re: Anyone Want to Go into the Dry Ice Business?
Posted by NorCali on 6/22/26 at 5:25 pm to Funky Tide 8
I remember from chemistry putting some dry ice pellets in ethanol or isopropyl alcohol creates a very cold bsth ( approaching-80C). Have always wondered how fresh fish flash frozen at -80 would work?
Pretty sure they do something similar for most tuna sold through Japan for sushi but could be wrong

Here’s why I use it often.
You don’t heat up the kitchen, heats up way way quicker than grill.
Fried rice
Fish tacos (fish on one side, tortillas on other) cooks fast.
Blackened/Bronzed trout/other
Salmon with skin on (skin side down first cook most the way through, flip and peel skin right off, scrape the brown fat away, quick flip back)
Large volume mixed grilled vegetable (diced zucchini, squash, onion, mushrooms, bell pepper, eggplant, asparagus: mix and match)
Grilled shrimp
Chicken and burgers are fine, just no marinade for chicken with too much sugar, will mess with your seasoning of the cast iron.
It’s more practical for daily lunch/dinner. Quick start, quick to clean. As a comparison my neighbors have a green egg, probably use it 2-3 times a month
Honest downsides: cold wind and doesn’t heat up well, in coastal air components do corrode even with good attention to maintain

Nah, Choke-lahoma will show up and hand UNC the title. And we will have to hear 5 sec teams couldn’t get it done.
Shame on Ole Miss for blowing first game against UNC

This is fun and all, but until they have freedom to sell, which will probably happen at a much lower price (tell me if my assumption is wrong) and finished paying the cut for taxes, etc, none of them are actually “millionaires”. I hope it works out for everyone but if not vested, not real numbers yet. I speak as someone who had options valued over $100 but the strike price once vested was below $10 ;)

Go ahead and ask for an order for therapeutic phlebotomy. Good chance your hemoglobin will rise and make Blood Pressure hard to control. Usually can be done at local donor centers. Plus we are preventing a catastrophic decline in blood products

From Claude
The clinical context
When a child needs a solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplant, siblings are tested as potential donors because HLA matching between siblings offers the best outcomes. Full siblings have a 25% chance of being HLA-identical matches.
What gets discovered
When HLA typing is done across a family, non-paternity (where the biological father is not the presumed father) is sometimes revealed — because the child’s HLA haplotypes can’t be reconciled with the presumed father’s. Misattributed paternity rates in the general population are estimated at roughly 1–3% in most modern studies (lower than the oft-cited “10–30%” figures from older research), though rates vary by population and methodology.

Go look closely at the in car camera. The front left was clean on both cars before hitting the patch and after was coated in marbles. Really looks like front left lost traction and led to the head on into the barrier. Juan Pablo bave a nice analysis post race of this discussing that kimi and lewis missed the trash on the restart but LeClerc didn't. The tire trash with whatever else was going on with brakes, etc seems to have been enough that the driver could not overcome

All kidding aside, a big concern with translatability of the low walks is whether or not he will get squeezed by the strike zone of SEC umps as well as potentially better plate discipline of SEC hitters. But on paper looks great addition through the portal!
There is huge need for capacity during summer so 3 lanes and new bridge is great. Folks going from Foley to GS don’t want to have to go over to the new bridge/beach express.
Also, great to have a safe bike and pedestrian friendly way to cross. The hwy 59 bridge way too dangerous. Greatly improves the walk and bike-ability. Anything to lessen congestion is a good idea

re: PE forcing Utah to lay off Athletic Dept. employees
Posted by NorCali on 5/31/26 at 4:38 pm to Dr Rosenrosen
quote:you left out the part about some greedy individuals inside of the Utah system that signed the deal to let the PE group in.
Greedy investment fund with greedy investors took over Utah athletics and is cutting payroll.
Really fascinating. The University might have done this to trim the fat without having to worry about severance,etc while getting a guaranteed yearly payment and not having to manage the athletic department.
Of course PE wants to make a profit. They don’t hide that. But who let them into a public institution???
I hear everyone saying, yeah but this is a legitimate track athlete. These days what makes them legit. The NCAA allowed biological men to compete as women just because they said so. Surely a football player has enough athletic skills to say they want to “walk on” as a track and field guy and be more legitimate than a trans person.
Point is, how can this be shut down. They let the Genie out of the bottle.

I’m cannot believe page 5 before we get to 1995 Alyssa Milano and Embrace of the Vampire.
This “article” can be summed up in a sentence
Sepsis is a condition when infection from any source causes single organ system failure (-40% mortality) or multiple organ system failure (-90% mortality)
What I am very surprised about is the fact that they aren’t releasing the infectious agent, whether bacterial, viral or fungal. You would think if it was just as simple as a pneumococcal infection that would have been stated.
Double pneumonia as a cause of death is an incomplete fact.
Analogous to someone saying the cause of death is a hole through the brain and leaving out what caused it, such as a gunshot or other trauma.
