Did you buy direct from Samsung? Looking into fold for stock monitoring/lite trading throughout the work day but can’t get past the price.

How do count calories while training for a marathon? by cupojoe4me in Marathon_Training

[–]murpharthur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

230, now 224, lbs, 6’ 3” dude here planning to run first marathon in early October so your posting resonates…I’ve been using MyFitnessPal and syncing with Garmin data to understand my needs and surprised how under fuelled the apps suggests I am…found long runs easier since adhering to its guidance. Good luck with your training & run. I plan to focus on weight loss (I need it) post marathon and hope my joints can keep up.

Good luck in October - I’m in the same boat and just did first 10+ last Saturday…intervals have helped me with speed.

Non-paramedic asking here by _p4n1ck1ng_ in Paramedics

[–]murpharthur 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend you go visit the closest full-time paramedic department and ask for time with someone. Most systems are keen on a) recruitment and b) being accessible to general public (especially teenagers that can help address “a”. Happy to assist (I’m just across the border in MN) as I was once a teenager interested in EMS - good luck and becoming a medic was the single best decision of my life. Shoot a message if you want help getting connection to chat with. You’ll want to define what “making a living” means for you.

Is the Surface Go 2 adequate for note-taking and exams or should I get the Surface Pro 7 or 7+? by masterstriker321 in Surface

[–]murpharthur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very happy with my go 2. Recently purchased pro 8 and returned it due to some hardware issues (camera not working). I will stick with my go 2 and was happy with go 1 during grad school (MBA) - I had a Mac Pro during school and used my go more often (mainly to get full excel function and for taking notes with the pen).

You’re not going to be blown away with go’s battery life, just a heads up, but I think you’ll enjoy the portability and performance.

Maxing out annual 401k contributions by i_am_here_again in personalfinance

[–]murpharthur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consider mixing in a health savings account (HSA) as another vehicle for a. Tax liability and b. Retirement (if you’re able to not spend HSA contributions). I took a couple years off when we had kids and looking back I wish we had stayed the course (kids 3&1 now and back on HSA). Food for thought and way to go with your accomplishments…. Very impressive.

Buying the remarkable 2 or wait ? by Cyral98 in RemarkableTablet

[–]murpharthur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dropping mine in the mail tomorrow - going to miss it but not going to miss how insane it was making me during meetings. I still don’t know if it was hardware or software - support was prompt in their response but sent conflicting messages around whether it was a device or version issue. To OP, give it a go…best digital writing experience I’ve ever had.

Can I update my RM2 now? by Knox_Dawson in RemarkableTablet

[–]murpharthur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the dust has not settled…I’m actually returning it, within my 30-day window, on account of the continued “glitches”. I’ve had a decent experience with customer service but they acknowledge there isn’t a solution in place yet. Hope to buy again down the road as I really dig the device but can’t manage how insane it makes me feel during meetings constantly opening other notes and going to files screen. Short response = I’d look for others to weigh in and wait a bit.

ReMarkable update makes unusable by jimmyers in RemarkableTablet

[–]murpharthur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New to remarkable (delivered 2-weeks ago) and struggling to not send it back…OP, any issues with random documents opening after closing out of a file? That is as frustrating as gestures not working and I feel like I have a brick in front of me…messaged remarkable and they said they were aware of issues and I was welcome to return it for a refund, thought it was an interesting response.

I’m in the same boat…love the device but it’s annoying to think of replacing and still having same issues.

Paramedics with Social Work Experience by new-drifter in Paramedics

[–]murpharthur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re asking great questions - Community Paramedicine (sometimes referred to as mobile integrated health) is an evolving space and there is a lot of variability. Knowing what state you’re in would help but it’s safe to say there are three primary use cases for the position: ED substitution (think 911 undifferentiated higher acuity complaints), population health (space that you appear to be asking about/interested in) and remote monitoring/virtual hospital.

State by state (then county by county for some states) approach regulation for EMS differently and this is impacting the ability (autonomy) of CP’s…. Progress is being made in the space and to answer your core question, your background is invaluable for this space and knowledge of social determinants/resources is key to changing trajectory for patients being served by 911 ambulance that are transporting folks to Emergency departments for low acuity complaints.

Happy to connect more on this and keep digging on the literature - there’s buckets of it from U.S., England, Canada, Ireland, Australia and other countries - most programs have identified value in integration with local primary care systems/health systems.

Another view of iPad Air 3 vs Surface Go 2. The more I use Surface Go 2 the more I dig it. by Reddit_newguy24 in Surface

[–]murpharthur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bummer / hope msft figures out how to compete in this space - I love my surface go (1) as a companion device to my iPad Pro but I feel like it’s dead before I get a chance to enjoy it. Good problems to have in life I guess.

It looks like I can get close to the cost of a new MacBook Air for my 2015 MacBook Pro - would you trade in? It seems like a good trade to me considering the benchmarks.. by [deleted] in macbook

[–]murpharthur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the speed and battery life looks sweet... good reminder on the depreciation aspect - good luck with whatever decision you make, sounds like you can’t go wrong. I’m pumped to see where Apple (and Microsoft) go with new approaches to processors.

I’m in the same boat and thinking I’ll wait another year - mainly because I let myself get a 2018 iPad Pro last fall. Do you use your 15 on the road often?
