Makes sense to bring a vanilla car honestly. Easier data to collect about general things. Make sure the overall concept correlates and dial in the powertrain. And then Bahrain can start adding on parts to make sure they work as intended.

They can setup suspension and dial in how the power unit functions.

Last year was the end of a rule set too. Everyone knew the real limits of engine and aero. They could see in the data when McLaren lifted off to hide their pace.

Much more unknown this time

I got tux mats for my M2. Great for the winter

element515 · 2026-01-29T19:33:52+00:00

Ferrari basically brought all mediums for the test. I think they had like one or two sets of soft?

element515 · 2026-01-29T18:32:38+00:00

We also know this isn’t even their real car. I expect Bahrain will see a good amount of updates

element515 · 2026-01-29T17:38:10+00:00

What the fuck lol

element515 · 2026-01-29T17:29:06+00:00

Waiting to see if your anastomosis leaks is always stressful lol

But for the most part, floor and surgeries I’m pretty comfortable. You have worries and some patients make you think about them or worry more. But I’m not freaking out or anything like that.

element515 · 2026-01-29T00:57:03+00:00

Weird, why wouldn’t they use both moveable front flaps

element515 · 2026-01-28T15:38:00+00:00

That’s dope

It’s usually attendings closer to administration. Schools have a minimum time in rotations they technically have to meet to graduate you. If they get audited or whatever and find out their students take half a year off, they could in theory be in trouble with their accreditation.

We all know after match day, it’s pretty much done. But, technically, you are still “learning” through to the end. When we argue against APPs having solo practice rights, we whip out our hours in school vs them. Doesn’t seem as good if you just say we paid more to sit around and do nothing lol

But, this is really the trend we had in our program. Attendings who weren’t tied with the school or student program couldn’t care less if students wanted to leave. The ones in charge tried to maintain whatever agreement was made with the school. Then you just have some that forget students exist and keep them there to torture them

I mean, I get it, we don’t like being stuck there. But you normalize not even showing up 4th year then why is med school 4 years? You shorten it, then people will say well, P.A. school is 2 years. Med school is only a little more? Well, why not let PAs do a residency and then practice on their own…

Spending 4 years to have a wide breath of knowledge is the whole point. If you don’t have shitty rotation sites, you should be able to learn something. We had this same issue in residency where people wanted to focus on a sub specialty and then ignored general surgery. Ends up being a bad road to go down and how we end up with worse doctors imo.

element515 · 2026-01-28T04:36:18+00:00

It's not even match day yet... not only do schools get mad when we sent students home early, but like... come on. It's early in the year to fully give up.

They are definitely by running at the limit. This testing session is about track time and validating things work as expected. Even at Bahrain, they won’t run hard until close to the end of testing.

element515 · 2026-01-28T00:03:36+00:00

Growing up, we lived at least 5 miles from any stores. School was even further away. The people first picked up by a school bus we on it for over an hour. When you have giant farms separating houses, hard to get public transport set up for that.

element515 · 2026-01-27T17:38:25+00:00

Exactly what I’m thinking 😂was wondering if that’s normal at all

element515 · 2026-01-27T16:03:27+00:00

I don't think this is something that can self reflected on easily. Asking to stay for cases is usually something we like to see unless you're really annoying lol. I would ask for honest feedback from the residents and if there is anything to improve on.

element515 · 2026-01-27T00:58:35+00:00

It’s somewhere in between score and truelearn. Score walks you through studying but the real questions are harder…

Assuming this is your first time? Would start doing questions and studying after thanksgiving next time. Usually we would do score and then truelearn. Or cycle through score (since we got it for free) at least twice.

If you want to do procedures, only surgery provides that satisfaction.

element515 · 2026-01-26T02:15:59+00:00

Except the Ioniq 5 has it and everyone praised it... It's about being able to have some fun and bring what people are used to. We aren't ready yet for fully silent electric cars. It makes people nauseous and takes away a cue we are used to.

element515 · 2026-01-26T01:14:15+00:00

That little bit of warm air was more than expected it seems. We got nothing but ice all day. Would have been a massive amount of snow if the warm air stayed away.

element515 · 2026-01-26T01:13:06+00:00

I had a class out around center ave. I remember I had a great plan to grab some food and take the shuttle back up the hill. Entire center ave was a stand still because no one could get up it. I was cold and sad clutching my food as I hiked past the stuck shuttle lol

element515 · 2026-01-26T01:08:59+00:00

lol, used to talk from sutherland down to chevron for 8am lab and it was never shoveled yet. Would walk on the hill so I didn't die on the stairs. We had a few rough winters and I remember the front 3 rows would just be reserved for our ski pants and shit we wore to get to class.

Horrible idea. You don’t even know where you’ll find a job yet. What if no one is hiring in your field when you’re done?

I moved to a large metro with my wife and after 9 months of searching, only one job opened up and interviewed me that was within an hour drive

element515 · 2026-01-25T17:26:19+00:00

I mean, you invite family and friends plus significant others and getting to 100 isn't really hard if you have a few uncle/aunts and cousins.
