    I would assume if they were the ONLY hospital in Lubbock it would be different but it seems like there are plenty of other hospitals, albeit not level one trauma centers. I wonder if the area has "diversion" protocols already. The vast majority of patients transported by ambulances don't need level one trauma centers so its probably more nothingburger than the article is making it out to be

    Did you know the patient was having a stroke?

    Why do you think you froze?

    Watching youtube isn't gonna help, what you need to do is get out of your head and probably silence the internal dialogue when you are on calls so you can focus on doing the job.

    I couldn't shower with my eyes open for weeks because of Fire in the Sky, I was afraid I was gonna see an outline of the aliens behind the shower curtain.

    I feel like getting fed up with an Ender 3 is a rite of passage among this community that I am more than glad to skip :P

    I looked it up and I swear there's already a beefy connector there, but I might have missed it. I'm not home now but I'll check again. Thanks for the tip!

  • After researching I decided to buy a new SV06, set up easy and printed a benchy without incident. I was surprised at how good the build quality was. Currently working on printing brackets for the crisper drawer of my refrigerator

    It was 4 years between the original SE and the 12 mini, they released the 13 mini right away but I think that might have been because battery issues with the 12. Maybe the ghost of Steve Jobs begins to haunt Cupertino after a few years of Apple not releasing a smaller phone

    I assume they will roll another one out in a few years, I think everyone who buys a small phone hangs on to it for a long time. Before I bought a 13 mini my previous phone was the original SE (also small) so obviously I'm not upgrading every year.

    This gets dangerous once you make semi decent money though. Like why would I take public transit that takes an hour to get there for $2.50, when I could just take a cab that costs $25 and only takes 30min to get there.

    Like, sure…if making $50+/h one can justify it. But one could also instead save $23.50 for the piggy bank by taking the bus. And the 30min extra is not time one would have been at work getting paid anyway (unless your taking the bus/taxi to work I guess and actually gain 30min of pay).

    That's when you start calculating your hourly wage once all your livings costs have been deducted. Once you amortize your housing costs, car, food, retirement, student loans, and whatever other bad decisions that you're still paying for every month and figure out your hourly wage AFTER all that it's a lot easier to keep a level head.

    Doing this when you make $12/hr is much too depressing though.

    Hah, really? I thought people ate their cars up.

    I never met a Scion owner who wasn't happy.

    And they wouldn't have been bought by Toyota if it wasn't a good investment.

    Don’t even get me started on the 4 contact points for balance/ leveling.

    One feature I definitely want is auto-leveling. I hope it softens the learning curve at least a little bit.

  • I'm shopping for my first printer, I don't have any experience with 3d printing but I'm vaguely familiar with the whole process and I understand there will be a learning curve and I'm looking forward to that part. I'm leaning towards the Creality S1 Pro because I remember the huge hub-bub about the Ender 3 when it first came out and it seems like everyone and their brother suggests it as a good first printer but then when I read reviews it seems kinda janky and I'm an adult with a job so I don't mind fussing a little but I don't want to fuss a lot. I picked the S1 Pro because I think it has an auto-leveling print surface and the name recognition from the previously mentioned Ender 3, but when I try to research other printers I'm completely overwhelmed by the options.

    I've been thinking about interesting observations about this job, and something I've noticed is that we all seem to have problems with boundary setting, which seems to often contribute to a lot of the problems we see. I was just thinking about this.
