2025.01.18 05:51 TinyTailor1654 No BLACKIS calls as a GEM despite high CAT score ? Understand the reality !!!
I have been actively involved in B school admissions as a coach and mentor over the past 6 years and see the same thing happen everytime, whether it's on Quora, LinkedIn or other platforms. GEM people not getting a call with a high CAT score ( 99.6 ++ ) and good acads (9/9/8 ) rant about IIMs, reservation, gender and anything else under the sun.
Now, I understand that anyone who has had a huge disappointment is likely to be rather frustrated but, as these are all smart people, I would have expected them to find out things on their own, before signing up for CAT. Let me therefore outline why the rejections happen and , if nothing else, it will definitely help people aspiring for CAT 2025.
IIM Bangalore first then. The criteria has 5 extra marks for gender diversity, so women are better off than men. The criteria is also having normalised academic scores and unfortunately most people do not understand this. Apart from this work experience has 10 points, so freshers do not have much chance unless with stellar acads + 99.7 plus in CAT.
IIM A and IIM S look at different academic categories even among general students. So a BA graduate is not directly competing with an Engineer here. There is no point in saying a GEM got no call at 99.5 whereas a male or a female studying History got one at 95 etc. The race is a different one, cannot be compared.
IIM C is probably the fairest of them all with about 4 marks for gender diversity. If any general category male has 99.75 plus in CAT he will be getting a call mostly. Acads are simple, you just need 80% plus in your boards.
IIM L is harsh towards GEM freshers as they only have access to 80 marks out of 100 for the first stage shortlist. Also the weird way in which L evaluates the 12th performance, means you can get very little with even a score of 90 % in your boards. Even GEM with experience are fighting out of 90 marks.
IIM K has a similar situation again, 90 marks is what you have to compete on. IIM I has 59% weight for board marks, again these are done with normalisation.
I hope you have got some idea now as to why many GEM people do not get calls. Let me now look at normalisation. This is done by IIM B, IIM L , IIM Kand IIM I. I will not go into the theory of it just try to explain in layman like language for the benefit of readers.
- Applicants from each board are grouped separately and the Mean and Standard deviation of their marks are worked out.
- Let us say the mean of CBSE applicants is 82 marks and the standard deviation is 5 marks. An applicant X has got 92 marks
- As the applicant is more than mean by 2 standard deviation, X will be getting 12.5 marks out of 15. If he was exactly at mean he would have got 7.5 out of 15.
- This ensures that for boards such as Bihar, where people score lower marks, it is still possible to get a fairly high score in the IIM B situation.
- This also explains why people get a lower score out of 15 in boards such as Telangana where almost everyone scores above 90 %, so the mean itself is rather high.
Bottom line - you need to understand your profile in a much better manner and be aware of what is the level of marks you need for CAT. My advice for any GEM fresher will be to aim at a scaled score between 100 and 110 for the BLACKIS calls, GEM people with experience may need about 5-10 marks less. This may change in CAT 2025 is less scoring than CAT 2024, but you really cannot take a chance.
I plan to write a series of posts that will be helping readers who are planning to take CAT 2025 - watch out for them :)

2025.01.18 05:51 patrick1225 Humira storage issues
I recently got a thermometer to try and see if I was storing humira correctly, and I've noticed the fridge temperature varies wildly sometimes going from 30-50 degrees altogether. which is not within the 36-46 range recommended by abbvie. My fridge is set to 6 degrees celcius as well but I'm not sure if this is just my fridge not working properly or not. Does anyone else have any recommendations for a mini fridge or something that isn't so susceptible to these issues?

2025.01.18 05:51 Alcoholic_Bunny54 How do I stop feeling guilty?
So I been in a fwb unofficial exclusive situationship. But recently I havenāt been able to climax or I been nervous with other guys I have met but backed out cause I feel guilty.
Like it feels like Iām cheating although Iām not he doesnāt care and I shouldnāt either. I say letās tell each other if we seen another person and I realized how unreasonable that is. He owes me no commitment and vice versa.
I asked if he been with anyone else cause I started to feel insecure and stuck in my head and he said no I believe him. I havenāt either.
Until just recently I met up with this guy but couldnāt do any thing cause I felt guilty. So I havenāt been able to cum with anyone even my fwb. How do I stop this unnecessary guilt?
Another part of it is I feel jealous if he meets up with someone else due to my inability to cum and that not right either. I shouldnāt feel jealous nor insecure. I love my self Iām confident in who I am. So how do I stop feeling guilty and jealous?

