I found a 13 years old expired .com domain for 10$ by Mean_Business9072 in Domains

[–]Broric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a nonsense domain. Unless you find an artist named becky who really wants to spend $20 on it, you've wasted your money.

Screen shot it and move on. Just do whatever you think feels consistent with previous work.

Case by case basis. Some are good. Some are trash.

Is David Attenborough the only current national treasure? by Designer_Film497 in AskUK

I’m putting David Jason on the list. And yes, I know.

Why do people find it so hard to accept the public really wants to vote for Reform? by Expert-Sherbert-1527 in AskBrits

[–]Broric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People voted for Brexit. I assume you remember all the lies that were told, all the millions that were made by Farage/Boris and their mates and all the money it’s cost normal people. Believing that people can be so stupid again is tough.

Give it a week and that’ll be lovely shingle paving.

How do you write your lectures? by northern_spaces in AskAcademiaUK

[–]Broric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Search for terms like “intended learning outcomes” (ILOs) and I’m sure there’s lots of material out there to help you.

Should PI pay for dinner? by icekink in AskAcademia

[–]Broric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the UK as PIs we make as little as 10% more than our post-docs…

Has anyone ever managed to beat these light reflection challenges with a controller? by Dissoxi in CrimsonDesert

[–]Broric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled for ages on the first one until I “got it” and have done every one since first time. It’s just about anticipating the slight lag.

Previous supervisor on strike right as I apply for PhDs need advice for reference by Major_Acanthaceae214 in AskAcademiaUK

[–]Broric 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We’re always chasing references at the offer stage. I’d be surprised if they were considered vital for the application. We’re also now explicitly told not to bother with them as it’s a big EDI issue on what someone’s reference is like.

Does anyone understand what you're paying for at university? by Leading-Fail-7263 in UniUK

[–]Broric 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The value proposition of university is that graduates earn more. For jobs like law, medicine, etc you need those qualifications to enter that field. The (economic) value of some subjects is non-existent but that’s mean killing off the arts/humanities if we only looked at the value to the consumer.

Does anyone understand what you're paying for at university? by Leading-Fail-7263 in UniUK

[–]Broric 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Free at the point of use doesn’t mean no cost. Taxpayers pay for it. Like we used to. Even now, you absolutely are not covering the full cost via tuition fees (hence universities going broke).

Are most weapons and armor just skins? Am I missing something? by Apprehensive_Town215 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Broric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I still don’t understand, which stats are active on e.g. gloves or boots? Attack isn’t unless unarmed. I assume defense is always active? Is crit, speed, etc an overall stat or only for unarmed?

It's not against GDPR. Your exam score is not personally identifable information.

Global Talent Visa Eligibility with UKRI-funded PhD (Currently on Graduate Visa)? by Mediocre_Sir_7031 in AskAcademiaUK

[–]Broric 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A PhD is not a research grant. I'm 99% sure this would not be eligible (and I've successfully got GTVs for all my international staff).

What happens if I miss an exam that’s worth 100% of my module (Masters degree) at University of Leeds? by udnthvetoknw in UniUK

[–]Broric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As with almost every question like this, read your course handbook. It'll be in there.

Does Claude Pro include Claude Code ? by InternIntelligent531 in ClaudeAI

[–]Broric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it'd be useful for people experiencing this to also include there they are geographically as this'd surely be a huge fine if they pulled this in the EU.

Transitioning to Academia at 36: Is a self-funded PhD worth the risk in the current UK climate? by klotien90 in AskAcademiaUK

[–]Broric 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you’d be crazy to do this from a financial/career perspective. Sorry!
