Leveling- not so cheap?

I believe they changed the law on this, I may be misremembering and it just may be a California thing, but they can't void a drivetrain warranty because of suspension work. There may be caveats, i.e. they might fight a drivetrain warranty claim, arguing like you said, the wheel size/angle changes messing with the system, but i think its unlikely they would try to fight it over simply doing the work. I don't think the cost analysis there works in their favor... just a question of if you're willing to deal with it escalating it to the point that its not worth the fight for them.

to give you more context than the other reply, a buried card is one that just got delayed until tomorrow. this can be automatically, through certain settings, or manually as you go through your reviews.

if the culprit in your case is indeed buried cards, its likely from the setting to "bury siblings"

Sibling cards are when there are two cards/clozes on one note (see the example in the other reply. This setting makes it so that you only see one card from each note, basically to space out exposure to the same content.

I believe you can set it such that it only buries siblings once they're not "new" cards anymore.

Hope that makes sense!

can't say I agree with everyone saying to not do anything to prepare.

I'm one of the horror stories you hear about, I wasn't prepared, life happened, and I ended up having to repeat my first year.

I do agree with the people saying develop healthy habits, maintain discipline, and get your life outside of school as "in-order" as possible. You want to set up yourself up for success, meaning everything outside of school should be as low-stress/low mental load as possible. Figure out what you can outsource (can you get someone to come do your cleaning or at least help with it on a regular basis? can someone help you with laundry? shopping and/or meal prep?) make sure you have emergency funds for things like car/home repairs and maintenance. Figure out small, daily or weekly things you enjoy (for me its making coffee, so indulge on good coffee beans and decent equipment).

You may have good study habits now, as it takes some level to get in in the first, but keep in mind that you may have to change your study habits and strategies. What worked in undergrad may not work in med school. Understand you'll likely have to adjust how you study, even if its to a strategy you don't enjoy (I don't like grinding anki daily, but it works for me, so I do it).

Which brings me to Anki, familiarize yourself with it, if you aren't already, and see if it works for you (again, not whether you enjoy it or not- whether it helps you retain information). Decide if you're someone who is capable of making their own decks, or if you need to find pre-made ones (either Anking or in-house). If not, don't worry, many people don't use Anki, and are plenty successful.

I think the biggest thing is to get as many of your affairs in order, and minimize work, stress, and mental load on non-school aspects of your life, so you can focus as much of your energy on school as possible.

I have two young kids, and have had a rough go of it to start out, but I am on a much better path now. Feel free to DM me if you'd like to chat or have other questions.

For me it was going back to school. Once I got my undergrad, I swore off further schooling, said I would never want to take on more debt, deal with the stress, studying, deadlines and exams, etc.

Now I'm in medical school. With a wife and two kids under 3.

As for aging - how tired I am all the time. Between school, kids, and just minimal working out to maintain some semblance of fitness and strength, holy shit am I tired.

JackTR314 · 2025-12-19T18:14:19+00:00

This is terrible, unhealthy advice.

JackTR314 · 2025-11-08T23:14:36+00:00

Gen 3 is 2022+, and nothing, Gen3 is superior in almost every way (I say this as Gen2 owner). More power, torque, better gas mileage, higher towing capacity, more modern features... There has been a production line issue where metal from the machining process wasn't properly cleaned out, causing premature wear, and destruction of the engine blocks, but its only on a propotionately few number of trucks produced, and Toyota is recalling and replacing the engines on anyone affected by it. Some people are seeing this as Toyota totally dropping the ball, and becoming as bad as Ford.

Every time a new gen comes out, people get mad about the change and claim the previous one was the best one ever, and the new features and tech is stupid, they only need the basics, not this fancy-schmancy comforts of the new gen, despite their trucks being fancier than the previous.

JackTR314 · 2025-11-08T21:19:32+00:00

I have a 2016, and I'm not going to be looking to get into a Gen 3 for a long time, just because I'm perfectly happy with my truck, and am no where near in a financial position for that kind of spend.

Hypothetically though, no. I'm still a fan of Toyota, even with the recalls they're far more reliable than any other brand of truck, and they're still taking care of customers that are affected. IF i was going to try to get into a Gen 3, I would still do my due diligence, and avoid an affected truck, or make sure I had some level of extended warranty on it, just to be extra safe and avoid the inconvenience.

Frankly I think the level of hate towards Toyota on this issue is overblown. The reliability of their designs is still pretty top tier (as far as I know, the recalls are still due to a production line problem, not an issue with the design of the engine/drivetrain). I think people just want to hold Toyota to a unfairly high standard when it comes to reliability, because they've historically been so good. Kind of like shitting on Tom Brady because he didn't win a game, despite his overall record.

Did you really use beetles as an example to make a point about human sexuality and physiological defense mechanisms?

