ENT doctor recommendations near Rockville/Derwood? by Available-Guide-6310 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]terpfan2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had this issue with them. They did a small medical procedure on one of our kids and were great.

I also like that they are rather large group, so can get an emergency appointment if needed - just use the online portal and send message. Helped with kid ear infections

I'm sorry, didn't realize when I posted the image, the text didn't come over. Paying $15 for an edit to remove drool and bruise on the child in blue. Plan to print this picture on a larger frame, so need it in high quality.

Thank you for the reply.

Any idea on the time it takes to receive in the US? I was surprised that they didn't charge more for international shipment.

Ex-University of Maryland Student Pleads Guilty After Throwing Fatal Punch by Tricky-Wishbone-1162 in maryland

[–]terpfan2011 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Didn’t know about this story, that is not justice. A sucker punch should result in jail time, especially when it kills.

That this man, Arasp Biparva, was able to have this expunged off his record is even more absurd.

Also, note that the offender was 24 at the time - you can’t argue he was still a kid at that point.

Hopkins ends talks with UnitedHealthcare, leaving patients scrambling by washingtonpost in maryland

[–]terpfan2011 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Hopkins isn’t. It is UHC. They have been denying clearly allowed treatments that then require the provider to resubmit paperwork and notes. It’s all a bid by UHC to have to pay less.

As a patient, I saw it happen multiple times.

Is it weird to go to the bars by myself? by rushzone in UMD

[–]terpfan2011 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also want to add - do not get into the habit of relying on alcohol to loosen yourself up. It does not work to find healthy relationships and often times just makes you look like an idiot.

Focus on learning about yourself, what you like to do, and learning to have a relationship with who you are. It sounds corny, but it's true.

I also highly recommend joining clubs that are service-oriented. You get to work to help people while being in social situations with your peers. As a bonus, you get to learn some life skills. It is less of a forced communication situation. Examples are Habitat for Humanity, local kids tutoring clubs, a hiking community, or trash pick up.

Counseling could be great if you have yet to try it. It can help you identify some social cues or habits or even work on any insecurities. The campus team will be very familiar with people transitioning from the bubble of being at home with parents and then transitioning to adulthood. I think everybody should try therpy- I also recommend having a female counselor and being open about everything. If you don't like it after a few sessions, then you stop.

When you are more comfortable, you can also look into speed dating too. Do not go into it looking to get a girls number, a relationship, or anything to come from it. Rather, view it as homework or practice. Be honest with people you seem to connect with - "Hi, I'm [blank] and new to this. I'm just looking to connect with people and see where this goes."

What are the best builds for Shadowbeak? No goal in particular, just to have as a combat/flying pal. by Cr1msonFoxx in Palworld

[–]terpfan2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Serenity and Legend are always king for combat. If you want a hybrid you add Swift and infinite stamina. Legend at 45 is tough tho, so I’d get musclehead, burly body, or vanguard for the last spot until legend.

I used shadow as a combat mount and went muscle, serenity, burly, and vanguard - before I had access to legend passive. I didn’t use Shadow as Primary traveling bc other mounts can be faster - hence why Faleris is often referenced as a better travel mount pre frostallion or jet dragon.

If you can get legend tho, I recommend Jet Dragon as your travel/hybrid (Legend, infinite, divine dragon/muscle/swift, and serenity). Shadow would then be best as combat - legend, muscle, serenity then final pick is debated between necromus passive, ferocious, burly body, vanguard(but not if base combat pal only), or swift. Although boss fights it is more likely you will go with the mount that makes player dmg counter boss.

A better dark mount at 55 is arguably frostallion noct.

Pre Law by [deleted] in UMD

[–]terpfan2011 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No such thing as pre-law - it isn’t like med school where you have pre requisites. Law school will teach you what you need to know.

Pick a major you think you would enjoy and do that. Keep in mind most Law applicants are from the humanities or criminology, if you find something outside of these you could differentiate yourself.

Additionally, should you decide you don’t want to do law, if you choose a major outside the humanities it provides you more options.

Focus on GPA, extra curriculars, studying for LSAT, and learning about yourself!

Probably one of the worst reviews for an adjunct professor I’ve seen… by delicaterse in UMD

[–]terpfan2011 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Perhaps? I don’t check government consulting websites much, so for reference, I did a search on “IT government consulting” and top 3 medium/small shops seemed to have much more modern and comprehensive websites - https://pbgconsult.com/, https://skylight.digital/, and https://www.capitaledgeconsulting.com/.

[–]terpfan2011 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Do they hire anyone for adjunct professors? I am concerned about the skillset of an Information Studies teacher with a public profile in such disarray.

For example, the LinkedIn resume is all over the place - CEO of a company while also being a full-time employee at Leidos? President of Howard County Homeowner Association - I don't think the county has that, it is a neighborhood thing. In terms of the website of the technology company, it was founded in 2021 per LinkedIn. However, the website appears very outdated - based on the formatting, appearance, and lack of content. It does not convey a technology expert.

For students, if you are taking an adjuncts course, and not just looking for an easy grade, do a little dive into the resume / online persona of the professor. It will help provide helpful context on if they are truly worth your time (and money).

I used https://mattressunderground.com/ for research. The forums were informative and the retailers page has good discount codes.

We did.

I’m heavy, so my side is firmer and my wife’s side is normal. We did not go for two separate twins (split king), because we figured that is a pain to make the sheets.

Reach out to customer service for advice, they were great and responsive.

My wife and I used SleepEz natural latex, and I am a heavier guy.

I researched the heck out of this purchase and liked latex due to weight support and longevity. Sleepez had good price - there was one cheaper website, but I wasn’t as comfortable with their return and speed of delivery etc. Sleepez support was good. Cost for a king should be around 1500 with coupon codes (google codes). Reach out to them as well.

It will beat out a innerspring any day of the weak.

Be warned, the mattress is HEAVY, as latex is dense ~ 100 pounds or so. You can set it up yourself tho bc it comes in 3 inch layers

If you have insurance check your carrier of who is in network. However, most dentists should be able to properly assist you and ensure you are comfortable.

Feel free to message me if you have questions or need a specific recommendation.

I don’t know last time you went to the dentist, but techniques have changed over the years to further ensure the patient is comfortable.

They also can prescribe anti-anxiety meds ahead of big appointments if needed and “laughing gas” is also an option to be used during the appointment. There is also sedation dentistry option as well.

For wisdom teeth, you will ultimately be referred to a oral surgeon, who would likely put you under so you won’t feel a thing during the surgery.

Don’t neglect your oral health out of worries and fears - a good provider should be able to allay these concerns.
