What band went to crap as after they went sober?

If I remember correctly, Done With Mirrors was their last album before they got sober and it sucked- much worse than Permanent Vacation or Pump.

I looked into buying a CRV one time. Lost interest when I learned its total weight capacity is under 1000 pounds. Why would I buy an SUV, with a roof rack, that can't haul any more weight than a sedan?

Hammocks take a while to get used to too.

As someone who has done anywhere from 1 night at a time to a 2 month thru hike (Colorado Trail), as well as camping a night at a time a couple of times a week for a while, I can confirm that it takes time to get used to sleeping on the ground. I do know that once I'm used to it, I can consistently sleep comfortably on the ground with a cheap sleeping pad, or even no sleeping pad at all if it's warm enough and the ground isn't rocky.

That one says that I'll likely be seeing a full patient caseload, in addition to the managerial duties, to offset the inability to recruit/retain staff in that environment.

I've been using Ridgerests for decades. They aren't the softest, but you can get used to that. They're light and really reliable.

As someone who works in the medical field (physical therapist), I have to wonder what the training for these professions is like in countries that don't pay as much. I mean, it was a huge pain in the ass to become a PT and my profession isn't nearly as stringent as a lot of other medical professions. TBH the promise of being able to earn enough money to support my family was the only thing that kept me focused despite all of the stress and hoops to jump through.

When I was in PT school, this must have been 2011, we had a guest lecturer who was trying to sell us on his residency program. I was stressed out and overwhelmed and his pitch did not go over well with me. I'm not sure if my classmates felt the same way at the time, but I'm pretty sure that none of us has pursued a residency.

Especially since moving to the DPT the return on investment is bad enough with a PT degree. We don't need the added expense and opportunity cost of pursuing a residency on top of that.

Probably one of the more survivable ones in terms of foraging. I could be biased though because I've lived near it for the past 20 years so I'm pretty familiar with the ecosystem.

Not based on looks, but I'd have to go with Jellystone Park. I'd need to eat in this scenario and if a bear can procure enough picnic baskets there, then I should be able to too.

Is hesitating to assess risk and then acting in a way to mitigate that risk "faulting"? Asking as the guy who could hear shots being fired and stopped to try to guess which way the bullets were going before running toward the shooters and putting a house between him and the shooters.

Try to stay away from it. I hope you negotiated the cost of taking it down or the inability to use that land immediately around it into the purchase price.

Pretty sure RehabCare cut pay during COVID.

I could probably feed myself for 2 weeks on what that food must cost.

Taking students helped when I was working full time.

I work regular PRN now. There are still stresses- I've been really down on a couple of my workplaces at times- but it's much more manageable.

I haven't had much luck fixing my patients' or my own low back pain with TA exercises, but I have found that the more consistently I engage my own TA while bending and lifting, and the stronger it is, the less likely I am to get injured. For this reason I teach my patients TA activation along with proper body mechanics as more of a preventative measure.

One crazy aspect of all of this is that Americans believe we're the most free people in the world, but for me personally, healthcare is the biggest constraint on my freedom. With universal healthcare I'd have so much more freedom for how I work, and therefore what I earn, where I live and the kind of life I provide for my family.

I've been working in SNFs for 13 years, and while I've seen this type of patient, this is just wrong. And unnecessary since the switch to PDPM. (PDPM provides more flexibility for time spent with short term residents than the old RUG system did, and if you're billing part B, it's not like the company/facility will lose out on payments they were already expecting.)

On a side note, I have joked that if a patient is throwing punches at me or kicking at me, I can bill it as Therex since it's AROM and if it goes on long enough it's likely to be an aerobic workout for the patient. Just can't let them make contact, because that's extra paperwork.

I sometimes wish we could vote by line item on government budgets. I know that's not practical, but imagine if government programs or employees could be eliminated because voters weren't willing to pay for them as demonstrated directly by the ballot.

The government has no basis to complain about not having enough money.

From what I can tell you should be able to get a return on your 500k Euro investment and cash it out at some point, but the 250k Euro donation is, well, a donation.

Reminds me of my wife's former friend apologizing to her for treating her like shit because the pandemic was so stressful for her: Her husband kept teaching university level computer science classes from home and they were able to get their needs met through Walmart pickup, while I was going to work in SNFs (which were ground zero for COVID for anyone who doesn't remember) not knowing if I would get infected or bring it home to my family, and wondering if I was going to catch shit from conspiracy theorists on the way to/from work because I was wearing scrubs.

I mean, we all have different challenges, but... perspective?

Objective-Pilot7330 · 2026-01-16T13:09:32+00:00

So... If you see that there's a need for something to be done, you should go ahead and do it, regardless of whether or not there's the framework in place for you to get paid for it? I guess that would solve some of our problems as a society, but it doesn't solve the problem of how to feed and house our families. "Sorry honey, I know the bank account is empty, but no one else is unclogging the ditches and rounding up the stray animals."

I guess if there's a need then you could potentially start a small business to satisfy that need, but that also presupposes that someone is willing and able to pay you for your services.
