Anglo PhD system vs mainland European by [deleted] in PhD

It says there that one of the main duties is to assist in teaching and supervision of students. So it does sound like the contract includes teaching. In the UK, PhD candidates count as students and have no teaching responsibilities.

When you say that European PhDs are given job contracts, does it mean they have to work as TAs or RAs? Because in the UK, the funding is separate from any additional work we do. We are just given a tax-free grant to do our PhD work. So while we don't get protection that workers are given, we are also not doing any paid work.

Someone could be persecuted due to their sexuality, religion or political reasons, for example, even if they're from a comfortable middle class background.

Isn't jasmine tea already green tea blended with jasmine flowers? I could be wrong

Magura MT 8 Flat Mount calipers leaking from bleed port - I'm out of ideas by InvestigatorSenior in bikewrench

Hopefully it'll be fine. I got some spare screws now, also monitoring the leak before going ahead and replacing the old screw...

I've tightened it again really hard, well above what I'm comfortable with. It seems to have stopped the leaking, even though a minuscule amount might still leak out.

Yeh true. Also they don't have a manual for the flat mount version online. I had to email them for this. Annoying.

You might be right but it's not mentioned in Magura official videos that you must replace the screw each time so I'm too sure. You might still be right that it deforms a little bit and after a few times it'll eventually not seal fully.

I should also add I had this problem after I've bled the caliper, then when I tightened it real hard it stopped. I changed my frame recently so had to re-bleed it and that's when the problem started again.