2025.01.18 05:51 monkfeather Searching for a series, Pink virus like aliens, body horror
I read this awesome series years ago but I only remember vague details.
It was an apocalyptic scenario, with a samurai type man escorting a baby or young child across a frozen wasteland. There was a pink alien sort of virus that infected people and turned them into toothy body horrors. I believe her blood was toxic to the monsters or something like that.
One of the antagonists turned secondary protagonists was this big butcher dude with meat cleavers who was a cannibal, he had a heroic last stand which was rad. On a bridge that he blew up.
The primary antagonist towards the end was a blonde cult leader type dude I think?
I apologize for being vague but I remember only so much of this series. I read it during a time in my life where I drank heavily so hopefully this makes some sense with my scattered memories!

2025.01.18 05:51 Last-Pudding3683 Other Asian Musicals: Favorites, ones you hope to see on Broadway soon, thoughts in general?
I'm so happy that Maybe Happy Ending is successful on Broadway. I'm just wondering what everyone here thinks about other Asian musicals. There are probably a lot of people who won't be interested unless something else gets an English translation, and I understand that. A lot of people might also be interested, but not know where to look for more information, so I want to help. And if you know a lot already, please recommend things, too!
I'm interested in making information available in English, and helping people find shows they might be interested in. There are also a lot of proshots from Korea, Japan, and elsewhere, but not a lot of translations. Hopefully that will change soon, but it won't change unless fans want it to.
I'd love to hear what you think!

2025.01.18 05:51 Glittering-Work-6689 I'm a project manager moving to another team end of January. I've been working with the Product Owner (not product manager) for over 1+ years. I requested a 1:1, and this is the response I got.
Context: It's quite toxic French management which makes you doubt your decisions each and every day.
(The intention of the meeting is to expect a 1:1 meeting when transitioning teams, especially after a long working relationship)
The meeting intends I requested the same 1:1 in December, and he said he would send a meeting invite, but he never did. Then again, I requested yesterday, and instead of a 1:1, he asked me to schedule a meeting with the full team by March, which I won't be there for. And then I ended up responding to him that there was no need for a 1:1.
I felt I overreacted because I got mad that he dismissed my request for 1:1 like that plus he is higher up in the program management and I worry about any repercussions. Having high anxiety does not help either.
Did I overreact by saying I don't need a 1:1 with him?

2025.01.18 05:51 Server16Ark Stunned by how awful the new player experience still is.
A friend of mine decided to buy Darktide while it was on sale a while back and only recently have we begun to play the game. This entire interaction between him, me, the game, and other people who we have played with in PUGS that the game sticks us with has been really eye opening concerning just how bad the new player experience really is.
For starters, my friend has some experience with Fatshark games having played a good amount of VT2 a long time ago. Precisely how many hours, I don't know, but if I had to guess it was at least 100, I do however want to reinforce the point at the end of the sentence: it was a long time ago. As in at least five years. Whatever skills he has from VT2, game knowledge, etc. did not transfer over to this game but we had flickering moments of remembrance where he could see how a system from VT2 had been ported over to Darktide as I explained various things to him while we played.
To go further with this, I highly advised that he play a Zealot as his first class due to the fact that even at a low level, the Zealot has a significant amount of forgiveness and just flat out "Oops, I made a mistake but it'll be fine" capability that the other classes do not have. If you really wanted to, a Zealot can get the Holy Rev/Until Death combo before they even hit level 10. That's how forgiving Zealot is as someone's first class (plus, it provides a significant overlap with Veteran, so there's transferable skills there).
Anyway. Where am I going with this? It occurred to me while playing with him that Fatshark has done an abysmal job explaining just about anything to new players to the game. I genuinely feel extremely bad for people who jump in fresh, don't have someone to lean on for info like myself (for reference: he wasn't even aware that weapons had Special Actions until he hit 25 and that was because I asked him why he wasn't turning his Relic Blade on).
He had no genuine clue where most things were, what services they offered, how things worked, nothing. Now, you can fire back that Fatshark does put in an initial very brief summary about how certain game systems operate (particularly those related to the crafting revamp) but they only do that one time. If you just clicked through it, or only play the game on, say, the weekends, there is very little chance you are going to remember any of that info. Which is precisely what happened to my friend.
I had to explain how Hadron worked, how to empower weapons, why you want to rank them up and how, how to swap out blessings and perks, the proper way to buy weapons, how to acquire trinkets and how that's different from buying weapons. On and on and on. None of this I hold against my friend, he's a pretty clever guy who is good at video games but these interactions were a real revelation to me concerning just how awful the new player experience really is. I can't imagine a person who plays by themselves, who doesn't have someone like myself to ensure we won Damnation games (not because of my player skill, but rather because of my game knowledge) to try and quickly get him to 30 as painlessly as possible so he can get access to the right weapons, and the store might start resetting the stock with the right trinkets. I just... feel bad. The slog for a new player who has to play with other players who are just as out of their depth at lower difficulties, without someone there who can just waltz through the mission with minimum difficulty sounds like an absolute nightmare. I, thankfully, did this back before we even had Skill Trees, so I can't even remember what the grind was like but if the grind is easier these days than it was back then? Good Lord. And I haven't even touched on the skill trees themselves being a prosaic maze of nonsense that most people couldn't possibly sort through without outside help.
I could go on and on and on, about the little things that add up into really big things and it becomes extremely apparent very quickly why it is that more people don't play Darktide long term.
Without continuing to beat a dead horse, I think that Fatshark really, really screwed the pooch here and I'd be willing to ascribe their failings with making this information easily accessible, thoroughly detailed and explained in the game as to why people just give up eventually. It's terrible, because I know if I had to wade through all this technical debt but also had no interest whatsoever in watching some random YouTuber's 12 part video series on how to find out how to do most things in this game, I'd probably just have thrown in the towel.
I know this doesn't seem like it should be a high priority, but I really feel like it needs to be. Darktide already doesn't have a particularly large playerbase (VT2 isn't much smaller and it's much older), and smothering new players under all this tedium and inexplicable crap really has to go. Serious adjustments, a full revamp even, needs to be made to help better onboard players.
**tl;dr - New players are being drowned by the game's mish mash of poorly explained systems, a grind they can't possibly even begin to understand, and a skill tree that is poorly explained at the best of times and downright incorrect at the worst.

