    Sorry dude, got banned myself for “inciting violence”. What exactly did I do, you ask? I posted the four boxes of liberty and asked which one we were on. Pissed off some MAGAt who reported me, got me a one week ban, then came back and reported even older comments of the same. Despite me stopping once I was asked, the power hungry Reddit admins banned my main as well as a couple of alts they’d decided were tied to it (despite no bad behavior on any). Fuck Reddit.

    It used to work for me pretty well but if you do use it, make sure to alternate with another anti-cavity toothpaste. I had crazy tartar build up until I switched away from it as recommended by my dentist. Using Crest Sensitivity Relief now and have had much better check ups at the dentist.

    If your into realistic FPS games then you want to go with bodycam, 6 days or if you want a solid mix between realistic and not so realistic then Insurgency Sandstorm is good. But if you want good lore then start with doom and work your way up the series.

    If you want to learn how to drive safely, automatic. If you want to have fun while driving, manual. A manual transmission requires more of your attention. It connects you to the car and the road. It gives you more control over your gas mileage and torque. Forget about texting and driving. My first few cars were automatic. I bought a car with manual transmission when I was about 20 years old. It took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to drive it and an hour to become proficient. If I were a father, I would mandate my kid to drive automatic. People on the road are dangerous and there's far too many distractions. Learn how to drive first. That means learning how to deal with your environment and making quick decisions.

    Welding would not be an effective way to close your asshole. Welding involves turning the existing materials to be affixed into a liquid by melting it, then resolidifying it such that both materials are bonded. If you would try to weld your asshole, you are going to end up burning it instead. Should charred bits of your asshole become molten and bond, it is likely that those charred bits won't have a healthy bond to your unburnt skin, so the weld will fail quickly.

    Noice (Ambient sound app, on fdroid) has a bunch which are nice. I was surprised how pleasing the jet-hum and occasional fasten-seatbelt-tone is.

    Well a BSN won't do bedside care unless they want to. They can, but part of the point of getting the degree is handling different aspects of nursing than just bedside care in a facility setting. And, yeah, the "higher" you are in the chain of command, the less physical work is involved. Not that it disappears entirely, but even in a hospital, a PA here in the US is going to be able to call in nurses and nurse's assistants to do the demanding physical work unless it's an emergency where time is too big a factor, and even then they'd only get started. Same with dementia patients too. You might have to provide care for them if you're in a facility that treats dementia, but you wouldn't do so alone. I'm honestly amazed you don't have the equivalent of a nurse's assistant to help with moving patients though. That's what I did as my primary job, and we were the ones that an RN would call when a patient needed moving around, if they didn't want to or couldn't do it. I'd be responsible for anything from fifteen to thirty patients in nursing homes, so I know exactly what you mean about the ratio killing your body. The job is part of why I'm disabled now, it is very much a young person's job, doing the grunt work of patient care.
