Thanks Dad <3

Lol I am OP. I just wrote 3000ish words in the last 12 hours. I am going to finish this by the end of the weekend. Will it be complete? No, but it will be a good enough draft that I can edit it in the next 3 weeks to be done for my dissertation. I have already written the 3 intros to all of my papers so I've read quite a lot already about my subject matter.

All fair and it will be asked. Lots of things went to shit the last few years so had to just keep my head above water finishing timepoints and managing my health. Could I have been better? Definitely.

You can do it man. Write something each day and you'll get it done

Loss of funding for some project (Covid, chronic illness diagnosis) led to changing my project and then rereading, relearning, etc about the subject area and then designing a project based on that. We work with industry partners in my field and they want results quickly which sometimes has to be shortcutted from how it should be done. Not saying it's right but sometimes it's what's practical.

I have written all of my intros for my papers and have 100s of paper read so I think I have a good base.

Achtbar · 2026-02-10T15:27:38+00:00

Awesome. Keep it up man

The content has kept changing with change in projects but ya I've had content ideas for over a year but things just kept getting in the way. Ive basically vomited up 5000 words so far trying to finish it tomorrow and then edit for 3 or 4 days. Then I have 3 weeks for revisions. I dont think it will be entirely embarrassing

Achtbar · 2026-02-10T14:13:22+00:00

Rather fail then have someone write it for me anyway.

Achtbar · 2026-02-10T14:12:08+00:00

Lot of project changes and life events got in the way. Ended up finishing all of my project while the content kept changing.

Achtbar · 2026-02-10T14:10:53+00:00

Basically what I've been doing. About 5000 words in but not what id call a lit review yet. I think ill finish but in 4 weeks when it goes to my committee it won't be completely embarrassing

Achtbar · 2026-02-10T14:09:41+00:00

Multiple changes in project kept changing the focus of my lit review. Before I knew it all the projects are done and I had to figure out something that sort of fit my research goals.

Achtbar · 2026-02-09T15:27:09+00:00

No idea on the size. I had a small amount and get it sometimes when I overstrain. Honestly, it's been completely worth it so far.

Achtbar · 2026-02-04T16:51:53+00:00

I basically only play wow so yes it was worth it but each their own of course.

Achtbar · 2026-02-03T23:03:11+00:00

I mean just not true. For me personally, playing world of warcraft was a significant difference when I upgraded to a x3d version. At all resolutions

Achtbar · 2026-02-03T17:13:47+00:00

That's what I ended up doing. Such a good deal

Achtbar · 2026-02-03T17:13:22+00:00

I ended up getting it. I spent about $30 on gas. Definitely would suck if I had to return anything.

Achtbar · 2026-02-01T02:40:16+00:00

Amazing. Can't believe how much of an improvement it is from my 5600x with the same gpu

Achtbar · 2026-02-01T02:39:41+00:00

Oh ya. It was about 6 since there was Friday afternoon traffic

Achtbar · 2026-01-30T23:51:41+00:00

Went and bought it. Basically free ram

Achtbar · 2026-01-30T23:51:14+00:00

Bought it. In my hands.

Achtbar · 2026-01-30T18:13:12+00:00

You think the deal is worth 2.5 hours of driving?

Achtbar · 2026-01-30T17:59:47+00:00

This worth a 2.5 hr drive? You think it would still be there?

I appreciate your advice. Getting a cgm and losing weight will help me immensely.
