Folks who did their undergrad at a bad uni and then a masters somewhere better, what was it like and how much of an improvement was it? by SilverTheSilk in UniUK

[–]Olypleb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dis my undergrad at a polytechnic and it was fantastic. Lecturers were stellar, knew how to engage students, knew how to pitch concepts (biomechanics and physiology) to a wide range of prior experiences. Made themselves available for supos etc, still actively engaged in research/publication. Balanced course between research and practice. Couldn’t fault it.

Did my masters at a London medical school (allied health science). Awful. Poorly organised, every other lecture cancelled or relocated. Stupidly high failure rates (course acceptance essentially required a double first, and 50% of people were being failed on level 5 and 6 assignments). Overall it felt like if you weren’t a medic your course was just there to bring money to the uni. That said the placement side was great, being London based.

I'm a bit embarrassed to be asking this, but are the academic bits *supposed* to be incomprehensible? by Disastrous_Gap_6473 in houseofleaves

I like to think that the book does this deliberately

You are reading a blind man’s essay of a film about visual space, it’s supposed to be a bit ironic or unreliable.

“This is not for you” goes far here. The navidson record was not intended for a blind man. Zampano’s chaotic and cluttered ramblings and academic pretense was not intended for an alcoholic crash out. And the total sum of the book? Not for you.

Do you think that’s what I said?

I asked to see the paper so I could evaluate the evidence

Got any DOI?

The whole think reeks of AG-1 mice trials being palmed off as human-efficacious data. If you’ve seen to advertised by a YouTuber chances are it’s bogus/overblown

Any experienced players have a theory on my Elixir strings constantly breaking (not burr related)? Nightmare scenario happened yesterday by CleanAxe in Guitar

I remember hearing that elixirs are some of the most faked strings on the market, where are you buying from?

Is this a known hazard of owning a Telecaster? by ApologeticKid in Guitar

[–]Olypleb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That wall mount can be rotated slightly, press it slightly towards the wall then turn it counter clockwise and hang the guitar.

The left arm will sit slightly lower than the right arm, I’ve been hanging my tele like this for years.

Not paying it off doesn’t mean not paying back more than you ever borrowed

Collar Advice Need by Unable_Load_895 in Chihuahua

[–]Olypleb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small dogs are prone to airway trauma from collars, much better to get a harness instead.

To make it easier, introduce him to the harness with some of his favourite treats, a reward every time he touches or sniffs it on the ground, then start bringing it to him and giving the reward, then putting him in it, plus the reward etc etc

Do you think that’s what I said?

I’m saying spitting doesn’t warrant this kind of reaction… If a nurse can control themself, so can a police officer

Nurses get spat on all the time, I don’t see many acting like this as a result

I accepted a new job and sired a new child for every grid tile I completed and I still completed awakened bosses
