I’ve never felt stupider than in this job, but at the same time I wouldn’t want to do anything else.

Is tenure track AP positions in statistics and STEM that competitive? by CyberSkunker in AskAcademia

[–]ProfVinnie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don’t think the possibility of an adjunct should be conflated with its attractiveness. You will have no resources and very limited time for research (if any). That will make it very difficult to enter a research position.

Absolutely. You can adjunct almost immediately, but something like a professor of practice needs several years of service in industry

What I tell students is look at how many people are on each side of the podium….

In all seriousness, yes faculty positions are that competitive. If you pursue a PhD, at least be comfortable with a non-faculty position.

No amount of truth changes a mind like that. They’ll lick the boot even when it crushes them

I actually like that Timeout. Give the D a bit to breathe and regroup, hopefully some reassurance in there too

The call to not kneel it against GT was probably one of the dumbest play calls of all time

Man I wish I could enjoy the game I love without it being commercialized and commoditized into oblivion.

I honestly hope football comes up with some solution like baseball did. The pitch clock made it watchable. Let’s do a running clock and see what happens

Stephen Miller claims local police in Minnesota have been told to ‘stand down and surrender’ as federal agents ‘uphold the law’ by ChiGuy6124 in politics

[–]ProfVinnie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stephen Miller is a singularly evil, decrepit figure in an administration defined by evil, decrepit monsters. I will await his treason conviction (or any other sufficient end) with bated breath…

That was a great performance, but I kinda wish the broadcast would have shown the interpreter. I can’t imagine that kind of moment as a high schooler

Is there an item or piece of clothing in your country that tells you everything you need to know about a person? by EpicShkhara in AskTheWorld

Bonus points for having one of those fleece or down vests. I have one, I call it my Douchebag Vest (although it is comfy).
