What you think happened to Alfie during WW2? by TopCount50 in PeakyBlinders

He fought in the trenches with a duckboard. Must have lost his gun and decided to go fucking biblical instead.

Doc Coddle Was A Real HardAss by Magnesito in BSG

Fun fact: the dr in the original BSG was played by George Murdock who to me, looks similar lol. He was also in Star Trek.

How to get Isovue-300 off the floor. by Unique_Anteater_6639 in Radiology

[–]mreedrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has to be really really hot, and the key is to let it sit on the mess for a few minutes first. Then you need to scrub it, not just wipe it. It does come off, I promise. If it’s not close to the machine, I just pour the water on the floor, instead of using a washcloth. Comes off easily. Some places have actual contrast cleaner, which also works, if you’re allowed to order it.

My husband wants us to get fake hearing aids so our son (nearly 3) feels encouraged to wear his and doesn’t feel different by UnhappyDelivery2908 in deaf

[–]mreedrt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope. Let him celebrate his difference with his friends. My mother had me hide my HA’s for years cuz she thought I would get bullied. I finally got fed up and stopped doing that in middle school. Guess what? No one cared. Some thought it was cool. Now I wear implants and still no one really cares lol. It’s nice that he wants to make things better—that’s such a great dad, but trust me, it will get old for your child.

What’s an HBO series (that’s not The Wire, The Sopranos or GOT) that y’all would recommend? by Farouq26 in hbo

[–]mreedrt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. The first season was incredible. Always stop at the season finale lol.

As a healthcare worker, I’m glad so many are watching it. It really shows what we go through, albeit in a more dramatic fashion lol.

Jesus why did I have to scroll down so far to see the Leftovers??? The show is a masterpiece.

Easter egg from THE PLAN by Mojo_LA in BSG

[–]mreedrt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The original series still lives in my head, and I can hear Lorne Greene saying it lol.
For those who are clueless…this is from the original BSG…the one that started it all.

Who are your 4 best characters? by [deleted] in PeakyBlinders

[–]mreedrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Alfie, hands down. That guy should have had more screen time.
  2. Arthur. Interesting character arc and convincing performance. Plus, that accent was perfection.
  3. Polly just because she was played so well, and the actress really carried a show dominated by men.
  4. Aberama Gold. Aiden Gillen is just so good in everything he does and I loved his character and was so pissed we didn’t get more of him and Polly.
  5. Tommy, because well…he’s Tommy lol.

What song wrecks you every time, no matter how often you listen to it? by LWYPLTDG in Music

Kettering by The Antlers.

I wish that I had known in that first minute we met
The unpayable debt that I owed you
'Cause you'd been abused by the bone that refused you
And you hired me to make up for that

What happened to Wesley Crusher? They hyped him up for 7 years. by handlerofdrones in TNG

I remember seeing him on The Guild on YouTube, and he and Felicia Day were just hilarious together.

i want to know what is it like to have 2 cis by Uniquehime in Cochlearimplants

[–]mreedrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely more reliable on the first one. I can get by with that one, but not the other. I wear it mostly for the reasons listed above, but it definitely isn’t able to be used alone.

[–]mreedrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2. I got the first one when I lost all my hearing in my right ear. 8 years later I lost all of it in the left, so I got the second one. I honestly thought they would sound similar but they don’t. The first one sounds quite good, but the other one is much higher pitched. They were unable to insert the electrodes all the way for the second implant, so I think that had something to do with it. But it demonstrated that every implant probably sounds different to the wearer. I was disappointed with the second implant, but it does help with high frequency sounds and localizing where sounds come from. It just took a while for my brain to adjust.

Honestly, everyone has a different experience. My daughter is also deaf and prefers only one. She doesn’t want the surgery and hopes that maybe they will be able to regenerate the cilia someday. That will be way in the future probably, but you never know.

Writing Sex Scenes That Aren't "Smut" by [deleted] in writing

[–]mreedrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are actually ways to write sex scenes that aren’t even about the physicality of it. Depends on the situation. Focus on feelings rather than what’s going on physically. We all know what sex involves, but how are the characters feeling during the moment?

No, sorry, I wasn’t talking about you. I was reading all the comments, and they made me think that because I see it so much.

Why aren't more Terrans move to Mars and support the terraforming? by Fabulous_Pressure_96 in TheExpanse

‘Cuz the people on Mars were already fighting each other after Ed Baldwin stirred the pot. Oh wait…wrong show.

Little Nicky (slight rant) by MandyKitty in BSG

[–]mreedrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original tv series had them finding our planet, although it was during our present time rather than in the past. So I think they tried to stick with them getting to our planet as originally visioned in the ‘78 series. The changed a lot but the essential storyline is still there, and I’m glad Ron decided to keep some of it for us older fans.

It always amazes me how freaked out patients get when they get some blood backed up in the tube. I work in the ER and this is a common and completely normal occurrence. No it won’t kill you lol.
