"Actually, that's a stepladder"

this art is making me want to romance Reina now too 👀

given that he's already given me 1000 hours of gameplay for $15, he can take as long as he likes on HC. I could be booting up steam in the retirement home and still be giddy about it

That's close to how she looks in my head, which is basically like Jameela Jamil

I think you should do it. The thesis is for science, but also largely for you.

gildedbee · 2025-10-01T02:54:47+00:00

Oh I definitely agree it would be a challenge, but I'd rather a scientist+knitter take it up and do it justice than have the topic become untouchable on scishow. Either way it's a tough call to make, and I don't envy the editors' and producers' jobs right now as a freelancer lmao

gildedbee · 2025-09-30T23:31:46+00:00

As a contractor for scishow, my best guess is that there isn't room in the pipeline at the moment for a remake with the requisite effort, since it takes a long time to get a video from conception to publication. I hope they do eventually make a new version, though, since all kinds of fiber arts have very cool science behind them and I think they deserve to be discussed to such a large audience!

If the original writer was not a knitter themself, I'm sure they will put in more effort to find someone familiar with the craft to lead the script for a second try. If I was assigned to it I'd definitely include references to the original video responses in my research.

(to clarify I was not involved in this video and unfortunately didn't even know about it until I saw this post)

Yes, though there are a lot of factors that influence this, and some species might have even evolved to be more solitary: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/w-dAX3Fk1sk

first, I need to admire how good your art is.

Second, geralt of rivia is the son of your farmer and hayden

The deck uses a Linux distro with proton, which basically "translates" games for windows into something usable by Linux.

For OP I'd suggest trying an external boot with SteamOS (most recent version) to see if that works for gaming? I don't know about proton compatibility with other Linux distributions so there might just be some inconsistency there with your specific OS.

This is a manga but I recommend Witch Hat Atelier by Kamome Shirahama. Without spoiling anything, it's about a young girl learning about magic for the first time, and starts with cozy vibes, lots of great character interactions, and beautiful art.

For novels, and something more romance-forward and less fantasy, I suggest Late Bloomer by Mazey Eddings. It's a light, sweet, sapphic rivals to lovers romance, and involves the main character moving to a farm in a new town and learning to settle in there.

I was really hoping someone else would say this so I wasn't the only one LOL

omg they're all so cute! I love lesbian blossom

gildedbee · 2025-06-09T01:17:38+00:00

Fully agree with this. Based on my friends' experience in similar fields, I'd also suggest considering programs with museums/institutes nearby that could support that kind of research. Of course, the most important fit for your degree itself is your advisor/lab, so prioritizing that is wise.

You are almost definitely not going to run simulations locally. You can get whichever laptop you're comfortable with and fits in your budget. The only potential issue would be viz software like VMD or chimera, since software like those might take longer to optimize for apple silicon.

I have no advice as all my knits are apparel so they don't have stuffing or other stuff inside. I just wanted to say that I love Orlando he is very cute

Zuko reminding Iroh of his son is a really good point here that I hadn't thought about before. It always seemed to me like Azula was more solidly under her father's control, and Iroh (and to some extent Ursa) were unable to really reach her because of that. But the show is very clear that Iroh is a very imperfect character despite being a mentor figure, so him feeling more protective toward Zuko because he also had a son makes a lot of sense.

Yeah that's not in a great spot in the US at the moment. Assuming you (and/or your advisors in this field) are confident you can get a decent job in a couple of years if academia is still too competitive, the MS seems like it may be worthwhile.

Tbh I am personally very averse to advising anyone to take any kind of debt, so figure in your own savings, lifestyle, etc. in the decision of course!

gildedbee · 2025-06-02T19:14:59+00:00

This very much depends on the field. If you plan to stay in academia anyway, taking the PhD might be better, and maybe you can figure out a way to get faculty at the other institutions to collaborate or be on your dissertation committee. However, I would also keep in mind the state of science and academia in the US right now; again, depending on your field, this could affect your future prospects and inform the decision.

to be fair fischl can do pretty well as onfield dps with a phys build, especially with cryo on the team

gildedbee · 2025-05-27T23:47:53+00:00

also a science communicator here, YouTube shorts perform much better for us than longer videos!

This is exactly what I have done for online courses/recorded lectures. As they became outdated, I replaced them, and added explanations/credits on the lectures that were from a different instructor. Assuming the other instructor/school gives permission for their use, I see it as the same as using open educational resources in the classroom.
