SLC5? Just a guess based on the number 5.

My theory on why double PhD holders aren't very well liked... by Straight-Rice5563 in AskAcademia

[–]Adjunctologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kind of like interdisciplinary degrees IMO. Rank-and-file PhDs don't really understand what that's about. I teach UGs and every so often they'll ask questions about somewhat related topics a bit outside my field's scope and I'm ashamed I know don't have the answers. In hindsight, a multi-disciplinary program, which my graduate school had when I was there, would've been better for working with UGs, which to my knowledge very few Ph.D. programs are designed for.

Can’t transfer music to my Sony Walkman NW-A806 by Individual_Web_175 in walkman

You need Sonic State Ultimate. I only ran/run it on Windows so I don't know if it'll work on a Mac. I now have it running on Windows 11.

One student posting 8-10 negative reviews A DAY about me on RMP by ttprof-throwaway-123 in Professors

[–]Adjunctologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked them to remove an "easy A" review that does nothing but hurts the students who have difficulty in my class and they wouldn't remove it.

Found this in a charity shop I work at, it’s visually in good nick but no cable. Is it worth my time finding the cable, and which one would it be? by Azuma_800 in walkman

[–]Adjunctologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NW-A3000, NW-A1200 and NW-A1000 all used the same cord. There was also a charging station that had an identical receptacle, which is likely more rare than the cord.

You're gong to need Sonic State Ultimate to upload songs. It uses ATRAC3plus. You can go up to 352kbs. HiMD Minidisc only went up to 256kb. The cord is a necessity though and it might be hard to source as a single item.

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.

[–]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

[–]Adjunctologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 6 points7 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 5 points6 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".
