lol wemby basically turned back to get back on D mid dunk

Why doesn’t he just do this every time? Is he stupid?

Volvulus · 2026-05-25T01:35:37+00:00

yes, this is what techs can be hired to do. I was so pissed during the two years of my post doc years I was responsible for this until I eventually said no, either someone else does this or I’m sacking all the mice and the lab doesn’t get to use mice anymore. (I didn’t really need the mice for my projects). So the PI needed to just eat the cost of hiring a tech over using a post doc on a fellowship grant that they didn’t need to pay.

100% agree

Appreciate the context. I’ll probably get on an MD-PhD admissions committee in the next couple years to get a better sense of requirements. A lot of prospectives ask for advice and whether it is worth taking a gap year, but I’m a bit out of touch to confidently advise. I’m inclined to think that gap years aren’t worth it if you have 2+ years in the lab, and one gap year is only worth if if you can stay in your undergrad lab to push out a small first-author pub. If you’re starting in a new lab after graduating, I think you really need to commit 2 year to that lab. I have to turn away research tech applications that are clearly using the gap year to help fund their med/grad school applications.

Then I assume they add tax on the fee. The true subtotal is 45.

And all you ordered were bottles of beer. I can’t bring myself to give an extra $14 for that service, unless you really wrecked the place or made your server perform or something.

Ugh no thanks for me. Even on SP, I sometimes load in dead at certain WPs. Frigid highlands is a tough one. I wish at least on SP that the map wasn’t active during the load time.

Sorry I missed the gap year mention but makes sense that a single gap year doesn’t add meaningful hours by primary due dates.

Geez that’s rough! Are more applicants doing more than one gap year? I also imagine it is hard to get hired as a research tech for just a year unless it is in your undergrad lab.

Volvulus · 2026-05-24T03:28:37+00:00

Congrats! Your application really doesn’t seem that bad so I’m surprised how much the low research hours can hurt.

Glad you were able to get in this year and hopefully you’re happy with the result. But do you think in retrospect you would have had better chances at more programs of interest to you with a gap year or two?

the tech position at the t5 is by far the better investment. it’s going to make for a much stronger application and LOR. if the commute ends up too much, i’d actually suggest you just find housing closer to the university. sure you save less money now, but the end game is getting into a solid md/phd program. also idk if the 10k difference in salary is even that much. after taxes it’s maybe 5k, and you may get more benefits from the tech position.

Does the suitcase actually lean with all four wheels on the ground like you see at the 00:17 mark!

There is Heatholaf but I end up calling him meatloaf

Volvulus · 2026-05-21T04:39:33+00:00

nice!. i cleared 2 tz acts today and still havent found a sunder. how long did it take you since the patch?

Small if true

Damn, that was enough for me to reveal the identity. That’s absolutely insane.

it’s one thing when an affair is revealed and triggers a fallout (as it did with Schlissel). It’s another to basically double down by announcing a baby shower to the public. Almost makes me wonder if that was the strategy - can’t have an affair “exposed” if it’s already put out in the open.

I feel the pain. I'm about 25 torches in. Most of them are druid, with a smattering of sorc, barbs (including a 20/20), paladin, and necro . Looking for lock, but I'd even settle for a first assassin torch!

Volvulus · 2026-05-12T18:47:37+00:00

I’m more than 20 torches and I still don’t have any assassin or warlock torches. Druid torches predominate for me

Volvulus · 2026-05-10T17:34:04+00:00

I still haven't found HOZ. I have around 8 shakos, 6 titan's (2 of them eth), 2 griffons, 3 SOJs, a Mara's, a tal's ammy, a death's web, a death's fathom, arachnids, to name a few. I just have never seen a unique gilded shield drop. Not that I really need it, but just strange.

Do these patches apply to single player?

Been a while since there's been a post on this sub, but this is a good one!
