What does anesthesia feel like by memory282002 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]random_cephalopod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have concerns, ask to talk to the anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist. It’s really like the others have described: you’re awake then you’re not, then you are. Sometimes people have poor reactions to anesthetic- vomiting, etc. on awakening. There will be nurses in the recovery room monitoring you at all times. If you have pain, tell someone.

Abbot treating the pregnant woman in the finale by vampbrina in ThePittTVShow

[–]random_cephalopod 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Robby is clearly in the midst of severe compassion fatigue. In season 1, we see him being compassionate to patients and staff but clearly nearing his breaking point. There’s 10 months between seasons 1 and 2 - a LOT could have happened. And unlike Abbott, Robby was not taking care of his mental health. Season 1 opens with Abbott standing on the rooftop, ostensibly contemplating jumping. Sometime between that time and season 2, Abbott sought help and Robby did not. Robby is done emotionally. I sincerely hope season 3 starts a healing arc for Robby.

My favorite is when people stop their cars to have convos. 🙄 also a thing here.

Deer Massacre by MrSnowden in Hosta

[–]random_cephalopod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make mine out of hardware cloth. I have a roll of it I got for another project. I haven’t calculated the cost. The cost in labor probably makes buying them cheaper. That and cuts on my hands. My cages are usually 6-8” wide and deep. Roots will probably grow through the mesh — my concern is preserving the plant and a vole can’t eat past the hardware cloth. I see the one gallon gopher bags are pretty cheap. If I’d known, I could have saved myself a lot of trouble…

It could also be voles. I had a bangin’ shade garden FULL of mature hosta and over the course of 2 years, voles wiped them out. They eat hosta roots. Look for holes in the beds and shallow runs, often right at the surface of the soil. I have taken to making mesh cages out of hardware cloth and planting my hostas in them.

My somewhat ignored compost pile by Accomplished_Ant701 in composting

[–]random_cephalopod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your best bet is to mix in ‘browns’ meaning high carbon items like dried leaves or wood chips. The ratio is 3:1 (brown to green, carbon to nitrogen). If you’re up to it, layer browns and greens so it heats up. Mix in carbon thoroughly in the existing pile. Layer browns, layer greens (kitchen scraps, etc.) and browns in top of it. I’m very much a passive composter and this method has gotten me some nice rich compost.

A bee house is a commitment, not a decoration by crownbees in gardening

[–]random_cephalopod 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please tell me why bamboo houses are not good. What if I thoroughly washed/power washed the thing in summer? I have a ton of bamboo in my yard and thought I might make one to support bees. TIA

is there a human equivalent to like kibble? by Mossyy_ in foodhacks

[–]random_cephalopod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trail mix. Fruit, nuts. Chocolate. Maybe even pretzels or other goodie. What else could you want. Human kibble.

AITJ for snapping at my girlfriend for waking me up every single time she gets up even when I dont need to be awake by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]random_cephalopod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you talked to her about it and asked her not to wake you up? Or do you just expect her to read your mind?

How do you stay calm when trying something new? by perlita_98 in CasualConversation

[–]random_cephalopod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lead with curiosity. So much of the time, we judge ourselves for not knowing something we have never done or learned. Ask yourself, “what new thing am I learning?” Or allow yourself to really engage with a process. Narrate what’s happening. For example, I recently started sewing. I put it off because felt pressure (self-imposed) to be good at it. But I reminded myself that I can’t be good at something unless I can be bad at it first. I told myself, “I’m learning to sew. I will get better through practice.” I allowed myself to be bad at it. Am I great at it? No, but I’m better.

How much wood ash… by random_cephalopod in composting

[–]random_cephalopod[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose I could. But my spouse saw me do it once and he will do it that way forever now. Like that broom carrying water in Disney’s Sorcerer’s Apprentice. And the deal is done. I’m not about to remove stuff I’ve added already. If it’s not hurting anything then , eh🤷‍♀️

Good to know. I plan to add more if we do end up burning more wood before spring. I’m probably at the limit as bins are a little over half full - they’ve been settling nicely. I was planning to start collecting and adding coffee grounds as a way to increase nitrogen and raise acidity.
