The decline of the Third Space is an interesting social phenomenon.
The more comments I read the more apt this is. Without places to just be, with no expectation or obligation to be a consumer, somewhere to be around people with or without socializing. Makes you feel like part of your community, part of something that’s bigger than you, to be seen, to be acknowledged.
Looks a lot like our border collie too-dark with light legs and chest, floppy ears and especially the crazy eyes.
Where there is no will, there is no way.
If it’s a Costco monthly trip, no. On your carbon road bike, no. Full suspension downhill bike, no. Holding a 2liter bottle of Shasta Cola and three rolls of TP? Rethink some things.
If you know it’s going to be a utility bike, yea. Easily done. If it’s a zippy get about thing, consider a little trailer for the hauling trips- buy used, even the old ones roll fine.
I’ve been going for about a year, with two panniers and a front rack, for weekly groceries for a family of 3. Milk, eggs, toilet paper, no problem. Back when Mission Workshop just split off from Timbuk2 I got their expand-o Marry Poppins backpack (the rambler)which is awesome- though I wouldn’t buy it at the current price (eye watering)…it does fit A LOT, like 12kg bags of dog food and still has room. It can carry the weirdest things.
The worst part is getting the panniers up the flight of stairs to our apartment…which would be the same struggle regardless of transportation.
I don’t disagree. I’ve worked on an ambulance, I’ve seen what the results of improper protection does to a person. But also how it affects everyone else involved- from the people scraping you off the street to the family that has to take care of you. The unseen injuries of head trauma. At the end of the day, it’s a personal choice- just think about the possible consequences to yourself and those around you.
Think of it this way- don’t wear a helmet because you ride a bike, wear a helmet because everyone else is in a car… they don’t look for you, they don’t care about you. Only you can care about you. It’s car culture pushing the responsibility of safety onto the cyclists to avoid culpability.
Two fairly interesting videos arguing each point and may help yall convince others to wear a helmet better than calling them stupid.

Be safe, anything can happen. Wear a helmet, even for the ‘safe’ rides so it becomes second nature.
Rebuttals to a few of the cons:
Hey, some places it’s the county Sheriff that’s the coroner… which is also bad.
Sometimes people die in the county jail… and almost every time it’s not needed to perform an autopsy- it’s just natural causes…
The coroner needs to be an impartial medical professional.
Also for appliances, I like to try to go to shops that also service and repair them and ask, which brand/model they see or work on the least.
Houses built in the 40’s, earthquake country, listed for over a million dollars and “no contingencies”. Sounds like the bargain of the century!

How can I forget about Lord Latifi?
Ugh… that explains me, so I’m hoping that my kid stays an immature, frustrating, loud, undefeated and happy child for a long time yet.
Depends on the town. I grew up in and went to college in a small town - pop. 16,000 ish. It was the reverse, students came for mostly 3 reasons; it was as far from home and still pay in state tuition, it was (is?) a quirky place where no one really cared how high you flew your freak flag, or to for the pot.
The college brought in diversity and employment, but wasn’t really the identity of the place.
In short: Make it more difficult and time consuming to take than the bike next to it.
Lady Dwarf. If there is an option for it, always lady dwarf.
Started with world of Warcraft, I just wanted the least played character type, so Cindie the lady dwarf warrior was born. She lives on in any game where it’s an option.
It may have been user error, for me. I’m pretty sure CDs I had bought and ripped to ITunes changed to ‘this song is not on your device’ cloud copies when Apple Music happened- then they disappeared entirely, even though they were files I added to OG iTunes almost 20 years ago.
Sadly, my iPod’s hard drive failed a while ago. I enjoyed the free streaming stuff for the few and fewer times I had music on. I’ll be upgrading the iPod and heading out to sea… again.
William Shatner had an interview show where he and a guest sat in something similar.

The big bosses aren’t medical staff, they’re calling is not patient care, it’s profit.
What op is experiencing is delusion in the system and burnout.
OP is right. Document, cya, and move on.
All these downvotes and replies seem to be from people who want to think a hospital is altruistic place of healing. Unfortunately it’s an end stage capitalism hellscape that chews up and spits out most people who give a damn.
This reply seems like management/ hr reply… just as salty as op.
It’s so perfectly fine to respect someone’s autonomy there is a form they can sign- refusal of care. Explain the situation, sign form or take meds. Or, here’s another form- and there is the door. Forcing anything on a competent adult is battery I believe, no matter how beneficial.
Like OP said, chart and move on.
People are weird and react weird to some people. Ask another nurse to try, or ask to swap patients.
Also, sometimes nurses do know better. They see the patient as a whole, and a lot more than the doctor.
Also x2, managers are there mostly in a non medical (and non union) capacity, but to make sure the hospital runs as profitably as possible.
I’m partial the term ‘wonder kill’ for when one does look it up.
As my poor old grandad would say :
“I wish that I knew what I know now, When I was younger. I wish that I knew what I know now, When I was stronger”
I laughed at all his words, I thought he was a bitter old man.
He may have been speaking of something else, though, it still applies here I think.
No one is pointing out that these “convection currents” created are not taking any bacteria away.
That is only steam from the water added, or water left in the meat- it doesn’t take anything away with it… otherwise you’d have an empty pan and meat vapor all over your kitchen.
