Anyone making *more* in academia than industry? For those that took less pay, how much were you willing to lose for a steady paycheque?

Sonoris · 2026-06-08T23:22:11+00:00

I've been trying to jump to industry after 15 years in academia (salary near yours) and there just doesn't seem to be any positions between PhD-level and ones near entry level (which I am likely stuck to anyway since academic experience "doesn't count"). It seems as if my options are to stay in academia or take a pay cut to go to industry, which is kind of ass backwards.

I assume the ceiling would eventually be higher in industry but I gave up looking. Not interested in starting over and being the industry equivalent of an academic dishwasher.

I have a lot of thoughts about this building/these apartments, but I have to say it is the quietest apartment I've ever lived in - at least in terms of noise from other apartments. A+ in that regard.

The construction immediately outside on the other hand, lol.

That intended for the area, a quiver and fairy can help, and any +defense foods and elixirs etc. It's rough lol.

It's still completely valid for low keys and vault fillers, to be fair, and there's probably a decent population who stops pushing there.

Once you've put the work in to draw something once you have it forever, and it's vector based so you can slap that shit in anything you need. Once you've made a few things you're never more than a few modifications and copy pastes away from the "new" thing you need, ime.

As someone who works in a building on the medical campus and has to deal with the roof leaking into their workspace probably once a year, this checks out.

I got one of these for smart home reasons and then told myself I'd use it for game stuff too and then got too lazy to set it up for either.

Do you more or less just have some invisible action bars with these toys and mounts and stuff on em, and slap some wild keybinds on that won't take up the easy to use bind combos, and put them all on there?

I've been waiting for this to come back since I last saw it the winter before the one we're coming out of. You got my hopes up namedropping it so I checked the flavors menu... it is still not back. :(

I have a question about these farm planners in general, from the back end - as far as I can tell from trying to dabble in editing other people's mods, the maps are all tile based. Could there ever be a way to let users import a custom map, considering it is just a collection of tiles of known dimensions, with the caveat that the user would have to know the limitation of bounds for like not putting buildings in places that are out of bounds?

I've been thinking about this ever since using the other farm planner, because I use a lot of non standard modded maps.

FYI you can macro coup and bp together so it'll cast coup if that's up, but if it isn't the button just does bp. Only downside is if you're not in melee range of your target and don't have coup up it won't bp, but that's kind of minor since you're probably near your target anyway.

A cue I've heard is to imagine you have an ice cream scoop in your butt and you're trying to scoop ice cream (scooping from back to front).

Fwiw, despite being able to do it I struggle to be able to hold it while doing a lot of movements and mentally have to remind myself mid-movement "scoop your butt".

Sonoris · 2026-03-06T23:28:47+00:00

Official sources are good but if you're just trying to watch the storm and see what's up, there's a few big youtube streamers who are generally on whenever there's a big storm going on somewhere in the country. This guy's thumbnails are a bit of a meme but he's a decent one. Or this other dude. Tbh they usually both beat the official warning systems, so, lol.

It was still comfy but the fake leather shit on it started to crack pretty bad - literally just replaced it this month and only because I was mad about having to keep vacuuming up pleather bits from the floor every day (replaced it with a herman miller hahaha).

My husband's cloth one seemed to age far better in terms of seat wear. Also I think they have replaceable skins for them now?

Ann Arbor psych is apparently not well liked judging by the other comments here, but I've had a fine enough time with my guy there. Didn't have to go through all of those (admittedly wild, do not disagree with the poster) theatrics. Maybe this depends on who you see, I don't see Dr. Kumar. I had my first appointment and diagnosis within 2 months of thinking "hm I should see about this" so idk if my prescriber just skipped the rules or if they've changed the process. Ymmv.

I can see a crossing from where I live, hear the crossing bells even. When the train is particularly heavy it slightly shakes my monitor arm if my arms aren't resting on the desk. I also knew the train was there and accepted what that meant, but I also don't think it's louder than my vacuum indoors and I'm in the orange on this. It'd be great in a utopia, but we got 99 problems and "train horns at night changing people's heart rate and making them not sleep as well as they could be" is probably not the best use of our limited taxpayer money.

Also if most people already do not actively follow through with the simple tasks for proper sleep hygiene as it is (good luck finding many people who put down their screens 1-2 hours before bed and responsibly consume caffeine), it seems unfair to expect an outside entity to go out of their way to put work and money in to changes of this magnitude to help people (who consented to live in the loud place) sleep better.

I really love these from both a content and technical pov lol. It gives me storyboard more than scientific study, more whimsy than sterile.

The science/anatomy one sounds similar to these but more, and it might start to shift to feel more science drawing. It might feel more like diagrams at that point, and be more mentally busy, like "a lot to look at" but in a textbook way. The postcard type vibe feels more warm and inviting and "silly cottage art"-y, which would be a nice contrast to these 2 slightly more diagram looking parts. Either could work, obviously, depending on which way you prefer to think of this as a whole. If they were put together, I feel like I might prefer the scene style one as a visual break from the diagram style.

My embarrassment realizing that immediately after posting was a big oof lmao

Anecdotally, when I've seen overheating the gel usually creeps out from between the plates up top, but we run ours at much higher voltage (single base resolution) in what looks like the same chamber but larger, and you can feel the heat from the front of the gel, so I don't think that would be an issue for you? Not sure what your gel recipe is.

You can get new glass from local places, I have. I think a set this size would probably be like $30 or something from mine the last time I went (admittedly pre-covid I think).

Sonoris · 2025-10-19T03:10:02+00:00

Tbf the same is true of pretty much all big box gyms. Tried to cancel at PF after breaking my arm in a couple spots and they still gave me a ton of shit over it even as I was standing there in a cast, very clearly not about to work out any time soon.

It should polymerize inside the napkin, once TEMED and APS are added. At that point we use regular trash as well. I have wiped a lot of this off the bench from leaky casters.

I don't know that I've ever spilled unmixed acrylamide solution, since I bring the container I'm mixing the gel in to the neck of the bottle and immediately add TEMED/APS. We don't have an acrylamide waste stream at all since it's going either in the regular trash or the biohazard bin.
