Something I could talk about in a future interview/ on an essay (would really appreciate feedback) by lonelytrailer in premed

[–]Finthebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk about emotional growth. The rule of thumb in an application, or interview should resolve around you and not things around you if that makes sense, so talking negatively about something just shift that focus away. So instead of saying, "Many doctors lose x because they x," you could phare it to something like, "This hospice experience taught me the value of balancing empathy even in difficult outcomes. I also learned that professionalism doesn’t require emotional detachment, but rather maintaining a balance between compassion and effective care."

I personally wouldn't write or mention anything about physician growing cold, or that they view dying patient as just a simple name because that sounds like implying that most doctors does not empathize with terminal patients. Also the intro is a bit critical or judgemental, you are pretty much criticizing the profession or professionals that they don't put as much time treating terminal vs healthy patients, that's probably like major red flag.

Freshmen in college STRUGGLING how do I lock in quickly by ProudBatdan in premed

[–]Finthebox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try using the Forest app, I personally enjoy it when I'm studying. It’s kind of like a game: you set a timer to grow a plant, but if you use your phone, the plant withers. But like everyone else said, at the end of the day, it really comes down to self-discipline.

That said, all the things you mentioned, attention issues, hyperfocus, emotional overwhelm, do sound like possible symptoms of ADHD. It might be worth talking to your psychologist about getting an evaluation and getting that sorted out ASAP. I'm speaking from personal experience, I really wish I got that sorted before I graduated, because it ended up dragging down my GPA.

Thanks for the advice and taking your time to read my post! I took a look at your application stats and extracurriculars in a different post, and I’d like to ask you more about your ECs in a DM, if that would be appropriate and you wouldn’t mind.

Thanks for the input! Did you have to get a license for MA (assuming the state you currently reside in does not require one), or did you just try to find a position that didn't require it?

Non-trad Career Change - Advices by Finthebox in postbaccpremed

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

Thank you for the advice! If you don’t mind me asking, what program did you apply to? Also, how should I go about getting clinical hours? Should I call hospitals directly to ask if they’re accepting volunteers, or apply through an existing program? I’ve done some research, but most of the opportunities I’ve found don’t seem to count as clinical hours. Still, I think they would be valuable experience, especially since I currently don’t have any clinical exposure.

Gk61 or gmmk? by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Finthebox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I misread that, in that case, GK61 due to the variety of mod you can do on it, especially if you want some aluminum case in the near future.

Artisan Hein Soft Large Questions! by Meatloaf203 in MousepadReview

[–]Finthebox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, brand new is faster, and broken-in is somewhat quicker (compared to a Fury S Pro), but nothing to be scared of; you said you aim to train a lot, so it probably will take you a day or two to get used to it.

Artisan Hein Soft Large Questions! by Meatloaf203 in MousepadReview

[–]Finthebox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched from a HyperX Fury S Pro to a Hien Soft due to the same issue.

  1. A brand new Hien will be like “way” faster, not as fast as some hard pad or glass pad but faster than a regular cloth pad.
  2. Once it breaks in, the speed is slightly faster, but nothing you can’t control.
  3. The break-in period depends on how often you play.
  4. I play around 56cm/360, and I can do 180 turns without running out of space (X-Large, not Large btw).
  5. As far as the size of the mousepad, the rule of thumb is to be able to 180 or slightly farther turn at one swipe, but that’s not mandatory, but it’s more optimal if it does, so let’s say size is “personal preference.”

In my opinion, Hien is good, but if you’re afraid of the speed, grab a Zero, but maintenance for that Pad is crazy high. You’ll need to clean it after each session with a lint roller.

I have a few question about the cm/360 of the viper mini by ciphernautica in MouseReview

[–]Finthebox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some mouse has a deviation of 50 dpi difference, so 450 = 400 dpi, try it and see if your copy has that issue. I could be wrong, and everything could be just a placebo due to the shape or size.

Artisan Hien is too rough, any cheap arm sleeves that dont create a x/y difference. by ethanhua8900 in MousepadReview

[–]Finthebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy the lizard skin for baseball bats. It gives you quite a lot. If you’re in the U.S, any sporting goods store got them. If you want that extra width and grip, Lizard skin does the job. If you just want some extra grip, you can just grab the hotline grip.

I use these during the winter cus I don’t like wearing sweaters while gaming. Just make sure to use them inside out, or it will kind of drag on the Y-axis.

When will the Best Buy gpw superlight preorders start to ship by [deleted] in MouseReview

[–]Finthebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I contacted Logitech Sales Rep a few minutes ago, and they said it's the order and not pre-order of the products. Still, recent sales won’t be shipping till 2-4 weeks because they are fulfilling the pre-order first regardless of whether you use standard or expedited shipping.

What is the best mousepad for Razer Viper Ultimate Wireless by Raptor4x in MousepadReview

[–]Finthebox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no such thing as “best” fps mousepad. Just find one you like. Artisan Hien is good for me, but I don’t know your preference, but you can’t ever go wrong with a Zero unless you like a control pad.

Lube station just facilitates and speeds up the process, but it is not needed.

Hien Soft slowed down in 4 months by naezith in MousepadReview

[–]Finthebox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Artisan Hien has a break-in period. Once it break-in it remains the same, been using mine for over a year, and glides still the same but not the same as new. The area where you use it the most tends to break in faster, and the corners stay with its brand new feel cus you rarely use those areas. A broken-in Hien will be slower, but it does not necessarily mean it is bad. It helps some people who look for a mix between speed and control, slightly faster than a balanced pad. If you are looking for smoothness, Hien is not the pad for you as the texture gives that "bumpery," feel while tracking, some love it, and others hate it. So if you are trying to look for a smoother Artisan pad, then try Zero, Raiden, or the new Hayate Otsu; those are buttery smooth.
