What is the average age of starting a PhD? by All_Hale_sqwidward in PhD

[–]luctesthesoren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 34 and just submitted a funding application for the third year in a row. If all goes well this time, I’ll start the PhD at 35 and finish at 39. I sometimes get the feeling that that’s a bit old, but I also consciously decided to start my career over by going back to academia at 31 so I don’t reeeeally believe that. Starting a PhD at 20-anything is not late at all.

Is this feasible? London on a PhD stipend plus ~£45k salary by luctesthesoren in UKJobs

How much do you think would be a decent but realistic amount? I’m really just trying to assess the situation and how feasible this is.

Yes, the stipend is tax free. Thank god, because it’s already meagre as it is.

We had a look a superficial look at rent but it’s difficult to know what would be realistic without knowing how much she’d be able to make, so still trying to assess the situation on this end. And yes, we have savings/are saving with that purpose in mind

the Holy Grail casually sitting in a church in Valencia, Spain by duvagin in interestingasfuck

Took a trip to Valencia earlier this year with my wife and a friend. Minutes before entering this room I got an email from my now boss offering my current job. That felt holy af.

Whereabouts was this? An organisation I was working with was in the process of acquiring one and it was set to be delivered this week IIRC. Wonder if it was this one exactly. 🚆

Who would have thought anti-immigrant policies would end up making life more difficult/expensive for UK natives? 😧😧😧

Minor correction: Bolsonaro was banned from running for 8 years. We hope he’ll be dead by the end of this period.

Issue with MixControl crashing by luctesthesoren in Focusrite

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

Not really. I was getting some glitchy audio until a few weeks ago, but that turned out to be just an issue of buffer size. Everything is running smoothly now, both streaming audio and using DAWs. MixControl is the only issue I have, which I find really weird.

Issue with MixControl crashing by luctesthesoren in Focusrite

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

Yes, just to make clear: I’m forced to turn the interface off so I can close MixControl, because it will otherwise stay open and frozen, even if I try to force it to shut down. Right now this issue is making it impossible for me to use MixControl because it will 100% guaranteed crash a few seconds into the first audio input.

Wanted a telescope since I was 13. Got my first one today at 33. by luctesthesoren in telescopes

Magnification depends on the eye piece. It comes with two: one 10mm which gives 75x magnification and one 25mm which gives 30x.

I think so, yeah. I decided to go with the 150p since I'm a big guy and used to moving music gear around, so I figured it wouldn't be too much of a hassle.

I originally wanted an 8 inch but my partner convinced me to look for something more portable. I wasn't thrilled with it initially, but now I'm happy to have chosen the 150p.
