re: dollar weed infestation

Posted by armsdealer on 4/29/25 at 12:50 pm
I personally love the dollar weed in my back yard, it is fitting, it backs up to the water, it stays green, its a cool shape, I don't see the hate. I guess the only hate is it isn't the plant you chose to cover your ground.

re: How much do you use chat gpt?

ALL the time.

For research it is amazing.

For finding used items for sale, bonkers.

Finding old manuals, if it is out there it will find it.

I am sure MD students are using it, hell maybe even doctors, I put some case studies through it and it got about 90% of them right. I was helping a professor write rationales... the few it got wrong I gave it prompts and it got on the right track quickly.

Now, what pisses me off is having to read online masters students use AI to write their damn message board posts. In a place meant for discussion and to bring in some personal interaction it is 75% AI written posts, 20% shitty posts poorly written by the student and 5% actual posts worth reading and responding to.

Oh, it might not necessarily be chat gpt, try a bunch of them.

re: Best toilet to purchase

I want one of those pressurized toilets you see in the hospital. Those things flush anything. Current house has the cheapest toilets the builder could find and they are horrible. Combined with the low water pressure at peak times it can be a really shitty situation.

re: Anyone financed a new car lately?

I did one at 0.9, 0 for 48 was on the table but its a toy and I wanted a lower payment just in case. I don't pay extra on it, but I put aside extra for it if that makes sense. I have an account just for our cars and I put 1.5X the car payments in them each month and it auto drafts the payments.

"people operations"


When I was an "Operations Manager" I was basically doing "People Operations". I was over pretty much everything and managed the managers that ran each area. The majority of my day was fixing stupid people issues the managers fricked up.
Louisiana would be much better off if we didn't share oil revenue the way it is shared and it was more like landlocked states do oil revenue. Louisiana gets less than the other states and has a frickING cap. It's bullshite.

Keep the resources in the state and maybe it would be less shitty.
Never had an employer ask for a degree. My licenses, my certifications, but not my degree. Now the people that do my licenses and certifications asked for my degree but never directly from me, they get it from the university.

re: Advice on truck purchase

Posted by armsdealer on 4/17/25 at 6:16 pm
The only one left I would buy new is the 5.0 F150.

If/when Ram brings back the Hemi that would be the other viable option.

I'm not going to sugar coat it, ALL the trucks are having issues, but those two are having the least, major issues. The motors are solid, if not somewhat noisy with the 5.0. They are victims of the EPA. Sadly.

re: How much is a good pillow ?

We have shredded latex pillows. LAST FOREVER. I changed the covers on our two oldest ones we moved to the spare bed room when I got some new ones. Can't tell them apart.
He won't find much nice under $2k, and well, nobody is going to rent him a $2k place with out $6k income a month.

re: Kidney Transplants, Anyone?

Posted by armsdealer on 4/16/25 at 6:37 pm
It sucks for the donor, great for the person getting the kidney.

They never seem to tell the donor all the horrible downsides of having a kidney removed.

re: Colonoscopies. Yes or no?

The poop in a box test is just as effective... but if you pop something suspicious there they will recommend a scope up the poop shoot.

Polyps are NORMAL. Polyps do NOT indicate cancer.

I asked several pathologist about this same issue, the most common answer from them was "I am on the fence about it, but I haven't gotten one for myself".

I am frequently talking to pathologist about MD's ordering tests that are not needed and getting help to modify MD's ordering behavior. It is extremely rare the pathologist tells me a test in question made sense, most of the time I get "That was stupid" or "They ordered what?"

To be fair we have two teaching hospitals in the system with a TON of residents, but residents are MD's, and we don't get paid for unnecessary tests.

EMS is a very low paid "profession"

Outside of Doctors and Administration the health care field pay sucks.

What a way to make all of the oxygen leave the room.

Franchise is dead if this happens.

At least Zion is fun to watch when he is healthy, it was worth going to a game just to see him play... but you want to keep Willie, hire Dumars and dump Zion and TANK his perceived value doing it, frick this franchise.
Nah, they are responsible, that sign is for gullible people.

If you notice most don't have a plate and are not even licensed in any way, they don't care about the law or care enough to sweep the rocks that are guaranteed to fall off their truck. Good luck getting them to pay even though they are 100000% liable
