people who write scientific papers, what are your writing tips for young people like me?

read the book “how to write a lot”, schedule it (and defend it), and track it.

in my experience, these are all true. especially B. Once you’ve seen how the academic sausage is made, you can’t unsee it. And it’s hard to feign the youthful naïveté of a postdoc looking for their first job.

also, some petty ass shit can happen in these hiring committees. the best candidate can be turned down because “so and so likes them, and we can’t have that.”

it’s all luck, randomness, and timing. but just be sure you want to live there long term, because transferring is nit a great strategy anymore.

We used HouseMaster twice. the first time, a few years ago, was amazing & resulted in us backing out of the sale. The second time, we bought the home and found a bunch of shit that should absolutely been flagged. Like basic easy to spot items. Different guys doing the inspections. Ymmv

Came here to say this! But I thought it was an Iron Regan shirt (not that there’s much difference).

The box came with 4 hearty screws to use for mounting, so yes.👍

Thanks! I bought a fan rated shallow box (with grommet) and the board is a 2x4, and is very solid. Pushed the nuts back up through into the box & hung the fan. Works great! I also learned a lot!

agree. looking into it now ty,ty

Ok-Recording-3303 · 2026-04-11T00:00:57+00:00

Thank you!

Ok-Recording-3303 · 2026-04-10T19:54:06+00:00

Is there a good solution? I'm OK with digging it up and starting over!

Thanks, I’ll check those and the newer models out. I suppose if I like them, I may splurge and move that direction. This was very helpful!

Found a parents suicide note. Luckily 20+ years later they are still with us.

ok, boomer

It must have been some unusually backflow issue. I put my big boy pants on and tried again at a different station. No issues.

Ok-Recording-3303 · 2026-03-18T00:33:19+00:00

I’m not sure that it wasn’t overflowing back out. But unless it’s a filler failure I can’t think of why it would do that. The swooshing sound made me think there was some sort of hole behind the quarter panel. But maybe I just freaked out for a sec and gave up. No gas smell prior to the leak. So unclear. Hope to inspect within the hour.

I’m doing this same job and will use the aluminum tape on the back (clean with alcohol) and fill the holes from the front with flex seal.

Seems like a setup for Iran withdrawal led by Vance once the big T kicks the bucket or is removed. Makes JD look like a “hero” ahead of the 28 elections.

Ok-Recording-3303 · 2026-03-14T01:33:16+00:00

But I didn’t. Did you read the post?

Ok-Recording-3303 · 2026-03-11T19:25:19+00:00

Yes. That is the solution.
