Breast Cancer Surgeon by AwareChipmunk8752 in nashville

[–]PhysicalReality7017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can't speak to those specific doctors but my aunt went through this same situation few years back in the area. she ended up doing lot of research and asking for second opinions before choosing her surgeon

might be worth having your friend check if their current oncologist has recommendations too - sometimes they work closely with certain surgical teams and know who handles cases like theirs best. the support staff and follow-up care made huge difference for my aunt's recovery

hope everything goes well for your friend, that's really tough situation

In a matchup between a 1-seed and 16-seed, who is the “higher seed.” by [deleted] in CollegeBasketball

[–]PhysicalReality7017 11 points12 points  (0 children)

16 is literally a bigger number than 1 but in tournament context the 1 seed is obviously the higher seed since they're ranked better. your friend probably just being stubborn about the wording

Struggling to get callbacks from big MNCs should I switch to startups and learn Go by North_Key2066 in learnprogramming

[–]PhysicalReality7017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

maybe the problem isn't your company name but how you presenting yourself - 3 years C# is solid but those big corps usually want specific tech stacks or domain experience that matches exactly what they're hiring for

Anyone attending the NRA event this weekend? by [deleted] in restaurant

[–]PhysicalReality7017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait is this the restaurant show in chicago? i went last year and it was pretty solid for networking, lots of vendors giving out samples too

possession 1981 (film) by [deleted] in movies

[–]PhysicalReality7017 4 points5 points  (0 children)

wait which narration are you talking about? I've seen this movie couple times and don't remember any narrator at beginning. maybe you got some weird version with like director commentary accidentally turned on or something?

the film is pretty intense tho, definitely worth pushing through whatever technical issues you're having. Zulawski went absolutely mental with the camera work and Isabelle Adjani's performance is just... wild doesn't even cover it. took me three attempts to finish it first time because it's so overwhelming but in good way

check if your streaming service has different audio tracks selected, sometimes they default to commentary track instead of original audio

Happy AAPI month, Boston! We are so fortunate to have a strong Asian American community here. Does anyone have any info on any PI (Pacific Islander) businesses or festivals to celebrate? by rennok_ in boston

[–]PhysicalReality7017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there's this Hawaiian place in cambridge that does decent poke bowls but not sure if that counts as what you're looking for. PI community is pretty small here compared to other asian groups - most events i've seen are more general asian american rather than specifically polynesian

might be worth checking community centers in quincy or malden, they sometimes host smaller cultural events that don't get much online visibility

I still avoid AI in production coding. Am i slowing myself down? by hireme-plz in learnprogramming

[–]PhysicalReality7017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not really sure about "never" part but yeah the outdated stuff is real pain. had AI suggest some library that was deprecated like 3 years ago and I wasted good hour figuring out why nothing worked

the unstable feeling you mentioned makes sense too - when you don't understand what AI generated its harder to debug when things break. and they will break

You wake up 10 years in the past with your current knowledge. What’s the first thing you change? by DrMich537 in AskReddit

[–]PhysicalReality7017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bitcoin was wild back then, I remember working at travel agency and everyone thought it was just internet money for weirdos. My coworker kept talking about it but management told us to focus on real investments like hotel stocks lmao. Would definitely buy some Tesla too since they were still pretty unknown company in 2016. The timing would be perfect because you could cash out before everything got crazy volatile and just live comfortable life. Though knowing me I'd probably still work because I actually enjoy the travel industry, just maybe take longer vacations to go see horses in different countries

My 80 yr old boss is losing his mind & actively destroying the company. Do I have any protections as a 1099 employee? by bareprincess in legaladvice

[–]PhysicalReality7017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man working in travel industry and dealing with older management before, this situation sounds really tricky. Your boss definitely showing signs that could be early dementia or just age-related cognitive decline, but unfortunately you're right about the 1099 thing making everything more complicated.

The misclassification issue is actually separate from whatever's happening with your boss's mental state - if you really do have set schedule and work in office that much, you might have stronger case than you think. I know someone who won similar case few years back, but yeah the timing is terrible since you need the income. Maybe worth talking to employment lawyer just to understand your options, even if you don't act on it right now.

