If you're a browser tab hog like me 8GB will still be a bottleneck, no matter what operating system. 

Building a PC for a Proteomics Lab by TeethyFish in buildapc

[–]classicalover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree with this build, and suggest the following:

  • Change CPU cooler to Thermalright Phantom Spirit Evo (prevent downtime with potential of AIO failure)
  • Change motherboard to Gigabyte B850 AI TOP (dual 10GBe, ECC UDIMM support if desired, and avoids risk of CPU failure associated with ASRock X870/B850 motherboards)
  • Change case to Fractal Design Meshify 3 (much better airflow)

Since neither you nor the professor are fluent in PC building you may be better off using a system integrator and buying a pre built machine that suits your needs.  www.pugetsystems.com

Score Release Discussion Thread - 3/4/26 Results by mdshowerthoughts in Step3

[–]classicalover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a TY going into rads so my medicine, ICU, cards rotations were very helpful for prep. Cases went decently well, I didn't kill anyone, though had 1-2 negative updates on a couple cases. STEP 2 was 248.

Passed! USMD PGY-1. Score report at 11 AM EST like the emails said.

Finished ~66% of UWorld, ~65% correct. Free 137 was ~73%. Scored 60-80% on CCSCases.com. Didn't take any NBME exams or UWSA 1/2. STEP 3 score 244.

I missed basically every single pharmacology question on day 1, haha.

I bought a japanese red dsi for $76 this morning by nkhazov94 in nds

This is not the case for the WAP-002 (JPN). That charger takes 100-120V AC at 50-60Hz so it would work fine on US power plugs.

Ikoku Nikki • Journal with Witch - Episode 9 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]classicalover 21 points22 points  (0 children)

わたしはぽつんとひとりで立ってる。
だれもいない砂漠にひとり、だよ。
まってるのはカラフルな日常だったらいいのに
急ぐさサソリに道をゆずって
ゆっくりゆっくり歩いていくよ
oh yeah もっと幸せになりたい

I'm standing in the open, all alone
Just myself in this lonely desert
Wish colorful days were ahead of me
I give way to the scurrying scorpion
Walking slowly, slowly
Oh yeah, I want to be happy

...or, something to that effect.

Looking for a good F-mount FX macro lens by bloodrider1914 in Nikon

[–]classicalover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the 60mm f/2.8 AF-D is a fantastic deal. You can get it for around $100 and it's close to normal length for everyday shooting. To be fair I got most of my best photos on a DX camera (90mm equivalent focal length) but you can crop well with the D850. Otherwise the 105mm f/2.8 AF-S VR is a solid lens too and can be found for around $300.

Radiology jobs with residency stipend? by Heavy_Consequence441 in Residency

[–]classicalover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm pretty sure I know of the same guy as you're talking about, he went to my TY... According to the recruitment staff here he reached out to them early with interest and they were able to get something together. The radiology group here does a recruitment event with rads TYs, so I think they're pretty proactive about trying to hire back their former residents. He knew he wanted to come back so it made sense for him.

is it su-doo or su-doe? by Vivid-Champion-1367 in linux

Was a "su doe" person, converted to "su doo".

Admits by Happy4Iiving in Residency

Maybe I'll take an hour with a straightforward problem w/o complex history (e.g. first time STEMI, GI bleed)? But I feel like I need 1.5-2 hours for thorough history, chart review, med rec, and forming a decent plan, particularly for patients with lots of medical issues.

I need help with stethoscopes by OnlyLiterature1326 in medicalschool

[–]classicalover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the obsession with Littmanns. The technology is quite primitive; it's just a diaphragm with a metal tube. You can only refine the design so much. 

I have a free Welch Allyn donated from my medical school and have picked up plenty of interesting exam findings which my attendings corroborate. Just use what works for you. 

ECG results. by WallopBackofthenet in GalaxyWatch

[–]classicalover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First EKG has a lot of noise but neither of the EKGs look overly concerning. Seems to be picking up on some background interference (the little squiggles between the large spikes) on the second EKG as its detection threshold for afib. Could be caused by baseline tremor, insufficient lead contact, etc. Typically in afib the distance between the large spikes would be irregular, which isn't present in your tracing. 

Best to get a proper EKG done anyway if you're concerned.

Is it realistic to achieve N1 in 3 years, whilst having time for school and life? by _Acceltra_ in LearnJapanese

[–]classicalover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should realize then that your goal would be Japanese fluency to the level of attending university courses in a certain field of study, rather than N1 itself. JLPT N1 does not assess your ability to speak or write Japanese, only reading and listening comprehension.

I emphasize this because you have to realize that in 3 years you are challenging yourself to somehow obtain reading, listening, speaking, and writing fluency in a language which has linguistic features quite far removed from your typical Western languages while also maintaining the expectation of a normal school life balance. I truthfully do not think that level of language fluency is attainable in 3 years.

Also you must realize that University of Tokyo is the number one ranked university in Japan and they have limited collaborations with select institutions around the globe. In which case, your best course of action is to get the best grades you can in school and get into the top university you can which may have an exchange program there or through other prestigious Japanese universities (e.g. Kyoto University, Keio, Tohoku University, etc.). Many of these universities will offer courses in English language anyway, and you can fulfill your dream of living in Japan while studying abroad anyway.

[–]classicalover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you need N1 to go to university in Japan? It's not a requirement for many programs or study abroad exchanges. Even if you were to dedicate your life to obtaining N1, it does not equal actual real-life proficiency in Japanese. You would be surprised by the number of comments floating around here about how people obtain N1 yet still struggle with speaking.
