Hey everyone,
I'm still pretty new to the whole world of storage drives, and I'm trying to wrap my head around the differences between SSDs (Solid State Drives) and HDDs (Hard Disk Drives). Specifically, I'm curious about how their speeds compare. Can anyone break it down for me?
As far as I understand, SSDs and HDDs are both used to store data on computers, but SSDs are supposed to be faster. But I'm not quite sure what that means in practical terms.
So, how does the speed of an SSD compare to that of an HDD? Are we talking about seconds, minutes, or something else entirely?
I've heard that SSDs can boot up your computer and load programs much quicker than HDDs, but I'm not sure how much faster we're talking about.
Additionally, what factors influence the speed of SSDs and HDDs? Is it mainly the type of drive (SSD or HDD), or are there other factors to consider?
Lastly, is speed the only thing I should consider when choosing between an SSD and an HDD, or are there other factors to take into account as well?
I'd really appreciate any insights or explanations you can offer. Thanks for helping out a newbie like me!

Hi random question! One of my biggest feature requests for this is development programs/contracts. The current game lets you “sponsor” upcoming drivers but doesn’t really work the way it does in real life. Like if Bearman signs with an F1 team for the following season, he should be at Haas, not at the mercy of whoever has an open seat.
I’m wondering if we know if this is something being discussed to be added? I don’t care so much for the new team feature tbh, but think this feature would be cool.

I’m adding ligatures to a monospace programming font. For example greater_equal is a double wide glyph that replaces >= via a substitution rule in the liga feature.
It works great except that it only takes up one cursor position. I can’t put the cursor in the middle to insert a new character in between.
This works with other programming fonts so I must be doing something wrong. How can I control the caret or cursor position in a multi-character ligature?
Thanks!

TL;DR - Looking for suggestions on getting a senior advice on financial supports and just generally making sure they're getting support as needed.
Greetings, I'm wanted to see if anyone else had dealt with this issue in the Vancouver region and had region specific suggestions. BC and Canada centric suggestions are obviously welcome too, feel free to state the obvious as this is a new situation to me.
Backstory is that I have an elderly neighbour with no family, kids, or any relatives to help keep an eye on her as she gets older. She's not senile or anything of that nature but she's very, very "old world" in that her deceased husband took care of everything major for her and she never even learned to read & write in English when she immigrated back in the... well a long time ago.
She commented about being "flat broke" the other day due to increased food costs and I found it heartbreaking, she's a nice old lady just trying to live in her old lady house near me.
I've been helping her keep up with basic stuff like changing the light bulbs and other basic house stuff but I don't feel it's my place to pry into her finances and even if I were welcome I'm not qualified and really don't think I have the time needed to do a proper job of it. Likewise I doubt she wouldn't welcome the help.
I've seen a few cases of her just not understanding the modern world and getting taken advantage of; like paying $600 to have an ancient air conditioner repaired when I would have just tried to get one through the seniors low income program, and other stuff like that. Not scams, just not understanding the best way to go about things.
Anyways, advice is welcome, or a pointer to a more appropriate sub-Reddit if needed.

so I haven't used Hugo in a few months now. I am running ver 0.122 which I am pretty sure I was running 6 months ago. I wanted to make a new site using Hugo, but when I run "Hugo new theme myTheme" it creates all the proper folders and files, but it also prepopulates all my pre-made files with garbage I don't want. Like for example it comes with a menu that just lists all my pages and a bunch of of other defaults and partials. The real confusing one though is I have a file that gets made directly under the "_default" directory called "home.html" and it of course has code already in it, but it appears to have never been called on any of the other pre-made pages and I can find no information about it online. So my questions are:
1) how can I generate a theme with all the folders and necessary files with no pre-made code inside of said files.
2) has this always happened? I'm running Hugo on a Debian 12 machine through Homebrew. It's the only program I have ever installed through Homebrew and I don't recall running commands in Homebrew since installing Hugo. I swear in the past I was able to simply do what I want. I went back and watched some old tutorials I know I watched and they never passed any flags and got perfectly empty directories. So what is causing this? I also tried creating a whole new site and same thing happened.

