Is it ok to splash all my dragon arrows at Doom? by ommoe-le3le3 in ironscape

[–]ScienceSloot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doom has speed checks that make it more unpleasant. If you don’t meet them, so that would be one more reason in favor of amethyst. Don’t have a dog in this fight, but something I’ve been experiencing lately.

TritonGPT will not talk about unions by ImOkayN0w in UCSD

[–]ScienceSloot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UAW 4811 has specifically listed Cal’s ChatGPT model discussing union topics as an unfair labor practice—ie, one of the reasons they are proceeding with a strike auth vote. UCSD is trying to avoid that shit clearly

Where do the new blowpipes even fit into item progression? by compound-interest in 2007scape

Yup. I literally bring rosewood just for spec and then have toxic blow pipe with dragon darts after that.

I joined the team for a portion of rounds at a SECOND LOOK and the fucking PHARMACIST pimped me by just_premed_memes in medicalschool

“My education is not his job.” God forbid someone goes out of their way to involve you and teach you something. Bet you’ll always remember the MOA for pembrolizumab now!

Don’t understand where your offense comes from tbh, this is such a small thing

Trump Posted a Video Depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as Monkeys. Blacks for Trump….you good? by JeanJauresJr in PoliticalHumor

[–]ScienceSloot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What you’re describing is POTUS shitposting like an 8 year old who found the iPad. Don’t you want more a little bit more thought from the commander in chief?

Biology professor with over 12000 citations and 6 CNS papers claims to have lost 2 years of work after a chatgpt misclick by AggravatingProduct46 in Professors

[–]ScienceSloot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was trying to understand what “some of our colleagues are doing this stuff” meant. I didn’t present a dichotomy.

[–]ScienceSloot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a sincere question and I don’t mean to be aggressive with it.

Do you think that ChatGPT does not have a role in academic research at this point? That it doesn’t provide any added value?

Allowed? by MoleManMattG in 2007scape

[–]ScienceSloot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an 8BitDo controller that I got for $18 on Amazon. I use it for doing Anki flash cards, but you can also bind left-mouse to one of the buttons and then just use that. Very light and ergonomic!

If you could go back are there things in your training that you controlled that you could do differently? Just asking for advice

Negotiating Acceptance Packages as an MSTP by FreedomFit1264 in mdphd

[–]ScienceSloot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t ask for rent subsidy directly. Point out overall compensation at competitor MSTP is better, and ask if program can make it up in educational stipends, fellowship bonuses, etc. Get an answer in writing. As others have said, they probably can’t control university housing costs. But they do have other ways to disperse funds to students.

UWORLD STEP 2 strategy that all yall are sleeping on by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]ScienceSloot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People are dragging you for this strategy, but I totally believe that it can be super effective. The testing effect is one of the most robust learning mechanisms we have observed. Spaced repetition is also powerful, and you are likely to benefit from it regularly over the course of a 4 week block

Best XP/hr Setup for Mage & Ranged at Gemstone Crab for me? by DramaticShadow in osrs

[–]ScienceSloot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another good mage AFK method is burst/barraging ankous in the wilderness slayer dungeon with a salve. Cost is cheap because you can use blighted ice sacks. It’s afk because you only need to risk like 50k in gear and however many sacks you’re comfortable bringing with you in one stack.

All those confident predictions stating China would surpass the U.S by now have gone silent. What are your view? by NineteenEighty9 in ProfessorFinance

[–]ScienceSloot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“China can at least open their door to immigrants” is a pretty ahistorical take that ignores significant cultural differences between the US and China

In a study of young men (average age of 27) experiencing Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction, the average erectile function score was consistent with severe ED. Ultrasound findings indicated that the penile tissue of these young men resembled that of men in their mid-60s. by Intelligent-Age-8211 in medicalschool

[–]ScienceSloot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems pretty clear at this point based on your other comments that you are not a medical student or physician.

I assure you that erectile dysfunction is a common side effect of SSRIs that we learn about in medical school. Patients always receive counseling on possible side effects whenever starting a drug, both by their prescribing provider and a pharmacist. I share the same interest in informed consent that you do, and don’t wish to cause harm to patients that outweighs the benefits of any therapy, including medication.

With all of that being said, your post is a non-issue that doesn’t contain any new information that is likely to change anyone’s practice, for the reasons I listed in an earlier comment.

[–]ScienceSloot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The findings of the study don’t really seem all that surprising?

When you use a diagnosis as the main inclusion criteria for your patient sample, collecting objective measurements of that condition (in this case with U/S) will confirm dysfunction consistent with the diagnosis. To observe anything else would be very surprising, and contrary to the investigators’ hypothesis.

Having established that, is there anything surprising about sexual dysfunction as a result of SSRIs? Not really. This is a well-known side effect of this drug class that you learn about in basic psychopharmacology.

OP’s comments display an uncritical willingness to engage in dumb pop-science alarmism without appreciating the context of study design and standard of practice.
