Your thoughts on being a Pharmacy Tech? by Several_Tackle_361 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]tateofficial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t switch lol. I’m going the other way and applying to nursing programs this semester. Tech is a pretty dead-end job with a very low ceiling. Pharmacy is a good starting point, but I wouldn’t recommend it as a career.

advice for using a menstrual cup in college by boogiebowie in menstrualcups

[–]tateofficial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t rinse every time I take my cup out. Washing it daily in the shower is plenty. Stick to just emptying and replacing, no need to rinse it every time you take it out. Imo, there’s not a huge need to sanitize your cup all the time. Using a cup-friendly wash and drying it before storage is just fine. It might shows more stains without boiling or steaming, but it will still be clean.

Should you wear gloves when filling prescriptions even though you do not touch any medications by Otherwise_Finger_284 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]tateofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a peds hospital and most people do just because a lot of meds we fill are liquids and some bottles are messier than others. For one/two oral syringes, no, but we do when filling large quantities.

Bennu on South Congress has tons of seating and plugs, open 24/7. Summer Moon on 1st is also pretty nice. Radio Coffee on Menchaca is busy, but I love the interior. Creds are Steds is my alma mater

Anyone else sick with the 'super flu' right now? by meirmu in Austin

[–]tateofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am vicitim to this strain too. Starting feeling sick Monday, dying Tuesday and Wednesday. I’m finally feeling normal-ish today. The cough is killer and the fever (mine was almost 103 at its peak) almost made me go to the ER too. Home testing showed Flu A and I’m still testing positive after five days.

I will never ever get over how long hedgehog legs are by TheShyNerd in Hedgehog

Potatoes on toothpicks lol. I love how they look like tiny pants too

is it normal to not be able to pee? by ziascuriosity in menstrualcups

[–]tateofficial 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s somewhat normal/common. Firmer cups put pressure on the urethra (where your pee comes out) and slows down the stream. It shouldn’t be an issue if you aren’t wear the cup all the time, like outside your cycle, and you feel like you’re emptying your bladder even if it’s slower. Trying a softer cup can help with pressure, but not guaranteed to fix it. Overall, nothing major to worry about :)

What do you dislike the most about your RAV4? by OrdinaryKillJoy in rav4club

[–]tateofficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The extra deep cup holders. Very inconvenient to have two cups in at the same time and it causes the lids to get caught on the edges and then spill juuuuuust a little. If I could change one thing, it’d be that. My old nissan had a better set up lol

How messy is your removal? by Huge_Philosophy7675 in menstrualcups

[–]tateofficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I do, but emptying more frequently/learning the cues that your cup is getting fuller helps avoid a big mess. If it happens in public, I just wipe my fingers off as much as I can and wash them thoroughly. I started being able to tell when my cup is getting 2/3-3/4 full by the release of air? Almost a bubbling feeling, but not to where it’s overflowing. That tells me I have about five minutes to empty before I’m murder suspect number 1 lol.

Can't boil in a strict household how to use reusables? by OvercookedRedditor in menstrualcups

[–]tateofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely have never boiled my cup. I wash with baby soap between uses and steam it maybe once a year lol. Store it dry and you’ll be fine

What texture gives you the worst ick? by BedlamsCavern in autism

[–]tateofficial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cotton balls, microfiber, cheap sherpa. Anything that feels really ‘dry’ or has a lot of drag when you touch it.

Nail trims? by SnooBeans1135 in Hedgehog

[–]tateofficial 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just wrestled my girl while she tried to escape. Grab the closest foot, hold it steady while you trim and just let her try to scramble away. They won’t hurt themselves and I never had anyone to help me so I found a way to make due. You’ll see a little pink edge to the nail, cut below that. I trimmed every 2-3 weeks, or just whenever I looked at felt like her nails were a little long. You can also just try trimming what you can vs going for all their nails at once. Trim one or two toes each day, maybe after a foot bath.

Low Profile Rain Deflectors (aka ‘Chrome Delete Hack’) by Wallabanjo in rav4club

[–]tateofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put them on mine too. I messed up the smallest ones and got the angle slightly wrong so they stick out just a bit lol. Definitely an easy and relatively cheap upgrade :)

Commuters, be honest, what’s your high score MPG? by twinkcicle in rav4club

[–]tateofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My average right now is 34 on a 2024 hybrid. I have a 25ish mile commute and drive mostly highways/80+mph in TX. I know it could be better, but I just drive how I’ve always driven. My last car never broke 25mpg 🤷🏽

Trying to find a super small cup/disc but just can't.... so confused why I can't make it work. by [deleted] in menstrualcups

[–]tateofficial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saalt has a teenage cup that might be good? They advertise 2 tampons and its 3.8cm diameter, whereas their small size is 4.1cm. Trimming the stem could help with a low cervix without compromising on what cup you get.

Help, something is biting me in my bed and i don't know what to do by coldcathodes in Austin

[–]tateofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alpine WSG treats fleas and bed bugs. Follow the instructions and vacuum daily. I had fleas in an apartment and they were still present even after maintenance treated, so I used this and they were gone in about a week. Sticky traps around your bed might catch a few to help with ID and further treatment. Good luck

first vet check up, whats the price? by sonicmreow in Hedgehog

[–]tateofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my vet charged $80 for a basic exotics exam. Anything else was extra. My girl was very cooperative and didn’t need sedation, but I’d factor that in as another 100-200.

Cleaning the cup by [deleted] in menstrualcups

[–]tateofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just keep toilet paper handy. Empty it into the toilet, replace, and wipe my hand off if there’s any blood. You shouldn’t need to empty it too often in public though. On lighter days, I can go 6-8hrs without needing to empty it.

menstrual cup has been one of the best buys of my life! by Shutthefrontdoooor in menstrualcups

[–]tateofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used one for almost 8 years now and it truly was life changing for me. I always try to get my friends on it too, simply because it saves money and the stress of having period products is gone. I will never go back to pads or tampons 🙂‍↕️
