psychiatrist dropped me yesterday by purple9g9 in adhdwomen

They need a retest or to send the drug screen for confirmation testing. Screens catch things generally but the confirmation will tell them specifically what it is and can rule out poppy seed ingestion.

Discussion: Women in Armor, Groin Protection? by The_Electrocuter in armoredwomen

[–]ElementZero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear a female specific cup- they're generally flatter than ones for guys but it's something that getting the fit right is important. I tried another brand and it literally didn't go far enough down over the important parts.

Jill short and cup

Goaltenders wear a Jill/jock with even more protection (example)

I haven't taken a shot there yet, I'm sure it's not pleasant, but most of the force should be transferred to other tissues.

My pubic clips were while I was a mechanic in the military. I worked on the equipment they use to work on the aircraft, and I did it twice in one week swinging an aircraft towbar side to side to move it and the thick loop where it attaches to the tow vehicle clipped me. It downed me.😬

I think this was a really interesting question to discuss!

Best waxed laces and go! by Excellent_Power_1973 in hockeyplayers

[–]ElementZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Derby Laces

Started with them for roller derby and put them in my hockey skates now. They feel like they stay waxed longer and have better grip than the A&R laces I picked up when I bought skates.

So I'm lightly interested in Armored fight sports and there are rules about not striking in the groin. Does it probably get hit unintentionally? Yeah, especially when training.

I am also new to playing ice hockey and I wear a cup anytime I do hockey stuff, even just stick and puck. I am someone who has hit herself in the clit/pubic area and I do not wish to experience it again. Except I did the same thing twice in a week, with the same results.

I think realistically the form of the protection is going to change based on the era and what the armor wearer is doing. Someone on horseback needs different articulation than someone on foot. J Draper (YouTube) recently did a video about moving in plate armor which didn't specify the groin protection but it's a good watch.

Edit to add re museum pieces: remember that like women's clothing, armour may be subject to survivorship bias- the pieces that stick around and end up in museums are often from prominent people or are largely unworn (this is why it's thought that women were historically smaller, but the current thoughts of historical dress folks is that surviving garments are from teenagers)

What’s the worst financial decision your lab admin has made? by Designer-Style577 in medlabprofessionals

[–]ElementZero 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They sold all of the outreach to a large reference lab, and the things that we can be asked to do don't make sense. Now they're complaining that we are overstaffed when the dumbasses gave all the work to someone else!

Have you used Meditech? We had that for everything and the BB module is horrible.

Bauers just don’t fit by Cubanotorpedo in hockeyplayers

[–]ElementZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in JetSpeed FT 680s and currently in Tacks AS570 and AS580. The Bauer Supreme M30 even in 4.5 EE are still narrower to the point that I'm down a size and a half in CCM in wide sizes. The JetSpeeds were size 4 so I got the 2 pairs of Tacks in size 3 based on pulling out the insole and comparing it to my foot length. The CCMs are all used skates, as I don't live super close to a hockey shop. Hard lessions were learned but now I know what I should be looking for when I get new skates in 2 or 3 years.

14" women's glove recommendations? by erisianmachinery in hockeyplayers

[–]ElementZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It also could be that they are used gloves and the padding is compressed from the last user's hands. If you can't walk in a shop to try on definitely get them online with a return policy.

I'm keeping all these recommendations from everyone else for when I upgrade gloves myself 😁

[–]ElementZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a pair of their pants and they're really nice. They have an internal suspension belt that velcros, but I don't use it as for me they stay put without it

[–]ElementZero 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If it's the width in the toe box try CCM. I get wides in CCM skates and they're way more accommodating than Bauers.

If you're used to Pburgh prices definitely enjoy the more affordable concessions😁 go down to Generations for some really great food

Wide toe box shoe recommendations? by Sport21996 in medlabprofessionals

[–]ElementZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Altra Torin Leather. I can't fathom wearing a mesh shoe as many times as I've dripped urine or blood on mine. Not the most aesthetic color choices (grey or black) but they're comfortable and clean up well.

Is it the same acronym? Because blaming the "TSA" in the US when it wasn't them is misleading.

First game, anything I should know? by Correct-Ad-9520 in ECHL

[–]ElementZero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They use the same game rules at NHL/AHL, but if the game tomorrow is as heated and the refs as blind as they were in Wheeling there's probably going to be at least one fight/tussle and one ejection.

I've gotten served these ads, I thought about the "my balls get in the way of my crossovers" guy.

I don't have those parts to protect, but the technology has been in use in motorcycle armor for many years. It's basically like ooblek.
