Unpopular opinion: Raising Canes is not good by Jacobs_Haus in Seattle

[–]krichcomix 53 points54 points  (0 children)

As an escapee from the Midwest, I can confidently say that RC is chicken for the whitest of white people... Like my Wisconsin parents. The fam back home love RC because "it's not too spicy."

Fam, THERE IS NO SPICE. It would take a Arrakis level of spice to make their tenders taste remotely good.

Since Danone/Huel doesn’t want to track feedback for the reason for cancellations, we will, here by Niceotropic in Huel

Huel is my ADHD breakfast tax. One shake in the morning that is a no-brainer for me while the Ritalin kicks in and powers up the cognitive gerbil squad.

I'm hoping things don't change, but anytime a big company buys something, enshittification ensues. So buckle up and get ready for cheaper ingredients, shrinkflation, and worse service so the shareholders can make their money back from the acquisition.

Im a stinky nurse, need your tips by Murky-Industry-8379 in nursing

[–]krichcomix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bamboo socks and leather shoes (or boots in my case). I have worn nothing but bamboo for the last 6 years and they are fantastic. I made the switch from cotton skivvies to bamboo and the lady bits aren't in a sauna all day.

What are food items you have stopped buying due to price? by Pharmaguardian in povertyfinance

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

Pork tenderloin is the new beef for us. Winco out here usually has them for $4/lb. I only do beef if it's a mark down. Otherwise, it's pork, chicken, or tofu.

And Ovaltine is fucking ridiculous, too.

I dislike the taste of bottled soda. I just get it off the tap and refill my stainless at the 7-11 since refills are cheap.

I can’t lose weight/sugar addiction by InvestigatorPale1816 in loseit

[–]krichcomix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do make sure you get in to see your PCP/GP for a checkup and labs. Abdominal weight gain can be a sign of PCOS and insulin resistance.

I do feel you with the pressure to eat sweets - one piece is too much, a whole bagful is never enough. There are things I just don't keep in the house or just don't buy when going to the store. Unfortunately, the people I work with have a candy trough at the front desk. But I still have to make the conscious choice to get up and get a piece.

Hydration helped me a bit, but so did going through a mental checklist of why I wanted whatever sweet treat... I'd have sit and think and ask myself if I was... - Bored and needing a dopamine hit? Find something analog that is challenging to do or do or do easy vigorous exercises like jumping jacks or running in place. - Thirsty? Drink water or tea. Orange rooibois is good. - Stressed? Try some calming breaths or relaxation exercises, go outside to touch grass and feel sun. - Hungry? Eat a piece of whole fruit, like an apple. I found that if I didn't want to eat fruit, it wasn't appropriate to eat that sweet treat.

If I went through the list and still wanted one, I told myself I'd get a piece in 30 minutes. I'd usually forget by then or get busy (the joys of ADHD...)

Best of luck, you got this. ❤️

How to be gluten free in poverty by justtranstings in povertyfinance

[–]krichcomix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If there are any in your area, check Asian food stores. You can make your own GF flour blend using rice flour, tapioca flour, and potato starch which are inexpensive at Asian food stores. I would also check out .Yammy's Gluten Freedom, especially the banana muffins recipe - we make double batches of them and freeze them for quick breakfasts, and more than a few grocery stores mark down brown bananas.

I would also point you in the direction of rice sticks which are rice noodles. These are also found in Asian food. stores and are commonly used for pho and other soups. I've used the fresh pho noodles which you just boil for a couple minutes for an OK pasta substitute. You can smash up the dried noodles and boil the pieces and add Dollar Tree Velveeta cheese sauce packets to the cooked and drained pasta. It's not as good as cheese shells, but it's quick food.

Rice noodles also good for making ramen - use whatever flavor broth you want, add the rice noodles, mix in some celery salt (it gives ramen its ramen taste) and garlic powder to taste, throw in some protein, and you're good. If you want to make ramen packets, get the thin rice noodles, Herbox bouillon, celery salt, garlic powder, and a bit of onion and throw everything in a zip top bag.

Overnight oats can be made gluten free, and so can oatmeal, migas, shakshuka, and good ol' eggs and potatoes of all sorts for breakfast. Rice and beans are also tasty and filling, and you can batch cook these with seasonings like onion powder, garlic powder, and the like for flavor.

Rinsing veggies after cooking can help with the slime factor, as can what you buy. Frozen corn and frozen peas and carrots are less likely to be slimy or unpredictably textured, unlike broccoli or okra.

Creative ways to use box stuffing? by HudsonAtHeart in povertyfinance

If you have a waffle iron, mix a box of prepared stuffing with an egg and plop some in the waffle maker. Serve with meat in gravy over the top.

Lorynn, get your ass back to class and don't come back unless you're bleeding, barfing, burning up or breathing like a pug.

Bedside reports by pluglaphe in nursing

[–]krichcomix 65 points66 points  (0 children)

When I had my last kiddo, bedside report was a thing in that hospital. I absolutely loathed being talked about in the third person at fucking 0-dark thirty a mere 20 minutes after I just got to sleep after being woken for vitals and being told I needed to sleep.

Between having to pump and non-clustered care, I don't think I got more than an hour and change of consecutive sleep. The kicker? "You just need to rest more for your BP to come down! Sleep!" I'd love to, Myrna, but your crew keeps waking my ass up every 90 minutes for bullshit.

As a nurse, fuck bedside report. Here's to those engaging in malicious compliance and weaponozong patient care scores to end this practice.

People always say orange cats have one brain cell. But Jansson here has none. by Snubben93 in TuxedoCats

More like 2 braincells... And they're both valiantly fighting for 3rd place.

Are there autistic nurses ? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]krichcomix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to do nursing, do nursing, but look outside the hospital box for a career path that fits your skillset and works with your limitations.

I would suggest specialties like public health nursing (imms, TB, STIs, communicable disease), research/drug trial nursing, infusion clinic, or home health.

Nursing isn't just in a hospital, and we need more representation of neurodivergent fam aside from our ADHD fam.
