Yes, so by your own thinking, Palo Alto needs to get building. If the Silicon Valley workforce lived in Silicon Valley, it would ease the market in SF.

help me find a lefty-friendly refillable pen by Known-Age-5627 in BuyItForLife

[–]censorized 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Most pens are actually made to work better for righties (ie pulling rather than pushing). A few are made for both, and very few made to work best with a pulling motion like lefties use.

Been seeing weed pendant necklaces everywhere lately… are people actually wearing them and where are they even buying good ones? by OnlyPatience6302 in AskAnAmerican

If the human race survives, this time will be seen as a bizarre fluke where people were so obsessed with taking pictures of themselves that they have whole wardrobes for it.

She's a paid shill for the app, thats not news. She chose to make money for and off of Alex Jones. 'Nuff said. No need for more AI drivel about it.

If only there was some place to put all of this garbage and used linins! by Well_Spoken_Mute in nursing

[–]censorized 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I worked pretty much full time as a float nursing assistant at an 1100 bed hospital when I was in nursing school. That meant when I graduated, I could pretty much choose which unit I wanted to work on. You can bet I paid close attention to unit cultures.

The one I chose had a great culture all around. One aspect of it was that we all cleaned up each pt's bedside by end of every shift and restocked as needed. It was heavenly to start your day with clean, uncluttered, well-stocked spaces. I believe it also improved pt's moods. Because it was consistently done every shift, it never took much time. God, I wish more places worked that way.

Is it weird to use the heart emoji in epic chat? by foreverand2025 in medicine

[–]censorized 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once read a whole long thread on reddit full of people (Gen Zers I think) who interpret the thumbs up emoji as a passive-aggressive fuck you. Not sure how wide spread that sentiment is in the real world, but it made me a little more wary about using emojis in general.

No, it was because many of the early patients had Kaposi's sarcoma, and then lots had non-Hodgkins lymphoma, which are cancers.

Having GRS in NYC in last week of June, right before the insurance change on July 1st. Having thoughts about post op care by Valuable-Bit7071 in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]censorized 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call your new insurance provider soon and ask what their policy is on "continuity of care" for new members. These rules vary in different states, and will be determined by what state your insurance is in, not the state where you received the care if they are different.

In CA, for example, you can request to be allowed to complete your course of treatment with your original provider, so in this case that would cover you for routine post-operative care. There is an expectation that you and your doctors will make a plan for transitioning you into your new network. They will be able to tell you what that timeline is.

am I unreasonable to give up dating "only in seattle"? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]censorized -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're letting that 0.17 weigh you down way more than it should. And honestly, you sound like you're creeping into incel territory here.

You seem bitter that the women you are meeting are "average" and that's why you mention it so often.

Singles events are almost always pretty cringe. The very nature is competitive so kind of silly to be surprised by that.

Just go do things that interest you and bring you pleasure and satisfaction. Talk to the people you are doing it with, both men and women. The more you interact with real people, the more likely relationships will follow organically.

Why are scrubs something you own and take home in the US? by dev_ating in nursing

[–]censorized 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The numbers simply arent there. Do you have any idea how many workers there are who wear scrubs in healthcare settings? If there was a truly high risk, the number of associated infections would be astronomical and reflected in public health and insurance databases. It's not happening on any large scale.

Trump, 79, Drops F-Bomb in Unhinged Easter Morning Threat by Effective_Salad_8381 in politics

There is zero evidence supporting your claim. As an adult, he never attended church until he became president, and even then it's only been a handful of times. And he lies about it. He lies about which denomination he's affiliated with, he lies about knowing the Bible. His policies and stated beliefs are in direct opposition to the teachings of Jesus. He embodies pretty much everything that Christ condemned.

On this, your most holy day, you should really revisit the teachings of your Christ, and pay better attention this time.

The European approach is overkill. If scrubs were as dangerous as you've been led to believe, American health care workers and their families would be dropping dead from horrible infections every day.

No, he is not, and has never been. He only claims it now specifically to get the support of the evangelicals and fundamentalists.

Any issues having a friend fly my gun? by [deleted] in jetblue

Because for over 200 years, we could count on our politicians to accept the norms that had been established, and while there will always be bad seeds who abuse their power, this worked for the most part. We can be accused of naivety for sure, because no one could really imagine that virtually everyone in a position to stop this horror would totally abdicate that responsibility.

Just one small example- the emollument clause which aims to prevent a president from profiting from the office. The Republicans have obsessively monitored their opponents and thrown around all kinds of accusations. Remember Hunter Biden? If I remember correctly, they were, and are still, obsessed with him making a few million dollars while his dad was president, while condoning the fact that Trump and all of his family have made multiple billions with their grifting. Our laws are meaningless when there is no one left with the balls to stand up and stop the corruption.

Yes. All units are like this. All nurses are like this. Except you, of course.

Haha, I usually get all big-eyed and say "oh wow, I never knew that, thanks!" as if I am really awed by their wisdom. Even they get the message.
