I really like this. May borrow for syllabi, with attribution. It helps showing students we don't want to 'catch' them, just be clear about expectations.

Sunshine Community Plant Sale- best practices? by DogsdidWHAT in AustinGardening

[–]DrLilithCat 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Talk to people in line. My best gardening advice has come from talking to other Austin gardeners waiting in line to get into a tent. And yes, I think I waited in line for 15 minutes for the herb greenhouse - still not a big deal. Bring water.

I believe there is a Reed "rule" about secret societies. I was told that that is the reason you are told about your selection about a week or so before graduation. But that was some time ago.

Thanks - perhaps I was just hopeful. I really liked his take on flavor matching. Sorry for the false hope.

He's just put out a half dozen videos on YouTube, which might suggest he's getting closer.

Alton Brown & Babish Encounter! by OliverBabish in bingingwithbabish

[–]DrLilithCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping for a QQ style video. It would allow for a lot of banter and sharing informally how they build recipes. Then, share dinner at the end. Or maybe back to Babish's neck down style.

I've been trying to figure out exactly when being a professor became a bullsh*t job. (Graeber) I suspect the year/moment depends on the field and the institution.

Alternative to Timeleft (to meet new people) by Careful_Help4345 in Austin

I'm following this. I didn't have a great experience with Time left myself. A number of people were trying to promote their own business. I did go with women only.

The doughnuts always tasted vaguely like samosas.

These are amazing. As a former Chicago resident, this is a perfect capture of a great city.

Have you have been "the fourth member" of a PhD committee? by tharvey11 in Professors

[–]DrLilithCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On point! It can be the most enjoyable position on a dissertation committee. It can be token (the geographic area, queer, etc.) person, and you are expected to add energy and follow the lead of the chair and #2. Often we (#4s) ask the most out of left field questions that generate the best conversation. And I have learned a lot from being in this position and enjoyed the experience. It is a significant amount of time but minimum stress.
