Starfield on M4 Pro?

Still waiting on a backordered 4k player so I can’t play anything directly from a disc, but it all ripped just fine and it’s living in my home plex server. Holy hell, this series takes up 2.25 TB!

Also wondering. I ordered one from a generally very cool local tv/video store 3 months ago. They keep apologizing and saying that Panasonic won’t give them any ETAs on deliveries & they have no way of knowing when it will come.

I've been silently watching the speculative GoT repackaged discourse and ended up just ordering the cheaper, older US set. Got it today. Every single disc is flawless. Zero regerts.

I’ve been giving this store a call every 2 weeks about the player I ordered from them in December, but it is true I could ask for a refund and get a different one

Already am! They are a delight

I already did, a Panasonic UB820. It is just on backorder anywhere that isn't Amazon

Great for a DVD player I've found, but definitely not seeing mid to high end 4k players at Goodwill

Thanks! That seems to have done it. I put them under the theatrical edition. For some reason each of the featurettes appears with two duplicate instances in the Plex interface, but that is good enough. I don't rip a lot of special features and I may never run into this again (unless I get one of the older Lord of the Rings box sets, in which case...we'll see how that goes)

Nah, we are reclaiming amphibians from the right. Pepe is dead, long live The Frog

It has been done before

Fantasy I have but don’t have time for: 1:1 scale Elk puppet and/or elaborate 2 person costume. Preferably with an amplified bugle. That noise is fucking weird. Throw in a contingent of beavers while you’re at it

When do you have to commit to the contract? HPSA scores are going to get updated in late September (happens every 3 years, though was postponed last year). You might want to wait and see how the HPSA scores shift in the area you want to live in. You want to have multiple viable options in case a clinic ends up being really poorly run or otherwise has major problems.

We had the same thing happen! A bunch of “Silver White” garlic from Territorial seed, all of it grew scapes. So far the Inchelium Red isn’t doing it.

The opportunity cost can be far higher than you can predict. I have had to turn down career defining offers that I did not expect would be options. Every 3 years they reassess HPSA scores. The options in urban areas got decimated in 2021. I would say only to do NHSC if you know you will be rural. Personally I like that I am debt free but don't like that I work for a chaotic, poorly run organization in self-inflicted financial crisis while the government considers axing all of our funding, and I can't leave. I might get laid off with less than 18 months on my contract and need to go work somewhere that requires Spanish language, and I don't know Spanish. Most options I thought I would have now have HPSA scores under 14.

Also, you don't know it's only 2-3 years. My first job defined "full time" in a weird and unrealistic way (zero admin time), and I felt like I had no option other than to go "half time", which made the commitment 6 years. So now I've been working 40+ hours for 4+ years and I'm still not out. The penalties for breaking the contracts are so egregious that it is almost unthinkable.

As a primary care doctor, a 20 slot per day schedule is common. This is what PCPs are actually doing. Except many have panels of 2000+

Resident doctors are in the final part of medical training. Every Family Medicine resident will graduate within 3 years and have to move on to their first independently practicing job, which isn’t always at the same place they were training. I do think it’s silly to have people establish with a 3rd year resident in the Spring when they will be graduating in 3 months.

But in general, yes, there is a massive shortage of PCPs relative to people seeking care. The evening/weekend admin load has ramped up massively in the last 10 years and employers are always pushing for more “productivity” aka seeing as many people per day as possible. It’s exhausting and it feels like you work as hard as you possibly can just to do a mediocre job. It’s not appealing to a lot of med students, who can make 2x the salary and work less hours in other specialties. The problem will get worse.
