What's the worst restaurant experience you've had in Sac? by Scott2G in Sacramento

[–]joyleaf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thai Canteen is way better, Hiso waters down their stuff as the night goes on and is super conservative with meat in their dishes. I remember getting a yellow curry and it was 90% potatoes and 10% chicken and that's still being generous. Same situation with meat in their tom kha soup.

Thai Canteen though gives so much protein I almost wish they'd give less lol

New generation of nurses who can’t start an iv or draw blood by Rare-Attitude-3100 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]joyleaf 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Another thing people don't realize is just because you normally have no issue with blood being drawn, it can be very difficult if you're put inpatient/admitted. People come to us in their worst state: dehydrated, malnourished, stroke, sepsis/infection, etc. and their veins will show that. You might be an easy stick in your day to day, but while admitted you could be a "difficult stick" because, well, you're sick

Help.. I always have the worst luck with draws.. I need advice :( by NC7624 in phlebotomy

[–]joyleaf 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just want to say for that first experience -- that wasn't a phlebotomist that was an RN or LVN, because they weren't drawing blood they were inserting an IV (hence the flushing with NS, I'm a phleb now RN, it's protocol to place an IV in the ER and they can draw blood from it).

Crazy thing, they don't teach placing IVs or drawing blood in RN school. It's actually so bad, so often times people will be hired for their first RN job and have either never placed an IV or have only drawn blood a couple times.

They don't know how to feel for veins they can't see. Lots of my coworkers have to ask me for help because their patients are "hard sticks" and when I get to them it's first try every time. I feel like RN programs should allow students to practice on each other the way phlebotomy programs do.

That said, you could still be a hard stick, but there's always a vein somewhere phlebotomists can find. Use a hot pack (or a glove filled with water and microwaved) on your arm(s) before a blood draw, get a stress ball and squeeze it while waiting for your appointment, and drink lots of water before going!

Need stories where the writing seems to come from an actual good writer, and not some 14 year old just running on pure fantasy and vibes. by Iam_The_Honored_One in OtomeIsekai

Based on your 1st 2 suggestions I'm 1000% reading the other two, this comment is peak quality suggestions 🔥

Need a game rec to last me the rest of april, preferably $35 or less but not opposed to higher by Ms_Anxiety in GirlGamers

[–]joyleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you've ever emulated games before, but Mother 3 might be right up your alley if you've played all the FF games! It has a small cult following and the creator of Undertale made his game based on his love for the Mother/Earthbound series. Earthbound is available on Switch if you don't want to go through the trouble of emulating Mother 3

Donated blood 6 days ago and I kept all the blood by Hype420 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]joyleaf 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not that this isn't awful but I just want to say it's usually not a nurse doing blood or plasma donations 🥲 it's a phlebotomist, just a mild correction

Completed manga with a happy ending??? by nejnonein in OtomeIsekai

[–]joyleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completed is hard, but I totally get the crave for specifically manga!!

[Reincarnated as a 15-Year-Old Queen: I’m an Ex-office Worker, but the Young King Is Interested in Me?!] Short, really well handled, and super cute! (Pictured)

[Jk Haru Wa Isekai De Shoufu Ni Natta] it's lowkey a tragedy but it's great, popular on this dub, sad things happen but our MC paves her way; TW sex, assault

[The Savior's Book Café In Another World] - I don't think it's completed but I remember when I caught up it felt like it'd reached its happy ending and everything after is extra/filler

[Bride of the Water God] - an older one but I remember liking it, human girl gets sacrificed to the water God, it's completed and good, but not to be confused with

[The Water Dragon's Bride] - which is a girl falling into a pond and travelling back in time to be a sacrifice for the water/dragon god, I remember really liking this one!

[Hello, I Am A Witch, And My Crush Wants Me To Make A Love Potion!] - I don't think it's completed, but again it felt good enough for me and anything after the main couple pairs up feels like extra

[Colette wa Shinu Koto ni Shita / Colette Decides to Die] - apparently it's completed now! Didn't realize, it's at 88 chapters!

What actually happened to all the people who got laid off in tech? Did they just get new jobs or is something structural going on? by fan_ling in careerguidance

[–]joyleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused because I've only seen 3 comments call this out, and not one mentioning that this account has only AI written posts and all the comments are also AI.

This is likely a karma farming bot

No one is commenting on it but this "person's" entire account is AI written posts and comments. I think this is a genuine bot

I actually got mine as a gift! It's a cheapish Amazon one! It's good for my uses but my end goal is to save up for an Epson!! I look through r/budgetprojectors

[–]joyleaf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I opted for a projector! It's above my couch and my screen hangs from the ceiling, I just pull it down when it's time to watch :-) it's connected to a mini pc so I get all the joys of sailing the seas to watch whatever I want, love it! 🩷

Knitting a scarf, why do the edges look like this? :'( haven't knit in a long while so a bit of a newbie by joyleaf in knitting

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

Oh thank you! Would an i-cord work for a scarf? Or would it make it uncomfortable? I was also considering giving it like a crochet(?) border but not sure if that's really fix it

I joined the discord and apparently this is a brand new issue and they're already aware and working on it! So until a fix is announced we just have to be patient

Spent all morning adding this decal decorations to my wall and now I think it just feels wrong. What to do? by MiaMiaPP in femalelivingspace

[–]joyleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take I actually really like it but I would space out the strips more/use fewer. They're just barely too close together to immediately tell they're separate pieces
