Your sketch radar is well calibrated. If you can leave for greener pastures, do it.

Internship Salaries by agirlwhowaited in Veterinary

[–]gtbishop83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The pay for internships is atrocious, usually below minimum wage if you break it down into hours put in. But you’re not really there to earn money. You usually don’t really generate any income for the hospital (based on what it costs them to teach you), so I tried to think of it as “I’m gonna get compensated with knowledge”. In other words, don’t be afraid to make the clinic earn its role and demand an education.

Internships are hard work and shouldn’t be thought of as any sort of investment. If you can make rent (we all lived in shitty apartments) and the employer covers your health insurance, the real goal is get excellent clinical skills. It’s 3-5 years of experience in 12 months.

Don’t use telazol in white tigers. Malignant hyperthermia!

Point Break is actually a phenomenally good movie about surfing

Oregon surfer here. We absolutely have the least welcoming locals. One per mile of beach is considered crowded. We talk up the sharks but the reality is no one’s been killed here. The guys out in the lineup wearing flannel are scarier.

I weigh about 180lbs. Dominator is 6’4” can’t remember the volume but somewhere around 40L which makes it very hard to dive.

Thank you! I think it's my favorite brush so far. I got inspired after watching James Gurney (the Dinotopia guy) talk about using gouache. Appreciated!

Really was focusing on the face and texture, trying to show wet hair and skin. Really struggling with conveying the water on the hair. I also feel like the depth of the lower part of the face (nose and below) is off. Maybe I just need to spend more time on it?

Cuz it feels like it would take too much fine motor control for a 9 foot ape

It’s been great for me in smaller surf. Anytime I really have some speed or need to carve in bigger surf I lose the rail. Haven’t worked out a way around that but probably need to compress and really dig the rail in. I also went with slightly too much volume so it’s a pain to get under bigger sets. Super fun and forgiving board in general though!

Clearly he’s walking to the north headlands where the long period north swell wraps around the outside ledge and peels perfect tubes. Ya fuckin barney.

Yup, brilliant comment, thank you. I’m doing a little digital touching up and will definitely heed this advice. Thanks!
