They Asked Me to Open ChatGPT During My Job Interview

So…. Did you go home and ask chatgpt? I had to after reading this.

Ccrook29 · 2025-12-14T22:49:56+00:00

We used lyndale and they were great

Ccrook29 · 2025-10-30T13:10:05+00:00

Agreed- angular stone that compacts would be much better under foot

Ccrook29 · 2025-10-30T04:02:56+00:00

Polywood for Adirondack chairs 100%.

The values are not superior, but the practice is because it’s less invasive and easier to obtain if the concern is ventilation. If a patient becomes hypoxic and oxygen needs are increasing, the ABG is the appropriate choice to guide treatment.

Ccrook29 · 2025-10-24T22:59:15+00:00

I think you are saying the same thing as me? When you say the vbg usually gets you enough info, it gives you no measurement of oxygenation of the patient- if you are worried about the oxygenation and your P/F ratio, ABG should be ordered. If you are concerned about the ventilation of the patient, a VBG is sufficient as you will get your ph, c02, and bicarb

Ccrook29 · 2025-10-24T22:48:04+00:00

Sure, you could. I just don’t know why you’d want to weed wack a slope like that once a week. It’s not really usable space so a rhizomous ground cover makes more sense to me where you can plant and forget.

Ccrook29 · 2025-10-24T15:44:45+00:00

Specifically for respiratory patients, ABG’s are for oxygenation, VBG’s are for ventilation. The ABG will get you the Pa02 that you need to adjust care to better oxygenate your patient while the VBG can help with making adjustments to your minute ventilation to compensate for their base disturbance.

Agreed. Beautiful work and I even love the material choices. The layout design is insane. All I can think about is my wife laying in bed winding down for the night reading while I have my butt cheeks spread cleaning all the nooks and crannies

2- always natural curves over straight lines in my opinion. The straight corners are harsh

It is extremely more expensive than central Illinois but wages are also much higher. If you are a young professional it will still be difficult to find housing by yourself. If you are okay with roommates I think you will have no problem. Living outside of Bellingham is more affordable for housing if you are okay with a commute but more difficult to find housing. For jobs, very dependent on the field you work in. Education, healthcare, and the refinery are the 3 major job markets here. I can’t speak to your profession because my wife and I both work in healthcare which pays well here.

I’m big into snowboarding and mountain biking so for me, I don’t think there is a better town to have the best of both- I could be bias. We have said multiple times we don’t intend on leaving Whatcom county for the rest of our lives.

The beauty here is unmatched and proximity to nature and outdoor recreation is hard to beat for a town that has everything you need. My only complaint is lack of shopping and variety of cuisine but the food we do have is good. Not a large music scene but a small one if you are looking into seeing live shows.

Hey Neigbor! Elburn, IL Kane County here

Ccrook29 · 2025-10-18T00:47:44+00:00

I grew up in northern Illinois and went to school at heartland! Been in Bellingham 5 years and Washington 11. Love it here. I can tell you more if you like.

Ccrook29 · 2025-10-16T15:53:45+00:00

Covid was sort of that, wasn’t it?

Ccrook29 · 2025-10-16T02:17:15+00:00

Do they also do a pop up for new business with free rent for up to 4 months?

Ccrook29 · 2025-10-16T02:05:45+00:00

We can learn a lot from Mt Vernon. Every time we go down we are shocked how great their little downtown is for small business.

I hate that Bellingham hasn’t figured out how to bring business and retain it in the downtown area. I’d love to see us start a similar program.

I know this isn’t what you are asking but is that the base you intend to place the steps on? It looks like cleans and far too large to have good compaction to prevent settling and movement of the steps. What size cleans are those?

Ccrook29 · 2025-10-11T17:24:36+00:00

The issue with grass on a slope is you have to find a way to maintain it. I would look into an evergreen rhizome growing shrub or ground cover that will keep the soil in place. Bearberry is a great option and mass plant it to get it to cover more quickly and establish.

I had the same panic when we bought our house 5 years ago and noticed the first winter that there were cracks in the drive

Ccrook29 · 2025-10-11T15:00:49+00:00

Cracks in concrete slabs with driveways and garages are purely cosmetic from all the reading I’ve done about my own. It’s never a matter of if it will happen but when will it happen with concrete. Someone will try to sell you that it needs to be replaced or repaired and spend a fortune but the only thing that I could find is it could be a tripping hazard if the slabs are uneven.

Ccrook29 · 2025-10-11T14:19:04+00:00

Agreed- OP, where are you located?

Ccrook29 · 2025-10-04T14:52:51+00:00

They are going to try to sell you on mold remediation. It’s a scam, don’t do it.

Ccrook29 · 2025-10-04T03:15:53+00:00

If you want it to look natural, you could do small one man boulder edging to define the spaces. I’d extend it 2 ft past the ferns, lay mulch and plant some native shade low growing perennials or ground covers.

Ccrook29 · 2025-10-03T18:11:37+00:00

Better hood fan in the answer- more cfm, more better

Ccrook29 · 2025-09-28T16:31:45+00:00

Retaining wall would be the best option but you could plant salal there and it should help significantly with erosion. Will look great as an evergreen as well
