Today's game was the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen sports wise. In the final play, the away team beats the home team in the final match of the championship. San Diego had literally scored with one minute remaining and everyone was excited to see a championship come to San Diego after 50 something years. Then Seattle scored in injury time on the last play. Everyone was stunned. Except the small group of away fans. They went nuts.

I was watching that game live on TV, that final rolling maul was loving WILD. What a fantastic match all around, goddamn.

I hope MLR gets more attention soon, it's a great league. Needs a better trophy though, that shield is dumb.


Also there are going to be over 2 million people in downtown Toronto for the Raptors victory parade today. Traffic is completely hosed, the commuter trains and subways are also equally hosed.

Holy poo poo.

Of course they are getting away with saying it’s not linked to sterilization because it’s not. It’s linked to decontamination and inspection. I’m sure the sterilizer and indicators are showing parameters were met.

That is a nightmare. One thing I can say about where I work is everyone deeply cares about our patients. The thing about the VA is all of our patients are fragile. We are not sending instruments off to be used on some 19 year old who can recover from a surgical site infection. Imagine surviving combat and coming home, then later on dying from cataract surgery. Or coming home and dying from a vasectomy (a lot of old dudes get snipped it’s weird). It’s loving serious what we do and we know it. We may be working in the god awful heat but those instruments are clean and working in proper order when the lock gets put on.

Man that article makes me mad. gently caress every single person who looked at dirty instruments and said eh gently caress it just push it through.

What's really scary is that's not even the worst facility I've seen. One of the major systems here had a pretty good kill count in 2015, but their legal and PR teams got ahead of it before press got too bad.

That is nuts. A distant relative through marriage died just last week after a (relatively) minor surgery, likely due to an infection. After years of good treatment at his local VAMC, they had to send him to a private hospital and the dingbats there hosed up. Obviously, they won't cop to it, and it's pretty infuriating knowing that they won't face much in the way of consequences.

Mine only does really simple stuff. Cataracts, vasectomies, lumps & bumps, T&A (heh), D&C, laps, etc.

One major hospital that just opened here has already gotten a legionnaires kill count. :smith: I hope no one is sent out for community care there.

Pick a not terrible form of exercise? Something that hurts your joints less like, I dunno, slamming your limbs in a car door for an hour or so. I do martial arts and even if I'm full on jump kicking poo poo for half an hour it's a cushioned bag designed to not gently caress up your skeleton in exchange for exercising. I'm on disability with rods and screws over various parts of my body from the poo poo running did to me and I hate that form of exercise with a passion because of it, so I've had to do a fair amount of investigating of alternatives.

If you have a YMCA nearby they tend to have pools that have shallow parts that are set aside for old broken people to do non-impact exercises in and that is some seriously good poo poo. There's membership free-time most of the time and then some of the bigger YMCAs will do stuff like pool yoga that doesn't hurt.

Well OK, doesn't hurt your joints. Muscles are a different story. Yoga is some bonkers poo poo.

I walk my dog twice a day, that's pretty easy on the joints.

But this is four miles total, so maybe not.

Possibly never? I've been slowly working my way back into running over the past few months and it definitely feels harder on the joints than a few years ago. I mostly ride a bike these days which is super amazingly fun and a lot less impact on your legs.

check out swimming or cycling. poo poo that doesn't have high impact on your joints is a solid way of staying in shape, plus it's a ton of fun to be fast on a bike or in the pool.

I use the elliptical because it’s low/no impact on my joints. I’ve lost 9 pounds doing it and will probably keep doing it to hit my goal of losing 15 pounds. Being light infantry and rucking 12+ miles/running 5+ miles all the loving time on tarmac destroyed my joints.

God drat it army every memory I have of you is how you hosed me up.

Maybe that’s the source of my anger problems.

Weird recommendation maybe but buy better running shoes. I like Salomons, the Speedcross 4s have been especially kind to my feet. All those little nubs on the bottom constantly flexing and poo poo really soaks up a ton of the blow on my ankles and knees, and I wear them to work all the drat time. Probably my best standing around shoe too. Light, flexible, and I can still comfortably walk the dog after work in them, unlike the Merrells I have. The rubber cleats on the bottom have a tendency to make them slick on wet surfaces though, like painted speed bumps and anything resembling ice.

LA police gear sent me an email about a clearance on Salomon boots yesterday. I'll probably get a pair this fall.

Yea I got properly fitted for a pair of Saucony’s last week. I like running when it all clicks. What I don’t like is how fluky it feels. I’m in the first month or so of taking it seriously. Some days 4 miles is easy. And others it’s a big challenge to get beyond a mile. I figure it’s the not something to rush.

Serious recommendation for everybody: if you can find a real, no-poo poo store for runners, have them check your feet out and fit you for shoes. They should ask you to walk / run around the shop so that they can take your gait into account, as well.

You will find no one to help you here. Beth DuClare has been dissected and placed in cryonic storage.

I like running more now that I'm out and can dictate my own pace and distance. Feeling like poo poo? gently caress it, cut it off at two miles. Feeling froggy? Do four or five.

It's still not my favorite form of exercise, but it's more tolerable now.

For real. Fleet Feet let me return a pair of Nike Pegasus shoes that murdered my feet and then had me try on three different pairs for quick jogs on their store treadmill.

They were extremely helpful.

I'm no fan of running, but I can take a steady jog. I'd rather go gently caress around in the woods, but work has been wearing my rear end out this week. Need to move to the other side of town too, even being fifteen minutes from some trails feels like a mile too far after work.

Goddamn I need to move to the loving mountains already.

Probably going to say yes, I would much rather be THE MASTER OF TASKS for this completely new contract/new office being established than try and unfuck the VA.

edit: a tasks master is a chief of staff function, they are one part program manager, one part scheduler, one part compliance. When poo poo comes down, it goes to tasks. Then tasks...tasks it out.

Well, someone in my class just passed out giving a presentation. Locked her knees, and just went lights out. I rushed over and made sure she's ok. No one else moved.

What would be more embarrassing though? That scenario or as a color guard? I felt bad as it happened. Especially since she still had more to present.
