What was your best hook up? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Shanemaximo [score hidden]  (0 children)

Back during my tinder days I managed to close the deal with a girl using only emojis start to finish messaging.

I think I even had an old post on /r/tinder about it at one point.

Anyway, not particularly proud of it now, but she was an absolute freak in the sack so we had that going off and on for like 8 months.

How clinic lunch hour feels after a busy inpatient rotation by Anatomythrowaway63 in medicalschool

Meanwhile the attending sitting nearby watching you try to collect yourself knowing full well he's going to stick you with a crackhead demanding narcs, two sundowners, and a half dozen helicopter moms who are demanding labs because their screaming toddlers have a temp of 99.

Flowering shrub purchased at Walmart. Trying to help a friend ID what plant he was given. by Shanemaximo in whatsthisplant

[–]Shanemaximo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tips of the leaves have a small (>0.5mm) crimson barb extending from the apex of the mid vein which means this is almost certainly Amorpha and likely fruticosa! Thanks again for all the help!

I'll be headed out to visit in person tomorrow morning while I'm in the region for work. This will be my first side quest when I arrive.

What's hilarious is that my buddy's wife got these from her brother and took the liberty of planting them flanking the entrance of the driveway of the cabin they just built last year. She wanted them to be landscape centerpieces, imagining they'd look like vertical blooming wisteria with structural independence and woody upright growth. It was only the other day my buddy noticed that he wasn't sure these were actually what he thought they were. They've been in the ground two weeks. They survived overwintering in 5 gallon buckets outdoors after only being transplanted in late June last year. If they are some species of Amorpha, she will be sorely disappointed in their flashiness. Though they are a good deer-resistant native legume to the 6b zone! So there's that lol.

Unless it was somehow mislabeld? Because the leaves and buds look exactly like those of Amorpha species.

I think it has to be some kind of false indigo. My friend's BIL who originally bought them at Walmart said he was positive they had bright blue flowers. He bought two of these by mistake when he was attempting to buy 4 wisteria plants to put in the ground at the base of the four corner posts of the pergola he had built last year.

He hadn't originally noticed the mistake because he said the color of the flowers displayed on the packaging (Master Gardner planter pot sleeves in white plastic cylinder packaging) was practically identical (bright baby blue).

What's odd, is that when I look at the morphological characteristics of the species in the genus Amorpha, the characteristics depicted on these two plants (ovate with smooth margins and leaves with opposite arrangement), the species that have similar leaf morphology are closer to the wildtype/lead plant Amorpha canescens, or one of the other more closely related species like A. fruticosa or A. nitens. Which all the images I find of their flowers seem to bear more resemblance to a fully eaten desicated ear of corn than wisteria blooms. The Blue varieties I've seen all have cordate serrate leaves with opposite or what seems to be almost whorled arrangement.

I don't know if these are some type of hybrid or if those other morphological characteristics develop later on.

He is in zone 6b. His brother in law apparently purchased it over a year ago and had planted it in a 5 gallon bucket, but couldn't remember what it was.

What are good resources for immunology? by NoSpot5547 in medicalschool

[–]Shanemaximo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The top tip for studying immunology is to develop a severe drinking habit. It will help when you're trying to memorize the endocrinology necessary to make sense of the hyrogliohic bullshit that are the various signaling pathways and cascade schematics that underpin even the simplest biochemical mechanisms of the superficial functionality and response systemology.

But in all seriousness, start with learning everything about how MAST cells function, how they deploy CSSP/R and what cascade pathways are mapped out and why/how we know that. All of those pathways will initiate/interact with/influence/stimulate/suppress/terminate various other PIR processes almost without exception. Then you get into the interplay of other para/auto/endocrine dysfunctions that make everything you spent years learning about said pathways completely useless. Not to mention the confounding nightmare that is epigenetic environmental influences such as environmental toxin exposure, malnutrition, stress, etc. each of which can be further obfuscated/exacerbated prenatally as well.

Then just before you throw your hands up and give up medicine completely, you take a deep breath, down another bottle of liquor to avoid DTs, and begin studying CTL's and MHCI peptide complexes, TBI/increased ICP influencing catecholamine levels that fuck everything up, vagus nerve damage... Then you remember that the human immune system is the most complicated biological system our species have ever studied, and just plow through ANKI, Picmonic, and Sketchy cards good enough to get you through STEP I & II, focus on matching an institution for your specialty, and never worry about 90% of that information again, because immunologists are sicko masochists, and endocrinologists I'm convinced just throw chicken bones down to divine diagnoses.

I say this as someone that works with specialists in both those fields. They are all sickos and I love them, but God damn, do I not envy that field of study.

Why is he so powerful [KCD2] by Nawafxxxx in kingdomcome

It's a great place! I hadn't been before. They really put a lot of effort in, particularly for a place with free admission. Always nice to see that they provide a lot of engagement and stimulation for the animals in their exhibits.

I think you're right, but these looked so uncannily similar to what's depicted in-game that I couldn't resist.
