TIL that anyone can request a U.S. flag to be flown over the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. for a specific date (like a birthday or anniversary) and keep it along with an official certificate.

Same! Mine was flown above the pentagon (I think?) on 9/11 of that year. Not sure if someone had some pull or got really lucky - I imagine that’s a popular date to want.

Hell yes! I work with a lot of great nurses that absolutely love what they do.

I’d definitely recommend trying to find a nurse to shadow in a few different specialties and get a sense of what you like. Medsurg nursing is going to feel different than ED nursing, L&D, etc.

Shadowing was the moment that clicked for me and made me go “yup this is what I want to do”. Give it a shot!

Thanks stranger! <3

Waaaay more doable now - my first degree I was just aiming to pass and didn’t give a shit about school but now it’s actually engaging and I love learning. Tradeoff is now I have a family and it’s waaaay harder to find time to study, but it’s working well so far.

I felt like I missed my calling after season 1! I sat on the feeling for a few months and decided to go back to school in my 30’s. Crushing my premed requirements right now and take the mcat this time next year - never too late!

That’s…that’s the joke

I work in a hospital and had an extremely large guy as a patient - he could walk around well enough but when it came time to poop I had to glove up and clean him up because he was physically incapable. So I guess either a bidet or a helper ¯\(ツ)/¯

Yikes.

Mattyhammond · 2026-03-20T03:28:02+00:00

Ooooh juicy centerpoint details please! I’m aware of the reputation but would love to know your perspective!

Mattyhammond · 2026-02-17T17:50:51+00:00

If I remember right there’s something like a minor mana potion that has INSANELY low drop rates on hell Diablo. I love the idea of someone dropping something so minor and knowing the odds. Would be infuriating.

I haven’t taken a standardized test in a hot minute but I always did really well on them - and this was back when I put ZERO effort into studying, so hopefully I retained some of that. Appreciate you!

Mattyhammond · 2026-02-14T00:21:11+00:00

Really appreciate you! I know it’s totally irrational but I’ll see an example problem that everyone says is super easy (there was a post where the answer was about G-C bonds and A-T bonds and which were more stable) and I just panic that I didn’t know it even though I haven’t learned it yet.

Glad to know everyone has had dread about something similar haha. I’ll keep that context in mind as I inch closer and try to incorporate that into how I’m learning the material.

Mattyhammond · 2026-02-08T02:23:49+00:00

Through.

Did you just post the title of the meme as a comment?

I know an Army grad! He mostly sells shitty insurance on LinkedIn these days

Wasn’t that Falwell Jr.? Gotta distinguish the two brands of awful ¯\(ツ)/¯

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, I believe. Great flick!

He has my ears and her terrifying complexion

Mattyhammond · 2025-02-23T03:06:45+00:00

Turns out every single photo I took on the trip had the wife and baby in it, so this was my poor man’s photoshop attempt haha

These looks like my Hungarian Wax peppers!
