Still trying to unpack my feelings about the results of the election. I have to say that this is about so much more than just a political difference of opinion. This is about the survival of the America that I was raised to love and revere. This is about the safety and well-being and acceptance and respect and RIGHTS of all the marginalized groups in this country, including women.(conservatives are for the rights of EVERYONE, not just one group of people)This is about morality and ethics. 8 years ago, when Trump won against Hillary, I was shocked that so many people would vote for a blow hard failed businessman (how is he a failed businessman? He is a billionaire, so I'd say he was pretty successfulk) reality star to run one of the most powerful countries in the world. I didn't know a lot about Trump at that point, I was not a fan of his reality show, I just knew that he didn't seem like a viable candidate. And by the way, everything that I feared back then, and that some of the people in my network made fun of me for believing came to pass or are about to come to pass this time around.But this time, 8 years later, we know everything about him. We know that he has committed crimes left and right, some of them treasonous. (Really?)We know that he has no morals or ethics, is most definitely not a Christian (he goes to Church, so I'd say he's a Christian), and really only cares about himself and maybe his rich buddies (okay here you are getting into his head. How do you know what who he cares about just by looking at him? The answer is: you can't). He has no concerns whatsoever for the base that votes for him (umm, what? If that were true why would we so strongly support him?)And things are about to get very very bad here. Prices will go up, so if you voted for him because you thought that prices were too high, yeah good luck with that. (why would prices go up under Trump?)Anyone with a brain knows that tariffs are not going to make our prices go down. (fair enough. But the point of Tarrifs is to make it so companies can't just move to other countries with cheap labor to compete against similar companies in THIS country. High tariffs prevents companies from moving overseas and taking jobs from us, and encouraging these companies to move to the U.S. So, the only prices that will go up are products shipped in from overseas, not everything else) We are going to pay for those.We may never have another election.. at least that's what he promised. (He did? When?) Women are going to continue to lose their rights, maybe even the right to vote. (What the hell are you talking about?) People like me on Social Security may lose their income. (One of the biggest lies about Trump is he wants to take away your social security. He has said no such thing). The media will be silenced except as a propaganda machine... hell, that's already happening. (Like the Democrats have been doing to voices they want silenced. Hell, they even took Trump off Facebook and Twitter.)So forgive me if I'm having trouble seeing any silver linings or finding my hope right now. And if you're in my friends list, and you voted for that immoral, treasonous, poor excuse for a human being, then I really don't care to have a relationship with you any longer. (Typical of Democrats. Sorry for you politics does not determine who my friends are. You know, come to think of it, I think you were one of the 20 people who were at a dinner in Washington D.C. who sat around trashing my President and my God and I just sat there and took it like a man.)I don't have a problem being friends with people who disagree with me, (What? You just said "I really don't care to have a relationship with you any longer." )but I do have a problem with people who vote against the rights of other human beings, including themselves and me. (Well, fear not. Conservatives are HUGE proponent of Natural rights)

How To Calculate How Long An Oxygen Tank Will Last
Your question. how long will a b oxygen tank last with a pressure of 2000 and a liter flow of 3lpm
My humble answer.
To estimate the duration a portable oxygen tank will last, you can use the following formula:Duration (in hours)=Tank Pressure (in psi)×Tank Factor Flow Rate (in LPM) Duration (in hours) = Flow Rate (in LPM) Tank Pressure (in psi)×Tank Factor
The "Tank Factor" is a constant value based on the size of the oxygen tank. For medical oxygen tanks, the typical tank factor is around 0.16. So, for a tank pressure of 2000 psi and a liter flow of 3 LPM:
Duration=2000 psi×0.163 LPMDuration=3LPM2000psi×0.16
Duration=3203≈106.67 hoursDuration=3320≈106.67hours
So, the oxygen tank with a pressure of 2000 psi and a liter flow of 3 LPM would last approximately 106.67 hours. Keep in mind that this is a rough estimate, and actual duration may vary based on factors such as the tank's condition, environmental conditions, and the accuracy of the flow meter. Always consult with a healthcare professional or the oxygen supplier for precise information regarding specific oxygen equipment.

I am cool, and that's not being egotystical
I retorted with a grin, "Yep." Pausing for effect, I continued, "Actually, I've been exceptionally busy today. It's just that I'm so fast and efficient at what I do compared to my coworkers that I get to enjoy more leisurely strolls, looking cool and all."
Individuality in the workplace is indeed a beautiful thing. We each bring our unique styles and approaches to the job, fostering a diverse and dynamic environment. It's not about ego; it's about embracing the richness that arises from our distinct personalities and methods in tackling the same tasks. Personally, my individuality creates an ambiance of coolness and calmness. I get the job done with a grace of cool. It's just that my individuality contributes to an ambiance of coolness and calmness, allowing me to get the job done with a sense of grace and ease.

