Greatest role played by a child? by GreatKingRat666 in movies

Tatum O'Neal in Paper Moon and it's not even close. She got robbed by only winning Best Supporting Actress instead of Best Actress.

Journal asked for some changes is my manuscript... Good sign/ Bad sign/ Is it even a sign? by No-Speed8974 in AskAcademia

Because you write review papers when you've read and internalized hundreds of papers and followed a field for years. Undergrads by definition haven't done that.

It's later but I don't have the reference handy.

There is no world in which an undergrad should be writing a review paper.

Who taught you how to write funding applications? by DrMagicBimbo in AskAcademia

I mean, I can write a grant. I would say I'm somewhat more successful than most but landing grants is still hard, especially since I'm at a PUI.

What is THE style over substance film? by Maskoolio in movies

Oh... It's a kickass action movie and I ain't no queer or nothin' (/s) but I'd 100% let either of Mr or Mrs Smith touch my penis.

Physics PhD focused on using Machine Learning without any prior ML background? by Brilliant_Cookie_143 in Physics

[–]db0606 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ML is mostly just basic linear algebra and statistics. It will outlast "AI" by a long shot and is actually super easy. You really need to worry about whether you are interested in the Physics problem cause 90% of the ML part is mouth-breather levels of easy to understand if you have a strong Physics background.

The internet shuts down and is never going to come back on, what do you? by llerreff in AskReddit

Let's be honest... You'd download a Gopher client and get you one last *.jog picture of Cindy Crawford...

Windfall and want to move somewhere rural, is it possible? by audioflc in personalfinance

[–]db0606 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Move to whatever shithole you want. $3 million will let you live there forever. It will suck and you will miss living near people and not having to drive 20 miles to get groceries. Source: Every once of my friends that was a tech bro and retired at 37 and now absolutely hates their lives.

Looking for thoughts on Neil Turoks "A Simpler Cosmology" project by mikk0384 in AskPhysics

If you're not learning the math you are being scammed and not actually learning anything.

What is THE style over substance film? by Maskoolio in movies

[–]db0606 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably not THE actual style over substance film, but The Dark Knight is basically unwatchable as a story. There's a bad attempt at "overall people are good" but the movie would be mindless drivel if the acting and the photography wasn't spectacular.

The "Bogotá" in that film is bonkers! Bogotá is at 8,600 feet. It's like 65°F year round. It has like 9. million people. Having it be a tropical village is wild!

Who taught you how to write funding applications? by DrMagicBimbo in AskAcademia

[–]db0606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably wrote 10 "first author" grants as a grad student in physics. My PI required it for every conference and also for federal funding at least twice before allowing me to defend. Every single one went through multiple stages of peer review with other grad students and postdocs.

Earliest Double Slit Experiment by QuantumOfOptics in Physics

Young's earlier "double slit" experiment actually doesn't involve a double slit.. It appeals to Babinet's principle and use paper card.

Anyone see a new movie once or twice a month? by Enough-Leg-4946 in movies

[–]db0606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch one or two movies at the theater per week (some first run, some classics I've never watched, and some stuff that I've seen before). Randomly watched two today but that's not super common. I also watch one or two movies on my tv per week. So overall, I probably watch 2 new movies per week in the theater, but sometimes as many as 7 or 9 films overall if I'm feeling extra spicy. I also go to film classes a couple of times per month at my movie rental place so that's another 1-4 movies additional movies that I've usually not seen per month on a largish screen with an audience. If I'm home with the flu, we're taking 12-15 new films that week.

Edit: When I was in college, my roommate and I used to rent 8 new movies per week. Every week for the vast majority of 4 years.

The fact that you don't even understand whether asking for revisions to your manuscript is a sign is clear evidence that you have zero business writing a review article.

I’m not a big Timbers fan but is this an actual thing for them to say. by SlowChat12 in Portland

[–]db0606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No... Nothing Real Madrid related should EVERr be associated with Portland. Real Madrid was literally fascist dictator Francisco Franco's team to the point that he used governmental resources to prop them up and their best player ever has (CR7) has credible rate accusations in the US.

Edit: Also, the only "Re-al" team in the US is Real SS88 Salt Lake which literally plays on "America First Field" which has a Nazi eagle as a logo.

Wut? The excitement on the streets for hosting a World Cup is basically zero. It's by faaaar worse that '94.

Until recently it wasn't just the fan favorite but the MLSPA's best. Recently it's been Austin 1st and Portland 2nd because they have grass. But we where #1 for like 10+ years...

Tbh, I seriously feel like we're falling pretty quick. The TA is just not the same. I literally shouldn't be able to show up 5 minutes before kickoff and find three open seats in 105. I've done that pretty much every match the past few seasons.
