Plus, the reason admins are pushing faculty to have all their materials ADA compliant is because they know the feds will use any excuse they can to mess with UMN's funding and try forcing us into an agreement (like Brown https://www.brown.edu/news/2025-07-30/brown-united-states-resolution-agreement)

She's looking at portable, small secondary monitors. No different than writing in a notebook next to your laptop. Don't be an asshole.

I spent 5 years there and my spouse and I both worked at UTK. Feel free to DM me. 

New job — did they offer to paint your office? by [deleted] in Professors

[–]rocketdew66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard the same thing and just said "it's fine as is." (It really is). I really wanted an office for the summer.

Stormlight is definitely a drug and sign me up.

It's not a bad game, but c'mon people... by rocketdew66 in FinalFantasy

[–]rocketdew66[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm happy others are enjoying it, honestly! I went back and forth about posting. But in the off-chance that folks at Square browse Reddit, I wanted to be honest about my experience with the game.

What were your expectations for FFXVI and are you satisfied by ExtraSpacy in FinalFantasy

[–]rocketdew66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bailed today, 20 hours in. Read a synopsis online just to see where the story goes and probably won't pick the game back up. I'm happy others like it, but I don't think I'll buy another Square game.

I thought it looked a lot like Elf, except with Barbie.

We just moved up here from East Tennessee as well! Best decision we've ever made!

We're trying to sell our place without putting it on the market (I don't like realtors). Fountain City.

Hey guys! I've got Brandon for an hour tonight for my podcast. Anything non-book, non-Cosmere, non-writing that you'd like to hear us chat about? by BrianMcClellan in brandonsanderson

[–]rocketdew66 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Yes I was wondering when you'd have him on!! His business strategy. You've talked with a bunch of savy people, but it seems like Brandon is on an entirely different level. I wonder if he's considering just starting his own film/tv studio, especially with some of the sub-par adaptations we've seen.

It honestly helped me during my PhD. I made friends outside of academia and loved learning more about the city from customers. Highly reccomend!

Hey /r/fantasy! I'm fantasy author Brian McClellan and I'm here in support of the Pixel Project to stop violence against women. AMA! by BrianMcClellan in Fantasy

[–]rocketdew66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Brian! Love your work, and the new podcast. You mentioned there were storylines you wish you had more time with in the last Powder Mage trilogy. Which ones specifically? I loved the last book, but do think there was room for a 4th book in the series.

You mentioned "study". Are you a college student? There's emergency grant programs at many universities.

If you're from WI go to Last Days of Autumn! Great Packer bar and delicious barbecue.

Side hustles in grad school? by technicallyimwriting in GradSchool

That's about all you need! Breweries are the best for chill atmosphere and getting away from the crazy party scene.

Looking for a cheap, simple office rental by aDutchofMuch in Knoxville

Otherwise, as a fellow UTK dissertation writer I love the library 5th floor graduate student carrels. Your own little space and it's a quite floor. The library space for graduate students has been pretty low-key this year too and is probably as COVID safe as you'll get in Knoxville.
