We seem to be in agreement. Red cresent and red cross are essentially the same thing. Red cross is training people in Taliban areas to give first aid. US military medics don't work for the red cross, even if they (like myself) had some training from that organization.
All good suggestions however they presuppose the ability to have a rational conversation. Unfortunately...

Explain to them what an "enabler" is. Sociopaths are always going to take advantage of everyone, and people like your friend and your wife are just fodder for them. Better no client than a bad client.
I think there is a certain thrill in getting stressed. You get an endorphin rush from it. In a sense it could be quite addictive. Its hard to talk a person out of something like that.
That's pretty much the answer: physical activity relieves stress.
I disagree. I regard myself as a low stress person and I ride a bike to work, That may be a correlation but I don't think its causative. Some people wind them selves up on stress. Panic and stress feeding on each other until there is nothing else. Telling them to go for a swim or something won't help. They have to look outside the job they are working on.
It depends on your personality. Some people (my wife is one, a guy I work with is another) just seem to let the stress take over. My wife has this client who was pushing her to deliver work on an impossible schedule so she is up to 3 AM working on CAD drawings and wrecking herself in the process. I keep saying its not worth killing yourself over it. Life will go on without that client. But she keeps trying to deliver.
Other people know when to let the breaker trip, and go home to sleep.

I read about this scientist working on X-Ray crystallography who got tapped on the shoulder by the IT web access cops because their keyword scanner picked up X-Rated in her browsing habits.
I haven't been to the US for 13 years so I wouldn't know. It did occur to me that this may have been a US originated flight, which was why it got special attention. Snakes in checked luggage are a totally different issue of course.
Yeah I saw this working in Malaysia once. The first team inspected carry on luggage. They checked out a bag of toys we had for my son because it was full of little bits of metal. The second (larger) team stood in the gate lounge watching all the passengers. No big deal for the majority who were dealing with their kids or catching up on work. But very hard for anybody with nothing to do except follow a script and hope the Guys with the Eyes hadn't caught on.
So total thrust at liftoff = 34 million N. (7.725 million pounds). Entire stack (orbiter, external tank, and SRBs) weighs 19.57 million N. (4.4 million pounds)
The mass ratio off the pad gives the vehicle a relatively gentle acceleration. 34/19.5 gives 1.7g but 1g is used just to keep the vehicle in the air. 0.7g relative to the ground is pretty good (better than most cars for example) but much less than 3g which is the maximum acceleration of the stack.
Pressing the delete button does not necessarily go anything. I could write a script on my android phone to snaffle all new photos so the delete function only gets the original file. This might also be possible on newer, hackable cameras. Then there is FS level undelete.
Mercury had solid rocket motors for the deorbit burn, but you would never want to stop that burn half way. The Shuttle can dump the SRBs during launch (taking a big risk of being fried as they fly away) but if one SRB fires more than 100ms after the other SRB on the pad its all over for the orbiter and the crew.

You know, that used to sound like a really stupid idea. Now I am not so sure.

No doubt both sides would outsource BEAR remote control to the same big company on the outskirts of Mumbai...

"Before I treat you, please confirm you are not openly gay."
You are not supposed to ask that.
how would you distinguish a Taliban medic? Do they wear Red Cross armbands?
Red crescent more likely.
I envisaged something which you would ride inside protected somewhat from hazards. I don't see the benefit in looking a bit like a human.

All the birds in Kuwait are covered up and not worth photographing.
And why each matched pair of SRBs are poured simultaneously from the same source of fuel. I bet they don't let you smoke while that is going on.
I wonder if the shuttle could even get off the pad without SRB's?
No. It barely makes it off the pad with all engines running.