Hey everyone, fresh college grad here. I am a little confused as to which MBA programs will be best suited for me and which industries I’ll have the best chances of breaking into post-MBA. I would appreciate if you fine folks could take some time to go over my profile, or at least what I expect it to be within 3 years.
Existing profile:
Engineering grad from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (Top 5 in the country, <1% acceptance, I guess good image among M7 and other adcomms given the number of interview calls my alums get) and masters in entrepreneurship from the same institute (5 year dual degree program).
GPA (scale of 10): 8.2 CFA Level 1, FRM Level 1 (gave level 2 yesterday) 1 research paper published (co-author) in the domain of climate finance 1 patent filing for a proprietary smart safety helmet for underground coal miners. Adequate involvements in extracurriculars, clubs, competitions, etc.
Did my recent summer internship in a risk team at Aladdin Financial Engineering, BlackRock. Worked in fixed income backtesting, performed well, got a PPO. Joining full time next month and will be working in portfolio optimisation, a brand new vertical for my team. Other experiences include research internships at a couple reputed Indian BSchools and some derivative valuation and risk assessment work for another MNC.
A lot of my batchmates were trying out for deferred MBA programs in their final year so I gave GMAT too, just to get a feel. Gave a couple mocks without practise (740/750) and then gave the exam and got 730. I wasn’t serious so I didn’t hire a counsellor, especially coz they cost a year of tuition+hostel/food worth of money for 10 applications. Applied at IESE and Booth then gave up as I ultimately decided that I didn’t want to go to the States due to personal reasons.
What I think I definitely will have within 3 years:
CFA and FRM charters 2-3 years of volunteering experience, hopefully even some PoRs, as I will be continuing my stint at the local chapter of the Rotary Club. (Have been involved since I was 14, absolutely love those folks and the work they do) And WorkEx lol
Of all the post MBA options, venture capital seems the most alluring to me. Syncs well imo with my postgrad and after talking to alumni in the industry, it seems I would enjoy the work. Personally IB is not for me and I absolutely despise management consulting. Geographically, I would love to work in Europe and the Middle East. Open to study anywhere except the Americas.
I would love to hear from you guys regarding my profile, how I can add to it and make it more structured over the next few years because let’s face it, it’s a hot mess right now. LBS/INSEAD have always been at the top of my list but I don’t know all the granular details about LBS and INSEAD seems to be an exclusive labour provider for MBB 😂. It is my first post here, so hope I’m not violating any rules. Thank you for taking time to read this mundane post, hope you have a blessed day!

New to emulator, is there a way to program a single button press that initiates firing weapons in sequence??
I see YTs do it and wonder how they move, target and fire 6 weapons (dagon) in sequence continuously?

Like the title states, I'm wondering if this is doable and/or common at all. I feel like I was so desperate to get accepted to a PhD program. However, now in, I cannot find a lab to specifically line up with my research question or one that has funding. My work is quite capable of getting funded, especially as a seed grant or something, but the issue is finding a home lab. Should I continue to reach out to labs to collaborate in an interdisplinary approach of my interest, or consider something else? Thanks in advance!

Here is the recommendation for the laptop I would need. I am looking at Asus but if there is any other recommendations for this then I would love to hear it. Most would be 2,000 for this laptop. Recommended Specifications Multicore Intel I9 or similar Ryzen CPU 16 to 32 GB of RAM An SSD (solid state drive) hard drive of at least 512GB A good stand-alone graphics card with on-board memory; an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070, or comparable AMD alternative are a good choice the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 card is more capable, but expensive for a novice system. A monitor resolution of at least 1080; ideally 1920×1080. Students tend to purchase HP, Lenovo, Apple, or similar devices. Desktop PCs often provide more value than laptops, though will require the purchase of a monitor. A good warranty is important for all devices We do not recommend spending significant amounts of money on a computer as an incoming first year student. Many students opt to upgrade devices during the program. Appropriate computers are available for $1,500-$2,000, though many students also have success purchasing official refurbished devices Generally, a computer that plays video games well, will be appropriate for making games.

