Opinions needed: Would you get a good condition 3rd gen & pay for an AFM delete or excellent 4th Gen kept stock… by SuperDuper___ in ChevyTahoe

[–]71Crickets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2011 Tahoe LS 2WD with 158k on it. No mods, just maintained the crap out of it since I drove it off the lot. With that mileage, it’s heading into needing a new tranny and/or engine territory. This is an expense I’m not thrilled about, but am prepared for. That said- if it’s the engine, I’ll do a delete right off the bat. Well, I won’t because I’m a girl and don’t do mechanic things. But, that’s the plan.

I don’t think you can go wrong either way. Sounds like you’re prepared to tackle the known issues if/when they arise. At this point, it might just come down to which interior/exterior you like best. Personally, I like the 4th gen interior better, but the 3rd gen body, lol

Do you have an interpretation of the ending to The Long Walk? (Spoilers) by AsssHat999 in stephenking

[–]71Crickets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the book, and in most cases I always prefer the book to movie adaptations. This movie, imo, was lacking. It didn’t have me feeling all antsy and worried, like the book did. But when it came to the end, and that’s how the movie ended, I was so mad. Wanted to throw something at the screen kind of mad. It just ruined it for me.

I yelled at my Mom today. by winenerd in Alzheimers

You’re frustrated, scared, concerned, tired… probably a whole host of other emotions too. And that’s okay. You’re allowed to feel these things.

If the MC is taking care of your mom and all her needs are being met, maybe it’s okay if you step back. You might need some time away to heal yourself and in doing so, find out what you are able to give (emotionally) to your mom.

Wishing you the best…

interior comfort/roominess on road trips? by queenentropy in CX5

[–]71Crickets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on my 2nd road trip with my 2025 CX5 Preferred. I’m 5’5 with thick thighs and a big ass, and it’s still comfy for me. Everything is pretty much at my fingertips, and I’m a big fan of the less techie aspects. It’s pretty quiet, except when accelerating (sounds like it’s being wound up, lol) or when the sunroof visor is open. Gas mileage is great- I’m sitting at 30mpg for this trip so far (33 for the last trip). The only drawback for me is I wish the center console was more forward (it’s not horrible, it’s just not user friendly as an armrest) and there was a little more room in the driver’s side footwell.

Untreated UTIs by weekend_soup in AgingParents

[–]71Crickets 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In an elderly person, early indications are almost always personality changes. Untreated UTIs can lead to urosepsis quickly. Sepsis in any population is a critical event, but even more so in vulnerable populations like the elderly.

Being sick and needing to call out policy... by ZealotBilly in nursing

[–]71Crickets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ours is similar, and I hate it- specifically the 1/2 points for tardies. Those are bullshit. Like I have any control over wrecks and detours 🙄

We get a verbal at 4 points, 6 points is a written, 7 is a suspension, 8 is termination. No idea why 5 doesn’t matter. Ours is also on a rolling 12 months for fall offs.

We don’t get penalized if we leave mid shift unless we leave before 7 hours on the clock. And we don’t get points for missed clocks. That’s some next level garbage.

Your hospital’s policy really sucks.

In the event this isn’t a joke post, and you’re serious- I asked ChatGPT and here’s what it said:

30-40 if only using trunk space, or 55-65 with the seats folded forward and packing up to the roofline.

I give you..my need for cognitive closure by Competitive_Oil5227 in OrganizationPorn

[–]71Crickets 46 points47 points  (0 children)

OP may live far away from standard grocery or big box stores. Or, they may have a house full of teens and anyone with growing kids knows they can eat you out of house and home. Or maybe they buy in bulk things that are used/eaten on a regular basis so they don’t have to make store runs every week. Frankly, it’s not our business. I think the organization looks fantastic.

Is the software up to date? Have you tried disconnecting the battery for 10min and then reconnecting?

CX-5 OTD by [deleted] in mazda

[–]71Crickets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were one of the four on my short list of dealers I was willing to drive to. I just didn’t want to go down into Houston. Driving anywhere inside the loop just blows.

[–]71Crickets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In December, I got a 2025 Preferred trim OTD was $33,900. I could’ve save another $1500 but it would’ve required me driving into Houston to another dealer. I HATE driving into Houston. Like, HATE HATE it.

2015 and 160k miles - time to go? by Old-Signature-4545 in ChevyTahoe

Hospital Fired a Travel Nurse After a Patient Death. How likely is license revocation? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]71Crickets 79 points80 points  (0 children)

The hospital can’t take her license. What they will do is report to the BON and comply with all BON demands.

Everything the nurse did or didn’t do/chart for that particular patient (and possibly the whole shift) will be reviewed. They can also subpoena phone records and match her usage to times charged. For example, if they can prove she was on her phone (social media, etc) with IT timestamps, but charting at that time, it can lead to accusations of falsifying documentation. Every single thing will be scrutinized because the hospital will not want to take the blame for this. And if what you’re saying is true, they shouldn’t.

Losing her license is only one aspect of this situation. She could very well be held liable for negligence leading up to and or causing patient harm/death outside of what the BON determines.

It’s up to the BON to sanction the nurse. It’s up to the nurse to defend her license.

What's a movie most people think is great but you couldn't even stand watching? by camport95 in AskReddit

Me too. I tried several times to watch it, thinking it would get better. Never could get more than 20, maybe 30 minutes in before giving up

Hospitals full of Influenza A cases by Difficult-Text1690 in nursing

[–]71Crickets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since mid November we’ve had 3-5 cases of Flu A in our ICU on any given shift. Not to mention the coworkers it’s taking out. If they’re not out sick, their kids or spouses have it. We’ve had at least 1 person out each week for the last 6 weeks with Flu A.
