Everyone here saying that there would be someone else to stitch you up, I think what OP meant was more of a “everyone in the room vanishes and you’re left alone” type of question.
Assuming all the power and filtration systems stay on, you’d actually be in a pretty sterile environment. If you did your best and put a lot of clean bandages on it, I feel like you have a good chance of avoiding infection.
I don’t know why they are always separate things on these tho. They are literally the same fries.
Those Taco Bell fries are also pretty damn good. I didn’t expect much (because it’s Taco Bell) but God damn! They’re like the best potatoes you can get at TB.
Didn’t like the Popeye’s sweet potato fries at all. I love sweet potato, but… That’s not the flavor I seek with french fries. Too sweet for something that my brain associates with salty only.
Every other fry is just kinda… There. They don’t suck, they’re just not amazing.
I don’t mean to be a Debbie downer but even I have trouble enjoying Lemmy because of some of it’s problems/quirks. I don’t think it’ll be anywhere near as popular as alternatives with those problems present. I hate it but that’s how I feel. I hope it gets better
Pages not loading or error’ing out, general usability stuff, like pictures in the feed snapping back to small/icon size causing the feed to jump around, posts opening in the same window and going back takes me all the way to the top/start of my feed, the confusion around interoperability between instances (can I just log in with my account on another instance? Do i need a new account?), etc.
I’m on mobile, so maybe that’s a large part of my complaint, but when ya come from Reddit, it’s hard to not see things Reddit does well that you miss.
It’s also very likely some of this is simply user error, I am not an expert, but I feel like if it’s confusing or not intuitive for me, then it’s probably room for improvement.
Edit: Idk what changes were made in the most recent update to Lemmy but a lot of my complaints here no longer appear to me occurring, so that’s great news!!
Blackout curtains, melatonin, whatever you can to control your sleep and block out noise and light are a must. The ice cream man can be your enemy. Stock up on emergency 5 hour energies, I like to have soylent in reserve too because sometimes food and shit won't be available.
I won't lie, night shift strained many of my relationships. It took quite a bit from me. But it can give back too. Things like audiobooks and videogames replaced drinking at bars with friends. Have solo hobbies prepared.
There's a temptation to become diurnal on weekends that will work against you.
Also, you have to be firm about your schedule with people. They don't consider night shifts in their plans, so you want to make sure you let people know often what can or can't work with your sleep cycle.
I worked midnight to 8am as a security supervisor at a hospital. It was nice in some ways and awful in other ways. Honestly, all the ways it was awful occurred outside of the actual shift itself. It was harder to hang out with friends, I was always tired, I had to try to get tired and sleep while it was sunny out (blackout curtains and sunglasses on the drive home ftw), and the world was waking up while I was going to bed. It was hard on my relationship with my wife.
The shift itself was pretty great actually. The hospital was quieter at night. As a supervisor, I did have some issues with my guards falling asleep at desks or trying to hide and take naps. Two people got fired over it. But most of them were pretty good. One guy fell asleep while driving the patrol vehicle and crashed it into a gate. That was embarrassing for everyone and he ultimately lost his job (he didn’t admit to falling asleep, but we all suspected it - he was working two jobs and was perpetually tired). The best thing about the job was sneaking up onto the roof early in the morning on my patrols and watching the sun rise.
A very French joke: We used to use their email client and send to the whole team “Hey, I feel generous so tomorrow morning I will bring croissants for everyone. Look forward to it!”
The person would get plenty of “thank you” emails in reply and discover the trick. It was a small office so usually the person would bring the pastries. Yum!
My current schedule is two swings, two days, and then either a third day or a graveyard. Weekly overtime can be any of those three shifts, and not necessarily the same per week. I’ve been doing it for sixteen years. Arguably, you get used to it, but consistency is key. Having a kid wasn’t too bad at first, but now that they’re school age, it makes it pretty difficult to be as present as I’d like to be. So, I get by with a lot of coffee. I had a respectable drinking habit for a long time, which I thought helped somewhat, but it really didn’t. Regular exercise helps a ton if you can swing it. Blackout curtains and ear plugs or a noise machine are huge. I also use an eye mask too. Best of luck, nights aren’t for everyone.
I brush twice a day. I had a kind of gross moment that forced the habit. One day I looked up microscopic pictures of teeth. Normal teeth kind of look like a cool lattice structure under a microscope. Non-brushed teeth… the bacteria looked SO disgusting. I do not want that in my mouth…
