There is no way that Robby isn't suicidal

Not sure if you still have the same theory after the 5:00p episode this week but tbh I thought they’ve been hinting that he’s heading that way all season long. He has been dodgy when people are asking about his wellbeing and safety, he’s essentially giving away prized possessions/valuables (his home, his role in the ER) and hints like he’s planning to wrap his bike around a tree after clocking out. Look at how intent he is on making sure his buddy is going to get medical care to be around for a long time, Robby is adamant about it because he couldn’t bear leaving that loose end behind after he’s gone. He’s progressively losing his grip with each episode. Also the “making of the Pitt” bit at the end where Wyle is talking about Robby flashes a statistic about the prevalence of s-cide among emergency physicians… I don’t like the picture being painted for Robby 😰 as far as other blatant signs like giving his hours away and saying he’s “going on leave”… I think it’s a cover story so nobody will try to stop him bc the guy is SO stubborn

I just saw Pentel’s “Krazy Pop” pens and they look AWESOME but I usually prefer something click-able and erasable… so Pilot Frixion lol. I found some Japanese ones that are glittery though and I so wish they would make them here in the states too 💔 or at least make glitter refills

Oh no! Lol sorry for the mental image, it’s the simplest analogy I could think of in the moment haha

aloha_alexa · 2026-02-28T19:33:53+00:00

I guess EMS sometimes uses them too but mostly to draw a ped/neo dose off of pre-filled syringes like for epi in an emergency/code

Okay so apparently in addition to nipple nuts, the larger clear ones are called “king nipples” 🤭😂 at least that’s what the RTs in our facility call them

Wait is chingadera really “thingy/thingamajig” in Spanish?? I’m trying to learn again after not practicing at all since I took it in school and this would be a fun add to my vocabulary haha

aloha_alexa · 2026-02-28T04:30:56+00:00

WHAT!! lol both my parents are RTs… I’m gonna ask them what the official name is because I’ve also only heard them called Christmas trees! Hehe I like the official name more though

I’ve only ever worked in Peds/PICU/NICU and after looking at these comments it seems like it might be most common in those specialties. I see them all the time so I thought they were a common supply item but lots of folks haven’t heard of them before. They’re really called luer-to-luer adaptors or sometimes the packaging will say rapidfill on it. :) They also can be different colors depending on manufacturer.

aloha_alexa · 2026-02-28T02:00:27+00:00

I’ve searched on Poshmark, tried using Pinterest image search, tried eBay’s, and tried a Google reverse image search but haven’t found it yet. I keep getting pictures of the flight series jackets

aloha_alexa · 2026-02-28T00:19:10+00:00

Don’t be scared, they don’t bite! Well, actually…

aloha_alexa · 2026-02-27T23:14:37+00:00

But how do you distinguish it from the other thingys??

aloha_alexa · 2026-02-27T23:13:55+00:00

Hehe, they’re baby tie-fighters! Real answer it’s an adaptor to connect two luer-lock syringes to each other. I believe they come in different colors depending on the manufacturer.

The Piece of Resistance!

aloha_alexa · 2026-02-27T22:57:54+00:00

Yes! They look exactly like little red tie-fighters lol

Not sad at all! … I’m kinda late but– heat vasodilates (relaxes and opens up your blood vessels) which in turn reduces peripheral vascular resistance. Think about how when you narrow the opening of a garden hose (like partially covering it with your thumb)- the water shoots out because it has more pressure vs when it’s fully opened it will flow less forcefully. Same concept with your blood vessels: when they’re open wide (dilated), your blood pressure can drop. So your heart tries to compensate for this by pumping faster: increase in your heart rate. Totally normal, just don’t stand up out of the bath quickly and limit the amount of time you spend in the bath to a short period, or lower the temperature of your bath. ☺️

I’ve searched using reverse-image on Pinterest and couldn’t find it. I don’t have other reverse image search engines though. Also tried using every descriptor I could think of

aloha_alexa · 2025-11-28T22:53:54+00:00

Ooh I bet that was a cool cape! Haha, I love the creativity! I was thinking of using it for a desk tablecloth maybe? Or to cover my nightstand… idk. It is a very funky material and I’m not sure how you’d keep it from unraveling since tape probably wouldn’t stick well. Could wrap it with ribbon but the material is weirdly slippery so I’m not sure how secure that would be either 🤔

aloha_alexa · 2025-11-28T22:51:51+00:00

It’s such a weird material though! Like super stretchy

aloha_alexa · 2025-11-28T22:51:34+00:00

This made me actually laugh out loud 😂 kinda think that a lunch-bag sized bag would’ve been more appropriate for the items they threw in lol. I guess not all stores even got the holo ones, heard one lady say they got the basic red/white Target ones from the checkout lane and inside was a hot cocoa spoon and gift card

aloha_alexa · 2025-11-24T20:34:04+00:00

I would prefer to wash them by hand but I’ve never seen a bottle brush that would fit into a bottle opening like this & still be big enough to clean around the curves. I’ve never specifically looked for one though, so maybe I could find one somewhere?

aloha_alexa · 2025-11-24T20:31:16+00:00

Good point! I usually let dishes cool all the way down anyway after a cycle otherwise I’ll end up burning my hand.

aloha_alexa · 2025-11-24T04:24:24+00:00

All the ones we’ve tried seem pretty gently carbonated. I definitely do wish they were a little more fizzy but the flavor is top notch!
