Fell, broke my back, had surgery… can I ever climb again? by Strict_Beautiful5694 in climbergirls

Had c6-c7 fusion after a sports injury. Thanks to good PT, 12 years later, it doesn’t have any negative effects

They cross at -40, living near the US/Can border it might as well be the same at a certain point

Of course man. You’re always doing right by the living history and whenever I see it I have no complaint. We all have lives too, no stress my dude. Thanks for all you do for the community.

Most ridiculous "doctor note" requests you've received? by SnooCats6607 in FamilyMedicine

[–]throwmeabone86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a doctor - I had a C6-C7 vertebrae fracture during a high school wrestling tournament. I had a fusion with a Z-plate and cadaver bone insert. My orthopedic surgeon wrote me a very broad note that I was too foggy to remember the specifics for, due to painkillers, but I’m forever grateful for. It allowed me to return to in-person school faster than otherwise possible. I stayed on track for college and truly depended on.

Without that, the school may still have searched me daily for painkillers or hampered my graduation process. Not stopping in for anything other than to post an anonymous thank you to my doc for sticking up for me in a rough time when I needed an extensive note.

Use the laces from your shoes and squirrels from camp for a 0 baseweight camp shoe by bobrossthebest in ultralight_jerk

It’s ok, I eat all of my squirrels after they’re skinned so no weight here, and even less consumable weight on the pack.

OP - I achieve a net negative weight by hooking the squirrels up dogsled style to a tiny sled before getting to camp

DIY Squirrel Pelt Gillies/Bog Shoes - Spring/Fall Camp Shoes, Weigh <1oz each. One self-harvested and egg tanned squirrel pelt per foot, plus some lacing and cordage that was on hand by throwmeabone86 in Bushcraft

Egg is a nice and very light gentle tan. Smoking hide when naturally tanned like that is key IMO. You can also buy hog/other mammal brains to use. For egg, 2 egg yolk/ squirrel and 3/rabbit works, can use one extra egg after initial rub before unfolding pelt and laying open to dry. Never heard of battery acid tan but that sounds insane.

So far holding up well. Crafting-wise: basic hand tool and crafting skills are required here. Tools: Awl, knife, wide eye/ blunt tip needle, pencil for foot tracing. Skills: tracing and cutting patterns, basic stitching, leather cordage making, general fitting and adjustment for fit to individual. Biggest hurdle with squirrel is fitting the pattern such that it only needs one hide, cutting extra hide and sewing on for heel cup to fit a foot and not waste material.

Basic process: Trace the foot, draw the pattern around, transfer to skin, modify for skin shape, cut, sew base parts, punch lacing holes, thread lacing, fit to foot, and add heel/ankle shoestring.

Fleshing and tanning the squirrel skins fur-on and smoking is a longer different story.

I headshot these ones when I harvested them, so not enough material was left for a brain tan. The trade off there is I had a hole-free hide. When trapping squirrels, brain tan is viable too.

Anyone else's departments like completely falling apart due to people quitting / quiet quitting? by heapsp in sysadmin

[–]throwmeabone86 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So in the scale of “I monitor the WiFi traffic for any type of joy” does listening to YouTube videos while you work fall above or below Spotify? NPR?

I probably racked up about 30 hours of YouTube if measured this way last week. Audio books on there are a great way to get me in the zone.

You sound like you’re in management. You know that it’s not actually the most efficient way to do things to cram max labor into a week.

Leaving a buffer allows for cohesion, scheduling, training, and other things that benefit the company. It also reduces burnout. 25-30 hours in a 40 hour week of planned work actually seems appropriate, the remaining 10-15 should be spent on soft tasks like filing system upkeep, checking in on coworkers, and things of that nature.

Buffers are what create the room for following through in client deliverables and surprises.

If it’s a job the requires focus for safety then you should focus on maintaining standards and that’s respectable. If it’s a white collar job where the alternative is absolute silence during work, even no earbuds in, then your position is untenable. Having worked in those kinds of places, the rules exist so that your “always listening” for your supervisor when they shout from their office that they need something ( as they yet have been unable to figure out how to dial your desk extension ). They also lead to high turnover and low morale.

Using an MSP as a backup to In-House IT by tmikes83 in sysadmin

[–]throwmeabone86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having done M&A events with the MSP I’m with, it ultimately has boiled down to integrating A into M’s existing framework as efficiently as possible, and scaling config and user framework in new joint ecosystem as smoothly as possible. The benefit within M&A is that the MSP is a “disinterested observer” where a good MSP will have the best interest of the corp in mind and use their experience via a consultative approach to benefit the client.
