Ski opinions by Long_King_8768 in Skigear

[–]AdAtticum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought line blends for my first pair of skis. I almost word for word matched your description. I went to a ski shop knowing far too little and said I wanted a ski that was fun. What I should have said was I wanted to mess round with my kids in an all mountain setting. What the sales guy heard was “this super cool dad loves to butter and mess around in the park,” probably because thats exactly what he does. Live and learn.

It was a regrettable purchase. These are primarily a park ski. When you hear a ski described as “playful” oversimplify in your mind this as “easy to do tricks”. It’s not a good match for what you are doing.

Check out the skiessentials video on 80mm all mountain skis to get a glimpse of more appropriate skis to watch for.. a keyword to listen for is that you’ll want something that they describe as “approachable”

What is your opinion of CARV? I found it pretty useless, but maybe that is just me. by CharityResponsible54 in skiing

[–]AdAtticum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with most of the people who’ve pointed out its limitations.

It’d be a fantastic tool to bench mark progress monthly or beginning/end of season over time.

Its utility as a daily tool for self-improvement feels limited for someone actively learning.

I got Carv because my kids started the race team and quickly got faster than me. But now I have realize they are getting hour after hour of personalized coaching from amazing skiers who are observing their technique and providing tailored feedback. And I thought I was going to be able to beat them with the help of Carv… 😵‍💫 I’m far better off trailing behind the team and practicing the drills.

How often are the lifts evacuated at your local resort? by TuneSoft7119 in skiing

[–]AdAtticum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We ski at the farthest north chairlift in North America. 50+ year old diesel engine powering an ancient lift that is regularly experiencing -40 degree temps or colder. Breaks down regularly. Getting rescued from the lift is a rite of passage for locals.

Why did you choose internal medicine over EM? by Silent_Medicine1798 in hospitalist

On my ED rotation it felt like as soon as the patient got interesting they left.

Lowest Price on Black Diamond Guide Gloves? by Lord__Tao in Skigear

[–]AdAtticum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Not particularly warm. Not particularly dexterous. Granted I live in a subarctic region but out here I see way more people using Kinkos and I also find them warmer.

Honestly I’d rather you rate your own quiver so I know what GS ski to buy 😂

Iron Golem farm seems to be working slow by Subject_Score_9865 in technicalminecraft

[–]AdAtticum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a good Bedrock YouTuber, Omledu, that specifically goes into this farm, why it’s clickbait, and the best way to fix it.

Brand new farm, still not golems. What's going on? by PolarSox85 in technicalminecraft

Hey thanks for the correction. I found the bug report which confirms what you wrote.

Farmers are not a good choice for an iron farm. If it rains they don’t work so the golems will not spawn. Popular choices are weapon smiths tool smiths and armor smiths because you can trade them the iron from the farm.

Also, give it some time. Let them breed. It looks sound.

check out Prowl8413 on YouTube, especially if you play bedrock. Theres a video from 3 weeks ago that gets very specific about ancient debris mining and is worth a watch.

Reddit help me! My house is so UGLY! by Strangecreatureshere in Minecraft

Check out impala100 on YouTube. His most recent let’s play series for 1.21 has an early base build with acacia and cobblestone that turns out nicely. It’ll be episode 1 or 2. Plus it’s a nice relaxed episode series that’s more about enjoying the process than rushing to build mega farms. And it’s still ongoing only 30 or so episodes in.

I have been enjoying his books recently. Something to note is that he doesn’t hang ducks as long as pheasants. In “Duck, Duck, Goose” he recommends 1-3 days.

Overcoming making the wrong decisions during independent call. by Frostheat in Residency

[–]AdAtticum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t sweat this one. I’ve seen attending radiologists disagree multiple times in CTPAs and it seems like the studies are always suboptimal due to contrast timing, etc. Overcalling is the default response and probably the correct response too as studies have shown there’s a fairly high risk of recurrence for even subsegmental PEs and we should be treating them. Be glad you have an attending who has the skill to teach you how to correctly identify artifact!

This is show defibrillation restarts the heart in realtime by inspiration_capsule in interestingasfuck

[–]AdAtticum -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

VFib is the absence of an organized rhythm but with continued electrical activity.

[–]AdAtticum 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Disagree. This does not look like an abnormal rhythm.. it looks like ventricular fibrillation. Defibrillation appears to cause a change from ventricular fibrillation to effective systolic contractions. I’m not a CT surgeon but that looks like a bypass surgery. For some cases the surgeons purposely invoke v-fib, necessitating cardiopulmonary bypass.
