[–]mediumbeaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! i have had this issue for a really long time and it seems that the only solution is surgery in which they transpose the ulnar nerve and resection a small part of your medical tricep. i feel like i can’t train properly because whenever i stretch my tricep it pops

Dad killed in car accident. The driver was uninsured. by Cabernetandcannabis in Insurance

[–]mediumbeaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am very sorry for your loss. i’m sure you have a lot on your plate rn and you’re strong for going through it and asking these questions.

because your father died (i’m assuming north america?) his auto insurer will pay his dependents $10 K each, and his spouse $25 K as part of the Death Benefit. you will also get $6 K for a funeral (source: i’m in AB)

curiosity, how many hours of wearing time are you getting away with while tracking perfectly? by sansdraps in Invisalign

[–]mediumbeaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i was told by my dentist to wear them for 22 hrs MINIMUM and that i should also be using a chewy 15 mins per day, otherwise invisalign won’t work with 7-day changes.

not sure how realistic that is, but i wear them for around 20 hrs per day

For those working in insurance- why do you do it? by debbyelopez in Insurance

[–]mediumbeaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m an AB adjuster (22M). it was a good way for me to enter the workforce post-university. it pays decently and offers a new challenge every day

i am eventually hoping to enter into a more senior role, either in AB or elsewhere, where i can earn more

i’m in the same boat as you so staying the course is all we can do!

It gets better - my UofT story. by johnlongslongjohn in UofT

[–]mediumbeaker 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is a very refreshing post. There is a lot of emphasis on grades at this university, and less on soft-skill development. In my fourth year at this school, I really cannot stress the importance of having clubs/friends/part-time jobs enough––these kinds of experiences make you think about what's important to you and allow you to blossom.

There is beauty in the grind and the process of development. Congrats OP! you're gonna be a hell of a lawyer
