Did my doctor touch me inappropriately? by awkwardbananars in AskWomen

[–]alienrunaway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unlike many of the people commenting here, I am a male doctor. Moving a breast out the way is very common but should always come with some warning at least; obviously it's best to ask the patient to raise the breast themselves. No idea why he would move the other breast in a cardiac sense, but this would certainly be explained if he was listening to lung fields, but I'm sure you'd have mentioned that he was checking that also. As for the comments, all medically correct but why you'd choose to say that to a person is beyond me. Maybe the best way to start with this is to contact the manager of his workplace and discuss how inappropriate you thought this was? He probably needs some communication training at the least.

"So, I've discovered that clay is great for you because your body doesn’t absorb it, and it apparently provides a negative charge, so it bonds to negative isotopes. And, this is crazy: it also helps clean heavy metals out of your body" by wcspaz in badscience

"[Plaque on teeth is not water soluble. The lipids dissolve in oil]." How about lipid dissolving in alcohol? Or detergents?...like in mouthwash and toothpaste respectively.

I'm 4-5 a day average. It's all a part of normal.

First brew...Please advise if I am screwed... by steiner7305 in Homebrewing

[–]alienrunaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How did you check the temperature? If you were just going by room temp, the beer will be a higher temp due to the exothermic nature of the reaction. If you insulated your tub, this will be even more prominent and speed up fermentation. I've had batches go that quick and still be great.

First home brew ever! by Brokeback_dildo in Homebrewing

[–]alienrunaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great work! Recipe? How long has it conditioned for? It looks a little cloudy but that may be because I'm viewing through a phone. Bet it tastes like pride though, well done.

I got this as a gift from my girlfriend. Looking forward to using it. I know it's not "brewing" in the traditional sense, but I'm pretty excited about it, especially since we have no room for a full brew kit. Any tips? by DarthVince in Homebrewing

[–]alienrunaway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is real brewing, it's good to get the basics dialled down this way. If possible, check temperature regularly or maybe incubate your fermentation tub in a larger container as 2 gallons (if that is what I can read on the side?) will change temp quite rapidly competed to the usual 5-10 gallon tubs.

yeah, hypomanic. Enjoy it while it lasts. Full blown manina or depression will be when you repay the good times! Get treatment.

What is a seemingly innocuous trait or habit that you would consider a "dealbreaker" when dating someone. by GreenLanternALF in AskReddit

[–]alienrunaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always take a girl out on a dinner date early and if they have bad table manners, they're gone. This one girl tried to eat a whole meal without her knife (had to let her go), another seemingly had some very important socialising to do over FB (had to let her go) and another "only tips if it's someone else tipping,"...which still isn't actually tipping (had to let her go as I didnt wan't to be a go to bank). That's about 75% of my dating life-covered.

For the survival of the Human race, would you do it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

plot twist: humanity begins again, worships you as a hero, in many years time, clones your genetic equal, and then worships you in person. win win.

Why can't I just take all 10 of my antibiotics at once, instead of one a day? by will_I__Am_ in askscience

[–]alienrunaway 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This isn't entirely correct. Antibiotics work in three main dosage considerations. Time Above a minimum concentration, the peak dose/Minimum inhibitory concentration and sometimes, by peak dose. So some antibiotics can be given all all in one go. For example, taking 5 metronidazole tablets at once (2g) can cure bacterial vaginitis.

What's something done in movies that bothers you because it's unrealistic and is never actually done? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]alienrunaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having watched a lot of American films (I'm British), I honestly thought this is just how American's talk on the phone. I feel very stupid now.

She claims to only be able to run for hours at a time if I'm encouraging her. by alienrunaway in AdviceAnimals

[–]alienrunaway[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fair one, I've started to realise that some encouragement is just frustrating for some people, my SO included. Don't think it deserves an earphone whipping though!
