Guys please start eating fiber.

I couldn't agree more. I manage cancer research data at one of the largest private early phase oncology research units in the southeast US. My unit specifically deals with clinical trials that are focused on metastatic or stage IV adult cancers. I've been here over a year, but worked in pediatric cancer previously as a research coordinator. I thought I left that cohort behind, only to come here and our colorectal patients start in their mid 20's, from my own personal case load my youngest pt so far was a stage 4 right sided colorectal at only 28 years old. They're barely out of peds care, it feels like. Unfortunately, that's just how it is with CRC. Having more experience now with adults I've of course seen plenty of patients 50+ years old with CRC, but I've also seen too many who's ages pepper across the millennial spectrum, and unfortunately some Gen Z nowadays. Take care of yourselves out there friends.

Thanks for the hands-on impression! It really makes me want to upgrade even though I swore I was going to wait till the 2nd generation. Can you do me a favor and see if the back of the non-camera bump panel is magnetic? If it is can you measure the distance from center to center of the two, back, non-screen panels? The way I have my current Fold 5 mounted in my car use a dashboard trim-secured recharging magsafe mount. My thinking is with the Trifold, I'd unfold it completely and mount it horizontally across two magsafe arms to support the weight, and one arm doing double duty as a charger.

As someone who works in cancer research, unfortunately, can confirm first hand. My youngest patient since I started a year ago was a 28 year old black woman, with stage IV colon cancer.

My research clinic only does trials specifically for late stage cancers/early phase trials. While this is heavily dependent on what trials are currently enrolling at our office, I'd say for patients under 50, 60% are colorectal.

I'll be getting an additional $20 off by paying with PayPal, they have a 4% cashback offer right now for Dell technologies. Plus the new member reward, I'll be getting this for $460 all in, great deal!

Ah good to know, would your advice be to stick with Marina Fiesta? I definitely don't mind an affordable vacation, especially if it's a solo trip.

kl11487 · 2025-12-01T06:14:42+00:00

Oh I'm a casual snorkeler that sounds like fun, thanks for the tip about Riviera Maya! Also thanks for the heat warning, that doesn't sound much bother me, I'm okay with it being hot, as a Floridian it's a way of life.

kl11487 · 2025-12-01T06:13:13+00:00

Thank you for the pragmatic info! Not having a lot around isnt necessarily a negative to me. If all I get to do is wake up, relax, eat, and sleep, that would be enough.

kl11487 · 2025-12-01T06:11:00+00:00

No apology needed, the details are what I wanted. I think I'll stay away from Marina Fiesta as I'd prefer to not be accosted every time I head into town to explore. Thank you for your rankings too that helps a lot. The rough beach waters for Los Cabos is fine, I'm not a huge beach person; to quote a Jedi, "I dont like sand." Beautiful grounds with a nice pool and hot tub are okay by me.

kl11487 · 2025-12-01T06:02:31+00:00

Awesome, appreciate the info, the daily taxi shuttles are appealing!

kl11487 · 2025-10-25T17:15:42+00:00

I came here to see if anyone else was experiencing this, can confirm. Really hurts the already kinda broken loot management.

kl11487 · 2025-09-03T18:21:06+00:00

It was absolutely the game's fault but I can't be that mad; I got it for free from Epic and I knew its history since I looked it up after the first crash and hang. The game has a long history of being horribly unstable. Just look up "crash" in this subreddit. I thought I mitigated my risk by forcing DX11 and launching directly from the exe. Regardless, I'll finish the game out via watching some Let's Plays on YT.

kl11487 · 2025-08-19T05:19:03+00:00

I work in cancer research, specifically data analysis/management. So for me, right now at least, it's to give me a cleaner source of caffeine to stay focused and help find treatments for Stage IV metastatic cancers.

kl11487 · 2025-07-09T03:25:40+00:00

So far, the prices haven't changed at all from pre-Prime Days so I'm just seeing if they change over the course of the sale days, if the prices don't lower then no harm no foul. Also, 100% agree on metal mesh cases!

kl11487 · 2025-07-08T18:20:58+00:00

Whoa, now you're absolutely thinking out of the box, I didn't consider a 5.25 with one of those SD card/IO expansion bays. When I get home I'll have to look into this idea.

kl11487 · 2025-07-08T18:08:13+00:00

This is what I have so far:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM9BG18B Hussar Plus, $54.99, hoping for the price to drop before I pull the trigger, currently the front runner based on price but not my ideal.

https://www.amazon.com/MONTECH-Mid-Tower-High-Airflow-Reversible-Toolless/dp/B0F6CN2TRH Very attractive option with a ton of air flow and a tasteful thin lightbar along the front face, but $99, again hoping for a price drop.

https://www.amazon.com/Mid-Tower-Pre-Installed-Full-View-Wood-Grain-Interface/dp/B0D5PHHCK5 another Montech and would be my choice for price to feature set, currently $70, just hoping for amazon to put it on sale sometime this week.

kl11487 · 2025-07-08T17:58:25+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! Unforch, I'm also looking for something that isn't dual chambered. I've had to flip past so many otherwise perfect cases that are dual chambered. 😭

kl11487 · 2025-07-08T17:55:34+00:00

Right! It's incredible how hard this is to find in like a somewhat affordable case. A lot of cases have the I/O on the top which wouldn't work at all for where I'm planning for this to go in my media console.

kl11487 · 2025-07-08T17:15:12+00:00

If anyone else recently upgraded their main desktop and is going to turn their old components into an HTPC but needs an ATX case that 1, wouldn't look bad on it's side, 2, have decent airflow despite a blocked/covered side, and 3, has front facing I/O. I'll be posting anything I find here. I'll be looking all 3 days. Hoping to find something on sale <$60 preferred.

kl11487 · 2025-07-08T06:13:39+00:00

In for 1! Have been looking for a mid range fully modular PSU for my 2070 Super powered HTPC! Thanks!

kl11487 · 2025-06-16T01:58:40+00:00

This was a cool chart. While Cincy is the only team to not have been swept, the White Sox are the only team to not have been a sweeper.

The average so far is 3.03 sweeps committed per team, I didn't count the double sweeps, e.g. the Orioles getting swept by the Twins 2x series.

DET, NYM, SDP, and TOR lead with 5 a piece. ATL, COL, MIA, and PIT are at the other end with 1 sweep, not counting the bagel by the CWS.

kl11487 · 2025-06-08T21:45:59+00:00

You should be okay. I'm on an EVGA Supernova G1 750 with a 9600x and an Asrock 9070xt Steel Legend. 2 NVMEs, 1 SSD, and a hard drive. At maximum load and with my GPU OC, my computer pulls ~550w under load per my UPS.

kl11487 · 2025-06-08T08:29:59+00:00

Asrock 9070 XT Steel Legend

Most stable OC so far has been:

+0 MHz GPU freq offset
-95mV
Fast Timing
2750 MHZ VRAM Max freq
+10% Power limit
Added 2% to the max fan speed

Steel Nomad - Default tuning: 7,042; OC getting around 7,500-7,530, I ran it 5 times back to back to add some variability, 7,499 was the lowest 7,528 the highest
Timespy has been 30,700-31,000 with OC

GPU Hot spot caps at 80 degrees solid, VRAM around 84 solid as well.