I am in desperate need of advice and honesty. Thank you in advance to anyone who can help. I absolutely love and am so passionate about veterinary medicine. I’m a non-traditional applicant who started pre-requisites after graduating with my bachelor’s while working full time as a tech for 4 years now. I have over 6,000 hours of experience in small, ER, large, and exotic. I feel as though I’ve done everything in the book, just a lower GPA (but I’ve seen people with even lower GPAs get in). I’ve been rejected two cycles in a row. Not even waitlisted.
I’m at a point where I don’t know what to do now. In a way I feel like this field has completely ruined me. I’m broke having worked as a tech for four years. I put myself into more debt by paying for pre-reqs and applications. I’m single. My body hurts but I have crappy health insurance. I work way too much and still struggle to pay my bills. I’m 28 years old and all my friends are established in their careers, getting married, starting families…I feel so behind and absolutely lost. I know for certain I am going to have to leave my tech job in the next few months and get a job outside of vet med because I am struggling financially.
I’ve worked so hard and sacrificed so much to become a vet. But rejection after rejection is making me resent the field and honestly burning me out and making me not enjoy going to work anymore. I’m not as excited about cool surgeries and cases coming in anymore. I’ve become incredibly irritable at work and feel like I’m going nowhere in the field now. I’ve hit a wall. Did I really just waste four years of my life post-grad and put myself into such a terrible financial situation for nothing but rejection in return? Applicants doubled from last year. So will they double again next year? I’m torn between whether I should apply again. I can only afford to apply to my in-state if I did try again, but they’re so competitive. Application reviewers suggest I get a masters but I do not have the money to do so, and that doesn’t guarantee my admission anyways. I’m struggling to find a new job because there’s nothing else I want to do than veterinary medicine, but unfortunately passion doesn’t pay bills.
Is it time to move on with my life and leave the field I love so much behind?

 The necropolis was gorgeous, for what it was. Its white outer walls hiding the darker Victorian Gothic interior. The tech that was hidden in the walls though was able to move bodies in their caskets from a designated place in the necropolis to the "viewing area" as the necropolians called it. This was where I waited for my, for lack of a better term, escort to take me to the mortuary. Since science has grown surprisingly fast our abilities for forensic sciences have also grown, and that's to whom I was headed. (S)He was an, unusual (wo)man to say the least. An expert in their field and about as learned as a doctor, if not multi-doctorate. If you ever asked them why they never pursued an actual doctorate, they would get angry and act all prissy while saying that going to school would've slowed them down and all they needed were the basic certificates for their work. The reality though, revealed to me during a drunken bout, they just never liked school and believed that it ultimately stunted a person's growth and ability to question the reality around them, that everything that you need to learn is already in books and in some form or another in digital content online. They were brilliant, if a little wacky. About five minutes after I had arrived and was sitting down in the viewing area, a little box rolled up to me making a couple of beeps to let me know to follow it and immediately started rolling towards the wall opposite of where it came from. When it looked like it was about to hit the wall, a hidden door opened up by the casket viewer, inside was a set of stairs leading down into the darkness. Stepping through the doorway I became acutely aware of sounds seemingly coming from all around me suddenly. It really is impressive, as though I just stepped from a tomb to a busy workshop, the sounds of gas escaping pistons, whirring, and clanking chains flooded my ears. I continued down the stairs following my helpful little box, which despite its size and shape would suggest was actually quite nimble on the stairs. It seemed to have wheels that would extend down to the next step as the edge rolled over it and once the back of the box was clear of the step it would drop back into its squat position, hiding its wheels as quickly as possible. It continued to do so the entire way. The box seemed to notice me watching it and made a kinda shrill whistle and its undercarriage light went from a comfortable yellow to a, is that... Peach? Is it blushing? My god I think it is! I let out a small chuckle and my little blushing box stopped dead in its tracks mid-step, its light suddenly going white, almost blinding me from behind and lighting up the hallway for a split second. Luckily both of my feet were solidly on a step so I didn't take a tumble or anything, but I couldn't help doing anything but laughing harder. 

