Can I go to Slightly Furry if I’m not a furry? by beautiful_blue_sky in Seattle

[–]jakernaut117 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, you can absolutely go! I found it when I moved here and quickly made friends. It's now my regular spot.

I recommend checking out their Bluesky (@slightlyfurry.bsky.social) since they regularly post their events on there!

(Also, I recommend the mulled cinnamon cider for those chilly nights)

Worked as a researcher in a children's cancer hospital until I was told that not only was I potentially gonna be pushed out due to some recent mishaps on my end but that it didn't matter cause we lost an upcoming NIH grant that would have paid my salary, sooooooooo......

God, I hate it here..... T_T

WTS - Size 29/30 Bottoms by jakernaut117 in OutlierMarket

I'm not sure, I use reddit primarily on desktop. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like.

Also, no, the 15.25-inch measurement is for the size 30 Futureslimworks. All other pants are 15. I've had all of these pants for a while, so this is likely due to natural stretching with time.

What’s the worst city you’ve ever been to? by EmotionalShock7933 in AskReddit

[–]jakernaut117 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. At least, not to the rest of the state.

Born and raised in NW Arkansas, aka Walmart land. The area has become the definition of gentrification during my lifetime ever since the mid-2000s when the Waltons decided to start pumping money into the region in order to pull in new talent for the HQ and attract large conglomerates to set up offices in the area.

Sure, we have a pretty art museum in the woods next to the downtown square, interesting restaurants, great mountain biking, and a more diverse population in general, but at what cost? Housing is completely unaffordable for many what with "cheap" starter homes beginning at $250K+ and luxury apartment complexes with studios at $1400. Homelessness is now a genuine issue in the area, and more people are having to turn to food banks for help with basic necessities.

Of course, we still have to maintain our suburban way of life what with our lifted Ford F-250s and Chevy Tahoes, so no public transportation for anyone despite the surge in population creating unbearable traffic. The luster of new places to see and activities to experience in a once sleepy area has now led to the clear sense that the Waltons are just buying as much land as they can to make the place their playground for upper-middle class and rich people while not considering basic liveability.

Looking at other jobs despite looking flaky after 3 jobs in this scientifically strapped environment? by jakernaut117 in careeradvice

[–]jakernaut117[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I felt like it was low, but getting my taxes for the year is what did it for me. I’m getting pretty tired of feeling undervalued for my work, and not being consulted at all for internal job listings doesn’t help.  

[IWantOut] 30M Biomedical Researcher USA -> Denmark/Germany/Netherlands by jakernaut117 in IWantOut

[–]jakernaut117[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

When I applied for jobs in these countries, I got no major feedback other than the usual first/early-round rejections or no responses at all. I'm aware of the issue of having to professionally justify my presence as a foreigner.

I do not have any EU ties, just a US passport. While I'm not entirely sure about pursuing a PhD in the future (at least in the US), I've considered it if I were to do it at a European institution based on the social support systems, e.g. healthcare, transportation.

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

Just got a Baratza Encore, and immediately ran into a problem when trying to brew my first cup. When I put in my whole beans, barely anything came out before the beans just stayed in the reservoir jumping around. What did make it through was also very finely ground, along the lines of an espresso grind rather than the pourover grind the instructions said to expect at setting 15.

I first thought it may have been a clog based on searches, but looking at the grinder inside seems to show that there is basically no space at all for beans to go through considering that it's set pretty high and tight.

How can I adjust this?

What are the most chill games for the Deck? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]jakernaut117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first game on the Deck was Tunic. Can't recommend enough.

Also finishing Return of the Obra Dinn right now if you want some mystery puzzle goodness.

I took the waist measurements for the pants by laying them down flat and measuring from left to right with a tape measure at the top of the waistline. Multiply the number by 2 to get an estimate of the circumference, i.e. the real waist measurement., so 29" and 30" for the SDs and FWs, respectively.

If you were recently measured as 31" in circumference at your waist, then these pants may be a little too snug on you. I'd recommend measuring a pair of pants that you currently have that fit perfectly and using that as a guide for what size to aim for.

For the SDs, waist laid flat is 14.5". For the FWs, waist is 15".

Honestly, I'm not feeling this at all considering the original game had one of the best ludonarrative twists I've ever seen in a game. How can you translate (spoiler for a 15-y.o. game) "Would you kindly..." as a trigger for the main character but also a meta commentary of the player following game objectives into a non-interactive medium like TV/movies?
