You're quite right! I think the chances of retangling the cannula properly are vanishingly small. I hope that the new tanglement is fully functional. (Or better - you never need it again.)

I am guessing the primary device is a concentrator?
Would a UPS be able to run it for a while?
You would still need to break out the tanks, but it would be less urgent.

It could, but ... it pulls about 4 amps, so it'd have to be a pretty heavy UPS.
It doesn't take that long to get it out and set up most of the time, and we don't get that many power cuts so it's just another thing to trip over / the cat to attack.
She has portable cylinders she can use, just they hold only 1/10th of the "main tank" - and it's kept in my tool storage room behind a closed door to minimize the risk of becoming and oxidizing agent and starting a big fire.
That and I don't trust the concentrator - I think it's a "noisy" device, as it blacks out the TV from time to time and the noise would hit the UPS from the "clean" side. Plus the last time I bought a UPS it took three deliveries before I got one that worked at all - they are heavy little buggers and couriers drop them a lot!

Most excellent fare. KSP is a great game. I'd guess the giveaway will do wonders for KSP 2 (next year?).
The CP newsletter article today about on-demand learning relates a bit. There is an assertion there that on-demand learning cannot teach general concepts.
However, conceptually, I know orbital mechanics better than at least 75% percent of the population and this game is the only reason. I didn't go about studying astrophysics or rocketry for an understanding of deltaV. A need to understand deltaV lead me to diving into astrophysics and rocketry.
For gamer-coders and maybe especially game coder gamers, on-demand is a clear far and away favorite and on-demand isn't inherently inferior at teaching concepts. Gamers and game developers go learn concepts all the time on-demand, some concepts might be strictly game-mechanics, others are real-world physics, chemistry, or biology.
Obviously specialist domain knowledge might be something you would pre-learn. The stuff you pre-learn.... it's about eliminating the very important unknown-unknowns. Everyone has maybe heard of HIPAA, except for people who haven't. Am I going to memorize the .NET Framework namespaces? Nah, probably not. But skimming every bit is good because later I'll be able to at least know "oh hey it does that" and start the searches there. Maybe even intellisense and knowing it exists are enough to get things done.
If you want to eliminate unknown-unknowns in code that will bite you? Pre-learn anti-patterns. Stuff's wrong for the same good reasons. It's wrong in any language you want to butcher the logic in. Fundamentally faulty logic is what's wrong.

No thanks, way to complicated. I like wordle.

Too complicated for me - the beauty of wordle is its simplicity.

Seems a but obtuse. How "alive" (one of my guesses) gets a score of 15.76, the hint "swept" scores 24.01, and the word itself is "shut" -- well, there's no semantic correspondence that I can see!
|
|

You'd have to see the entire semantic net to judge it. But you're right, it can get obtuse. For example, "away" might be near "swept"! It often takes some lateral thinking. That's not one of my strengths, which is maybe why I like jousting with it.

Quote: TOOLS EXPLAINED
DRILL PRESS :
A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.
WIRE WHEEL :
Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, 'Oh sh*t'
ANGLE GRINDER :
A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.
PLIERS :
Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.
BELT SANDER :
An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.
HACKSAW :
One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.
MOLE-GRIPS :
Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.
OXY-ACETYLENE TORCH :
Used almost entirely for setting on fire various flammable objects in your shop. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race..
TABLE SAW :
A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.
HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK :
Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.
BAND SAW :
A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.
TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST :
A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect.
PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER :
Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.
STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER :
A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms.
PRY BAR :
A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50p part.
HOSE CUTTER :
A tool used to make hoses too short.
HAMMER :
Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.
STANLEY KNIFE :
Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.
ADJUSTABLE SPANNER:
aka "Another hammer", aka "the Swedish Nut Lathe", aka "Crescent Wrench". Commonly used as a one size fits all wrench, usually results in rounding off nut heads before the use of pliers. Will randomly adjust size between bolts, resulting in busted knuckles, curse words, and multiple threats to any inanimate objects within the immediate vicinity.
BASTARD TOOL :
Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling 'Bastard' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need

ROUTER:
A device for throwing small-but-heavy sharp knives that are rotating at 20,000 RPM directly at the most valuable thing in the shop.
(Beware the Chinese bits: I had a Mortise and Tenon router bit set that was not balanced: first time I ran them up the vibration snapped the head clean off before the wood even got to them ...)

I bought a cheap router to trim laminate for a counter top in kitchen. I was using a 1/4" trim bit and The bit slipped out of the chuck and chucked it across the room. The router base had a gouge in it and when I finally found the bit the shaft was bent. If I had been in the way it would have really hurt.
I threw that router away and bought a decent one.

Good option too...
That remember me to something OG usually says: If you think a good dev is expensive, wait until you hire a cheap dev.

I wanted to take up woodworking, but they wouldn't let me. I would lose several fingers and a thumb trying to use anything sharper than a keyboard.
The same applies to any type of mechanical work.

I too am clumsy but managed to get by with just cuts and abrasions and a slight concussion once, but that was from my ex...that don't count.

It's the same as cooking: have respect for the tools, and remember that everything you work with is dangerous in some way. Pay attention and you'll both stay safe and do a better job.
When I look round my kitchen, the number of sharp / hot / heavy / fast moving / electrical (pair up as necessary) dangers is quite staggering. And even Herself can't get through more than one can of Burneze a year ...

some truth to that. A few years ago, my wife and I became foodies. Now we raised a giant family so we know how to cook in quantity, now we're all about challenging recipes . So in addition to re-doing the kitchen, we bought real knives.
You know the show where all the chefs roll their knuckles over against the blade? There's a real good reason for that. I'm looking at my right index finger (I'm a lefty). The worst injury in the kitchen came from a stupid tuna can lid. 7 stiches and 1,500 later..
