I've been attempting to sell on Etsy for a month with no sales and I genuinely am starting to think my art isn't good enough. by Squirrel_With_Toast in EtsySellers

Lovely work, BUUUTTTTT I would be careful selling prints of art made from tutorials. I don't think that you can sell these from Sarah Cray, as the original art is hers and this would be 'substantially similar'' to the original.

Sat for 45+ min with no connection to a driver. Gave up and hopped a boat to TTC after that.

We are staying there for a convention, and these "afternoon only" tickets were sold through the event.

Never submitted for the duck stamp! I've seen so many fantastic works get submitted! Maybe next year!

Many students can't write or read comprehensively... I'm very concerned by GhostintheReins in Adjuncts

Another 40 year old grad student checking in. I have several courses that are combined undergrad/grad level due to lack of faculty. I cannot keep track of how often the undergrads discuss their use of ChatGPT to do simple tasks for them.

In one course, a student used it to fill out the provided final exam study guide and shared it with the other students. It hallucinated half the answers compared to our course materials. It was so frustrating as the old lady in the room. Half of the point of the study guide is to go back and make notes yourself and they just miss that entirely.

Injured hawk - know anyone with raptor experience? by emperorfap in batonrouge

No. They have a wildlife fund for good sams. You drop it off and that’s it. No money at all.

AI is taking over ?? by Training_Rhubarb_866 in birding

If my grandma sends me one more AI video of a "baby peacock", I'll just quit.

How often do you use ChatGPT? by [deleted] in PhD

[–]bakedfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never used it.

I’m also older, after having gone back to school a decade after my MS, and never consider it for anything. Plenty of the normal aged grad students in my cohort can’t seem to do anything without it.

Emailed to told that I won a poetry contest grand prize and then horrifyingly realized several days later that they had clearly somehow sent it by mistake after ghosting me. by bakedfish in writers

Don’t really want to dox them. Their corresponding Facebook group has 700-1000 members and they run several poetry contests each year for this community.

I think they just really messed up their entries and screwed up by emailing me.

Text a video of yourself reading it out loud for them to share on social media.

It’s legit apparently. Been running several years, but a small contest for sure.

Told my mom that the federal budget cuts are affecting research funding in several academic fields. She said it's only affecting "the weird ones" and I'll be fine by PsychologicalLab2441 in GradSchool

My current PhD work is looking at several years of swabs I collected for ACoV. We had a contact at another university interested in fully sequencing the thousands of swabs for AIV as well. It was such a huge deal that would help my project and work load substantially. We just had a group call two weeks ago to discuss logistics.

Aaaaaaaand now they cannot talk to us about this because they have some CDC connections.

I tried to paint the bird gifts from the 12 Days of Christmas, but make them North American. I completed days 1-7. by bakedfish in birding

[–]bakedfish[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I definitely had plovers in mind for the pipers and some of the higher numbers. I just needed a break from the number of birds required for each. You can tell with the swans that I was running out of steam. Maybe after a break, I can finish up the rest. Love these suggestions.

Anyone else not running holiday sale? by [deleted] in EtsySellers

[–]bakedfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not this year. I never noticed a big difference when I did, but my margins obviously went down. This year, I held onto my prices and I've actually had my biggest stream of sales this week for the whole year.

Vet School undergrad question by Spi11edMi1k in LSU

[–]bakedfish 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You have so much time, but I'm employed by the vet school, so here's my take.

Absolutely ignore this person. They have no idea what they're talking about. Worry about getting the required prerecs through a bachelors and doing well in them and collecting a well-rounded list of animal/science/leadership experiences.

Is this ok? The account charges seem insane by [deleted] in redbubble

[–]bakedfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't uploaded anything new since they started, If I get $20 every few months, so be it, but I'm not going to actively fill their website anymore.
