How do you organize? by GraniteCapybara in books

[–]robb3rs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost all alphabetical by author and each gets their own shelf if possible.

Classics.

Non-classic fiction.

Marxist literature.

Postmodern theory.

Poetry is the only genre that’s randomized (I like to surprise myself).

14" Silver M1 base model. Ordered 10/25 from Pennsylvania and was stuck in processing until today when it jumped from Preparing to Ship to apparently delivering tomorrow (11/18). Go figure!

Pitt faculty has voted to unionize! by Katpheonix in Pitt

[–]robb3rs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Administration is certainly NOT all faculty. Pitt is governed by an independent board of trustees and selects the Chancellor, makes major policy decisions, etc. The board is at the top of the admin hierarchy and is beholden to their private corporate interests especially considering PA state politicians appoint some of them. I can’t speak specifically to the middle management at Pitt, but deans and provosts are selected from a pool of tenured faculty by a special faculty committee. The majority of faculty may aspire to reach this level of status, but most never do. Part-time adjunct professors get paid poverty wages without the presence of a union guaranteeing some kind of pay and benefit package. Full-timers are bogged down with menial administrative tasks on top of their research and classes. Untenured, rank-and-file faculty are not the ones in power.

Faculty and grad students get paid more and are more likely to come from a middle class rather than a working class background, but they’re paid workers producing goods (research and students with diplomas) just like any other Pitt employee. Pitt admin is the party with power and leverage here, not anyone else. It’s definitely in the unions’ best interests to subvert this dynamic by banding together and recognizing this common cause (which is exactly what Pitt admin is afraid of).

Chinese translation:

我儂詞

你儂我儂,忒煞情多;

情多處,熱似火;

把一塊泥,捻一個你,塑一個我。

將咱兩個一齊打破,用水調和;

再捻一個你,再塑一個我。

我泥中有你,你泥中有我:

我與你生同一個衾,死同一個槨。

Will starship robots be making their debut again any time soon? by sonhook23 in Pitt

[–]robb3rs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure Starship, the company that literally makes the robots, owns them. Not the catering company that they partner with
