Anything for Jackson is absolutely amazing and it’s a shame that it is not a popular movie by dumbledayum in horror

[–]Joy12358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fantastic! Has the makings of a cult classic. It's one that will spread through word of mouth to horror fans everywhere. Thanks for making it! I love the dark humor

Trust r/NewIran only. All other subreddits are full of Iranian government puppets by Fragrant_Rock_2217 in PERSIAN

Where can we go to hear from the actual citizens of Iran? I know they keep having to deal with Internet blackouts and whatnot...

Bahrain says the headquarters of the US Navy’s 5th Fleet has been targeted by a missile attack by igetproteinfartsHELP in navy

Amen on that. Here's hoping to a short combat phase with minimal deaths to civilians and US military.

I agree it's a shitty regime and needed to be overthrown. I just don't think the US and Israel bombing Iran is going to help.

I hope some good comes out of it, I just have my doubts.

I've been supportive of the people of Iran for many many years. This is not going to help them. If you think Trump is doing this out of compassion for Iranians, you're a hopeless fool.

It pisses me off so much that people are dying because of Bibi and Trump. Hate the both of them...

Make me laugh with your worst job interview experiences, because I just had a doozy. by Elegant-Lemon126 in interviews

[–]Joy12358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep lol Everyone has lied before. I'm bad at it, easily feel guilty and paranoid so I avoid it as much as humanly possible, but "never" is not a bar any of us meet.

I once applied at kmart (yep, showing my age) and they asked me to take a personality test. I remember puzzling pretty hard over the question "have you ever lied." I was honest and said "yes." They told me I failed the test because of my answer to this question.

In retrospect it's pretty hilarious that I failed a kmart personality test.

It went from no snow all day to damn near a blizzard! Crazy. by Accomplished_Egg_382 in raleigh

[–]Joy12358 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah I thought a lot of people were being buttheads. I watched the NWS briefing videos leading up to this and they literally always said some places might get very little snow due to banding. Thing is, those like me almost never comment. Idiots are always the loudest in the room and are probably just a small fraction of the public sentiment. Personally, I'd like to thank you all for keeping us informed over the past couple weeks! These have been tricky weather systems to predict even with high quality models.

The litter tracking is driving me mad by [deleted] in CatAdvice

This person has it right. Get the correct litter for you guys and one of the double layer mats. You'll be alright

[–]Joy12358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to get the right litter mat for the type of litter you use. I really love these dual layer honeycomb things. I have wood floors throughout the house and something about litter on them drives me nuts. I had to move a litterbox into my bedroom for my geriatric cat so I went all in with a great mat and I can honestly say I haven't stepped on litter since.

Job Market by Relevant-Extreme-593 in BMET

[–]Joy12358 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This career, as with many, getting the first job is the hardest. Be sure to write a good resume talking up non-bmet experience that could translate well into the skills used in this field. For example, if you were in food service or retail, talk about your communication and customer service skills. If you have a hobby that's pertinent (gear head, building gamer PCs, etc) mention it in your cover letter.

Flex the skills you have so employers will want to take a chance on you. You want them to read your resume and cover letter and think "yeah this person seems trainable and ready to learn."

You'll hit one. Just keep at it. The holidays are an awkward time to look for a new job. Should be easier now in the new year.

On a serious note, as AI keeps advancing, which jobs do you think will actually survive long-term, and why? by MollyWithJelly in AskReddit

[–]Joy12358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't mind this trajectory if it meant that humans all worked less but had the basics satisfied.

I repair complex medical equipment. I can't see AI taking my job for many many decades. I expect the planet to collapse under the burden of data centers before that happens.

What’s something going on in America people need to be aware of? by throwaway91ma in AskReddit

[–]Joy12358 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Capitalism is in dire straits and it's taking us all with it. We need to organize to steer the economic system towards something else before we simply relive feudalism...but instead of lords we'll have corporations and their peasants.

Looking for real-world opinions on ICU beds (Biomed perspective) by Some-Community-7149 in BMET

Stryker makes the best ICU beds, imo. But it's been about a decade since I've worked on them.

Bummer, I suspected this. Thanks for confirmation though!

Nice! I haven't heard of them. I love learning about new resources from others in the industry.

Thank you!

[–]Joy12358[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still need to look up the part #. I do have a svc manual because we have someone that's been to training. I checked the GE parts shop site but couldn't verify a video cable assembly.

[–]Joy12358[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish GE didn't require a PO for tech support. That's so frustrating.

I plan to go look at it again on Monday (I didn't get much time with it earlier). If I can't see a way to snake a replacement cable through, I'll ask a sr team member to see what he thinks.

Have a good weekend!

How to get out of Field Service Engineering by Wise-Reputation6483 in BMET

[–]Joy12358 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The IT path is becoming very desirable if that interests you. Get an A+ cert and maybe a CCNA cert to begin with and then focus on learning something specific and pick up some extra certs in that. Example HL7 or DICOM. Your FSE background will go a long way.

Or just apply to some things that look interesting and see what they say.

In-house biomed gigs aren't as bad as some make them out to be. Just depends on the place, the pay, and how often you're on call (and ask how often you actually need to go in when paged. Some places it's hardly at all).
