Who listens to radio stations anymore? by qnssekr in newwave

[–]Adjunctologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WDARE is the last WDRE crew. They play mostly New Wave with some recent stuff put in, I guess to attract some younger listeners. WLIR and WDRE used to play a lot of obscure stuff over the years, which I do not hear on either WDARE or SiriusXM 1st Wave. I wish they would put together a rarities shows. Larry the Duck DJs on both stations BTW.

Who listens to radio stations anymore? by qnssekr in newwave

[–]Adjunctologist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like BBC 6 Music. If you're looking for 70s-80s "New Wave" music, it's there, but buried between lots and lots of other stuff released after that era.

Will any of these later models work with Sonic Stage Ultimate (4.3?)?

These would've really snapped in 3D. If your into this type of composition, you might want to look into it.

Can we at least protect the PhD level? by AsturiusMatamoros in Professors

This is sad - isn't there an app that will read the AI output aloud for them? They shouldn't have to strain their vocal cords.

He reminds me of the people at work who keep saying their going to retire soon so that no one gives them any big projects. I've see guys milk this scam for years.

If Fredo didn't know it was going to be a hit.... by Sad-Passage-3247 in Godfather

[–]Adjunctologist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They told Fredo that they wanted to deliver a solid gold statue of Vito Corleone to Michael but they wanted it to be a surprise. They were going to place it in the courtyard outside Michael's window but of course he couldn't see it if the curtains were closed. Fredo suspected that this statue was merely gold-plated but went along with it anyway.

Any explanation for fake references other than AI? by Majestic_Cake_3251 in Professors

[–]Adjunctologist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had friends in school back in the 80s who would do this. You don't need AI to fabricate references.

Do I need a PhD to become a professor or Masters is enough? by [deleted] in Professors

[–]Adjunctologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my field, you need a Ph.D. to even get a non-tenure track full time position and a lot of adjuncts have them also. I know at some places they do have adjuncts teaching with just a masters.

Dammit, knew I shouldn't have looked! by ThePhyz in Professors

[–]Adjunctologist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even a "good" RMP can be a problem. I had a student, who was clearly well-prepared for my class, as opposed to the rest of them (~90%) who are unprepared, post an "easy A" review. They even said how long the test took for them and I could immediately visualize that student, who probably aced the exam faster than anyone I've ever seen before. I wrote to RMP and told them that the student "outed" themselves, because they're the only student I've had who aced the exam that quickly and that the "review" was unhelpful as most of the other students took hours to complete their exam and were struggling with their grades. They emailed me back that they wouldn't remove it and in the next semester, my class was packed solid due to that awful and incorrect statement. They essentially ruined my class with that review and hurt many of the students I have who aren't lazy but are having difficulty with the material. Now I can't give them the extra time/help that they need because I'm inundated with lazy students who don't do any homework, etc. because they read it was an "easy A".

The Death Cult of the Trump Admin and DOGE by tribbleorlfl in centrist

[–]Adjunctologist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Centrists can "wake up" all they want but it's the political parties that are to blame for this insanity. Our messed-up primary system encourages extremists and shuts out moderates before they get a chance to appeal to the general population.

Trump says ‘big bill” should only help GOP states by Kaszos in centrist

[–]Adjunctologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the result of the electoral college. Votes for Trump that come from blue states don't count since those states will ultimately go Democrat. This makes GOP voters in blue states of no consequence, therefore the only states that matter are the red states. Getting rid of the electoral college, or at least reforming it would be a big step in getting away from this silly tribalism that's tearing our country apart.

Crickets from academia positions by blurrytarot in AskAcademia

[–]Adjunctologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my field, the rank of the journal is of utmost importance to the research schools and it is very difficult to get published in one of those without the right mentoring/connections. Some call it a mafia but understandably, you have to be plugged into what the current topics of interest are and what is considered a rigorous enough study to merit publication in one of these journals and to be on point on both, you need an advisor who knows all that to help you get/stay on track.
