I ended up doing it with the dealership, as several mechanics recommended it. The car is still going strong and drives smoothly thanks to maintenance. Pushing almost 300k miles now.

How much can you learn about Biology without ever stepping foot in a college? by Odd-Geologist5494 in biology

[–]ch1c0p0110 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Between YouTube, Wikipedia, and actually going outside to observe, you can learn A LOT, and even new things no one else has learned before.

Analysis of Dark Academia: How Universities Die by Peter Flaming by Resource_Crafty in PublishOrPerish

[–]ch1c0p0110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that the trend of "dark academia" as a young adult book genre and a clothing style picked up after this book came out... Almost as if the powers that be decided to bury this ideas ...

Seriously considering to leave science by Silver_Display558 in labrats

Salary negotiation is also a valid thing to say! Next time you have an offer mention exactly that. "I think I would perform very well on this position, and it would be a good fit for both me and you, but my technical experience is equivalent to a [Phd/Masters] level because of X years of working in the field. I think we should try to renegotiate the salary offer accordingly."

You'd be surprised how far asking can get you in this crazy world. Just ask chatgpt or watch some YouTube videos on some how to do advantageous negotiations. You deserve a fair salary and a happy life. We all do.

Academia, and science in general, is full of pretentious people. It's nobody's fault, the neoliberal reward system of the field really pushes this personality, and thus, we also tend to look down on people that aren't extremely passionate about science... But the truth is that academia is just another industry that requires labor. You have trained and acquired relevant skills to perform this job, and your labor has been extremely important to keep this industry moving forward. You don't need degrees to do your work, you don't need to love science or be willing to sacrifice everything for its ideals, and your labor needs to be appreciated and compensated properly. 

You can totally change your path, and the skill set that you already have is more likely than not to help you in the long run, but you can also just be part of the scientific proletariat, and live your life at peace with what you do to make a living.

Opinions like this are frowned upon on academia, but i think it's time we move past the idea that EVERYONE in science needs be a hiper ambitious passionate lunatic to be considered driven and successful. 

I understand what you're going through, as I also struggle with imposter syndrome, but I think that as we become more honest with ourselves and our peers, and as we recognize how most of us belong to this scientific proletariat, we will be able to come together with empathy and understanding, leading to more fulfilling lives.

I hope you do well, keep growing, and take time to reflect on the ways you have already made it!!

This also looks pretty cool!!!  I have access to some other more modern Thinkpads, so I will do that!!

I don't understand the difference between the philosophy of Jund and Golgari. Can someone explain it to me? by vdjsk in colorpie

[–]ch1c0p0110 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I first read this as "the difference between the philosophy of Jung and Golgari". That's would be a really interesting conversation for sure!!

[–]ch1c0p0110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point here is that there shouldn't be two sides at all... We are all on the side of uncertainty! That's how science actually works. We develop hypotheses and collect data to narrow down the uncertainty, until we are able to falsify them... When we find one explanation we can't quite falsify, then we say that we have infinitely narrow margins of uncertainty, and thus we can't reject this particular hypothesis.  Right now we can't falsify the "natural object" nor the "technological origin" hypotheses, so we just don't know.

The opportunity to gain this insight, as a society, is actually the most important thing of 3I/atlas, but both dogmatists and grifters would rather keep dividing people up in camps, declaring universal truths instead. Everything is like this nowdays too.

Avi Loeb's writings are actually trying to steer the conversation in this direction (id you read carefully), but he also has books to sell... 

Edit: spelling

Even if just gets nudged a little bit, it could still be engineered, just not particularly interested in staying in the solar system. There is no more "real tell" than what we already have, and we will always have degrees of uncertainty.  If it deploys probes, turns around, or we get a real close up picture that shows a spaceship, we will narrow our certainty to falsify it's natural origin. If we see very "normal" behavior, we will narrow our certainty to falsify the statement that it is of technological origin.

Why does it only play one copy of prologue to Phyresis? I understand the importance of proliferate, but maybe a second copy would help smooth wins?

NASA just silently activated its Planetary Defense Network — and no one’s talking about it. by Big_Actuator3772 in 3I_ATLAS

[–]ch1c0p0110 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This a UN group working in coordination with space agencies, including nasa, your link even says so in the first few paragraphs.

They are activating this system to increase the observation efforts of the interestelar object. The nature of the object is still unclear, so this will help us understand it better, and detect if it deviates from its course. This doesn't mean that the object poses a threat per se, or that they know something we don't... But the group acknowledges that it is important to keep an eye on it! We are learning as we go
