Size 12 white 4" platform shoes with LED lights that are comfortable to walk in that don't cost $400 shouldn't be too much to ask, right? I want to be a ridiculous 6'8" lit-up White Wednesday aberration at #BurningMan. Shouldn't that be easy to do?

TimeGuessr TimeGuessr - the game that tests both your geography and history knowledge. Guess where and when historic photos were taken.

Very happy with location guesses. One was 0.5 m off! Time estimates could have been better. All those 1960s-1970s cars look the same to me.

Does it help with finishing long-delayed projects? 'Cause I have a lot of projects and access to a LOT of saline.

Administrative #Nursing Supervisor calls, "Do you really need to be staffed up?"

I'm doin' the best I can with the minimal information I have. I'd rather staff up and not need it than be understaffed have people be swamped and exhausted.

2 kidney transplants in progress, one fresh kidney, 3-4 pre-ops coming, 2 coming back for rejection, 2 in E.D. who need beds (one urgently), 3-6 discharges. Staff up? Hold beds? Who is coming when, staff and patients? Charge #nursing is hard. I'm beat. Everyone is alive and well. I want to crash.

Age verification? If I did all my physical therapy exercises each day, I wouldn't have time for much else.

I can see that. To be fair, the bike is a little small for him, so that makes the proportions funny. It would be really cool to race a penny earthing, though.

For not having done much training, it was fun to participate in a small sprint #triathlon again. Swim was good. Bike was good. Run was terrible... but I still beat my kid, though I imagine I won't be doing that for many more years.

All other things being equal, a song in 3 > a song in 4. Soulflower is showing that to be true. Watersong was great. 10 #SaintPaul points to @grandoakopry.bsky.social, too. There is probably no better place in town to Bethany under your tree right now.

Three-way playoff! Then, I want them all to keep trading wins and losses so nobody gets ahead of the others, and they just have to keep wrestling forever. That could happen, right? Right?

Well, I got my Takayasu vs. Tamawashi match on day 13. Turned out not to be much of a match either in consequence nor in excitement, but I was happy to see it. #sumo

Attending: Someone needs to stay with the patient continuously.
Resident's hand shoots up in the air.

Me: HAHAHAHAHA!
Wife: This is why I don't watch this show with you.
Me: Give the guy a bunch of Lasix and check on him in the morning.
Wife ignores me. I leave

Resident stays in the room.

Attending: What should we do?
Resident: something something ACE inhibitors something something

ok

Resident: Get strict I/Os.

Ok. Good luck. We'll try. If there are fewer than three cups on the patient's bedside table, this is bullshit.

Scene: me crashed on bed after a long #nursing stretch at the hospital. Wife watching #Grey'sAnatomy with headphones (and subtitles) next to me.

A doc and pile of residents (?) assessing a pt.

Attending (?): His lungs sound junky
Pt: Are you calling me a junky?

Ok, that's not inaccurate...

So, I will now be rooting for a Takayasu vs. Tamawashi, in an old man yusho play-off with Tamawashi winning the whole kit and kaboodle.