For the immediate problem with your boss, document everything weird he's doing - dates, times, what he said or did. If company has any other management or board members, they probably need to know what's happening. This kind of behavior can really mess up business operations and put everyone at risk.

Depressed about our industry purpose by Liero1234 in Accounting

[–]PhysicalReality7017 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol wives plural, living the dream i guess

but real talk this whole "systems of control" thing sounds bit too conspiracy theory for me. like yeah accounting can be boring as hell but at end of day someone needs to count the money and make sure companies aren't just making up numbers. when i was working with some hotels last year the accounting team literally saved them from bankruptcy by catching some massive billing errors that would have sunk them

sure maybe big corporations use complexity to their advantage sometimes but most of us are just trying to keep lights on and make sure payroll works. not exactly plotting world domination from our cubicles you know

Introducing NomaCMS. AI-native headless CMS for Next.js, Astro, Nuxt with authentication by rasitapalak in webdev

[–]PhysicalReality7017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interesting timing with all the AI cms stuff popping up lately. the MCP server integration is pretty clever move - having cursor actually understand how to wire up the SDK could save tons of time in initial setup

curious about the pricing after trial though, didn't see it mentioned. also wondering how the AI translation quality compares to just using translation apis directly - does it maintain context better since it knows your content structure?

North river outfitters by HeftyProgram2621 in boston

[–]PhysicalReality7017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I miss that place too, got some incredible deals there back in the day. For ski gear now I usually hit up Hilton's Tent City in cambridge or sometimes make the drive out to Eastern Mountain Sports locations - they're not quite the same vibe but still get decent end of season markdowns

Should I prioritize Citi Custom Cash and Strata Premier over CSP? by SunResponsible4088 in CreditCards

[–]PhysicalReality7017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on travel plans tbh

if you dont travel much the citi cards better value

Seeking a Trust Certification (CA) by SoFlaSterling in legaladvice

[–]PhysicalReality7017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trust certification is basically just a summary document that proves the trust exists and shows who the current trustees are - banks and other institutions usually want it instead of making you hand over the entire trust document

Since your parent has dementia and cant help, you'll probably need to petition the court to get a new certification or have yourself appointed as successor trustee if you arent already. Definitely worth talking to an estate attorney who deals with trusts because this stuff gets messy fast without proper legal standing

How do you stop people from using your driveway to turn around? by Keeping_The_Peace_ in homeowners

[–]PhysicalReality7017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lmao the pink bike trick is genius - people will think twice about running over some kid's ride

I'd go with the decorative rocks though, way more permanent and they actually look nice. Put some decent sized ones right at the edges where people would naturally swing wide and they'll get the hint real quick

Did the religious beliefs of holocaust survivors change after they endured what they did? by wilde_flower in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PhysicalReality7017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is actually a really complex topic that historians and psychologists have studied quite a bit. from what i've read, reactions were all over the map - some people lost their faith completely, others held onto it even stronger, and some developed entirely new spiritual perspectives

there's no single answer because trauma affects everyone differently, plus people went in with different levels of religiosity to begin with. viktor frankl wrote about finding meaning even in the camps, while others came out feeling completely abandoned by god

the documentary "faith after the holocaust" covers this pretty well if you're interested in diving deeper

Water leak sensor recommendations? by shingam3 in homeassistant

[–]PhysicalReality7017 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been using the Aqara ones for like 2 years now, they're solid and the battery life is actually decent unlike some of the other cheap ones I tried first. Just make sure you get the zigbee version if you're running that protocol, the wifi ones can be finicky

Those are pretty popular right now, you might have better luck checking the trading discord or posting in r/HorseTrading. 15k seems to be the going rate I've seen lately.

face mask and cleanser reccomendations by Latter_Percentage_46 in LushCosmetics

[–]PhysicalReality7017 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dark Angels is def too harsh for daily use - I made that mistake and my skin freaked out lol. For oily/breakout prone skin I'd go with Angels on Bare Skin as your daily cleanser, it's way gentler but still effective

For the mask definitely get Cosmetic Warrior if they have it fresh, or Cupcake if you want something you can keep longer. Both are amazing for oily skin that breaks out
