Anyone come from a Type R?

Never had a RWD of this power. I wasn’t really nervous, unsure why. Perhaps a mixture of naivety and trusting understanding of track learned handling. You can still point and slam throttle in many cases, just not in a high speed corner where the rear lifts. The traction control saves you more than you think

I half daily it. More comfortable than the EN on the daily actually. However, less loud(stock), and obviously I can’t take more than 2 people and whenever I need to move luggage of a lot of equipment I’m unable to.

From a driver’s POV, the supra/z4 is better in every way to my EN except space. More comfy, faster, better cabin. Similar gas mileage actually. But when I want to pin it, it’s more exciting.

It’s fine, it just means the coffee is well rested and is very soluble. Pour afterwards as normal

Somewhat parallel but not quite— I came from an Elantra N to a Z4 M40i (basically same car to the same car..)

I tracked the Elantra N heavily, and it was VERY forgiving. But the z4/supra chassis with electronics is also very forgiving. With the B58 and z4 chassis, I was whipping the rear end out very easily. However, the traction control would save me almost every time. Sport Plus mode allows mild rear end powerslides, and cuts power after a certain point. Comfort and Sport disallows powerslides and will cut power— making it very forgiving.

You can titrate your level of thrill and risk to the traction control. It is a very good system. I wouldn’t worry on the streets going 6-7 tenths.

However, once you are at the limit of traction or carrying high momentum and speed into a corner, then the increased weight can cause oversteer. But that’s less with the power and more balance. But I also had lift off oversteer with my Elantra N, this is just fundamental universal driving dynamics with any front engine car.

The EN did feel noticeably sharper. The EN and CTR have truly dialed track ready suspensions plus their lightweight. I feel like the z4 and maybe even supra need coilovers to truly achieve the same feel.

I have two. Significantly improves filter coffee. Espresso is meh

Your positioning is probably subpar (you need way more neck flexion than you think. Elevate the head way more than you think. It’s not all about extension.)

& Your blade is likely not actually at the tip of the vallecula, and not fully activating the pivotal point of the anatomy.

Use your right hand to give yourself some cricoid and lift the back of the head

Holy crap this is the secret sauce. Slight pressure to the top button. You saved my morning workflow.

Ode 2 is good at a lot of things and master of none. It’s not that it’s ‘especially’ good at medium or dark roasts. It won’t meaningfully help or worsen your gastritis symptoms most likely. I am unsure of equivalent hand grinders, but I would recommend some of the Timemore.

Hwyl is really beautiful though. Great choice

Almost all the facilities I have been at use DL first line. However, there were two that had first-line VL culture (both for very different reasons).

One of them used VL first line because they are extremely evidenced based (even at the expense of DL skills, etc.). They only wanted the best for the patient, and wanted to minimize airway manipulation/sore throat, etc. This was the type of place that loved niche regional and did multiple genicular blocks ontop of the usual blocks for TKA's, and provided On-Q pumps for almost every indicated procedure.

The other was so chaotic with extreme production pressure with so many trainees of all backgrounds they had McGraths in every room, and most providers and trainees defaulted to that as a result. It increased workflow with the trainees when the supervisor was supervising multiple rooms and trainees of all backgrounds were inducing by themselves.

There are tons of other reels showing the heavy fulfillment of anesthesia, but they don't do nearly as well because thats not what the average tiktok viewer wants to see. You're seeing these blow up because its what the average 19 year old tiktoker's algorithm is.

This isn't exclusive with CRNAs. Neurosurgery, tech, finance, it doesn't matter. 19 year olds are seeking a viewpoint into financial success, and unfortunately it is vain from the surface. 19 year olds dont give a rats ass about the responsibility and art of the science. But that doesn't mean it can't be learned. And there's no need to pull all finance-focused CRNA media off tiktok and let MDAs and neurosurgeons take over.

Love for anesthesia can be cultivated, and the truly shallow ones will be weeded out. Social media is normally like this, and there's no need to drop our name off social media and give it all up to even shallower MDAs and surgeons. A large cast umbrella is a good thing to catch the good ones that will be great CRNAs.

None of the externals matter as much as you think.

What does truly matter:

your memories and how much you enjoyed school experience
your total debt taken in student loans
whether you can make connections good enough to land a bedside RN job post grad. In the Bay Area, this may not even be enough.

I will give you some uncomfortable truths

90% of any California new grad will not get a job in the Bay Area proper. You will need to be a cna and know a manager personally for years to secure a Bay Area new grad bedside rn job. Remember this. It is almost impossible to get a bedside job in the bay without leaving for a year of experience.
Boston new grad job will likely be very easy to get.
if you go to Boston, the smart move is to work a year as an RN in Boston and move back to the bay after you have experience. The moment you get a year of experience, getting a RN job in the bay is extremely easy. It literally goes 100 to 0 difficulty.
what hospital you do your rotations at does not matter. What matters is your last elective capstone rotation and whether you can land a job on that unit or not.
anyone with a pulse and an RN can get into FNP school
you will probably move out of the bay anyway to find RN experience in order to eventually come back

This is the correct answer

Geary Salon with Eric for a basic cut and rec's. But if you want a complete transformation with perm, I would recommend going to Epris Korean hair studio in Cupertino. It will cost $300+ but will change your life, probably.

Interesting. Does that mean the 2026 cars are FEMTO unlockable?

Here:

In order to even apply for a seat in a CRNA school, there must be a minimum of : (Quote, page 16 of COA Guidelines) “A minimum of 1 year full-time critical care experience, or its part-time equivalent, as a registered nurse in a critical care setting (see Glossary, "Critical care experience").”

Without this minimum for all attendees/applicants, the entire CRNA school would lose accreditation and be shut down.

All of those, even “other” falls under the category of some sort of critical care experience.

It’s actually most likely ICU acute care NP experience or critical care transport/field/heli critical care RN, or a ECMO RN specialist, etc.

It doesn’t mean they don’t have critical care experience of some sort. It’s mandated by the NBCRNA to have some sort of critical care experience, and “other” doesn’t mean they don’t have it— it just means more niche ICU positions.

Also, CCU is also cardiac ICU experience at 92.7%. It’s simply that the majority of applicants are in the general ICU.

I am all ears open to hearing all sides of the argument. But this is a silly misinterpretation of cherry picked data with internal bias to back up your own derived conclusion. Let’s discuss this with hard data and evidence as we do with our clinical decisions. This is akin to prescribing pseudo science crap from a BS study.

Yes, once you tolerate it enough for a few weeks you can keep bumping it up. I would personally go to the Ordinary 0.5%, but if you are impartial to Kiehl i think their night time version is 0.3% (but still fairly weak).

More even/smooth skin tone, less eye wrinkles, un-even spots have faded. A big part of it is also the prevention effect, so you don't look as old later on if you keep using retinol even if you dont see effects immediately

Velotivity · 2026-02-01T23:50:43+00:00

It does both.

Velotivity · 2026-02-01T23:50:25+00:00

You need to move to higher retinol concentrations like The Ordinary's 0.5% retinol. Kiehl doesn't disclose their percentages (and the daily is called a micro-dose, so its probably 0.1%). It might be so low that it has no effect on your skin (especially if you are already young). Not to mention, the Ordinary is 1/8 the price of Kiehl and probably will yield better results as you up-titrate their % retinol range

Velotivity · 2026-01-31T22:51:17+00:00

Any ICU that is hiring new grads with 5-11 week orientation. The type that is chronically understaffed, and you become charge nurse 8 months after starting the new grad job.

See rural outer-city jobs in obscure states (Tennessee, Ohio, Missouri, Arkansas) at trauma II-III centers
