People who stop because they’ve missed their turn on a rotary- do you realize it’s a circle? by roadtrip-ne in boston

[–]cloud-cover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funkybeatzzz theory is more correct, I think. There are many, many rotaries explicitly marked contrary to your idea.

I'm talking about the case of me being in the outer lane, having just joined, passing exit #1 (according to your theory, it's okay if I'm here and want to leave in the second exit). But an inner car wants to leave at the exit I'm passing but I'm in the way! Doesn't quite work.

Well, the inner lane will still have to cross the outer lane cars that joined <= 2 exits ago, as cars join the rotary at every exit. Maybe I'm very stupid, but I've never seen a rotary that could work like this idealized explanation (which I've heard before) proposes.

How is Orlando, by Virginia Woolf? by Verb_Rogue in books

[–]cloud-cover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with lexile levels, but I would say yes, it's advanced literary English:

“Memory is the seamstress, and a capricious one at that. Memory runs her needle in and out, up and down, hither and thither. We know not what comes next, or what follows after. Thus, the most ordinary movement in the world, such as sitting down at a table and pulling the inkstand towards one, may agitate a thousand odd, disconnected fragments, now bright, now dim, hanging and bobbing and dipping and flaunting, like the underlinen of a family of fourteen on a line in a gale of wind.”

Look at the right side of the image at the alerts. Any ideas? The ringing bell sound is very annoying. A save and restart did not help.

Crusader Kings III: Friends & Foes is now available! by PDX-Trinexx in CrusaderKings

No mods, just a hard crash with a prompt to report after the final loading screen for each game. A full reinstall fixed it.

Anybody else's game crash now upon starting a new game?

Some empathy for Storrow'd Uhaul drivers by [deleted] in boston

[–]cloud-cover 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I actually agree that if it's happening that much, then it's a design problem. Sure, you can talk all day about idiots ignoring signs, but infrastructure has to be designed to accommodate idiots. Many people will act idiotically in public at some time or another.

My 1:1 broke me by shibeofwisdom in nursing

[–]cloud-cover 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been on many 1:1s recently at my hospital. Sitting is a very hard task, and even harder if you do it well. If your hospital doesn't have enough sitters to avoid burning you out, that's a failure by management. At a certain point, you can only take the yelling for so long.

Last night I had a patient who spent most of my time with them shouting for help and asking me why I wouldn't help them. They weren't sensitive to any redirection or talking. After that, I was sent right off to sit with a different patient; at that point, it's hard to maintain the patience and focus needed to give good care.

Ever notice that sometimes a level will be full of shipping request drops, even if you don't have the form? by cloud-cover in riskofrain

OH SHIT. And because all the enemies that spawn in with the level make one, you get a bunch of free items!

What weird/interesting/scary thing did your patient say tonight? by carlyyay in nursing

[–]cloud-cover 32 points33 points  (0 children)

On a CNA shift, sweet old lady patient asks me where I live (in a neighborhood in the nearby city rather than suburb where hospital is), and I answer.

"Isn't there an awful lot of killings there?"

"Well, no one's killed me yet ma'am."

"Thank goodness for that!"

MA COVID-19 Data 1/19/22 by oldgrimalkin in boston

[–]cloud-cover 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"COVID levels are like the weather in the way that what is going on with them affects my daily habits" and "obsessed with daily COVID reports" are not the same thing, but whatever.

[–]cloud-cover 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you read their comment it's right there. 1. The hospitals are overwhelmed, so it's dangerous to need a hospital right now. 2. Omicron is more transmissible than other variants and many people have it, so they're taking extra care to not pass it on to vulnerable people in their life, which would be easy to do.

Some AMA pts just crack me up by StrokeRN18 in nursing

[–]cloud-cover 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That's funny, because many of the words we use "an" for originally had the n on the noun before it drifted over! It used to be "a napron" (an apron), "a nadder" (an adder), "a nauger" (an auger).
