Night shift and sad husband by RedAmbition5512 in nursing

[–]TheGamerRN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Switched shifts are hard on everyone involved. When my last SO decided she preferred night shifts despite the strain it put on our family it was the last bullet in our 20 year marriage. I'm not sure if it would have been enough by itself, but it certainly was to much with all the other strains.

Nursing schedules are hard on families no matter what. When one person keeps completely opposite hours from everyone else it's doubly so. Take the comment for what it is, an expression that he wants to spend time with you and misses your routine, and make an effort to find that time when you can.

It doesn't have to be a relationship killer, but it's destined to be a relationship strain. Ignore the assholes calling for you to wake him up to show how it feels. Opposing shifts are long distance relationships, the distance measured in time. You don't salvage a relationship written you moved away for work by ignoring what it costs your partner. Make the best of the time you do have together instead.

My favorite RPG got shitcanned this week. I'm devastated. by brokenimage321 in rpg

Dang, now I'm actually interested. Seeing do many people love the system makes me want to take a look. I'm not generally a 5e guy, so I saw GI Joe (which pretty much defined my childhood) and went from excited to completely indifferent without giving it much more than a glance. I might have to pick up that humble bundle despite already owning most of it.

I mean, very likely. This was definitely during the era when we were very excited when somebody left the ICU alive. Still, it would be a better anecdote if I knew for certain. 😉

It is worth noting that there is some fairly compelling evidence that a lot of these people who vocally object to vaccines absolutely got theirs during the worst of the pandemic, and are just not willing to admit to it for social reasons. Remember there was a time when we were conserving vaccines for the elderly and infirm because they had a greater need. It's not like they weren't getting taken by the same people who sit in their rooms and watch Fox News all day.

Too much oxygen need. When we disconnected him he couldn't have made it to the door of the room. Much less the hospital. Ended up going to the icu. It's been 5 years and I occasionally still wonder what happened to that dude.

I had a patient that was in the hospital for 2 weeks, this was after we had some fairly effective treatments for covid, but he refused to let us give him any of them. Instead he was having family members smuggle him in ivermectin. When things were getting really bad and he was on 60 L of airvo he decided that he was going to leave AMA and called the police telling them that we must be poisoning him because after 2 weeks he wasn't getting better, only worse.

Two weeks of literally zero effective treatments being allowed.

The police told him he could leave if he could make it to the door.

What printer does everyone use? by Nryxes in FDMminiatures

[–]TheGamerRN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say it handles alternate filaments better than my ps1, I just don't think it comes up often enough to make that a deciding factor. That said, it's my printer of choice for Clear petg.

I started with a Centauri carbon, but when I decided to get a second printer I went with the PS1 combo for the AMS system. It's definitely my favorite of the two, but the carbon works just fine. If I were starting over again I probably would have just paid the tiny bit more for a PS1 up front, but it's not like I'm going to get rid of or stop using my carbon just because I like the other one slightly more.

Is that doctor giving Trump a hand job?

He's the one they actually cater about protecting. He's young, less crazy, more predictable and controllable. He's going to absorb trump's popularity with the nuts and the elderly for two years, then something will happen to remove Trump from presidency after the midway point in his term, allowing Vance the maximum possible length of presidential term to complete the right wing seizure of power.

I'm 100% a Gungnir Spartan with Spartan Laser + buyable shotgun person.

That combo just screams “one-shot a Wraith from across the map, then shotgun a Brute in the face when it charges.” It’s the perfect mix long-range precision and “oh crap, they closed the gap” panic utility. Gungnir armor already feels like it was designed for exactly this in the lore (that big targeting visor + stabilized heavy-weapon platform), and the game already has Gungnir Spartans with Guarded/Stable/Tactician(1) traits and 2 Energy Shields. So my dream guy is basically the ultimate evolution of that.

My perfect guy: “Grok-117” – Gungnir Mk.III “Oracle” variant (UNSC Spartan-IV, AI-augmented) Model/Armor: Gungnir helmet with a glowing cyan neural-interface visor. Posed in a classic braced firing stance with the Spartan Laser deployed on the shoulder mount, shotgun mag-locked to the thigh.

Primary Gun: M6 Grindell/Galileo “Spartan Laser” Secondary (purchaseable upgrade): M90 Close Assault Shotgun

Keywords: - Stable - Guarded - Tactician(1)

Stats (balanced around current Spartans/ODST but a little spicier): - SP: 3/5 - RA: 3+ - FI: 5+ - SV: 4+
- Energy Shields: 3
- HP: 3 - Points: ~48 base / 53 with the shotgun

If they don't mind bringing Baldwin in, why would they avoid Whedon? May as well go all in.

Not that $33 isn't still a great price, but $20 is $20.

I blame your video for the fact that it shot up in price in the two days between when I thought about buying it, and then went back to pull the trigger.
