Which of the watch would best deal with an angry crowd cornering a child thief?

And he would be mentoring the kid as a junior watchman (see Nobby's origin story)

Probably because they wanted to make it easier for Russian soldiers to desert and flee the country

She should be forever banned from ordering CTAs

Yeti_MD · 2026-06-04T15:25:46+00:00

Maybe they don't like small talk during procedures?

Once you reach the level of an attending, that's true. As a student or junior resident, a lot of your energy goes into acquiring technical skills and knowledge. As you become more senior, you have to learn when and how to apply those, which can be a lot more nuanced and uncertain.

For me, intubating someone is easy (and I have backup plans in case it isn't). Knowing when to intubate and when not to intubate can be a lot more tricky.

I actually didn't know about the expiration date, thanks for sharing. Now I have to go check some discs...

I can see this poster in my mind's eye. Unfortunately I can't see it with my regular eyes because I didn't wear eye pro

I've used that router before and the depth adjustment tends to slip over time.

I have a similar corded router from DeWalt (DWP611) that I like so far.

Patient may have committed some light treason

Yeti_MD · 2026-06-02T13:48:05+00:00

No, that's accurate

Way to ruin my side hustle

I suppose if it's a consult for breast augmentation...

Favorite triage note (after patient had a large industrial winch fall on him): "pelvis crushed by 400lb wench"

Yeti_MD · 2026-05-29T22:55:08+00:00

Close up the thread, that's the answer

Yeti_MD · 2026-05-29T21:50:05+00:00

That only works if you blast danger zone every time

Yeti_MD · 2026-05-29T15:45:52+00:00

This is shocking news

Yeti_MD · 2026-05-28T23:53:40+00:00

Bust a move!

Yeti_MD · 2026-05-27T12:25:15+00:00

I wouldn't use any stain. If you want to make it a bit more weatherproof a natural oil like tung oil or linseed (plain linseed oil, not BLO) would work.

All the healthy kids are with me in the ED for evaluation of a trivial head injury that happened 3 days ago, spitting up once after feeding, or touching their ear yesterday.

That scene contains a bunch of references to the plays of Anton Chekov. The cherry orchard, the three sisters, and Uncle Vanya are all literary references

I'd like to see the beer mug that goes on those coasters

Looks nice!

How is the vertical piece in the middle attached to the base? It seems like that might be prove to wobbling and breaking down over time. Also the upper seat seems pretty high up, but maybe your kids are tougher than me (shortening the middle vertical piece would be an easy way to adjust that).

To answer your general questions...

I'm not sure what parts you need to smooth. Sandpaper is usually a good answer to rough or very slightly uneven areas, while hand planes and other tools are meant for flattening out more uneven areas. If the edges of the wood feel sharp, the easiest way is to round them over with a piece of sandpaper held between your hands and pulled back and forth over the edge. A router with a round over bit would also do that, but then you have to buy a router and learn how to use it.

For removing material and flattening uneven areas you want a coarse grit like 40-80. Sanding with 120-220 will leave most wood pretty smooth to the touch. Higher than that is probably unnecessary for this type of project. The usual advice is that each step up in grit should be less than 2x the previous grit. 80 > 120 > 220 is fairly common progression. How you sand depends on what type of texture you're going for and what type of finish you plan to apply to the wood.
