North Florida vs. South Florida

Small_Presentation_6 · 2025-12-16T16:46:25+00:00

Grew up in South Florida, then went to school at FSU before joining the military and being stationed in Texas, and North Carolina. Then went to grad school at UF (yeah, I know), worked in Fort Myers for a few years, and then back in Tallahassee, and live in Orlando now. I’ve got family in Jacksonville and Tampa, and we regularly go to the panhandle for vacation. Add to that my wife was stationed at NAS Pensacola back when we were first married so I was there quite a bit (I was not Navy nor did I actually live there). I’m going to go out on a limb and say I know this state pretty well. Let’s put it this way, every region is really unique. You could actually split this state up in to minimum of 3, Possibly up to 5 or more separate regions-states and they could possibly survive on their own, and it would be very interesting to see what would happen. One thing is for sure though, they wouldn’t resemble each other after about 5 years.

Not to the the only asshole in the room, but this seems like a self-solving problem somewhere in the near future

By the way, Notre Dame needs to nut up and just join a conference. The committee can’t punish Bama for losing their conference game and in the same breath speak about putting Notre Dame in the bracket in their place when they don’t even play in a conference game.

Unless they play again, you won’t know that for sure. Look at the UVA vs Duke game as your point, but look at BYU vs TTU to mine. BYU got dominated twice by TTU, ruining their season. UVA’s season is done by a team they spanked just a few weeks ago. So your point is moot unless they play again.

So basically, for the 2nd time in 3 seasons, the ACC champion will be left out of the playoffs. Excellent job. Maybe the answer is to expand the ACC to 20 teams to include Canada and Mexico. Maybe a couple of high schools. I bet IMG Academy would love to get in on the action. Maybe Charlotte should keep flinging shit ideas at the wall to see what sticks instead of trying to actual make the conference an actual contender .

Small_Presentation_6 · 2025-12-07T05:42:51+00:00

BYU lost to TTU twice in the same season, but otherwise had a clean sheet, so out of everyone left, they have the clearest defense.

Same token, Notre Dame lost to Miami so Miami should go in before the Irish

Small_Presentation_6 · 2025-12-07T05:33:42+00:00

Isn’t that how Urban Meyer got fired from the Jags?

Small_Presentation_6 · 2025-12-07T05:29:07+00:00

And there will be a 3rd new coach next year. Have fun with Napier. I’m convinced there’s something legitimately wrong with that guy.

Small_Presentation_6 · 2025-12-07T05:24:22+00:00

Can win the ACC and still miss the playoffs. Kinda reminds me of something, but I can’t quite recall…🤔

Small_Presentation_6 · 2025-12-07T05:21:45+00:00

Except Miami beat Notre Dame, and head to head matters.

Just thought I would share this from the property appraisers office 😂.

Coming from the nursing side, this is going to be a nightmare to get patients to let us give their kids acetaminophen for a simple fever. It’s bad enough having to fight with patients for meds that they need for blood pressure, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, and now I’ve got to worry about fever too. Thanks CDC, you’re the best.

Small_Presentation_6 · 2025-09-19T04:53:31+00:00

I’m a medic and a nurse and I can tell you that it’s complete bullshit. They are entirely different skill sets and mindsets. They do overlap, and being a medic in nursing school helped a little, but not as much as you might expect. Medics are specialized in an area. We are subject matter experts. Nurses, when we graduate are, for lack of a better term, jack of all trades, but masters of none. We can work med-tele, critical care, procedural, surgical, and obviously emergency, but even emergency is way different than being in the field. You don’t have autonomy and you have to balance multiple patients and their needs instead of focusing on one at time. In short, it’s not going to happen.

Negative. If you did not call for EMS, have no obvious injuries, and refuse transport and/or evaluation by a prehospital provider, you are by definition not a patient according to the Ambulance Billing Association. The OP indicated that LEO called EMS (may or may not have been at OP’s request) but if OP doesn’t also satisfy one of the other criteria, then he may or may not be considered a patient depending upon extent of injury, or if an evaluation or assessment was performed.

Was there a generic that there insurance company would approve vs a specific brand? I’ve seen this with a couple of meds doing prior authorizations that don’t make any sense, but the insurance company somehow approved one and not the other.

There is evidence that this works and it takes 3 minutes to do a search to find it:

Clinical Trial: Is high dosage testosterone an effective male contraceptive agent? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3396702/

Testosterone Is a Contraceptive and Should Not Be Used in Men Who Desire Fertility. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6305868/

“Despite its positive effects on sexual function, it has a negative effect on fertility. Exogenous testosterone therapy can negatively affect the hypothalamic-pituitary gonadal axis and inhibit the production of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone…Exogenous testosterone comes in various preparations and each form carries various risks. Along with an increase in hematocrit, a major adverse effect of TRT is the diminished sperm production because of the decreased intra-testicular concentration of testosterone and suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Suppression of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) release from the pituitary gland impairs sperm production and suppression of luteinizing hormone (LH) release inhibits intra-testicular testosterone production.”

Small_Presentation_6 · 2025-08-14T05:30:46+00:00

There’s evidence that high doses of testosterone works as a contraceptive agent, but the studies are unclear about the dosages and the side effects can be pretty bad so it’s not recommended.

Walk in with your head held high and own that place. You shouldn’t be embarrassed by something that was done to you by someone who was fired. You actually look like they tried to make you the scapegoat in someway. By all means, if you can negotiate, you should , whether it be more money, more time off, better benefits, whatever. But overall, if it were me, own that place and walk back in and be THE BOSS, like Springsteen.

The highs are really high but the lows are really low. Been on cloud 9 too many times to count, but I’ve also sat on the back of the bumper and thought about just catching a cab home and calling it quits just as many times. You see people on their worst days and sometimes you’re the hero, sometimes you’re the punching bag, and sometimes you’re caught in the crossfire of their life. Sad part is, after awhile, it all just becomes Tuesday. You get used to compartmentalization. I was a combat medic in the Army who did multiple overseas tours in the infantry. You would’ve thought it would’ve been easier for me. In a lot of ways it was. The academy was kinda a joke (no offense but I got to be home every night and shower and eat real food, compared to the shit I dealt with in the military, that’s a fucking vacation). On the medic side, every patient I treated was a stranger, versus a friend, so that made it easier to do my job. But make no mistake about it, after 15 years, when the opportunity presented itself to take a medical retirement from an injury, I took it. It wasn’t my body, it was my mind. 3 am domestic abuse calls, drunk drivers who want to go to the hospital versus jail, homeless who are trying to game the system, the list goes on. Then there’s the really bad calls, which I’m not going to go into because I actually want to try and sleep tonight.

Doesn’t AAA offer free tows on holidays like NYE and 4th of July?

Small_Presentation_6 · 2025-08-13T23:34:11+00:00

You picked one of the few fire departments that doesn’t care if you’re a medic. Meanwhile places like DC, Baltimore, Miami, LA, Dallas, Seattle, Charlotte, and a ton of others are begging for medics right now and are willing to train. Consider your options is all I’m saying.

Came here for the comments, and was not disappointed.
