Taper, cold turkey or replace with tea?
Hi there. I understand this group is about being 100% CAFFEINE FREE, but I'm wondering about the best approach to quitting.
I've been a lifelong coffee drinker (2-3 cups a day).
I recently swapped my afternoon coffee for tea and am already feeling the benefits of that (better mood, better sleep, clearer head), and I think ultimately, yes, I do want to quit COFFEE 100%, although maybe not caffeine.
I'm wondering what others' approach has been. Did you quit cold turkey? Replace with tea at first? Taper? How did it work out for you?
Thanks

Which Biostats test to try to use to analyze pre/post survey data
Hey guys, looking for some advice; i perfromed a QI project at my hospital. Essentially anonymous pre-survey is assessing comfort level with a particular technology, questions generally reporting "i feel comfortable" or I do not feel comfortable with". Then a lecture was given and a post-survey (again anonymous) was given assessing same questions to see if the lecture had any impact. Data is on google sheets so essentially i have the percentages for the binary questions. Pre survey sample size 22, post is 11.
I understand ultimately very poor setup for any kind of real analysis but is there any kind of test I can try to utilize with this type of data. thank you in advance!

Manservant and Maidservant - Ivy Compton-Burnett (1947)
This book is absolutely freezing cold. There is no passion, no love and no vitality whatsoever in the Lamb household, it is of course not permitted. Horace Lamb, the father and head of the family, is maybe a perfect ascetic, physically, mentally and spiritually, his only desire is to make use of as little of the life around and inside him as he can. Yet he is also at all times clutching at a kind of perverted, polite Victorian domestic tyranny at all times. Very reminiscent of certain Dickensian characters, but for me in many ways even more disturbing than the likes of Scrooge or a Uriah Heep.
As for the titular manservant and maidservant, the butler Bullivant who has "served the master for forty-five years" and the family cook Mrs. Selden, it seems to me that they for the most part serve as extensions of Horace's ascetic ideals for much of this novel, perpetuating the generational misery through their influence on the younger servants, the orphan Miriam and workhouse boy George. Even more than Mortimer or Horace's wife Charlotte, it seems that their lives can only exist if the master does, or at least the correct kind of master since "not even Mr. Mortimer has the mien of one having authority, as the master had."
Some of the most strangely written children you're ever going to come across in any book. So much of this book feels like a kind of exaggerated homage to the domestic drama of Victorian literature, and nowhere is this clearer than in the Lamb children, especially in their speech. The vernacular of the children feels completely to odds with the reality of their lives. Despite it being brought up several times that not even all of them can read or write, and the eldest of the flock being only about a dozen years old, they all still argue, speak and reason in an even more serious manner than you would expect adults to, and often times they do. However strange this stylization might be, I don't think it takes away any of the sympathy that you might develop for the children and their situation, I know it didn't for me. There isn't for example, almost any scene with children that I can remember affecting me more than the beyond miserable Christmas Day that they are subjected to by their father, and despite the severity of their speech all the emotion behind it feels real.
In some ways worse off than the children, who still at least have the potential of future adulthood intact and in front of them, are Horace's wife and his cousin Mortimer, who despite planning to elope and escape from Horace's miserly, tyrannical grasp, realise when Horace falls ill and seems to be not long for this world that there is really nothing they can do other than remain in submission to his will. Both are absolute dependents and are incapable of leading life on their own terms, as is showcased further by Mortimer during his time alone after being banished from the household by his cousin after his desired, but ultimately unsuccessful transgression comes to light.
Ivy Compton-Burnett has a clearly defined mission in writing this novel, and from what I understand her task is very similar in several of her novels, that being trying to understand the domestic tyranny that certainly was in her household, as it has been in countless since the very beginning of the concept of family. The kind of cruelty on display here has a more unique, and assuredly more personal, Victorian flavour to it. Its a kind of intellectual brutality which rather than any outward violence or displays of control, deals in politeness, insinuations and a twisting of logic to subdue ones opposition and over time rot away any instinct they might have to rebel or attempt to live in one's own way.

Huge Job Shift
This is kind of a long one.....sorry....
I am currently a CF at a clinic (ABA, ST, OT, PT) and I love this population as I have experience as an ABA tech (2 years) and experience in grad school with the ASD population. I enjoy the clinic setting however I have learned this company has a very high turnover rate for reasons I have come to realize throughout my CF. There are a lot of things that have happened to me specifically within the company but, the biggest issue is the financial hole the company is currently to high productivity expectations and opening locations they cannot afford. This caused abrupt layoffs and people being cut from salary, placed on billable, and losing benefits without notice. I have been looking at other opportunities for employment after I get my Cs (I will have all my hours end of May). I have multiple co-workers doing the same thing. We don't feel stable in this environment and I am trying to pay loans, car, insurance, etc.
That being said, I was reached out to by a BCBA and clinical director of a company I was a tech at (I have worked for her at 2 places and also provided respite services for her family). Their company is starting to work with allied health and is in the process of starting PT, OT, and ST services. She asked if I wanted to set up a phone call so we could talk about me potentially coming on as an SLP with the company. I spoke with her and I would be the first SLP on the team and building up caseloads across 3 clinic locations to ultimately onboard SLPs at the locations furthest from me so I can provide services at my preferred location. She told me there is leadership and growth opportunities due to me being the first SLP on the team. The pay would be amazing and the leadership opportunity is a huge bonus. She also offered me 4/10s (which I want but my current company won't allow it). I just don't know if this is too crazy of a thing to do straight out of my CF. I am basically on my own currently and I have other SLPs to collaborate with, but I know I can always email/text/call them as well as past mentors I still ask questions to when I need help. I am still learning but this can be an amazing learning experience. She also mentioned they had been interviewing more seasoned SLPs who had been backing out due to not wanting to be the lone SLP and having not been in ABA before.
I guess I am looking for some input on this. I am weighing out all my options and she said I would have an offer letter in the next week or so. She is also willing to wait for me to get my C's and have me onboard in August.