After a second the little box crept up behind me and continued down, its status light continuing to show pinkish. I followed it slowly, the chuckle slowly dying in my throat as we reached Ceriths office. Well "office" was being nice. Morgue, mortuary, both of these fit just as well. Cerith was, for the most part, a recluse. We reached the door and the little robot continued through a little hole in the wall. I waited a second and knocked. "Enter!" Came the voice on the other side. I opened the door and stepped through. Along one wall set doors that normally housed the dead waiting to be processed. One out of dozens were open, its occupant missing from its silver slab. The middle of the room was brightly lit from a single overhead light. In the middle of the circle of light stood a figure, long Raven colored hair bound in a single braided ponytail, the rest of them bound in medical examination garb. They seemed to be engrossed in the corpse in front of them. The little robot rolled up next to Ceriths feet and made a little chiming noise. "Thank you Tabitha. That'll be all," said a voice that was neither male nor female from beneath the mask. Just sort of in the middle. "Tabitha? Never knew you to be sentimental," I said gently, the chuckle in my voice making itself clear. "I see you still find even the darkest things funny," Cerith quipped back. "My line of work Cer, you take the laughs where you get them. Look who's talking anyway, you're usually elbows deep inside someone 25/8. Even you have a seriously fucked up sense of humor." That got Cerith laughing, sounding like thunder and the whip crack of lightning at the same time. "You've got me there Julius," Cerith said after his laughter subsided. I think he suits him today. Which is both a good and bad sign. When Cerith is acting like a man, it usually means some grim news, but they are going to try to make it seem like not a big deal and laugh a lot. Plus they almost never call me Julius. Something was wrong. Very seriously wrong. As this realization hit me I got this odd tingle in the small of my back. Like someone had put several freezing needles under the skin and into my spine, something I'm familiar with from the anima-games from the cyber sphere. Halos: Divine Retribution If I remember right. Those Angels were sadistic bastards. I shuddered at both the memories from the game and the shockingly similar feeling I was experiencing. Dread, that feeling is dread my friend, the quiet part of my mind whispered to me. "Cer, what's wrong bud," I asked. He didn't say anything. For a long time. After a few minutes I was about to ask again, but then he spoke. And what came out will haunt me, quite possibly till the day I die. "This ones temporal lobes are gray matter. Nothing even close to being coherent. Just. Dead neurons. And he's not the first." Gone was the jovialness of the past ten minutes. This was Cerith the whisperer. In an almost dead tone they continued, "the others didn't fare nearly as well as this one. Most of the brain is intact here, which means that if they didn't deliver a massive shock or something similar to fully kill him he would have possibly lived as a vegetable with memory issues, but that's not what I'm looking for in this one here now. Now I'm trying to figure out what else the others had in common with him, and so far that's brought up all but naught. Well this one has a bit of liver damage. But that's about it. So Mr John was a drinker. Not much there." When Cerith is "whispering" the best thing to do is just let him be. But I couldn't help but prick my ears up at mentions of others with similar wounds, and the fact that this one had liver issues.... "Cer. You said... CERITH," I finally snapped out and caught his attention mid ramble. "Thank you. You said liver problems. But nothing similar to the others? No drugs? Alcohol? Not even a synth brain-pattern? You checked Everything?" "Well let's see, John here was a drinker that's for sure," Cerith said his hands never ceasing their work as he started to put 'John' back together seemingly satisfied that he found nothing else, " Mr Lombardo in chest 3 had cocaine mostly, and Mr Lei in chest 9 had opium. Although to tell you where it came from for both I'd have to do a molecular analysis and see what it compares to. Other than that, no. Absolutely nothing connecting any of them. As far as I can tell they are all unique cases completely separate from each other except for the damages to the brain. And I only found this by accident. During a routine scan I happened to look at the screen as it passed through the brain and noticed an odd density in his temporal lobes. Just slightly higher than normal. Hell to be honest with you it had the density of a fresh cutie, you know those little oranges?" I nodded, and he continued, "Right of course you do, who hasn't? Anyways it's just super dense compared to the surrounding tissues, and I take a sliver probe and drop it in like you do. And when I turn the damn thing on to look at the neurons the area all I see are dead cells packed on top of one another. Not natural decay death, but forced to die. Most of the cell walls were torn open like they had blown up from the INSIDE. That's when I called you." He finished up with 'John' putting the final few perfect stitches in place and sealing him up for good. Once he seemed happy with his work he called out to his seemingly empty morgue, "Grom I'm done! Can you put Mr John Doe here back in his room? Number 11 if you please." He turned away from the body on the table and removed the giant rubber gloves that went to his elbows. He walked into