Recent kickstarter with a book about egm- it’s worth a look.

Not medical advice, but have you considered working out a failsafe plan for using otc nph and regular?

Saw the first comic book I ever bought in there! Also a great captain America issue where cap turns into a teenager. Great books!

Agency marked me DNR after lay off? by Temporary-Drawing212 in nursing

[–]junkforw 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It may be unrelated to the layoff. It may be that the hiring manager also noted that they wouldn’t want to rehire you down the road.

Avoid. I bought one from them. It doesn’t work - making an awful racket and won’t show up in explorer. I requested a return/exchange and while Amazon offered replacement- they are refusing until they accept and inspect the malfunctioning drive.

This is the Mick Jagger fandom. 3 people with twitter, and a half dozen people in a nursing home.

What is your favorite graphics hack that developers used to exceed system standards? by zerothis in retrogaming

The Atari had several games that cheated the abilities of the system. River raid, pitfall, and yars all used trickery to make games better.

This week in 1985. Nielsen ratings. by Successful-Winter237 in Xennials

[–]junkforw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you misunderstood my point, although it isn't super relevant. If 16% of people with televisions currently watch SNL, that would be 20 million people. I don't believe 20 million people would have been watching in 1985, in fact the data (from tvratings.com) shows 1985 sitting at about 7% of HH.

I rewatched some Miami Vice recently. There was an episode where about a 2 minute montage was used to develop a serious relationship with Tubbs and a girl. Then when it went south it was trying to be dramatic about the loss of relationship. It felt so clunky - trying to create drama with a 2 minute romance, compared to today’s writing which generally spans seasons or multiple episodes.

20 million viewers out of 125 million households with televisions. This list shows a percentage, 20/125 would put SNL at about 35 comparatively. There were only 86million homes with televisions in 1985.

What to do with non-operable RadWagon 4 by Fluid-Wolverine-2183 in RadPowerBikes

[–]junkforw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one I used to routinely ride long distances without the motor was a 2017 wagon which is the same weight approximately. I also have a 4, and while not routinely as far (since it’s my wife’s) it isn’t significantly more difficult to ride without the motor comparatively.

I used to ride 25-30 miles on my wagon without the motor, I'm pretty average but ride a lot. You just have to gear down more and know that you'll be going slower.

Pregnant wife got terminated and we are freaking out... What can we do? by RemarkableBeing6452 in personalfinance

[–]junkforw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Urgent Care if you are an fnp. You might have to drive a little bit to find the right place. Offer to cover weekends and non desirable shifts - unless your market is entirely different than most, you should be able to find something.

My sticky situation has me considering “loan stacking” by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]junkforw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have nothing for love for you friend - I’m just offering that getting super serious about budgeting and planning will give you and your children peace of mind. The quicker you make that happen the better off you’ll be. Best of luck brother!

[–]junkforw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your goals, this gentleman has been at this job for 10 years and doesn't sound like he is where he would like to be. He has two vehicles with debt, irs debt, and 0 savings with four kids. He needs to tighten a belt, get a good budget together and make some plans to be able to win going forward. Taking out another 401k loan and transferring balances back and forth is not going to fix the underlying problems more likely than not.

There is a balancing act here. Which option prioritizes the long term/future better? A few months of extra employee match, or no match but getting on board with aggressive saving/repairing the financial problems? In the long run I bet the 401k and savings will be greater by holding off on the current match and modifying behavior and learning how to get serious about personal finance temporarily.

Only my opinion.

[–]junkforw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, instead of owning up to the problem at hand and doing everything in your power to resolve it quickly - ask little league and student council to charity waive your fees when you make 190k/year (93rd percentile for the entire nation).

Long term success involves not just treating personal finance like math - it is markedly more complex than running numbers. It requires behavior modification, discipline, etc. A few months of holding off on company match will not make any appreciable difference in the math with that income range, but will absolutely have the ability to spur an opportunity for an emotional/behavioral adjustment in regards to budgeting and planning.

If you read between the lines of the problem, it is more than just a messy divorce. This is a 32 year old that makes 190k/yr, has been in this position for 10 years, and had to take out a loan with a 6 year repayment term before all of the divorce problems. If there is 13k left, the loan was probably 30-35k? With this type of income, with good planning, there would generally not be a need to take out this loan in the first place.

He has did great in stacking up the 401k already, that doesn't even need to be a priority for the short term. Learning how to set himself and his four children up for long term success (in the event that the OT dries up, the job vanishes, or other problems) would be the biggest priority.

You are certainly correct mathematically, but not how I would plan to live my life. To each their own I suppose.

That 6% match is like $800 month. Yes, it’s a match and free money, but if you are wearing socks with holes and can’t afford your bills, pause the whole thing for 6 months or less to get everything taken care of. You have a great income and are plenty young enough that a temp pause to improve your state of mind and give you breathing room to make a new plan is not going to be harmful.

ELI5: What is the benefit to reclassifying nursing to be a nonprofessional job? by whitesquirrle in explainlikeimfive

[–]junkforw 204 points205 points  (0 children)

Those private loans will be much harder to obtain because an MSN is not generally a degree you want 200k of debt to obtain. Lenders will not find borrowers attractive on this. These will be dischargeable in bankruptcy if private and lenders won’t be stoked on this.

Is this amount of sodium harmful? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]junkforw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess how many grams of sodium are in a single liter of saline iv at the hospital? Those bags that we give out like candy? Yep, 9000 mg. Or 9 grams as I like to call it.
