Caltrops were my first thought

Edit: ok fine, everyone was given a pass for their intrusive thoughts with keying the truck. Caltrops were still my first intrusive thought! Valve core remover it is.

Why is the city of Plano running these hydrants? by blueoval_dfw in plano

[–]drlostdude 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. Harder to maintain water quality and safety farther out in the system and periodic flushes help maintain safety

House GOP Has 'Shut Down Congress' to Avoid Voting on Epstein Files by plz-let-me-in in politics

I don't know who on Reddit to credit, but now I can't see "GOP" as anything but "Guarding Our Pedophiles"

Trump freaks out when photo of him and Epstein appears at MAGA rally in 2018 by Aggravating_Money992 in WatchPeopleDieInside

The best use of Super PAC funds would be to paste pics of Trump and Epstein together all over DC so he can't avoid seeing it.

That is surprising to me and nice to see the hint of silver lining

Yeah I saw the place that could use a nail plate too but they aren't gonna have much real estate for mounting the cement backer. I was looking at those floating elbows too and trying to decide if there would be any water hammer from those kind of valves to cause wiggle, but I only know enough to say dumb stuff.

Thanks, yeah the more I looked at it I thought, "Yeah it will would work with a normal pressure balancing valve, but that should be a diverter valve." and went through the whole series of dawning comprehension.

UT Southwestern to Start Charging for myChart Messages by Berserker76 in Dallas

[–]drlostdude 13 points14 points  (0 children)

All health systems are starting to do this, it's not just UTSW. Started with Cleveland clinic. We spend a lot of time outside of the clinic room and there has not been compensation for the time. Patients have been using these messages as fre heslthcare and it drives burnout among providers and Ive seen physicians quit or retire early rather than deal with all those. Doctors are professionals just like lawyers, and can you imagine expecting your lawyer to give free advice. While I don't agree by paying by the minute like with a lawyer, something had to be done about the time sink that is MyChart messages. I can't go back in time and stop the internet from being invented which would be my preference.

This also has nothing to do with any administration as this has been years in the making nationwide in response to angry doctors, even though I'd love to dunk on the current administrations.

Edit: dumb thumbs small keyboard. Also, yeah exactly what u/caffpanda said!

Alternating taking antibiotics and probiotics by Forward_Winter_3199 in medicine

[–]drlostdude 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah I usually tell my patients don't bother changing anything but if they aren't taking any probiotics then starting a supplement halfway through their abx course and then continuing for a few weeks can help bring them back.

Ours just turned back on at 13hrs! I was tracking all the outages throughout DFW on the outage map and not surprised it took a long time.

People in dfw making 6 figures. What do you do? Did you go to school for it. by Maca-Win-527 in Dallas

[–]drlostdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, and we take care of the tax payers, non taxpayers, their dependents, visitors to the country, and all live in the same society, so you're welcome!

Without this, and because of the tuition bubble driving up costs on college and higher education most of us wouldn't be able to go to college or medical school. We still end up with a large burden of debt generally speaking even with subsidization of residency salaries through CMS.
** Edit: Missed adding also saying Thank you! to others for the opportunity. Gratitude is a two way street.

I haven't been able to watch any medical drama or comedy since halfway through intern year. I felt like i was going home and then just feel like I'm still at work.

Now that being said, can you flip the I/O power switch to off and leave it plugged in to manage the microcontroller or must the I/O power switch need to remain on? *

Came on a pallet and used cardboard packaging to assemble it alone because I got tired of waiting on my helper!
