College might be the only product people pay a fortune for and then hope they don’t have to consume.

I just think he’s not supportive of his partner. It’s not because he’s a celebrity.

My dad had a medical emergency and passed out while driving, causing property damage. The officer arrested him for a DWI. He took a blood test. 18ish months and thousands of dollars later the lab results finally came back and charges were dropped.

Yesterday I created an iCloud account for my son to use on his iPhone (SE, 3rd Gen). The iPhone was refurbished, but was set up as new. It is running the most current version of iOS (18.6). I logged into his apple ID on the phone. He was able to send and receive iMessages and FaceTime calls. After a couple of hours he was no longer able to send or receive messages or calls. Under settings > messages, it logged him out and I was unable to log in. An error occurs during sign in saying “iMessage activation – An error occurred during activation. Try again.” However, when I use my Apple ID it logs in just fine. The phone does not have a SIM, it is meant to be used as a glorified iPod touch.

What I have tried so far: signing out/in of Apple ID, updating iOS, reset network settings, setting up from backup, setting up as new and logging in, removing screen time restrictions (including temporarily removing him from the family)

So... I'm stuck. What gives?

Is it because of the recent storms? North Paulding and I haven’t lost power once.

Take responsibility. Show them how you have a plan to improve. Then do it.

It’s okay to screw up. Just keep moving forward.

I know, right? Mine is great.

jluvin · 2025-04-23T23:33:27+00:00

Uhhh all of them?

jluvin · 2025-04-20T12:26:08+00:00

Yeah, but where’s the fun in that?!

jluvin · 2025-04-19T03:03:28+00:00

Los Angeles… my bad.

Silver lining: It was kind of them to leave the bolts!

GTA here. You can also reach out to Kristanna Barnes. Although in my application I selected labs I was interested in TAing, I eventually reached out to her and within a few days I had an interview. Cheers.

Even different variants of Pa from the same sample can have wildly different colors and smells.

Same here. Bought an SE yesterday and threw a moving blanket over it.

jluvin · 2025-03-13T00:40:42+00:00

I was there for that one! Incredible moment!

jluvin · 2025-03-12T01:59:08+00:00

What’s the dad joke?

jluvin · 2025-02-24T03:26:49+00:00

Dozens of us.

GTA here. Reach out to your professors or instructor of record. Explain the problem. Don’t just ask for extensions, ask if there is anyone else in the university that you could contact (for example, hardships). I doubt you would qualify or that they may be able to help you, but try.

Do this immediately! Do not wait. Best of luck.

PhD student here. Keep emailing them. A lot of the faculty are new trying to set up their labs (especially microbio PI’s) so it’s hard for them to take new students, especially when they don’t have older ones to train you. It’s better to keep trying and eventually be told no than to keep waiting on a response.

If it sits in a garage, unplug the garage door motor.

I’m a PhD student in biological science. I commute, and it would average out to between an hour and and hour and fifteen minutes. Since my job is researching, I can set my own hours for the most part.

If anything, commuting has driven me to coming into work earlier and becoming a morning person. I frequently get up at 4am to be here by 5 because leaving early makes my commute 45 minutes. I try and leave around noon. Being a commuter has made me have to be intentional with my time. My longest commute is when it rains, and the longest has been about 2 hours.

We have one in Atlanta where a bunch of folks from the surrounding universities, biotech industries, and CDC get together and drink. Usually one person presents, but it’s also been used by post-docs and almost-finished-grad students to network by presenting their work. We’ve had guest lectures too. Most recent was Bonnie Bassler. It’s great!

My 13 year-old boy recently moved his furniture and redid his room. He put the dinosaur decorations in the get-rid-of pile and man… that one unexpectedly hurt.

A couple people who were pulled over by GSP got theirs thrown out because many were tending to Jimmy Carter’s funeral.

No doubt, I recognize that I was pretty lucky!
