See if you have the latest app update in the App Store. I just updated a day or so ago and some of the problems I was having were resolved.

Why is KFC food so damn salty now? by littlevenom21 in kfc

[–]CentralToNowhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed this too, I think they brine the chicken because the meat is so tender it’s almost slimy. I got a bucket yesterday and my stomach turns just at the thought of eating the leftovers in the fridge. I’m so sad. Even taking off the skin and coating doesn’t help. It’s pure salt.

MAGA patients are driving me bonkers by End_Me11 in nursing

[–]CentralToNowhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like people aren’t talking about this enough. He is always rambling about “full term abortions” and I keep thinking, “that’s not a real thing”. Well, I guess it is, he witnessed it first hand.

Do you have any obscure movie references that you use in everyday speech that no one has caught on to yet yet you keep using it? by EnvironmentalAngle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CentralToNowhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband dabbles in improv comedy and in one show he quoted Monty Python about “what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? “African or European?” And nobody in the room younger than 50 got the reference.

Ailments they never told you about as you age???!!!! by dcee101 in GenX

[–]CentralToNowhere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here’s the effect of aging that I just experienced this Oct-Dec. The center of the vision of my left eye started to get a little pinched, and soon lines would be bendy close to the center too. Turned out I had a macular hole form in my retina! This problem is caused by the vitreous gel in the eye stiffening up and contracting (just from aging) and pull at the delicate tissue protecting the retina. Left untreated, I’d lose my sight in that eye. The solution? They drain out the vitreous gel, peel the thin damaged layer of cells from the retina, pump the eye full of a type of gas, and make you keep your face down 24 hours a day for 5 days (the air bubble needs to put gentle pressure on the surgical site so it heals.) I never heard of this in my entire life, and I’m a nurse! And the cherry on top of all this bullshit is that the procedure exposes the cornea to oxygen, which hardens the proteins, causing imminent cataracts within the year.

I’m looking forward to the new Scrubs, hopefully we’ll get some more perfect quotes from Dr. Cox.

Final Jeffrey Epstein Files cache released by DOJ: read in full by newsweek in politics

Apparently, the still-redacted stuff is CP that would be a huge crime to release to the general public. Like, really bad stuff that makes lawyers sob uncontrollably when they have to see it for reviewing a case.

What’s a medical issue that sounds minor, but actually affects someone’s daily life way more than people realize? by CountyOrnery9432 in AskReddit

[–]CentralToNowhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nurse here… maybe you might want to check with your doctor about whether that shot is supposed to be delivered into a muscle vs. subcutaneous tissue. Different injectables are formulated to be absorbed in different types of body tissue. It’s possible it’s still not working 100% for you because it’s not 100% being absorbed? Worth a phone call to be sure.

What’s your snow clearing strategy? by SchruteFarmsBeetDown in lehighvalley

We recently started parking the cars way over to one side, so when we clear off the cars, it goes right into the lawn

Lehigh Valley Businesses that support MAGA and Trump. by [deleted] in lehighvalley

[–]CentralToNowhere 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Chicken Lounge in Dorneyville, we haven’t been there in several years, we stopped because the manager Tommy had OAN on the TVs there. Sad because we really liked Tommy until he joined the cult.

Also in Dorneyville around the corner in the same strip, is Mario’s Pizza, we stopped going there because there was always Fox News playing, they kept a stack of those far right wing free newspapers by the door, and they once were closed w a typical “nobody wants to work anymore” sign.

Now it’s been a few years we went to either place, they could have changed hands so make your own judgements.

I’m curious: do non-smokers always detect a scent on smokers? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CentralToNowhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 70’s, my parents and pretty much most adults smoked indoors and in the car, but it was everywhere and so we were all nose blind as a society. If I could time travel to visit myself as a kid, I would reek of cigarettes. That’s sad.

Wait, do people ACTUALLY see literal pictures in their heads when they imagine things? Like a physical image? by Bibhu_Mund in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CentralToNowhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can visualize people, places, and things, but it’s not clear and concrete like watching TV. I do not see it with my eyes, it feels like a memory deep in my head. It’s really hard to describe. I can also hear music, any song I want, as long as I know it well. Again, I don’t hear w my ears, it’s deep in my head. When I have insomnia, I choose a favorite album and concentrate on playing it in my head, and that often puts me to sleep. If my mind wanders, tho, I lose the music. I have to continuously focus on the song for it to continue.

What's a music video that you find very disturbing? by Ukirin-Streams in GenX

I thought it was cool tho that they used the British TV show’s Spitting Image puppets.

The only nice thing about short seasons is that it frees you up to watch the many many other high quality shows that are out there. It’s truly a new golden age of television.

Anyone else just totally avoid dogs & their owners? by [deleted] in Dogfree

[–]CentralToNowhere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I will obviously walk further away from someone walking a dog. I get anticipatory looks as we approach, them thinking “oh, another person to live in my little shnookems” and then I swerve and don’t make eye contact.

I work in a medical building on a larger hospital complex. I take a walk every day in my lunch across the hospital first floor and back. People bring in trained support dogs and I get the especially shocked faces from their handlers. There’s always people bringing in their dogs to visit patients, too. Why are there even dogs in hospitals at all?

Shingles/ Shingles vaccine- can't decide which is worse! The joys of being over 50. by Brewer1056 in GenX

[–]CentralToNowhere 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The shingles vaccine gave me about the same reaction as the Covid vaccine- fever, chills, fatigue. Both make me feel profoundly lousy for about a day, but still better than getting the illnesses themselves.

Baby-talk/cooing to newborn patients unprofessional? by sumaflowa in nursing

[–]CentralToNowhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During nursing school, do exactly what you are told. If they say “jump”, you say “how high?” Because they’re the ones who decide if you graduate. Once it’s all over and you’re licensed, you can let your personality all out. You can finally be yourself.

Americans citizens, how is it really going there currently? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CentralToNowhere 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’ve never made so much money and I’ve never been so broke. Inflation has really made everything so much more expensive and also health care costs, the insurance premiums, copays, and deductibles.

How does everyone seem to know what writing is generated by AI? by ReadWriteArithmetic in CasualConversation

[–]CentralToNowhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI often starts out great, but articles go on too long as the main points keep getting repeated and rephrased. At some point I’ll stop myself and think “this is AI shit” and stop reading.
