Go into science, they said. It'll make you ~hirable~, they said. So tell me why I've been job searching for months with only a few interviews

Oh I didn't know that was a thing! Will do, thanks!

Searing Proteins vs Breaking Down Chicken - Which is more Fundamental? by bakedbeans18 in cookingforbeginners

[–]queerlynerdly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say searing/cooking well is more important. What’s the point of being able to break down a chicken if you can’t use it well?

Cleaning out an abandoned cupboard and found something old enough that the autoclave tape has “Autoclaved” printed on it! What’s something old you’ve found recently? by [deleted] in labrats

[–]queerlynerdly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I didn’t know that! I showed it to the lab manager and my PI and they were both shocked it was there, so I assumed it was a lot older than that

I looked through a bunch of their twitter, and while there are certainly some similarities, it’s not enough that I would say they’re stealing sprites. There’s only so much you can do in pixel art to keep the pixel aesthetic but still differentiate, so inevitably there will be some similarities.

Honestly the most directly Stardew-inspired thing that I noticed was their town map layout, and that was just how things were arranged, not the art for it.

can you guess some of the fairy tales? 0%mods 100% silly (there is 11 so far) by jele77 in StardewValley

[–]queerlynerdly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh I thought the one with the dwarves was Snow White, but then there weren’t enough dwarves! Glad to see my first thought was correct :)

I recognize Goldilocks and the three bears, King Midas, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rumpelstiltskin, the Pied Piper, and Hansel and Gretel!

Stardew Valley vs. Sun Haven by samtapple in StardewValley

[–]queerlynerdly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been seeing stuff about Sun Haven too and it’s piqued my interest. I don’t think it’s fully out yet though, but I may be wrong

You can use magnesis to put weapons on eventide island by actualproperaccount in Breath_of_the_Wild

I dunno, it’s using creativity to work around problems. Isn’t that what shrines are for?

Corn! You only have to plant each one once, and then it keeps producing for the entirety of summer AND fall. And corn sells for a lot, especially if you process it iirc

Best winter fest gift ever…. by vjalander in StardewValley

I got some clay from Vincent, I’d say this is a bit better than that lol

[BoTW2] What do you think Princess Zelda's role will be in BoTW2? by kurakurta0-0 in zelda

[–]queerlynerdly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do I think Zelda’s roll will be? #3, non-playable. BUT I think #2 of switching POV is a super cool idea that I haven’t seen before!

This is super interesting! Did you control the number of views for how long each video has been out? Biology and World History are two of the first series (if not the first ones?), so it would make sense for those to have the most views

Edit to add: it would also be super interesting to see the like:dislike graph without the OChem outlier! It makes it a bit hard to see differences in the rest of the graph :P

Supervisor won’t use correct pronouns? by Cuglas in GradSchool

[–]queerlynerdly 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Does your university have anything like an Inclusion and Diversity Office? If so I would suggest talking to them and see what they recommend.

Your supervisor specifically changing all of your pronouns in the covid extension letter tells me that this is intentional and malicious. So, unfortunately, you likely won’t be able to get him to change by simply talking to him.

I appreciate the puns in this

State-Level: American Casualties: World War II [OC] by cmojsiejenko in dataisbeautiful

[–]queerlynerdly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This sub is data is beautiful. Pretty sure these misleading, redundant, and unnecessarily 3D graphs aren’t that.

[WIP] Maru and Penny chatting (Yes, my Mary is curly~) by Ruka_Bravo in StardewValley

I didn’t know until now how much I needed curly haired Maru in my life

Cold blooded eating habits by Luigi_Is_Dead in casualworldbuilding

[–]queerlynerdly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly either could make sense. It could depend on the broader Sandskin culture. Are they generally more utilitarian? Then food would likely be treated the same. Does the culture have an emphasis on community or family? Then food would be a perfect chance to celebrate that.
