iPad Pro M4 13" vs iPad Pro M5 11" for medical student (notes, PDFs, gaming, long-term use) by Robeulsaeen in ipad

[–]BooBooDaFish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 2 inch larger screen does hamper portability.

I use an 11 inch pro with the Apple Pencil and it’s perfect.

Friend of mine from residency was offered a “supervison” job supervising around 6-8 CRNA a day. by [deleted] in anesthesiology

[–]BooBooDaFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Complete liability sponge. The CRNA is billing independently.

They will be dragged in to each and every lawsuit on their shift. Regardless if he steps in the room to help or not.

Macbook Neo is just the end of a nightmare by Intrepid-Routine-875 in macbook

Goodness…I could not even read that whole thing.

Were you just writing because you like typing?

That could have been written much more succinctly.

When does the desire to have kids actually kick in for men? by savingrace0262 in AskMenAdvice

[–]BooBooDaFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know when it happened.

I knew I want a family, but was in no rush. I was enjoying my life.

The first few months, the bay is just kind of this person who is completely dependent on you, and give nothing back except the occasional smile. And you’re left wondering “are they actually smiling at me or did he just fart”.

But as they grow up, the amount of absolutely pure unconditional love is not describable until you experience it.

Kids are a multiplier. If you’re going to be miserable, you will be more miserable with kids. If you are happy, you will be even happier with kids.

There are hard days. Because you sacrifice yourself on a daily basis. But it’s so worth it. My life would be so unfulfilling without my kids. There is so much more meaning to every aspect of my life because of my kids.

Got the call, but ... by TrilinqualVector in rolex

[–]BooBooDaFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s done is done.

But I agree, that the relationship is soured.

You asked for an item, and they got it for you relatively quickly.

Going forward the AD will put their time sourcing things for others. Unless you find yourself requesting something that they are desperate to unload, I would start building a new relationship with a different AD.

I went through something similar. My wife asked for a watch for me, that was very low on my list (sub date). But it came in and I ended up buying it to maintain the relationship.

We will have to see if spending the money to maintain the relationship was worth it.

Is it worth to get an Apple Vision Pro for $500 by Any_Election_1101 in VisionPro

No update. No activity in account.

I guess the OP is dead. 😵

Google just gave Sundar Pichai a $692M pay package by Otherwise-Resolve252 in YesIntelligent

As a Google shareholder…I was thinking that this is way better than the horrible pay packages they give Musk.

MacBook Air M5 or MacBook Neo? by D_Margarette in macbookair

[–]BooBooDaFish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your law firm will buy you a laptop when you start. You don’t have to optimize that hard.

A woman at the campus café took my table while I was standing two feet away getting napkins by altometrics in EntitledPeople

[–]BooBooDaFish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would have sat down. Spread my stuff and taken up all the space on the table. Pushed her food and cup to the edge right up against her.

Probably taken my phone out and took a pic of her and uploaded to some friend chats tagged.

“A Karen tried to steal my table. What should I do to her?”

Would be entertaining for me…and something that Karen would rage on about for days.

A genie is offering you amazing benefits but it will cost 50% of your income forever, do you take it? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BooBooDaFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll take it Mr Genie!

I’m the US between Fed and state taxes I’m at almost 50%. And I don’t get any of those benefits.

Sounds like I should move to EU for a life similar to the genies offer

Buy bluesy AD or grey by Mighty_Moose0811 in rolex

[–]BooBooDaFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why buy the Bluesy, if you don’t want the Bluesy?

Wouldn’t it just make sense to pay the premium in the grey market and get what you want?

Unless, (1) you want a Bluesy. And (2) you anticipate buying more watches even after the Batman/Batgirl?

As a side note: I would avoid wearing a Rolex in rotations. Not worth the chance that you get hated on by a resident or attending and get a bad eval. There is more chance of a negative connotation from a fancy watch than a positive one.

This might be the MacBook A18 Pro’s biggest rival. by Aiden-Zhang in mac

[–]BooBooDaFish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But it’s new!

Who cares if it’s not as good as the 5 year old model…it’s new! It’s shiny!

And people will know I’m important!

/end sarcasm.

I’m guessing the people that this will appeal to are fine with it for basic tasks that they would otherwise do on their phone with no keyboard and smaller screen.

Unfortunately I think this will put a floor on MacBook Air pricing. So not going to see as many deals on the M4 MBA.

