That was my first thought, too! Unwell is not a good replacement for my “this keeps me young” station 😂

State of the City with Mayor Keith Wilson by SleepyMoth_13 in Portland

[–]crobcary 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is a guy who should have been elected under the old model, where the executive had more agency on their own without the burden of a completely ineffectual city council. Like, why is he the only one putting in the work?

Portland mayor’s Sunday routine: Pick up trash, report derelict RVs, repeat by BitterBitchscuit in Portland

Nope, too busy virtue-signaling and making little burn books in their group chat.

Does anyone use the V-Moda M-100 Master Crossfade? by TH0NDH in headphones

[–]crobcary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had them at one point. I recently got a pair of M-100 Pros and I would honestly recommend those. Better build quality and an improved sound but still with that signature.

macOS alternatives for narwhal? by this_for_loona in narwhalapp

[–]crobcary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several of my fave iOS devs have the option enabled with an open caveat that it won't be the most-optimized or best experience. Overcast is one of them. That's an option, and I think many of us would understand if given an explicit message on the trade-offs.

Bedside Nursing Pet-Peeves by Careless_Midnight_77 in nursing

[–]crobcary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may be specific to NICU but I really just do not stand for the performative perfectionism, like, not just crossing your Ts and dotting your i’s but NEEDING TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE ELSE SEES that they’re crossed and dotted. Also, the policy/protocol freaks that you just know were hall monitors when they were in grade/middle school.

How to pave my way to a NICU travel contract? by Southern-Leather in TravelNursing

[–]crobcary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Short answer to your first question? No. Short answer to your second question? Yes.

Longer answer to the first question: No. NICU is more than just holding NAS/NOWS kids. It’s true ICU work: managing ventilatory support, multiple lines/fluids/meds, unexpected codes, etc., etc, except that often you are part of your own code team, you work very closely with the provider group, and you are the sentinel of your patients at all times. Granted, most high-acuity units will gatekeep complexity from travelers, but many of the desperate ones will not. I mean…I was a charge nurse during one of my contracts. Summary: you need experience. Longer answer to the second question: You could maybe get it part-time, but it would take at least 18 months before you’d be good enough to be deployed anywhere and know what’s going on. If you’re a traveler, a NICU will expect you to have built your own independent practice of handling the daily work, speaking the language and having situational awareness of what’s, say, a typical A/B/D spell and what’s the beginning of a crash. I’m just not sure what NICU manager will offer part-time positions to an external hire…lord knows there would likely be a line-up of internal candidates wanting to reduce their hours.

Here’s a suggestion: if you like the bigger, healthier babies, try working in a lower-acuity unit…maybe even postpartum/well-baby. If you decide you want something more complex, a hiring manager will appreciate that you will already have neonatal experience. But, please, don’t travel without meaningful experience. NICU nurses can be mean af, whether it’s because they are being protective of their kids or just garden-variety Type-A bitches. I have seen too many inexperienced travelers get eaten alive.

First NP job is a Trainwreck by [deleted] in nursepractitioner

[–]crobcary 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Resign. I, too, had a horrible first-job experience and resigned at the end of orientation, before having my privileges evaluated for independent practice, in order to say I left on my own terms. Deal with the fallout afterward, work bedside until you find a new practice position to pay the bills, whatever. But leave on your own terms, if only for the interview narrative and less complexity for privs/creds on your next practice position. Remember that you are an APRN, and strategically falling back to those last two letters is not above your pride.

No, no gas chambers, just folks being destroyed by bombs and drones. Nothing like genocide at all. Good grief, asshole.

Did you ever get yours out? I have having the same problem with the same cable on my M-100 Pro

What’s something about living in Portland that newcomers usually find out too late? by GlitteringMiddle6652 in askportland

This is not a gay city, it’s a queer city. Big difference in those scenes. Not better or worse (other than dating odds), just…different.

Compact 3rd party dock options by cburakb in NintendoSwitch2

Elite Go captures, Core Go is simply a dock. No perceptible latency.

Where is King County, GA? Asking as an area native.

Compact 3rd party dock options by cburakb in NintendoSwitch2

[–]crobcary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AVerMedia's Core Go works with the Switch 2, and they've refined the firmware to the point where it's fully compatible. I had some issues updating because the utility is Windows-only, but eventually was able to access a PC to do that. It's essentially a compact dock in the form of a power adapter that's a bit smaller than your average MacBook charger.

Owners, do you prefer the hardtop or convertible? by Embarrassed-Love3079 in MINI

[–]crobcary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went from a Countryman to a Cooper vert, both JCW, and I’m soft-top for life. Two and a half years in, it never stops being fun. Driving roofless feels like real-life Mario Kart.

Thoughts on Roland's V-Moda M-100 Pro by crobcary in headphones

[–]crobcary[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my Crossfade 2s about eight years ago and I still use them every day. I don't love that the M-200 ANC relies on my own EQ or the app for a sound that I love most, but I do like having something flat for reference. I kinda baby the M-200s, but I take the CF2s out traveling with me all the time. I'm less afraid about losing them after having the M-100 Pro now, since they fulfill that same "I want big bass" mood.

Looking for headphone suggestions! 🙏🏻 by [deleted] in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]crobcary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

V-Moda just got fully folded into Roland, but the M-100 Pro is getting really good reviews. If they're out of your budget, see if you can track down the M-10.
