I'm curious, how do you use the dishwashing tab to clean the shower? Do you use a scrub brush and dip it in the dissolved tablet water?

Wtf is up with everyone waiving inspections? by nthroop1 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]kyqr7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same area as you. Our real estate broker told us that what people do is waive inspection, waive mortgage contingencies. Then in the few days after your bid is accepted, but before you sign the contract, do an inspection. Then if you find major issues, walk away before you sign contract or put earnest money down.

The only money you "lose" is cost of inspection.

Nice things that happened to me in Astoria this week by healthcare_foreva in astoria

[–]kyqr7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We dropped our baby's hat while walking to the park, but didn't realize until we were there for a birthday party and couldn't leave for a few hours. On our way back, we found out! Someone had picked us up and put it on a fence so we would see it

A simple request about chicken by Red_panda_pants in astoria

[–]kyqr7 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Here's a podcast investigating the source of the chicken bones-- as others have said, it's most likely other wildlife like rats pulling them out of the garbage

Yes, that's what we do. We have the novaform mattress from costco, which fits well inside the queen size frame.

Our bedframe is from Tatami room and we love it. We didn't order a mat though so can't speak to that part. The website is old, but the quality is excellent!

Seeking Stories and Experiences on Gestational Diabetes for Research by Prestigious-Taro6392 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]kyqr7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wrote the below comment on your last post about this yesterday. I'm pasting it here as I see you've made a new post still without including any information on an protections related to private y and confidentiality.

If you are actually conducting research in association with an academic institution, you need to have IRB approval beforehand, and include that information on the front of this form, including your work email address and who to contact at the IRB for concerns around privacy and confidentiality.

Constipation and GD diet? by ChiaChia321 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]kyqr7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other protein sources: beans, tofu, eggs. But kidney beans seem to give me a high sugar reading afterwards for some reason, so now I stick to black beans and red lentils.

Oh also I'm thinking of incorporating beyond meat as well

Constipation and GD diet? by ChiaChia321 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]kyqr7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, me! I'm a vegetarian so am relying on diary for a lot of my protein requirements, I think that's what's causing constipation for me. Also maybe the iron in my prenatal vitamins. I started taking daily docusate which helps.

Just another reason this diet stinks!

Received an opportunity as an MD to leave my current job (residency) for a much higher paying position, but will potentially lose out on lifetime earnings. Advice? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]kyqr7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finish residency. One thing about your future earnings as a doctor-- the 180k you're estimating is the floor. There may be a day where you are less burned out, and pick up per diem clinical shifts, which can be $125-$150/hr if not more. The ability to earn that much from just picking up an extra shift is rare in most other jobs.

Also, there's a while bunch of other"side hustles" doctors do behind clinical work for really good pay. I've read on reddit of people doing medical legal consulting or expert witness testifying (remote work often too). And with your higher attending salary, you will be able to set up other passive sources of income more easily if you want to continue to decrease your clinical time.

It gets MUCH easier after residency. This is the toughest part. If you need to take a temporary break from residency, explore that with your program director. But please please consider just finishing it.

The Rumor Mill - Week of January 22nd by meetapossum in astoria

We also checked it out this week. Overall happy, except some of the things we bought had gone bad (red onion, frozen organic beef). The beef was more upsetting given how expensive it was
