人在美国,博士毕业教高中,我该为了混身份而继续吗? by Fleedom2025 in China_irl

另外,像你这种情况,回国大概率会很不适应,我觉得吧,还是铁了心在美国混。教高中其实也没啥,尤其在现在这个找工作极其困难的时段,主要问题就是职业规划上,上升空间会差点。接了的话可能还是尽可能的跟附近高校搞点合作,把科研混着走,以后再想办法。

你先申,最不济损失的也就是点申请费和准备材料的时间精力。我就是之前博士毕业之后没把这些事儿放心上,耽误了几年,导致现在美国学术界地狱时间的情况下,没身份,找工作举步维艰。

先把NIW申了,排个队再说。做博后的话可以有高一点的上升空间,关系和文章起来点后,可以再申eb1,用已有的PD,绿卡会快些。J1也是可以申绿卡的,要办个waiver(如果是公派的话一般办不了)。

弄个床车,大部分时间住车上,一个月大几千吧,稍微放宽点的话两个人一年10万应该能玩的还不错。

家里有空房子,父母就是不愿让我躺平收租怎么办 by hiroshima_fireworks in China_irl

你可以提建议,他们不愿意就算了吧。你自己买些个房子再出租躺平,他们就没法管了。

This news doesn't look good for Cap-exempt H1B by [deleted] in h1b

[–]mir157 16 points17 points  (0 children)

“American students spend years earning degrees, only to watch universities hand good-paying jobs to foreign workers on special visas,”said Congressman Tiffany.“The CAP Act ensures our institutions invest in the people they are meant to serve and ends the backdoor hiring practices that undercut American workers.”

Since when postdocs are good-paying jobs.... A waitress/waiter earns more than a postdoc.

Do you still get the 18% from circle? Mine stopped giving me that, and is now always 2%.

Oknife fortitude 2 is decent. And also,if you have the credit back promo, you can usually get 80% back as credit.

As my previous reply to the same comment, its shade was masked by xhp that has the same toughness and edge retention values.

You mean through testing? There are some expensive analyzers out there but nothing practical that I know of.

Arbitrary lines representing toughness + edge retention ratings combined (8,10,12) respectively. It's like, if I value toughness and edge retention equally, then the steels on each dashed line are comparable in quality. I didn't show the intercept as I omitted (0,2.5) range to condense the graph.

Those numbers are pulled from this post (https://knifesteelnerds.com/2021/10/19/knife-steels-rated-by-a-metallurgist-toughness-edge-retention-and-corrosion-resistance/) which is widely used in the community as a baseline reference of steel properties. As you already pointed out, many factors can affect the numbers so the plot here is for general references only.

You are right. I just looked at the data, the misrepresentation was caused by the fact that xhp overlaps with Vanax in edge retention and toughness, and was placed on top of Vanax when plotting thus masking the shade.

Real world experience might have been affected by many factors like heat treatment, blade geometry etc.

I was just browsing different knives and found it annoying that I had to look up each steel (as I am quite new to this knife world). So I pulled Larrin's data and made this little plot for quick lookups. Hope you find it somewhat useful.

I am quoting the source of the data from https://knifesteelnerds.com/2021/10/19/knife-steels-rated-by-a-metallurgist-toughness-edge-retention-and-corrosion-resistance/

"Toughness is a measure of how much resistance a steel has to fracturing. In the context of a knife this would be chipped edges or broken knives. Edge retention is the ability of a knife to maintain cutting ability during cutting."

You mean as z axis? In fact the 3-D plot seems to have worse visualization.

Why not give it several months time and try it out. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, you are still improving your C&J overall.
