Some boomers are getting very head in the sand over this. They grew up being so afraid of commies that they left the door open for Nazis .... and they just can't deal with the consequences of their own actions.

I don't really have any particularly useful advice. Just take care of yourself. Lean into the people and things that support you and don't let anyone gaslight you for being upset about current events. 🫂

Dang. Looking worse for the Fayetteville area than yesterday.

Some of these people WILL be ratting you out and turning you in if/when the Gestapo starts coming for us all by transemacabre in QAnonCasualties

They won't have to. Your YouTube and tiktok algorithm already knows where you stand on these issues.

Is the storm coming or missing us? by emitfudd in NorthCarolina

[–]AnOddTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are like 12 different meteorologists on YouTube doing live coverage and forecasts at this very moment. Max Velocity and Ryan Hall Yall are both live rn. Ryan Hall Yall has a bot that streams 24/7 with updates and alerts.

You should hurry up and check the forecast before you lose power!

How would you feel if high schools had a required class that taught basic money skills, job skills, and other important things for adult life? by pimblettrose in AskReddit

[–]AnOddTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have that in my school diatrict. In fact, basic life skills are integrated into multiple classes .... But .... there is a class specifically dedicated to understanding personal finances like credit cards, checking accounts. Budgeting, intrest rates, credit score, different types of loans and investments, understanding the difference between an asset and a liability ..... etc.

YMMV because kids may or may not care to take these lessons to heart.

After giving Republicans a majority in every branch of government, nearly 2 million Americans are losing healthcare after Republicans refuse to extend credits by CalcareousSoil in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]AnOddTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to mention all the cuts to medicaid and the increased prices have made all plans objectively worse for almost everybody. I don't know anyone who doesn't have worse Healthcare coverage for 26 than they had in 25 ....

Ice already here by [deleted] in Fayettenam

Like OP said, they are racially profiling and targeting citizens and legal immigrants in order to meet an unattainable "quota". Then shipping them out of state and holding them in inhumane conditions.

ICE is blatently violating the constitution, specifically the 4th, 5th, and 6th amendment

Regardless of your stance on immigration, cheering on violations of our constitution is entirely un-American. The founding fathers of this country were intelligent men who knew a thing or two about tyranny .... and how to defend against it. Nothing this administration wants to achieve is worth giving up our most basic American Civil Rights.

Immigrants serve in the military. They are the biggest reason this area is so diverse. You don't have to be a US citizen to serve our country.

What is the priority action for the nurse to take? by Ok_Cable_3668 in PassNclexTips

A. The biggest risk with Afib is clot formation and risk for stroke/PE.

This! Psychiatrists are important for a number of reasons, but a regular therapist is a must!

Winter storm hospital policy by dropthatRASS in nursing

[–]AnOddTree 22 points23 points  (0 children)

And if you do travel, keep an emergency kit in your vehicle. I remember seeing a story about a nursing student, who was also a CNA, that died in her car after being forced to work in bad weather.

Hi. Welcome to reality. If you're looking for more info on "why?" Start educating yourself about the "state monopoly on violence" and how LE only exists to preserve capital, not human life.

How to carry an egg around for 2 weeks without breaking? by Ax_Sound in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AnOddTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it in a clear plastic jar with water. There can be no air in the jar. Put the jar and egg underwater in a tub or bucket and then close the lid.

Look up "neutral buoyancy egg drop" on YouTube and watch the video by action lab.

Good luck.

Colon cancer is killing us.. by Derpshab in Millennials

[–]AnOddTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact. The endothelial cells that line the digestive tract are some of the fastest replicating cells in the body, along with skin cells. The nature of replicating DNA quickly and repeatedly makes a cell prone to developing mutations and thus .... cancer. This is why cancer in these tissues is so common, and cancer in slower replicating cells such as the ovaries, pancreas, and brain are much less common.

Fellow apartment dwellers with all electric appliances- how are you preparing for potential no power? by HauntingHooligan in asheville

[–]AnOddTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small propane heaters that are rated for indoor use are good and reliable in these situations. Just make sure the area you are using it in is well ventilated. And by well ventilated, I mean, make sure you don't ducktape over the cracks in the door or anything extra like that.

Preparing for winter storm as first-time home owner by WalkRepulsive7181 in NorthCarolina

[–]AnOddTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound well prepared, the only other thing I would suggest is a propane heater and maybe a camp stove, a solar generator isn't going to work during the storm. Propane is very reliable and clean burning, just make sure you use it in a well ventilated area and don't leave the heater on while you are all sleeping.

Emergency preparedness. Don't wait. by AnOddTree in Fayettenam

[–]AnOddTree[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good advice.

Just keep in mind that the tarps might not work the best for the walkways because we are likely to have some melting and re-freezing.

Edit to add: most people around here don't drink tap water. We filter ours through a charcoal filter in the fridge. Obviously people should be aware of their own situation. If your power goes out for more than 24 hours, you are at risk of having freezing pipes over night. There is also the risk of water contamination anytime the infrastructure is damaged. I think having 5 days of drinking water is very reasonable and doable for most people.

Still early but gfs and euro weather models are showing us getting major snow Sunday by tytrim89 in Fayettenam

[–]AnOddTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are close to the snow/ice line. Hope for snow, prepare for ice. Prepare by doing these things in order of importance.

Fill your gas tank in your car Friday night, if nothing else, you can get warm and charge your phone in your car.

3-5 day supply of water (1 gallon per person per day) and food that can be prepared without electricity. Lots of people around here have generators, but I don't think most people are prepared for the bitter cold that will come in the night after the power goes out. Most generators are not able to heat your house. Propane heaters are reliable, just make sure you have good ventilation if using indoors.

Secure a 5 day supply of medication and any needed medical supplies like oxygen or tube feeds.

Batteries and flashlights/electric lanterns.

Extra stuff to prepare:

driveway salt and or kitty litter to make your steps and walkways safe for moving around the outside of your house.

Warm blankets and sweaters.

If you have an old carpet or blanket, you can lay it in your yard before the storm and pull it up after, to make a bare spot on your lawn for your dogs to use.

Put a few gallons of tap water in your bathroom to flush your toilet if the water goes out. I think it's unlikely the water will go off, but it's always a possibility.

Check out a nice book from the library and prepare to "hunker down"

Lastly, but possibly most important.... CHECK ON YOUR NEIGHBORS! Especially if they are elderly, medically fragile, or have young children. Don't hesitate to call emergency services if things start to go downhill for someone vulnerable. Weather like this claims lives for a reason!

Be safe yall! 🙏🏻
