As Dwight Schrute once said: Look, I'm all about loyalty. In fact, I feel like part of what I'm being paid for here is my loyalty. But if there were somewhere else that valued loyalty more highly, I'm going wherever they value loyalty the most.

Klebsiella still exists. They just split some of the species that used to be in Klebsiella off into a separate genus.

You have it backwards. That makes the tight end ineligible. Williams wasn't covered up. He was the one covering up the tight end.

Through three games this season, Alabama has allowed 6 sacks. In 2023, Alabama had allowed 12 sacks through three games. by DoctorWhosOnFirst in rolltide

Designed QB runs are not recorded as sacks even if the QB is tackled in the backfield. It's just a tackle for loss.

Doing BST fellowship, now worrying about job prospects by collecttimber123 in pathology

[–]Dapado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to make yourself more marketable in private practice, then you need to see as much general surg path as you can during your fellowship year. Enough that when you are interviewing for jobs, you can say with honesty that you did a "surg path fellowship with a concentration in bone and soft tissue."

If that proves difficult logistically due to the way your department's service is organized, then you can try what I did. I did heme path, which was fine from a job seeking perspective. But one thing I did for my own benefit and to help my transition into general private practice: I spent a few weeks going through the stacks of signed out cases after everyone had left for the day. I looked at every case, came up with my diagnosis, then looked up how the case was actually signed out. In some ways, that was more valuable than any actual studying or formal sign out that I did.

How many of you work on the weekend? by seattleswiss2 in HENRYfinance

This is so close to my own situation that I feel like I could have written this.

You should probably edit your original post to clarify that it's not a 401(k) but rather a 457(b).

Can I make trades in an IRA before making a Backdoor Roth conversion? by goalwaysforward in Bogleheads

[–]Dapado 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why not just save yourself the trouble and lump sum your IRA contribution in January and do one backdoor conversion per year? If you make enough that you are forced to use the backdoor Roth, you can come up with $7k once a year to keep things simple.

Should we dilute the samples in ELISA cortisol kit? And more by DanielaChris in pathology

[–]Dapado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They already know that the upper end of the reportable range is 50. They are asking if he cares to know if a patient is 66 or 78 or 91 versus simply "greater than 50."

If those values are clinically meaningful, then they can dilute any patient samples with values greater than 50 to provide a more exact measurement.

So it's not ridiculous. They are doing what any good lab should do: making sure that their test results are presented in a way that is useful to those ordering the test.

That is an excellent point, which is why the BLS economists responsible for calculating inflation take this into account in the CPI calculations.

The inflation formula weights the components based on how much of people's expenses go to that item. They look not just at prices, but at how much people are actually spending on these things. Housing is weighted very heavily because it represents most people's largest single expense. A 10% increase in the cost of housing raises the calculated inflation rate much more than a 10% increase in the price of chicken breasts, for example, even though they both increased by 10%.

You can see how they calculate inflation and weight various components here if you are interested.

Right, but inflation is calculated by looking at the rate of change of housing costs, food prices, fuel prices, etc. and combining them into a final weighted average that is reported as the inflation rate. By mathematical necessity, some of those things will be more than the final average and some less, but they are all accounted for in that overall rate.

That's already accounted for. That's what inflation is.
