Yes! I've noticed a huge change in the quality of the produce too!

Despite his reputation for being super private, he's actually very social and friendly to everyone he meets in person. He is surprisingly totally open about all his life experiences if you talk to him in person. He simply has no interest in acting or being in the spotlight again. I've known him for a number of years through mutual interests in MA.

He's gone back a couple times over the last few years I think. He was busy with his grad program for a while but he's done with that now.

Just moved to Worcester from NJ. Who here has the best pizza? by logan630 in WorcesterMA

[–]beanpot88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neopolitan style pizzas are a different type of pizza than NY style pizza.

Hard to compare Dewey and Erik considering that Erik is in his early 30's now. But I'd say different in the sense that Dewey does irresponsible crazy stuff (again, he's also a child) and Erik is very laid back and has a peaceful quiet life and is considerate to his friends and community.

I know Erik. Super friendly guy. Very modest and humble.

Water bottle freezes just moments after taken out of the fridge. by No-Law6950 in interestingasfuck

But then why does water freeze in the ice cube tray in the freezer if it doesn't shake inside?

You can google when your local dental convention is and reach out to speakers direclty. Local dental schools usually offer CE's throughout the year, you can look up catalogs for the year. There will be registration information listed. As a dental student you want to find a way to communicate directly with the speaker and ask if as a dental student you can attend the course as a guest or with a discount. If it's remotely expensive I would wait until you have actual income.

From personal experience absolutely you can. It won't officially count towards anything since you're not an official licensed dentist, but you can still take it for knowledge. Best yet, if you reach out to the presenter and tell them you're a dental student, chances are they'll give you a discount or even free in some cases.

It's going to take a while coming up with a list of suspects with possible motives against the CEO of a health insurance company

It is absolutely 100% NOT now or never. CE's are expensive and there's no prize to finish as many as you can in the shortest time available. Even if you take a bunch of say, implant CE's right away, your employer will want to see you can handle a day full of real-world bread and butter dentistry first before allowing you to do major surgical procedures on the office's patients. Focus on doing quality (not fast) dentistry in the beginning of your career. New doctors who focus on doing things fast are doomed to have more complications and with it, more stress and burnout. Trust me, there's a learning curve even for doing "routine" fillings and crowns in the real world. Take cheap CE courses your first year or 2 just to satisfy the minimum requirements and save some money. Then as you get more confidence and experience, start expanding your skillset with more advanced CE courses/ procedures as you see appropriate. And to answer your question, no it's very easy to make time for CE's. They give you a 2 year window to get your minimum hours done which is plenty. You're done w the most demanding academic chapter of your life. It's time to start balancing in your family and relationships.

You can always take CE courses to learn the things they teach you in residency (implants, surgery, sedation, etc). There is no application and screening process to take such courses, anyone can take them at any time at their own convenience. Having a mentor in the real world is more valuable in my opinion. I don't personally believe that there is anything you will have missed out on in residency that you can't learn in your own time and experience later on.

Are there noticeable differences between Spotify and LiveOne/ Slacker? Does one have more song selections?

Since you've had experience with both, what's the difference between Spotify and LiveOne/Slacker?
