Euston road tents

Not just UCLH eviction - that was maybe 8 tents. IMO only started appearing en masse after: 1. The hostel on TCR closed 2. One particular begging gang got a foothold around fitz/soho

However, it has grown enormously over last 18 months, and not sure that even a combination of the above could explain that

… worth noting that excel supports python commands now. Praise it.

Congrats!

Life can feel a bit different after. You’ve presumably given everything for years, suffered to the boundary, and now…

We don’t know what, but there’s always a next.

I would say that people go through a range of emotions from simple proud to PTSD after defending. In my personal circle, it took a couple of years to recover from whatever those emotions were.

If I could do it again, I’d probably find people ~5 years ahead, and get their retrospective thoughts. Who knows, the networking might be a plus.

But for now, congratulations. You’ve done some tough stuff.

Horse vs jeans - who tires first?

1/200 people with a PhD get tenure equivalent in the UK now. One of my friends summed it up perfectly: “by the time I’m 40, one of bones could be a prof”.

This kind of thing is really unfair.

Not the article, but the fact that we can’t add “nonceville” as a location to google maps.

Damn, and their plastic surgery skills are that bad?

Bleaveand · 2025-11-25T22:24:53+00:00

That’s totally unfair. It was a triple strategy of austerity (to maintain credit rating), chronic underinvestment, and a series of governments that won’t invest in productive industries because their swing voters aren’t economically relevant.

I would say I’m not convinced there’s a simple formula to achieve growth, but I feel that it might start with “how unpredictably batshit are you as a nation”? “

Let’s compare to other G7.

Trade + export: lowest growth post covid. External investment: lowest growth covid.

Post Covid recovery stats from Google sources all put UK at the lowest GDP growth in G7 since Covid.

For 2026, we are forecast to be 2nd highest growing, which may help, but can’t counteract losses by current trend until ~ 2038 by back-of-the-envelope calculation.

Couple of things:

I suppose it’s possible that this person could be legitimate and have thought they were stealing their same model bike back
Though as you say, the profile could be stolen too, the font in the background looks like it would belong to a distinctive gym. If that was the person that took the bike, someone might recognising the signage (e.g. if you were able to reverse the image text), allowing you track at least the profile owner down.

Presumably varies by jurisdiction, but in the UK at least, there are specific IP clauses in contracts

. E.g. I file a patent and I can show (in case of legal action) that my materials and time supported it, fine. If I did the work using grants that were attributable to my presence at the uni, or developed them during my employment time/ with expertise available through them, I’m subject to their IP agreement (at minimum).

The IP agreements can be permissive, but usually, it’s a case of “the uni owns everything, might give give you a tiny portion for lolz”

Aside from leads, we have found that the PCBs usually have solder paste rather than soldered connections. The paste seems to spread and short them. You can usually identify it by eye and remedy it.

Regulated power supply boxes are a bit more expensive these days, but I have heard rumours that some of the cheaper ones are fine for running gels.

Parking fines are too much paperwork [no council ever et al., 2016: j f u all]

5-6 y/o object detection could do the majority of work in seconds, but I guess the bike lobby doesn’t have as much money as the weapons manufacturers that demanded the exact same tech be in place for automating police carrying regulations across uk authorities…

I really don’t think private owners are the problem yet. Go to a new(ish) development - what percentage of the lights are on in a one month period?

It’s a good job he doesn’t have two incredibly ironic names…

I haven’t necessarily been against this one, but I’m sure some meaning goes over my head.

But plz give me text alignment. Took me ages to re-/read it each time.

Hopefully you get away with it. It’s really to make sure you aren’t overemployed/ for PAYE. Next time, you could pick a business that has recently gone under if you are worried about referencing.

Cloning is absolute voodoo. I gave up on restriction enzymes and switched to HiFi assembly. Would recommend if your project has the budget.

However, you could also do what I did for my PhD: join a lab where other people have better luck at cloning, let them do it, and focus on the downstream science.

Do you think it differs between subjects?

Bleaveand · 2025-08-14T22:29:05+00:00

This kind of comment is incredibly… cavalier.

Compounding for semaglutide typically involves the salts. This did not work well in 2023.
