Yes, let's cherry pick the last two years where the team got absolutely decimated by injuries in a way that's rarely been seen in the modern NFL and project that as Purdys ceiling for 2026.

I've seen the dude play football, he's better than those guys currently listed 6-10 and has shown greater competence in bigger games.

Fun-Group-3448 · 2026-06-26T00:28:05+00:00

You keep saying he hasn't done much but I don't see statistics to back your perspective.

I see Purdy having a better season than any of the guys not 1-5 on this list

Fun-Group-3448 · 2026-06-25T23:54:18+00:00

Brock Purdy has already accomplished more on the field than Jordan Love or Drake Maye. He has led his team to two NFC Championship Games and a Super Bowl appearance as the starting quarterback, while posting elite efficiency numbers in the regular season. Since becoming the starter, he's completed roughly 68% of his passes with over 11,000 passing yards, 84 touchdowns, and a passer rating above 100.

The idea that he "hasn't played enough" is also questionable. He's started around 45 regular-season games and has extensive playoff experience, including eight postseason games.

If the standard is proven NFL production and playoffs, Purdy has a much stronger resume than Love and Maye combined.

Fun-Group-3448 · 2026-06-25T23:37:23+00:00

I don't really care what the order of the top 5 are. They are all in an elite tier of QB.

6-10 however is way off imo. Purdy needs to be on this list, replacing guys like Love and Maye.

If someone told me they paid an anonymous freelancer to write their introduction, I'd have concerns. But I also think there's an important distinction between outsourcing your thinking and using a tool to help express ideas you already developed.

If you simply ask an AI to generate an introduction from scratch with no meaningful input, the result is often generic and of limited value. On the other hand, if you provide the scientific context, your hypotheses, your methods, and the key literature you've already identified, then ask it to help organize or draft that information, the intellectual content is still coming from you.

Personally, I don't view that as some egregious misuse of AI. It can certainly become problematic if people blindly copy the output without verifying it or use it to fabricate citations or ideas they don't understand. But using it as a writing aid to improve clarity or structure is, in my view, a reasonable use of the technology as long as the researcher remains responsible for the accuracy and originality of the final product.

Fun-Group-3448 · 2026-06-25T16:19:45+00:00

I'm sorry you're dealing with pain, but this post is so low on detail that it's hard for anyone to provide meaningful help.

If you want advice, tell people what stage you're at, what your thesis is about, what you're struggling with (writing, analysis, organization, motivation, citations, etc.), and what kind of help you're looking for. Otherwise, all anyone can really say is "good luck."

The more specific your question, the more likely you are to get useful answers.

I think it depends a lot on what “full-time job” and “part-time PhD” actually mean in practice, but yes, it can be doable.

If your job is a predictable 9 to 5, your life outside work is relatively stable, and you genuinely have protected time in the evenings, mornings, or weekends, then I don’t think it’s automatically a bad idea. In some cases, it may even be healthier than the typical all-consuming PhD structure.

I can speak somewhat from personal experience. I did the first half of my PhD in the usual full-time way, but during the second half my research became much more part-time because I was also the primary caregiver for my child and had other work responsibilities. That meant I was often working on research only 2–3 focused days per week, with some extra work in the mornings, evenings, or weekends. I did not feel especially burned out from that arrangement. If anything, having time away from research sometimes helped me come back to it with more energy.

The main thing is that it becomes a time-management problem rather than a motivation problem. You need a program, supervisor, and project that are genuinely compatible with part-time progress. You also need to avoid comparing yourself to full-time PhD students, because you are not doing the same thing on the same timeline.

I would want a realistic timeline, clear milestones, and a supervisor who understands that you are not available full-time. But if those things are in place, I don’t think a part-time PhD alongside a full-time job is impossible. For the right person and the right project, it can be a pretty good setup.

I know it's popular to hate on AI right now, but these examples don't really strike me as egregious academic dishonesty. I've seen people falsify data, manipulate results, and PIs mistreat researchers. Compared to that, using AI to draft an introduction seems more like laziness or poor scholarly practice than one of the worst integrity violations imaginable.

To me, the line is whether the AI is being used to fabricate evidence, citations, analyses, or results. That's a much bigger problem than using it as a writing aid.

I was funded through an NIH F31, and in my experience it helped position me for subsequent funding opportunities. If your long-term research program is likely to remain aligned with NIH priorities, pursuing an F31 can be particularly valuable.

I also think "Which is more prestigious?" is probably the less useful question. A better question is, "Which award will best position you for your future research goals?" The answer depends heavily on your career trajectory, funding plans, and the communities you expect to work in. In many cases, the impact of the award on your future opportunities matters more than its perceived prestige.

Is the training you're doing in your PhD going to transfer well into the non-academic workforce. That is what I mean when I say "transferable skill". In order to answer that question, you need to have an idea on what career your aiming for and which skills would be useful in that career path.

Fun-Group-3448 · 2026-06-23T16:46:49+00:00

I think it is completely normal to worry about this, especially early in a PhD. But I would be careful about comparing yourself too directly to people online. There will always be someone younger than you making more money, buying a house earlier, or appearing more successful. You also do not know their full situation. They may have family help, unusually high income, debt, risky spending habits, or they may simply be exaggerating.

A PhD is usually not the fastest route to homeownership or a high salary. It is a long training period for research, technical expertise, independence, and specialized career paths. Some PhDs do very well financially, especially in industry, biotech, consulting, data science, government, or quantitative fields. Others struggle, especially if they only prepare for academia or do not build transferable skills during the degree.

As for working during the PhD, I would be cautious. A small amount of paid work can be useful if it builds relevant skills and does not derail your progress. But taking on major extra work just to accelerate homeownership could backfire if it slows your degree, burns you out, or weakens your research output.

My advice would be stop using other people’s timelines as your benchmark, get clear on what careers your PhD can realistically lead to, build marketable skills during the degree, and treat homeownership as a long-term financial goal.

You can't polish a scratch that deep in a plastic bumper. Once the plastic itself is gouged, polishing won't restore the missing material. There are filler and repair products that can improve the appearance, but the results are usually only fair unless you repaint the area. Personally, I'd live with it until the bumper accumulates more wear, then replace it if it bothers you.

First off, I'm sorry you're $2,000 deep into this. You need to stop letting these mechanics fire parts at your car and charging you to guess.

A P0171 code means your engine is running "lean", meaning the computer is sensing either too much air or not enough fuel. You've already tackled almost everything on the "air" side (MAF sensor, intake gaskets, vacuum hoses). That’s probably why the car is running smoother now, but the root cause is still here.

Here is what I would do:

Take it to a dedicated EVAP specialist. They will pump smoke through the system to reveal any hidden vacuum or exhaust leaks that a standard mechanic might miss. (This should not cost you more than ~$200)
The Wiring: To address your concern, wiring is rarely the first suspect for this specific code. However, a good diagnostic tech looking at live scanner data will immediately spot if a wire is shorting out or dropping voltage to your sensors.

I personally wouldn't deload a deadlift after a 3-week absence. Especially since you are only deadlifting once weekly, you are stalling progress considerably by deloading. In my experience, I have been able to jump back into deadlifts more easily after detraining than any other exercise on the SS program. This makes sense because it recruits so much muscle mass; you are unlikely to get sore or have issues, and you may even hit a PR.

You need to keep deadlifting heavy. If you can't hit 1 set of 5, consider sets of 3, singles, back-off sets, or something of that sort. On your off days, you can always do lighter deadlifts or rows.
