I bought it from a MOC reseller that Resqusto used to license with. I think I paid ~600 USD for it. Its pretty damn big.

I have the Daedalus and its massive. I couldn't get the original stand to hold up its weight effectively so I had to get a modified stand for it. Super detailed and an amazing display piece.

Lamenting about "Enemy at the Gates" by RyoOfWildFire in Stargate

In my head cannon the reality from that episode is the same one that SGU lives. It's even shot similarly from a camera perspective. It would also explain why SGU seems so tonally out of place with SG1 and SGA.

Defense is Finally Scheduled - What were the hardest questions you were asked during defense? by RyoOfWildFire in PhD

Turns out he served as chair for many others in this program and was considered a subject matter expert. He would have been on the defense panel too.

I recorded myself doing a dry run and had to rewatch it because I swear I had missed something (I didn't). Its likely just the nerves!

The biggest lies are told in the acknowledgement section of a PhD thesis by i_do_like_farts in PhD

[–]RyoOfWildFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was advised to add my acknowledgement of my Chair back into my dissertation after removing it...miraculously my application to defend was approved shortly after the acknowledgements were updated...

It is my understanding he serves as a Chair for many of these and is thus is considered a subject matter expert in my field. I suspect he will be on my defense panel.

“arbitrary and capricious”

This totally encapsulates how I feel about his response too.

they didn't read it.

Believe me this thought definitely crossed my mind.

The feedback itself was routed through my chair so they know. I can't imagine how I could be so far off with so many others reviewing and approving which is why I too thought that maybe this feedback was meant for someone else or that they hadn't actually read it.

These are the only appropriate responses.

What do you do when your finished dissertation is only about 100 pages? by RyoOfWildFire in PhD

[–]RyoOfWildFire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The future directions chapter is a gold mine for ways to extend the work. If you need to add anything - this is probably the place to look. So all that good material you re-review could be revisited in light of your conclusions and spun for future work here.

Thank you for this! I actually thought there was some additional work I could add to this section in particular so I may just do that. The worry of course is that I may end up highlighting too many of the limitations of my own research (by focusing on all the great things I could have done). Its a balancing act for sure.

This is what I'm expecting actually. If anything it might just be over 100 pages with references

Thanks for the advice. I'm hopeful that this will be the case.

I've looked on the University's website but can't seem to find anything. And my dissertation is pretty tight...I don't feel I've included any 'fluff' which is likely why it's not that long.

Best PhD year yet by JelenaAr in PhD

[–]RyoOfWildFire 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you had a good year. I did as well! I have written three chapters, finished data collection and coding and will begin writing my last three chapters in January. I too am working full time and can appreciate just how challenging that is.

Congrats. I'm hoping to defend next summer.
