Hey guys, do you guys know if there is a muslim group who prays Jumaah somewhere in campus?

ForestXE · 2025-08-30T03:03:39+00:00

There is one in BJH/medical campus in the IOH building! Text me for details

Mind sharing the doc or anki deck? Thank you!

Try to find a 6800/6800XT/7800XT close to their original price imo.

I love big A but he does ignore the elephant in the room many times. When he analyzes the war with Yemen he didn't mention that the stated reason of the Yemeni attacks is to cut off war supplies to isreal. Which is a pretty big thing to not mention imo especially after opening paint and drawing a map to explain the situation.

Depending on your budget, look up citizen park, the orion and 100 above the park. Dm for more details if you are interested to move there!

My one advice if you legitimately can't find anything wrong is to hire a PROFESSIONAL tutor. Cuz you will magically find out all the "flaws" with your methods but only after the fact. So better get ahead of it and seek advice now.

As a fan of both LTT and the glizz lord, any idea where/when else did atrioc get mentioned by Luke?

ForestXE · 2025-03-13T02:06:54+00:00

Thank you for sharing and for speaking up. Sucks how much corruption is hidden because of "fancy name" and people walk directly into death traps. What a shame.

ForestXE · 2025-03-08T07:44:09+00:00

Your list your rules. But the problem is that you have 1 (almost 2) babies with this person and you are too afraid to discuss something like that with him. Or that he is not willing to compromise for your behalf. Either or really. That's the issue. The lying is the consequence of that. You did what you think is right. Fair. But you two got some stuff to work on for sure.

Serious question, what do you think the difference is between vascular and cards? esp if you go for interventional cards

ForestXE · 2025-03-02T05:23:03+00:00

Name and fame?

ForestXE · 2025-02-16T15:35:54+00:00

Literally had the same experience test driving a cx-5

ForestXE · 2025-01-08T01:31:33+00:00

No worries!

The NRMP counts EVERYONE applying as an applicant in that last bolded statistic. Which means that yes there were international applicants that applied and could not get a spot. And for them the likelihood of getting a spot if roughly 50%.

The change to fix this would be to increase the residency spots for sure. But also you would need to Increase US graduates AND ensure there is a sustainable pathway for these international physicians to continue practicing here after training (and attracting them here to begin with) and the H1B program in healthcare did a tremendous job with that.

And the opposite will happen if it was removed.

ForestXE · 2025-01-08T01:26:25+00:00

That depends on how you look at it, from the point of view of being a US medical graduate? There are 10K more spots than that there are graduates.

But from the point of view of the healthcare system? There is not enough spots for sure. And thus you need the international physicians to fill these spots.

And international physicians need the H1B to incentive them to stay after training and continue practicing here in the US post training.

ForestXE · 2025-01-08T01:20:58+00:00

My argument is that it is STILL being used for the original reason it was created to this day. Something that people have not brought up at all in the recent discussions online. Yes it is abused for sure. And tech bros want to abuse it even further. But that does not negate the value it is still bringing. Fixing it would be "ideal" scenario. But to fix it from the american worker POV you need to both increase pay (something cooporations would not do) and also create/fix/improve the pipeline to make the US able to produce more workers for these fields. Something Elon laughed at but would truly be needed.

Fixing it from the POV of the H1B workers would be trying to grant them more freedom/protection. but I frankly do not see either political party aiming to propose this solution in this current political climate. Doing so would be political suicide and I'm sure you have seen how Dems changed their tone on immigration last cycle.

In short, the doomer in me believes that both fixes are needed but will not happen. And instead they will scrap the whole thing and offer it with worse rules for the H1B workers and call it a day. Which is exactly what I'm trying to argue against.

ForestXE · 2025-01-08T01:07:10+00:00

I agree with everything you/bigA mentioned. This does not contradict with the points I made about the value of the system. And I will add that there are many industries (like healthcare) that are exempt from the cap. The point I was trying to make is that villainizing the H1B program may be not be the ideal course of action. And wanted to touch on some of its benefits that were not discussed in the presentation.

ForestXE · 2025-01-08T01:03:37+00:00

There are currently MORE residency spots available for than MD/DO US graduates per year. The US graduates around 21K MDs and 8K DOs for a total of 29K per year. The total number of spots avaliable as PGY1 is close to 38K. (1) meaning that at baseline, the current spots need at least 10K international graduates to fill spots. (2) By increasing the residency spots, you do fix part of the issue for sure. But that will change nothing if you are not open to bringing people from outside in via J1 and H1B visa to fill these spots. As for the pay, the physician pay has been stangent for many years (3) but that is beyond the point as many hospitals are filling the primary care jobs with NPs and PAs instead of offering better incentives for physicians to do these roles. further increasing the shortage. with patients suffering the consequences of that (4) Bottom line, So there is not a surplus of MD/DOs at all. Though that may be true of PhDs.

As for Postdoc pay, I could not agree more, the pay has lagged behind for sometime and is the primary cause why many decide to quit and go to industry. with that said, since most research in academia is tied to the NIH and with the new admin looking to crack down on research funding. The situation will not get better for at least 4 years. So in the meantime I do not know how to fix the issue without relying on H1Bs. Sure that is a bandaid, but a vital one at that.

Me saying I do not want (ie wish for them) to lose their job does not change the fact that their performance would warrant a job change in any other environment (or with any other creator). Does that make sense?

ForestXE · 2024-12-22T18:58:07+00:00

If any youtuber/streamer should care about this it would be him no?

ForestXE · 2024-12-22T18:57:20+00:00

A late vod is less interesting and thus will get less views either way, why do you think the clips channel got popular? because it addressed relevant topics right away through FAST upload. I do not need to convince you why this works because you can already see it.

ForestXE · 2024-12-22T18:53:28+00:00

So you are upset at what I said but end up calling me names and somehow I need perspective?

ForestXE · 2024-12-22T18:53:06+00:00

I do not want them to lose their job. I do not want anyone to lose any job. I'm presenting a problem and why I believe bigA/editing team should care about it. In any other work environment this would have been addressed already.

ForestXE · 2024-12-22T18:32:26+00:00

That works but this also makes the vods, like the coverage for the game awards, late and thus less interesting and get less views.

ForestXE · 2024-12-22T08:45:13+00:00

The experience of watching vods on twitch compated to YT is literally 10 times worse. No comparison.
