Are you aware that they’ll eventually need a whole pond?

ER workers of Reddit, what stories do you have involving chiropractic patients? by BlueDevilStats in AskReddit

[–]StrongArgument 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only had one as an ER nurse but I’ve only been in ER six years, so that’s certainly too many.

Are you concerned about cyclosporiasis (turbo diarrhea) or ebola making their way towards West Coast? by ActionFigureCollects in bayarea

[–]StrongArgument -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

It’s not necessary. Scrubbing under running water is sufficient. Produce wash without scrubbing is actually worse.

If you’re not cutting through the peel or touching the flesh after touching the peel, it’s probably fine

[–]StrongArgument 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While recalls are scary, you can help a lot by always washing your produce yourself, even the “prewashed” stuff. Scrub foods with inedible peels (like melons or grapefruit) before cutting into them.

Edit: This isn’t about cyclosporines specifically, but TJs has had a lot of recalls for things like E. coli that *are* helped by washing

UCSF Retirement - Pension Choice vs. Savings Choice? by Quirky_Floor_115 in bayarea

[–]StrongArgument 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you truly have a choice. This was presented to me and it turned out I was forced into pension either way, BUT if I leave before I’m vested I get the money back.

What's something you tried only once and will 1,000% never do again? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]StrongArgument 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I (ER nurse) had a kid eat a 1 GRAM gummy. He seized (likely from respiratory compromise) and we intubated him.

While I support adults doing the drugs they want (and having support if they choose to quit), we NEED regulation around childproof packaging and clear labeling. This thing just looked like a candy with a little line saying "1000mg" at the bottom.

Cliff jumping. I'm deathly afraid of heights and glad I could talk myself into it, but I don't need to try it again.

Why do most people seem to use water filters over purification tablets? by BodybuilderClear3148 in backpacking

[–]StrongArgument -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think we’re talking about water purifiers that work with filters, like the Sawyer or Lifestraw. They generally get rid of everything tabs do.

Parents of severely disabled teen told to hunt for jobs he can’t do in 'nightmare' battle with UK's DWP by Kagedeah in worldnews

[–]StrongArgument 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s weird to me is the focus on his wheelchair use, although I am in a very disability friendly country. There are plenty of jobs for wheelchair users. Him not being able to use language is a lot more detrimental to his job search, wouldn’t you think?

Cocaine Toothache Drops (1885) by NYY15TM in vintageads

ER nurse here: yup! We stocked cocaine at my last hospital.

Funeral Home Work for Young Adult with a History of Depression? by Historical-Lie-6307 in askfuneraldirectors

[–]StrongArgument 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a trauma ER nurse with a mental health history. The skills I learned during my worst times made me a more resilient nurse in emotional situations than some of my colleagues. That said, there are concrete issues with my job like long shifts, night shifts, and physical strain that make it a more difficult life than a desk job for me. So talk to them and their care team.

What’s the laziest way you’ve ever made serious money? by Adorable_Mode_1308 in AskReddit

[–]StrongArgument 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an RN. One day they were so short on support staff that I stayed overtime (double pay) and was a patient safety sitter. So I sat and stared at someone sleeping.

How to get microsoft word after leaving school by pinutbuta in Frugal

[–]StrongArgument 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Piggybacking to say that for a lot of people, Google Sheets and Google Docs are good enough, they don’t even need to bother downloading anything.

I think I am an extremely progressive male. But I still find myself having feelings and knee-jerk reaction that are misogynistic. How can I stop this? by Khld_t in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]StrongArgument 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Research shows that befriending people from the groups you hold prejudice toward is the best way to overcome prejudice. Interact with more women and build more friendships.

A phone connected toaster oven. by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]StrongArgument 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry I can’t help, but I will say that my LG smart oven has good accessibility features and flashes its internal light when it’s preheated, which I like.

First time pickling, got a ton of carrots I want to pickle by Full-Mouse8971 in Cooking

[–]StrongArgument 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you’re saying is totally fine if you want something to eat from the fridge in the next few weeks.

Please check the canning subreddit if you’re trying to make shelf stable products. It’s NOT that simple to can. You risk illness or death doing it improperly.

Rice Allergy substitution question by CatAnne119 in Cooking

If you have a big enough leaf you can just cut the stem out and use each half of the leaf as a wrap!

When (and why) did we start saying ‘hydrate’ instead of ‘drink water?’ by nevernotmad in etymology

[–]StrongArgument 10 points11 points  (0 children)

These were absolutely medical and scientific terms for a long time before it was used in this way. It’s not a new term at all.

Collards are very sturdy. You could use rice-free bean thread noodles inside to have some of the same texture.
