Shitty childhood. On the upside I learned a lot of useful skills, namely how to tell when someone's getting ready to hit someone. Comes in handy in my line of work. There's been plenty of times where the patient starts screaming and my coworkers are like "oh no what do we do!?" And I'm like "wait 30 more minutes for the haldol I gave them 30 minutes ago to hit. They can holler until then if they need to." Sometimes I just look at the way someone's pacing and how hard and fast their steps are and my brain just goes "hell naw" and usually if I catch it then the person still has enough sense to take a pill for it.

    My husband messaged me on OKC with something along the lines of,"hey this is probably just gonna sound crazy but were we stuck in the psych hospital together about a year ago?"

    Yes. Yes we were. And I was a little bummed I hadn't gotten his number. That was five years ago and we just celebrated our first wedding anniversary. Fucker is still batshit crazy, but so am I.

    Apple cider vinegar does the same (acid closes the cuticle and will seal in any oil you apply first, then make the hair look smoother / shiner) but the rinsed-out scent is much less offensive and even works well with some of the earthier perfumes like patchouli.

    100% human-made art by Andrea Guzzetta in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world
    [–] 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    By that logic most media consumption is unethical. Almost anything out of a major studio is made with the abuse of, underpayment of, and often even outright theft from small artists. I think a much better solution than not using them is to take all the money they made from it and redistribute it as universal basic income, then make the models 100% free to use. Cat's outta the bag, at this point I just wanna see the little guy get paid.

    1mil but I'd probably still work. I'd wanna be a fulltime BERRT nurse (Behavioral Emergency Rapid Response Team) and just wander around the hospital at night calming patients down. I've done a little BERRT work but most hospitals won't pay a living wage for someone to do that full time. It's usually just lumped on the psych unit charge so they can only respond when they're not busy which defeats the point of an emergency response protocol. Doing that full time and just wandering around the hospital giving fake cigarettes to people with Alzheimer's and talking people withdrawing into sticking it out through their detox protocol would literally be my dream come true LOL.

    What're my options for selectively redirecting some "open in browser" links to chrome? (sh.itjust.works)
     

    I love cromite so much but there's some very specific sites that don't work right in cromite like my offsite work login even just to look at my schedule and the bigger thing is login redirects to authorize apps like even fedi stuff like tusky for mastodon or loops. For some reason cromite can't redirect back to the app to finish authorizing even if I allow literally all permissions for the site. My current workaround is to temporarily set chrome as my default browser but then I forget to fix it after and open a site in it and ew. Is there a better workaround I'm missing?

    Has anybody else kinda pieced together the story of the last person who had their new phone number? (sh.itjust.works)
     

    I'm relatively certain I know his name. He's either a Senior or a Junior. Various people have called asking for one or the other including, possibly, a debt collector.

    One of the two died, probably about two years ago. There were like two or three people right at the beginning who were just trying to find the guy but at the time I thought like maybe he changed his number for a reason? Then very early on, someone called saying they'd heard he had died and was hoping he was still alive and would pick up, because they'd lost touch. I'm also pretty sure he was a churchgoing Christian. I think a lady from his church was one of the people trying to reach out.

    That's most of what I have, but also I've never met him or spoken to him. None of it came from anywhere official. It's just the stuff people say when they think when they've gotten the number wrong except they're all asking for the same person.

    What's a good way to solicit survey answers as map pins? (sh.itjust.works)
     

    cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/68073118

    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?

    What internet culture objects / symbols could represent the tarot suits? (sh.itjust.works)
     

    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

    What's a relatively mundane task you've seen someone perform with professional 10k hr smoothness and precision? (sh.itjust.works)
     

    cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/67815568

    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?
