It’s a stark reminder too that all the undead racist shitbags in congress who are trying to take us back have working adult knowledge of a worse world they’re trying to bring back.

What scares me are all the young shitbags who also want to go back to that worse world.

I mean, generalizations are what they are but I don’t think everyone is assuming a wearer of that shirt is racist or sexist or anything.

Pity it’s become part of the southern white privilege uniform though. Along with hats and flags. Masters flags pop up all over my neighborhood every spring.

My front door latch was getting harder and harder to open, so I opened it up to see what I could do.

I did not know spiders could crawl inside those things, die, and gum up the works. Lesson learned.

But after cleaning it out and hitting it with some silicone lubricant, feels like it’s working now and I’m goddamned Bob Vila bitches.

City called us and said we’re leaking 120 gallons of water an hour. Checked toilets, laundry room, hoses and narrowed it down to my water heater. Did a flush cause I did notice some knocking recently, while i was in there noticed the t&p valve is hissing so I went around back to its drain pipe and yup steady stream. So what are the odds it’s just the valve or is my pressure hosed? Turned down the heaters temp to no avail

Probably just a valve has lost a seal. Rubber wears out, but I'd probably call a plumber because you can have multiple failures.

I always advise people to buy a cheap diary and make note of anything that concerns or makes you uncomfortable from above you with dates etc at any job. If HR ever gives me something like that about what I do on company time I'd reference being in a stressful work environment as a result of this entire year of misconduct/inappropriate comments/jokes etc etc etc.

It's a nice little gently caress you security blanket. I don't care about my job but I will happily drag a company through the mud for not leaving me alone to check football scores for 5 minutes on a monday.

Had my first multi trauma last night.

90% of the time this gig is just grandmas falling down and going boom, and me getting them set up for surgery in the morning. I do simple reductions, splints, order everything etc.

Last night the “brakes went out” on an RV full of people. None were restrained and the RV went down an embankment/off a cliff. No one could give any meaningful history. Some were trapped for 90 minutes and just kept getting transferred at a slow trickle throughout the evening.

Everyone had broken bones. And not just broken bones but like horrible breaks. One patient had a hx of multiple strokes and her left hemisphere just wasn’t there at all and she was cackling while they tried to intubate her. I did not sit down or chart until 3 am.

And to cap it off, I had my first true ortho trauma emergency come in at 430. Sweet little old lady with a broken heel.

This is all to say tonight better be a little more Q word.

This is a good idea but I actually have no grievances with anyone I work with. Even direct reports (of which I have 2) are very cool and do right by me. It's just everything else that is a mess that I wouldn't mind walking away from.

Hell yeah sounds metal as hell. You doing general trauma or just ortho?

RVs have gnarly rear end wrecks because people are allergic to seatbelts if there’s a couch available.

Minivans too, at night. Because everyone twists their seatbelts around oddly for comfort.

There is a good chance your temperature & pressure relief valve (TPR, or T&P as you called it) has let go. They are designed to fail "safe", and "safe" with a TPR is "open" (it's there to prevent steam explosions).

It is unlikely that you have a whole house overpressure situation, you'd know that from high pressure coming out all your faucets and stuff, unless you somehow have your water heater connected upstream of a pressure regulator.

The TPR is a replacement part.

the only thing I've seen about it is this, and at least the Mastodon part tracks with my experience (though I generally have found a good server to be on there, which I know is an inherent issue - somebody needs to make a good sports server there as a lifeboat from the bird app)

I am really glad I took the whole week off instead of trying to work because I am still on Hawaiian time. I did come back for nice weather and a bunch of "for the love of god the water is still cold" warnings since 70+ degree weather gets everyone on the water.

At this point midway through the first round, three college teams have had two players selected each in the NFL draft. Alabama, Georgia, and Iowa.

Georgia scored 616 points last season.
Alabama scored 534.

Iowa scored 230.
