Yes I’ve seen them in hotel rooms and I have a fire extinguisher but just had never seen that in anyone’s tent and was wondering how many others used one like the old mns in their tent…

my extinguishers are only maybe 50 bucks. What’s extra about an ophthalmologist one?
GROK

Ophthalmologists, like other medical professionals working in sensitive environments, would likely use a clean agent fire extinguisher that leaves no residue. These extinguishers are designed to put out fires without damaging delicate equipment or leaving behind harmful substances, which is critical in a medical setting such as an ophthalmology clinic where precision instruments (e.g., slit lamps, retinal cameras, and lasers) and patient safety are priorities.

The most common type of clean agent extinguisher suitable for this purpose is one that uses Halon (or its modern replacements like Halotron or FE-36) or carbon dioxide (CO2). Here's why these are relevant:
  1. Halon/Halotron/FE-36 Extinguishers:
    • These use a gas that evaporates quickly after discharge, leaving no residue.
    • They are effective against Class B (flammable liquids) and Class C (electrical) fires, which are common risks in medical offices with electrical equipment and potential chemical hazards.
    • Halon itself is phased out in many places due to environmental concerns (ozone depletion), but replacements like Halotron I or FE-36 (a hydrofluorocarbon-based agent) offer similar benefits without the environmental impact. These are non-conductive, non-corrosive, and safe for use around sensitive electronics and optics.
  2. CO2 Extinguishers:
    • Carbon dioxide extinguishers release pressurized CO2 gas, which smothers the fire by displacing oxygen and leaves no residue as it dissipates into the atmosphere.
    • They are ideal for Class B and Class C fires, making them suitable for electrical equipment found in an ophthalmologist’s office.
    • However, CO2 can pose a risk in confined spaces due to oxygen displacement, and the discharge can get extremely cold, potentially requiring caution around patients or staff.
In an ophthalmology setting, the preference would likely lean toward a Halotron or FE-36 extinguisher over CO2 because:
  • They are safer to use in small, enclosed examination rooms without significant risk of asphyxiation.
  • They cause no thermal shock to delicate equipment, unlike CO2, which can create extreme cold during discharge.
  • They are effective for the types of fires most likely encountered (e.g., electrical malfunctions in diagnostic machines).
These clean agent extinguishers are widely recommended for environments with sensitive electronics and where cleanup must be minimal, aligning with the needs of an ophthalmology practice. While I don’t have specific data on every ophthalmologist’s office, this choice is consistent with fire safety standards in healthcare settings prioritizing patient safety, equipment preservation, and minimal disruption.

Hey y’all. Feeling yuck today as the antibiotic I’m taking for a tooth infection making the rest of me not so pretty good feeling. Having a soda for my stomach and watching the buffalo girls before the race while Mr sub runs the vacuum around. Whattaman 💕💕💕

Toothache is the only pain I cannot handle. My heart goes out to you, Subbie.

Back from a beautiful walk. Lots of floating debris in the lake. No boats until that is removed.

Speaking of tattoos ....I have one and only one....not my thing...got it the first time they lets us off the post for the weekend in Basic training. Great conversation piece....The Red and yellow has faded from years and years of wear and tear....about 55 years ago....

I swear to God I did nothing. But I was sitting in Mrs. Hennessey's Second Grade class in 1947 when Barbara Gibney turned around and stabbed my right hand with her pencil.

We got together by email 75 years later, and I asked her why she did it. She did not remember doing it.

My only tattoo: the back of my right hand, below the knuckle.

The surgery was to do with a water filled sac in my scrotum, it was called a hydrocelectomy.
It was not serious but a water filled sac isn't exactly comfortable to have and it looks odd. Not that I was going to be running around showing off my scrotum:)
@oldmaninbc -- I just had a flash of Cheech Marin gutterally singing:
"NA NA NA NANA NANA... MY SCROTUM!

What a way to wake up!

PARIS; "Femen" activists staged a topless protest chanting "Heil Trump, Heil Putin, Heil Musk, Heil Meloni, Heil Le Pen," extending their arms in Nazi salutes. Several had swastikas painted on their torsos.

[/ISPOILER

So how many times did you watch it? I had to rewind it for Mr sub 🤣
There was not a single one of them I would cuddle. And frankly, bare tits on a grimacing, painted harpy are not in the least enticing/enchanting. Boring. Equivalent to gargoyles.

A rainy day here starting at 39F and predicted to reach 52F.

Gym this morning and then Ford is due to fix their latest recall on our EV here in our driveway.

An invite to lunch out if Ford finishes our repairs in time.

A request for assistance building a CLS from South Africa, but no followup after I agreed to help within my boundaries, given our WolfWurx/Skunk Pharm Research court settlement, leaving me to wonder if it was actually a probe by the evil and nefarious empire to see if they could get me to violate it and open myself to yet another lawsuit.

Good Morning All (OF's):

Time for another round in the saddle at the rodeo. Monday blues.
As usual have a ton of work to get & catch up to. Tomorrow more.
Weekend was nice. Got a chance to work on my home projects
Gotta start seriously grinding more so. Summer here starts early.
I hope all you working class folks have a nice start to your week.
And those just relaxing at home get started on more of the same.

Wishing each and every one of you, a pleasant morning, wonderful day, and outstanding evening.
I am currently pretty tied up with projects and work, so wanted to start with my daily check in hello.
Today's Monday: "Can't Trust That Day". And the work week begins. One day closer to a weekend!

See you all tomorrow (again)! (y):)

Can you explain skunkpharma for me what transpired between you guys?
Ok if its personal just you have mentioned it and I am a curious monkey.

Presentation is important! Comparing the bare chested harpies to nice bosoms on enchanting women, is like comparing fine art with graffiti.......................

We three founding partners of Skunk Pharm Research equity traded SPR to PharmGold in a project to expand the site and the relationship with our two new partners ended with lawsuits and counter-suits.

Also involved in the equity trade and resulting lawsuits was my WolfWurx, Inc Terpenator CLS's and Vapor Hawg recovery pump lines, as well as Joe's Trommel molecular still.

I'm unable to discuss the terms of our settlement, per that settlement, other than to say that the arbitrator found in our favor.

We closed down our SPR grow and lab on Eloquent Solutions property, when she moved away

Us original Skunk Pharmers are all still close friends, though in the last decade we have all gone our separate ways.

At least Pharmer Joe and Eloquent Solution have moved away, with me living at the same old place. Joe is currently operating a lab in N. California and Carla is retired and living the dream in S. Oregon.
