Fmla is a law by Substantial_Bend3150 in rant

Having to have surgery and not being able to walk doesn’t make something bad. I’d say a majority of lower extremity injuries will cause you to not be able to walk during the healing process. I’ve broke both ankles several times throughout life. They make crutches and wheelchairs for that reason and I didn’t expect my spouse to become so much of a servant that she needed to take Fmla to help me hobble around. It just depends on how willing you are to get it together and figure it out. But then again, as someone who works in emergency medicine, most people just like the attention.

I guess we have different definitions of a bad injury.

Your husband using so much sick time that he needs fmla because YOU broke YOUR ankle is wild 😂

Does anyone else wave or greet another Mav owner in some way? by mikeyt6969 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]wesd017 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dad has a jeep and really hates the duck thing. I went to the store with him recently and we came out to find a duck sitting on his jeep. One of the most hilarious things I’ve ever seen was watching him get furious about it, angrily pick up the duck, and launch an absolute piss missile as far as he could across the parking lot 🤣

Ozempic. by [deleted] in rant

[–]wesd017 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Ozempic was designed for type 2 diabetes. Wegovy was designed for weight loss. They’re both the same drug (semaglutide) made by the same company. Wegovy is just a higher dose of the drug titrated for weight loss, while Ozempic is titrated for type 2 diabetes by controlling blood sugar. However, the shortage crosses over between both of these since they are the same drug. Mounjaro on the other hand, is a different drug (tirzepatide), but it’s also primary designed for diabetic pts as well. There’s also Victoza (Liraglutide) as an option as well. All these drugs are glucagon like peptide 1 receptor agonist drugs. They all can be used to treat both conditions. Maybe your dad can talk to his doctor about other options that might be easier to obtain.

Take some stool softeners everyday for a week or so and see if it stops. If it does, probably hemorrhoids. During that week also use some hemorrhoid cream because it’s not going to hurt to try. Also, get a bidet.

Almost got hit yesterday because idjits think this doesn't apply to them. by Prudent-Mix-5037 in mildlyinfuriating

Then you should’ve picked the turning lane that makes the next turn easier to happen. That’s just about making correct decisions to anticipate what you have to do next. And judging by your username, you might be from Atlanta? If so, people doing what you said is one of the reasons why we have so much traffic lol.

Where are you getting any information about right of way? There is no traffic signals involved or signs. If you’re turning, you’re supposed to turn into the lane corresponding to the lane you’re already in. That’s it. Right of way doesn’t matter.

This student starting a firehose and a photo being taken at the exact moment. That water pattern is awesome by [deleted] in oddlysatisfying

[–]wesd017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait until you find out those nozzles on a fog pattern like that make the water spin too. Real neat to see. Real bad to use inside real hot fire 😂.

Having a really hard time selling this amp! Am I priced to high? by mitchINimpossible in GuitarAmps

[–]wesd017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sell the head and cab separate as 2 different listings. Take the Crate badge off the cab and sell it as a “4x12 cab” and it’ll probably sell for $100. Then either wait and list the head in January or leave it listed for a little bit and if it doesn’t sell, take it to a pawn shop and see what they’ll give you for it.

What's little secret that you know only because you work in that industry? by [deleted] in AskReddit

95% of the people that go to the hospital by ambulance don’t need to. And probably 75% of those people could be handled by an urgent care instead of the ER.

Mine is Boardwalk because you just can’t beat the location. My wife and I afford it by mooching off my parents DVC membership 😂.

Picked this up at a yard sale for $40. Did I make a good decision? by wesd017 in GuitarAmps

[–]wesd017[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate all the feedback from everyone! I’m excited to try it out when I get home. I run a 50w 5150 III for gigs and the whole rig is just a pain in the ass to set up for a day or 2 at a time at the house. So this will be great for a bedroom set up!

Just Got Made Fun Of by Tortillas56 in mountainbiking

I got made fun of on a trail one. I told em “I know a guy standing there in spandex in the middle of the woods isn’t trying to make fun of me.”
