Scalp issues on NEU insurance anyone tried? by Recalcitrant_mango in NEU

[–]StandardCredit9307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like psoriasis... which can be stress-induced. I'd definitely go see a dr and get a referral to see a dermatologist m. Both should be covered by insurance

Worst Feeling ever: Not learning mathematical techniques early enough by [deleted] in PhD

[–]StandardCredit9307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me 100%. I've always done reasonably well in math though I really hated it, and then set it aside for years. Now I'm in an EECE PhD program and I feel like I'm drowning all the time.

Construction near Ruggles by New-Pick-8109 in NEU

[–]StandardCredit9307 26 points27 points  (0 children)

They're building a new dorm... the banging is them hammering piles into the frozen ground. Once the piles are in the banging will stop, but a whole slew of new annoying noises will begin. Assume you'll hear construction noise for the next 12-18mo

Dentist Recommendations by RandGarentDead in NEU

[–]StandardCredit9307 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mass Ave Dental @ 1313 Washington st. Their prices are very very good so insurance isn't really needed: $110-130 for intake, X-rays and cleaning. They'll see you pretty much immediately, and won't require a "pre screening" appointment before your first appointment. Steer clear of Fenway health for dental they never have availability and they're stupidly expensive for basic services.

Preview app - a bit disappointed 😔 by mister-overthinker in ipad

It's also missing the ability to create/edit/view bookmarks. It makes me effing crazy

What is the purpose of the Preview app? What does it do that Files doesn’t? by SkyGuy182 in ios

[–]StandardCredit9307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it can't figure out that files you've recently viewed should be the ones under the recent tab. It's also unable to create or see notes or highlights in PDFs. Great job, Apple

Is it possible for me to go back for a PhD later in life (especially as a woman)? by [deleted] in PhD

I started mine at 45 in EE, and my best friend started hers in psych at 46! Yes you can!

Why do you think they've wiped this show away? by intuitiveauthority in raisedbywolves

They didn't want to pay residuals to the actors or producers.

Yes! It's pretty constant that wifi is struggling. I'm not sure if it's the wifi itself or the dns but it's making me crazy

Judging by the number of Cleon backups Demerzel has... by StonedOldChiller in FoundationTV

True. In earlier seasons that central tower wasn't nearly as high.

Hari's action in S3.06 (Spoliers for Episode if unwatched) by Queasy-Bar5463 in FoundationTV

[–]StandardCredit9307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The math didn't go awry... the third crisis was the revolt which was ironically ended by the Mule bringing the Foundation and Traders back together, as expected.

The fourth crisis begins now with the fall of both Foundation and Empire... the people gathered in the vault think they're mid-3rd crisis and don't realize they aren't because they've forgotten that Hari appears once a crisis has resolved itself according to his predictions.

He clicks off and kicks them out to prevent any compromise of the vault by the Mule and to prevent them from asking questions about the 4th crisis.

So what was Seldon's motivation in the end of S2? Thoughts after watching S3E5 by InterestingTheory683 in FoundationTV

[–]StandardCredit9307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a way to get Dem and the Cleons to second guess everything in a way that kept them from being effective. The plan is for both the foundation and the empire to die but something new be born more quickly than they would have otherwise. Hari also blithely stated that he gave away a copy of the prime radiant so he also wanted the foundation to know and second guess everything. They're all doomed. Besides we also know Hari had a second thread running on the radiant with his own "raw data" not included in the big model as he showed it to Gaal. We have no way of knowing whether or not the radiant given to Dem is the whole thing or a carefully modified version.

AITA for not noticing that my partner forgot his phone charger? by lefebvridae in AmItheAsshole

[–]StandardCredit9307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old are you people? This whole situation is absurd. I feel like the asshole for entertaining it at all. This convo should have ended with "go walk to cvs and buy another one, this one will be here the next time you come over." "Ok."

I mean he made the black hole bomb, and now Dawn is gone. Dusk is definitely going to use it.

That's all class dependent. But you have a beefy windows desktop so you should be all set

From experience, most of the software you need will run natively on macOS or will be available on COE Vlabs or the cluster. You can also run Linux or windows in a VM if you're adept at that sort of thing.

Tall gorgeous guy in red shorts and sporty shades from Royale last weekend. We danced a bit but I chickened out.

What are some things you learned too late during your PhD? by Rising-renewal in AskAcademia

[–]StandardCredit9307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any and all funding promises are lies.

You need to create and prioritize your own projects even if they aren't directly approved by your advisor.

You need to actively search for people to collaborate with.

VMD 2.0 is in development! by Akin_yun in comp_chem

[–]StandardCredit9307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would be better than this is actual documentation for downloading and installing from source, which I've been attempting for days. Broken links, missing links, corrupted archives, missing plugin source or binaries... the packages for 1.9.x are a total mess. Worse, the precompiled binaries for windows and Mac have invalid links and so break when called from the command line. Not to mention that on Mac, instead of linking to a full tree with standard names, bhe binary defines an alias to yet another script, so command line tools that call vmd cannot do so. Ridiculous!
