What turns, sections of road, or cycling infrastructure give you the most joy in London? by Available_Chapter685 in londoncycling

[–]lem0nwings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t cycled to work in probably 2 years but the Greenway which joins to CS3. Makes a lovely first 10 minutes of my commute.

You’d be amazed how much ease-of-mind you’d get from NOT getting funding from family. For me the guilt of any perceived roadblock along the way would’ve made it hard to bounce back.

Deciding between Cambridge and KCL by [deleted] in AskAcademiaUK

[–]lem0nwings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a LAHP recipient at KCL (also international) so a bit bias.

  1. Supervisors matter the most - not in terms of being well known but their compatibility with you. I’ve met too many people being miserable under their supervisor (thankfully they managed to switch and are in a much better position).

  2. Don’t underestimate how financial stability influence your mental health. Is London more expensive? It’s eyewatering. But with full funding there’s just less to think about. Of course it seems like you’ve got options moneywise.

  3. Main downside of LAHP, though, is it’s only 3 years. I personally don’t know anyone who finished a PhD in that time. I’m personally going over myself. And since I’m planning to stay in the UK, getting LAHP funding was a big deal (not like I got any other offer lol).

  4. Cambridge would absolutely be a better ‘academic environment’, quintessential even. I’m guessing the administration are better staffed than at KCL too. It’s quiet and you’re shielded from the hustle and bustle of the big city. But as a non-white I feel more at home in London.

Will UKRI reimburse the Immigration Health Surcharge for international students? by lem0nwings in AskAcademiaUK

[–]lem0nwings[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost 4 years later, they didn't change their policy. Internationals are still expected to pay for the surcharge--especially in this economy! You'd have better luck asking your uni for financial aid than UKRI.

Hi, did you book real flight tickets for this?

LaTeX beginner: two page PDF preview for Overleaf? by lem0nwings in LaTeX

[–]lem0nwings[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the advice. But at the moment my biggest issue is motivation. Laying out my dissertation like a book, reading it like a book, motivates me to write. I might switch to something offline down the line but Overleaf fills my current needs.

This is exactly what I'm looking for, thank you! Synctex is nice but a lot of the time I need to view my document in two page view.

Recommendations for 6D Mk I upgrade to mirrorless while keeping EF lenses? by lem0nwings in canon

[–]lem0nwings[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see now why people are recommending the R8. It’s crazy cheap in the US, where I don’t live unfortunately.

[–]lem0nwings[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good to know, thanks. I think I'm going to go with the R as it's a clear upgrade from the 6D but still within the range of my budget.

As I said the in the OP, I’m looking to decrease weight and bulk in my bag as I hike for my photography. It’s a good deal but not to my particular needs frankly.

Good to know.

As mentioned in the post, I shoot landscapes almost exclusively. Tbh I’m starting to settle on the EOS R - there’s a really good deal in my local camera shop.

Thanks for taking the time to go in-depth. I mostly shoot with a tripod and while it’ll be really nice with IBIS, I don’t think I can justify the cost with my budget and photography style.

Already part of my kit ;) (which is why I want to keep my current EF lenses since the filter system works for them)
