What's your stance on "donating" blood plasma?
  • 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.

    Eating less beef is a climate solution. Here's why that's hard for some American men
  • My only care is that cow meat tastes damned good. KC strip steaks, smoked brisket, and hamburger in its many forms.

    If it can taste like that, then I almost don't care where it comes from.

    did you hear that Dr Disrespect tried to make a comeback the other day with a Deadlock stream?
  • Look at how they're willing to act in order to attract millions of 12 year old viewers. You can't fake act being that stupid and emotional for that many hours pretty much every day unless you're fucked up in the head.

    What's your stance on "donating" blood plasma?
  • 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.

  • Sorry, my man. I wasn't on there very often im afraid, so chances are slim.

    Were you on reddit when KA Applegate did their AMA back in the day? That was an awesome thing to be around. Like 15 years ago, before reddit sucked.

  • It's an Enchantment written onto the hammer by Odin.

    So basically, it's the will of the God Odin, instilled upon the hammer.

    Even Batman makes exceptions.

  • Just curious if anyone else has had issues with their track pads on the OLED models.

    My left side touch pad doesn't "depress" down at all in the middle, and requires much more force around the sides to depress down and "click". If you go by the haptic pressure measurement, the right side will click at around 3,000 anywhere on the pad,, but the left side takes about 10,000 around the edges and never does in the middle.

    06 tribute manual transmission clutch hard to press.

    All of a sudden my clutch went from totally normal to very hard to press down. It's now been this way for quite a long time. It's a hydraulic clutch (clutch was replaced by a shop a few months prior to the issue, but me and the shop....did not get along.) in an 06 tribute with a 4 cylinder motor.

    Looking for what I'll need done in order to not have to break my leg to shift the thing. Thanks.

    I figure it's something the shop didn't do correctly, as it was supposed to have new flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disc, pilot bearing and throw-out bearing but there's no way to verify they replaced it all or did it correctly and the problem started suddenly about 3 months later.
