Liberals Are Going Crazy On Fakebook

Liberal tears are free, and can bring joy to any conservative. Many of my liberal friends are posting their feelings on Facebook. While I don't want to respond to these comments, as I do not want to upset them. I can do so here in this community. So, here is a long winded comment from one of my liberal friends, a long with my response to it

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

EVS jokingly quipped, "Is that all you do—walk around and look cool?"

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."

It's not being egotystical. It's just that we all have different personalities. And we all go about the same job in different ways. 

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.

Here Is Why Israel Is Not The Oppressor Of Palestinians

This cartoon is a lie.
Why are people in the United States saying that Israel is the aggressor after it was Israel that was the victim of aggression by Hamas, a terrorist group? Why are people in the U.S. and around the world saying that Israel is not removed from the blame for what Hamas did? Why are their anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian protests here in the U.S.? 

To put it in perspective, you can compare the Palestinians with Black Lives Matter (BLM) here in the U.S. 

BLM

Here in the U.S., many blacks live in poor neighborhoods. Many of them are in the underclass: they have low paying jobs and live in poverty. Many prisons are filled with blacks. And the reason for this is oppression by white people. I'm not making this up. This is what BLM says. 

If black people commit crimes, it is not their fault. It is the fault of their white oppressors. So, this is why you have BLM calling for defunding the police. This is why you have a surge in shoplifting and the police doing nothing about it. It's because blacks are just doing this to make a living because they are being oppressed by white people. 

Palestinians

They are lead by the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). And they have a stated mission of creating one Palestinian state with now Jews. They call for the elimination of all Jews and the elimination of Israel. 

Now let's get a little back story. The State of Israel was created in 1948, following the Hollocaust. This was just a little sliver of land in the Middle East. At the time, both Jews and Muslims lived on this lant. And the State of Israel welcomed all to stay. All of the Jewish stayed in Israel. And about 80% of the Muslims left and became the Palestinians. 

At first, when there were only a few Palistinians, Israel said you are welcome back in our land anytime. But, the Palestinians did not want to go back. And, since then, they have voted for some sort of terrorist organization to rule them ever since. At first it was the PLO. Now it is Hamas. And all of these organizations have had as their charter the destruction of Israel and the creation of one state of Palestine with no Jews. 

It's not like they are secretive of this either. They are very open about it. Even today members of Hamas say openly, "Our goal is to destroy the Jews." They said this sort of stuff before, during, and after the most recent attacks on Israel. And, yet, there are still Hamas and Palestinian sympathizers. Why? 

And, of course, the reason is because there is this myth that Israel is the oppressor. How could this be? Well, they say that Israel should let the Palestinians back in to Israel. The problem is, the number of Palestinians since 1948 has grown exponentially. So, if Israel welcomed them back in now, Israel would be overcome by the Palestinians. And, remember, the Palestinians do not want to live with the Jews; they want to live in the land of the Jews with no Jews. They want a Palestinian state from coast to coast with no Jews. 

Okay? So, Israel cannot let the Palestinians in for that reason. 

And think of it this way. If the Palestinians truly wanted a home, why then do they not get absorbed by the neighboring nations of Iran, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey? All of these nations are nations with 100% Muslim populations. While Israel welcomed the Palestinians to stay in Israel in 1948. And Israel also allowed any homeless Jew to come to the State of Israel. Not one of these Muslim nations welcomed any Jews into their nations. And they have stated why many times. 

But, the people like those who are currently protesting on behalf of Hamas and Palestine are obviously not aware of this history and these facts. Lacking this wisdom, it is easy for them to fall victim to the lies of the PLO and Hamas, who make it look like THEY are the victims here because THEY are oppressed by the Jews. 

In Israel, there is a 20% Palestinian Population. And they live in peace with the Jews. In all of the seven Muslim nations I listed above that surround Israel, there are zero Jews in any of them. And they easily could take in the Palestinians. But they don't want to. Because leaving the Palestinians where they are gains them sympathy from the media and protesters in the U.S. and around the west who fail to understand this history and these facts. 

So, then, who are the actual oppressors? Is it Israel? I say not.

My Smart Strategy For Resolving So Called " Climate Crisis"

Let's put aside the debate over man-made global warming or climate change's evolving concept, and for now, assume its reality. This shift in focus lets us delve into productive discussions without debating its existence.

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

COVID was one of the more interesting times in our history. It was something that we have never experienced before. And hopefully never will again. We were so busy. There was one day I came to work and we had seven high flows and three ventilators. And I was the only therapist available to take care of them. It was unsafe, but that's all we had.

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.
