If you came up with an original idea that doesn’t exist but is somewhat related to another product that already exists and is made by a successful company, would you contact that company about your idea or would you try to make it yourself?

If you reach out to the company, it’s very possible that they might just “steal” the idea and never contact you again.

If you try to make it yourself, you won’t have the advantage of working with an already well-established and successful company. You’ll also be at a risk that other companies will take the idea and, since they are already successful, people will go to them for the product instead.

What is the best thing to do in this situation?

Wondering what’s the correct approach here. I often hear advice for beginners to watch videos as there are so many that are beneficial, but when watching these videos should I take notes? Should I keep a notebook for chess? Or should I just try to focus on the video and memorize lines/ tactics?

Really curious as to what season people liked the most.

I’ll go first:

1. Season 4 (favorite)
2. Season 1
3. Season 3
4. Season 2 (least favorite)

Not sure if this is the right sub, but I’ll give it a go. I’m not a med student yet, though I plan to be. As someone who wants children, I keep wondering if it would be easier during med school or residency. Does it depend on the program/ specialty? Are there ways to take a few months off to be able to take care of a baby and then continue afterwards?

Edit: Thank you everyone for sharing!

Hey everyone! So I’ve been taking ceramics as an elective in high school this year. I’ve been practicing on the wheel for about 2 weeks now, but it feels as if improvement is very slow. Whenever I go on the wheel, I feel like I’m just encountering a fail after a fail after another.

I was wondering, is this normal? It feels like 2 weeks is a long time but I can’t even throw a cylinder yet. I can center and open the clay but I always struggle with pulling it up. I keep watching videos and then trying to apply them in class the next day but my hand placement always feels so awkward.

I’m starting to feel like the wheel just isn’t for me. Any advice or word of encouragement?

Edit: Thank you

Are the verbs escoger and elegir used interchangeably to mean “to choose” or are there uses when one is more common than the other?

I was trying to write the sentence “I need to choose a new book” and couldn’t figure out if I should say “necesito escoger un nuevo libro” or “necesito elegir un nuevo libro”. Which would make more sense in this case?

Edit: Gracias a todos por la ayuda!!

Is knowing the general effect of each category of drugs (depressants, stimulants, etc) enough? Or do we actually need to know what each drug specifically does? Please help I’m spending too much time trying to memorize all of this😭
