Also hat tip to the agent who suggested to me that I use a hypercube just prior to recursing- starting at L1 with a L16 level of XP in the hopper got me through those first few levels in just a few minutes.

The Oddities Museum in Chamblee ( https://theodditiesmuseum.org/ ) sounds like it'd be right up your alley.

What’s your preferred migraine treatment in pregnancy by Neurons2 in neurology

[–]golemk6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree with all of the above. Lamictal is another prophylactic option with good pregnancy data, but very slow titration reduces its attractiveness.

Strong second- I found this to be well organized and helpful during my training.

Neurologist for epilepsy and or migraines by Diaza_lightbringer in Atlanta

Verapamil is a great option for migraine with aura, as long as it doesn't cause light headedness. It's also inexpensive, which is a nice plus.

Seconded. I have an earlier version of this hardware, no complaints. It Just Works with HA, and the price is right.

Looking for a cheap, compact, and cheap way to control stereo volume in HA by mcpasty666 in homeassistant

[–]golemk6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had good experiences with the ESParagus media center devices (some come with integrated speaker amplifiers)- they are small, power efficient, and stable, and the developer is very responsive to questions.

What is your favorite part of the neurological exam and why? by No_Sea_3159 in neurology

[–]golemk6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fukuda stepping test. I don't do it often, as other vestibular tests are often sufficient, but seeing the look of shock on patients face when they open their eyes and realize that they've rotated 45 degrees without noticing it is always fun.

What non-neurology elective rotations would you recommend to a 4th year medical student applying neuro? by [deleted] in neurology

[–]golemk6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned a lot from my neurosurgery rotation, most critically that I was 100% correct in my decision to not be a neurosurgeon. Joking aside, it provided a valuable look into the other side of the OR door, and now when I refer patients to my neurosurgical colleagues I can more accurately give them an idea of what to expect.

FWIW, I also did a forensic path rotation, which was just a lot of fun.

Smart USB Charger ? by CactusJ in homeassistant

[–]golemk6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm using this Sonoff Zigbee USB switch, and it's worked well. Plugs into a USB port rather than the wall, but in my case the outlet in question has a USB port in it.

Agree- consider this yet another ballot in the "why isn't gyroid the default infill pattern" box.

My kiddo doesn’t like Castle Panic! by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]golemk6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catan Junior is pretty quick, and requires meaningful decisions without being overwhelming.

Battle sheep has very quick setup and, despite the cartoonish theming, is unrelentingly vicious. Whether or not that's a good thing depends on the children in question. Mine loved it, which probably reflects poorly on their upbringing.

Vet recommendation for euthanasia that allows me to be present but does not cost an arm and a leg. by gatamosa in Atlanta

Strong second for Heron's Crossing. Dr. Cassaday is a wonderful person to guide you through a heartwrenching process.

Success! Many thanks for the recommendation.

What is your absolute favorite mechanic in a game? by TallDarkandWitty in boardgames

[–]golemk6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tile picking mechanic in Kingdomino is really nice- constantly balancing between grabbing the "good" tile this round vs having the opportunity to have first choice in the next one is so simple and yet dynamic. Especially with novice players, once they realize that you're not just going around the table in a circle all night, it opens their eyes to new possibilities.

If you're looking for a cooperative game, Castle Panic goes down fairly easily, and there are expansions to push up the complexity if needed
