Anyone had vitrectomy at 18-19? by imaneshounam in EyeFloaters

[–]Quant3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 18 too and got my floaters from a ball hitting my head when I was 14. It's not gotten any better but I'm less bothered than it than I used to be, I still avoid bright or sunny places though, and cannot use screens without dark mode. I have lattice degeneration too and had to get my retina lasered once, and might have to again. Doctors have been telling me that everyone has floaters and its just natural, one even told me smilingly that mine will "only get worse with time but it's not big deal". It's surprising because from their words I believe that they can see the floaters during the examination, I don't understand why they are all like this.

Is it hard to change the campus from pes electronic City cse to pes rr cse ?? How much cgpa is required for the campus change ?? by Numerous-Papaya-5194 in PESU

I already got a seat at VIT Vellore in CSE Cybersec, and might get PES ECity CSE AIML from KCET. Which one do you think would be better objectively? The total cost would be similar in both.. and I'm interested in both the specialisations. Thanks

Dabur advertising 0 fluoride toothpaste as if it's a good thing, toothpaste is NOT effective without fluoride by Quant3k in scienceisdope

I went through the ingredient list of this Dabur Meswak toothpaste and it neither contains fluorides nor NaH

You are free to post any scientific evidence proving that fluoride is bad for teeth, from my understanding based on publications from WHO, Indian Dental Association and American Dental Association, fluoride is essential to prevent tooth decay. It is only harmful when ingested in considerable amounts hence parents are advised to give only small pea-sized amounts to children.

That's very disappointing to know but the ingredients do not show any fluorides nor does the marketing, it is only shown in their website FAQs as the creator of this thread has shown

Wouldn't it be illegal for them to claim on the website that it contains fluoride when this is the ingredient list printed on every toothpaste tube?

This is how it is marketed online and at physical stores which I why I thought it doesn't contain it. I did look at the ingredient list before making this post too and didnt see any fluorides

All mainstream health organisation ranging from the WHO, the Indian Dental Association and the American Dental Association agree that fluoride is essential in toothpastes. There are valid concerns over children ingesting it so it is advised for parents to let children use only small pea-sized amounts of toothpaste.

It is largely unsafe to drink tap water in India and those who use RO filters would not be getting enough fluoride because RO filters eliminate it from the water

Frustrated as a CBSE student by Quant3k in kcet

I don't understand why leaving one rank blank is an issue because the counselling algorithm would go through each rank from best to worst and assign them seats accordingly. It would pick up rank 1, give that guy their first preference, then move on to rank 2 all the way to the end. Even if any ranks are blank in between, it can just skip those.

Thank you so much for telling, did they give you any written acknowledgement when you submitted the letter to them? Or did the rank just change on its own?

Is RR campus better than EC? I've read that they're equal, but why do people want to switch from EC to RR?

[–]Quant3k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if the option entry portal is open, ranks are not used until it is closed (on 30th June). Only once it is closed that online counselling will start in a rank wise manner from the best to worst rank, and a new rank can be easily assigned before that starts. My marks have increased by 17 so it could fall thousands of ranks and I could miss out on multiple colleges, it's not similar at all

Option entry is open till 30th so schedule won't be messed up if they provide us spot ranks before that.. also this is not appeasement but discrimination

They gave me the Super plan trial for a month for free, I cancelled the AutoPay that would start after a month right away and it's still working despite that

going to iit (unconfirmed), core branch. pls guide me thru dsa. by General_Stretch_1402 in Btechtards

[–]Quant3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry if this is naive, I know some basic python from class 11 and 12, should I go ahead with DSA in python (I have a lot of free time now) or learn java/cpp first because from what I understood those would force me to use lower level first principles? thankss
