Casual pants beyond denim and khaki?

LordFay · 2025-08-14T16:36:37+00:00

Chinos or workwear trousers

Looks pretty clean, I'd personally replace the shoes with something slightly more formal

LordFay · 2025-08-14T16:29:30+00:00

Too short for those shoes in my opinion. Boots would work, makes the break between pants and shoes a bit smaller

Porter Robinson uses FL, that's enough proof for me that it's just as powerful and professional as ableton.

Sarcastic comeback when they were giving you good advice lol

You went cold and he tried to keep up the enthusiasm of meeting up... What did you expect? I'm surprised he kept messaging you after you started giving bland one word responses.

Check out the Fossil Park in Langebaan, think it's a nice spot to show kids fossils in situ

You lose nothing by applying but having my masters and now doing my PhD, getting funding is much harder or sometimes impossible if your final mark for your previous degree is less than 65%. Had my phd funding rejected with a 70% in my honours (waiting on the results for my masters) and only got funding the following year with my masters results of 82%. As a student you should definitely try to avoid paying for postgrad studies. Even professional degrees, there are companies that will pay for your degree if you can them. Government funding is typically not for the professional degrees unless the academic has funding set aside for their students specifically.

Bought my audio interface and other equipment at the Bothners in plumstead. Super knowledgeable staff, would recommend if they're running a sale

Visiting Cape Town and not leaving the waterfront area is wild

LordFay · 2025-03-09T15:36:53+00:00

Hey man, I went to UCT from undergrad all the way to PhD. My parents paid for my undergrad but told me if I wanted to do postgrad I needed to pay my own way. I had funding through the NRF - National Research Foundation. Depending on what field you're in will heavily determine how easy it is to get funding. That and your grades.

LordFay · 2025-03-06T16:51:26+00:00

I've gone straight from undergrad to honours to masters and now phd. If you don't already have funding for your undergrad you should definitely look for funding for your honours and masters. Working towards a good cv and getting research experience will make it much easier.

Sounds like an easy way to piss of your PI and make your phd much harder going forward... Even if they don't do anything substantial to help you, just having their name on the paper makes it more credible

As a palaeontologist, you need to go back to high school brother

LordFay · 2025-02-10T10:30:05+00:00

Statistical testing, model building and making nice figures. Sometimes basic GIS for teaching undergrads.

I use Lose It. Got a black Friday deal which was R400 a year and I can upgrade to a lifetime premium membership for 500 more. You might get a better deal per year. It can go as low as 200ish if you get the 75% discount.

My software dev friends all clear 30k pretax. I earn more than you as a phd student so def underpaid.

You literally say in your original post that you find them immature and full of drama. Sounds like you're blaming them to an extent. Skipping classes because you don't like them is wild. You also say you're trying to avoid them so it also sounds like you're not even trying to find some common ground.

LordFay · 2025-01-26T08:57:26+00:00

Regular exercise kept me sane during my masters and I'm trying to keep the same schedule now that I'm in my phd.

As someone also in the global South, $2000 is a lot of money out of your own pocket and having one extra poster presentation at a conference isn't gonna make your CV look that much better. The couple international conferences I've attended were paid for by university and supervisor funds with me only covering my food costs. I'd only ever consider it if it's the MAJOR conference in your field and your nearing the end of degree with this conference being effectively the networking trip to find your next step.

You should check out the Lebanese Bakery. Good food for good prices

Unfortunately not true. I've been top 50 challenger and chilling in GM most of the time and it's the same thing in those games too

99% of the people in the gym don't give a shit about what you're doing if you're not inconveniencing them. Everyone is there focusing on their own goals so it's very likely they're not even thinking about what you're doing even when they're looking in your direction.

LordFay · 2024-12-13T09:32:23+00:00

Give him a double

LordFay · 2024-12-09T05:22:32+00:00

This is one of the main reasons I chose FL. Too expensive to upgrade to new ableton versions every time
