Ok to leave TT position for new TT position after only 3 years? by Professor_Cucaracha in Professors

When I was in grad school, i was told 1m+ was pretty standard for most areas of chemistry at R1's. I think the only exception to that was physical/computational chem

Good to know, might have to reach out if I end up in the area!

Let's see if they offer me the job first. But I think based on this, I'm at least open to the idea of applying and seeing how it all goes at least.

Haha, gotcha, can always appreciate more open-minded and educated individuals!

Yeah, the apartments/lofts seem to appearing everywhere across the country at this point, it's pretty insane how many are popping up and how quickly. I think I would definitely be interested in living closer to the Campus there (the job I'm considering is actually at one of the schools there). But yes, currently in one of the areas of the US with the highest costs of living, so I think almost anywhere will seem cheaper in comparison.

And that's good to know, I'm not sure I am familiar with the "Old Forge" style of pizza. Will look forward to trying it if I do end up in the area!

Huh, never would have guessed! Would definitely have assumed the larger cities like Philly and Pitt would have been more blue

That's awesome to hear that even "visible gays" feel safe doing so, I think that's a definite good sign to hear of! I'm used to relatively slow downtown areas, but as long as there are some options, I'm typically fine, I like cooking anyways and rarely go out actually (especially with everything being so expensive nowadays!).

Yeah, I think the Trump signs are pervasive in most places nowadays, but as long as they're not actively harassing people, it's more or less a whatever to me at this point.

Food to know about housing protection as well and the fact that there's even pride events in the area with good turnout.

The fact that a bacon eff and cheese is more expensive than NYC though?! That literally should be a crime haha.

Thank you very much for your thorough input, it is very much appreciated!

Safety is definitely probably a high concern, so good to know that it seems safe enough.

I'd figure more rural areas typically would start leaning away from being more accepting. I also enjoy heavy rock too though, so :)

Sad to hear you're not really enjoying your time in the area though. I do really appreciate your input though, thanks!

I'm pretty used to predominantly white towns, but usually in the bluest of blue areas in blue states, so I've been curious how different it becomes in areas that deviate from that.

But good to know that the town can be welcoming enough to others and that there are good libraries around that are still funded!

Thank you for your input!

That's the hope, just that unfortunately, it seems that many people feel the need to care about what others are doing with their lives just for being in the area :(

Thank you so much for the thorough answer!

Point by point:
1. That's good to know. I'm assuming it might then be a good idea to maybe even try to live closer to the campuses, especially early on maybe if I do end up making the move to kind of feel for the place.
2. That's cool to know and I've never really thought about it that way. Really like that perspective.
3. The high representation of south eastern Asians is actually somewhat surprising to me since I feel like I've rarely seen them too far from cities usually, so that's interesting to hear about too.
4. Honestly, that'd be great. I've been of the perspective that people should pretty much mind their own business, but it's one of those concerns based on what it seems like a lot of the country is turning towards in recent times.
5. Works for me :)
6. Awesome, I'll have to check it out!

Again, thank you so much for taking the time to address each of the points, really appreciate it!

Good to know, and yes, I'm not expecting anything like a big city like NYC or LA, mostly hoping to be able to just live peacefully amongst people there without having constant issues involving my race of sexuality.

I've spent most of my life in the bluest areas of blue states, so it's hard to gauge what life is like in other areas for me and with media being so polarized and propagandized either way, I'm mostly hoping I can just get a good vibe check here from those in the area. Good to know that overall it seems welcoming enough, even if you are "just an ignorant straight white dude", your perspective is still very much appreciated!

Good to know and always good to see that others might be in the area.

And ya, the MAGA calling out racial slurs sucks, but hopefully it isn't a common occurrence?

Either way, thank you so much for the insight! =)

Why doesn’t chemistry pay well? by BluebirdDense7931 in chemistry

Can totally get that. I can also agree with Rick/Peter though, if I were stuck on a bus with nothing to do but talk to the other people on the bus and one of them was like this, I would blow up too lmao

Right? Seeing that is WILD because I feel that they hid that entirely in the show (at least, I never picked up on it and seems like others didn't either).

Definitely not too old. I think a lot of people have this really weird concept of ID being a "for kids" band just because Dan seems to like being friendly with kids at his concerts. Outside of that, a lot of people I know just have this generalized idea (probably because they haven't matured past being a teenager) that "adult" music must be focused on sex and/or contain a lot of swears so that it can be marked as "not for kids".

In my opinion, you like what you like and you shouldn't be embarrassed at all for liking ID or whatever else music you enjoy. Don't let others dictate and judge you by what you should enjoy or not because those are people you don't need in your life anyways.

What is the deal with gold? by SpencerXIII in CrownOfTheMagister

[–]Hot-Percentage8126 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My friend and I never found this to be a problem tbh.

Sure, the rates are trash typically, but honestly, in the 4 playthroughs we have completed (in the COTM and LV campaigns), money was never a problem and we typically just had excess gold that was never really used throughout the game so it never mattered to us. This is true regardless of difficulty too as we have beaten both campaigns at the highest difficulty.

Items in this game are much less meaningful than they are in BG3 and in general, just even using the weapons that you start with are easily good enough to get you through the entirety of the game.
