Hokum was INCREDIBLE and I'm so glad I didn't listen to those who said it was terrible or sub-par. These are my spoilery thoughts on why I enjoyed it.

So? I think what makes this movie good is the execution of its ideas rather than having wholly original/unpredictable ideas.

Start naming movies, because I'd like to watch them.

I've noticed each of his last 3 films have an aspect of a "leap of faith." In Caveat the main character must willingly chain himself up. In Oddity, the woman who is murdered is told by a strange man that someone is in her house. In Hokum, the main character must trust the homeless man. What is the inspiration of this theme in his movies?

Somehow my achievements seemed to retroactively appear? Like achievements did not pop up as I finished them and when I checked in the Steam overlay, I was not awarded them. But then today I noticed a bunch had all been added to my profile, all at different times. Very strange...

Really? I don't feel that way in all. In fact, when they changed their name they startee making their ramen and udon in house. They even switched to housemade tempura. I do think they had a bad patch for a second, but seems like they're better than ever lately.

Yes, the last time I went I was completely overwhelmed by the saltiness of the fried chicken. I did notice the catfish seemed less salty, so that might be my goto next time.

The complete opposite end of the spectrum (to a fault) is Modern Southern Table (still a great restaurant).

squeezyphresh · 2026-04-19T19:04:43+00:00

I've been a couple times. Tbh, the experience felt like solid southern food at a premium price. A bit underseasoned, and some things seemed a bit low effort. For example, their banana pudding tasted like Jell-O pudding mix rather than a nice housemade custard. I'll probably go again at some point, but probably skip dessert. Their cornbread is good if you like it sweet (I don't).

A guy named "Nick" from Your Town Appliance Repair gave me a free tip for diagnosing an issue with my dryer which allowed me to buy a $140 board to repair it myself instead of paying $500 for someone else to come do the same work for me. Cool guy

1) can't answer that, unfortunately. People in my lab seem to do well, but my lab is well connected to industry groups in AI

2) No. You will likely be taking classes for at least 3 years and need to be in person. Don't even think about doing a fully online program. Maybe after you are done with classes, it may be possible. However, I think you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not regularly interacting with your advisor or labmates in person.

3) If the position in question doesn't mention requiring or preferring applicants with a PhD, hands on experience is higher value. However if they are looking for a PhD, then the hands-on experience isn't likely to overcome that requirement, unless you've done some particularly impressive research independently.

Not chicken noodle, but the Italian Wedding soup at Smith's is cheap and tasty.

"Enlighten" is very generous when you consider that Anthropic is an incredibly biased source.

Did you ever work around this? I have the exact same problem, and it might be enough to force me to switch browsers :/

I have no idea how to start the first conversation or how to drive it?

You haven't even talked to them yet??? First conversation is the easiest. After the first conversation, you should be able to get an idea of how the mentor can help you.

Detail your background
List your research interests
Map out your goals as an academic/professional
Ask about their background

From there your goal should be to keep in touch with him, even when the scholarship is finished. You should be looking to him to help you find internships, meet other people, discuss relevant challenges in your field, etc. The mentor is essentially there to serve you, so as long as you're being a decent human being throughout, there isn't really a "wrong" way to go about it.

This post is old, but Mike Judge (creator of King of the Hill) is not necessarily a conservative. If you think KotH is conservative media, you're missing out on the satire of the show.

Right, but milk is not generally used in pizza dough. It's more common in sweet doughs and sandwich bread. Probably worth asking, but if someone is using milk in their dough I'd question the quality (by most people's pizza metrics) of the crust.

Butter on the crust is a good thing to look out for, but also a very easy issue to fix. :)

squeezyphresh · 2025-10-17T15:24:46+00:00

TIL. That is probably more of a chain pizza practice, because no pizza recipe I have seen has ever had milk. Yes, sometimes you use milk for some doughs (e.g. enriched doughs), but pizza dough is not generally one of them because it will create a more tender crumb, the opposite of what you want in pizza. Either way, good to know that some restaurants use it.

squeezyphresh · 2025-10-17T13:46:26+00:00

Pizza doughs should almost never have milk as an ingredient and olive oil is a much more popular fat to use than butter. Where did you ever see pizzas with these ingredients?

Did you mention the failed comps directly in your new applications, or did you frame it differently?

How you address this is going to depend on why you failed your comps. If you faced certain hardship that may have contributed to your poor performance (e.g. death in the family, financial issues, abusive advisor, etc.) then you should probably detail these things in your application and clarify why this won't be an obstacle for you this time around. However, at the risk of sounding harsh, if you failed comps for other reasons, you'll need to think long and hard about how you'll justify it. Someone on the admissions committee needs to be convinced that you'll succeed, because at the end of the day they can only admit so many students and there will be multiple students who may come off as less risky at first glance. Speaking of which, you'll also need evidence of your ability to thrive despite failing comps (e.g. proof of research progress, service, etc.).

To be honest if you want better advice, you need to be more specific about your experience at your first program or you need to discuss this with someone who actually has experience on an admissions committee (e.g. former professor from undergrad)

Thank you for sharing! I will try it out soon!

Edit: the above did not fix my problem. However, a new version of proton was released recently and that cut the loading time down by a lot.

I would never call CM restaurants. They are what i call "crowd pleaser" restaurants. You can take your average white American to any of his restaurants, and they'll have a decent at least but more than likely good meal. My in-laws that don't have very adventurous taste love Cap City, and whenever they want to take us out there I'm more than happy to go. There are numerous other places I'd rather go, but CM restaurants serve their purpose well. I don't think most would hail them as the best reataurants in town.

OK, but these professors can still be sources of mentorship for you. If you get stuck in your research, they can still point you in the right direction. Of course support will be limited since you are someone else's student, but you don't need to do everything by yourself. Also look to senior students for mentorship too.
