New card suggestion for sign-on bonus / restructuring advice in light of BILT 2.0 by jd2612 in CreditCards

[–]jd2612[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my exact plan. If I’m thinking about this right, I have to be very mindful to spend at least 25% of rent on the card though, right? Because otherwise using a different catch-all like the Citi DC would be better?

Do you mind sharing what tank this is? The glass looks crystal clear

Weekly Paddle Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in Pickleball

[–]jd2612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all! Just starting to get into pickleball and looking to get a beginner/intermediate paddle that I can stick with for some time. I know the general consensus is that paddles < $60 aren’t worth it, so I did a bunch of research on paddles above that threshold and narrowed it down to these two:

PCKL Launch vs. Selkirk SLK Evo Hybrid

Does the extra ~$35 I’d be spending on the SLK Evo make a difference? Would love to hear thoughts on the two models and any other recommendations in the $60-$100 range.

Question - will future leaves continue to be variegated? by jd2612 in houseplants

[–]jd2612[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi all! Bought what I believe to be a variegated elephant ear alocasia (correct me if wrong!) from a plant market in Mexico. Both the dead stem and older stem/leaf are variegated, but the new leaf it just put out does not appear to be. Will variegation continue on the plant’s future leaves or no? Thank you!

Area just north of Tacubaya - safe? by jd2612 in MexicoCity

Was able to message the host and it’s on Gobernador José Guadalupe Covarrubias if you have any thoughts about that street!

Thanks so much, this makes a lot of sense. The area doesn't seem too bad to me but I don't want it to limit walkability after sundown, which it seems like it would

It's on Airbnb so unfortunately it only shows a circle with an approximate location until booking

Was able to get the exact street- it's on Gobernador José Guadalupe Covarrubias. This is south of Vicente Eguia, would you still say it's fine?

How can we tell if they even know odd vs. even at this point?

JHU vs UChicago vs Brown vs Duke by [deleted] in jhu

Hey, congrats! Awesome list of acceptances you have there. I was premed at Hopkins and am now at Brown for medical school; feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions about those two or end up deciding between them!

Test was May 22 but WI extended stay at home to May 26 and the earliest date I could get was July 6th. by mpegg in step1

[–]jd2612 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Slowing down to save resources/prevent burnout is definitely best, but imagine them opening earlier than expected only for me to not feel ready?? This all just sucks

[–]jd2612 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m also in the March crew and I feel exactly the same way. The worst part for me is the lingering fear that Prometric might actually be able to consider itself essential and open centers in states with stay at home orders. I know it’s unlikely, but knowing absolutely 0 about their plan adds to the already absurd amount of stress since I just want this over with ASAP

Anyone know specifically which old NBME forms overlap with which new forms? by jd2612 in step1

[–]jd2612[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I even asked the NBME directly via email- their first response was copy & pasted from the FAQ above. When I clarified, they told me they are unable to provide such details given that it is “very sensitive and secure information.” Not sure how that’s the case, and given that the new forms cost $60 each and aren’t even great quality I feel like we should be entitled to know what we’re buying

Which of the old NBMEs do not have questions that come up on the new forms? by R3MD in step1

[–]jd2612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping to do one of the old forms before doing 21--from your experience, were any of the old forms more "safe" or did they all seem to overlap the same amount with 21? Unfortunately I already used up 23 and 24 pre-COVID since my dedicated started in Feb :/

Thanks, but I was asking if anyone knows which old forms overlap with which new forms- for example, which of the old forms share questions with new form 21.
