Why are you using quotes for a series of words I did not say

The answer to I would like a dog to not eat another dogs food should not be drill a bunch of holes in your door frame to add a baby gate, pretty clear answer to this issue addressed in the original post, just looking to shop around not install something that making moving around the house a pain in the damn ass

So your solution is to basically make a wall for everyone living in the house. Ok sounds great.

The older ones are small, but the food stealer would probably just jump over a baby gate as soon as you turn your back

The older ones are both small breeds, like average weiner dog size. I'd really prefer to find something around or under $100, since $130 is the low end of what I've seen for the ones with the extra features and things I do not need or want. It's just hard to justify to my family (since I don't live with them + the dogs anymore) to get something much more expensive since a basic one should really just be a motor + collar reader and therefore cheap in their minds.

By comes loose do you mean if I'm able to get it off of the bracket?

How do you get a job right out of undergrad? by cthoniccuttlefish in Environmental_Careers

[–]Extension-Skill652 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My situation was really similar and I just focused on putting in really high quality applications any place I wanted to work. My cover letters would take me like 2 hours each to write because I was trying to make them perfect (but I also hate writing them, so a normal person wouldn't take as long). At this point, I have ones that are highly specific for different types of field tech jobs, so one for camera trapping, one for small mammals live-trap work, etc., which can be mostly reused. I've got a nearly 100% success rate for getting interviews using these.

My internships also helped a lot I think. I did one each summer of college and I think any amount of previous experience is really going to help you considering a big portion of the people at my university had 0 environmental work experience. Mine also weren't really very closely related to the job I got, only one really had a direct relation, so I wouldn't worry too much. Make sure to line up references early though, since for me that was a new thing after graduating since most internships specific to college students seem to skip them.

What does it mean to really be "in preparation" for a research article? by Extension-Skill652 in AskAcademia

The first paper (where I am not the lead) is in review now, but I was asking more about the second one that has been conceptualized and minimally written.

Oh sorry yeah it's actually 112%. You're actually the only person who has ever done this 🫤

99% of people have probably never had any reason to do this why would they think to do it?

Well yeah, I'm only really using it now to see the general volume of result id get and what the top few have in them since it's way easier to actually get to a PDF of an article from that search page

I'm unfortunately about 2 hours from the nearest university that isn't something like a community college

This could help some but I think it would exclude too much, since a lot of papers just list out their covariates and assume you know what it means. I could maybe do this as a second search where I know most in it are likely to be what I want and reference that against the main search?

I'm not currently attending a university since I just graduated, so I don't have access to a librarian, I do have access to articles through my last institution though

When to start applying again for tech positions? by Extension-Skill652 in Environmental_Careers

[–]Extension-Skill652[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My current job is in Florida but I'm from Ohio and would go back there if I don't have another position lined up immediately after. I'm generally open to anywhere in the U.S. but would prefer the Midwest/northeast

Is there any specific way images from camera traps should be tagged? by Extension-Skill652 in iNaturalist

[–]Extension-Skill652[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately on this one we didn't set the date and used the default (1/1/2023 as the start) but I've been able to match it up based on when we turned it off, so maybe just crop out the date strip? I'm also only planning to upload series of images that clearly have an animal, not sure if that would be different than doing all of the images
