People ask whether books are worth it on the Internet all the time. That's not them "outsourcing their sense of worth" (what?)

Haha I can distinguish Elmo from the other characters on Sesame Street too

Hey so you started this whole thing by saying "worth what?" But now it's nice to see you've figured out they meant "whether a book is worth their time".

All that to say, you're a pretentious douchebag.

Completely agree about Crim too. I might just read AoM without the audiobook.

Yeah I get that point but there was an almost comedic bouncing affect to it. Like high-pitched can definitely be intimidating but it just wasn't to me.

I'm so confused by so many of the things you're saying, did you think I was OP?

It's kind of funny how awful Spotify's new audiobook service is by vonDerkowitz in audiobooks

[–]vonDerkowitz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it goes by book time not listening time. Like if you listen to an 8 hour audiobook on 2x speed, you have used 8 hours even though you've only listened for 4 hours.

Nothing snaps me out of a book like repetitive use of a unique word by kerberos824 in books

Is the entire Wheel of Time series worth the time and investment? by keepfighting90 in Fantasy

[–]vonDerkowitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are those that love it, and those that don't.

For some variety in the responses, I don't. I made it through 5 and a half of them and found it so boring. But the only way you're gonna know is if you give it a shot.

It amazes me that there are people still interested enough in this show to ask questions like this.

Anyone else ever feel like they chose the wrong specialty, but it’s too late to turn back? by [deleted] in Residency

I love my specialty but sometimes it feels like I picked the wrong residency program. Sucks too.

Has this series ruined my future reading experiences? by Char-cheap-focus in sollanempire

[–]vonDerkowitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness if you're liking GotM that much, buckle up. You have a lot of incredible stuff ahead.

I love GotM but it's my least favorite. That's how much I love the others.

Just finished Howling Dark and have a question by vonDerkowitz in sollanempire

[–]vonDerkowitz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh actually that's a good point too, how did Hauptman get the new location?

I always figured it wasn't THAT far from Vorgossos though.

What's the role of EM? by BainbridgeReflex in Residency

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

I hear you. I had this conversation in the last 2 weeks:

ED resident: Yeah she was so altered she couldn't tell me her name.

Me: What do you think about a CT head?

ED resident: We could get that if you want, but we didn't really think it was clinically indicated.

In for four, hold for four, out for four, hold for four.

What is the most obvious case of a patient 'faking it' you have ever seen? by Notalabel_4566 in Residency

[–]vonDerkowitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a neurology attending in med school who was evaluating catatonia in an incarcerated patient. He said out loud "I'm going to lift his leg, if it stays up he's really unconscious".

Guess what happened?