Review & Discussion - My Thoughts
Introduction
This is one of the greatest animes to be ever created. I watched the whole show up to episode 59 a long time ago and since I just got my hands on Crunchyroll I knew I had to watch the rest of the show. I binged the whole show in 3 days and I want to give my thoughts on it. I am sectioning the show into chunks since there is a lot of things happening. Certain episodes are of course better than others but if I were to share my thoughts on the show as a whole these chunks makes the most sense to me. Separating s4 in the way I did may seem controversial but imo midway through 78 is the turning point in s4 in terms of the story.
Season 1 (1 -> 13)
The beginning of the show is something really I want to experience again for the first time. The fall of Zhiganshina and the first episodes are extremely dark and if you are someone new to Attack on Titan this may be a punch in the face. When Eren and Mikasa watch Carla get eaten by Dina that moment sets the tone of the story in a very dark way. As early as in ep 2 we see the scene where Grisha injects Eren with Titan fluid. I really like that we get a glimpse of Grisha and the mystery he entails early. This first part of s1 is a really good way to start of a season. I think the trost battle was a little too drawn out at certain points but overall a really good start. 8.5/10
Season 1 (14 -> 25)
This part of season 1 is obviously good but in the grand scheme of the plot of the story it is nothing extraordinary in my opinion. The focus is on character development and tone. The mystery that the female titan is Annie only adds more questions to the plot. The plot thickens and the curiosity only builds. I like the buildup that this part brings but if the Ilse's Notebook episode would have been squeezed in here it would have been a lot more interesting. 8/10
Season 2 (26 -> 37)
This is where the show really ramps up. This whole season is where things start to really get amazing. The only problem I have with this season is the castle scene. It is a little too drawn out and when Reiner does not push Ymir on the fact she can read on the tin can I was a little frustrated but overall, fantastic. 9/10
Season 3 (38 -> 49)
Overall really good. The Rod Reiss ordeal with Historia not wanting to eat Eren and her internal struggle between her father and ultimately deciding on her own what to do is a fantastic way to move us forward in the story. The story may have been that Historia took the injection and tried to eat Eren and then Mikasa swoops in to save the day. The Reiss titan was imo a little too easy to defeat and it happened maybe a little too quick for my liking but the storytelling is fantastic. 8.8/10
Season 3 (50 -> 59)
This is my favourite part of whole show and nothing comes even close to this in terms of my enjoyment. The medal ceremony when Eren touched Historias hand that was the turning point in the whole story. Every foreshadow in these episodes are so perfect. When the Owl tells Grisha about Mikasa and Armin that was revolutionary to the story looking back. Ep 59 could have been the last episode if Eren said something else at the end of 59 and I would be fine with the show ending there. 9.9/10
Season 4 (60 -> 77)
I probably will get some disagreements on this but I actually don't like whole Marley section one bit. I enjoyed following Zeke and Reiner but when it comes to Gabi and Falco I could not care less about them. There are too many characters introduced in too short of a timeframe even on Paradise. I maybe could have enjoyed this season more if there were less characters to follow and keep track of. Yelena, Nicolo, Griez, Onyankopon, Colt, Falco, Gabi and 50 bajlilion more. The problem I see is we end 59 on a really strong highnote and then we are thrown out into the open of an entire new world following a new set of characters. We don't even have a timeframe to work with. The time that passed since the end of 59 when Eren and the others are at the beach and to this season is too great for me to get to know the new Marley people at all. The story continued forward in a way which I did not really enjoy all that much. Also, when Sasha died it was actually the most devastated I had been for a long time. That made me care even less about what happened to Gabi and the others. 5/10
Season 4 (78 -> 87)
Because I had a somewhat bitter taste in my mouth after the first part of season 4 I had no clue how they would continue the story. The last part of 78 really got to me. 78, 79 and 80 are fan-fcking-tastic. The absolute brilliancy when it comes to these 3 episodes are incredible. After 80 we enter a bit of a chaotic state where nothing really happens for a while. Episode 87 is just off to me, why are we getting information on why Eren left Armin, Mikasa and the others long after it actually matters. The bulk of 87 I would like to have instead around 68. Overall, this part of season 4 is hard carried by 78, 79 and 80. The rest is good but nothing spectacular. 9.5/10
The Ending (SP1 & SP2)
SP1 is a dark episode with the rumbling, Hange sacrificing herself and Eren helping that kid just to say sorry for the future pain he will cause him and humanity. SP2 is the final episode and a closing to a really good story. This episode is really well made and I am sure that if I watch it more times I get a better sense of how good it is. The whole story is dark and so is the ending. There are glimpses of hope and the final scene with the boy and the dog imo means the cycle will continue of titan powers. 9.5/10
Overall
This story is phenomenal, there is no question about it. I know I am posting this where some of the most dedicated fans are and there are bound to be disagreements on some parts. I have enjoyed this show a ton. Now I want everyone else say what their overalls thoughts are on the show since I am so curious what others have to say.
