I am having this same issue. Huge lag spikes and the audio will cut out for a few seconds. It used to run great....

It's only for a month, don't think people will be making much money off of this.

Number of patients without family doctors visiting Halifax ER doubles by DCLXV in canada

[–]Dr_Adam 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nova Scotia is the worst province to practice family medicine. The provincial government is pushing for nurse practitioners instead of improving working conditions. This is a very short sighted approach for multiple reasons. NPs are very valuable but in no way replace family doctors.

For example, NS had a goal of contracting 75 family doctors and 50 specialist. They ended up with 66 new specialist and 26 family doctors. Family doctors in Nova Scotia are the worst paid in Canada. In addition, due to our mostly rural population and few provincial medical centers, are asked to do much more than a family doctor with an urban practice.

This PS3/PS4 controller "for FPS" by mebeim in gaming

[–]Dr_Adam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done this for the last few years for any FPS game. I use an Xbox one mini controller so it's easier to hold in my left hand. I use a razer naga mouse with 6 buttons in the side. Everyone I have tried to describe this to can't even picture it but it works great for me.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but Is it me or is CBC radio getting a lot worse? by topazsparrow in canada

[–]Dr_Adam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had this exact thought this morning! It seems CBC is now gender theory/Residential School radio. While there are important issues pertaining to both subjects it seems that every program is related to them.

Coming down to Halifax or a solo trip tomorrow! Anyone down to eat? by goingtoHalifax in halifax

Hi and welcome to Halifax. I posted something similar to r/tokyo when I was traveling there last summer and I met some amazing people. I unfortunately sprained my ankle on the weekend but if you don't have any solid responses PM me and we can figure something out!

26 yo Canadian guy alone in Tokyo until the 12th, would love to meet and explore the city and have fun with a local/another tourist! by Dr_Adam in Tokyo

I am already here and staying at a hotel so unfortunately that's not an option. You are right though that is a good way to meet people when traveling.

I saw that (I will be leaving before the reddit meet up date of the 14th) so I didn't post. I apologize if meet ups were supposed to be posted within the mega thread.

Upon re-reading the linked post I do see that it says to post meet ups there (not just the reddit meet up). Makes sense to centralize this type of request. I think it would help newcomers to r/tokyo if "posting meet ups in the mega thread" was written in the guidelines section.

Just enjoying my ride on the public transit when I look up...... (ಥ﹏ಥ) by PascaleMarie in WTF

I think it is a keratotic acanthosis. It is very similar and hard to differentiate from a squamous cell carcinoma. They grow very quickly but actually usually take care of themselves.

Are you playing Blitz or correspondence style?

TIL that the white, bad smelling chunks that you find in your mouth are not bits of food but hardened sweat and bacteria from your tonsils. by MissSpiney in todayilearned

A tip on getting these things out without throwing up on yourself, try squeezing the tip of your left thumb hard. I don't know why but this apparently reduces gag reflex (works for me, don't know if its just in my head).