the dark calling out over his shoulder, "I'll be back in a sec I gotta scrub out, want a drink? I have beer, whiskey, vodka, I might have some Cognac somewhere, and bourbon. Your choice, just call out what you want and Tabitha will be there with it. Also have a seat! We have much to discuss." With that he disappeared from both sight and sound in the dark. It was a neat trick I have to admit, and it had something to do with how he had his morgue set up. Even the giant war machine that was Grom was absolutely quiet unless you managed to catch him through the gloom. I thought for the longest time the reason why I could never catch him sneaking around was from some sort of stealth program put into place, but when he goes up and down those stairs he's as loud as can be. So it was definitely not his program but the way the morgue was built. I'm confident in saying that because when I turned back to look at the table, or rather where it was, there was now a chair that looked like it had just grown out of the floor and the body was gone. Also the thought of something as big as a fridge just sneaking up on some poor combatants and snapping their necks as quietly as he walks in the morgue just gives me the heebies. As I sat in the chair a thought occurred to me. Considering how advanced the morgue seemed to be it would make sense that it had some sort of AI or integrated computer. "Computer?" I had been here a million times but I'd never had a chance to think about it nor try anything. But not even a second after I had said anything a response came. "Yes Detective Julius. My name is DANNA. Or Dynamically Actualized Neural Net AI. How can I be of service?" The voice seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere, slightly feminine and breathy, all service but no sex. Honestly I was just surprised that it worked. "DANNA, I was just wondering if I could take a look at the files that Cerith had mentioned? If it is as bad as they claim I think I might need to know anyway. Also if you can get those blood works done for me I'd appreciate it. Also something with whiskey or rum would be amazing." "Of course Detective. I will have Tabitha bring it shortly. And how would you like the information to be displayed? Desktop or dynamic?" That piqued my interest. "Dynamic please." No sooner than I had said a series of screens blinked into existence in front of me. It was some sort of Holographic display. I reached out and touched the display and was surprised that I got stopped by something. It was hard but surprisingly I found that I could push into the screen with my finger if I pushed hard enough. It kinda felt like... Oobleck. I also found that by pinching the corner I could pull the screens closer or further from me. I even found that I could grab individual pages of the reports off the screen and hold it. It felt like a thin sheet of plastic and responded like both a tablet and a singular document. If I switched pages the old one would appear back onto the screen and the next would pop onto it. This was about as slick a set up as I had ever seen and whistled my appreciation under my breath, I'm definitely going to have to ask Cerith about where they got DANNA from. "See something you like, big boy?" A very DEFINITELY female voice said in my ear from behind, soft and throaty, screaming come hither. I felt small dainty hands gently caress the tops of my shoulders before slipping down the front of my chest, pulling me back into the chair that I didn't realize I had been slouching in. "You know better than that, Jules. Your back is important and slouching will destroy the muscles and cause some to atrophy." The voice left no room for argument, and left me more than a little bit flushed. I closed my eyes and dropped my head back as far as it would go, the back of my head hitting something soft and warm, stretching my neck and back out. "Damnit Cer I thought you were scrubbing out, not completely changing." I hadn't realized it, but at least an hour had passed from when I started playing with the computer and working with the files if the clock on the computer was to be believed. "You looked like you were pretty into it so I decided not to disturb you. Plus you know how much fun it is for me to tease you like this. Especially after, well these..." One hand waved at the screens in front of me. The small hands' nails were painted the darkest black and almost made them blend into the void that existed outside of the screens. "I do Cer, and that's part of the problem, we both know that it's never going to happen. Least of all for you." She laughed a little, a clear beautiful sound and the body beneath my head bounced slightly telling me I was against her stomach. "Still I know you enjoy these little moments," she said, the pressure on the back of my head disappearing and was replaced by the voice right by my ear again as she whispered, "especially when we both know that's not at all true." At the last words she nibbled my ear gently. