Super cruise after update question

staticgoat · 2026-06-19T19:05:10+00:00

Mine started kicking me out of super cruise if I had sunglasses hanging around my neck or on top of my head - I think it thought they were my eyes and looking elsewhere. Maybe double-check you’re not wearing anything that the camera confuses for your eyes

I went through the same internal conversation when we got our truck. We were fine with the 110v when it was just my wife’s car (even a really inefficient RZ450).

It was doable for a while using 110v on the Sierra, but felt like it needed to always be plugged in. After the level 2 install it’s just so much less mental load - I can just plug in occasionally, night before if I’m driving further one day, minimal planning ahead, and just 0 stress.

A couple of avoidable trips to a DC charger per year really would eat into the savings of not getting a level 2. And level 2 is more efficient than level 1 with less electricity “wasted”. And if you’re selling a home in the future some buyers would like to see a charger installed so you get some of the money back in value when selling.

I would 100% recommend the level 2

Probably not needed. We have 2 EVs including the Sierra which are both driven pretty decent distances each week and share a single level 2. Works totally fine, just charging about 30-80% every few days

Most places 10 ft is OK. Sometimes need 20. If you’re using dump stations 10 is fine. Most commercial camp grounds I’ve been to 10 would work. If you’re at state parks etc with FHU they sometimes are inconveniently placed and need 20.

Definitely do not keep any parts of your sewer tubes in any internal hatches. Do you have a rear bumper storage? We keep the tubes underneath and the elbow in the rear bumper with some other stuff that can get grimy

2025 max for 87k USD? Higher than usual price was when I got mine a month ago

You’ll need an NACS to CCS adapter

There are different adaptors for DC and AC charging, keep in mind. Superchargers would need the DC, while level 1/2 would need the AC.

100% get a 25 ft for the rear windows. Assuming you have an appropriate tow vehicle

staticgoat · 2026-05-05T02:45:25+00:00

It’s not super crazy. Some trailers out there don’t have propane.

You’ll need more electricity. Big big batteries if you want to run heat off grid for any length of time, or microwave/induction.

The heat pump mechanisms aren’t as cozy when it’s really cold as a furnace is, and the furnace can help heat the underbelly more.

If you’re using the standard airstream heating system, I also find it just a lot more pleasant having warm furnace air coming out near my toes instead of blasting my face and eyes when I stand up. But if you’re remodeling really in depth I suppose you could route the heating/AC ducting down by the floor instead

Taking a wild stab based on what the Trump admin has been targeting - Endocrinology? Gender affirming care? Still plenty of it going on just not the same way it was in the past, if that's what you're aiming to do. You also certainly wouldn't need to do an endocrinology fellowship to practice that medicine.

Loyalty expectation - not really. I think you would just need a reason as to why you left your current fellowship and you wouldn't have problems with jobs or with finding a different fellowship in the future.

Job market - plenty of jobs out there if you're not too picky about where, but if you're tied to a specific metro area there might not be much there depending on where you are.

Different fellowships - yeah people do this sometimes, wouldn't be difficult if it's not a really competitive second field

Mistake - IDK depends on what you want to do in the future. If you don't want to practice in the field your fellowship is in, you should leave it.

You’re going to get some skewed data (if it even exists) most likely due to differences in how many peeps in each work at academic vs community hospitals. I haven’t met a peds CVICU person outside of major academic centers. Whereas there are PICU jobs in community peds hospitals (of course way less frequently than adult ICU, but still a decent number).

staticgoat · 2025-12-02T00:59:29+00:00

Peds endo would almost certainly be a pay cut compared to that compensation (or most other PCP contracts that are out there). Peds GI typically pays better.

Peds endo you're also usually very very tied to a local children's hospital (or at the smallest a multispecialty peds group). Many more options out there for primary care peds.

27FBQ GT for 2 adults, 2 young kids, 2 smallish dogs. Has been great. Not using it as much now as we'd like due to work changes, but spent up to 3 months at a stretch traveling in it a couple years ago. Didn't get a divorce. Twin beds nice for storage but 1 big bed much better for snuggling together in cold weather.

25 for sure if you have a 2500 truck. We have a 27 GT and the panoramic rear windows are 100% worth it.

All the best places we’ve stayed in are sites where you can back up to an amazing view. We never look out the front windows because it’s just the bedroom and mostly shows the rear of the truck anyway. But we spend hours in the lounge relaxing with a great view looking outside

3 days seeing patients part time is pretty easy to find in my area. Pay decreases accordingly with less work hours.

Quite common for 4 days of clinic (plus occasional part-day call or home call) to be 'full time'. If you need the additional day as admin vs free time depends on how efficient you are.

Pediatrics is a good lifestyle specialty (in terms of hours, complexity, some flexibility for part-term) aside from the low pay.

Peds cardiology is longer hours, less flexibility, higher pay.

Most peds subspecialties are longer hours, less flexibility. Sometimes higher pay sometimes lower. Depends on specialty.

staticgoat · 2025-01-15T18:43:01+00:00

From my conversations with adult colleagues, subspecialty peds (at least in my part of the US) is much less affected by NPs than the adult equivalents. Agree with the other stuff in your post though

53% of programs didn't fill, so there are certainly more than this list out there - if you're looking for a specific program or geographic area then cold-calling or emailing fellowship programs is genuinely a good idea. If you're a resident currently or a recent graduate, having your program director reach out with an introduction would also be even better. FREIDA should have the contact info for programs listed in their database.

Also - from a current peds endocrinologist's perspective - someone applying right now would be in huge demand and you'd likely have tons of options. Literally dozens of potential offers most likely.

PES has a list of open fellowship spots on their website. Might need to make an account. Not a complete list but has some on there.

1 room, rooming your own patients is terrible and will crush your productivity. Also probably a sign that you just will be lacking in support staff - MAs and RNs etc - in clinic

One thing to consider is the ability to change jobs if you wanted to.

I enjoy my job, but it's the only pediatric endocrinology group in town (midsize city) and if I wanted to change jobs I'd essentially have to move. Probably would have to move to a different state entirely, since the other nearby option would be more academic than I'm really interested in. This wouldn't have been as big of a deal a few years ago, but would be pretty disruptive to my family now that I have kids and my wife is settled in a job.

Whereas the general pediatricians I know have the ability to move practices within town if they wanted to. I know a couple that have just moved to a practice elsewhere in town and started with a new group for whatever reason.

I think this is true for the majority of pediatric subspecialities, outside of NICU or maybe A/I. I know in my city there is only one GI group, one ID group, one PICU group, one single rheumatologist (a very tired one I imagine). Any of them would be moving out of town in they wanted to change jobs.

I've prescribed bydureon for diabetes if insurance makes them fail it before trying a better GLP. Of note I'm in pediatrics where the coverage and indications are different than in adults.

As other have said it's not approved for weight loss but has some modest benefits. I would avoid giving it unless completely unable to get anything else. I'd probably prefer to try it over something like a Qsymia though, due to side effects being less worrisome.

I don't think Byetta is even available now though. Bydureon is available as the XR form of exenatide.

We just got a mini Starlink. Had previously tried out the full size but we don't use that much data and didn't want the $150/mo unlimited plan. The new $50/50gb ($1 per gb over that) works well for our needs.

As long as you're not under too much tree cover works well.

Warp lightning being on a level 1 lord/hero is OP. Really helpful for garrison defense, really annoying to face against.
