2024年9月16日 · My first surgery (other than wisdom teeth removal) was two months after I turned 50. It wasn’t even outpatient; I spent one night in the hospital. I’m glad you’re going ahead with the procedure – my understanding is that it’s quite routine, and also that you’ll feel much better afterwards – but I definitely get the nerves ...

2025年3月17日 · I’m not sure that factual questions is the right place - mods, please move if I’ve landed wrong. So, I own a condo and the condo community is in a flood zone. The Association carries flood insurance for the structures. My condo owner’s policy is for the contents of my unit. My mortgage company has recently audited my account and …

2025年3月26日 · My cat just had an injection site fibrosarcoma removed from her hind leg. Margins appeared clear but thin, due to the difficulty of removing more tissue. She’s 12 years old, overweight (17.5 pounds), and has very bad arthritis and joint damage in her hips and elbows. For these reasons she was judged a poor candidate for removal of the entire leg.

2025年3月19日 · By small batteries I mean AAA, AA, C, D, 9 volt, etc. It seems like more and more devices that used to require batteries like these instead have an in built rechargeable lithium ion battery. At this point, I think the only thing I use smaller batteries for are remote controls and the smoke alarms. I haven’t used a C or D battery in years. Some things like my car key FOB will probably never ...

2013年8月17日 · Compound W is a commercial brand of wart remover. I like it better than the alternatives but I have an ongoing problem: the main solvent is ethyl ether, which is so volatile that once you open the bottle it starts drying out just from the few seconds at a time you have the cap off. It’s expensive enough that I don’t want to toss a nearly-full bottle after just a few uses. Can I buy a small ...

2024年10月18日 · A question I have after finishing my annual rewatch of Chernobyl. The simplified reason given for the reactor exploding is that when they SCRAMed the reactor, reactivity went up instead of down because the control rods were tipped with graphite. But the only explanation for why the control rods were tipped with graphite was “it’s cheaper” which doesn’t really explain anything. So why ...

2025年2月8日 · Our living room floor was replaced at some point. The laminate flooring is clearly lower than the original by 1/8-1/4 inch. Even though the floor is insulated in the crawlspace, there’s a draft. The previous folks had stuffed a line of weatherstripping in between, which looked terrible. We’d like to find a different strategy that is still …

2024年9月30日 · Larsen Park in San Francisco had 3 different jets (F-9 Cougar, FJ-2 Fury and a F-8 Crusader) between 1959 and 1993. You couldn’t miss them if you drove down 19th Avenue. They were a big attraction for the kids in the neighborhood. Safety concerns and restoration costs led to the removal of the Crusader in '93.

2012年5月23日 · In fact the job took most of the day, (because I had to take frequent breaks due to rising frustration) removal of the tank from the toilet to replace the flush valve and rubber gasket, (My God, was that thing heavy!) 2 trips to Home Depot for tools, and finally a hacksaw to cut the old flush valve off since it was corroded and locked solid.

2019年6月24日 · [Moderator Note] Billyboy2, we prefer that old threads in General Questions be revived only to post new factual information. Since this does not, I’m closing it. Colibri General Questions Moderator PS. Anyone seeking further elucidation with regards to Mr. Van Damme’s cranial protuberance may open a new thread in Cafe Society.
