The picture is of a vaccination though, not euthanasia. It’s a random stock image chosen by someone who doesn’t have any practical medical knowledge.
This would be a more apt image…
But, yeah barbituates are only IV or IC (intracardial; mainly for small animals like hamsters)

Here’s a quick video to add, giving the reasons for the 3 drugs. youtu.be/aP7rP6_OxKI
While it may not seem too bad on the surface, there is relatively high failure rate of 7.12%, which is pretty alarming as most of them were doses (of any of the drugs) that weren’t high enough. (Some may even have been intentional)
- Comment on This woman must have a really bad dog 1 day ago:
That’s actually the correct technique for a subcutaneous injection. You have to tent the skin with 2-3 fingers so that the needle can get under the skin layer without going too deep.
- Comment on This woman must have a really bad dog 1 day ago:
It is. All anesthetics used for euthanasia (mostly barbituates), that I know and recall, are either given via IV (in a vein) or IC (directly into heart). Nothing other than certain vaccines or just fluid are given subcutaneously.

It was the last part of the show where they pull two people from the team to try to get 200 points for the extra prize.
Both cannoli and tiramasu got zero, with ice cream as the top answer.

I mean, if you covered his face, he’d look like a 3-4y/o who likely needs their parents to dress them.
On a side note, a lot of older men either lose track of where their waist is or pull their pants up to try to hide their overhanging belly. It’s mostly people from a generation that always wore pants with the waistline at or above the navel

Using baking soda a bit of water and some time will also get rid of the corrosion along with neutralizing the acid which tends to come back otherwise.
Just disconnect and remove the battery. Wipe the battery with a paper towel covered in a paste made from baking soda. After, rinse it off with some clean water. Clean and rinse the car’s battery tray and Clamp like you did with the battery. Get a large-ish bowl or dish with some water and. Soak the harness terminals for a few minutes while adding baking soda until it stops fizzing. Get an old toothbrush and scrub the terminal with a baking soda paste. Rinse, re-install everything and you’re done.
It got my harness terminals from a crystallized mess from leaking to looking brand new (seriously) and none an issue for the past 4 years.

It looks like it. I use gain ones and if I do a cold wash cycle less than 40 (or so) minutes, the casing doesn’t always get fully dissolved.

To be perfectly fair, when the guy said the test was inconclusive, he was right… To a point.
His failure was that he only did the test once and in one location, which just proves a hill/valley could be playing a factor in the results. To have true empirical results, the test would need to be done at multiple locations, each a random but sizable distance apart.
The scientific method relies on repeatability and reliability in data to provide proof to anything and he wasn’t really using either.

People that would need a bone or ligament graft. It’s mostly for joint repairs.

I think I remember hearing methanol got most of its bad rep (over IPA) because it was commonly produced with the ethanol when moonshine was made by inexperienced people. During prohibition, people would go to these inexperienced distillers because of the low cost (or even try doing it themselves) and get sick.
It is also used to “denature” (make unfit for consumption) ethanol for industrial use to be exempt from alcohol taxes. Bittering agents are more common now though, especially when the product is consumer facing and the residue left by the agent isn’t important.

You have to keep in mind that the resistance from one foot to your other is going to be less than dry earth between your strides. This means if you are walking toward a downed power line, you may inadvertently walk within its path to its ground and the voltage could actually travel through you.
