Honestly this is my take as a gnostic towards the Zionist Christians (like my parents). You mean you're really gonna kick off the Apocalypse and drag Jesus down here like a toddler demanding attention from daddy? Like they've told me what's going on in the middle east is just part of Jesus coming back. Even if we genuinely assume all of this is 100% true when interpreted 100% literally how in the actual fuck do you think Jesus is gonna be happy to have to be dragged down to save us TWICE.

    No this picture predates generative ai by at least a few years and iirc was a legit sculpture / art installation. Honestly I'm seeing the neverslop image used in such a reactionary way like this was some actual legit art and this is sooo disrespectful to that.

    So. Fun educational fact about sleep hygiene!

    You're supposed to wake up a tiny bit every 2 hours every night (4x if you're getting 8hrs!). There's various States of consciousness that are SUPPOSED to occur over a 2hr sleep cycle every time you sleep and one of them is a slightly lucid state where a healthy body shifts position to avoid pressure ulcers!

    So if you find yourself waking up at night just use the minimum an amount of consciousness you can to think about which position you're in and pick one of the other flat positions in this picture to put yourself in. Then will yourself back to sleep as well as you can.

    Go forth and do yourself some sleepmaxxing!

    Idk one them fuckers put a good hole in my finger when I was a kid who hadn't been taught proper boundaries yet. Taught me some fundamental boundary concepts right there on the spot lemme tell ya. "Do shit get bit" is actually a pretty solid developmental milestone IMO.

    A rare success story with a $25 online doctor was having them confirm my knee pain was from squatting wrong at work and how to correct my form and which exercises to do while idling. It helps that I had the background to google the muscle anatomy of the knee, pinpoint which muscle / ligament felt wrong, then google what usually causes that, see frequent squatting on the list, and immediately correlate that to the experience of being a nurse on a unit where none of the beds are motorized (on a proper medical unit the beds just raise the whole patient to working height. I have to get my whole self down to that level if a patient requires more intensive care, which is why we're not supposed to get patients that need ADL assistance but I digress).

    I really wanna know how dogs decide where to piss or shit. Like there seems to be some kind of contemplation / decision making process and I'm just fascinated by the concept of nonhuman sensory perception.

    I would like a way to collect survey results that would allow the residents of my apartment building to select where in the surrounding blocks their dog chose to relieve themselves that day.

    Is there any established software or service that has this feature?

    Right like bring up an accommodation when it's something you do not have that you need. Bringing up something you were already doing successfully is just doing too much. Save your goodwill points for stuff you need help from the manager to gain access to.

    I’m designing a meme tarot deck: majors are memes, courts are wojaks, and pentacles are (probably) bitcoin. What other internet culture objects / symbols could stand in for the other suits?

    • Wands: (staves / clubs) Fire; energy, ambition, creation
    • Cups: (chalices / hearts) Water; emotion, connection, intuition
    • Swords: (knives / spades) Air; thought, conflict, communication

    Storytime: a patient came into my unit with a controlled medication (I don’t remember what maybe oxy? Ativan?). Per policy, I was waiting for the pharmacy tech to come up, verify my count, and take it down to their safe. It might take a minute, so I got my count done and left the medication in its destined serial-numbered bag, visible on camera on the counter in the med room.

    When I count pills, I fold a clean sheet of printer paper into a tray, with the sides folded up into lips. The four corners make little diagonal ears. I sort the pills into piles of five with a clean spoon to make them easier to count, then use one of those diagonal ears to funnel them back into the bottle. I got somewhere in the 50–100 range.

    The pharmacy tech comes up. She has a specialized tray (they usually look something like this) with a cylindrical, prescription-bottle-sized funnel that snaps down over one side, and some other carefully designed features to facilitate this exact task. The equipment itself was interesting but not the really cool bit.

    She pours the bottle out onto this specialized tray, but she doesn’t need to group the pills. She literally just eyeballs the 50–100 random splatter of pills that falls out onto her flat tray and immediately calls out my exact, carefully tallied count (which I had not yet told her).

    She then, in one fluid motion, tips the tray just enough to slide them all down into the funnel side, slaps the funnel closed over them, and tips whole tray up and down so the contents of the funnel fall down into the bottle. We complete the sign-off and seal the bottle in its security envelope.

    I’m frequently reminded that nurses are kind of the Swiss Army knives of the healthcare system. I can do 90% of the ancillary staff’s jobs in a pinch, but it’s WILD to watch the fluidity with which each of those tasks is done by someone who does that one specific task all day long.

    What’s a super-specialized skill or talent you’ve seen that completely impressed you?

    You know what animal kills the most humans (other than other humans)?

    Mosquitos by way of malaria.

    You know what animals kill mosquitos?

    Bats, lizards, frogs, toads, and spiders.

    Roaches, fleas, bedbugs, termites, and ants are other common household infestations that those spiders in your walls would love to (help) keep under control for you (when it comes to ticks we gotta talk about chickens but that's a whole different post).

    Understanding the material world you've been subjected to means understanding which organisms in this simulation are actually on your side.

    This has been a public service announcement.
