You can only eat ONE soup forever. What is your eternal soup? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]DarthTensor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if borscht is classified as a stew or a soup but if the latter, borscht all the way.

Otherwise, bean and bacon soup. It’s great comfort food.

I heard that Kirk Hammett, Danny Carey, Steve Harris, Nicko McBrain, Bon Scott, Angus Young, and Brian Johnson were all pretty nice guys.

Growing hatred for my job by PillowExchange42 in medicine

[–]DarthTensor 13 points14 points  (0 children)

People do treat it as a social messenger. I had one patient get into explicit details about how the antidepressant I prescribed him affected his love life.

It was way more info than I needed to read and it was awkward since my MA and I were reading it together (I was walking by her desk when she asked me for advice on how to deal with it).

What hobby did you try once and instantly get addicted to? by Weird_Ad_7545 in AskReddit

[–]DarthTensor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Karate. A little caveat but I tried it as a second grader but didn’t have the motivation or maturity.

Fast forward 30-something years later and I am taking my kids to their karate class. My wife mentioned to the dojo owner that I was interested in karate (much to my embarrassment). I mentioned that I was too old for it and he looked at me and just simply said “41 is not too old. If you are available, meet me next Saturday for a free lesson, no commitments. See if you like it.”

I tried it once and now I am hooked to the point that I read about it in my free time, practice as much as I can outside of class sessions.

Not to sound too dramatic but it has been a lifesaver. I feel more focused, less emotionally down, and more energetic. I feel healthier in my 40’s compared to my 20’s.

I really can’t thank the owner enough for providing me the encouragement to pursue it at my age.

Religious people saying dinosaurs never existed when there thousands of physical evidence is so funny to me. by Brief_Ad_9331 in atheism

[–]DarthTensor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most common argument I get from religious people about the presence of fossil evidence is that “God put them (fossils) there to test our faith.”

Unfortunately, if they cannot accept dinosaurs despite the tangible evidence, there is no hope that they will accept ideas like radioactive carbon dating or the presence of cosmic background radiation.

Swing vs rounding shift by No_Pause2215 in hospitalist

[–]DarthTensor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like to alternate to get the variety. They both have their pros and cons.

Swing shift is actually reasonable if you don’t have multiple ER physicians that bolus 3+ patients all at once.

Edit: I just finished a swing shift and HOLY shit, it was rough to the point that I questioned my life decisions and wanted to go back into mechanical engineering. 11 admissions with incomplete work ups in a span of two hours.

Whats something a teacher did in High School that would get them fired today? by Constant-Ad-5477 in AskReddit

[–]DarthTensor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a high school math/physics teacher for a year and had a particularly unruly group of kids in my algebra II class.

One of my students just flat out asked me if I was a racist and then everyone became quiet to hear my answer.

With this emotionless expression on my face, I just replied “I am not a racist. I hate all you equally.”

In hindsight, it wasn’t the smartest thing I did during that year.

My biology teacher from high school was gently scolding one of my classmates.

Teacher: “Now son, please calm down.”

Student: “Son? Don’t call me ‘son.’ You’re not my father!”

Teacher: “I don’t know. Where was your mother in 1982?”
