I've been tempted a few times to take such a photo, but what always stops me is that it sets a dangerous precedent whereby my dad can and will also send me pictures of his monstrous outputs.

I learned it like a phone number: 602-1023. That somehow made it easier for me to remember. This was back when memorizing phone numbers was still a thing. I was worried that Avogadro's phone number might change.

EDIT: Put the right number

I don't understand what this picture is demonstrating. Could you please explain it?

From what I've read about Mars missions (Spirit and/or Opportunity, in particular, I forget which one survived so long), the "mission" is simply what the craft is designed to do. If the craft is still usable beyond the end of it's mission, then they'll keep doing stuff with it until it breaks.

I'm guessing the formal mission of this craft does not consist of flying into the sun and seeing how it does; at the same time, though, that's pretty much bound to happen once the mission is over, and they'll take whatever data they can get from it.

Replying to OP in case I'm wrong (I'm an EMT too), but the latest training I received actually says tourniquets are back on the menu. I was taught in the Boy Scouts never to use a tourniquet, but my EMT trainer said that recent studies conducted on military battlefields have shown that tissue damage from tourniquets doesn't set in as quickly as once thought.

The most important thing when tying a tourniquet is to note the time it was applied. Write it right on the tourniquet, or else on the skin of the injured person near the site. Basically, make sure that the doctors in the ER will know exactly when this thing was applied, as the potential for tissue damage does change the way they might treat the patient.

Also, obviously tourniquets are a last resort to use when direct pressure fails, but they are advisable in particularly bad situations.
