It’s much, much quicker, simpler, and easier to reach into the ear canal and gently scrape out the wax. The few times I used any fluid, it was a tiresome affair, and it never really got out all of the wax that could start to build. You would have to do it every other day to prevent real buildup, and that would be a gigantic pain.
Plot twist: This guy’s a republican and it wasn’t him taking the test.
Q-tips suck at cleaning ear canals. All they do is push the damn ear wax further up inside, worsening my already bad tendency to get impacted wax in the first place. I can only imagine that people who use q-tips to clean have these cavernous canals that make family guy’s ear-sex joke actually possible.
It’s why I use those meant-for-glasses tiny screwdrivers.
True, but I was thinking the sign might be from as far back as the microwave one.
Bunker gear is the typical ‘fire-proof’ gear you see firefighters in when they might go into a burning building. Big, bulky, heavy, and often made of asbestos.
Even funner fact: anyone remember the USS Liberty? A common thought is Israel did that to pull us into their war then. Nowadays you would have a presidential candidate boldly declaring that [insert ‘vile’ country of choice] killed our troops and we must rush to war against them. I bet there are israeli leaders just salivating at the idea of repeating the scenario.
I was being facetious, and using odd phrasing to emphasize it. Yes, the typical terminology would be ‘quite dead.’
Maybe I’m just grumpy, but by the time the potatoes are finger-licking good, you’ll be quite unalive. Even if the potatoes were boiling first before you went in, you’re still going to have an impossible time not screaming and flailing as you suffer third degree burns in fractions of a second.
Ah, shit, what’s that initialism/mnemonic again?
I am so glad that once we’re out of school, no one in their right mind would ever not have a guide nearby with all the information you could ever want for your job.
Ah, a fellow enjoyer of greek mythology!
Wasn’t it another cartoon fandom that literally called porn of their show (or the actual sexual organs) “plot” because of this?
Aye that’s part of what I was saying. Now, the argument could be made that if the octopus is smart enough to have the goal of moving through the tract, they could muscle open the sphincter. I haven’t ever tested an octopus against a sphincter. The controlled variable would have to be octopus size…
Off hand, I think the sphincter would win out until the octopus is too big to fit through without rupturing other areas.
I mean, some octopodes are pretty small. The real issue is them moving through the GI tract. They might be flexible enough, but propelling themselves forward consistently would be the real feat.
You forgot the ‘lots’ portion. It was not a small amount of liquid.
doctor or nurse is swearing at me by now
The people who interact with patients think you’re great. Give people some info and make it easy to understand. It’s the Ph.D. fella who did his thesis on cellular signaling focusing on nociceptor differences in distal/medial loci.

Different places have different ways of doing things. One of the recent online courses I saw was step by step, and each step opened as soon as you finished the first.
Once everything is online - the assignments, the test, the proctors watching you take the test, the grading for the test being automatic - it’s no longer as important for those places to schedule everything exactly. It’s also incredibly different in the experience, because the chance of an actual professor teaching is incredibly slim. They have you just reading the textbook and being referred to youtube videos.
Don’t worry, I will also put your dead body in a trash bin
I’ve seen it done in rural areas. Though it was less a trash bin, and more a trash pile in the back yard.
They are warships, so perhaps strafe through.
Lol, if that’s good enough for you, then let the blue skies shine, baby!
The peroxide didn’t work for me once the wax became impacted. Maybe if I had repeated it several times in the course of a day, but it was easier to just repeat the trip to the doctor to have them get it out. Losing your hearing absolutely sucks, and I didn’t want to delay getting it back.
