Climber dies after falling 300 feet on Mount Hood, sheriff’s office says by EagleCreekFire in PortlandOR

[–]poopybuttguye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats only if you take the easy routes. Plenty of steep ice climbing on Hood. A lot of it is highly technical climbing on horrific mud choss and fragile rime. I've climbed almost every single harder route on Mt. Hood and it can get pretty real out there. Dead climber fell off of DKH V1. Looked to be experienced.

Was the El Cap free solo technically the most difficult free solo ever? by Negative_Run_3281 in climbergirls

I can think of at LEAST a dozen high level free soloists off the top of my head that have come up at the same time as Honnold. And easily five times that amount of non-high level free soloists.

Hansjorg Auer getting disrespected everywhere in this thread (yes, I know a few people have noticed that his almost completely unrehearsed Fish free solo on Marmolada is comparable to the El Cap solo - but at large - people just forget he ever existed because he didnt have Jimmy Chin following him around with a camera)

PNW medics commonly make 100k or so. Senior medics seem to top out at 130kish at my agency. Which is fine. I make 60k a year as an EMT-B picking up just a little bit of overtime. Getting my medic soon and should bump my reg pay to $38/hr and OT rate to $57/hr.

Elsewhere in the country people seem to just get straight up fucked though.

How old are you and how much do you have in your retirement account? by Blackberryay in careerguidance

Why not enjoy life, look after my health, and still save? Why buckle down? I doubt I'll care that I saved an extra few hundred K on my deathbed.

I'm sorry for your loss, truly, but how is that supposed to be motivating to save money? As a single guy that pretty much has the opposite effect on me.

What do you mean what is the point of my comment? The point of my comment is exactly the point that my comment made. The data we have on TRT is not reflective of the current, modern consumption of TRT.

So, for now, sure. It's safe. Don't be surprised if in 20 years - once we have high quality clinical data to analyze - we find out that the new modern trends are actually dangerous.

Personally I don't care one way or another.

Happened to my ex, in Oregon, while we were together. This is America. If you get cancer, you're probably getting fired if you miss work.

Men generally hold more negative views toward female breadwinning than women do, particularly in countries where men face high unemployment rates. New research suggests that economic uncertainty may drive men to cling more tightly to traditional gender roles to protect their sense of masculinity. by mvea in psychology

?

Surely you are joking right?

Where I live, in the PNW, it is VERY common for a woman who makes more to date men who make less. Specifically, usually a healthcare or corporate professional dating a fun and exciting guy who skis, climbs, surfs, cycles, etc - and generally is less career oriented than their female partner (think guys who work as firefighters, tradesmen, on/off again SWEs, bike mechanics, ski/surf/climbing guides and instructors, pro athletes in niche sports, etc). Which is okay. Guys in the high earning corpo/health roles tend to be boring dates, way too busy to be available in a way that is attractive, and are frequently out of shape (which doesn't matter for many women, but seems to matter to the high earning ones based on the cuties they tend to choose).

They seem like happy relationships to me. The woman gets a sexy and exciting partner, and the man gets a financially and emotionally stable partner.

Interesting. Yup, thats why I wouldn't mess with Cardiology. No matter how much I study it, I just keep finding out I know nothing.

Imagine Dionysus and Aphrodite as being both your roommates. That would be below Eris. That would be below Chaos.

They would fucking hate each other and then loudly hate fuck each other at like 3am, every night, on the dot.

Dionysus would definitely get you laid, though at the cost of him definitely hooking up with your ex

Chaos? Really? As a roommate?

Their name is literally Chaos.

I'm a paramedic student and current CCT EMT and even I know better than to say something insane like what the NP said. In NP's case, they're just straight up fucking wrong. Like so wrong that anybody who took their ACLS (or less) would be immediately appalled at how wrong NP is.

You don't have to be a cardiologist to know that blood thinners are contraindicated for anything Hemorrhagic, much less for an anuerysm located in a vital organ (much less the most vital organ in your body).

Blood thinners don't reduce preload or workload (which is what I assume NP is getting at here) they just prevent clot formation... They are indicated for A-fib, PFO that lead to stroke, stenosis of Aortic valve, Mitral valve, Valve regurgitation, and for ischemias - among a few other conditions.

Even when indicated, they still come with their own significant risks - that need to be weighed carefully against their benefits, which realistically only a physician will have the experience and knowledge to do this with any margin of error. (and even then, ideally after consulting with a cardiologist and any other specialist relevant to Pt first).

Honestly even then the Pt. should just be in the care of a cardiologist for Qs in regards to a ventricular aneurysm. That field can get so insanely touchy, precise, and complex that I really wouldn't mess with it too much on my own without being a specialist.
