Hows the Volvo?

A patient is visiting you with the following symptoms:

dark urine, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, yellowing skin, weakness.

After conducting a few tests you find out that: he has a lower RBC count, and his RBC look abnormal. He mentions that about 6 months ago he had similar, but milder symptoms. The symptoms, however, had disappeared after he was treated for a severe asthma attack. Note: asthma is an autoimmune disease that in severe cases is treated with corticosteroids.

What is your hypothesis?

How do you test your hypothesis?

Is it snowing in Burnaby? Just planning for the commute lol.

Alternate non-lame question: If you got $5000.00 (CAD), with the only caveat being it had to be spent on cars, what would you do with it?

Trade that one in for a new one with a warranty, hope the dealer doesn’t notice.

This is one question on a final project for a Biochem course that a friend of a family member is taking. But, it seems more like a mashup of Biochem and Physiology and at a level I wouldn’t have expected for a junior college course. She just emailed it to me, and I’ve hardly looked at it yet.

The Volvo is still dormant. I’m gonna go check on it next week, I have’t even seen it since July. It just needs more money thrown at it than I can afford right now.

I work at a prop/set dec rental warehouse. The film industry all but shuts down around christmas, so there’s not much to do.

It is indeed. Just starting to stick down here off Winston, and apparently it’s really sticking in North Burnaby. North Van is already totally covered.

Oh, and I would buy a Weber for the Raider, and a mild engine rebuild for the Volvo, as well as either a new Weber for it/rebuild the current one. If there was any left over, which I doubt there would be, I’d start doing the other things the Volvo needs.

I’m thinking of getting smooth steelies like that for mine, maybe. I do like the stock wheels though.

What are your 3 cars?

Would you rather have that Trooper, a Raider, or a Jimny?

You’re into vintage audio stuff right? You think this is worth the asking price. Idk much about them, they just caught my eye.

The Raider, and I have one already. The other two are a 2006 Legacy wagon and a 1969 Volvo 144S

I went with wagon wheels, much wider than stock though, so fender flares are mandatory

I am indeed, but I don’t know old Pioneer gear at all. I would poke around on Audiokarma and see what people say, that’s where I usually look for info.

What size wheels/tires? I’m thinking I’ll just do 31 x 10.5s, and the pomegranates are wide enough for that.

It’s pretty intensely busy a lot of the time, but it’s definitely interesting, and almost all my coworkers are excellent.

What’s the weirdest prop you have ever seen? How about the largest prop? Have you recognized anything in a movie that you had to handle?

If you could invite any person to dinner, living or dead, what would you serve?

I actually can’t say, I had to sign a NDA to work here that means I can only speak about the props in vague terms, because spoilers I guess?

As for recognizing stuff, it happens quite often. Usually TV shows, I haven’t seen a lot of movies lately. I can’t say which shows, but lots that are on netflix. It only gets really distracting when like a whole set is all or mostly our stuff.

Baked mac and cheese, with old cheddar, and bits of bacon. I’m terrible at cooking, that’s the only dinner I can make. Luckily I’m not usually the one cooking.

With anemia that is neither microcytic nor microcytic, my first thought had been a kidney problem, but I think you’re right.

31x10.5 is slightly larger than what I have. But tires poking out the wheel wells are pretty illegal here, hence the flares

gmctavish needs more space > Rustholes-Are-Weight-Reduction 12/19/2017 at 15:57

They’re allowed to poke out a little bit here I think, I think I should be okay based on pictures I’ve seen of 31s on the same wheels I have

That’s still pretty neat. Is there a lot of prop reuse between different shows?

Oh tons, often with stuff that you’d never even notice unless you were really involved. Sometimes with more specific stuff, but they usually source their own “hero pieces”, stuff that actually gets focused on
