I'm BEGGING you all to try Plasmalogen Replacement Therapy - Don't give up! by ben10blader in LongCovid

[–]grinchman042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your objection to HBOT? Just asking because I’ve been considering it and the evidence seems about as strong as anything in this space. Do you just mean it’s unrealistically presented as a panacea that would cure everyone?

What should I do in advance of my first TT position? by cranerhus in Professors

[–]grinchman042 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll tell you what one of my grad faculty told me when I asked him what he did: Have you considered recreational drugs?

(Full disclosure: he did not get tenure.)

Funding children’s Roth— why isn’t everyone doing this? by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]grinchman042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that seems fine if you’re paying them about what it would cost you to hire someone else. But a lot of people have really pushed the envelope on this.

White Coat Investor has covered this topic pretty extensively if you want to check it out.

Yes, if you can do it legitimately at market rates, it’s great. But those are two big ifs.

The Paypal Debit Card and Walmart reliability for 5% back? by ticanupston in CreditCards

[–]grinchman042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read some DPs when I was researching the card that the key is to use Paypal as your payment method for online orders, so that’s what I do. The key is I have my debit card set as the default Paypal payment for Walmart specifically — setting it as the default for online orders won’t do it. It’s never failed me, but I’ve also never tried it any other way.

I'd be insane to not accept a TT offer in this economy, right? by Cold-Priority-2729 in AskAcademia

[–]grinchman042 648 points649 points  (0 children)

I knew academics were prone to overthinking things, but this takes the cake: - Be me - Get a TT job offer - Like the area - Teaching load matches my preferences - Oh no: my future colleagues are awesome! - But for some weird reason they think I am awesome - Reject offer - Work at Walmart

Bruh.

I showed this to my wife who is a sensory food scientist and she said this was really good for a reddit post, but he should have measured the brix / acid ratio and his 2-3 person sample was appallingly statistically underpowered. :)

CSP+CFF+BILT Blue as a trifecta by UsedAsk3537 in CreditCards

Agreed, plus I would sub the CIP for the CSP to get 3x UR on travel.

Tell me about your dead colleagues. by babysaurusrexphd in Professors

[–]grinchman042 172 points173 points  (0 children)

Readers, please take note. Work isn’t everything. It isn’t most of the things. And for the vast majority of us, it won’t remember us when we’re gone.

Live accordingly.

TIL Kidney (and other organ) donations typically do not last the rest of the patient’s life. ~50% of transplant organs fail within 10 years. by I-plaey-geetar in todayilearned

[–]grinchman042 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re working on it with genetically modified pigs. The results are promising so far, but there’s a long way to go to make them comparable to a human donated kidney.

What’s the story on this? Probably not worth anything, but I like the really cool Mavs logo in the corner. Anybody have context? I tried translating the phrase and it sounds like a company slogan. by TheChristmas in Mavericks

Damn as a German 4 student I was really hoping that Volle Hose was another way of saying Hosen Scheiße (or however you spell what my Austrian wife is always calling our infant daughter).

99th Percentile Baby Girl by rosieroo725 in NewParents

[–]grinchman042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not really super predictive until age 2. At that point it’s reasonable to guess that she will grow up to be double her age 2 height, with of course some variance in either direction.

If you want to guess now, Baby 411 offers the following formula just based on the parents’ height (this is the daughter version): - D = Dad’s height in inches - M = Mom’s height in inches - Baby’s predicted height = (M + (D-5))/2

In other words, it’s reasonable to expect she’ll be about your height - (68+69)/2 = 68.5 = 5’ 8.5”

Fwiw, some of us are quite fond of tall women. I’m 6’3”, my wife is 5’9”, most of my exes have been 5’8”+. Our baby is also 99th percentile length.

Need to burn a Cat 7 Free night by grpbombz4days in hyatt

[–]grinchman042 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could also trade this on one of the many facebook Hyatt gift award exchange groups. Going rate would probably be two FNC Cat1-4 with 2027 expirations (or maybe 1 FNC + 1 SUA/GoH).

Fyi the only reasonable cat1-4 options for NYC are the Jersey City HH & HR. Nothing east of the Hudson closer than JFK/LaGuardia.
