CoronitaParticipantSo I guess if I’m blood type O… So when it comes to plasma donation , I can receive any blood plasma type supposedly right?
🙂
CoronitaParticipant[quote=outtamojo]Well, they id’d the nurse/victim and she is all of 26 years old, graduated nursing school in 2010 and received her critical care nursing certification 2 months ago. When bullets start to fly, send in the noob! I bet the more experienced nurses used their experience to make themselves conveniently unavailable.[/quote]
It looks like she got a blood transfusion from Dr. Brantly, and her condition reported as stable.. So hopefully it’s good news she’ll survive…
CoronitaParticipantWell just thinking out loud. If we’re talking about nurses/caregivers handing the ebola patient(s).
Shouldn’t we at least we screen the nurses/caregivers and find the ones that at least are compatible to previous survivor’s blood type(s) and maybe work from that angle, in case it comes to that?
Assuming the worst case scenario that it’s easier to get ebola than people assumed, at least wouldn’t it make sense to take some precautionary steps and try to find the ones that are have a slightly better chance of surviving, given what limited tools we have right now?
I really hope hospitals elsewhere take this much more seriously.. Me thinks that if hospitals wait until they have a case, it’s already kinda late in the game…
CoronitaParticipantLooks like the a nurse at texas now has it…. The question is, if this is a nurse that encountered Duncan before they took precaution or a nurse that encountered Duncan the second time, after they took precaution.
If it’s the latter, it does raise an eyebrow for folks saying that it’s not easy to get……

Meanwhile, anyone know if any of the Marines dispatched to Africa on a humanitarian aid were from San Diego? If so, just saying. Me might not be so sheltered after all.
Also, anyone know what’s Dr. Kent Branty’s blood type is? Seems like people getting a blood transfusion with the antibodies are surviving.
Some are complaining Duncan didn’t get treated well in the hospital, but I suspect it’s because they ran out of ZMapp and his blood type didn’t match.

CoronitaParticipant[quote=kev374]Actually she is the one who unfriended me because she does not want to read my posts and see how much fun I am having (her exact words).
Now, the more interesting concern is if I should unfriend my long time friends (close friends I have known for over a decade) because they continue to choose to maintain a close friendship with her despite knowing what I am going through.
They also leaked all my private info to her and I am unsure if they will do that again in the future. In addition in FB if they comment on my post I believe it would be visible to my ex as well even if me and ex are not friends.
I thought the best thing is to unfriend the friends as well since I want no connection with my ex whatsoever going forward.[/quote]
You don’t need to unfriend your friends. Just stop using facebook. Or create a new account…
CoronitaParticipantThis is one of many reasons I do my best to avoid facebook.
That said, if you are already on facebook and if she’s checking up on you, just change your relationship status to “attached” or even better “engaged/getting married”……That will take care of your problem one way or the other.

Great work Mazda, best one yet! And that’s saying something.[/quote]
Wait, what?
Why did we go from a smiley face the last gen to a frowny face out back this time?

I like the mean look better, though really how mean could a miata look?
Unfortunately, I have a feeling the power figures are going to be a bit disappointing… I’d say about 173/170ish tops with a slightly tuned 2.0 Skyactiv engine, maybe even less.

CoronitaParticipantget a dash cam
CoronitaParticipantKinda mad I sold by GoPro stock, not that I had many shares to begin with…
CoronitaParticipantTexas actually has a decent high tech community, especially around Dallas….
And Gov. Perry keeps throwing bones at California businesses to relocate there too…. I think there were a few companies in SD that just relocated to Texas….And gotta love the no state income tax…
CoronitaParticipant[quote=The-Shoveler][quote=flu]
If you really work in a high tech, the idea of “laid back” doesn’t really matter.
[/quote]Got to go with what flu says, been in the biz for 30+ years.
There are only two modes no matter where you are located.
1) overworked.
2) soon to be unemployed .Better to be where it is easy to find your next Gig (because YOU WILL NEED IT).[/quote]
I look at it this way… If some guy in Bangalore or Beijing can do 80% of your work at 1/8 of your cost… You better make sure that 20% edge you have is something the company really cares about OR you better be sportying an 8:1 efficiency over your overseas peers..Because pretty soon that will be your only differentiator…
Being in the Bay Area is one way to help you to stay at the top of the game..Afterall, that’s one place where a lot of incubation happens…There are other places as well…CoronitaParticipant[quote=spdrun]The work unculture in SV is sickening. SD is more laid back. Do you really want to give your life and firstborn to a tech firm?[/quote]
If you really work in a high tech, the idea of “laid back” doesn’t really matter irrespective of where you are. I think there are plenty of folks that work in Qualcomm’s formerly named QCT division that can attest that their hours aren’t necessarily better than in the Bay Area. Or if they really were in a position to be “laidback”, I’m pretty sure the other positions are being mirrored with folks in Beijing or Bangalore who is doing almost as good work for 1/8 the cost, and eventually at your expense…
I guess that’s why they’ve been losing a lot of people to Google and Apple, since all else being equal, bay area comp packages still triumph over down here…which is perfect for a bachelor that doesn’t care about things as managing rental property, or about things about living in a good school district…So if you’re young ,healthy single, put in maybe a good 3-4 years, make some good money, make some good connections, and then when you’re ready to settle down, move out of the area….
Going to a place like Georgia (although it’s not impossible) seems like it would be career limiting.. It doesn’t seem like you’d be building that much of a network with where most of the action is happening…
And like many people always says, most of the time, it’s not about what you know, it’s about who you know…
