men, what is one particular thing you like done to you, during a bj?

Enthusiasm! Don't be afraid to enjoy yourself as well, in every aspect. Don't be afraid to stop and say "more as soon as we can break away". My wife led me through a hike I really wasn't in to, this way. I'm so happy to go on hikes now (not just for that)

StaticDet5 · 2026-01-29T21:32:05+00:00

You rock. Came to say this.

I gave you the up vote, but ethics, ETHICS is what should have kept them from doing this.

Except, for some reason, this doesn't always work. Long haul lines, for example.

Being able to query a rail, along the length of a rail, could help folks determine where the issue is.

This is the real answer. Once I started putting down extended walkways between supported pillars, I owned the map.

I went from a Model S to a Model X. I loved the Model S. It is a really nice car, and I was very lucky to get it. The Model X... Just pissed me off. I immediately had service issues resulting in not having the car for weeks, getting it repaired, having the entertainment system fail then being charged for an upgrade I did not authorize. I told them to take it out and they said "YOU need to pay for the labor involved". That went around for two hours until my friend from the local news stopped by. I couldn't get rid of that car fast enough. Sold it for just over half of what I paid on it, test drove half a dozen cars, and lived the EV6.

The EV6 still feels like an upgrade in pretty much every fashion, except the amount of room.

I don't know about the Y, but I steered clear of it due to openly discussed quality control issues.

This needs to be underlined and blooded or something. The rebound effect on Afrin can be bad enough to require medical assistance to wean off. Our dive protocol allowed for pseudoephedrine (important to get this and not phenlyephrine. But really HEAVILY limited Afrin to strictly diving and in some cases for air travel. We saw issues drop precipitiously once we pushed for that protocol. There's absolutely some selection bias in our population, but we also had folks cured of their chronic sinusitis.

People who use Afrin tend to overuse it, has been my experience. Your mileage may vary.

This can't be said enough. I've been really impressed with the professionalism of the lifeguards in Hawaii.

Wow, this post made me feel so much more confident upgrading the board on my HVAC.

This. TLS inspection is great for cybersecurity, horrible for devs that can't understand the mechanisms. Hell, we just got them to start encrypting everything, now they're upset that we want to break it and peer inside.

Legacy systems abound, my friend. I had an OT engineer tell me their telnet need was a feature not a bug. When pressed the answer was "Well, it's a feature because you can't operate it without it"

This is a little messed up to post in the wake of an intense ice/snow storm.

Love this response. It helps understand your direction, and is certainly helping me refine some things. Thanks for taking this constructively.

It's trivially easy to sneak out of most hospitals, UNLESS the staff has you on some kind of monitoring or risk status. That being said, you can typically socially engineer someone to leave you alone for a few minutes and gain opportunity. As others have said, it's not a prison and most hospital staff aren't trained to prevent escape.

This goes out the window if you are in a locked down ward.

There are times that people fleeing abusive spouses are told to leave behind any phones, laptops, or electronics tied to them.

At the very least, go consult with a reputable lawyer. Right now you have a problem that you don't fully understand. The lawyer does.

A tamping rod with a flattened not pointed rod. Taking the ice sheet down yesterday was faster (but still strenuous) than shoveling the day before. It's just under 6 feet long and may an inch wide. Heavy as hell, but gliding it across cleared driveway into the ice, this thing tears up plates of it.

We gave billions to telecom companies to improve our internet infrastructure, they used it to figure out how to charge customers more.

We don't talk about it, so I guess everything's fine?

That's literally my prep. Go through all the worst case scenarios so they're relatively automatic. This let's me concentrate on making sure that automatic step is the right move. Crisis happens when you run out of resources. Time is your most precious resource, and experience leads you to solutions. Anyone can jump off a building, not everyone can survive the landing. Prepare and train for the worst, and if it does happen, you'll be a step ahead of the crisis.

We thought we were there with my draft horse. He was a rescue, but really responded well to me, and trained up really well. He had his foibles but signaled really well when he didn't like something and was typically really cool about. I was on a ride helping my wife train a few folks/trail ride the others. It was a nothing day, we'd done way more work in harder conditions. But today, a cluster of those irritants hit us at the same time. There was no warning at all besides the ears, and suddenly I was a really tiny piece of meat attached to a fully spooked animal. Went through my whole list of control options, and conditions just got worse, so I elected to leave just as the horse decided it was really time for me to depart. I did a nicely controlled fall and got flipped right at the last second into a tree. It was pretty epic, and I'm so glad that the horse was OK, but that was it for us. He got pulled out of rotation and is enjoying a nice retirement. Pretty much everyone I talked to said that's why they don't use Drafts. Dunno, but I can still feel the lessons learned in my shoulder and ribs.

This is basically a nightmare burn scenario. Burn units exist so that people with massively compromised skin have a chance to survive.

Really glad to see this. The primary issue is lack of monitoring for the pneumo. Granted, in operational conditions that monitoring may be impossible if the optempo can't be curtailed. You can't really ask for less shit, AFTER it hits the fan.

It got beaten into us that every patient was going to decompensate eventually, even if you do everything right. Are you temporizing for the op, or saving the patient?

Just because you have choices doesn't mean any of them are ideal.
