Still, I guess I gotta give them credit for being true believers in their wings standing on their own merit
Every job I've ever held seems to have the same recurring character: a middle-aged+ balding obese man who regularly makes creepy/sexist/racist comments, and when told off, dramatically throws their arms up and laments about not being able to make jokes anymore.
Anyway, one of the talking points this character routinely brings up is that they'll go to Hooters, but actually just for the Wings - they're really that good!
...no, David, no one's buying your bullshit. You go there because you like tits, and apparently not the ones hanging off the poor woman you've Stockholm syndromed into becoming and remaining your wife.
But apparently the whole "I go there for the wings!" lie is so common that even Hooters execs started to believe it.
...and seriously, why is David following me?? New job, there's fucking David, sometimes with a mustache, sometimes with glasses, or a funny hat or something... but he's always there.
I just noticed after typing this that you use your keyboard on the couch?
Yeah it's kind of a weird set up... Tower is on the floor to my left, keyboard in my lap (or ontop of the tower when not in use), to my right there's a center console thing with cup holders and a little storage area for remotes and such: I rigged up a mousepad on that, and the cord feeds in through that storage area then between the cushions and around the back of the couch into the tower. Monitor sits on a coffee table in front of me. Right of the center console is my wife's comfy spot, and straight across from that is a wall mounted TV.
I don't give a rat's ass about tv shows, and she doesn't give a rat's ass about videogames, but this setup allows us to be plopped down next to each other but doing our own thing on screen.
And the couch is the most comfortable computer chair ever!!
Ask your doctor if Porkkake is right for you!
puts hand in fire
Ow! The fire that we were warned incessantly to be excruciatingly hot, burned our other hand once already, then incessantly warned would burn us again if we did the same thing, just burned is again when we did the same thing! 😢
There doesn't seem to be much consistency - even the same patient could find it really painful one operation and not at all the next.
Propofol is weird stuff.
That kind of illustrates the struggle though: a bunch of hyper-specific results not suitable for general questions, or communities that have only seen a handful of posts, ever.
Per other posters though, that last bit doesn't sounds like it'll pose the issue I feared.
Cataract surgeries you're typically awake for. Or rather, sleep isn't drug induced: you'll still be laying down in a quiet, dark room, so people sometimes fall asleep naturally (and then wake up naturally, understandably freaked out) but they generally won't give general anesthesia unless you really can't tolerate it.
Most likely your describing propofol. It's stored at room temperature, but causes a sensation that's comparable to Icy Hot, but how it hits an individual patient varies from person to person. In the moment it can feel scalding hot, blistering cold or anything in between, including nothing at all.
The clarity of your memory of that part tells me you might be a touch tolerant to it - I'd run that by your anesthesiologist if you ever need another surgery.
Definitely ask them for which drugs they used, and if you need anesthesia again later, give that list and your symptoms to your anesthesiologist.
The mask is just oxygen - they want your blood as saturated with O2 as it can be. The stuff that knocks you out comes in from the IV, and it knocks you out so completely that you literally don't even breathe on your own. So, once that stuff kicks in it's gogogo time for the anesthesiologist, cuz you're basically holding your breath until they get you intubated, which allows the ventilator to take over.
*There are probably exceptions to that, but 99% of surgeries requiring general anesthesia will go like that.
I'm on the fence between the K2 HE base model and the Gamakay TK75HE V2, which came up in a related video when looking for reviews.
They look pretty similar, but the 'phoenix' switches used in the Gamakay seem some of the most silent on the market. The Nebula switches in the K2 don't seem bad though - kind of just a 'thud' when they bottom out - still much quieter than mechanicals are known for.
Any insight on Gamakay?
