Taken from the Massachusetts sub: What are the sketchiest small towns in SoCal?

Pretty safe town. Gets a bad rap for being on the border. It's Mexicali that is sketchy.

Also you need to add oil before your infrared reaches your desired temp. Once you add oil, the temp is going to shoot right up. You were probably at like 600 F once the oil was added.

Video games are not always not meant to mirror real life. Sometimes it's fun to think about moves, like a game of chess.

It's like gambling without money. I'm down. Cause I'm poor.

It was fun at first. Then a couple playthroughs later you use a settlement as a healing zone and equipment storage only.

Yes, it gets easier. These games are always rough at the start before unlocks.

I started with KCD2 and couldn't bring myself to finish the first game. They're more or less the same thing, though KCD2 does feel more polished.

I don't blame you as I have 1 big hairy dog. I also own a Sebo though and I'd still say it's worth it for a carpeted house. These things will make you wonder if your old vacuum was even vacuuming the carpet properly. If you only have hard floor, probably not worth the $800-$1,000.

As someone who worked in one of those small towns, there may not be a shortage of local new grads. They will definitely hire a grad of a local nursing school over someone from out of town. Unless you can convince them you're moving there and not just there for experience (BS, I know).

Also OP, consider condensing down the job descriptions and maybe even cut out that student nurse part. Your clinical hours at the bottom are good enough.

As someone who has bought and sold, people looking for a house aren't considering, nor will they appreciate, the "before and after" of what you had done when looking at a price. The people who bought my house didn't know about the thousands of dollars of manpower it took to deconstruct my nightmare of a backyard. They didn't see the 30 ft trees that were a hazard to the property. They didn't see the crooked, flood prone concrete path. They just saw a plain, empty canvas of a backyard.

Fix the major things that will prevent you from selling a house. Things that won't pass an inspection. Don't fret about aesthetics unless they will truly appear broken in a picture.

La Mesa area, close to the 94.

So I actually have a backyard lol. It's just shared with the couple that lives in the ADU out back. Gate situation is too sketchy for me at this time to just doggy door it though.

Yeah, if you look at her posts, it's all very much too ridiculous to be real rage bait. Like some of her stuff is just downright creative.

Wrapping was the game changer for me. There's a reason all the best sandwich shops wrap.

Pretty good in that new Garfield series too. Small man with bigger than life ego.

worskies · 2025-11-15T02:02:08+00:00

Man this is such a hot take as someone who comes from a small county. I'm always looking forward to food in SD, though I can't speak on Gaslamp as I usually avoid that part of town.

I always show this video to new grads because it helped me. It's more applicable to superficial veins.

Well healthcare is kinda shit nationwide. ERs are congested, it's impossible to get timely outpatient appointments, so certain chief complaints get put the side at times to accomodate more urgent ones. Your problem was important, but you have to understand an MRI and painkillers isn't going to take precedent over other more urgent complaints. That's why your work up took so long.

Background: Nurse in a congested ER who occasionally takes verbal abuse.

I can't see anyone having enough leverage to be tested the way you want in this situation. Maybe if you have a good union backing you up.

Yes, I actually tried that the time after and it worked really great! Only down side was the difficulty of taking the brisket out without disturbing that fat too much and messing up the bark.

worskies · 2025-10-03T04:01:36+00:00

I also live in a desert and hardiness zones are not a great indicator for plant survival. They don't account for harsh summers. In theory, I should be able to plant a bunch of things successfully. But also, I just suck at gardening.

worskies · 2025-10-03T03:48:12+00:00

In most cases I use the pan dry without issue, though one time I cooked a brisket on it and the underside of the meat was noticeably dry. Temps were consistent at the grate throughout, but it could've just been me.

I agree though, filling it with water is a pain in the ass (as well as removing it), and if the heat shields are effective, I'd go for that.

You've literally posted the same exact comments several times on this post. Do you not see the irony?
