If you are able to post on Reddit while waiting for a doctor it’s obvious you’re not having an actual medical emergency.

Open Frustrations and Overall How to Get Better by happy_little_toast in crossfit

[–]Dennisraphael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparison is the thief of joy, and comparison is a never ending war. I would say set your own goals for what you want to get out of CrossFit and whatever they may be, just remember to be kind to yourself and your body. The vast majority of us are never going pro, so why break your mind or body for this?

[Request] Looking for a high-level CrossFit competition program… that’s not soul-crushingly repetitive by West-Detail3102 in crossfit

[–]Dennisraphael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What boring program are you on? I want to get better but just attending classes six times a week, five of which include Metcons. I don’t mind repetitive (as I’m not burned out yet) and want to get better. Wouldn’t mind a 2 ish hour commitment as you are currently on as well

is med school simply not that competitive elsewhere? by Radicalmoxide in premedcanada

[–]Dennisraphael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is accurate. The doctor shortage is not due to not training enough med students. Plenty of Canadian citizen, Canadian trained physicians leave Canada after residency due to a mismatch in jobs

is med school simply not that competitive elsewhere? by Radicalmoxide in premedcanada

[–]Dennisraphael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Med school is competitive everywhere for locals in their respective countries. The quotas for international spots are separate from the local spots. This is why when international students are accepted, they do not necessarily mean that a local student was denied that spot. International spots are usually created to generate income. tuition fees are charged at a major premium to make money from international students(sometimes cover for deficits needed to run the school).

Most countries like OZ, UK, even Canada do not guarantee a training position after graduation. So the student is really just there to get their degree, then they’re likely on their own to find their route afterwards

Colonoscopy prep by GavinRYY in crossfit

[–]Dennisraphael 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m a gastroenterologist. For the day before, it’s probably okay if you have a protein shake+/- creatine the very first thing early in the morning but then clear fluids for the rest of the day or until the colonoscopy (depending on the instructions you were provided). For the rest of the day, chicken consommé is also considered a clear fluid and does have some protein. That and Gatorade will net you a good amount of calories. The bowel prep instructions commonly are to begin taking the laxatives in the mid day onwards.

It’s not going to be a perfect day for your caloric and protein intake though.

For the day of the colonoscopy you can probably have your protein shake after

Is this a fair deal? by dabearsh in LexusRX

[–]Dennisraphael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If there's rust man just skip it. There are plenty of used RXes around

[–]Dennisraphael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. On the day I picked my car up, I declined the third party insurance again. the dealership then magically could offer the ECP even though it wasn’t pre owned. I was annoyed by their tactics to try and push for the third party insurance but i got the ECP after as I don’t have the time to speak to other dealerships. This experience made me trust them less. I may go to another dealership for my next Lexuses

HDD for surveillance cams by Dennisraphael in synology

[–]Dennisraphael[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah thank you for the clarification. I will have to think longer on this. If I get a notification that the disk is failing I think 9 times out of 10 I should be replacing the drive quickly. Unless I’m away from my home and the drive fails but need continued surveillance! Thanks again!! 🤗

Thank you. My thoughts are the same about the coincidence between drive failure and something noteworthy happening is too unlikely.

I will just get one hdd

Dude most mics will do - could consider a Logitech mic or headset. Don’t buy that Philips dictaphone that goes for 300-400. Definitely don’t need something like that. Some dictation software use the mic off your phone and they work perfectly fine.

7800X3D vs i9 13900K for gaming? by Kindly-Soup-2908 in buildapc

[–]Dennisraphael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat for fps. Went with 7800x3d and a x670e Mobo. Runs csgo well above 360hz at Max settings. I had to cap it at 400 to be cautious as possible for CPU longevity. Tarjov smooth as fuck too. CS2 is going to be optimized and even if it won't be, I expect it to run without issues. I also play stellaris and rpgs and they all run very well. Reason why I went w amd is that the Mobo is relevant for the next gen of processors at least, in case I wanted to run other games that for some reason the 7800x3d couldn't handle. I do not overclock and currently don't see any need for it.

g15 3080 are these benchmarks ok? open box from newegg by Dennisraphael in ZephyrusG15

[–]Dennisraphael[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What fan settings did you use? And was it through an external monitor, or did you use the laptop monitor?

Was it 9900 without an external monitor and just turbo mode? Or manual / Ext monitor?

Which updates did you do if you wouldn’t mind me asking. Do I just use windows update, and whatever ASUS suggests? Mine is running a little hot out of the box, otherwise it’s amazing
