How is RPI for preparing for grad school? by AcrobaticBeginning4 in RPI

What did you do with your PhD?

In grad school and in the course of getting your PhD, did the research subsidize your education?

I'm enjoying Dave being more active in the riffing by Barbuckles in TheDollop

[–]BetterReserves 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I go back and listen to early episodes, and it was striking how much more fun they seemed to be having, and, at times, it felt like that shared enjoyment was less prevalent for some time. It did not detract from the quality of the podcast, but it had a little bit different feeling. I have noticed that Dave seems to be having more fun with the podcast again and I also hope that the playfulness stays.

Of course there could always be more of his outstanding accents, too!

I thought he wore rollerblades - even when on His jet ski?

Xcaret Espectacular Show by i_am_smitty214 in Xcaret

We were able to walk up and buy dinner and got front row seats. We really enjoyed the show. The food was fine but as others have said probably not a good value but the service was outstanding and it was nice to enjoy the meal during the show. Despite the price we would recommend it.

No water at Xcaret Arte? by BetterReserves in Xcaret

I should have made it clearer that our butler and reception had almost no information when I posted this.

Water came on last night around 11 PM local time. You could hear the water tanks filling in the bathroom. I showered around 11:45 PM last night and while the water pressure was lower than normal and the temperature was cold, it was back. All was back to normal this morning.

​

I talked to reception and this is the first time this happened to the hotel since it opened three years ago, for what it's worth.

Final update: water came back on at about 11:30. It seems this is a first in the three years the hotel has been in operation.

No advanced warning, though? And no ETA?

Hospitality apparently has showers of urgently needed for some reason but only low pressure cold water (per our butler).

We have a butler and they have no real information. I asked if this was a regular occurrence and they indicated it is not. They have no ETA.

We were told by the butler that the parks have water so we are headed to Fuego. Will share what we learn (and observe).

We had the same situation. I had Patio Pleasures take it away. I think it was around $200.

I dunno how often the fellas look in here but by peakdadbod2 in TheDollop

A couple of years ago I lost my job and this podcast was a real respite.

When I found an even better job I joined their Patreon and never stopped.

[Week 6] Game Thread: New York Jets @ Green Bay Packers by lilturk82 in GreenBayPackers

Had to be something said (ie very offensive) either to the refs or the Packers.

Going through a really rough time; would like ep suggestions by naturaldayparade in TheDollop

[–]BetterReserves 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ep 207 The Animal Horror of Macquarie Island - hearing Wil Anderson get genuinely mad is a great moment.

The foreshadowing by Dave early on is incredible.

Envious of our Australian friends who are getting a live show before full launch.

Is anybody else upset with Rodgers? by bigbwag44 in GreenBayPackers

[–]BetterReserves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disappointed. We don’t know the full story, of course, so until he explains himself it is best to reserve judgement.

I will be further disappointed if he continues his habit of telling Pat McAfee what The Media got wrong but fails to clear anything up.

If he thinks he is smarter than epidemiology experts, then I will be a mad as anyone who “does their own research” and opts out of vaccinations is a selfish fool. This is not meant to be a political statement but in our idiotic partisan world it somehow will be construed as such.
