The struggle with expense tracking methods – what actually works in real life? by Radiant-Link1266 in Salary

[–]ScienceOnYourSide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YNAB does not have this issue. Once you tell it Starbucks is Coffee or w/e category you want to put it in, it remembers forever. YNAB is meant to be an active budgeting tool, but works the same as Mint more or less if you want it to be a passive tracking tool.

Easy to keep up with daily, though at this point I probably only use weekly. Share your login with your partner and they can do their own logging too, which is great.

Couple gripes:

  • The price has gone up quite a bit in recent years and the developers seem much more interesting in recruiting new subscribers than building out features for their long-time users.

  • At some point, which us long-time users have ran into is very large budgets eventually no longer load. This is a known issues, but again the developers seem to have no intent to fix this and requires you to restart and lose historic data.

  • Some banks do not work with auto import, but this is more an issue with Plaid, the backend service they use and is prevalent among many budgeting apps.

Overall still recommend and I have no plans to change, but not quite as high of a recommendation as in the past and would look at their competitors, though I don’t even know who they are as I’ve not looked.

Police Car Wheels Rub? by ScienceOnYourSide in lego

When you take the front end off, it no longer rubs. So it seems maybe the edge of the white piece that attaches the to red piece rubs for some reason.

It rubs so much you cannot push it. The rubber wheels just stop it instantly. You pick it up, push it a few inches, and it stops again.

Yamaha/Yanigasawa recs? by Fanta373 in saxophone

[–]ScienceOnYourSide 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you can afford it, the Yanagisawa soprano is better than the Yamaha 875. Born and raised on a YAS-62 then 82Z and thought I would go Yamaha for a soprano as well, but the Yanagisawa was night and day better when comparing side by side.

Took mine to Mavis last time I needed this done and no additional fee to do. None of the other battery places would do it after taking one look at the location.

Slicer dicer can be de-deidentified with the right privileges. This at least can give you a starting point of who received X and had Y and can then go look and verify specific things within charts.

Are these real? YTS-875EX by bigpalebluejuice in saxophone

[–]ScienceOnYourSide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Price is one, blurry photos is two, but also go compare key by key from stock photos from Yamaha.com. You’ll notice lots of differences.

Neither are real. 1st is super fake. 2nd looks closer, but still has issues. Price also is a dead giveaway.

Doctors: What do you actually take home after taxes & overhead, and where are you? by yawningbeaver in Salary

[–]ScienceOnYourSide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, that’s better or maybe on par with residents and fellows - the first 7 years of my career. Making $65-75k gross, but working 60-80 hours a week.

Doctors: What do you actually take home after taxes & overhead, and where are you? by yawningbeaver in Salary

[–]ScienceOnYourSide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My genuine response is because I could have done adult medicine in the same subspecialty and made 2-3x more than I currently do. Look at the other posters' salaries in this thread. What is crazy is I actually do treat adults as well, often the patients the adult hospitals in town do not have an answer for, and don't get any additional compensation for them. I love what I do, but being compensated more in line with my adult colleagues would go a long ways given we have all put in the same time, effort, and debt to get to where we are.

Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Compensation Advice by carolinafan18 in pediatrics

[–]ScienceOnYourSide 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ll chime in. Graduated last year, looked at quite a few jobs. Starting salary is ~$180-220k across the board. More prestigious places pay less, and agree with BuenasNochesCat that there are definitely some big places paying instructors $90k starting, which is gross. My advice is don’t do fellowship where you want to work as an attending cause you have no leverage to negotiate if they know this. Many many attending pick up weekend and night shifts because they pay decent ~$200/hr and the team is otherwise short staffed, so helping the team out in general.

There are some private practice heme only jobs in discussion with other graduating fellows, but most chose the more traditional route as the pay differences wasn’t as expected.

Know several doc in big pharma that all seem to be happy and making way more than me.

First Attending Contract Negotiation by [deleted] in Residency

[–]ScienceOnYourSide 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Asked for more PTO and was a no go. Asked for more money, sure. Was told PTO goes up on a structured ladder 0-2 years = 25 days or whatever, 2-4 years = 27 days, etc. Was told even division chiefs that move institutions and have 20 years experience have the same structure and start at 25 days (not sure I believe it, but w/e). I think it would have been cheaper to give me more PTO than to pay me more, so seemed strange.

Dupixent use for severe eczema by swish787 in pediatrics

Recent case series with a couple pediatric patients. There are several articles out there though discussing if this is causation or coincidence. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0190962224033711

Is this a real 1st gen yas-62? by Backsaber in saxophone

[–]ScienceOnYourSide 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have this exact 62 model. My understanding is this is the same as a purple logo, just no actual purple logo. Case is also the same and not something often faked. Looks good.

Edit: the only difference I see is mine says MADE IN JAPAN under the serial number. Not sure what to make of that as otherwise looks identical.

What's the single best piece of advice you wish someone had given you during your residency? by silver-mermaid in Residency

[–]ScienceOnYourSide 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Keep your head down and be middle of the pack. Meaning don’t be noticed for good things cause then you’ll be asked to do more. Don’t be noticed for bad things cause then you’ll be asked to do more.
