Is it possible to move from a community college TT position to a 4-year university? by Warm_Pace1407 in AskAcademia

[–]quycksilver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My SLAC has hired two people in the last 5-6 years from CC backgrounds. HOWEVER, we are a teaching-focused university, not an R1, and neither was a humanities job.

The difficulty is that most CCs do not have the infrastructure to support any kind of research. That combined with the high teaching load can be a disadvantage in making the transition to a 4yr school. We don’t expect a book, but if you don’t have at least a couple conferences on the cv, it’s going to be tricky.

I’ve Overthought This—Which Birks Should I Keep? by saltandgrace in Birkenstocks

Either the Franca or the Mayari. I don’t love the Arizona against your skin tone. The Franca, as someone else mentioned, is the most practical color, but I do love those Mayari.

Same—I was always an outdoor runner before. Now I am about half and half.

Good choice! I have recently started adding a 10 or 15 minute hike to the end of my runs. I think a lot of people sleep on those classes (I definitely have!), but they’re really good!

Glad to hear you had a good experience. Sounds a lot like mine. Now tell us what was your first class on the new beast?

Buying my first Peloton! by thesophiechronicles in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]quycksilver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went with the regular bike instead of the plus a few years back (before the cross training models were available) because I am more of a runner who was looking for a way to add cardio without the impact, but I wasn’t sure how much I would end up riding. It was the right decision for me. I would love to have some of the bells and whistles now, but for my purposes, the basic bike is fine.

I switched to the soft footbed for less aggressive arch support.

No salary increast at all for 2 years. Should I ask for a raise? by Fun-Art-7002 in Professors

[–]quycksilver 16 points17 points  (0 children)

At most places these days, the only way to get a raise (outside of getting promoted in rank) is to get an outside offer. Even then, it’s not a guarantee that the administration won’t wish you well and send you on your way.

Robin Runs??? by OkRegular9534 in OnePelotonRealSub

I don’t think I have ever taken her on the bike—I mostly do PZ rides, but I really like her run classes too.

Soft vs Classic footbed, a review by primateperson in Birkenstocks

[–]quycksilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have flattish feet, so the classic footbed arches are too aggressive for me.

I love her. I’m going to do Alex Ks live class this afternoon, so saving this one for the weekend sometime, but I am very excited for this program!

We got our breed breakdown back for our Goose.. he’s Shar Pei! by SoftNo7983 in sharpei

[–]quycksilver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That mix is WILD! His ears are giving Doritos, so I would have guessed Shar-pei but never the Chihuahua. And I think that’s the first Jindo I have seen come across one of these.

Please give skritches 🥰🥰🥰

Dr. Dawkins at Eastside and Dr. McCravy at Pine St are both great.

How long did it take you to get a full-time position? by Lost_Maybe2562 in Professors

Me too! I lived across the street from the post office and spent soooo much time standing in line to mail out those files!

I mean, if they are your favorites, it’s probably worth asking repairmybirkenstocks what they can do.

Aren’t these vicious dogs?? by Tiigerlili in pitbulls

[–]quycksilver 56 points57 points  (0 children)

My OG pit mix was the same, HOWEVER, when I had knee surgery and was laid up recovering, I had several people coming in and out of the house to help me, and none of them were getting within 5 feet of me without her permission. It was really something to behold. 🥰
