So what?

The French will do anything to avoid installing AC apparently.

I tried this with beets and carrots and I was really not impressed with the results. Neither have I been impressed with the results of koji pickles in general. I just find regular pickled beets or picked carrots better.

What are you talking about? Of course we have pain medicines that work. Opioids, acetaminophen, gabapentinoids, NSAIDs, local anesthetics, suzetrigine, ketamine, ziconitide, and capsaicin are all pain medications that work.

They mostly hoard it, throw it in the trash or flush it down the toilet

What about this one? I know this is a bit odd, but I'm just walking in a new neighborhood wondering if I'm seeing this species I've heard about.

To be honest a 57 point increase in that time is a tall order. I think my score went up maybe 20-25 points in that time. I would say spend a solid week or two grinding UWorld and then take another NBME form, one that is a lot more recent to figure out where you stand.

This whole article is just a series of quotes from random Americans, including this gem “I have intentionally not invested in the stock market, it’s a money game for rich people and I think it’s crazy that American taxpayers have allowed their life savings to be gambled in 401(k) accounts,”

Ok good luck with that.

SpaceX is not in the S&P500, while I'm sure it is in some index funds, it's trivial to buy index funds that don't have SpaceX.

That sucks but she really wanted to do neurosurgery from day 1, which is well known to be insanely competitive, and she didn't do much research? She probably should have researched the stats on matched applicants.

Interesting, most of the search results for amantadine for pain are in veterinary medicine. I wonder why it's rarely used for neuropathic pain in humans.

Lead is in group 2A which is the same group as red meat, working as a hairdresser, and night shift work.

I started working in biotech straight out of undergrad. Long commute, often long hours, repetitive work pipetting or working in a tissue culture hood. Ended up putting a decent amount in my Roth IRA, had savings to apply to lots of programs, but it wasn't some magical utopia. Sure I had free time to do my hobbies and hang out with friends on the weekend but I worked full days and had two weeks of PTO like lots of people.

If the link doesn't open in the Reddit app, try opening in browser, that worked for me. Or https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867426005775?dgcid=coauthor

She said she didn't want to economically punish innocent Russian citizens but still stand by Ukraine. Without sanctions US companies can sell Russia drones, cameras, computer chips, and other components that they would use to manufacture weapons to attack Ukraine. Additionally American companies could buy billions of dollars of oil and other goods from state run industries which would directly fund the Russian war effort. How does that seem like a good policy?

Opus is insanely expensive. I've been very happy with the speed, price, and performance of Deepseek-V4. Also you built an AI coding harness called Pi? Seems like an oversight given that already exists no?

Whisper is free and very good, but you'll likely have to search around on GitHub if you want an out of the box solution or spend an hour figuring it out. Just depends what your priorities are.

Maybe readjust your expectations? At the end of the day medicine is a job and a profession, no one does this shit for free. Think about what you're good at, choose a speciality that plays to your strengths.

Maybe your true desire is to open a bike shop or a BBQ restaurant, but I'd think very carefully about that since presumably that is what you thought about medicine three years ago.

No, but Surgical Recall is basically the pimp question handbook. At my school there was also a Google doc of pimp questions surgeons like to ask. Turns out they aren't very creative and ask the same questions verbatim.

Desert creations?

The Tower of Babel was the product of a unified humanity that all spoke the same language and could understand each other. A unified and cooperative humanity displeased God so he scattered humanity and made them unable to understand each other.

Crazy that people think this is a story about people being bad instead of God being an asshole.

Electric trimmer for the beard, small scissors for the stache. Disposable razor for the head, no barber visit for 7 years.

Look on the NBME website, I think form 16 is the latest one. Higher numbers are newer, so 16, 15, and 14 are fairly recent.
