Drillevator is fun to ride and the jet boots 2.0 are great but….. no way. Team Doretta all the way.

Doctor here. 👋 I just wanted to give my experience. I had to do eight years of schooling/debt, THEN I had to do 6 years of post graduate training (internship, residency, fellowship).

Now the post graduate years are paid like a job but not at a physician salary rate so paying on student loans during that time was next to impossible for me because I was in a high cost of living area. So my interest continued to compound during that time. It sucked.

As for the OP I just want to say that part of the reason I expect a higher salary is because I gave up 14 years of my life - most of my youth - in training to get here. Those 14 years were immensely valuable and I often regretted going down this path because of all the things I gave up instead. The training was incredibly difficult and time consuming. I lost touch with all my friends, had to move repeatedly, etc. It was absolutely brutal and felt endless. That’s part of what those paychecks are paying for.

And given Trump’s proclivity for…. Not the truth, one can only assume this performance was after massive preparation.

Remember, it’s not just fun. It’s contractually obligated fun fun fun!

“I can maybe take a bullet or three” sounded like such over the top bravado I was hoping it was meant tongue in cheek.

Don’t get me wrong though I was just commenting on that sentence. I am not meaning to undermine your point about police and their (lack of) aim.

Holy smokes I had a bad gut feeling from the little I had seen of the game and some comments others have made but I had no idea the extent of the company’s depravity. Thank you so much for posting the videos these were very helpful.

Even if it ends up NOT being ankylosing spondylitis exactly - you should know that there are some hereditary factors that predispose to AS but also to other, similar conditions which are collectively called “inflammatory spondyloarthropathies.” Given your brother’s diagnosis you probably have a higher chance of one of these conditions because of your shared genetics. So yeah absolutely ask another physician until someone investigates your symptoms!

It’s really interesting to me that you have provided this additional clue because ankylosing spondylitis was literally the first thing that popped into my head reading your story. I agree with others that your story sounds much more than typical aging symptoms and you should seek the opinion of another physician.

Just found out today this is happening to my network attached storage device. With the latest update the company has removed previously included software used for watching movies as well as the codecs used for photos/videos from iPhone. So frustrating as these were selling points for the device and now it’s just gone.

Apparently posted a video about how to avoid ads on YouTube using adblockers, etc.

But how the information was presented matters, especially when people are unfamiliar with the topic.
