Yes, but no one dies if they get pushed back 2 weeks. Also, the cosmetic surgeries are first on the chopping block.
And again, it’s supply and demand. The hospitals want the profit. They don’t want to pay any overhead for the product.
Blood is just as bad, but yes, the markup is insane in the US, compared to the machinery and time to collect plasma.
Blood, for instance gets sold by the red cross to hospitals for around $215 per unit. Hospitals in turn will charge anywhere from $580 to $3,000 for it.
Also, most blood is used for elective surgeries that are not life critical. Any time you hear about their being a blood shortage that could effect what hospitals can give, what they actually mean is that there’s plenty for emergency and necessary use, but they may have to postpone elective and cosmetic surgeries.
Obviously, the issue would be solved easily by paying people enough to be worth it to donate. People would be lining up if they got something like $100 to donate a pint. Something that only takes about 30 minutes to do.
You can, but it’s a lot of number crunching time to convert a bunch of files like that, as opposed to just using a different player.
Thankfully, vlc’s audio offset function is very easy to quickly adjust and save. As long as the audio delay is consistent you can adjust it pretty quickly.
They make you have an internet connection for the pc port of the original ff7…
I was all set to re purchase the original ff7 on steam to play it again on my steam deck. Then I seen that the assholes require an internet connection to run it. My playstation sure as hell didn’t have an internet connection. Yo ho ho ho
We live in an oligarchy. As long as plastic is cheaper and gets sales, it will keep being used unless a law bans it. I lived in a time when soda was canned or in glass bottles. The stuff tasted better bottled in glass. Plastic was lighter and cheaper, so it got switched.
Some stuff can’t really be made very well without plastic. It can vastly be cut down, for certain. But it isn’t yet realistic to eliminate yet. We need replacement materials and ways to eliminate what is already here.
As windows sucks more, Linux gets easier, and gaming gets way easier, this trend won’t stop any time soon, but I am curious about how big a chunk of that percentage is steam OS/steam decks.
Lol. That’s a good take.
The Lucas looks more Sci fi, but usage wise, I prefer one called AutoPulse. It looks less “brutal” when being used in front of patients family/bystanders, isn’t as loud, and the newer ones have a built in tarp with straps to pick up the patient and carry them so the stretcher. Also has a much lower profile.
I have soooo many. Lol
I’ve been an EMT for over 15 years. It’s now common place that ambulances carry battery powered devices that do cpr compressions for you. The things are incredible, really. Freeing up a person from needing to do it, no longer worrying about fatigue, and not having an extra person to do compressions in the way of moving around the patient is just fantastic.
I think the concept was old and fully grasped. Reducing the latency enough to make it work in headphones and earbuds was the magic part.
But I wanna tell people my master password to my pw manager. It’s such a fantastic password that no one could ever possibly guess I would have. I wanna gloat.
Next do chromium
Ouch. Umm…start with mage and dump all your upgrade scrolls into the staff for a while. Then when you get a tier 4 or 5 armor, put like 5 upgrades into that.
Huntress only took me like 5 tries to win with. Got some great items that paired well with her. I’m having a real bad go of it with the dualist. Been getting wrecked.
Don’t worry, OP. Samsung makes absolute dog shit appliances, so you’ll be replacing that dishwasher sometime in the next 2 years anyways.
