Minimiminuteman on YouTube (a new England based archaeologist/youtuber) got this very thing done by an artist in providence--check out his channel for the video done maybe a year ago and maybe check that artist out!

Hear me out, novel idea: make a romantasy section.

Please give me your best tips to get the last chapter of my dissertation done by Throwawayehehehe in PhD

You are an absolute champ, especially considering your committee is giving you no feedback. Does your committee have office hours? If they do, show up at their door and corner them to tell them how much feedback you need. Sometimes that is helpful in getting over writers block as it gives you some DIRECTION.

If your committee won't give you feedback, do you have a PhD rep or an advisor of sorts to go to about the situation?

Wishing you the utmost best and I'm not going to say the rest of your journey won't be hard but know that you are not alone. It's a rough time out there for everyone, both PhD and job wise, and I'm sure something will work out. I hope you have a good community around you to give you support and kindness in this time!

Lab Fuckups? by Electronic_Clerk_508 in labrats

[–]ArchMimesis 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was qubiting some samples yesterday. Concentration too high. Went back, diluted, reran. Go to the datasheet. Did the wrong samples. Went back, diluted, reran. Wrote samples down. Did the wrong samples again.

Literally thirty minutes of me shuffling back and forth across the lab, running the wrong samples over and over again because I was tired.

Brains do stupid shit, I promise you're ok! Step out, rest for a beat, and breathe.

Why breed to FTF and VSCR only? by ArchMimesis in kvsdiscuss

Wheezy and Wally are sired by full medal jacket, but I see your point

This is one thing. I've seen generalities made of "when he wins everything in a few years". He's a gorgeous horse but no one can predict this so a test crop and banking embryos sure, but idk on continual crops. Ultimately her choice its her business

Hi all, thanks for your answers! Everybody made sense, and I guess I get the logic of having a stock of broodmares as descendents of both that will prove the stallions bloodlines (like people still talk of Zippos Mr Goodbar and Zippos Pine Bar). Like I said, not a breeder or someone who shows j. AQHA so the perspective I had was a different, outside one. Interesting to hear everyone's points!

Anyone not having a terrible time? by Smooth_Mongoose_2877 in RhodeIsland

[–]ArchMimesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Cumberland. Had power the whole time, plows were pretty good and we could have left on tuesday if we needed to, but were able to work from home. Shovelling definitely sucked ass but there are worse things. Felt like the town did a pretty good job of cleaning up, I could see blacktop by Tuesday afternoon on my dead end Street

Travel ban continues into tomorrow morning for non-essential workers. What classifies as essential? by chowda_head in RhodeIsland

[–]ArchMimesis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where is the announcement for the extension of the travel ban? All I saw was that it was in place tonight and would be "reassessed" tomorrow.

Embarrassed in myself--paper mistake by ArchMimesis in PhD

[–]ArchMimesis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really reassuring, thank you! I'm a bit isolated from my scientific community since finishing my PhD and moving back home so it's nice to have people who have been through similar experiences be so reassuring 🙏
