Actually participate in this with photo realistic graphics in virtual reality. VR graphics look horrible for now. With regards to bucketlist stuff, from most soon to furthest: Beat Elden Ring Break all powerlift PRs one more time before age prevents this Break 5km, 10km, 25km, then 40km...

I can swim but not fast. A couple years ago, this tiny Asian girl nearly half my weight challenged me to swim. I knew she has technique, but I could just bruteforce via strength right? I Just made waves like a handicapped whale and the tiny girl completely destroyed me lol

Missed this post earlier on and reread it with mimico's quote.... Just wanted to say I found this out too. Deadlifting 400+ isn't gonna do **** for riding aside losing mobility lmao I remember trying to balance riding + heavy lifting, and it hit a point where both robbed each other of gains lol

Thanks actually! I need another pair because I've put waaayyyy too many in these (25s) and am about to use my 26s

lets be honest here.... it's more likely a bunch of the regular mask wearer's look like pimple faced teenagers due months of prime pimple growing environment on the face (aka. masks lol.)

There's a pretty good one on Yonge and Eglinton. X rays were in the same building so the doc would order an x ray and talk to me right after. Most places have extremely inefficacies though.

So...I apologize for double downing on the remorselessness but I've been dying to have this conversation for a while with somebody level headed: I know many are incompetent with money. I figured that out in 2008 and have since made money via the opportunities that, those without buffer...

I don't know the details but apparently we offset costs of med to pharmacy here Now, if you're talking about biologics, which is heavily hinted by "specific medication to keep her alive", these were the drugs I mentioned earlier in the thread that will hit you with $10,000+ (probably more tbh)...

I'm guessing getting hired requires more paper work in this case and the company must REALLY like you to want to do this? lol e.g. get hired as a contractor via business I make to my current job, somehow negotiate benefits and stuff so it's still full time employment but not really on paper...

@nobbie48 I'm legit curious about how you feel regarding the fact that most millennials and younger do not have pensions or RRSPs so we have to make our own investments and plan accordingly. As a result, some of us (including me) have zero empathy for the situation you're describing because...

I'm not sure the exact situation he's in, but if he can find someone he trusts, train, then pay them, it leads to more $/h. This eventually leads to a whole business btw, which has tax evasion mechanisms (aka. legal ways to save ton of monies.) Problem is finding someone that's trustworthy and...

My doc frds I met at premed before I got booted out of university... ...not one of them thinks they're paid enough for what they deal with. I'm really empathetic because during my riding phase, they were legit suffering through med school. Their training is designed to mentally break them; it's...

They never do... I think this is why ppl get jaded, and at some point (with age), some hit a "**** it, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" mindset because it's just easier lol Textbook IT scenario (happened to a provincial health care system, I forgot which one): "lets upgrade security!" Too...

Wouldn't it be nice if most things worked like this instead of ppl pretending to be heroes after? =) Nicest doc I've met literally joked w/ me via "go break it again, and 'I'll fix it." I'm usually the one to hold and engage the conversation via saying stupid **** and making ppl laugh; there...

I think gen z, and whatever gen after that is more comfortable with therapy. Millennials < x < boomers likely have increasingly negative views (if we could quantify the age group average attitudes) due to upbringing. That might be why they treat GPs like therapists. I know, they will get...

I'm on the other end of this story wise.... It's not entirely due to minor issues. Old folk have a tendency to blabber because they're bored, I get it, it's gonna happen to me as well. The problem is, that young doctor/surgeon/audiologist/whatever is not a therapist and wants the patient to...

I've fired my dentist for this before. Tbh I don't care if they want to maximize me to make profit. I start caring when their actions waste my time however, which is that exact "6 cavities" scenario....damn ********.

Yeah...it's the same in the drug world. There are even algorithms for "compassionate scenarios" (aka. free) but it's not actually free most of the time (patient doesn't pay, money comes from something else.) When I was a student, with student coverage, the dentists waived anything not covered...

I'd like for them to redo the entire doctor billing system tbh. Among my doc buddies, there are two distant personalities: pure altruistic (chances are, less years worked), and pure pragmatism (more likely with years 5+ in field, and with an amount of jadedness.) What I've learned from the ones...

I forgot about physio and chiro. I guestimate I've spent at least $5,000 over 7 years on both; don't know because insurance. Thanks for posting that for everyone. I went private for that reason lol I am almost certain the scenarios you are referring to are covered by insurance or government...
