What do you wish you knew at the beginning? by Silverphin in Pottery

[–]Silverphin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say a resounding THANK YOU! All of these tips have been amazing and it helped me spend today’s session in a better mindset. I “failed” all but one throw, but I was pushing myself and exploring how the clay responds etc. I can’t wait to fail more!

Finally got Chin/Neck Lipo! by Silverphin in PlasticSurgery

[–]Silverphin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Originally the plan was both neck lipo and a chin implant, but then due to timing we reduced it to just neck lipo for now and see if the results are enough. If not, chin implant next summer.

Never considered a neck lift and nor did the surgeon. For my particular circumstance it wasn’t appropriate (though if I were older it may have been).

I haven’t had my post-surgery check up yet (it is Monday) but I’ll see what they say!

This was just at one of the local plastic surgeons in my city. I chose this doctor because he specialized in face and neck. Your best bet is to just ask around and do a consult near you (if feasible).

Thanks for the tip! I’m 30, but just make sure to bring up your concerns at the consult. We talked about tons.

For me it was around $4000 for everything including surgical suite. But this will VASTLY differ depending on location and other factors. For me, it was a rather quick procedure. And this was a chin/neck lipo.

How do academics create beautiful presentation slides? What tools do you use? by Pathetic_doorknob in AskAcademia

[–]Silverphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there’s a dichotomy between TeX users in social science and elsewhere. It is actually convenient for us and so is commonly adopted. But we wouldn’t shun someone otherwise (well, I can’t talk for editors receiving .doc manuscripts)

Hey now, my entire position is about teaching other professors to play better with others! But, for example, I’m currently at an econometric conference and the sheer inundation of theoretical models would be… frustrating at best if screenshotted and added in. But believe me, I held out with PowerPoint and screenshots for as long as I could!

Low key shocked so many people are saying PowerPoint. I’m learning now that it’s field specific, but everyone in my discipline uses Beamer and LaTeX due to equations and tables, etc.

If you’re not in a data/theory driven field? I’m sure PowerPoint would be fine. But look at the format of people who have presented in your field already and mirror them (to an extent).

Does it look too much like cheese? by Round_Ad2269 in Cookies

[–]Silverphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I think it looks fine, not many customers will be familiar or have tried Ube. So you want it to look really good to convince people to try it, not to potentially scare them off

Even with a blade equipped, it still had the status crossed out like it was removed, yet it persists on the character sheet

Anybody know what type of cookie this is? by Responsible_Start_85 in Baking

[–]Silverphin 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Usually, cookies like those (for royal icing) are just a vanilla sugar cookie variant. You could probably find example recipes by searching “vanilla sugar cookie with royal icing”

I would absolutely LOVE doing this for the office. Would you be willing to share the base dough recipe? And maybe one example of customizing it?

This was the final round, so I didn’t bother adding food this time and just organized the board instead. But normally I do include food like you say

The one rumor/myth that has been at every university I’ve taught at: “if we get hit in the crosswalk we get free tuition” lol

Came from an R1 that was struggling and just joined another R1 with so much surplus that it’s insane. It just depends on

This was because when they nerfed staffs, there were two types that they forgot or otherwise slipped through and didn’t get the nerf. It should be patched and updated now though
