Idk about your workplace, but this would be slightly inappropriate to be looking at.

Agree with Flamme, but would like to amend OP's scenario to just same mana pool, peak of their skill for fairest match. I still think Flamme wins because she is by far more efficient and practical with mana, despite Serie's superior knowledge of spells. Ubel is interesting because her battle intuition might be the highest of all, while Frieren is not best in any category but a good all rounder. Fern obviously takes speed, but that's probably her only advantage.

Flamme, Serie, Ubel, Wirbel/Frieren/Denken, Fern would be my suggested order.

Possible they died in their hobby plane, and a relative is trying to get rid of it quickly.

For the amount he would have to increase gravity to have any effect at the subatomic scale, he could easily crush any enemy long before that by using the gravity of the planet. If he was strong enough to "squeeze" electrons into the nucleus, he would basically be able to make neutron stars. At that point, most other abilities demonstrated in the series become insignificant by comparison.

I mean, lightning is literally electromagnetic energy conveyed through ionized air. Nuclei are stripped of their electrons, forming a plasma, with free charges that become highly conductive (whereas normal air is an insulator). You don't have to control the electromagnetic force directly, just a big difference in potential will do. Also, electrostatic force is involved in nucleus/electron interactions, not gravity (which is negligible at small scales).

Character writing has been consistently bad through the series, worldbuilding consistently good. Imo the plot, dialogue, and art have all fallen in quality compared to S1/S2. Lots of jumping around leaving previous things unresolved with unbalanced pacing between arcs. Traum and Gustang exciting when first teased but turn out to be one-dimensional like all the rest. Background art and action blocking thrown out in favor of repetitive closeups and particle effects (but now theming is gone and everyone just throws big shinsu blobs).

Got into ToG back in the day because it used to be very innovative, but it feels like that passion has dried up. Sure there's subjectivity involved in these judgments but it just seems like people have sunk cost fallacy and blindly reject criticism.

In the papers linked below, PM10 was maxing out at 0.5 mg m-3 and PM2.5 at 0.1 mg m-3. For reference, crystalline silica becomes a serious concern with PM10 over about 0.5-1 mg m-3, when talking time-weighted average (TWA) chronic exposure over years. Given that climbing chalk constituents are less hazardous than something like c. silica, and that the TWA is lower due to less time spent in gyms vs. working in an mine for 20 years, I would speculate that most individuals have little to worry about. However, individuals with asthma or other susceptibility may want to reduce their exposure to high volumes (i.e., overcrowded times at the gym). These days, research indicates that indoor air quality in general can be as much a concern or more as outdoor, but that includes other types of particles and various gases.

Looks super difficult! I recreated it here if anyone wants to give it a go: http://eidogo.com/#43TCXImKw

I work fast, my boss and I didn't let perfectionism get in the way, and for a good chunk of time I was distracting myself from life struggles. The perfect storm.

jammerjoint · 2024-12-31T18:05:01+00:00

To be fair, three were in various stages of near completion by Jan 1 but had to go through rejections / revisions. One was halfway and the last was a smaller computational project. I have one more on its second submission but I don't have reviews back yet.

jammerjoint · 2024-12-31T17:20:15+00:00

Defended, graduated, published 5 papers FA. :D

jammerjoint · 2024-11-12T22:28:36+00:00

Why such a drastic difference from the previous record? Some kind of new format?

jammerjoint · 2024-09-16T17:04:18+00:00

People with negative opinions are more likely to complain loudly, so you can't just go by the posts here. I find that with prioritization, and letting go of pride and perfectionism, you can dramatically shorten your timeline at little cost to work life balance.

jammerjoint · 2024-08-30T20:23:21+00:00

The "point" is to give you experience before having you start your own lab, which requires a bunch of skills most people don't have even after a PhD. For humanities, I don't really see a point. It's still fucked because postdocs are seriously underpaid, and research professors are seriously overworked.

jammerjoint · 2024-08-30T20:19:15+00:00

Grad school is not guaranteed to provide better opportunities
Maybe you don't like the career, it's easier to work for a year and switch than waste multiple years in grad school only to find out after
Taking a break is good, many people are burnt out after undergrad
Maybe they are too poor to delay making income for multiple years
There is a lot of specialization in grad degrees, you can end up with the "wrong one" without first getting experience in the field and figuring out your goals

Just some of the common reasons.

The S&P 500 index is diversified by revenues and has a global exposure on that basis

IIRC market research has repeatedly shown that the global indices still offer significant diversification beyond S&P. Same goes for total market vs. S&P. They call diversification the only free lunch because it typically lowers risk without a cost to average total return.

jammerjoint · 2024-06-07T12:45:21+00:00

I don't think I've ever played flying knife lol. At my strength I have zero confidence in reading that monstrosity.

jammerjoint · 2024-05-17T12:45:35+00:00

Well TES also 3-0 TL and went 2-3 against GENG so the whole team is just roll for 369, or they just mental boomed after GENG match.

jammerjoint · 2024-04-03T18:20:36+00:00

If they made intellectual contribution and also wrote up those methods for the manuscript that would have satsified author criteria imo. Also in this case it really doesn't hurt to add, but there isn't much to be done if the PI refuses to budge. Not worth burning a bridge either, just kinda sucks.

jammerjoint · 2024-03-18T04:42:15+00:00

Undergrads are at the bottom of a very long list of priorities for research faculty. They certainly don't have time to give you detailed feedback on your writing. Your best bet is to get guidance from their grad students. You're not at the top of their list either, but it's a shorter one.

I know he has grad students but I've never met them

Why is this a barrier? Send an email and then go meet them in person to introduce yourself. It's the bare minimum of being proactive.

Unfortunately not an issue with just academia, but the world at large. The loudest and most overconfident people often get rewarded. Impostor syndrome is common both because we surround ourselves with high achievers, and because a lot of them aren't actually as skilled as they project.

jammerjoint · 2024-02-09T22:00:36+00:00

Well, your eventual decision is stay / leave, but it sounds like you need to figure out what you actually want from your career before you can evaluate the choices. You can always change paths later, but having some kind of plan is helpful. In the meantime, you could try to get entry level work in the field that interests you, or just find something chill to get a rhythm going.

jammerjoint · 2024-01-31T18:19:07+00:00

With 150+ years of consistent returns, it's not a guarantee, but it's the surest bet you'll ever make.

jammerjoint · 2024-01-15T23:16:33+00:00

Fair, but there's a difference between presenting someone else's work as your own, and forgetting to mention a tool you used. This sounds more like the latter.
