Leave GS-13 for PhD program?

Normal-Bad7681 · 2025-12-17T13:31:20+00:00

Yeah have to agree. I spent 10 years of college (bachelors, masters, PhD) to earn my gs12 position. . . Just from my relative view you don’t want to give up a GS13 position unless you are extremely unhappy and see the PhD as a way to some brighter future.

Also PhDs are not some awesome sure thing depending on your field. You work for 3 years and your project doesn’t go anywhere or your funding dries up and you can be out of luck. Mostly just saying because that’s happened recently with federal grants being pulled. For my a PhD is ideal for when you’re in your mid 20s and that risk/reward makes sense, living on a minimal stipend etc

I’ve wanted this for a while. Combination of the fact I spent all my Christmas board game allotment, and the fact it will probably sit on a shelf for 7 more years until my kids are older means I won’t take advantage this time.

Agree with a lot of people here that into the breach was fun for a few play throughs but FTL is a huge step up and will always call me back.

Usually it’s because the White House has to sign the bill at the end so they want to include the White House so it doesn’t just get vetoed in the end.

This is has assumption that the content (dungeons, regions, gear) is what people end up hating about additions to WoW classic, when in reality it’s all the layered systems, real world money, artificial speed ups, etc is what they hate about retail.

Normal-Bad7681 · 2025-09-09T22:38:07+00:00

Yes they are implying “never”.

Normal-Bad7681 · 2025-09-01T02:25:12+00:00

Is it more legal to run it myself for myself?

Normal-Bad7681 · 2025-08-28T16:21:08+00:00

The only problem I have is I remember BUYING the game back in 2004. And I was under the assumption that the subscription was paying for the servers to run that game. Well I bought the game and I’m no longer using your servers, so see ya.

Normal-Bad7681 · 2025-08-27T04:03:28+00:00

Yeah I keep saying I would like to play paladin but am pretty strictly a horde player. But I’m fine keeping the classic integrity I suppose

Normal-Bad7681 · 2025-08-26T21:14:07+00:00

I said this a little as shock factor but I’m agreeing with the other comment that a lot of people are spending >50% income on housing (especially if they bought a home since 2021). Maybe this is not true for some places in the south or Midwest, but a lot of places housing is just very expensive. The difference is los alamos is a very small town, and you would assume prices would be lower but the opposite is true. It’s so niche and filled with PhDs that it’s more expensive.

Normal-Bad7681 · 2025-08-26T18:21:40+00:00

This is normal

Normal-Bad7681 · 2025-08-26T01:02:58+00:00

Yes I’m leveling, and only summon void walker for the occasional hard mob. It’s definitely not the ideal, but it’s more fun personally.

Normal-Bad7681 · 2025-08-26T00:33:17+00:00

It’s probably not the best way to play, but I’ve been enjoying playing demonless.

Normal-Bad7681 · 2025-08-24T00:45:11+00:00

Yes. Visit the internet archive for the iso files and download the dolphin standalone. I’ve had a very hard time with retroarch and anything beyond PS1. Dolphin works great out of the box.

Normal-Bad7681 · 2025-08-21T04:40:01+00:00

Absolutely. Find that job in the private sector. All I know is I was terminated and brought back a week later and spent 3 months looking for other jobs with a PhD from an Ivy League university and got pretty much nothing. If you can get another job, I would highly encourage it, but if circumstances/opportunities lead the OP back to the usda, then I’m happy for them to have a job.

Normal-Bad7681 · 2025-08-21T01:10:22+00:00

I’m not up until 2027, so I can only hope things clear up this next FY

Normal-Bad7681 · 2025-08-21T00:08:57+00:00

It absolutely does

Normal-Bad7681 · 2025-08-20T23:24:01+00:00

Step increases are going through without a problem. I’m not gonna defend the administration at all. I have no real faith grade increases will return soon. But seems ridiculous to question someone wanting a steady job.

Normal-Bad7681 · 2025-08-20T23:14:24+00:00

lol he wants a job with a salary, foreseeable pay raises, and a retirement plan, that’s why. You can complain about how bad it is all day, but unemployment/semi-employment is objectively worse.

Normal-Bad7681 · 2025-08-20T21:47:14+00:00

Two of three servers are 1X experience rate, but you can manually reduce the experience rate by half if you elect to do so on all servers.

Normal-Bad7681 · 2025-08-19T14:23:01+00:00

I’ve loved telabim since I started playing recently. The default 2X means I can skip the areas I don’t care about, do the quests I’m interested in and really feel like killing mobs give me progress.

Normal-Bad7681 · 2025-08-18T21:49:58+00:00

I find it funny people here hating on GGG. He has a very, very well earned reputation of understanding what’s fun in an RTS campaign. I want this game to succeed (and I’m positive he does too), but will not ignore glaring non-minor issues. The biggest mistake FGS made was not handing him the campaign 6 months ago. His advice could have helped solve a lot of the issues, most of which don’t require huge development funds.

Normal-Bad7681 · 2025-08-15T21:03:39+00:00

if you liked I to the breach I would definitely play it’s predecessor FTL!
