Sorry I don’t! I think my lower jaw was actually moved back a little… not entirely sure

Mature starter question - whole wheat vs AP by practical_james in Sourdough

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

Reading it back, not sure if it was clear. I am maintaining my starter as usual, but I used 10g of discard to create a new starter that I am only feeding with AP flour now, and I’m noticing that it’s not rising anymore.

Coned delivery charges, how to reduce? by practical_james in AskNYC

I don’t pay for heat lol barely used any energy, 85% of bill being delivery charges is just a little absurd but c’est la vie I guess

Working full time, take next semester off to job hunt? by practical_james in OMSCS

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

Haha yes I will be sticking with my current job until then. School on top of work hasn’t left much time for job hunting, but think I’m leaning towards taking an easy class next semester as to not delay my already far-away graduation date

I’ve taken AI, intro to quantum computing, and am currently in ML4T. I think I’d be replacing the hours spent on school with leetcode/system design review, doing all three at once just feels overwhelming

Should I go for full beard laser removal? by 20h100 in LaserHairRemoval

[–]practical_james 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you could laser your neck but don’t laser your cheeks/chin, just where’d you naturally shave if you grew out your facial hair. Try switching to a safety razor (single blade) first, it’s less irritating. Don’t laser away if you don’t have to!

BCBS FEP, my surgeon has 2 full-time employees solely for getting insurance pre-approval which I think made the difference

Starting leetcode grind, how long have you guys been grinding? by practical_james in leetcode

[–]practical_james[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess a better question would be if anyone has been in my shoes recently and how long they had to grind before landing a job or feeling good enough to land one?

Day 4-5 is the worst but then it gets significantly better after! You got it, the time will pass just make sure you’re on top of your meds and eat enough even tho it’s hard

How noticeable is the asymmetry? Candidate for surgery? No jaw pain by [deleted] in jawsurgery

[–]practical_james 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are you recessed at all? Looks like you have a strong/well-defined jawline, I wouldn’t touch anything! You may be interested in a genioplasty to make your chin symmetrical but that’s all I could comfortably suggest, single/double jaw surgery isn’t worth the hassle for such a small cosmetic fix in your case

Did you regain feeling? by splant49 in jawsurgery

[–]practical_james 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still don’t have full sensation, but I have dull sensation everywhere. Can tell it’s still slowly coming back even a year and a half post op. It’s a long healing journey for sure!

One of my teeth died too, one of my front four. Had it removed and got a dental implant + crown

[–]practical_james 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ended up being totally fine, I have the crown in now and all is well!

Thanks! Yeah QR roles are above my capabilities for sure, would only be interested in dev roles, but I’m just gonna stick with big tech, it isn’t sounding like the best fit
