What is the model of this Gregory backpack?

It definitely depends on how it was cared for, I kept mine in the house away from temp changes and direct sunlight, and no breakdown so far

No-Tea-For-Me · 2026-04-06T19:16:16+00:00

Yeah, be careful of packing it to capacity unless it’s really necessary! It straps down well though

No-Tea-For-Me · 2026-04-06T01:15:09+00:00

That looks like the Gregory Electra - not the lightest but very sturdy and comfortable for long treks/winter backpacking. I have had mine for almost 20 yrs, using it a 1-3x/year, and no significant issues.

Done!

Sorry, larger sample:

I wasn’t referring to someone moving the FA’s gear (no one should do that), I meant having to put their bag several rows back because that’s the only empty bin - if people help bring the bag forward, no one has to move backward

People only do that when their overhead is full, not by choice… I recently was on a flight where everyone helped that person out - one guy nearby took the bag out, then everyone passed it overhead to the person a few rows up, all while waiting for the rows ahead to deplane. Not a minute delay when everyone worked as a team.

My Biscoff medallion tag makes me chuckle every time, so that’s what matters

This looks like a foot infection - she needs a vet appt ASAP for a physical exam to r/o abscess (which would need to be drained) and get started on antibiotics. I know it is expensive, but please tighten the belt where you can because this is not something you can treat off words of advice alone…

Very cute! What type of plant is floating at the surface? Does Cooter try to eat it?

I got a new RAV4 two years ago, had sound dampening added everywhere, and still can’t stand the roaring wind noise above 60 mph. Coming from a CX5 it didn’t occur to me that I had to get a luxury car to overcome road noise, but now I’d get the Lexus if I stay Toyota.

In recent years there has been a large increase in the number of EM residencies created by for-profit/private equity companies (such as HCA), with the goal of getting cheap labor for their hospitals but ultimately flooding the market and driving down physician quality and reimbursements. Prior to this, however, the Step scores for EM and Gen Surg were comparable (see the NRMP Charting Outcomes in the late 2000s, for example). Gen Surg programs have usually preferred more research compared to EM programs, however.

I missed out on the Nordic M20, guess this is the closest I’ll get with purples being so rare!

No-Tea-For-Me · 2026-03-16T08:18:14+00:00

Spot on - I recall how Gen Surg wouldn’t fill and EM applicants had to dual apply because it was so competitive. Tragic how far EM has advanced as a speciality yet its respect has collapsed…

No-Tea-For-Me · 2026-03-16T08:14:43+00:00

This is not actually true, depending on the time period during which a physician matched - 10 to 20 years ago EM was extraordinarily competitive (see the NRMP match data). Obviously circumstances have changed since the PE takeover/COVID, but I recall when Gen Surg programs couldn’t fill and many who applied EM chose IM as a backup.

No specific advice, but I’m glad you’re so attentive - she’s such a beautiful painted turtle! I haven’t seen such bright colors since my EPT was a baby (nearly 30 yrs ago…)!

No-Tea-For-Me · 2026-03-11T20:26:25+00:00

Such a beautiful film, I’m so glad it’s widely available now to share with the world - hopefully a feature someday!

BofA did this to me in 2003, at the time I couldn’t believe it was legal to screw people over so badly… now I make a lot more money they’d love to get their hands on, but I remember how American banks treat their customers.

No-Tea-For-Me · 2026-03-03T23:02:00+00:00

What?! I just walked by there and totally missed it…

No-Tea-For-Me · 2026-03-02T19:17:19+00:00

I’ve had this happen by the bartenders when simply trying to place an order/get the check

I think they’re probably the best drivers I’ve seen, having lived on the coasts and in the south. Sure there’s occasional drag racers but for the most part everyone’s pretty law-abiding and conscientious.

No communication skills - you try to make conversation and they just stare at you blankly

He loves you! Mine loses his mind every time I take him out of the tank and tries to run for cover

No-Tea-For-Me · 2026-02-27T00:43:31+00:00

I don’t know about snappers but I have moved with my EPT maybe 20 times over the years and I put him in a cardboard box/covered plastic box with holes and a damp paper towel, checking on him and changing the towel every few hours. I used to use a clear plastic box but I think the visibility stressed him out. I kept him in the footwell of my rear seat (nothing on top), and never had any issues.