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her, in spite of my baser instinct rising to meet her VERY juicy insinuations. But for as long as I've known Cerith and as many times as we have both been VERY drunk, they have NEVER cashed in. I just assumed that it was a quirk of theirs. "Anyways," she said standing back up, "what are you thinking so far about the files? Spooky, right? Like I said, nothing that I can see connects them." Her hands gestured in front of me in an approximation of a shrug. She then clasped them together, wringing the knuckles and effectively trapping me in the chair and back against her abdomen. I scrubbed my eyes with my fingertips acutely aware of the growing headache that suddenly made itself known. "Your right from the medical side. I can't see everything you can, of course. I don't have near the knowledge that you have," which is true being that Cerith is at least 200 years old. I never asked directly, the old adage still holding about women and their age. Still though her answers to certain questions would lead one to believe her being her first adult car was a Bing Cherry 2201 Firebird GT with white walled hover trim and chrome accents. From pictures that I could find it looked like a slick piece. Looking back to the screens I couldn't help but feel that itch again. I couldn't explain it. That prickly feeling of ice needles again, this time in the back of my skull. As much as I'd hate to admit it. I think Cerith is right. I sighed heavily before saying "send me everything. I'll open a new case file and have the team start working on it first thing." She made a happy noise and bounced slightly, clearly satisfied with my decision to take it on. I reached out and to my left and a glass was placed gently into my hand by Tabitha. I hadn't even realized she had come over while I was working and was now ready for that drink. Room temperature rum and cola. The drink went down smoothly enough considering I drained the glass in one gulp, during which time I finally got a good eyeful of Ceriths current form. Or rather the underside of part of it. From what I could tell she was wearing a black T-shirt. That was it. I put the glass back down, it's job done without moving my head and said, "What a lovely view Cerith. I'm guessing you chose this to try to get a rise out of me?" I couldn't lie though it was affecting me, but I couldn't let her know that. Not when she's like this. Otherwise she'll continue to tease me till she leaves me with the absolute worst case of blue balls this side of the City. Her hands came up and cupped my chin almost lovingly, and her voice said "Of course Detective. Do you not approve? Or would you rather I change back to my medical examination form? Or something else?" Her words dripped with implied sex. I groaned, loudly, and said, "This is fine. Jesus Cer." Before we could continue our most scintillating of conversations there was a sudden PING! And DANNA said, "I'm sorry to interrupt, but there's a message for you Cerith. It says 'If you can get to the department Cerith, do so. We need you to explain your paperwork. And if Detective Julius is still with you have him come in too.' signed the Chief. Would you like to reply?" 'Shit, I forgot the morgue kills all signals,' I thought to myself as I stood up gently (regretfully) prying myself from Ceriths grasp with a, "duty calls. Need a lift?" I stretched gently, the scales in between my shoulders clicking appreciatively for the stretch, and turned around to notice she was indeed, just wearing a black T-shirt that hugged her voluptuous figure closely. The scales in my back clicked shut in surprise. Cerith let out a small cute chuckle, "I see after all this time I can still surprise you," she said blowing a kiss my way, reminding me of a little Gothic pixy. I rolled my eyes away from her and willed my scales to relax. I grabbed my jacket off the back of the chair, slinging it on and clicking the neck clasp shut under the cord that connected my scales to the unit in my head. I was awarded the cybernetics upon completing my training and getting all my licenses to have them. The force had allowed me to customize it, I had chosen top of the line. A dual unit with custom built AI. The individual scales were ceracoated titanium microprocessors all running in both series and parallel, and could move to expel heat or react. The main unit was the same except it was one solid unit that replaced a chunk of skull. Once that was done I zipped up the front of the leathers and ran the scales through the racer setting. They clicked and flattened against the outside of the jacket, securing it to my back. I shrugged making sure it was comfortable. "I'll take the fact that you're only in a t-shirt you'll be along shortly?" "Certainly detective." Her voice was filled with dismissive submission... And sadness? I looked back at her and noticed her makeup was gone. Or had she had any on in the first place? I gave myself a mental shake. There's no way. This was Cerith, veritable goddess of the necropolis. I put the last few minutes away for review later. Chief called. I have to go. On an instinct I thought long dead, I reached out and squeezed her hand. I felt a slight squeeze back. And then she let go with a, "Go on, be a good detective. I'll be along shortly." I left with Tabitha as my guide. Before Cerith disappeared into the darkness I thought I heard her whisper, "please don't leave." My scales raised in a saddened response. I couldn't be sure I heard her right though. If I heard her at all. I reached back and stroked them, knowing my ai probably heard her, and knowing it could feel me touch the scales. After a few seconds the scales settled down. 'I know buddy,' I thought to the AI. It couldn't respond like usual AI. The force thought that was too dangerous. What if it went rogue? What if it tried to kill the host and take over? The list went on and eventually they decided the basics were ok. When I got my unit one of the first things I did was jack it into a diagnostic to see what kind of hardware I was dealing with exactly because manufacturer specs from real use are sometimes different with AI if the bits and bobs are in place. When I did, all I got on the screen was 'Hello?'

