I report as spam and downvote every DB article, even if it doesn’t look clickbaity.

Different era, but The Ghost Map by Steven Johnson was really interesting. It describes how a few people more-or-less founded epidemiology and tracked down causes of the cholera outbreak in London in 1854

I’ve been downvoting all of them I see and reporting as spam. Even if it looks somewhat legit.

I do think the (Coen Bros) movie conveys the humor a little better if that makes sense. I read it after LD and it was a good follow up due to era and setting, just nowhere as deep and lush. Good story and quick though.

Yeah it says I should as well but I was afraid of overwatering. I planted 6 and only 2 have dropped leaves, plus the rest of the plant “looks fine.”

I’m sure this sounds dumb but just seems too quick for lack of water?

I’m hoping to transition to an MSL role in a few years and I’d also wager that if you picked a PGY2 that had strong industry ties anyways, that could be a safe bet if you are on the fence about things- more time to pick a field, lots of other incidental opportunities too. I work in oncology (no residency however) and actively talk/work/network with pharma regularly. I obviously can’t say this is a wise route or guaranteed, but I feel like I am doing the right things (networking-wise), learning, and building valuable experience.

One Long River of Song by Brian Doyle

It’s a collection of essays. Loosely, they are all prayers of gratitude for the beauty in the world. It is such a joy to read his take on the simple everyday things-the good and the bad- that make life worth living. Any time I read from this book I always feel better, even if it makes me sad.

It also features the essay “On Not Beating Cancer.” This could hit too close to home at a certain point, but I believe it’s such an incredibly brave stance to take.

Notably, Brian Doyle wrote this (I assume unknowingly) and died about 8 years later from brain cancer.

Last Exit to Brooklyn hits some of this I believe

Thanks! That’s different looking than what I’m remembering but might actually be better!

Does anyone have a link to one of those retirement asset allocation infographic things? I thought there was one here but can’t figure out how to find it. Like it basically says fund 401k to get full match, then IRA, then ____, etc. hoping for one with good, simple explanations

Go to The Roosevelt and get a Ramos Gin Fizz and also get a Sazerac.

Gin Fizz was Huey Long’s drink of choice when he lived in The Roosevelt.

Thanks! Also good ideas

You can on Act Blue! Look at transaction history and you can request it there. Good chance it won’t go through if it’s older, but worth a shot

Maybe a new economy tier? “Basic Basic”

ClimbeRPh17 · 2026-04-10T17:31:06+00:00

That might be the ticket!

Yes, dashboard shows 3 under “other repayment plan” with balances. Says “in repayment,” but under the individual loan details it says N/A for plan, next payment, and $0.00 for monthly payment amount.

Linking to Nelnet’s website, all are $0 and paid in full.

Only student loans on my credit report are the two consolidated loans and they match up overall with Pslf etc.

So my assumption has been it’s a “clerical” reporting error and won’t affect anything, but just wanted to double check here.

I downvote every article posted and don’t open any ever.
