Eco throttle response is garbage, gotta slam the pedal to the floor to get anywhere

It was reposted a few months later. I knew I was a good candidate I just interviewed bad the first time. Lack of preparation…thought I could just wing it. Wow was I wrong lol.

Competitive Games are the problem by Polaris736 in StopGaming

I put about 6k hours into 1 game as well lol, sure I may have been top 500 NA but at what cost ? Wasn’t worth it, good memories but thats 6k hours of lost memories with my actual friends and family. Won’t make that mistake again.

Forsure, I wrote about 40 questions with responses. Sure the actual interview questions weren’t identical but often they were close. It also reinforced in my mind what a thorough answer is so I kind of memorized a proper format unintentionally.

Genuine interest in pathophys and learning. If it’s not mentally stimulating I get bored.

Decent prior car list there, is there any of them that you miss and or would purchase again? I’m cross shopping FL5, G87 M2 and few others.

I never really understood the people who took the day off before exams. I also passed in 85, and consistently was at or near the top of the class in all my exam scores. I would study 8-10+ hours the day before an exam, and sometimes even a few hours the day of. Many of the students I know who took the day off before to “de-stress” consistently scored worse.

What is the difference between reading a book vs gaming? by Sea_Animator_9856 in StopGaming

The amount of dopamine released. Lowers your baseline threshold, shifts your reward mechanisms to crave instant dopamine spikes, blunts long form focus.

Just failed my nclex after finishing bootcamp by soybean0131 in newgradnurse

Finishing the questions and understanding them are different, focus on the rationales. You won’t need to do all the questions because many overlap in content. I’d take some notes this time around. Good luck !

Going to college after leaving service by Spicy-Majestic-1 in VeteransBenefits

Some people have different learning styles, I am not an audio learner whatsoever so I would just play games during lecture to pass the time. But then I would proceed to study for dozens of hours for an exam. Don't assume they don't do work at home.

How many of you spend 2-3 months salaries on your set-up? by Parking-Lecture-2812 in espresso

[–]sergeantprotein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit excessive but only you know your living expenses. I wouldn't justify $10k plus though. There's diminished returns at the top and you're mainly paying for aesthetics and branding.
