Applebees Appetizer posted:Lemme guess, they justify the wage by calling it an "entry level" position They'll fill the position, and easily. I took an 18k job right out of college half a lifetime ago, because my girlfriend at the time was finishing up school in the city, and because I didn't want to go without health insurance. I had a 3.8 GPA with two degrees under my belt. They offer crap wages because they'll still fill the position, because this country makes it an attractive option.

Applebees Appetizer posted:The resort I work at pays the lowest housekeeping wages on the beach so it's a revolving door and the owner complains he can't find good help. gently caress off, pay the good employees a decent living wage and it wouldnt be a problem idiot. I'd love to see what the employee market would look like if we gave everyone medical, prescription, dental, and vision coverage. If people could job-hunt without that hanging over them, employers would have to actually compete rather than being able to rely on people being desperate for any job. Throw a universal basic income in there too for added shareholder and CEO handwringing.

Suburban Dad posted:I haven't really done any Christmas shopping. And I don't really want to, either. I don't want anything and don't want people to waste money on useless crap for me but I'm sure it'll happen anyway. Why can't you just tell your family "Let's just not this year?" and it actually happen? Seems everyone has guilt in not buying garbage for people. My sister and I have agreed simply to do a nice dinner out every year. My parents are actually very good about presents as well, usually doing something utilitarian that they know we need. I do need to figure out what to get my nephews, since obviously they do get excited about receiving presents. One's just turned five, the other will be eight in February. I'm thinking of getting the pirate-themed package from The Mysterious Package Company for the older one, but no clue on the younger guy.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Lol at the gift card rage, jesus ... and as it turned out, the cards were good at any Darden Group restaurant, we had $250 worth, and our hotel was next to an Eddie V's. It was a positively fantastic meal.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Any bourbon geeks here? Need a suggestion for good SMOOTH bourbon that isn't too expensive, I'm willing to spend around $100. I'm not a bourbon guy. Hard liquor tends to have a distinct rubbing-alcohol odor and aftertaste for me. Despite that, I've been really happy with the Bird Dog 10 Year Very Small Batch I picked up. It's also only about forty bucks.

ilkhan posted:Kids are a loving treat. Book presentation due tomorrow, 3 minutes long, specific requirements, he's had the assignment issue for months. We ask him to give us his presentation for practice. It's 58 seconds long. We ask for the assignment page and it also requires a visual aid (that he doesn't have) and a specific outline on how to present it. When I was young, I forgot that I was supposed to write a short paper (like, a page or something, this was grade school) until the night before. It was too late to do it, so my dad said that he would wake me up early and help me with it. When I woke up, he had handwritten the assignment. I copied it down and turned it in, got an A. I remember it well, a page in my dad's block print on Tutankhamun. And then when I looked it up, he had literally copied the entry from our home encyclopedia. I found out much later that my dad (who is an electrical engineer) hadn't written an essay since high school. He was thinking of just working in the mines, and my grandmother filled out his college application including the personal statement, and wrote every essay he was assigned in college. What's particularly funny about this is that he's not a bad writer ... apparently just a very lazy one.

Darchangel posted:Titanium, at least the one I have, scratches easily, which surprised the heck out of me. I’m wearing tungsten carbide now, but thinking about a silicone one. Normally, I just take the ring off when working in the garage or whatever. Fun fact: If you try to get a titanium ring engraved after purchase, when you get it back they generally will tell you, "It was getting scratched, so we polished it for you!" They have, in fact, thrown out your original ring and given you a new one, it's cheaper and easier.

Nah, that'd be easy. Pull out the hammer, demonstrate what you're going to do by putting something on the beside table and then dramatically miss it several times, and then say, "Close enough, now put your penis on that table." When we treat priapism, just pulling out a big loving needle and syringe and saying, "I'm going to stick this in your dick and take 60cc of blood out of it," often is enough to resolve the issue.

The Royal Nonesuch posted:Lmao. How often do you see priapisms? Are they usually due to Viagra? Rarely, but a doc was injecting one yesterday as I came in to work. Usually with us they're pharmacologic (trazodone is common, but every once in a while a guy'll take a bunch of Viagra). Jefferson sees a bunch of sickle cell patients, though, so that's probably the main etiology there. If Sudafed, IM terbutaline, or aspiration doesn't work, you stick a butterfly in the side to irrigate with phenylephrine. The last time I had to do that, the pharmacist repeatedly asked me what I was ordering and then asked me to spell it. That doesn't leave you feeling very confident about what you are planning to inject into the dong in front of you. Regarding wedding rings, my friend proposed on the slope of a volcano in Hawaii. When they got divorced, I recommended that he return there to throw the ring into the lava so that her reign of evil could end. I don't think that he ever got around to that.

spog posted:In between fainting and whimpering, I'd be wondering if 60cc were the standard amount that they take from everyone, or if they were using a junior-sized syringe for me. "Sir, before we do this procedure, I have one important question: Are you, like, sure you have an erection? It doesn't get any bigger that that, ever?" I had a dude once who got recurrent angioedema of only his penis. Looked like a loving beer can. His wife thought it was hysterical ... him not so much.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Merry Christmas to me! Huh, I didn't know rear-only brakes were a thing. I obviously knew you could throw yourself over the handlebars if you hit only the front brakes hard, but I always figured you still wanted both because of weight transfer limiting rear braking. How much does a bike like that weigh?

cakesmith handyman posted:My kid's been sick repeatedly this morning, can't keep tablets down. We're on full packed-and-ready standby to take him to hospital again, yay. Good luck, man. In a pinch a fair number of oral meds can jut be absorbed through the mouth if you let them dissolve (though it tastes awful). It's the only way I got through work last week, my antiemetics weren't absorbing when I swallowed them. I know dexamethasone does -- I give people the IV dose orally all the time -- but I don't know about maintenance steroids for adrenal insufficiency.

cakesmith handyman posted:His hydrocortisone are dissolve against the cheek type but he can't even keep water down so we're at the CAU now. Alright, keep us posted. At least he's getting his hydrocortisone, though who knows what kind of dose adjustment you need while ill. Some IV ondansetron and saline will probably perk him right the hell up. A lot of kids do great with just oral meds, but I'm guessing they're going to have to check labs, etc., and probably will just place a line.
