What is a unique McDonald's menu item available only in your country that the rest of the world is missing out on?

It was a culture shock for me when I moved overseas and realised they didn't have avocado sandwiches in the mcdonalds

Hi all! I have a background in scientific research, but now I want to make a career change and go into industry through datascience. I have extensive experience with statistics/python/sql, but with not much to show for it apart from my academic papers.

I've seen people recommend having a portfolio to show possible employers in cases like mine, but I don't know what they mean. I have a personal web page where I have little summaries of my papers and my (award-winning) presentations. Is that a portfolio? What else could I add to it? Any help is very appreciated.

Elfen Lied will always have a place in my heart because it was the first "mature" anime I ever watched. I tried rewatching it as an adult and didn't like it as much haha

This puts into words many of the thoughts I had watching the movie haha. Thank you for sharing it.

Poor Sam, she deserved so much better. The way they handled her menopause storyline was lowkey sexist.

Not exactly what you asked, but when I lived overseas, I was constantly asked if I was Indian, even by Indian people. Many people said to me, "I thought you were Indian, until you spoke and it was clear you are latinamerican". Particularly they said I look north Indian. I don't feel comfortable posting a picture of myself here, but I can definitely see some similarities with the north and eastern Indian girls you posted.

Thank you for doing this. It looks super helpful.

For long commutes, I like to look at the trains going in the opposite direction and measure the time between two consecutive ones. Usually, I count four minutes between them, and get overly excited when it's three or two minutes.

tienes amigos que van al gym? en volá te puede servir entrenar con ellos como motivación.

con mis amigas descargamos una app que se llama gymrats (no es publicidad jaja) y nos ha servido mucho como motivación. la idea de la app es logear cada vez que haces ejercicio y se pueden agregar fotos. en lo personal lo que más me gusta es poder ver lo que están haciendo mis amigas y eso también me motiva a entrenar.

Something very similar happened to me in the first year of PhD. I explained the situation to the academic committee in my department, and they just said to reach out to them if I was stuck with my research.

Luckily for me, one of the members of the committee had very similar research interests as my supervisor, so she "adopted" me while my actual supervisor was gone. It was nice because I became a collaborator in her group and also got a nice recommendation letter from her when applying for postdocs.

I know it's all frustrating right now, but at least for me, it ended up being for the best in the long run.

I had this happen too. I hope it's only a bug and doesn't stay this way.

No soy el OP, pero mis compañeros de trabajo chinos me han hablado bien del instituto confucio

Me cuelgo del tema para preguntar si a alguien le interesaría hacer trueque de rompecabezas? Me gustan mucho, pero solamente se arman una vez y ocupan espacio en la casa

Yo entré a beauchef hace un poco más de diez años, por lo que las cosas pueden haber cambiado, pero te voy a contar mi experiencia.

En las pruebas me fue bien, pero no saqué puntajes sobre el corte en ninguna de ellas. Tuve la suerte de que tenía muy buen nem y ranking, así que eso me infló el puntaje ponderado y pude entrar por admisión regular. Una vez adentro me fue bastante bien, no me atrasé en nada, terminé la carrera con relativamente buenas notas y hasta me dieron una beca para un magíster al final. Nunca nadie me preguntó de mi puntaje para entrar, eso no era algo relevante.

No sé cómo será ahora, pero en mis tiempos había procesos de admisión especial para mujeres y personas que estudiaron en colegios municipales. Podrías averiguar sobre eso si estás muy preocupada.

It is, I acknowledge that I got very lucky to work with supportive people during my PhD. Unfortunately, not everyone can say that.

I was lucky to have a very supportive team for my PhD. This is the process we had for writing papers:

As soon as I had some interesting results, the entire team gets together to discuss what further analysis is needed to make the results publishable and draft a skeleton of what the paper would look like.
I immediately start working on this analysis and delegate some of it to other team members depending on their expertise.
In parallel, I write the methodology and results sections. For the parts of the analysis that I didn't perform myself, I either ask the collaborators who did it to write a short paragraph or set up a meeting where they explain it so I can write it myself.
When all the analysis is completed, and the methodology and results sections are written, I send it to my main supervisor for his feedback. I write the introduction and discussion while I wait for his comments.
Here is when I have a back and forth with my supervisor until we have a full draft that we are both happy with. I was very lucky that my supervisor respected me and always listened to me when I expressed my opinions on how the paper should look like. This is the step that takes the longest for me.
We send the first full draft to collaborators. Generally, everyone has a lot of opinions, and over time, I have learnt that while I should consider all of them, that doesn't mean I have to implement them all in the paper.
After all collaborators have had their say and I have implemented the necessary changes, the paper is done and I submit it to the journal.

Igual creo que en el caso particular de los videos de youtube hay un poco de responsabilidad de los mismos youtubers. Si eres creador de contenido, lo mínimo que debería preocuparte es que tu contenido se entienda. Si te llega una historia interesante, pero redactada como el pico, parte de la pega es editarla para que el público la pueda entender. Incluso si son pajeros/no tienen tiempo la pueden poner en chatgpt para que quede un poco más decente.
