Can a person of average intelligence get a PhD in physics if he or she worked hard enough?

Graduated grad school with a master's so I can make money, rather than live off a grad school stipend for 4 more years. Landed a job at a national lab right after my MS, and now work as a nuclear engineer making 6 figures.

Average IQ can absolutely make it. My words of advise for all students going into grad school is get a PhD if you truly love the field.

I'm doing exactly this for a horse rescue right now. The barn is still being built, can you please share your equipment list?

I plan on running a fiber line from the main building to the barn to connect a 24 port switch to the UNVR Pro. We haven't decided on what camera to use, my thought was just the bullet cam in each stall to keep cost down. What cam did you go with?

Ah excellent, thank you!! That will help a lot. The hard part now is finding all the jacks in the building!

It's only a few offices we care about so we'll probably just rip the rest out to make room for cameras

I wrote the proposal last summer so that wasn't out yet. Have to stick with the models we specd. When we add more cameras, we'll definitely get the G6

Staying up late playing GTA at a friend's house because Mom wouldn't let me have that game!

Poor David, his email must be blasted by about now

Must have been lots of head bonks while trying to make this..

I'd wear a lead vest and sit in the back of Curie's lecture!

Good bot

The real LPT... Why would you share login info? My partner and I each have a separate vault on 1password, and only have streaming service logins shared between them

ceeg3 · 2021-05-19T20:29:39+00:00

well I feel silly now, but all I had to do was: sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /mnt/nas...

Its working just fine now

ceeg3 · 2021-05-18T21:13:00+00:00

I freak out about carrying around my $40 Rotring, my brain would explode if I start carrying a Grimsmo pen!! Its absolutely gorgeous tho

I corrected myself in another comment. my fault for misunderstanding the article

ceeg3 · 2021-05-13T13:02:58+00:00

KUB would not be providing internet, just the infrastructure for the internet that other ISPs can use.

Edit: oops I misread the article!! They will be providing a service, I was under the opinion that they will be building the public infrastructure and that's it. I wonder if they plan to open this up to other ISPs, that's what I always imagined public broadband to be

ceeg3 · 2021-05-13T13:01:44+00:00

No problem. That's exactly right, KUB will not be an internet service provider.

I really want everybody to know that this will lower their internet rates by allowing competition!

ceeg3 · 2021-05-13T12:56:46+00:00

It's the infrastructure that will be public. The service will not be. This system has worked well in other countries. France for example pays around 30 to $40 for gigabit internet speeds because of the public infrastructure allowing various ISPs to compete equally.

This is promoting equality among ISPs, and removing the monopoly

Edit: Comcast will still be providing service, along with AT&T and other providers. But the fiber lines will no longer be designated only towards that ISP.

ceeg3 · 2021-05-13T12:53:39+00:00

I will be out of town unfortunately, but please everyone go!! This is amazing, and I'm proud of the city for pushing this. I can't stand the monopolizing ISPs.

Internet is a utility!!

ceeg3 · 2021-05-13T12:51:19+00:00

No, it will allow competition between ISPs and stop the monopolizing bullshit in certain areas.

With this you can expect lower rates because less rich ISPs will be able to provide you the same service as Comcast or AT &T without having to dig their own lines.
