Molar pullers are specialized tools. Regular pliers tend to crush the tooth, breaking it into difficult fragments. Woe to those people over 30 with teeth that are solidly fused into the jaw or skull, and praise the pulling of mobile bleeding-gums diabetics teeth. <br /><br />The point is to pull the tooth out in one piece, leaving nothing but a bloody socket that needs a good cotton roll stuffed in it and a caution to the patient to keep the mouth slightly open for a couple days and DO NOT APPLY SUCTION for any reason for at least a couple days. You want a nice scab to clot up in there under the cotton roll. <br /><br />Prophelaxis of antibiotics after a pulling is not a bad idea if you have them. Oral infections are life-threatening. <br /><br />pdxr13Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-48210237546825063002015-02-24T14:14:42.088-08:002015-02-24T14:14:42.088-08:00If you ain't got something to kill the pain yo...If you ain't got something to kill the pain you'll not be using any kind of pliers.

You could get hurt or spill the hot water on you and the stairs. <br /><br />Upper levels, loft, attics, are nice storage spots and make inspecting the underside of roof for leaks more frequent and likely. A small water tank over head to hold the pumped-up warm water (6 gallons! A real shower!) lets gravity do the work when you want the water to flow. A 12v pump for the greatlysolarendowed who pine for their re-po'ed McMansion. <br /><br />How does water get hot? Solar is the cheapest, but can be trouble if it gets cold enough to freeze. Heat-exchanger from an engine that charges a battery bank is worth while on a boat, electric can be okay if you have a surplus of electricity and all battery banks are full. Static genset exhaust can be a source of heat to harvest, but good exhaust heat exchangers (stainless steel) are expensive(a non-issue to boat fitters). Heat-exchange from wood stove. Propane is too useful and convenient to use for bulk-heating water, unless you have no alternative. <br /><br />Agree completely that JobOne is consumption reduction, but not so much that there is actual suffering, at least not until the world actually collapses from its' own weight. <br /><br />pdxr13 Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-52128944332441571212015-02-23T13:00:02.876-08:002015-02-23T13:00:02.876-08:00Compared to a full size fridge, about half the cos...Compared to a full size fridge, about half the cost perhaps.

True brilliance oh fair haired one. I try to avoid electrical appliances. Haven't had an electric can opener in 12 years, no carving knife, ect. I do have a fridge and a microwave but I'm on commercial power.<br /><br />The biggest factor in affordable solar power is definitely eliminating use. Folks could live so much cheap if we adopted some simple principles. Barring restrictive zoning ordinances like minimum home size (800 sg. ft. here is still larger than most folks need but far from a McMansion). Non carpeted floors eliminate the need for a vacuum, use a couple throw rugs where needed and take them outside to beat clean the old school way. Wood and solar heat, insulation and shading to reduce A/C needs, Wood or gas cooking. Think about an old boxwood stove on a covered porch for warm weather cooking and water heating or I have a cast iron hibatchi grill that is about 18"X10". I could cook with very little wood and not have to heat up a whole stove.<br /><br />You covered refrigeration. My plan is to run a deep freeze off solar and make ice for a good cooler for fridge needs. You covered lighting too. Not much power needed for a few hours a day. Use natural light as much as possible.<br /><br />I lean more towards the tiny cabin/house idea than the camper though, mainly because its easier to insulate a building (think shed size) Less than 200 sq. ft. with a loft would give you all the room one or two people would need. Plumbing could be as simple as a grey-water drain from the kitchen sink and shower area and the old bucket for the black stuff. In a shed you could basically just build a closet for a shower/bathroom. Bucket could be used in the same space. Plumbing could be another bucket in the loft for gravity feed. Just carry a gallon of hot water and a gallon of cold upstairs and you have a 2 gallon shower. A small kitchen area with some counter top work space and a few cabinet. A woodstove in the living area. Sleep in the loft.<br /><br />I'm rambling so I will stop.Nightshifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16463940857394060911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-58321583096552250552015-02-23T09:49:02.098-08:002015-02-23T09:49:02.098-08:00You can read "Sunshine to Dollars" onlin...You can read "Sunshine to Dollars" online for free at:<br />https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwCDki0jowhAY3MzTjRtaXZUUGc/edit?pli=1ghostsniperhttp://www.upyerz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-468450124049724182015-02-23T07:57:49.632-08:002015-02-23T07:57:49.632-08:00ok, a little pricey upfront but you can get effici...ok, a little pricey upfront but you can get efficient 12v fridges... this one can be a fridge or a freezer, your shoice (just not both at the same time) http://www.compactappliance.com/FP430-Compact-EdgeStar-Portable-Refrigerator-Freezer/FP430.html?cgid=Appliances-Freezers-Portable_Fridge_Freezer <br /><br />I have used one on my boat.. they run about 30 - 50%of the time depending on surrounding temps, so in the Pit of Doom it would be more efficient... if it ran 12 hours a day (which is calculating high) it would use a little over 60amp hours... if it had additional insulation or surrounding air was lower temps then it would run a lot less. <br /><br />Like I said, pricey, but you can have a fridge for anything *vital*TMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03419395494440441249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-13524286586230728872015-02-23T07:40:20.876-08:002015-02-23T07:40:20.876-08:00http://aattp.org/terrifying-new-bullet-designed-fo...http://aattp.org/terrifying-new-bullet-designed-for-maximum-suffering-introducing-the-r-i-p/<br /><br />I bet this new technodazzle bullet kills bad guys <br />73% deader than my wheel weight metal <br />waterdropped 260 gr SWC @ 800 fps 45ACP<br />vladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00434296343159953900noreply@blogger.com
