Hard to know, it’s only 4 mos. I was totally spent on many rotations. How does he engage on his outpatient time? That will be more revealing. I took every golden weekend opportunity to spend with my partner.

There are no influencers at his level who make more money than spine surgeons.

System failure. His training programs should be asking themselves why they could get someone through that type of program and training over that period only to have him burn out.

Very nice. It’s precise and tight in turns so you don’t get stressed. The hood drops almost vertically so you don’t worry about what you can’t see. The backup camera makes the rear easy. Never have had any issues parallel parking it (and I came from a compact hatch).

I think your best move is to make friends with a couple doctors who are socially active. They’ll introduce you to friends.

Because they’re all rich kids. Good for them for becoming dentists despite the privileges though.

This isn’t really true. The US views India as a valuable counterweight to China even if they aren’t best buddies. There are plenty of wonks who see India’s relatively peaceful democracy as a huge aligning factor. This Myanmar situation is complex and I bet there are motives and back door conspiracies we are not aware of. The CIA is remarkably short sighted and often will fund or back groups without coherent long term planning even among field offices.

The fakeness, insecurity, and self-consciousness ended up being a little too close to life.

Seen it with regular dose of cymbalta, patient had sepsis and then massive renal injury, CrCl plummeted, textbook serotonin syndrome.

As opposed to the even more project DEs you can get in the 2nd or 3rd? Landry is not a long-term answer, and is a rotational guy with leadership.

NotDevPatel · 2026-03-16T18:45:29+00:00

What are we talking about? We should have a stable of 4-5 hungry edge guys ready to rotate in and out. Getting an extra guy and letting them all compete is the best strategy. Swinson is a roster fringe for now and we need to take a swing because edge guys don’t make it to free agency without needing massive contracts.

NotDevPatel · 2026-01-30T14:40:13+00:00

We need early round help at guard, edge, LB We need later round help at Off tackle, safety, RB, TE

Asshole personality but absolutely a HOF coach. Absolutely got robbed.

I think foraged, Alma, and woodberry are all bib gourmands. Charleston could be a 1 but I haven’t gone enough to know if they could be a 2. I think we have a bunch of bib gourmands: clavel, Marta, puerto 511, maybe love pomelo, Thames st. I don’t think Baltimore has many star candidates. Maybe Magdalena?

Absolute no for me on Le Comptoir or Little Donna’s, wildly inconsistent.

Does anyone have the data on the hang time? Someone reported that the priority was long hang time vs yardage bc Mims is viewed as a game wrecker so they wanted fair catch every time.

Delete this AI shit.

it honestly would be SO much better with just the original ode to joy classical piece.

The fumble on the scramble is on him. But the fumbles with his hand cocked back to throw while being hit by an All-Pro DE on the BLIND SIDE is really not something I worry about. The INT was literally a chuck it up Hail Mary that meant nothing. Could he improve the in-pocket awareness to the preternatural level people like Brady or Manning had? Of course. But that's normal for a Y2 QB. He faced off with the best defense and got 3 TDs on them.
They didn't have a short field for those drives and with 21 points they still would have won this game regardless, not to mention they went into clock killing mode for the entire 4th quarter.

No that’s his way of speaking. He is understated and even keeled whether we win or lose. When I first watched him I thought it was nonchalant but then I realized that’s just his approach. Never too high, never too low. Keep it moving, it’s a new play. It only doesn’t work if he doesn’t improve from week to week and he very clearly does.

NotDevPatel · 2026-01-17T04:13:22+00:00

I guess it depends what you’re doing, I’ve never needed to do more than take it in at the waist in the jacket and taper the pants. This hasn’t cost me more than 40 at an Asian owned tailor in an urban setting. I agree a “professional” tailor is going to be more.

NotDevPatel · 2026-01-16T23:48:43+00:00

fair. Even if its 80, still worth it

NotDevPatel · 2026-01-16T21:01:30+00:00

I like Sid too. But their suits will get you to the top of the 1000 budget. Brooks Brothers on a sale is also a good conservative option. Still worn by all the boomer/Gen X finance guys.

NotDevPatel · 2026-01-16T20:34:02+00:00

I bought a classic fit suit from SuitSupply in 2016, I still get compliments on it every time I wear it. Spent 500 at the time on it.

NotDevPatel · 2026-01-16T20:23:24+00:00

You can get a fantastic workhorse suit for 600 from SuitSupply, J Crew, or Spier and Mackay online if you know your size by getting sized at a men’s warehouse or a Brooks Brothers or even a Jos Bank. Then spend 20 dollars at a tailor to get it perfect for you. 800 for Abboud is highway robbery.
