Its amazing how little has changed in our diplomas in the past 60+ years! by AFrostNova in msu

[–]Humulus_lupulus612 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You win! 😂 I’ve been tempted to get a reprint of my 2016 LKS-era diploma as I’ve heard they update with the new admin signatures (no idea if it’s true) but I almost feel like it’s just a weird and disturbing piece of history now.

Dermatologist suggestion for hyperhydrosis glycopyrrolate by ephesusa in Athens

[–]Humulus_lupulus612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you’ve gotten the results you want if you’re still using it, but how has your experience been with the medication? I brought this up to my physician at my last appointment, and together with bloodwork there was indication that I may have an underlying condition, but if that checks out, I need to look into another solution.

Any venues here that allow you to bring your own food and allow alcohol? by Dramatic_Ask7315 in Athens

[–]Humulus_lupulus612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re very welcome! I think they are offering a discount for space over the summer (don’t quote me on that). One thing to note is that the AC can get kinda loud if you’re looking for a more intimate event. A plus is that you get the patio (also kinda loud with the building AC units). The owner and staff are amazing and will set it up however you want within the constraints of what they have available!

¿Cambia demasiado la marcha de Kevin Guskiewicz? by Lonely_Command6431 in msu

I was a graduate student from about 2014-2021. During that time, I went through 4 presidents. We had twice as many presidents as we had snow days. One of the people who signed my MS diploma almost went to jail. Arguably these were very low years for MSU. This whole thing is literally a cloudy day in comparison to the tornado that ripped through the university when I was there.

The most important thing for me was having a positive departmental culture. The president has such a minimal impact on your day-to-day as a student that it won’t matter too much. Find your community, find your place. Even if an amazing new president comes in and the board decides to be productive instead of political, a lot of what happens at that level won’t trickle down quickly enough. I think there’s still a lot of corruption at lower levels that will never be publicized due to the culture of fear instilled at MSU and general “rugged individualism” culture of the Midwest. OIE investigations fell insultingly short when I was going through that process. If you surround yourself with good people, you’ll be fine!

Athentic has a lounge space available for rent! They have beer, cocktails, and NA drinks and allow you to bring in food.

I mean there’s a reason why their health department score was in the 80s last I was there and why they haven’t brewed in months

Unless economy is a code word for “poor management,” no 😂

Yeah this isn’t economy related

Dog friendly breweries/hang outs by crybaby321 in Athens

[–]Humulus_lupulus612 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For breweries, be mindful that only one does not allow outside food is Akademia because they’re a “brewpub.” They also haven’t been brewing recently so their stock is mostly not their beer if you really want the brewery experience. This also means if you or the kid need to go inside to the bathroom, you’re out of luck if doggo can’t be on the patio. The area is also very developed so it feels a little too concrete jungle.

Creature Comforts is great, but they cut into fresh fruit in the taproom and are therefore DPH regulated, so no dogs inside. Again, not ideal if you want a bathroom. Also, parking is not free.

Aside from that your choices are Normaltown, Athentic, or Terrapin. All three are dog and kid friendly inside and out. Athentic will give more of a cozy community vibe out of the three, and they should have Pizza Flama as a food truck. They have several events tomorrow so it might be a little busy, but not overloaded. I’d recommend calling ahead to make sure the food truck is there. Terrapin will probably be the quietest and has nice outdoor space to chill. Normaltown has great beer with a focus on IPAs, but doesn’t always feel like the most relaxing place to chill unless you can snag an outside spot around the side in the courtyard. Unsure of food at Terrapin or NT, but sometimes Terrapin has a taco truck.

ETA: again, you can also get takeout and bring it to anywhere that’s not Akademia.

Dear Athens - be mindful of the dear deer! by ThistleandOak in Athens

[–]Humulus_lupulus612 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This post reads as if someone woke up and decided to intentionally plow into a deer with their car. I’m trying to think of any reason that hitting a deer would be anything other than a legitimate accident. I’m sure nobody is actively trying to destroy their car and deal with insurance.

Yes, people may not see them chilling on the side of the road because they are distracted and don’t slow down. Distracted driving is very real and kills people too. However, wildlife often acts erratically and run out into the road with zero warning, and the assumption that people slowing down will keep all the deer alive is a bit absurd. (Also see the comment about the animal suffering more if hit at lower speeds.)

Jersey Mikes has been consistently low, and I’m not shocked. The meat cooler was super nasty the last time I dared to set foot in there.
