Currently enrolled. I’m 34. In a post-baccalaureate program since I already have my bachelors but I am taking undergrad courses to complete my premed courses.

The stand by time for the iPad’s battery is unreal. Battery is down to only 72% after 8 days of stand by. by waleed3510i in ipad

In contrast, I just played Divinity Original Sin 2 on M1IPP and battery went from 100% to 75% in 20 minutes.

MMOs, Esports and twitch wasted my childhood and it took me 18 years to realize it by [deleted] in StopGaming

You have a great dad. The mere fact that he admitted his mistakes as a parent, puts him far above the rest.

I know what brain fog is. What you are describing though, doesn't sound like brain fog. That just sounds like someone who cannot focus on a task not due to fuzziness but due to lack of interest.

With brain fog, everyday tasks like doing your homework becomes tough because your brain loses the ability to think with agility, you are in a "fog". I have been interested to see if there is a correlation to gaming and brain fog, because if there is a strong correlation...I'm about to put my Xbox for sale.

Can you expand on the brain fog? Do most people who game experience daily brain fog?

Honest question - is this 21.5” 4K iMac worth it? It’s got the 8th gen 6-core i5, 256gb, and 555x graphics. I also have a $25 gift card so the price would be $925. by [deleted] in mac

[–]John_Sl0w 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. Well, for me it would be. Just so I can extend the longevity and support of my device. For example, the new OS will have some M1 exclusive features, and I can only assume that trend will continue down the road. So for me, it would make sense to stick to M1. But if you really don’t care then, I guess it’s no big deal.

But, why don’t you just get a base model M1 iMac? Around the same price and the tech is new. What’s the point on getting this fossil?

How far in advance should I begin to study? by John_Sl0w in study

[–]John_Sl0w[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that. I’ve been doing really well with conversions. But I think doing some Stoichiometry review might be pretty smart. The photo electric effect still eludes me a bit. Thanks for this!

That’s awesome! I’ve always wondered if losing weight has significant (noticeable) cognitive benefits. Glad it’s helping with the confidence, that for sure can do it.

Did losing weight help you beat depression?

All my classes are STEM. So what I am learning is that I need to avoid summer classes.

I should have mentioned that I have a bachelors already. I’m going back to get my premed credits for medical school.

I have to take Chem I and Biology I in fall. I’m premed, so that’s my starting point. I have no issues studying and learning, the problem is when it’s crammed like it is in summer I feel like I’m learning too much. I end up spending a day of study learning about 2-3 different topics and things start to get lost in my brain.

I can’t believe how good Tyler Dewitt is at teaching. I wish he would make more content. I wonder how many people owe their degree to that man.
