I am working on improving my skills for cooking basic meals at home. Is there one bit of advice that has helped you most with your cooking?
All the comparison articles consider both fall detection and water resistance to be separate boxes that need ticking.
Automatic fall detection: tick
Water resistance: tick
It is rare for the articles to talk about whether both features work at the same time inside the shower.
Fall detection sensitivity inside the shower is a trade off because regular movements in the shower will activate false alarms.
Many manufactures reduce sensitivity when it comes to such situations, but this detail is rarely mentioned either in the specifications or in the marketing.
For people who use a fall detection device regularly inside the shower, does it detect falls or not at all?
Waterproofing is one of those technical specifications that are casually thrown out in the context of bags. Usually, waterproofing only indicates being able to withstand splashes and would survive light drizzle but not heavy rains
What makes the noirvere bag special in this case is that waterproofing is treated seriously as per their recipe. The material used is inherently water resistant due to the very composition of it, not the coat that may peel off, as opposed to conventional approaches. User reviews consistently confirm how coffee stains and rainwater get wiped away easily
Next semester I will be starting my clinicals and was told that I would need BLS certification for my first day by my program coordinator. However, she did not really specify anything regarding what I needed. I have found all types of training programs out there ranging anywhere from $15 card that I could print out to an in-classroom class. But, I do not know if any of these would be accepted.
I am based in Bay area and I will be going to several kaiser clinics and the county hospital for my clinical rotations. I would not like to present myself there without the right certification and get booted out on my first day.
Anyone knows whether California hospitals are very strict about it or if they accept others like the American Red Cross also?
The soccer league that I am part of remind me of the fact that all coaches should have an updated CPR and first aid before the season starts, totally forgetting about it.
Since this is the first time that I am required to do it for my league, I have absolutely no idea where to go. Is there something near Morgan Hill or do I have to take a drive up to San Jose where I had my last one
Asking because there is a time line guarantee that comes with each fibro protocol and I no longer trust any of them.
ME for 9 years, fibro has added 5 years in the two conditions that overlap so often that I am no longer attempting to differentiate symptoms from either condition. The fatigue is loud, the pain constant, the stiffness was the symptom that I forgot was a problem until I paid attention.
Did something 3 months ago that is new and will not tell you what it is since the time line is the whole issue. The time line was 4-6 weeks for changes to be noticeable in your daily log.
First month nothing, week 5 and I sit up in the morning without being stiff in my upper back. 3 good days at week 6 and the hip stif skipped the normal late afternoon routine. In week 8 the constant restriction that I had became accustomed to thinking of as me had relaxed enough to notice its absence rather than its presence. The fatigue did not budge. One of 3 big rocks moved.
Response to the 8 to 12 week question in my case: Real curve is much closer to 4 to 6 weeks before there is anything at all and gradual ascent through 8 to 12 weeks if it is to continue working. Conservative brands that state 8 to 12 weeks are conservative brands that lie about 2 weeks.
For people that have been on this longer than I have, has the 4 to 12 week curve worked for you or do you have a diff curve?
I’m always interested in learning from other people’s experiences. What’s one piece of advice that has genuinely helped you in life?
A lot of people are taught that working a standard 9-to-5 job for 40 years is the safest route to retirement. But with massive corporate layoffs and market volatility, relying entirely on a single employer feels like a huge risk where you have zero control. At least when you manage your own business or portfolio, your risk management is completely in your own hands. How do you view job security versus self-reliance in today's economy?
