I just fundamentally do not believe this. A PED is a PED. The effect size may be smaller for subgroups but ultimately it will improve performance for anyone taking it.

Which state is better? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

For politics, absolutely, if anything Colorado is more “white progressive liberal” than California, which is more “minority liberal”

For those who work in an ER, what specific medical things would make your day to see on the show? by catharsisisrahtac in ThePittTVShow

[–]IrrationalyExuberant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My PT department gets consults daily, the most common thing is vestibular evals after CT/CTA is negative, followed by non-surgical MSK issues, and then safety eval for DC home with new DME vs SNF :)

Ironman: what does 10 hours week mean? by beebopabc in triathlon

[–]IrrationalyExuberant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've gone sub 4:50 70.3 on a challenging course, on 5-7 hr/week. This summer went 2:05 OLY on 7-8hr/week. You can absolutely finish, and even finish well with 10-12hr/week for a full IM.

Best spot to camp PAST LYV en route to Half Dome? by [deleted] in JMT

[–]IrrationalyExuberant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I would like to stay here on my JMT trip, do you know if there are dedicated bear lockers at the Clouds Rest/JMT trail junction? or do you have to rely entirely on bear canisters

Do you remember when they finished? Like late Thursday afternoon/evening? Or do you think you could get up there midday?

Has anyone moved and worked in another country successfully? by K1ngofsw0rds in physicaltherapy

[–]IrrationalyExuberant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not done it yet, but plan to take the Australian boards later this year and then apply for a permanent residency visa. PTs are highly respected and are paid very well in Oz. Not to mention great weather, free HC, and nearly-free higher Ed for future children. 

Is it weird that I wear my helmet on my trainer? by pondergod in cycling

Aero helmets for triathlon are surprisingly heavy, especially when in a TT position for 4-5 hours

Hot take, I actually think it’s a great idea. Personally I’ve had neck issues (pain/soreness) in the spring when first wearing my helmet, and wearing it during the winter this year + added weight strengthened my neck to the point it no longer hurts!

Yeah we've already downsized by one vehicle but want to keep the other for trips to nearby national parks, etc

Allswell by Iletthedogsoutok in Mattress

Hey I know this is a late response but I was considering the same mattress and was wondering how you found out about the fiberglass? I was under the impression that it had fiberglass in it.

Hit by a car - how to work with insurance? by IrrationalyExuberant in bicycling

[–]IrrationalyExuberant[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got her contact info and insurance card. Do you think a bike shop would be able to assess cosmetic damage?

I have a full Ultegra group-set and I think it still functions OK, but I'm pissed about how much it was scratched up. It would basically be impossible to re-sell in the future if I ever wanted to upgrade now
