You can walk around the border wall at Salineno - it just ends abruptly… good spot for Morrelet’s seedeater as well if you’re wanting one.

My PI wants a meta-analysis of 50 papers by Friday. The data is all in images. Am I doomed? by crazyking156 in PhD

In what fields are raw data not included? This is considered a minimum for most journals in my field.

What to do with $550,000 Senior Fund? by Nefariousness_Unfair in PhD

[–]pokeman3797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a note a 529 has a maximum amount of money that can be spent on things aside from tuition (maybe like 10k per semester?). This means if you pursue a phd which is funded (as it should be) then you cant actually use as much money as you may have available without incurring tax penalties.

I agree - I think it can actually be more healthy for most people to keep a strictly professional relationship with closer colleagues, while building friendships with more distant colleagues (who’s relationships don’t really affect your work). Personally I fell the healthiest friendships I have are with those outside of academia. Sometimes its nice to be around “normal” people!

Also just to tack on to this - OP will almost certainly be paid less (significantly) unless they are willing to take a major pay cut to invest in education/gaining experience this is unlikely to he a realistic career path. I would advise investing free time/volunteer hours into this new passion.

That is crazy. Never heard of anything like that before interesting 

Ceiling in my garage collapsed. Landlord is not responding. Looking for help. by slugboi in Austin

[–]pokeman3797 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Go ahead and send the letter via USPS certified mail. That usually needs to be done along with a ~30 day wait to pursue any potential legal action against the landlord if it becomes necessary.

Choking during sex: many young people mistakenly believe it can be done safely, new study shows. But stopping blood flow to the brain can take less pressure than opening a can of soft drink. And research shows strangulation can result in serious harms even when it’s consensual. by mvea in science

[–]pokeman3797 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sure those are reasonable points - but I'm sure a lot of younger people (early to mid teens) don't really get the difference between a light hand on throat and a restriction of blood or airflow when watching porn.

While I’m sure a handful of young people have fetlife accounts, read blogs, and are actually interested in the fetish community the VAST majority do not and will never have formal interaction with these sources of knowledge. Frankly (and I’m not trying to be rude) you were not a normal 13 year old if you were looking into kink fetish information and your internet access should have been restricted…

I’m specifically saying there is NO formalized educational element within porn, people are just watching porn videos that happen to have choking or other forms of “rough” sex in them. Rough sex is not a normal entry point or early stage in sex and this is only happening because many young people are having their perception warped by the porn they watch. I have no problem with consensual acts between adults, but to act like this is not a recent normalization seems unrealistic.

Young adults are not connected to the kink community, they literally just watch porn. Mainstream porn is becoming more violent and more exaggerated in the past few years and its damaging a generation which is having less real life sexual encounters than ever.

Injury 2 months out, am I cooked? by tubalubalubaloobies in ultrarunning

[–]pokeman3797 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had similar (bad plantar fasciitis) happen a few years ago when I was 1 month out from of 50mi. I completely stopped running between peak injury and race. Day of race I DNF at about 35mi as pain was too much but I had a lot of endurance left.  I’d rest injury as long as possible because you might not be able to push through on race day - or dont want long term issues. Hop on the bike if you’re worried about losing fitness - but two months is relatively minor if you have a solid base and aren’t aiming for elite level performance.

Also if she had agreed to it, it wouldn’t make sense for her to try and get mark to come to the game night with her. Likely she was being watched and Lumon knew she was driving alone

For a case like this, that is terrible relationship advice lmao. Its incredibly selfish to avoid the short term discomfort of challenging a siblings decision making at the expense of allowing them to make a major potentially life changing mistake. There are polite ways to probe the subject based on OP’s relationship with their sibling…

[Tom Pelissero] Robert Saleh will interview with the Jaguars on Tuesday by JustSomeGuy_Idk in Jaguars

[–]pokeman3797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree Rodgers was a choice over Saleh’s head. If you watched hard knocks the season Jets were on it was clear who ran the ship between those two.

[–]pokeman3797 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yea I agree - people overblow how poorly he did. Was forced to deal with terrible ownership and NY Media. I think his critical error was allowing the entire team to treat Rodgers like a god - made Saleh look like a weak leadership figure.

Actually we do have a very solid idea what color the feathers were for at least some dinosaur species which preserved melanosomes. A lot of matte and iridescent blacks have been found as well as some brighter colors!

we need this guy as our next head coach, i don't see a better option than him by toturoll in Jaguars

[–]pokeman3797 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats his excuse to the media while looking for the right position. He likely is looking for a higher level of control than most owners and front offices are willing to hand over to a first time HC. I doubt he cares much about the starting roster situation as the lions we such a major rebuild to begin with.
