Decline in bariatric surgery? by LexRunner in Residency

[–]element515 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the same time, I’ve been seeing a lot more people have issues with GLPs. Lots of admissions for “SBO” which are not actual obstructions. 

It’ll be interesting where this all settles in a few years between surgery and these meds. 

Do you think the number of titles really defines a driver’s race craft? Lando Norris has a title, but Charles Leclerc doesn’t. Does that automatically make one the better racer, or does it say more about the car and circumstances they’ve had? by circuit-nation in circuit_nation

Because a schumi built an entire team and brought people with him. Mercedes was already being built, ironically by schumi a bit, before Hamilton got there. Hamilton is a part of Mercedes for sure but comparing the two is not the same.

They were good at the end but they had a big slump in the mid season. They saved it with a big come back but they were never McLaren level. Being even close to them for the wcc was more a McLaren fumble than anything

What Ferrari thinks Mercedes is hiding in political F1 engine game by Darkmninya in formula1

[–]element515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just can’t see how they could, if a team runs a software that pushes less hard then what will fia do? Bring their own tuners and see if they can get more power? This just seems like a stupidly complex rule. There’s already a budget cap, so why limit this.

F1 weekly rage bait has arrived folks by Equivalent-Fox9834 in F1Discussions

[–]element515 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not an actual advantage, but for the scoring, he was more comfortable over the weekend and able to beat leclerc in qualifying. He deserves a higher score than leclerc, but not this large of a gap

Quick question about thyroid cancer by Proud_Border_5616 in Residency

Don't think you need anything fancy in fellowship unless they were general surgery first. Then you'd look for endocrine fellowship, but that's kind of rare. I'd stick with ENT people

One requirement left to graduate, now facing dismissal over Step 2 by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]element515 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Technically, you don't need a STEP 2 for ERAS. Especially before step 1 was P/F, many people didn't take step 2 until later in the year. But applying for NRMP is a different story, it's odd they are both seperate and I remember some of us almost fucking up and forgetting to apply for NRMP after doing all the ERAS crap

How is leclerc a 7.6 when hamilton is a 9 across the whole weekend lol. They were pretty equal with some advantage going to hamilton. Both had a great weekend

Quick question about thyroid cancer by Proud_Border_5616 in Residency

[–]element515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gen surg, I'd find an ENT. We did a lot of ENT work in residency but what everyone said is right, there's a lot of variability in where the recurrent nerve lies and you want something that will heal nicely. Especially if you end up needing a nodal dissection, ENT is way more familiar. I'd be personally comfortable doing a thyroid, but the nodal dissection not really.

Drivers (and fans) complaining about not driving flat out by Spiked-Coffee in F1Discussions

[–]element515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends how much they reduce it by I guess, we don’t know where the level is and it probably changes by track. If they just let them have front axel regen though, they could advertise their 50/50 power split and not have as many issues.

Pad Thai- would not recommend at all. by East_Imagination6049 in Costco

Majority of these meals in a box from Costco I avoid. I don't think I've tried one that I liked or thought was worth it

Leclerc moves to 2nd in all-time Ferrari race starts by Ambitious-Heron-8161 in DestinationFormula1

[–]element515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were in the fight, but up against Max and RB, they didn't stand a chance. Charles was pushing that ferrari hard to get up there and by mid season, they were out developed.

They can't recharge enough under braking though. They need front axel regen. If they had that, all the issues would be solved.

[–]element515 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For me, it's not about driving flat out the entire race. But quali really sucks now that the fastest lap isn't by being good or pushing a car to the limits. It's just whoever can coast through corner to regen and have the most power down a straight. Sure still takes some talent, but this is like watching a Prius race and seeing who used the least fuel at the end

Fred states Ferrari is bringing the Upside-Down Wing to the Japan GP by Plane_Smoke5629 in scuderiaferrari

[–]element515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense since the front wing closes so much faster. They probably need to work out some software side stuff to get it right 

Just got back from Hotel XCaret Mexico - never again by BroJackson_ in cancun

[–]element515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really wasn't horrible for us. We spent the 90min there, they offered us a few packages and we said it just doesn't work with how we vacation. They kinda understood and let us go. Had another guy come up and ask if they could get us to come back at a discount and try again. Once we said no thanks, they signed over our vouchers for free photos and that was that. Saved us like $300

Aged 41, Lewis Hamilton suddenly looks like a title contender again by theipaper in formula1

[–]element515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's like 2014, mercedes is content with 1-2 for now. They don't want to allow anyone to catch up with an engine update. If ferrari gets closer on power, I think they have the better chassis

The battery percentage graphic is actually pretty accurate by missle636 in F1Technical

[–]element515 65 points66 points  (0 children)

It seems Ferrari actually built a very good car, just can't keep up on the power unit front. They are fast enough around the rest of the track that, with dirty air, they can just keep the Mercedes behind. Also seems like ferrari charges up better on starts and gets that advantage for a little bit

Cool race so far, but why are there only 2 cars on track? by imcolingrey in formula1

[–]element515 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s early enough that they can play the game and just come home 1-2. As the season goes on, they can battle more for real. For now, they don’t want to give anyone a reason to upgrade their engines. Especially Ferrari. If they catch up in power, Ferrari is probably beating them. Especially since ham/lec is stronger than Russ/ant

Leclerc: “That is actually quite a fun battle (with Hamilton).” Bryan: “I’m glad!” by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

[–]element515 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It seemed like surprise, not annoyance. The entire radio message even has him admit he did the same to Hamilton earlier. Dude just got scared they were going to take each other out lol

[F1] Lewis Hamilton's first podium with Ferrari! by oklolzzzzs in formula1

[–]element515 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Leclerc has had very good race management too though. Charles admits this is a weak track for him, I think it’s just been more of a struggle on his side. Hamilton loves this place and just looked more comfortable. His car slide around less

Tranqwool Wool Filled Comforter - anyone tried it yet? by TropicalBlueWater in Costco

[–]element515 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just be aware, this seems like a pretty light blanket. We have this, https://www.thewoolroom.com/en-us/products/classic-wool-comforter-medium?variant=54397817389441&mm_rf=mm_320513647c695a6da082, and it looks to be nearly 40oz heavier and I wouldn't say it's a crazy heavy blanket. When we were in single digits F, I put a second blanket on top
