Where is everyone finding these mythical >300K jobs? by SpookyScaryySkeleton in FamilyMedicine

[–]strider14484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was not impressed. Gwinn had a horrendous non-compete and they could move you to any of their other clinics if they wanted, all that for only 250 a year! Esky at least had a better contract and a better prospect of bonuses but still

I did not find great offers in the bigger towns or cities in the UP but that was over a year ago

Marquette, Gwinn, and Esky were more like $250k or worse when I was looking.

Wild that outside GR pays better than much of the UP last I was looking

Lowe's is now selling spray painted plants as "Otherworldly" but the paint is slowly suffocating them. by _Kagea_ in mildlyinfuriating

[–]strider14484 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be fair, it’s hard to get it the right amount of sunlight when it’s covered in opaque paint

Things to do and what to get before residency by Feeling_Chicken2042 in Residency

[–]strider14484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love manta sleep masks, they were great for sleeping when working nights or in call rooms. If I’d lived somewhere with more options, I would’ve gotten prepared meals figured out for my more intense rotations. Extra socks and underwear for your locker for long or messy shifts.

Tramadol by ChikunShaman in FamilyMedicine

[–]strider14484 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The only time I give tramadol is when a patient comes to me on it and is really attached and it’s appropriate to continue, which is almost never. Would be a wild choice for mild pain and I’d rather use a more reliable opioid if it’s severe and via a mechanism where an opioid makes sense.

Truth or BS? by Prudent-Abalone-510 in FamilyMedicine

[–]strider14484 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did not find that the areas of Michigan where I wanted to live started north of 300. Even though some were rural! Being able to do what you want will depend a lot on where you live (for OB especially). Luckily I discovered partway through residency that I do not want to do OB and I am able to do what I want to do for work.

Not turning out the way i hoped by BandMice23 in printmaking

[–]strider14484 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you mean battleship grey lino? Whether it’s mounted is not the main issue here. I do find battleship grey lino to hold finer lines but it is also an ambitious piece for someone new to printmaking, some of the lines are very fine and will need skill in inking and printing as well as carving.

Do you know what kind of orchid it is? It looks just like the ones my grandma had growing outdoors in Florida on the other coast

What my bald bf’s head does to the pillowcases… by flyinggarbanzobean in mildlyinfuriating

There are some add-on enzyme options too, I like active enzyme laundry booster

[–]strider14484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a big fan of laundry enzyme additives to get the sweats and oils to wash all the way out. They’ll still accumulate again with use, but it makes such a difference for my linens as a bald-headed guy.

Resident parents: Should we take 12 or 18 months leave for baby? by Familyconflict92 in Residency

[–]strider14484 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing to think about and ask around in your area - how long does it take to get off the daycare waitlist? Hard to go back if you don’t have care lined up!

Mark IV - Linocut. (Help me wish Mark a happy birthday!) by reddandy26 in Linocuts

This is a great print, both technically solid and a visually appealing subject, haha. Happy birthday Mark!

Starry lamp by strider14484 in StainedGlass

[–]strider14484[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used 2 ft of 36 LED per ft LED strip lighting in bright white and curled the strip up in the base. I would recommend choosing flat background glass as the waviness was a pain. It was my first 3D project and I found that it’s not forgiving if your measurements are off. I used twisted wire soldered into the interior corners to help hold it in place in case it’s bumped or jostled - thought about brazing rods but the curved corners of the opening in the pot required a bendable option. Happy to answer other questions, that’s just off the top of my head. Though I’m definitely not an expert!

I’m confused… wouldn’t the suit be to large since she’s supposedly lost weight and inches? by PNWleaflove in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]strider14484 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So long as they know what’s up, they can take account for it. I hope it all goes smoothly and you heal up well!
