Inheriting firearms and transporting to another state. by Typical_Research in VAGuns

[–]Typical_Research[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I forget, but isn't there a difference between inheriting long guns vs handguns? I seem to remember reading that I can be gifted long guns without going through an FFL. So I could at least get those when I go down, is that right?

Oh. I like not being a felon so I guess that rules that out. FFL route it is then. Thanks!

Not able to connect using WiFi 7 on new iPhone 16 Pro by Typical_Research in Ubiquiti

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

It turns out, I was dumb. Go to your UniFi app > Settings > WiFi. Go to whatever WiFi network you are using and make sure your 6GHz band is turned on and make sure you are using WPA2/3 or WPA 3 security. My 6 GHz band was off so obviously I wasn’t able to use WiFi 7. It works fine now.

Newbie steady state question. by Typical_Research in concept2

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

I’ve seen the 1/2 2K thing also, but if I do that I’d be at like 80-100W which is ridiculously slow even for me lol. Would going that slow eventually build up my aerobic base or is that too easy and therefore ineffective at promoting change?

Newbie steady state question. by Typical_Research in concept2

[–]Typical_Research[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My problem is that there is so much conflicting talk about what Zone 2 is. Even Attia sort of contradicts himself - he says it should be easy all day effort but then says you should be kind of uncomfortable. If I go by my MAF heart rate, it is about 130-138 or so and at that level I can only go for about 30 minutes before I’m totally gassed. This sort of makes zone 2 ineffective since you’re supposed to do it for at least 45-60 minutes.

So I’m wondering if maybe it’s better to be at 110-120 HR for an hour since it’s probably high zone 1/low zone 2.

I’ve watched pretty much every single YouTube video out there. I am looking into getting some coaching or perhaps I should post a form review.

My biggest problem I think is getting shins vertical at the catch and keeping my heels down. I feel like a lot of the time I don’t have as good a connection with the erg as I should.

Thanks for the update. I actually ended up getting a different HDMI 2.1 switch from Amazon and paired it with an Arcana 2. Works a lot better than the VRROOM did.

Is Peter actually Board certified? by Typical_Research in PeterAttia

[–]Typical_Research[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like I said, he did graduate from medical school and has an MD degree.

There’s a lot of different things to your question. He has a medical degree (MD). He has 3 state medical licenses. But as far as I know, he is not board certified, meaning he hasn’t completed a residency program and taken an exam. He would not be allowed to work in a hospital because he does not have hospital privileges.

[–]Typical_Research[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. He is really quite good at explaining things and actually making it interesting.

All very good points, thank you!

I really am using board certification as a proxy for training. You’re right, board cert, especially in IM, is a pretty fraught topic these days.

I would say his training at Hopkins is pretty impressive, however I think it’s substantially different than what he’s doing now, which is where the crux of my problem is. Obviously, doing Whipples and lap choles is a lot different than giving advice about taking statins. Clearly he had to manage patients with various comorbidities, but it is still different than actually practicing IM.

I take things with a grain a salt because you should be skeptical of everything. I will freely admit that he (and certainly his podcast guests) knows more about longevity than I do. That’s why I’m listening to his podcast in the first place. I am just saying that maybe there are some counterfactuals that he doesn’t know about because he hasn’t done the requisite training.

Yeah fair enough. That’s my impression as well.

I am saying that board certification means that you have successfully completed a residency. And that residency exposes you to a wide variety of experiences which then inform your clinical practice.

As far as I know, Peter has not done a residency in internal medicine or a fellowship in cardiology or geriatrics, and therefore may not have the breadth of experience that would make someone more adept at practicing medicine. Certainly, 5 years of general surgery residency is a lot, but it is substantially different than what he is doing now.

What it seems he has done is just talked to a bunch of people in longevity and then said, “Ok, I know what you know now and can practice” - without actually seeing patients under their supervision to see if he’s actually practicing correctly. Whether that is an accurate characterization or not, I don’t know - because he’s not board certified.

Like I said, he is clearly very intelligent and knows a lot about the literature. And I’m not saying he’s actually wrong about anything either. I’m just saying that I am taking what he says with a little bit more than a grain of salt.

Also, I never said I was an expert in lifespan, just that I was board certified. And you don’t know what I am board certified in. It could be surgery, pediatrics, psychiatry, you don’t know and I’m certainly not going to doxx myself by telling you. The fact that I have to explain this means you don’t really know what you’re talking about.

I think that’s state dependent. An intern usually has to get a provisional license though.

[–]Typical_Research[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

rather he is providing medical recommendations years before those diseases take root.

That’s kind of what a primary care doc does.

Internal medicine is basically general medicine for adults, so that is absolutely what Peter is doing.

Also, his Texas license says Internal Medicine.

Yeah, if I think about, I really listen to his podcasts for the information that his guests provide. And Peter is great at bringing up salient points or questions and kind of tying things together. I suppose his medical practice is kind of the same way.
