It should be remembered that Spirit makes the 737 bare bones fuselage then ships it by train to Boeing. This fuselage had the door plug installed on models that have one. When the fuselage gets to Boing the door plug is removed so the inter

As I told the anesthesiologist shortly before one of my many general anesthesia experiences: The only way I'm going to know whether I died in this room is when I wake up. There is no difference between anesthesia and death.

In the US the Carter administration stopped spent fuel recycling due to it's fears of nuclear proliferation. Didn't make sense to me at the time and still doesn't.

I worked in commercial nuclear operations for 23 years. It was a two unit site with unit one built first. It was designed as two identical units. By the time unit 2 was finished the regulations had changed so much that final reactor require

Many of the doctors at the VA I go to are retired then took the VA job. They see 8 to 10 patients a day and spend between 20 to 30 minutes with each. They work 8am to 4pm and go home. On the other hand surgeons and their support staff have

I believe they will take his passport and let him loose with his promise to appear when he has to. He isn't going into a holding cell.

The first thing I do when fishing a new area is book a half day drift boat trip and mark all the spots they fished on my marine gps app. It's stupid easy (if not free) to find where charter fisherman fish.

I remember reading that 70% of the male bodies the coast guard recovers have their zipper down. I frequently fish offshore alone here in SE Florida and when I have to go I pee in an aft corner and wash it down with the raw water hose.

I recently had emergency surgery for an obstructed small intestine and the surgeon was pretty much in charge of my care. I can't tell you how many times I heard "we have to talk to the surgeon before we do xxx" Members of his

As someone who has spent much more than my fair share of time in ICU and on "the floor" I can honestly say that being in the hospital is similar to being in prison in one respect. Having someone on the outside working for you is c

Twitter moves way faster than any council possibly could. By the time a council decides some content is bad the damage has been done and people have moved on. Unbanning all the extreme right accounts will blow up twitter.

In the US a nuclear reactor operator can work a 16 hour shift then get 8 hours off then return for an 8 hour shift. These hours exclude shift turnover time. This is crazy.

The average weight of a reasonably new semi is around 20k pounds without fuel which leaves 60k for cargo. Every pound the tesla weighs above 20k is a pound less cargo. Another consideration is the fact that tesla trucks won't be paying

When I joined the USN in 1975 the first course I was given in Nuclear Power School was how to use a slide rule. When I told my dad this he gave me his beautiful K&N slide rule with a great hard leather case. He's gone but the slide