When I met my partner I was slightly overweight, and have yo-yo’d in weight in the last 8 years we have been together. I am not concerningly unhealthy, I am more concerned about social stigma in the community. He is now beginning the process of applying to residency programs, and I can’t help but feel apprehensive about the culture of medicine and being overweight, as we are planning on trying to meet new friends in medicine when we move next year. I understand that there is a kind of cultural expectation for doctors to appear healthy and take care of themselves well so they have more patient trust. Does this standard seem to extend to the med spouses within the medical social community? I really want to make friends with my partners colleagues and their spouses, but I am so apprehensive about feeling like I am embarrassing him. My partner is very fit, and I’m also concerned about the prevalence of cheating in medicine and the idea that others think he could “do better” than me effecting his professional relationships or our relationship when residency is stressful. Has anyone had a similar experience or any advice?

In the year since David Grush (or maybe since the oentagon leaks) has come forward there has been a lot of new blood interested in the subject of UAP/NHI.
Unfortuantly while this has happened, a lot of previous no nonsense ufo/uap/nhi subs have gone downhill in their "content" and have been catering to conspiracies or simply have allowed any and all conspiracy around the unknowns of the phenomena a vocal chord.
While we are not completely disregarding of these theories. We do find it imparritive to have the facts before we can even begin a discussion on what the implications are. Disclosure and it's process is the first priority. A lot of us would like to see it in our lifetime and in the opinion of the sub discussing non verifiable theories about NHI won't get us there.
While the baseline for this sub is we are believers, we also like to take heed to Grushes accusations that there is a genuinely effective disinformation campaign surrounding the phenomena as a whole. And that the subject has been exploited by grifters or content makers who's only stake in the matter is to make money off of clicks.
A lot of fatigue has plagued many after being constantly bombarded with continuous video of balloons, tik tok edits and "UAP" with absolutely no observables and shoddy even shady camera work in other UFO related subs as well as uneducated guesses and uninformed content posts from personalities who have not been adjacent, worked on, or encountered the SAP's David Grush and other credentialed persons of interest have testified to.
We wish to give people a space to discuss the facts. Our determination for facts are simply that they are facts. If somone said something cite it. If something happened, give an article or news clips.
This is not a sub for posting videos or YouTube "content" exploiting the phenomena.
Since we are fairly new I won't make any demands other than your posts be related to disclosure, events identified by credentialed former military, intelligence, anyone who can be tied to having interacted, been adjacent, or testified to the programs alleged to congress by David Grush and others whom have not given public hearing but have been confirmed to have testified in any official capacity.
And be polite please. We want disclosure and one of the most damning thing about the subject currently is that the community is actively being pulled apart. The toxicity around the subject has become abhorrent with people taking on theories as fact, fighting over whether or not something is a genuine UAP or not. We already believe, another grainy video of something in the sky does nothing but muddy waters and cause discourse. The interest of this sub is what happens in court, what happens on paper, policies pushing for full disclosure. And the brave people who speak out about this subject from a credentialed stance.
Also skeptics welcome. Any and all debunking or fact checking is welcome as long as it's in good faith. Don't expect to rely on content creators to do the debunking for you though. They fall under the same umbrella as "content", will be accepted if they have an applicable experience (example: this guy said it could be this and he was a pilot for X years) it needs to be informed and not from a game developer turned self proclaimed skeptic who has never worked with the systems they attempt to "debunk"

