[fatlittlepig]

I just checked, it’s the number one most downloaded app on the App Store. As you may or may not know, apple limits the access apps have to your data,...

[fatlittlepig]

?...

[fatlittlepig]

I don’t think apple would allow malware onto the App Store. I posted white coat investor’s picture because he’s much more handsome than me....

Discovered this cool app, check it out. If you don’t want to download it you can use it via the webpage newprofilepic.com...

Patient on OR table just before surgery

Doctor: Don't worry Jason. You can do this.
It's just an usual surgery.

Patient:...

how about yesterday...

Putin is like Hitler because they both attacked neighboring countries? hmm.. not quite.

I read this online (regarding hospitalists):
So I took my daughter to an ENT and he asked me if Hospitalists are “real doctors”. Further, he...

[fatlittlepig]

i wonder if the microstrategy guy is sleeping well....

[fatlittlepig]

ever hear of Godwin's Law ?...

[fatlittlepig]

it's behaving like a volatile tech stock (for now) which is somewhat disappointing....

[fatlittlepig]

Why should he feel bad. You do your own research....

[fatlittlepig]

Actually, naïveté is making the same mistakes over and over. Naive is thinking there is a military solution to our problems, (the losers end up being...

[fatlittlepig]

i was referring to the bay of pigs invasion (which helped lead to the missile crisis in the first place), and I never mentioned ISIS in my post....

[fatlittlepig]

After Vietnam, Korea, Lebanon, Cuba, Somalia, iraq 1 and 2, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria, isolationism all of a sudden looks pretty good....

American mothers are rationing baby formula and the congress with little debate is falling over themselves to approve 40B in aid to a country known for...

[fatlittlepig]

i personally would turn down any such contributions with that income. the savings rate seems low to me. i don't think it really matters with regards to...

[fatlittlepig]

I'm not a true believer, but I have enough where if it takes off i wouldn't feel like I missed out and if it goes to zero it would be ok....

[fatlittlepig]

low savings rate. and why would you need family contributions for the 529s....

[fatlittlepig]

i'm doing the cold storage thing now. BTW robinhood now has functioning wallets......

[fatlittlepig]

I think the bigger question isn't if it falls 85% but if it remains stagnant. You're a true believer, however I've learned over the years that anything...

[fatlittlepig]

I’ve always felt that the US should not guarantee the security of any country or state other than itself. Along those lines I don’t think we should...

[fatlittlepig]

I would rather we didn’t get into a indirect or direct military conflict with a nuclear power. I would limit our involvement to humanitarian aid and...

[fatlittlepig]

Our increasing involvement in this war is concerning and troubling to me. I think you can both condemn Russian aggression and also question the wisdom...

[fatlittlepig]

For highly compensated physicians, 20% for me would be a floor rather than a goal to aspire to....

[fatlittlepig]

Why would you buy a home that’s 1.5 hrs from your home....

[fatlittlepig]

At these high income levels the amount you spend shouldn’t necessarily increase in direct proportion to your income....

[fatlittlepig]

In my opinion someone making 400k should be saving more percentage wise than someone making 100k. Common sense....

[fatlittlepig]

I'm just saying that if I were in his position, I would feel behind (but that's just me). If I were him, I would live off half and save/invest the other...

[fatlittlepig]

You're not wrong but here's the way I see it: he's 38, household income of close to 400, has 250 in deferred and 50 in taxable, and he's saving 1500 a...

[fatlittlepig]

i kind of look at it this way: the "maxing out" of the 401Ks, Roths are basically the bare minimum mandatory savings. so from my perspective...

[fatlittlepig]

the fact that they haven't responded to your inquiries tells you all you need to know about the kind of clients they are looking for.

[fatlittlepig]

U are late to the game and have skimpy savings. Ramp up the savings.

[fatlittlepig]

Can u live off your salary and save/invest hers....

[fatlittlepig]

I’ll make a strained analogy, Dr Oz is like the white coat investor. He spends most of the show talking about benign and banal general health topics...

[fatlittlepig]

Yes he’s endorsed those supplements but he didn’t sell or profit from them, which is an important distinction and something that would have been much...

[fatlittlepig]

seems convoluted, why not just tell them they can't use facebook, snapchat etc....

[fatlittlepig]

so you're stipulating that he was directly selling supplements, care to back that up?...

[fatlittlepig]

This is a good example of “the narrative” and the media promoting “the narrative” being Dr Oz is a charlatan who constantly promoted dangerous...

[fatlittlepig]

I recommend installing the Life360 app. It’s a game changer for tracking your kids in real time....

[fatlittlepig]

Well said. Well said....

[fatlittlepig]

So a retired CV surgeon is no longer a doctor because you don’t like what he did after he retired....

[fatlittlepig]

Actually early on when we lacked treatments many were using hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin. I wouldn’t automatically chalk this up to politics....

[fatlittlepig]

So have you watched the show...

[fatlittlepig]

Regarding #2: Have you ever been sick in the hospital? When you’re scared it’s comforting to hear that kind of stuff. Regarding #3: if I didn’t...

