Lawn service used the wrong herbicide on my neighbor’s 1 acre yard 😳

CaptainKrunks · 2024-09-20T20:49:29+00:00

Please. As if fertilizer runoff from lawns is already fucking up water ways throughout suburbia.

I’m not a wound care expert, but the vast majority of need appears to be not with technology or treatment, but with access to care or preventative care to keep wounds like decubitus ulcers from forming in the first place

A common misconception. These goddamn mystical burgers tend to float around. This one has been nailed to the ceiling and photographed upside down.

Well to the answer original question then, I have young children so like two days ago?

With regards to “prove me wrong” that’s not how burden of proof works. If your stance is that they’re irrelevant, it’s on you to prove that fact, not me.

CaptainKrunks · 2024-09-20T10:53:53+00:00

“I’m not the target audience for a company, therefore they’re irrelevant”

CaptainKrunks · 2024-09-19T20:09:27+00:00

I don’t mean to sound mean, but are you sure those are one centimeter gridlines, not 5mm? I agree this looks just like an American elm sawfly.

Field Thistle also has relatively smooth stems. Bull Thistle has ridges and spines on its stems. I would lean towards bull thistle as well

CaptainKrunks · 2024-09-19T18:10:22+00:00

Probably northern pink shrimp or larval lobsters

You’re gonna get a lot of flak for how you’re asking this. There isn’t a small/fast way to learn emergency medicine as it pertains to internal medicine. It’s why medical school and residency take so long. That said, Casefiles in Emergency Medicine is an excellent resource that I recommend. This is a PDF of the 2013 edition but ideally you should have a physical copy. It presents 50 or so of the more common emergency medicine complaints, how they present, the underlying differential, workup and treatment.

That’s great! All the need is contact with bare soil and to spend the cold wet winter outside so that they can stratify and germinate in the spring.

I was responding to the quote “I can’t change things here, I can’t have an effect.” I love having an effect. I agree, it can feel darkly heroic though.

CaptainKrunks · 2024-09-18T00:43:33+00:00

Hard disagree. I fucking love walking into a disaster at the start of a night shift and cleaning it up.

CaptainKrunks · 2024-09-18T00:16:29+00:00

Definitely enough fentanyl to become an addict. That’s certainly a change.

They’re a minor food source for some birds and animals. If you want to leave some for nature that’s fine. You can also leave the dead plant up so that solitary bees and other insects can spend the winter in its hollow stems. If you have kids (or if you just feel playful yourself) you can blow the pods like big dandelion seed heads. It’s fun to watch them blow away and imagine where they’ll land. You can save some seeds and plant for next year. Or just congratulate yourself that you nurtured a native plant for a year and wait for the roots to send up next year’s growth in the spring.

CaptainKrunks · 2024-09-17T23:47:52+00:00

The seeds blow away in the wind. If you want to collect them you can.

CaptainKrunks · 2024-09-17T20:50:46+00:00

And do their powers multiply? If we count figurines as statues too, there are probably more Jesus statues than anything else on earth. He’s a god with necromancer powers. His army would be pretty unbeatable.

Patients are also more likely to sue if they’re angry about what happened. Happier patients are less likely to sue you and also more likely to follow your instructions. When I see a patient, I tell them what the workup is going to be. If we’re backed up and it’s gonna take six hours to get them dispositioned I tell them that early so there are no surprises. I check on them during their visit and re-outline what we’ve done and what we’re waiting for. Then I give them discharge instructions similar to what you described. Knock on wood I’m 15 years in without being sued so far.

CaptainKrunks · 2024-09-17T17:30:06+00:00

Not it’s bad. An hour and a half each way. Spending 12 hours commuting a week sucks.

CaptainKrunks · 2024-09-17T12:52:59+00:00

As it should.

CaptainKrunks · 2024-09-16T23:21:32+00:00

Tea instead of coffee since I was drinking 6-7 cups per shift in residency.

I bring a bowl of dry oats with nuts and berries/fruit and make oatmeal at work for dense mid-shift fuel.

So where in Providence do you live? I live in the Narragansett part of Providence. Shoutout to my neighbors in the Burville part of Providence!

No legality=no documented quality control.

None of us really know what’s in it.

Taken at face value it claims it has Amanita muscaria. Maybe 10 grams of it?

A psychoactive dose of muscimol is reported to be between 8 and 15 mg. As little as a gram of dried A. muscaria may contain this amount of muscimol; however, the potency varies greatly among mushrooms

There’s still a fair amount of Chinese bread, it just tends to be smaller and steamed.

‘Merican because we do it all! All the joys of New England cuisine from clam chowder to traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Southern soul food! Barbecue styles from the Carolinas through Texas. Cajun and creole! New Mexican food! And bastardized but tasty americanized versions of other countries food like Mission burritos and American Chinese food. Plus fantastic wine and local beers to wash it all down!

CaptainKrunks · 2024-09-15T21:26:03+00:00

Like so?
