Sure, why not. It feels minty.

Even then I don't imagine it would be easy. Anything in a nuclear plant needs to be built to an extremely exacting standard that I'm pretty sure old coal powerplant components wouldn't be. I can't see how you could convert a coal plant into a nuclear plant without having to completely rebuild everything.

What are you all doing in my house?

Whenever I remove my shirt I hear "The beacons are lit! Gondor call for aid!"

How dare you speak such heresy against big gun in an NCD thread!

I mean, you can stick sterile saline basically anywhere you want on or in the human body.

Are you also the great clown Pagliacci?

World hasthemost users so people don't like it. That's all I've really got out of anyone.

Yup, same thing with hydrogen peroxide. Both were found to slow wound healing and provide negligible benefit. Now the recomendation is to wash around (not in) the wound with a mild soap and rinse the wound out well with plain water. Then, if you really want, hit it with some antibiotic ointment and cover it.

EMR here so I have some insight on this.

As far as why firetrucks respond to medical emergencies, it's because they're also trained EMRs (previously called first responders) so they can provide some treatment on the scene even if they can't provide transport or do all the things an EMT or paramedic can do. In many emergency situations fire crews are also able to act where medical responders couldn't. In a car accident they can cut up the car so the patient can be removed without disturbing a potentially broken spine. In confined spaces they have SCBA gear to enter safely where normal medical responders can't do anything. Hell, if you wanted to, you could extract a patient through a second story wall with the equipment firefighters have at their disposal. There are many times where firefighters have resources that the ambulance crew don't have access to. Firetrucks, due to the fact that they are built like tanks, are also used for trafic control. If a road needs to be shut down they just park a fire truck across it. If there's an accident along a busy road they can park the fire truck between the responders and traffic so any lookielou hits the fire truck instead of the ambulance crew which is a frequent enough occurance that it is specifically covered in training. There is no better friend to EMS than a firetruck on scene.

As far as why ambulances are so huge, it's partly because they are mobile emergency rooms. They have everything you could possibly want to stabilize a patient in them plus spares and enough room to work around that patient while on the move. The other reason they're so big is because they're designed to be hit. While they aren't as indestructable as a fire truck, they are designed to come out as the winner in most car accidents because the likelihood of them being in a collision is much higher than most vehicles and they frequently carry unsecured people in the back. Ambulance accidents are also something we were specifically trained for. If it does happen then the ambulance may not always be able to take a hit and keep moving like a firetruck could, but it will almost always keep those in the back alive if not entirely unharmed.

Sorry for any spelling mistakes, that was more of a wall of text than I planned and I just woke up so my brain isn't working yet.

Yes. But in the same way being hit by a train causes hearing loss.

Fuck Meta and all but this isn't news. Meta litterally said straight up that they would be doing this before threads ever launched. If you have an instagram account then that is also your threads account. This isn't some conspiracy it's exactly what they told everyone they were doing. It's no diferent than linked accounts for google services.
