Anybody on here done ENLS? I’m not gonna lie, it looks intriguing and I do enjoy a good neuro lecture.

Are you looking at the self-paced one or the live course?

The self-paced one. I don’t really have the time or money to spend traveling for a one day course. The layout for the self-paced version seems similar to NRP, so I was just wondering if anyone has taken it, or knows of anyone else who has.

I’m trying to get my “CE ducks” in row now so that I can be done with them by, or before the year is over. Who knows, maybe a degree eventually. I seem to do ok with self-motivated online stuff, and still like learning and things.

In other news, I just saw that UMBC is hosting a CCEMTP course 2 hours north of me in the summer, though I’m not quite sure I can commit that many weeks away from my job.

...decisions, decisions.

The CCEMTP course isn't really worth it brother. pm me

@VentMonkey CE for NR or for CA? I think I can use 10 hours of distributive for "free choice" topics.

Either, or. I think I’m going to give this one a go just to add to the CE’s required.

Cool. I'll be very curious to hear how you like it!

So I watched "Coco" on Netflix (Pixar) and am impressed. Mexican afterlife looks pretty sweet. Fan theory: book of life and coco are of common roots?

 

[PotatoMedic]

I really liked The book of Life. Have yet to see Coco.

My family and I absolutely loved this movie. The cultural touches are all pretty spot on, and done classy and quite well.

Adding alebrijes, ofrendas, and even the spanglish nicknames like chamaco all added extra authentic touches that seemed to resonate within the Hispanic communities; it got a lot of familiar chuckles when we saw it in the theater as well.

Fan theory: book of life and coco are of common roots?

The Book Of Life was ok, but Disney being Disney simply added their touches and budget, and voila...essentially outdid the former.

My theory (weekend-Disneyhead by default with two girls, and a former EMT partner who’s a full-fledged AP holder/ Disney snob)—IIRC, Disney was supposed to release this movie when The Book Of Life came out, but they didn’t so the other big animation studio produced Book Of Life seemingly expeditiously.

Book Of Life had some accuracy’s as well, like naming the “villian” Xibalba, which is essentially the ultimate Mayan underworld. And yeah, if you notice the similarities in the “after” life of both movies, both are parallel for a multitude of reasons. But I’m sure an actual Chicano Arts major, or culture-driven professor could decrypt their nuances.

I really liked The book of Life. Have yet to see Coco.

It outdoes The Book Of Life by my, and many of my family members standards.

I took the Mexican theme further and got some Mexican work boots. Leather, half the price and twice the comfort of 511s. Also, "Hecho en Mexico"

Were you able to wrangle a complimentary ostrich-skinned belt to accompany these boots?

Also, maintenance of said boots requires you leave them outside the front doorstep of your house.

 

[RocketMedic]

"Cebu" brand, generic black leather boots. Next ones will be the "Hecho en Mexico" American flag boots

 

[Carlos Danger]

"Sux racing"

Is this real or a hoax?

 

[RocketMedic]

Sux racing goes great with tide pods and the hot coil challenge.

Mmm....tide.

He got the belt that says "your name/su nombre" on the back.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes...

The person who gets the first fasciotomy wins...?

Which drone set up are you looking into? I’d love to get the DJI Mavic pro but can’t shell out the +$1,000 for it haha