My Smart Strategy For Resolving So Called " Climate Crisis"
Starting from the premise that human actions contribute to global warming and air pollution, what steps can we take to address this problem?
Halting car production isn't practical; it might damage the economy. Stopping oil drilling and coal mining could also backfire economically. Stricter industry regulations could make things harder for manufacturers and raise consumer prices. Thus, this approach might not yield positive economic outcomes.
While we aspire to a future free from fossil fuels, we're not there yet.
Promoting electric cars is challenging but a step forward. Raising taxes for Green New Deal initiatives is another option. However, none of these solutions can remove existing CO2 from the air. And they might further slow the economy, which wouldn't benefit our nation.
The mentioned measures, whether implemented or discussed to counteract global warming's impact, could undermine our national interests. Such actions might even favor China, which seems less concerned about global warming's urgency.
This situation requires carefully designed strategies that balance environmental needs with economic stability.
I envision a continued reliance on fossil fuels, given their current effectiveness and economic impact. However, we must simultaneously encourage automotive manufacturers and other stakeholders to transition to exclusive electric vehicle production. This shift requires patience and perseverance, recognizing that progress toward this goal is inevitable, though not immediate.
This approach would be prudent for addressing potential anthropogenic global warming, assuming human activities play a role. Even if it's unrelated, transitioning to electric vehicles offers advantages. Just as innovations like iPhones and computers have seamlessly integrated into our lives, the embrace of electric cars will likely follow suit once they're affordable and as functional as our current vehicles.

Thinking back on COVID
I did have a coworker, but she had her half of the hospital to care for. And she was equally as busy. And I remember one time when ER called and said they needed me STAT in the ER. And I said, "Sorry, I can't go. I have two patients up here that we are about ready to intubate."
And there was another time I was so busy that, when ER texted that they needed me STAT, I never even had time to respond. It was just so busy.
I was so busy, one of the nurses asked if I would help prone a patient. "Nope! I'm sorry, I am just too busy."
I was asked to help take a ventilated patient down to cat scan. "Sorry, I am unavailable right now."
And there was no way to get more staffing, because it was this busy at every other hospital too. And at one point we needed more ventilators. And I talked to my boss about this. And he said, "Sorry, every other hospital needs more ventilators too."
Gosh, it was so busy. And it was fun. It was monotonous, but it was fun. It was fun because we really got to use our skills. We got the utmost respect from doctors and nurses AND the community. There was one day I got home, feet hurting like crazy, mind spent with burnout, and there was a sign in my front yard that said, "A Healthcare Hero Lives Here!"
That was neat. And that same day, as I was walking up to my house, the neighbor lady came over with a pasta dish. It was hot and ready to serve. And she said, "I just appreciate what you are doing so much. I didn't know what else to do for you. So I made you this." That was neat.

IndividualJustice Versus Social Justice
Gorup Justice. Social Justice. There is no such thing. It undermines the notion of individual justice.
We have a tendency in our society to turn everyting into a referendum on groups.
Example. Matt Araiza. He was charged of gang rape. He was a member of the Buffalo Bills. And, rather than waiting for him to be found guilty or not guilty in a court of law, the Bills released him. They told him to deal with his problems.
As it turned out, he was not charged. It turned out he wasn't even present and a gang rape never even occurred. But, he is still unable to get a job in the NFL. And this sucks. It is so unfair. Why is he not able to get an NFL job? He would dominate as a punt returner. He shined in his brief stint with the Bills.
Another example is Trevor Bauer. He was accused of rape. And he was released from the Dodgers before he even had a triel. Justice was not served here. And the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence. Yet he still cannot get a job.
Why? He is innocent until proven guilty.
In a court of group justice, he is guilty. He is guilty by association. Because these two athletes were not treated on an individual basis. They were treated as thought they are part of a group. And he is judged as part of a group.
The reason Araiza was kicked out of the NFL was not because he committed a crime. It was a stand in for every ME TOO incident. This is what we not do with every incident that turns into a media narative. This is indicative of a broader issue and therefore we must make an example of this individual. We have made a decisoin as a society that the minute an accusation is made against a man that he is guilty and we are going to destroy his life.
If he is convicted of this crime, his life should be destroyed. But, if you are not, then you should be set free. And you should be able to rejoin society. But, that is not the case with social justice. And this is why social justice is so wrong.
The idea that our society is based on white supremacy patriarchy. And the only way to break down the patriarchy is to break some things. So, if allegations are alone to convict someone, that is the important thing. It sets an example that we do not tolerate such behaviors. Such was the case with Matt Aeraiza. It was also true for Bauer. It was also true for Brett Kavenaugh. They also tried to do this with Trump, but in that case they failed.
The opposite is true too. You have people getting arrestede and doing horrible crimes. And if a white person did such crime he'd get a long prison sentence or jail sentence. But, if a black person is arrested, he gets off or gets a short jail or prison term. This is because they are victims of white supremacy. So it's not their fault they committed crime. So they are let off.
The victims here are those crimes are committed against. That person does not get justice. Plus, with all these criminals being put back on the streets, then you have a greater risk for more crimes being committed.
So, group justice is bad. It is horrible. In fact, social justice may be the result of the perversion of our Bible. Or the fact that so many people have gotten away from the Bible. For, in the Bible, we have Levaticus 19:15 which states: "Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the gret, but judge your neighbor fairly."
Today, with social justice, we treat one group one way and another group another way. And this has messed up our society. And, hopefully, it will wrech the democratic party which is partial to social justice and impartial to justice.
‘Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly.
