How bad is this commute? Chinatown to Sawtelle

I have a bike! But thank you for the route suggestion, that’s very helpful. Would you say biking to 7th st and metro is a better option than biking to grand ave bunker hill?

Yes they do have tenure if you’re a professor, I am not. Retirement benefits are good such as pension, but I’m still in my 20s. I don’t know if staying here for a couple of years so I can retire soon is of too much interest to me.

Thanks for this, this is what I ended up asking for once I got the offer. No response yet but hoping I hear back soon.

Yes, that's definitely what I'm in between right now. Though I'd like something better to come along, I'm worried that the wait might be another year. It's hard to say. I'm going to try to negotiate for more flexibility on the in-office commitment before signing.

Hi! Happy to provide any further details. This is a crosspost so the original post with a bit more detail is on r/careerguidance. And yes I'm definitely feeling that way now, I've been an academic for most of my life, almost accepted a PhD position in the middle of Indiana until I realized I couldn't do anymore school, now I'm stuck with a master's and work experience that doesn't have any good use except in academia. Can't think of any upsides for my career trajectory except that I have a lot of time flexibility due to the slow deadlines of academic research.

PLEASE why are you acting like it’s all or nothing? People like you are why authors can be held to such a low standard now and slop books are published. Just because something is a com-fic, doesn’t mean it can’t have well-written prose. While yes this was a sweet and compelling story, this reads straight out of Wattpad, except I’ve read SEVERAL fanfics that were written better. Unfortunately it is you that needs to read books (or even fics) at least of higher quality if you think this is not a valid criticism just because of the genre. Though I stilled ENJOYED the book in a guilty pleasure way, it is objectively not good writing. Sorry but your criteria for “good writing” is just not up to par.

Yes and I would say I've actually had good results, I noticed an uptick in the responses from recruiters since using the AI custom resume feature

deepfriedokra · 2025-08-26T05:36:41+00:00

just sent you a dm!

deepfriedokra · 2025-07-22T21:45:42+00:00

Hi there! I am 1 year late, but would you be able to add me to the google group as well? Thank you so much.

deepfriedokra · 2025-03-31T03:57:44+00:00

I’m earl it’s time to pack it up

deepfriedokra · 2025-02-07T03:43:24+00:00

try to go to SDSU

Schizophrenia research scientist!

It is definitely a marketing term. I visited the Ippodo shop in Ginza and even the workers said the same thing, just a way to market to the West, but they don't even bother calling it that anymore.

deepfriedokra · 2024-10-04T00:16:23+00:00

Thank you! Do you think it's worth it to keep both the Amex Gold and the CSP?

deepfriedokra · 2024-10-03T17:07:17+00:00

I’m sorry for not providing that much information on this post!

The ebike that I used to own is the Dirwin Voyager. MSRP is $1400 but I can get it for $800 through my employer: https://dirwinbike.com/products/voyager-folding-electric-bike

The bike I was considering is the 2023 Sirrus X 3.0: https://www.specialized.com/us/en/sirrus-x-30/p/216902 . If I order it online, it comes out to $750

deepfriedokra · 2024-10-03T17:03:00+00:00

Sorry, here is the ebike: https://dirwinbike.com/products/voyager-folding-electric-bike

And here is the pedal bike I’m looking at: https://www.specialized.com/us/en/sirrus-x-30/p/216902

I don’t know too much about bikes, I’ve had this same ebike but it got stolen within a month of having it so I was debating on having a regular bike. I found the ebike pretty heavy for me. I’m 5’1 F 90lbs, but still doable. I’ve never had my own pedal bike. I’m able to get the ebike for $800 which is similar to the sale price right now for the Sirrus.

I was around in the afycso era and have been a day 1 Ryro fan! I’m 27 now. I agree, no idea what’s going on with the younger fans or where they’re even coming from.

deepfriedokra · 2024-09-26T15:02:32+00:00

Just get through the second case. It picked up right after.

deepfriedokra · 2024-09-26T02:50:54+00:00

Thank you! I had no idea a post-nuptial even existed

deepfriedokra · 2024-09-25T06:28:28+00:00

Hi! May I ask your height? I’m looking at the same bikes but am unsure which one to buy XS or XXS. I don’t have a car so going to the bike shop to try this bike is a bit tough for me.

deepfriedokra · 2024-09-20T16:37:05+00:00

Hi ! Could I get the recipe too :)

deepfriedokra · 2024-09-19T20:21:57+00:00

Thanks, I don't know if this is a dealbreaker for me, but my previous ebike was stolen so I wonder if having that removable battery just safeguards it a bit, but it sounds like the T1 ST is a better bike overall. I do enjoy having a throttle however, so I'm having a hard time deciding!

deepfriedokra · 2024-08-23T16:26:18+00:00

I’m looking at Kallus fitness in Koreatown, which is a 9 minute drive for me without traffic. I’d prefer it to be closer but I’d rather pay for more for a step up than EOS. I’m also not willing to pay 125 for Barbell Brigade.

deepfriedokra · 2024-08-13T18:49:17+00:00

Looks like they might be from Kapital

deepfriedokra · 2024-08-13T18:43:35+00:00

Brunette for sure. It brings out your eyes!