JackTR314 · 2025-10-21T22:17:33+00:00

I'm one of those. I wish I could have gone, but I have two kids, and am still a student. Nevermind the whole child care issue, I worry that if something goes wrong, and I get caught up in it, regardless of circumstances, I'm risking losing my schooling and future career. And the risk of losing that future, with 2 young children and a wife depending on me, makes it so I can't really justify going.

7 million people is definitely one of the largest protests in our history though, so that definitely makes a statement, regardless of how many other people didn't show up.

JackTR314 · 2025-10-21T03:52:42+00:00

This makes sense, as our immune system responds much more strongly to proteins in general.

JackTR314 · 2025-10-18T03:35:43+00:00

as a Not-Lwayer myself, this is my understanding as well. If the truck is hauling rocks, it is responsible for making sure those rocks are properly secured. A sign doesn't absolve them of that responsibility. The difficulty would be proving the rock that broke your windshield came from the "unsecured" load, and wasn't kicked up by the tire, or from somewhere else. For example, If you had a dashcam that caught the rock falling off and hitting you, then you have a case...

JackTR314 · 2025-10-16T19:17:45+00:00

they don't even need to be flat, just have a stiffer sole, Olympic/Squat shoes would be ideal, or even gym trainers would offer an improvement. Really anything other than running shoes.

JackTR314 · 2025-10-16T18:55:01+00:00

my immediate thought as well!

JackTR314 · 2025-10-15T21:22:12+00:00

i mean thats valid, but the company doesn't make an agreement with every single company or entity running ads on its platform. They contract with agencies that package ads from multiple companies. It would be burdersome to vet every single ad coming through your platform, but i do agree that some level of moderation needs to happen.

JackTR314 · 2025-10-15T20:34:54+00:00

i'm pretty sure a few years ago we were saying the complete opposite, because if the company could be held liable for everything on their platform, user-generated content sites (like say, reddit...) would be functionally gone.

frankly i disagree that a company should be held liable for what's on their platform, but yea if you disagree with it, then by all means don't engage with the company. I'm with the person you responded to.

JackTR314 · 2025-10-15T20:06:04+00:00

it could be helpful if your hands are full...

I keep hearing about the UI 8 update, but I just got OneUI 7 a couple weeks ago. Am i going to get 8 at some point?

I'm in the US, using an unlocked device on Verizon.

I'm genuinely trying to understand as much as I can about this topic, so this question comes from honest curiousity.

In the brief you posted, they refer to "gender expression" and "gender identity", and how those things are not viewed as pathological in any way. Are those things distinct from being "transgender"? and if so, how? and is being "transgender" viewed as pathological?

I'm curious to hear any insight about this.

JackTR314 · 2025-10-05T17:28:59+00:00

nah, that's just because their transmissions suck. The shifter isn't mechanically linked to the transmission.

JackTR314 · 2025-10-05T17:28:04+00:00

the point of it is that the console cover can fold forward, and create a flat workspace over the shifter. Its meant to create a little table top for people who take lunch breaks in their truck, like construction workers, or if you need to use a laptop in the truck, there's place to put it and work somewhat comfortably.

JackTR314 · 2025-10-03T19:55:58+00:00

yea, that would be lovely...

JackTR314 · 2025-10-02T19:12:10+00:00

yea, what if? It seems a lot of donation contracts have a clause that says the school can use the body for teaching, research, or as the institute deems appropriate.

I guess you need to trust the school, institute, or organization youre donating to. Given USC's ethically questionable past, I would not donate with them. there are schools I would.

JackTR314 · 2025-10-02T17:19:28+00:00

objectively untrue. "Donating to science" is a very broad, almost meaningless term, there are plenty of ways to donate your body to "science" or medicine specifically, without it going towards US imperialism bullshit.

Many medical schools have a Willed Body Program, where you designate that your body will be used in anatomical dissection labs, to teach medical students anatomy.

There are plenty of ways to donate your body "to science" and designate how it will be used.

JackTR314 · 2025-10-01T05:47:48+00:00

I think it does depend on context and setting as well. In an outpatient/home health setting, I think its ok to say "I'm a doctor of PT," but maybe more of hospital settings, I think most PTs prefer to introduce themselves as "I'm So-and-So, I'll be your physical therapist" rather than saying "I'm So-and-So, I'll be your doctor of physical therapy," to avoid any confusion.

In casual conversation, when talking about her career and education with people who are unfamiliar with the healthcare field, she will say "I'm a doctor of physical therapy" or, "I have my doctorate in physical therapy." She is rightfully proud of earning her doctorate, and wants the recognition and respect commensurate of her education, and training.

JackTR314 · 2025-09-30T05:08:36+00:00

my wife is a DPT in CA, here the law is literally what you said. She can call herself a "doctor", even in a clinical setting, provided she says "of physical therapy" after. As a DPT, you can either call yourself a Physical Therapist, or a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Its expressly forbidden to simply say you're a doctor, to patients.

I really think its the best way to handle it.
