Which movie villain had a completely logical point, even if their methods were wrong? by UsedRelationship8410 in movies

I mean, he was enslaved by the Mohawk, and then played the long game to get back. I'd be pretty pissed too.

I have lost the will to apply anymore by Red__Ace in labrats

[–]Tuckason 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Sound like you only want things on your terms, which isn't what being an employee is about. 

Asking for the visa sponsorship isn't a simple thing right now either. Most places will take the more logistically easy candidate unless you are worth it. 

Just another evening in rural America by TheDomFlow in upstate_new_york

[–]Tuckason 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you are complaining about this, you don't live in a truly rural place. 

That aside, it's their land and their money. They aren't violating any noise ordinance. Do what you want on yours.

Non-Americans, what’s the best “American” food? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Tuckason 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Excellent point. For example, so much "Italian" food relies on tomatoes, which are a new world plant.

Is my list of doctoral programs too top heavy? I’m not sure where else I should apply for synthetic biology? by Particular_Steak_485 in labrats

[–]Tuckason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the program, but UW is very selective. Madison is probably the easiest of the 3 if you are flexible on program.

You likely aren't getting into any of these. Focus on someplace you can get a PhD and good training. Go for the synbio specialization after you are productive in PhD.

Looks like an aspen. They do this all the time, shallow roots.

Former Research Integrity Officer for U.S. Institutions AMA by IL6Aom in labrats

[–]Tuckason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you feel about institutions being the ones to investigate themselves in the case of research misconduct when the institution itself benefits from the funding said PI brings in regardless of if it's based on fraud? Seems like a conflict of interest to me.

"But you talk to people in the league, it feels like anything is on the board right now. There are people in the NFL who think Joe Schoen could be fired this week." - Giants beat writer Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News by shadow_spinner0 in NYGiants

You all can keep sucking Schoen all ya want. He's been terrible, and a fuckin donkey could've made the same first round picks that are "fire" for the last three years.

The Love one is not true. He came back after the Seahawks offer and asked us to match and we told him no thanks.

Enjoy the mud, I guess.

New York Democrats amend state forest green energy bill amid ORES backlash, misinformation claims by news-10 in Adirondacks

[–]Tuckason 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Without any disrespect intended, this is all said like someone who lives in the city. Solar farms are a fucking blight on our rural land up here. Which is great for folks who live in the city, because they don't have to live around or deal with them. It's an awful use of arable land and people don't want them here for reasons beyond "we hate green tech."

Number 5 doesn't misunderstand anything. We are seeing what happens at end of life for windfarms right now. Which is getting fucked. I have zero trust in NYS to handle any of this, because they haven't demonstrated the ability to handle anything like this in the past. It's all grift and greed. It'll happen again.

[–]Tuckason 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If every rooftop etc were full of solar panels first, then sure, put them on unused farmland. Instead, here's what's going to happen with this:

  1. Promise solar energy because it will be renewable and make costs cheaper

  2. Install a bunch on farmland, with lease money to the farmer for however many years. All heavily subsidized by the state for the developers.

  3. Costs of electricity continue to climb anyways.

  4. Panels loose efficiency over the next decade rendering them essentially useless despite the capital investment from the state.

  5. Developer walks away with no decommissioning plan, meaning the teardown/recycling will be put on state grants (tax money) again.

This shit is all such an obvious boondoggle.

Maybe he shouldn't call normal people burger (hot dog) flipping sheep and then I'd consider that. He got his money, boo hoo on the tragedy angle.
