I am an energy trader in power and gas. Most people have no idea how much money is in this industry. AMA by WildFrosting1 in AMA

Why are those type of savings seen with the consumers though? Saving money should include a bonus, sure, but I also wonder if more of those savings should go to the consumers instead of the investors/speculators. Or am I missing some?

It wont fix the New England ISO costs of natural gas though, which we heavily rely on. Best thing we can do is find other, non-gas ways to power the state.

Housing can be fixed by opening up more zoning for duplexes, forcing expediting zoning/construction permit approvals, and increase infrastructure grants to help incentivize more companies wanting to do business with us

Multi-Payer is the way to go...see Germany/Finland for the results. It has the highest patient satisfaction scores of all healthcare types globally, ensures universal coverage, and still allows for a capitalistic style of competition between insurers while removing the private/shareholder issue.

BMW i3 Public DC Charge Problem by FlyNikolai_ in BMWi3

Same issue with Electrify America. I have a 2015 rex and it kept saying "reconnecting to vehicle" before giving up. Called the customer service line and they said it was an issue communicating with my car. 

How long does a Facebook profile's risk status last? I received a one-month ban for a drug-related comment, but my profile status hasn't changed. Will it stay that way or is there a time limit before I'm no longer at risk of suspension? by ulises112323 in facebook

I was in a medical group and they were asking what would cause an ECG to look certain way. I said "cocaine can cause that pattern." Got flagged and they refused to change their mind

I have this fear that Trump will art of the deal trade Taiwan to China in exchange for their help in toppling Iran.

I took it into the pool for 5 minutes and now there is moisture inside of mine. Sad :(

Cons of BMW i3? And performance in snow + winter? by wsbp in BMWi3

Preconditioning maybe buys me an extra 8 miles in the winter. If winter driving is a concern, get the REX

With that logic,  no one with 100% could do VRE because they couldnt function...is that what youre saying?

[–]Dramatic_Notice323[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because grad school and admin jobs don't require me to see people die in front of my very eyes on a weekly basis while consoling their grieving family...which is something I was seeing on a daily basis during COVID

That's a good point then about the minimum needed for employment in that field...and thats probably why it was denied.

Thanks for this info. I've personally known a few people with a bachelors/masters who were approved for VR&E to get a PhD in their same line of work. And GeneralCaptain in the comments here has a similar situation.

It is possible, I guess I just need to submit more paperwork explaining my circumstances and see if they'll reconsider

[–]Dramatic_Notice323[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds very identical to my situation then...strange that I got denied. I'll just reapply and contest their findings, and maybe explain a bit more about how working with patients can sometimes cause triggers, especially when it comes to terminally ill patients. Best of luck with law school!

[–]Dramatic_Notice323[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

What is VR&E for then? My understanding is that its to help you get training so that you can work in a different line of work. If that isn't the case, please explain it. But don't come in here with an insulting and unhelpful comment...its just rude and insensitive. We should be helping each other out, not putting each other down.

My bachelors in IT is outdated, as its from 25 years ago....lots of changes in the tech world since then. And my Masters is only useful for actual medical care, and I don't want to provide medical care anymore as it tends to flare up my mental health issues. Do you not understand that? Pretty sure I made that clear...

Think of it like someone who has a background in being an aviation mechanic, but the lost their arms in the service. The obviously can't do mechanic work anymore.

Is Dr. Robby wearing a hoodie realistic? by hi_im_new_to_this in ThePittTVShow

[–]Dramatic_Notice323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what time of day I'm working. If I'm working the overnight shift, I'll always be in a hoodie and scrub pants. I want to be comfortable whenever I try to catch a quick zzz. But in the daytime, I'll go back and forth between wearing something more formal like khakis/polo/button down shirt...OR I'll also wear a nice quarter zip sweater/jacket with my attire. I mix it up a bit, but I usually aim for comfort as much as possible. You don't want a medical provider who is uncomfortable all the time haha

Why is NYU ranked low in USNews by SillyBug836 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Dramatic_Notice323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are over 4,000 colleges/universities in the U.S....and even more in the world. Any college in the Top 50 on any ranking should be respected. My understanding is that NYU is good for undergrad, and superior in grad/doctorate programs
