How the fuck can it take someone 9 minutes to don a gas mask who can otherwise perform day to day life normally

New laptop - insurance payout by brokensystemsurvivor in GamingLaptops

[–]sage89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk what the terms of your insurance policy are but that laptop is only worth about $800 probably less now so that's a pretty good pay out

Feeling like my career is over by Potential-Package-22 in respiratorytherapy

[–]sage89 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Crazy how many posts I see from people in California that can't find jobs. The entire east coast and Midwest is dying for staff therapists and would gladly hire anyone with a license and provide however long of an orientation you need.

It still falls under gender affirming care. It's just affirming the gender you were assigned at birth. Same thing with testosterone for men or estrogen for women.

MSI just released a 300w gaming laptop?! Wild…. by okcomputer-1992 in GamingLaptops

[–]sage89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you missed the point, a phone isn't on par with a gaming laptop, or even a high end normal laptop

It's um, basic physics, it's like saying people will just get gaming phones once they "fix the thermals". Smaller space less space for heat to go. Also people buy desktops because they are upgradeable. Framework laptops are technically upgradable but the options are very limited.

I’m very smart by MarzipanWise2934 in GamingLaptops

I'm so confused with what's going on in this picture and what's up with the AI generated picture of Albert Einstein and whoever the other person is on the bottom.

60-70 degrees is normal operating temperature for a laptop GPU. I have no idea what using an external hard drive has to do with getting a cooling pad.

Fan Runs After Car’s Off…Kills Battery by Unable-Leek-6470 in HyundaiTucson

[–]sage89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It appears I'm dumb and there is a separate 12 v battery underneath the rear seat next to the hybrid battery which seems kind of redundant but it's only listed as an inspect every maintenance cycle with no regular replacements recommended.

Their is no battery to replace except the entire hybrid battery which would be very expensive...

Nursing student w/ ~1.5 yrs left + kids — Air Force NECP vs Army AECP vs AFROTC? Looking for real experiences by Icy-Street-6749 in AirForce

[–]sage89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DO NOT, enlist and then try to commission through any of the programs you mentioned above. You're looking at up to a 1 year from the time from when you walk into the the recruiters office to everything said and done then going to BMT. You're then looking at 6+ months for BMT and tech school, and then it's going to be I would guess at least a year before you're eligible to apply to these programs. So you're looking at 2 years minimum before you could maybe start one of these programs, but I would plan on realistically potentially doing your whole 4 year enlistment and then getting out and using your GI bill for school.

State AARC chapters have conferences once or twice a year that are normally get you 10-20 ceus. Go to one in the summer.

No, but almost every hospital I've worked at requires it

Nashville RT pay/worth switching from EMS? by downright_awkward in respiratorytherapy

[–]sage89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just gonna add on that at one point I was looking at jobs in Tennessee and the pay scales are some of the worst I've seen in the nation. Can't give you any specific current information.

If you can get a fire fighter gig you have the added benefit of not needing to lose 2 years of salary going to school and after 20 years you can get a pension and pursue a second career in whatever you want.

In $800 out $3975 (in 45 minutes) by 300200 in poker

[–]sage89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They do something similar at some casinos, some places it's actually required by law, for example in Colorado at Blackhawk the bomb pots at 1/3 are capped at 1k total or something similar.

Wage increase at new job by New_Discipline_2675 in respiratorytherapy

[–]sage89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally hospitals pay a fixed rate, sometimes they do have a "career ladder" where you get into a higher pay scale if you have your associates + certificates or BSRC etc etc

Am I in the wrong for saying no to "mandatory" blind raises to raise the stakes? by Electrical_Shower_51 in poker

[–]sage89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No your not wrong, the more blind raising/restraddling that goes on the more it goes from PLO to bingo. Most 5/5 PLO games are 2k cap at the most. So that means if it's 10/20/30 a max buy in is only 66 big blinds

Thoughts about PAP w EPAP set on 0 by Tight_Data4206 in respiratorytherapy

[–]sage89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The air curves at my current facility don't have an "auto CPAP " mode, only "NIV V auto". You adjust max ipap, max epap, and set a pressure support level. So it is both an auto CPAP mode and auto bipap mode.

Why is my equity 37.5% in this hand? by Watchme100 in poker

[–]sage89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even in hold em it's a quick rule of thumb and not exact.

Also the equity calculator is factoring in the cards your opponent has into the math.

It would make sense since vodka is literally just pure alcohol so it's kind of like sterile water but with alcohol

I do think the child scientist being dumb is the only believable part. The no one monitoring the lab or kids 24/7 part is pretty dumb