Hello again,
New Grad ED nurse here, we get many overdosed patients especially opiates, or benzos, meth or ETOH intoxication, too many medications, &’ then you get the really interesting cases where a patient swallowed some lotion or any substance for “external use only” because they thought it was water.
My question is, when would you refer to poison control? During orientation &’ nursing school, I was told any of the cases above would warrant a call to poison control. Obviously for cases such as acetaminophen overdose or drinking unknown lotion, I would most definitely make the call. Additionally, most recently I had a fentanyl overdose patient come in. Me, under the impression that I had to call poison control for every overdose even if just to cover my ass, I called. Upon finding out, both a provider &’ fellow nurse both questioned my actions as unnecessary. When it came time to discharge, the patient remained drowsy but was AxO4. My thought process being that, if patients who receive morphine cannot wait in the lobby to be picked up per our hospital policy, then a fentanyl OD patient would be the same. This patient did not have anyone to pick them up, so I let them stay until I could figure out how to get them safely home. I was then told they didn’t need to stay and they could in fact wait in the lobby. To the experienced nurses here, what are the guidelines when referencing to poison control? What are the guidelines to safely discharging these patients without it coming back to bite you in the ass later?

After doing a lot of research for my brother I came across Deeerwalk Sifal school Aba reviews herds some are bad some are great Anyone who graduated or currently studying there? So I can know about it Feels like its more like a "richy" school where academics is just shit But it's better for those chill mfs who don't wanna study but still wanna score good marks Is it like that? He wants to pursue his +2 as a levels or IBDP in another institution So its just a matters or 2 yrs
The reviews-I am a student from here,and it is one of the worst in the valley, I suggest all new comers to not study in this school. They have biased teacher and also they forcefully make you volunteer in school programs. They try to extract as much profit from student as possible. They don't provide proper transportation even when it's the schools fault that we got late, Also their reading book thing is scam,they give us the books and charge on bill without providing the book receipt and charging more than buying from retailers.
Reviews-Worst school. They dont care about student. Their only goal is to extract as much profit as possible from student. Also they have something called reading book in which you will spend around NRs. 10-20K in one year only (the books are not related to the course). They are earning profit selling these books. These books don't provide any value to students. Also their finance department and all of their other department is worst. Take review from the students before you study in this school.
