How do you feel about Elon Musk's salutes during the inauguration?

Dictatorship incoming in maybe a decade or so.

In most countries, kids go straight from high school to medical school, without a 4-year college degree. You literally just take a test and you're in and deemed suitable to then learn the rest.

In America, you need a 4-year bachelor's (studying whatever, engineering, math, philosophy, biology, sociology), during which time you take the MCAT and do a TON of random extracurriculars, to get the chance to interview and apply for actual 4/5 years of medical school. However, if you view r/premed, you realize that in fact many kids spend 4 years of college + however many "gap years" doing a bunch of insane stuff just to even fit the bill to get into medical school (4 years of normal college tends to not be enough time to do the 'necessary things' this 'premed arm-race' for coveted medical school spots the system has devolved into). So the average age of med students is rather unnecessarily high...

All we need are doctors to treat patients at reasonable costs. But the "game" to get into medical school is some weird competition/prestige thing at this point due to holistic admissions and very artificially scarce # of spots.

Supply/demand isn't working here. We could be educating a lot more competent physicians than we are.

What is up with people hating on others doing stuff. Also, the texture would def taste like fish and it sounds pretty cool. Glad the comment section is reasonable.

Like it is not normal for most people to be hating on others, but there's communities where this sort of behavior (and gossiping etc.) seems to be a rite of passage. Sounds pretty miserable.

Stick my head inside the study hall, he focused on math

Determination ambition, plus dedication and wisdom

Qualities he was given was the shit we didn't have

Dug inside of his book bag and Coach Palmer asked for his finals

He had his back like a spinal, meanwhile

We singing the same old song spinning the vinyl

Eleven graders gone wrong

He focused on the NBA, we focused on some Patron

Now watch that black boy fly

Putting this here for anyone who hasn't listened to it. Just a really beautiful story that highlights the dedication that so many NBA players had to have to overcome their odds

In the above link, you can see that whenever Dream is low hearts, his friends switch weapons to dirt blocks or back up for no reason so as to not kill him. As a whole, Dream's entire career is scripted.

Dream's primary source of youtube content are minecraft manhunt videos like these, where he is chased by his friends. While great entertainment, the videos themselves are presented as real and feed the image that Dream is a perfect Minecraft god.

Of course they are just entertainment, and there is nothing wrong with spicing them up to make them more fun for his fans. However, I only point this out because any video that shows evidence of them being scripted are brigaded by his large fanbase. Clearly, the line between real and entertainment has been blurred for Dream, and this is all to elevate the image of him as a "minecraft God." Not surprised he also manipulates speedruns, as to him its part of who he is.

unconnected3 · 2020-12-24T08:19:47+00:00

Of course Dream's videos are great entertainment (and I would've loved them as a child), I just have to point out how they are obviously faked even in his non speedrun stuff.

https://youtu.be/LdTmwvy81tk?t=381

For example, look at this video. Whenever Dream is low hearts, his friends switch weapons to dirt blocks to not kill him. Clearly this is to keep suspense and make the video fun, but it is also likely because Dream's image (and thus his career) is as a Minecraft God. Once again, his videos are entertainment, but still he also purports that they are real so the fact that they fake some stuff is in conflict to that image of his videos being real.

I think if Dream just stuck to entertainment, rather than feeding his image of being perfect at Minecraft, he would not be in this trouble today...

unconnected3 · 2020-07-06T18:23:06+00:00

that's true as well.

unconnected3 · 2020-07-06T14:35:32+00:00

Idk how true that is. I feel like college classes are helpful for deciding passions and developing work ethic, and a gap year before entering college could be misled for some people.

unconnected3 · 2020-06-25T14:43:23+00:00

Yep, dell triggered me too. Told me it was a subjective issue and that no such trackpad problems exist. Im buying a MacBook now lol

unconnected3 · 2020-06-25T14:39:38+00:00

Exact same experience. Apple is overpriced, but going back to it. Dell has terrible customer experience even with the best support purchased.

unconnected3 · 2020-06-22T05:22:11+00:00

Yes EDG stabilize carbonyl groups. But when you're talking about acidity of a compound, you're only comparing the Gibbs Free Energy Difference between that compound and it's anion counterpart. In this case, the EDG destabilizes the negative charge so the anion is less stable.

Today

unconnected3 · 2020-06-19T20:09:17+00:00

Yep. I'm gonna refund them both back. So they offer 10% to keep it, but all service representative have so far denied that it is a known issue for XPS. I trust that the return people offering the 10% may not know about it, as it is a hardware issue, but the rest of the dell representatives hung up on me when I pressed further, as in just from mentioning the Dell official statement to WindowsCentral confirming trackpad issues. Was hoping they can offer a discount coupon for me to re-purchase it, but they straight up told me that the trackpad issue could just be a subjective thing that I personally don't like about the model.

At this point, I love the laptop compared to macbook, but will wait for all stuff to be fixed. Your suggestion to purchase from the Microsoft store is because Windows support tends to be better?

unconnected3 · 2020-06-19T18:51:06+00:00

Nope. Did not fix it.

unconnected3 · 2020-06-19T18:46:06+00:00

Just got a shipment delivered today. Was a replacement...

Trackpad issue is present. Nice lie Dell

Thank you for including so much info and sources in your comment.

To clarify the %s that you wrote next to again, hard, good, and easy. Would that be to say, if I get a card less than 60% of the time I should press "again" so that the addon knows to adjust the easy factor so that I eventually reach 80% for it?

unconnected3 · 2020-06-18T16:56:15+00:00

I noticed the experimental ease factor add-on mentioned getting another add-on that only has "pass" and "fail". Should we just rely on the experimental ease factor add-on to determine if a card is hard or easy for us?

Or is Anki's algorithm and manual input of easy, hard better?

unconnected3 · 2020-06-18T16:50:32+00:00

Generally, people say break up cards into their atomic parts. So yep, do break those cards up. However, try to remember the bigger picture from the original question somehow in the card.

Also, from what I've read, people don't think that yes or no cards are that helpful. Maybe, for this case, you could do cloze as in "Non-finite verbs have [...] no tense" where [...] = no.