2025.01.18 05:51 FishOpposite7818 Question from a TOTAL newbieā
Hi all! Im very excited i found this community because i am considering getting my first system very soon and i have absolutelyyyyyyyyyy no idea where to even start. I know absolutely nothing other than im a real audio/music lover and that i want a really really quality system. I never have even heard of brands like bowers and wilkins until 2 weeks ago. So long story short I walked into best buy and said im looking for a phenomenal music system. After a little talking i told them i think id be willing to spend about 10k (if thats what it took, i had no idea and still have no idea if thats alot or a little in this world) They recommended to me this as a starter system, What does everyone think? They showed me one similar i guess it was an Older 700 series model tower speakers with one less driver i believe and it did sound very very nice however i have no real comparison against other excellent systems, especially another at this price point. My main questions are Is this a good system? What are everyones thoughts? Other brands to consider? Am i spending too much or too little and should spend a little more for way better potentially? By spending more how much better does it really get? Also lastly, i was showed the B&W 800 series of some kind, it does sound amazing. Will i regret not getting those? This is what they recommended: Bowers & Wilkins - 700 Series 3 Floorstanding Speate Tweeter On Top and Three 6.5Ā° Bass Drivers (Each) (pair) Audio Quest - Rocket 44 10' Pair Bi-Wire Speaker Cable, Marantz - Model 30n Stereo Integrated Amplifier With blue sound node AudioQuest - PowerQuest 505 12-Outlet Power Conditioner & Non-Sacrificial Surge Protector They also recommended adding an REL S812 subwoofer next and after that some sort of center channel 10-20k budget Boston ma USA Room is 18x10. Long thinner room. However want this system to work well after i move out of this home into one with a bigger listening room Sitting 8 ft from speakers Digital primarily bur also vinyl No audio gear already owned that will be used THANK YOU ALL!!! Im trying to learn more but its so much idek where to start!

2025.01.18 05:51 OKSCYTHE [EVENT] National '72: the Clutch of the Decade and the Death of a Dream
Jack has been glued to the television for the past few hours, first in dread, then in acceptance, then in shock, then, finally, dread once more. Hearing the banter and updates between the new anchors was, few hours ago, a study of every last word. Then as seats were called, his mind began to drift to other things: the obligatory concession speeches, the congratulation calls, and the new platform he would make in opposition. He knew this day would come, and had grown to accept it in the past few months.
The rule of technocracy, combined with his belief in the everlasting invisible hand, was never going to be popular. Not with the left, not with the right, not even with the new centre he sought to pioneer. He had planned this and accepted it, and, given his exceptionally short mandate (thanks, Holyoake), he had hoped the Nationals would give him the benefit of the doubt. That would be enough to survive a challenge from that utter lunatic and right cunt Muldoon, and eventually Labour would see their dream die, Kirk's plans fail, and, ultimately, for the nation to learn to love Marshall with rose-tinted glasses.
But as the sun set and the day progressed into darkness, as the lights around Wellington shut off for a good night, that moment never came. The fabled 44-for-majority threshold still had not been called: an unusual amount of time. Close races called to skew Labour had instead all turned out for the Nationals, initially charming Sir Marshall, but, as this kept happening, dread set in.
Everything the bewildered liberal anchors were talking about turned to static. This was supposed to be a stepping stone he would rise from, one that he had planned for and coped with. Instead, as he saw each new banner slide under the screen, he rubbed his eyes and sighed.
He knew the utter hell his next term would be.
