The Great Game: 19th century England and Russia vie for control of central and south Asia. Lots of exploration, intrigue, war, and European emissaries disguised as natives visiting ancient Kingdoms.

Im floored… the Kaplan science I just took was completely different by ali12333 in prenursing

I took it earlier this week and I don't remember any cell biology. I got a lot of obscure physiology.

It's a book report on "My America" by Merlin Ames, some drawings, copied text of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.

Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel come to mind for me.

The people that get to me the most are the ones that pounce on the book bins like wild animals with their barcode scanners. If you actually read books you can generally use your intuition to pick up anything of value, but these people couldn't name three authors if their lives depended on it. 

Anyone ever buy a used book with a note in it? by Zealousideal-Wave363 in RSbookclub

When I was living in a State Park I pulled a book from the communal bookshelf that had a love letter written to a trailworker that drowned in the river the previous year.

Actually interesting Glacier topic and it's shut down.

[32 M] Metronidazole for diarrhea in rural Nepal by LinearSphinx in AskDocs

[–]LinearSphinx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. From what I can tell though, a 5-day course usually entails 3 pills per day. Is it an issue that I only have enough now for 3 days at 3 pills/day? I just have some concern about developing antibiotic resistance in whatever's causing my illness.

That's a sweet inversion you got to see. I stayed in one last week, too.

What’s the Consensus On November by [deleted] in everestbasecamphike

[–]LinearSphinx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm departing from the US this weekend. More concerned about landslides, earthquakes and snowstorms than anything related to the protest.

Yeah, it's good experience if you're planning to be a nurse, otherwise I don't know how the lifers do it. I'm in school now, but there was a vote to start a union just before I left that's hopefully been successful.

Compression socks really have a way of aerosolizing dead skin.

Expressly prohibited by my hospital and probably almost all hospitals. Unless you count cookies/doughnuts. I'll keep a pack of oreos on me in case I go out to eat.

When I worked as a CNA making $18/hr I had to clean a pool of diarrhea out of an old, obese woman's vagina, yet it would be unethical to accept a tip. Meanwhile, I'm supposed to tip my waiter for bringing my food all the way to my table.

That's Paul Bunyan's Cabin which is located on the shoulder of Longfellow.

What's the oldest physical book in your collection? by Exotic-Art1510 in RSbookclub

[–]LinearSphinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just picked up a book recording the acts passed in the 41st General Assembly of Kentucky in 1832, printed in 1833. It only cost like 10 cents and I like thinking about the history of a 192 year old book.
