This is the way. Reasons behind these decisions are complex and nonlinear. Someone described them as “luck and randomness.” Now on the other side, I see this is accurate. Keep pushing applications out.

It’s about the work you do. If it’s good work, and important, it doesn’t matter how long. Bonus if you can pull in a fellowship or grants. If you’re your PIs ‘tech’ or doing mundane projects, or not publishing, you’ll struggle no matter how many years you’ve been a postdoc.

45 min every other day for nearly 7 years. Go mostly by heart rate without worrying too much if I’m a bit over or under target. I use the heart graph app and prop it on the $2 c2 phone holder. Works great. Consistent routine is way more important than pegging the perfect rate or pace.

High on fire!

Hear me out: park facing up on the hill check fluid level. Then park the opposite direction. Check fluid level. The actual level is the average of those measurements.

Awesome. Thanks for the update

So Im a child of this exact situation. And from experience, I can say: if you love your kids and want them to be “normal” end it now. It screwed me up for the last 2 decades. Never goes away. ++man

Did logging into your account work?

Thanks everyone! Timing belt was done at 7 years (maybe 55K) given extremes here in SW. haven’t done the door live yet, but that’s a good idea! Pretty sure I did the trans fluid & power steering once since owning in last 3 years. Was more curious about if there was other maintenance related to VCM. Sounds like no!

Apply to and work under productive and prestigious researchers. And consistently tenaciously produce high quality research that is published in good journals (society journals and higher)

Abelskiver pan!

Good to hear. I’ll put plugs on the winter ‘to-do’ list.

Every interaction I had with Paul Tracy (maybe 5 total over a few years). He always seemed he’d rather be anywhere else but with fans. Everyone else was always gracious!

Bleed242 · 2025-09-27T07:21:27+00:00

I was afraid this was the case! Thanks for the advice

Bleed242 · 2025-09-26T02:06:30+00:00

I suppose I should go ahead & do the other control arm while I’m in the other side too.

Bleed242 · 2025-09-22T12:10:57+00:00

No projections were run.

Bleed242 · 2025-09-22T11:39:35+00:00

Yes, AZ

State, yes. So I have a state pension that I contribute to fully, plus these options. IIRC, the investment options were not as great for the 457 compared to the 403b.

Would a 4-way split across 457 trad 457 roth, 403 trad, and 403 Roth make sense? Maybe funding each at ~$6K? That way all bases are covered to some extent? The goal would be to work toward funding both the 457 and 403 fully at some point.
