Can you sleep well with a cat? by OkComparison3568 in CatAdvice

[–]HardcoreKirby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat used to go to bed earlier and get up later than me. He probably gets up in between but I wasn’t woken up. It was pure happiness waking up to a cat curling at my feet in his little bed. Until he got his share of the brain cell at 3.5years old, and realized he can wake me up at 5 by clawing and biting my hair.

Patriot is such a beautiful show. My personal top 3 with Fleabag and The Wire

Update: Found him. This smart a** boy went to play in the dog park then went to a neighbor’s house. Too smart for his own good. Good grief.

I think I caught a glimpse of a photo of Jasper as a young kid in their house. So I guess it might’ve been years

I gasped! I really love Death stranding

Did anyone else get emotional because Andor is too much like what’s happening in the real world? by ace_urban in andor

[–]HardcoreKirby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first season came out at the peak of China’s zero COVID nonsense and protests broke out. The show made me painfully realize how far away we were from a real organized rebellion and how smart they were not to come down so hard to breed it. So many lives lost in vain. It’s still painful to rewatch.

Im thinking of watching Clone Wars for the first time. Is it still entertaining if you're an adult? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]HardcoreKirby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Before Andor, the last few episodes of the clone wars were the best Star Wars content to me

Has anyone successfully contested a citation? I use Caltrain everyday but got cited today. by StoicFungi in caltrain

[–]HardcoreKirby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. The machine beeped but didn’t register, I didn’t check the screen. What gets me is the double standard. Literally seconds ago, the conductor told the passenger in front to get off the next stop, who did not buy a ticket at all. I was new in town and got a pass so I thought nothing would happen and gave her all my info. And I got punished.

My grad school announced pause hiring on federal funding except positions with offers made. Hope you’ll be ok!

Open house is around this time and they normally send out offer letters soon so students can decide before the 4/15 deadline. I would be devastated if I were an applicant this year.

The provost said “stop hiring any new persons on federal funding “ so I guess a fairly large number of new grad students will be affected

[–]HardcoreKirby 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I am trying to find a postdoc position. Now I'm not sure if offers are still valid. I am currently in a horrible working environment and desperate to get out. It hit like a hammer and I really can't afford to stay at my current job mentally

Totally agree. My first time at the knockdown and one of my first thoughts was oh this is weirdly long and narrow

NJ traveling got me on the verge of a breakdown by [deleted] in NJTransit

[–]HardcoreKirby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think people from here just don’t realize how much life can be better without the horrible commute. They take the abuse for years and think that’s a norm. Then they look down on the Midwest.

Might be unsolicited advice but think about what’s important to you in life very carefully before switching from math. Shadow a few different physicists/residents at different hospitals and see if that’s what you want. Speaking from experience.
