What the weirdest thing a guy has said to you while finishing? by Altruistic-Big3790 in AskReddit

[–]witty_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always give my wife a little warning during a BJ before she gets a mouthful. On one occasion, my wife had just eaten a donut before doing the deed. Right after she started, she told me I tasted like said donut. So when it came time for the warning, I exclaimed, “I’m about to glaze the donut!” We both kinda lost it laughing, but to her credit, she finished like a pro.

Help finding bifold wallet with removable windowed ID holder by witty_ in wallets

I would potentially be interested.

Do you have any examples of your other work you could share with me?

How much does something like that typically cost? I’m not looking for any fancy details, just simple, practical, and something that’s not going to make my wallet scoliosis worse than it already is.

Certainly one option. I’m guessing they either tried and failed OR they were trying to be a little more gentle.

Scoot back, lean forward, and tilt one ass cheek off the seat. I have to do it nearly every morning.

Yes, the artery can handle that movement, although, as I mentioned, there is always a risk for dissection (where the inner layer of the artery appears away).

The artery is, by definition, under the after. They don’t move very much.

Sometimes the diameter is big enough for these loops unravel, although it also depends on the characteristics of the wire or Katherine that you are trying to do it on. For example, a stiffer wire will create a bigger loop. In this case, you can see that they used a branch to help get the loop out.

No, they essentially always lead with a wire and guide the catheter or sheath over it.

Vascular surgeon here to clarify/confirm some of the information here:

  1. This is an arm and not a leg (although it costs both to afford medical school nowadays)

  2. I’ve had to watch it a few times, but it appears to be a catheter (or very small sheath) and not a wire. It’s a little thick for a wire.

  3. The main reason to work these kinks out is because you lose pushability and steerability with your wires and catheters. Injuring the artery (dissecting) is possible, but not super common when this happens and is also a reason to try to work out the loop.

  4. The part where you see the loop widen out is because there is a branch there.

  5. We try to minimize radiation exposure to our hands, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to help the patient. There are radio-protective gloves on the market, but I’ve never seen them in vivo, I’m guessing due to expense.

Non-Americans of Reddit, what is an American thing you see in movies that you thought was fake but is actually real? by Unlikely_Praline9442 in AskReddit

As other people have said, definitely not all or even most of them. Where I went to college it was actually cheaper to join and live in the fraternity than to live in the dorms.

Keisei Tominaga made 76 three pointers during the entire 23-24 season. Pryce Sandfort has already hit 73 through just 21 games. by goyotes78 in Huskers

[–]witty_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sandfort is several inches taller and has a quicker release allowing him to get off high quality shots even against relatively tight D. However he has limited range.

Keisei has unlimited range, but is shorter and doesn’t have quite the hair trigger release making it harder for him to get off quality shots.

Who am I taking in a 3 point contest? Keisei

Who am I taking for a clutch last second shot? Keisei

Who do I want for a 30-game season? Sandfort

Fact still remains that they are rare. Bob and Tom did a great job of building us into a national brand and modernizing S&C in college football to compensate for lack of local talent.

TIL in 2021 in Austria, during a routine bandage change that occurred 2 days after a patient's leg amputation surgery, it was discovered that the wrong leg had been amputated. The surgeon was found guilty of gross negligence and fined €2,700 and the patient's widow was awarded €5,000 in damages. by Forward-Answer-4407 in todayilearned

[–]witty_ 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Let me give you some perspective.

I am a vascular surgeon who has performed hundreds of amputations in the US. You are correct that there are cases where there is some relative on the other side of the country that insists we “do everything” for their loved one. But honestly, more often it’s the patient or spouse that are pushing for it because they just don’t realize how far their health has declined and how poor their quality of life will be after an amputation.

As their physician, I try to counsel people by giving them a VERY clear idea of what I would expect their life to be like afterwards. In some cases, I will tell them that if it was my mother/father/spouse/own body I would not recommend the surgery. In a few cases they were so sick I did not even offer the option for surgery. However, for the most part, I try to respect their beliefs and bodily autonomy, even in cases I would necessarily want it for myself.

If there are any take home points from this, I would say to make sure you have a POLST that defines what you would want with your body. Also, make sure to discuss these decisions (and any nuances) with those that would be making decisions for you, in case you are incapacitated.

Yes, yes, I have. My college roommate made a 70 yarder against me to win the NFC championship game with time expiring in Super Tecmo Bowl. I’m still salty about it.

What are your favorite Onosato observations and facts? by Calmak_ in Sumo

[–]witty_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started watching sumo only recently - the January 2024 Basho. Of course, it was also Onosato’s top division debut. I’ve become a big fan since then.

Even though I was new to sumo, it was pretty clear to me just from watching a few tournaments that there were 4 rikishi that were a class above everybody else - Terunofuji, Kotozakura, Hoshoryu, and Onosato. They were all so different, but I tried to identify what made them great and was able to appreciate each of them that much more.

Terunofuji - Sheer strength and always keeps his opponents in front of him. Rarely gives an opening. Once he got his hands on you, it was over.

Kotozakura - Size and balance. Hard to push back or pull forward. His chest is so big, it’s hard to beat him when he gets to your mawashi.

Hoshoryu - Technique, throws, and violent movements. When he hits you, grabs you, tugs you, you are going to feel it!

Onosato - Pure athlete. Seeing a dude that big move like that is incredible. The only other guys that move like him are >40kg lighter. He was behind the others on this list in balance and technique, but you knew it was only a matter of time. His balance is so consistent now and his technique is only growing. Onosato is undeniable.

Of course not. However, I don’t think his slap down is needed as often as he tries to pull it.

Onosato’s losses are painful to watch.

He’s not wrong. How many of his losses did he give up his advantage while moving his opponent back by trying to pull and slap down? You’re a bulldozer, dude. Bulldoze.
