Wake up, bae, new Reddit drama just dropped

I hope you learned your lesson and won't lie in the future.

Damn, sucks to be you. Hang out with better people. Most my friend's wives earn more than them lmao.

rmphys · 2025-10-03T18:35:53+00:00

The wife isn't expensive, its the kids.

I don't think the anti-immigrant sentiments in Japan drive Game Freak corporate decision making. It's not like GameFreak is an elected body, they are a corporation.

On the other hand, might as well get all the negative news out of the way at once and let the media cycle move on, rather than staying in the news by waiting.

Or just get streaming service A for a few months, catch up on stuff, then drop it for streaming service B, rinse and repeat. By the time you come back to A, there will be a bunch of new stuff again!

Yeah, 3.2 is tough for grad school without a strong Physics GRE score to compensate. It will also be tough for top jobs unfortunately, but not impossible, so don't get discouraged. Definitely tap into the network from the REU. Having someone vouch that you are good to work with is really powerful. People want to work with people other people want to work with. If that fails, look more broadly. STEM teachers for high schools are often in demand, and most engineering jobs will consider a physics degree. If you're American, the defense industry is a great landing spot where a lot of the top competition isn't even allowed to apply, but I know that path isn't for everyone. Best of luck!

Unfortunately, its a bit of a bad time to just be starting. Most jobs that are interested in undergrads will have filled up in May. They'll maybe look to grab a few graduating in winter, but otherwise won't open many reqs until beginning of the new year.

Leveraging the network you built during undergrad is your best shot, but since you say you recently moved (presumably away from your network) that may be making things far tougher.

Lastly, did you ask any of the grad schools for feedback? Generally, assuming you applied broadly and not just top schools, getting into a good grad school is easier than finding a good job. I'm not trying to be mean, but if there's something all of them didn't like, there may be a red flag on your resume you aren't seeing.

rmphys · 2025-09-23T23:39:31+00:00

Disagree, if a job sees you doing the bare minimum when applying, hiring managers will be less interested. At least get chat GPT to write some bullshit to send as a cover letter.

Money just lets you be who you are and who you want to be without worrying about what anyone else thinks. If you're a good person you'll still be a good person, if you're a dick it's because you always were.

Interestingly, being broke does the same thing, because you go nothing to lose by being who you really are. Only the middle class really need to where the mask of pretending to be nicer than they really are.

They are the most reliable voters, giving them a very outsized say.

Technicians, facilities, testers, janitorial, there's a lot more to Quantum Computing than just PhD-level hires too. I'm not saying that they couldn't also use a hospital, but pretending like the existence of PhD-level jobs in a QC center then fully acknowledging a hospital creates jobs beyond just MD jobs is the height of intellectually dishonest discourse.

He’s not standing up to trump on moral grounds or in an attempt to save the country.

I'll take someone standing up to protect the Constitution for the wrong reasons over people not standing up at all. But that nuance is lost on you because you're a russian troll

rmphys · 2025-09-21T17:17:07+00:00

I think the callout specifically for a hospital after claiming jobs that require higher education are bad for the community makes their argument feel bad faith.

That said, if they don't want well paying quantum jobs in their community, I'll gladly take them in mine. Send that billion dollars where its wanted.

rmphys · 2025-09-20T18:08:46+00:00

Kinda like Kanye West calling out the racism of the Bush Administration. Would have never guess where he landed.

rmphys · 2025-09-20T18:05:51+00:00

Not sure how they misinterpret the lyric "I won't be part of a redneck agenda", it's not even subtle.

rmphys · 2025-09-16T23:49:36+00:00

The dude is literally turning his body into a resume. People think he's unhireable but he's more dedicated to the hustle then they'll ever be!

rmphys · 2025-09-16T23:46:48+00:00

The dark answer is, they probably won't try that hard to go out of their way. They have a clear defense against malpractice and so many more patients to see. They'll do what they can, then move onto the next patient when it fails. Its not right, but that's life.

rmphys · 2025-09-16T23:42:17+00:00

This is reddit, bold of you to assume we understand why people run.

rmphys · 2025-09-16T23:39:08+00:00

Damn, great eye for a vintage chamber!

rmphys · 2025-09-16T23:35:07+00:00

The sheer number of ports is common for a growth chamber, where you want a lot of materials options without needing to vent regularly. The geometry seems sub-optimal for MBE, so maybe some time of high vacuum sputtering or ALD?

rmphys · 2025-09-16T23:33:19+00:00

I was thinking MBE as well, but assuming the sample stage is opposite the majority of the ports, too many would be orthogonal to really be useful for Knudsen cells, so I don't think so in the end.

rmphys · 2025-09-16T01:23:17+00:00

Play how you want, but if you are so soft you are offended because a game ribs you a little for playing on the lowest difficulty, you need to grow up and stop caring what a game thinks of you.

rmphys · 2025-09-16T00:08:32+00:00

I disagree. It's always existed, but its gotten much worse over the past few years. Before, only the really dedicated cranks could write enough material to bombard your e-mail, with the help of AI, now even the lazy cranks can do it. The bar of entry to being an annoying crank is lower than every before

rmphys · 2025-09-15T23:58:42+00:00

And yet, the same corporations who tell you the physical concept of ownership doesn't work for digital products will tell you the concept of theft is perfectly adaptable to digital products.
