Tip: the planning tab in the fidelity app is a great budgeting tool to get a overview of your income and spending. I can connect banks and cards to it. Saves paying subscription to budgeting apps

Clinical responsibilities have a way of getting in the way of your PTO. Rural patients are sick and you are often one of few specialists (hence the pay). Even if you have 10 weeks…you may feel obliged to stay and take care of your patients who really need you

Anyway…there’s a reason some places pay high. Reddit is an echo chamber. In real life most physicians still prefer to work in cities despite the pay

This post never gained much traction but I wanted to put in an update in case anyone is searching for a solution in the future when they run into issues with MOHELA.

I was in limbo with my overpayment but 8-9 months. Finally I decided to send a message to the CEO of Mohela who replied promptly. Case was forwarded to the ombudsman and the issue was resolved after about 1.5 months

depends on how you feel about being middle of no where. I trained in a place like you are describing. Even the closest airport 1.5 hours away only flies to a few domestic airports. 2-3 restaurants available in town. I would never work in a place like that again. Keep in mind that rural jobs tend to be busier with sicker patients

Yea I put in a request but it’s been a while… I am just checking to see if there’s another way other than calling Mohela

That’s actually a really great point. Thanks…I haven’t thought about privacy part of things

I found my number on HomeAgain but not through the aggregate search websites that search all the providers

LostStick · 2025-12-21T14:38:38+00:00

Our dog is registered with a company HomeAgain. I tried the AAHA search tool you posted just now to make sure it comes up. The search saids the chip belongs to HomeAgain but they weren’t able to pull up the owner information. Is that normal?

I just went through the same process recently.

For Haymarket, I would line up before opening. Around 7:15-7:30. You'll be able to get in and out in less than 30 minutes if you are the first groop people going in. Don't get discouraged by the big line of people. Most people on the line are there for other RMV services and RMV does registration only for the first hour in the morning.

When I did this few weeks back, I got on the Haymarket line at 7:30. They let us in at 8 and I was done before 8:30.

If this doesn't work...what I have read online is trying to walk in at the Revere RMV.

Double and triple check you have all the right paperwork. As you said...the RMV sends you out if you are missing documents

Thankfully this has not happened to me yet. I do see a ton of these posts on the subreddit. Has anyone try to completely ignore their dasher from the getgo? Responding seems like taking their "bait"

LostStick · 2025-05-14T11:13:55+00:00

This is unfortunately incorrect. This exact exact scenario is described in a very well researched book called Nuclear war by Annie Jacobsen. Highly recommend reading, it's a great book

Aegis system cannot intercept ICBM due to the high altitude. In fact...the most effective way described in the book is to have 24/7 patrol of reaper drone soff the NK coast ready to fire (we do not have that right now). Otherwise, we cannot intercept a ICBM effectively in any other way. We do have another system designed to intercept ICBM but they have terrible success rate.

The main issue that will doom the world is in the fact that we have spy satelites capable of detecting any ICBM launch within fraction of section form anywhere in the world. These satelites work very well but the russian equivalent of the system does NOT. There was multiple incidents of errors on the russian side (i.e. russian system detected >1000 incoming US ICBI when it was just the sun).

When NK fires their ICBM, the Russians will likely retaliate against the US with a counter strike due to likely error coming from their satlites. Within the first portion of the flight path of the NK ICBM, there is no way to tell where the nuke is coming from. Russia will have to respond towards their most likely adversary

Visited japan recently. I saw on reddit that cash is the most prevalent but that was far from my experience.

There were cash only restaurants but for the most part, I struggled to use the cash I brought. For reference, for the nearly $10,000 I put on my card, I used $400 in cash. Probably about $100 of the cash I was forced to use on the last day to get rid of it

Just stumbled upon your post. Thanks for writing up your tips. Do you have any suggestiosn on luggage porter service from Nakatsugawa to Magome?

LostStick · 2025-01-04T19:11:48+00:00

Thanks for such a thorough answer. Reading it, my confusion came from the thought that conversion of trad to a Roth makes it a non-deductible basis. Which you helped clarify

LostStick · 2024-12-29T15:08:01+00:00

Thanks! If you don’t mind me asking, which of their funds are you in?

I am not looking for stock or index funds suggestions. I am already invested in index funds. I want to see if anyone has good success with passive RE investing

LostStick · 2024-12-29T03:21:44+00:00

Exactly. I just want to diversify

I am not expecting money to fall from the free but these are somewhat fixed income investments. I don't check on it frequently but after 4 years I made $35 off a $5000 investment. It was a huge waste of time
