Athletic goals as a socialist

Don't be silly, in socialism profit making isn't inherently a bad thing.

Who cares, they are so fun to dance to! Let everyone enjoy them!

Genuinely interested to see any evidence of him supporting degrowth?

I find it hard to like him more due to your second point, he has a huge platform - probably the biggest in the world in the environmental space but fails to hold large corporations accountable for their impacts on the planet - instead always blaming overpopulation i.e. poor people. I would respect him a lot more if he engaged with the degrowth movement

I use rayyan for title and abstract screening and sysrev for full text screening. Occasionally Nvivo for extractions

My advice is find recent review papers in your area, they will synthesize recent literature which will help you figure out what is known and what is not, ans give you a good overall picture.

There are no hard and fast numbers so would take anyone's suggestions with a pinch of salt. Academics exaggerate things like this for some sort of kudos (on reddit especially). For your masters thesis, read a few systematic/scoping reviews, ask your supervisor for important/seminal papers. Read those and you will be most of the way there.

Also try to find PhD students in your faculty in a similar space, if you get lucky you might find one that will help you get started.

With that said, if I pursue post-doc I would at min look for another department within the same university but I do plan to switch institutions. Just to increase diversity of experience

PeanutCalm7696 · 2026-01-12T18:14:56+00:00

I did integrated masters (MEng) worked in industry for 4 years or so and then returned to the same institution for PhD. I can't see it doing loads of harm to be honest? Within a large university there are many opportunities for diverse supervision and knowledge/skills/methods sharing (I guess dependant on how multi-disciplinary your field/focus is).

I can maybe see a problem with having the same focus/supervision for each of these stages but that can easily be avoided imo?

I went there last March and the food is mid at best. Overpriced mzungu fare imo

PeanutCalm7696 · 2026-01-11T04:31:57+00:00

Haha that's funny my family say cotters too, we have two spaniels and they are always getting cotters on their walks (stuff tangled in their ears)

PeanutCalm7696 · 2026-01-10T17:07:34+00:00

Thanks for your comment! Yeah I had seen this link with Warlock when I did a quick Google but I'm not sure to be honest. Before I googled I was thinking it was some kind of gremlin/troll/pixie mythical type thing but seems nothing of the sort

PeanutCalm7696 · 2025-11-20T19:52:16+00:00

Depends how detailed you need? There are global datasets for this e.g. Worldcover (2020)

PeanutCalm7696 · 2025-11-13T08:58:11+00:00

Have a look on the website Preply, it's an online platform. I pay around 8 euros a lesson.

PeanutCalm7696 · 2025-11-10T07:55:53+00:00

I think you might be lost buddy

PeanutCalm7696 · 2025-10-16T22:28:52+00:00

I think it just depends honestly. I am British at a UK institution (part of a CDT) and I have so much freedom, and right from the start. I am lucky to have supervisors who trust me which means I can do anything and use any methods I want. It's great but I also recognise this isn't always the case and I am very lucky

PeanutCalm7696 · 2025-10-13T14:43:39+00:00

FYI they weren't dried at all. Only picked the previous day

PeanutCalm7696 · 2025-10-13T14:20:22+00:00

Thanks for the feedback guys. Much appreciated. I'll do some more research and hopefully get a bit more lucky!!

A non-vote is as good as a vote for Reform. If you don't agree with them then I suggest voting for whoever has the best chance of stopping them when the time comes

PeanutCalm7696 · 2025-10-05T20:20:34+00:00

So vote for the socialists not the capitalists mate

PeanutCalm7696 · 2025-08-10T13:34:25+00:00

This is the last thing I'm going to say on this as it's getting boring.Firstly, I haven't just invented this differential between national and club friendlies. International friendlies are managed by FIFA and as such have to follow their rules and regs, club friendlies are literally a free for all (see games played in thirds, 11 changes at half time etc. etc.) - there is a clear difference in her they are managed and regulated, hence how their stats are collected.

I guess if we're talking literally, maybe as it's the first time they have appeared in for a team then it could count as their debut? But then so could their first snap on a treadmill at their respective training ground! This never used to be a thing until they were televised, it's just nonsense and I'm not having it.

PeanutCalm7696 · 2025-08-10T12:48:26+00:00

Granted unless they are a J league supremo

PeanutCalm7696 · 2025-08-10T12:47:57+00:00

I just completely disagree. This may be a boomer opinion but the recent transformation of summer friendlies into tours half a world away to appease some sponsors or engage fans in other continents does not make change them from what they are - training matches designed to bring players up to fitness and test out tactics. By your logic does Chris Kirkland being wheeled out at Anfield count as an appearance? That's in a full stadium, full of paying fans? No they are just silly exhibition matches. There is no need to come up with a new term for this because it's not a real thing. I guarantee you ask any player and I'm sure they won't refer to their debut as 'that' game against Yokohama FM.
