    @Jolly said in Aortic Aneurysm: Ok, how would they fix that? That would require an aorta-biiliac graft. Clamp the aorta above the aneurysm (hopefully it's below the renal arteries and SMA), clamp each iliac artery, open up the AAA and sew in a bifurcated graft. [image: 1672865922365-image.png] Easy peasy.

    Plot twist, the machine works great. But I found a leak where the fuel switch is (on/off). When it's off, I get a steady drip from the valve, so I found a unit online and it arrives this weekend. No harm in leaving the switch on right now. Good thing too. Yesterday spent a good hour clearing the driveway and walkways, and spend another hour today. We have about 20-24" on the ground as I type this.

    I think in general she is right. Men have much more control over timing than women do. Somewhat related, my younger brother was asking about qualities in a wife. I boiled it down to three very important traits: Trustworthiness, sense of humor, and patience.

    @Axtremus said in Conservatives have a Millennial problem: Owen Jones' article at The Guardian on millennials not getting more conservative as they age: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jan/04/right-millennials-vote-snowflakes-conservative It speaks to the phenomenon pertaining to American and British millennials. It's central argument seems to blame it on the modem right wingers' spitefulness in rhetoric and in policy. A fine example of a tribal polemic where all virtue lies with the author's political tribe, and all character flaw lies with the other tribe. These things are not difficult to write. The fact will remain that people will vote for whichever party they believe benefits them the most. No millenial to whom that piece resonates, believes they could safely express sympathy for conservative politics, without damaging their social and even professional relationships.

    @George-K said in Out In The Cold: The Cheddarshack had a SubZero. It was there when we bought the house in 1996, and was still working when we sold it 20 years later. The only problem is that we had to replace the gasket. Our house had a SubZero that lasted for 15 years. In the condo, where I've been since 2009, I've had 3 GE profile refrigerators. One failed completely (within 2 months of moving in) the other two were replace (under warranty) because (gasp!) the ice maker failed and they couldn't get parts. In the video, he comments on SubZero. Better made, but more cost.
