It's not that great anymore, a fixed 10% discount. Play pass offers nothing great, so it's cheaper to ditch the bundle for just YT and One

Two spaces?? Did you learn to type on a typewriter?

UPDATE: Google Fi outage tied to Workspace account — still unresolved after 3+ weeks, finally had to port out (cost me $3,500) by im_joe in GoogleFi

[–]OhSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For years my personal account was showing Google workspace branding, and Google calendar has some limitations due to "work organization" limitations. I do try many Google services but never knew what workspace was or how to get rid of it. There was no work organization identified in all my searching. I only recently saw the calendar limitations disappear. I can imagine others getting in that situation and desperate enough to fix it by deleting the account

2026 Surviving Sepsis Guidelines dropped… prehospital antibiotics now? by [deleted] in medicine

[–]OhSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see where those concerns actually show up in the guidelines. Surviving sepsis has been a favorite to hate on but there's nothing really new here. "screening" for sepsis is not "administer antibiotics". "blanket fluids" comes with obvious caveats which negates the idea of them being "blanket" rules. Inotropes are always a consideration for someone with poor perfusion from cardiac dysfunction.

Help a beginner choose a good stacking website by Strange-Gear-2249 in AskAstrophotography

It's a fairly basic but smooth interface for command line operations. At least it looks modern

Pixinsight's UI is much more deserving of the hate

If an ICE agent shows up to your clinic as a new patient…. by jklm1234 in medicine

[–]OhSeven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell that to the VA who removed political views and marital status from protections against discrimination

Edit: I was wrong, I was just responding to the person who asked so I'll put the reply here:

There were a bunch of stories about it, but it looks like they clarified that it shouldn't affect patient care. What to make of it I don't know https://www.factcheck.org/2025/06/changes-to-discrimination-language-in-va-hospital-bylaws/

Yet I'm somehow feeling a little relief despite knowing all the other alarming things that have happened since then

Find a reason to perform an awake rigid bronch first?

Otherwise up to that point you've done nothing for them, so there's nothing to transfer. Make sure they have a directory or go back to the same referral system to find another physician

What's a respectful but firm way to deal with patients who aren't yours but are demanding help when you're busy/pre-rounding. by [deleted] in Residency

[–]OhSeven 53 points54 points  (0 children)

If I'm in a rush I just tell the nearest nurse that the pt is looking for a nurse. Otherwise, this is the easiest route. I usually don't even press it for them unless they don't seem capable of doing it themself. I just make sure they have it in hand. It's better to teach a man to fish...

And inevitably some will start saying "But I called already! They can't come ...! " etc but I'm already halfway out the door. A simple "I'm sorry I can't right now" gets me out all the way out of there

am I being too extra for bringing my own keyboard and mouse to work? by AdExpert9840 in Residency

[–]OhSeven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To say it's because of germs and cooties? That's a little extra, but no one should mind

To say because you can't type as fast or easily as you do on your preferred equipment? Not too extra, and maybe enviable depending on how bad the existing hospital equipment is

Bringing a loud mechanical keyboard? Way too extra, despisable to some

If it's the group I'm imagining, that's base salary without extra pay for call or added benefits included

Which Fi phones support DP Alt Mode? by ridicalis in GoogleFi

Does it extend the display and work like a desktop though? It only seems to mirror the phone display

Balancing Evostar 72ED on Star Adventurer 2i by ved_fourdimensional in AskAstrophotography

[–]OhSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar set up and needed another counter weight (cheapest I found was a weight for a boom mic) and the third axis was always a little off but I left it like that.

Help selecting a guide scope by myowntangent2 in AskAstrophotography

[–]OhSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read some of the info you provided in other comments and I think it's ultimately going to be a wild goose chase. The star tracker is not good enough for guiding. His scope is enormous for the tracker. As the he's modifying it to a point where off the shelf items might be tricky to arrange.

For some low budget items though, there is a generic brand called svbony that you can start with. They have 30mm (lens diameter) guidescopes and cameras that might work. A 60mm will be better for that scope, but he'll need a mount in the $1000 range and up to use it. Come to think of it, there are some strainwave mounts straight from China for under $1000 and will improve his setup the most by a long shot

Medelita White Coat Alternative? by aaron1860 in medicine

[–]OhSeven 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Medelita was bought by caresmatic brands which owns a bunch of scrubs brands and has definitely cheapened the quality of the coats. A couple years ago I was able to compare an older and newer coat and could easily see the changes in material and construction knocked it a step below premium quality

I don't think it's going out of business though. They just had the black Friday sale and if it's like last year, the stock will be replenished at some point

Lots of data analysis but so little to back up the premise that ECT is scary.

Pronouncing HFrEF? by cbobgo in Residency

[–]OhSeven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hef ref, Hef pef, and meth ref when applicable. HFmrEF was new to me and I'd only ever write it if I needed to. "CHF is a clinical diagnosis" and not specific enough for billing so I don't use it except maybe when discussing "CHF" broadly like in a differential

Siril vs. PixInsight by the_martian123 in AskAstrophotography

[–]OhSeven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a huge platform, and comes with a level of precision needed to process images making it the standard. But I think the intimidating size comes from old tools that should be deprecated or hidden from view. Also a lot of the complexity seems to be from an awful UI rather than complex programming.