[fatlittlepig]

uh OK....

[fatlittlepig]

call me a nuanced contrarian. everything is always more complicated than it's made out to be....

[fatlittlepig]

has anyone who is criticizing him actually watched his show? was every show promoting some naturopathic remedy or did some shows talk about early cancer...

[fatlittlepig]

just from what I've seen: financial advisors will charge you a percentage of your portfolio to put you into funds that have additional fees, they will...

[fatlittlepig]

with that kind of income there isn't much sacrificing that needs to happen to accumulate a huge amount of money. if you save and invest half you end up...

[fatlittlepig]

LOL people see some pretty #vanlife pictures on instagram and think it looks like fun. social media isn't real life....

[fatlittlepig]

I would repeat the antigen test....

[fatlittlepig]

sure we all have dreams and daydreams, then we return to reality.

[fatlittlepig]

Time to grow up, and put aside these wacky thoughts of living some romanticized nomadic life of trailer life with 3 kids. You can do that later. This...

[fatlittlepig]

I never watched his show, I assume some of the content was the standard encourage healthy living content and some of it was promoting alternative herbals...

[fatlittlepig]

Didn’t read the article. He did a lot of good in his life as a surgeon, I believe he developed the mitraclip. I wouldn’t say I have a 100% negative...

[fatlittlepig]

U need to chill out....

[fatlittlepig]

Is anyone here willing to admit to having covid fatigue and now total covid indifference? Vaccinate, accept that either you have already gotten it or...

[fatlittlepig]

yes, boosting a population at baseline minimal risk, to provide transient protection against a virus that they have already contracted seems quite unnecessary....

[fatlittlepig]

well that's assuming you're investing the 40K in the market, which is not necessarily the case in most instances.

[fatlittlepig]

generally speaking if you have the cash to purchase the shares I would just buy them and not deal with the financing. if you don't have the cash then...

[fatlittlepig]

The amount you’re saving per year isn’t enough to discharge the debt you took on to dig a hole in your backyard, so I would say no your not on the...

[fatlittlepig]

I would just cash flow it. It’s only 40K...

[fatlittlepig]

My understanding is that they intentionally price the shares to increase every year. I’ve never met a single person who can really explain this process...

[fatlittlepig]

This is the most common question I get and the answer depends on many factors. If you have to borrow to buy the full A/B/C shares I probably wouldn’t....

[fatlittlepig]

You pay back the principal....

[fatlittlepig]

If that were true, no one would ever leave....

[fatlittlepig]

Can someone put a dollar value on this benefit?...

[fatlittlepig]

This is some next level weird shitt. If I were the father of that 14 year old girl you would have a serious problem.

[fatlittlepig]

This thread (and the other one I started) has for the first time since I started posting on WCI forums, made me sad. There seems to be a undercurrent...

[fatlittlepig]

Read my post again. These things are rarely clear cut and can be explained without invoking malice or intentional disregard for patient welfare. I guess...

[fatlittlepig]

That sometimes happens when we hear something we don’t want to hear or are not ready to hear. It’s ok. Good luck....

The middle of the night phone call may have prompted an interesting response from you thereby explaining why said phone call was not placed....

Want to know what may have happened? Perhaps the patient actually could not tolerate a wedge lodged between her legs after having surgery. Would you have...

[fatlittlepig]

There's a way to give feedback where the feedback receiver does not feel threatened and feels respected and valued, it's a good skill to have when speaking...

[fatlittlepig]

i'm in the camp that you're doing something wrong whether you want to acknowledge it yourself or not....

[fatlittlepig]

this is what i have done my entire career: treat everyone you come across from custodians, physical therapists, discharge planners, nurses, random people...

[fatlittlepig]

For better or worse, your post illustrates the attitude (I would label it an entitled attitude) that I see in many physicians. There's absolutely nothing...

[fatlittlepig]

easy: max 401K, after debt is discharged, put the 7K/month into an index fund, avoid financial advisors.

[fatlittlepig]

I never said it was a tragedy, going to an offshore school is a gamble- I think it's a reasonable gamble if you are motivated and intense. that being...

[fatlittlepig]

perhaps it does, but I doubt it's common but I wouldn't know, it's not something that I can identify with or understand....

[fatlittlepig]

It’s not exactly a believable anecdote....

[fatlittlepig]

OK, I’ve obviously have been proven incorrect- no gratitude is indicated as your success is deserved, through your hard work, superior academic achievement,...

[fatlittlepig]

Hmm. Spending 8x more on a ticket to get to the same place. No thanks. Whether you can afford it or not, that just seems like a ripoff to me....

[fatlittlepig]

You're stating the obvious: no one chooses a caribbean MS over a US school. The author states that the test score requirements are less stringent and...

I don’t get the fascination with Mars, I see cold red rock.

Um doesn’t the paragraph you quote say exactly the same thing as what you’re purporting it doesn’t say. Anyways I suspect the Venn diagram of good...
