I’m not sure, only ever used it with my PC. As for the touchpad, haven’t noticed not having it but I mostly play COD and older aRPGs.

I just got a 8BitDo pro 2 because every PlayStation controller for the last 4yrs has broken in less than 6 months and it’s great. Feels good, connects over Bluetooth, and has Hall effect joysticks that aren’t prone to drift, which was the Sony controller main issue. All for $50. I think I’m done with Sony controllers.

Yeah, a good physical therapist will push you past your limits. From personal and professional experience, mental limitations will hold you back when you’re rehabbing. With my less uptight patients I’ll tell them physical therapists don’t give a shit about your pain and discomfort, they’re there to get you better. I love those fuckers, they do wonders.

I’m sad to see you go.

Is it actually hilarious? Did you fall out of your chair, laughing so hard you shit yourself? Or are you just performing for the internet, being the cool guy? Looking at your profile you’re trying hard to be “the smart guy”. Or you may just be a sad troll, lashing out in an attempt to foist some of your misery on those around you but also avoid the consequences of your actions. Hard to suss out with certainty but happy to keep fucking with you if you want to keep going.

You may be right a out that but I’ll keep trying. I’ve seen some truly egregious care provided by midlevels who were hired for primary care because hospital admins only care that midlevels can bill 80% of a physician but they only have to be paid a third of a physician salary. Unfortunately people aren’t able to differentiate between all the people in scrubs that they see so I recommend supporung Physician for Patient Protection , a great organization that lobbies against unsuper mid-level practice.

And as for chiropractors? I have little against them except for neck adjustments and adjusting childre. Necks are fragile and so are the arteries in it and kids are the just straight up flexible, they don’t need placebos to feel better.

I disagree with the use of doctor for anyone who hasn’t completed medical school and their field’s respective post-graduate training. I’ve seen the term watered down to the point that anyone tangentially related to a physician-led field uses the term. Chiropractors, nurse practitioner, administrators, etc. etc. It leads to confusion in patient populations. I’ve had patients in the ER tell me that their nurse practitioner was equivalent to me in temrs of training which is absolutely not the case. I finished 3,000 hours of clinical rotations by the end of med school and another 10,000 hours of training by the end of residency. Patients are lucky if an NP has 500 hours of clinicals before they’re hired to provide “primary care”. The training an optometrist has is specialized but not to the level of an opthalmologist so using the same term muddies the water and makes it difficult for people to discern the difference.

I worked with European PhDs at the NIH and the impression I got was that they don’t use it regularly or even prefer it. Small sample size but at the upper echelons of their respective fields.

An opthalmologist is an eye doctor. They go to medical school and do a residency for extra training. Optometrists have doctorates in optometry meaning they do four more years of school after their bachelor’s. They can call themselves doctor because in the US that’s the convention for doctorate’s (in Europe ony medical doctors use the term). There’s avast difference in intensity, depth, bredth, etc. of training between the two. It’s easy to miss the difference if you’re not familiar with the system.

UK narrow boats and canals. YouTube figured out I like nerdy people being passionate and interesting about the nerdy things they nerd about. Do you think I’m gonna go on a canal boat tour when I go to England? You’re god damn right I am.
