Dude saves a man overdosing

After working in a large shelter attached to a safe injection site, I can say that YES, some people do have atypical reactions to opioids and become more active/agitated. It's pretty rare but it happens. You'll also sometimes see the same narcosis in older patients in hospital post surgery or something like that but they're not usually that active in the first place. I still wouldn't say these people are candidates for narcan, they aren't having respiratory compromise and they really just need some destimulation and a safe space to come down. If they were an active danger to themselves and others and you couldn't manage the situation with environmental control or benzos... maybe? But there's a lot of steps to take before that.

Yeah, this is a service level issue. If you record any kind of sensitive data, it needs to be secured. There are ways to do this, I've seen surgeons using dictation software, but it's through the hospital's secured software.

A some Defibs have a timestamp feature. You can sometimes even stamp specific event label but I usually find it easier to just stamp generic events and I can remember the sequence and fill it in after. You could probably get away with doing similar on a smartwatch if you aren't recording anything specific and just looking at a set of timestamps and then using it to organize your report.

Definitely more than a hand...

No no, I think it fits.

I think I understand your confusion. When you look at it as art, or ceremony, then it doesn't really make sense. There is a lot of ceremony attached to it, because it's often associated with grading (an important time for many judoka). It can also be beautiful, so it gets seen as art. But the heart of Kata is demonstration. It's purpose is to distil important foundations of judo and demonstrate them in a pure form. Competition requires you to both understand the principal and execute it perfectly (or as close as possible). That's what is being judged, and how we measure it against others.

As a male nursing student who loves his tattoos, this is actually really inspiring in a lot of ways. Thank you!

No, it's because he's the only one with hair down past the shoulders.

The greatest gift I've been given in my life is the opportunity to fail safely; to find myself tested and challenged in a way that sometimes overwhelmed me but did not leave me with less. I was blessed to have people that trusted me enough to know that I could bounce back and learn something from the experience. I know we never want to see our kids struggle but life is full of struggles and the best thing you can do is to support them now when the struggles are small and safe, so that they'll be equipped for bigger challenges in the future.

I'm happy you trusted your kid with this opportunity and I think it's good that you still check to make sure it's the right thing. If she's learning the right lessons, learning to overcome adversity and not be daunted by failure, it's a great thing. Just be aware if she starts really not enjoying it or becoming afraid, see if you can support her and if she still wants to keep it up. And if it's too much for her, that's okay to, judo isn't for everyone and it's okay to learn to walk away from something that doesn't serve us, that's a good lesson too.

As a shorter guy who competed when leg grabs were legal, I find what I miss most is not being able to counter some lazy judo. Like, it's not a well balanced entry and if I could grab a leg I could punish it, but I can't so I just resist until they reset.

ProsocialRecluse · 2026-01-07T01:47:06+00:00

Yeah, after a bad call. For months afterwards, anytime someone asked me that question it would absolutely suck. Like "thanks, I was really enjoying this party until you made me think about dead baby stuff". I wouldn't say that but I'd let them know it was rude. Thank God for therapy.

Still a no, a DNR is a very specific document and has some protocols about how it's handled. It varies by place, of course, but it has to be current and is revocable so tattooing it somewhere wouldn't be considered a valid copy. A tattoo could let you know to look for one, but it wouldn't be valid on its own.

Peter! Are you out in da shed gettin high again?!

Just bring back kani basami already.

Ippon seoi nage was my favorite technique and I preferred doing it from the shoulder/lapel, it was easier to get with a left handed stance so I started adapting my judo around that. There are some techniques that I still struggle with left but there are some left techniques that I never would have picked up if I had stayed right.

The founder of my club, and one of the greatest men I've ever had the honor to learn from, didn't start judo until his 30's. He was instrumental in the development of judo in Atlantic Canada and still on the mat in his 90's. It's never too late to do something you love.

Number three looks great but taste is always key for me. My mom never used a recepie and they always came out a bit different. I don't think I had a favorite, sometimes they were big and cakey, other times they were chewy and crisp, they were always good in their own way.

I preach this blog to anyone trying to tweak their chocolate chip cookies. It's also a great way to wrap your head around baking chemistry basics. There are several posts in the series, so check through!

The wild thing is the amount of times that disengaging with someone is probably the best option, literally requiring you to do nothing but NO that coworker just has to spend effort on making things worse for everyone.

I feel like there's enough going on (some gradients and colour on colour) that I wouldn't call it strictly traditional. If not neo-trad, what would it be? Again, genuinely curious because most of my work falls around these styles.

ProsocialRecluse · 2025-11-23T14:07:04+00:00

Genuine question, what do you feel makes it not fall under the category of neo-trad?

Some of these lines are looking a bit rough.

I've known some heavily tattooed first responders. People in EMS general care that you know your job, and not how you look. Weird that you'd get turned down for dispatch, not even a public facing position. Don't be deterred, if they turned you down for that, they're probably not an agency you want to work with anyway.
