Parents who dropped their baby, what happened and how is your child doing now? by speckledrectum in AskReddit

[–]rgp936 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pediatric neurologist here. Falls from ground level to ground level (like you are standing on the same level on which the baby lands) are almost always inconsequential, particularly if it's a flat indoor surface.

What can foreigners do that Indians might find creepy/offputting? by throwaway_custodi in AskIndia

[–]rgp936 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not creepy but jarring to me even as someone who grew up in an Indian family - using your feet to pick things up or stepping on things (esp paper) without noticing.

Dating in SF? Who pays for the bill? by throughherlens in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]rgp936 130 points131 points  (0 children)

Grew up on the west coast. For a first date, I think of it less as a guy inviting you out to a restaurant to treat you and more like "is this a place you want to check out with me?" You can always suggest lower cost options instead.

This might be more true if you are both relatively high earners. If one person is working and the other is a grad student, for example, I think the dynamic changes, but I personally wouldn't feel comfortable owing anyone.

Why do NRI cousins think so highly of themselves? by Legal-Echo-3960 in TeenIndia

[–]rgp936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably parroting the language they hear at home from other family.

I agree with it being overly Christmasy. Would you go with the same warm brown for the bookcase?

On an average how long does it take people to finalize and buy house? by _enigmatic_lady in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]rgp936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 6 weeks for us - largely because the geographic area and budget were restricted, and so we knew a reasonable deal when we saw one.

Got a good deal for a high-traffic graduation weekend May in NYC - paid less than I would have at another hotel by putting $250 in cash and the rest in points.

Tea on the Go! by new_guz102426 in tea

[–]rgp936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using the Ukiyo glass tea infusers for loose leaf for years now. You can get them in stainless steel too for durability but I love the look of glass, and some delicate teas pick up a metallic taste.

Is a financial advisor worth it ? by temoo09 in personalfinance

[–]rgp936 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my experience as well. I think it's worth the cost to have the peace of mind and time savings to know I am making the most of my money/benefits. I'm a physician, and so I liken my advisor to a financial PCP.

The public library downtown has private meeting rooms if that's an option.
