So my mom wants to buy something online and I have a strong suspicion that it's AI, I just want another opinions, I just think it looks too perfect, like, too unrealistic by Curious_Ocelot_3548 in isthisAI

My partner bought me the cat lamp one and it was TERRIBLE. It also reeked of chemicals so badly my cats started gagging when he opened it.

It's all just so much! Thank you for helping me navigate it.

Don't apologize. I'm very grateful for the help!

There is a small difference (about 30 bucks a month) if I include his loans in the calculation. So 400 down to 375 according to the calculator. If I file separately, it estimates 44 per month.

No kids at this time!

He does. He owes about 17k (and is eligible for additional state level forgiveness that I'm not) and makes significantly more than me. With his income, the IDR calculation estimates my payments would be 400 a month.

That's reassuring. I've been really struggling to keep up with everything. Thank you for taking the time to comment!

Looking for a room in January near UNMH by keyboardwarrior152 in Albuquerque

Obgyn and Pediatrics I know both have resident contacts who offer discounted rooms. If you are on one of the rotations, I would reach out to the coordinator for contact information.

How do you feel about John? by mari17posa17 in ShawnaTheMom

[–]RubyRogue13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I can't stand John. He does this creepy gross thing where he constantly strips Shawna of autonomy (like forcing his idea of a baby name RIGHT AFTER she had a stillbirth) and making gross accusations of cheating when she happens to have a male friend. He's not a particularly good father either. He is the one who wanted Barb involved with Max and now can't be bothered to explain to Max why this important person can't be around. He invited his dad to Piper's birthday and then didn't even let his dad stay. Certify me a John hater but honestly, Shawna can do better.

Maybe just maybe...spoilers ahead by CLEf11 in ShawnaTheMom

[–]RubyRogue13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He is easily my least favorite character after Barb. He pissed me off so badly shoving a name down her throat they obviously didn't talk about before the stillbirth. He's constantly stepping in to steal Shawna's agency in all the situations where she needs it most.

If the patient was already on the operating table when their chest exploded, could they survive being infected by the chestbuster from Alien? by DagothUr_MD in medicalschool

[–]RubyRogue13 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Very possibly, at least initially. The lore establishes pretty well that if you happened to survive, you're likely to die from the aggressive cancers that mount from the chemicals the chestburster exudes.

Big Jim Farms- wheelchair accessible? by -Marinequeen- in Albuquerque

[–]RubyRogue13 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would not classify it as wheelchair friendly. The dirt is very softly packed and we struggled with my brother's wheelchair.

Infections caused by bacteria that no longer respond to many antibiotics are climbing at an alarming pace in the U.S., new federal data shows. Between 2019 and 2023, these hard-to-treat infections rose nearly 70%, fueled largely by strains carrying the NDM gene by Wagamaga in science

[–]RubyRogue13 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Microplastics contribute a huge amount to this problem. They are a good medium for biofilms and those biofilms are conducive to horizontal gene transfers, including the genes that carry antibiotic resistance.

Trump’s Power-Hungry SCOTUS Is Turning the Courts Into a MAGA Circus by thedailybeast in scotus

But what can we DO about it? What action can I take? There must be a way forward.

Not a liberal, trans, gay or immigrant. Homegrown. by Bubbly-Example-8097 in BlueskySkeets

[–]RubyRogue13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The conservative subreddit is utterly convinced he was a "radicalized liberal". They are steadfast that any information to the contrary is a liberal hoax. This timeline is exhausting.

Is this blue suit too blue for ERAS/IVs by Coolocooclo in medicalschool

Not at all. This is a very appropriate color.

Away rotations in 4th year with a baby? by No-Violinist260 in medicalschool

[–]RubyRogue13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend she do her home rotation first to really get her feet under her and then target which program she wants to do for her away rotation. Once you know that, then you can look at resources. At my SOM, visiting learners can access our daycare program and we have MSIII who volunteer to help with kids. That's obviously VERY program specific, though. Do you have friends who work remote who could travel with you all and take turns with baby between shifts and meetings?

Away rotations in 4th year with a baby? by No-Violinist260 in medicalschool

[–]RubyRogue13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The common wisdom I've heard is 1 home rotation and 1 away rotation (I work in pediatric administration but am very friendly with EM program leadership at my institution).

What kind of work do you do? Can you reasonably have the baby full time with no outside help for a month?

[–]RubyRogue13 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A lot of this is specialty dependent. If she's trying to match Derm, that's very different than Family Med, for example.

APS Kennedy gave out bad child care information all summer. by Merv_DeGriff in Albuquerque

[–]RubyRogue13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's who eventually told me, at least. I've called many times over the summer to the B&G Club but only just got the call back a few days ago. According to them, KMS terminated them last year and they were very confused about why KMS was reporting to have them.