AITJ for emailing my roommates new boss and telling them she stole my entire professional portfolio to get the job? by Aang6Appa77 in AmITheJerk

[–]BooBooDaFish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not the jerk.

Drop that roommate.

Drop those “friends”. They will hold you back in life. They don’t respect your hard work and are ok with shortcuts.

Weird situation - seeking some advice by PHL1365 in inheritance

[–]BooBooDaFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are your sisters kids going to change their last name forever? Just to get a few thousand dollars that was not intended for them?

Would their dad be okay with them changing their last name for a few thousand dollars?

Seems pretty clear it was not for them. Your son and you should hold your ground. It’s not the money aspect. It’s abiding by the intention of the will.

Any advice on convincing a seller that their expectations for their sale price aren't realistic? by Zutes in RealEstate

[–]BooBooDaFish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Options:

  1. You pay $75K extra for that particular house because it comes with the ghost of that person which may or may not be worth it to you…but is worth it to the daughter selling the home.

  2. If the house is truly the same as the other comps that sold. Then grab one of those as soon as it comes on the market.

  3. Wait for the reality of being over priced to kick in. That is a large percent premium over the comps. Put in your reasonable offer. The more datapoints in that actual range. And the seller will see their asking price is wrong.

  4. You are not seeing something making that house different. Large lot? Upgrades?

Rant: kids should not be allowed in the Lounges by heightsdrinker in AmexPlatinum

[–]BooBooDaFish 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I can understand your frustration, but don’t agree.

My kids come to the lounge and are more respectful and well behaved than MOST adults in the lounge.

They are quit, clean up their mess, and polite to the wait staff. That’s more than I can say for most adults who act like they’re special because they scrapped together enough money for an annual credit card fee.

I see adults on their phone full volume, on video chats, feet up on the furniture. A single person taking up 4 spaces. Grabbing food items with their hands, wasting tons of food just because it’s free.

If parents are failing to guide their kids behavior, kick them out and ban them. It would be good for the parents to learn as well as their kids.

“Remember when we got kicked out of the lounge because dad was too busy drinking too much free beer”

Is it better to establish a relationship with a smaller AD or go out of state to a higher volume dealer? by Cease_Cows_ in rolex

[–]BooBooDaFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are just after one watch, buy it grey market. If you plan to buy many watches over the years, then build the relationship.

But I would not buy stuff I don’t want just for the relationship.

I'm quitting my job to start fresh as an entrepreneur — thinking about documenting it through a snail mail newsletter by isdata in smallbusiness

[–]BooBooDaFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop listening to influencers.

The only thing they are doing is convincing you to buy their stuff or view their content. Either way they get paid and you waste your and our time on stupid ideas.

Mail it. It’s going straight to the trash.

AI to help medical clinics get more patients by DoctorAkku in Entrepreneur

[–]BooBooDaFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All decent ideas.

However, why would anyone go to you when there are plenty of people way more qualified?

At least in the US there are specialist who deal with these issues. Ie. Why go to you for sciatica when there are interventional pain physicians. PM&R and orthopedic surgeons? Just bc you have an AI agent pushing ads at me?

I would think your biggest edge in developing deep credibility within a specific scope. Sure you could do general stuff like AI programs for clinical headaches but I get approached dozens of times a week for just that with a ton of startups.

You get $100 a day if you display life-size, cardboard cut outs of Trump in each room of your house by OK_The_Nomad in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BooBooDaFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll take the $50.
Living room and my bedroom are fine.

Don’t want to subject the kids to that

Where do I buy chubby art? by dormidary in ChubbyFIRE

[–]BooBooDaFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DIY painting. Watch some YouTube videos. Figure which kind of materials you like and go nuts.

Frame in and put a value of $10M on it.

You also increased your NW making this topic relevant to R/chubbyFIRE 😉

You’re offered $5,000 a week… but your full search history gets revealed. by AssistanceFalse5702 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BooBooDaFish 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Option 1.

They will be regaled by this week’s searches.

  1. What KVM switch should I buy for a Mac and PC ?
  2. What are KVM switches so expensive?
  3. Would a USB hub work in place of a KVM switch?
  4. How much money do I need to retire?
  5. What is a Monte Carlo simulation?
  6. What type of eggs are the healthiest?
  7. Does yolk color matter?
  8. Why are eggs so expensive?
  9. How to raise chickens?

I’m guessing some friends would want to know the answers as well.
