a friend of my wife’s needs a liver-portion donation and I’m at least the right blood type, but we think I drink too much for that :negative:

see what the doctor says. a kinda mediocre liver chunk is almost definitely better than no liver. plus, i mean, i think you have to kind of be a massive drinker for that to actually prevent you from donating. maybe you are (and i mean no offense), and maybe i'm telling stories outta school anyway, but check it out if you actually are down to help

if nothing else, maybe you could pull back the throttle a bit or smth idk

on planes and boats and stuff that have a hand throttle, pulling back on it increases the throttle, right?

Do you mean a twist throttle? Because iirc it's usually "push forward to go faster, pull back to slow" which helps you not accidentally blast off and then yank the throttle all the way to full.

Motorcycle grip throttles are "top towards you for faster" which is the inverse of this and kind of sucks but eh.

motorcycles are twist towards you for go, cars with console automatics are pull towards you for downshift to accelerate, hell even the millennium falcon is pull towards you for hyperspace. i dont have experience with planes so i thought they'd be the same, but apparently not.

Outboard grip throttles are the opposite. Except if you switch sides :D

the river boat my dad had when I was growing up, the throttle was definitely "pull back to go faster"

this is the first time I've thought about it in 30 years and it occurs to me that the throttle was almost definitely installed backwards.

I would say that I’m a heavy drinker, and I should definitely drink less for my health, but wine and beer taste so lovely…

anyway in further discussion with my wife she doesn’t want me to do it even if I’m eligible, which I’m pretty sure comes with some “unless nobody else is found within XYZ” limit. curious, I am looking forward to digging into this with her when we get some time to chat next

being a match with one single other person is somewhat rare. you have to answer several pages of questions that can each make you ineligible, they talk to your doctor(s), and do a full blood panel, and possibly other tests. matching blood type is just the first and most obvious disqualifier. i have a friend who donated a chunk about a year ago, and he's doing fine now. i received a liver transplant about 20 months ago and it saved my life.
