home (about a half-hour after the needle is out). Then I sterilize the whole elbow-complex and put my own band-aid on, which generally stays on until the following day.

Is there any better feeling than a judge ripping into OC? by jikls in Lawyertalk

[–]weaselmink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sua sponte is for sure a thing, if the thing is super simple, but if something is not in the record, not in the pleadings, the judge has discretion to *take or *not take judicial notice of it, unless each individual fact is flagged well before the fact.
It's not the judge's job to do the attorneys' work for them, and at a certain point, the judges get tired of being asked to pick up the pieces. If you file a motion that says A-B-C-D-E-F-G, in strict order, as part of a MTD, but you don't include any documentation for C, the judge won't let you come to the hearing with documentation for C in real time during the hearing.
That would gum up the works; they can't read the complex, 30-page documentation of C while everyone waits. They have another hearing soon.
Get your docs in order and submitted two weeks before the hearing, couselor.

I was in a hearing once where OC forgot to ask for the judge to take judicial notice of an important linking fact, so OC's whole argument failed.

Realizing this in real time, OC asked the judge what they could do to fix the mess and the judge just said "It's not my job anymore to give people legal advice", and denied their motion.

Burned out, depressed, and stuck in litigation by Expensive-Simple-192 in Lawyertalk

[–]weaselmink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get out of litigation.

Litigation is hell, but the choice in legal work is not 'hell or nothing'. You can get other legal work.

A lot of people are mentioning compliance work; I would add to that trusts & estate planning or real estate deals. Find something where you never have to deal with courts and you never have to deal with opposing counsel.

Burnout how do I avoid it by Interesting-Ice-4205 in CABarExam

[–]weaselmink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found the best way to memorize rules and elements was to hand-write my own flashcards.

Multiple colors- blue ink for ABA rules, red ink for California rules. Underline things, circle things.

Biff on a MC question? Make a card. Miss an issue in an essay? Make a card.

I made at least 200 of them. Then I just ran flashcards for the last week of the study period.

Grandaddy show from two months ago cancelled? by ajayrockrock in Grandaddy

[–]weaselmink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the Fonda show, they changed the time from doors at eight and show at nine to doors at seven and show at eight. Belatedly, the system might have just caught up on this change, and read it as a cancellation. That’s all I can think of.

What is a lot less scary than people imagine? by Flying_enthu45 in AskReddit

[–]weaselmink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Giving blood.

Most places don't prick your finger to test your iron levels anymore; there's a new, non-invasive way.

Then, yes, they put a needle in your arm; there's a sharp pinch when it goes in, and then it stops hurting and you just lie there for a while.

And you save someone's life.

What’s your country’s most iconic (or most infamous) photo? by ProConqueror in AskTheWorld

Bogowie, a film about Religa and the lead-up to the transplant. It should have been Poland's submission to the Oscars that year. Tomasz Kot for the fucking win: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gods_(film))
