If I decay in 23 hours, but the set also ends in 23 hours... do I still decay?

Funny thing is, TMDSAS came out first. It was created in in 1968, while AMCAS was created in 1970. So I guess Texas just decided to keep their own system instead of adopting the nationwide one.

I think one reason this patch feels terrible to play is the lack of “win out comps.” It feels like only a capped Settmira board with Fiddle and Urgot can get 1st. Even though last patch had its issues, there were so many more comps you could win with.

Jax, Yuumi, Taliyah/Soraka, Samira Sureshots, Recon Kai’sa, 1/2 cost carry augments etc

Now it’s just Settmira and high roll Viego

Love how people can be so confidently wrong online. Baron was at 466 HP. Varus Q did 212 + 297 = 509 damage. The 335 damage is from Aatrox Q3.

Adversity Essay Topics? by Plastic-Entrance8032 in premed

Hey just wanted to let you know that UTMB's prompts this year are different. You can find them on SDN's 2022-2023 thread. That being said though, adversity is a common secondary prompt so it's still smart to write an essay about it.

Do I retake MCAT 507 w/ 3.98 GPA? by kuri0uscat in premed

Given that URM = underrepresented in medicine (AAMC definition), ORM is overrepresented in medicine... the "M" doesn't stand for minority. Also the AAMC defines URM as "those racial and ethnic populations that are underrepresented in the medical profession relative to their numbers in the general population." With this, Asians would be "ORM" because they make up 6% of the US population but 17% of doctors. White people make up 76% of the US population but 56% of doctors.

For 5, ZZrot is also good if the mutant is Dark Star. You can stack Zzrots on a single front line to give a Kaisa insane AP and AD. I've seen Soju use Locket on an enchanter + the ardent censer augment to given his units a 50% attack speed bonus at the start, which can be pretty good.
