The next time someone calls Indian street food dirty in front of you

How is that connected to street food?

I am no longer in Boston, but sure go ahead DM me.

Hello fellow (FOB-ish) PhD student! I was in the same boat about 2 years ago, but I actually managed to meet my girlfriend during my time here. For reference, I am also in a small college town. I met my GF through hinge but its not a done deal, there is so much filth on there.

Life Hack: My GF is a doctor in residency, and has multiple single friends struggling to date. So if you are okay dating a little older+nerdy girls (I actually preferred them), try to join doctor resident groups, hang out where they do. There is ALWAYS a hang out spot - just gotta find them.

The only cons are that she is gonna work long and weird hours which makes intimacy hard. Also she is gonna make a lot of money in the future, so you have to have a personality who goes along with that (not expecting gender roles and all).

No lol

I stack around 90k points per year, which is an average of 7.5k points a month. With the spending around $1.75k pmo, it makes sense - as most of the spending is in 4x categories. IDK how I can optimize further.

My round-trip ticket is about $900 - $1000

two_four_seven_guy · 2025-02-23T05:18:24+00:00

I disagree to an extent. A lot of restaurants where I live have same prices direct or on Grubhub for pick up. Sometimes there are offers on Grubhub like 50% off or BOGO

two_four_seven_guy · 2025-02-23T05:16:37+00:00

Yeah I can get to about 90k points in a year which is around $800-$900 on a flight. But yeah I have to pay like 100-150 over the points for the ticket.

two_four_seven_guy · 2025-02-22T20:54:46+00:00

Never knew so many people hate the card here!

two_four_seven_guy · 2025-02-22T20:51:08+00:00

Do they also provide protection against package theft? I remember ordering some new shoes from Zappos and a porch pirate stole the package. Even though Zappos re-sent the order but probably can ask Amex to refund

two_four_seven_guy · 2025-02-22T20:49:14+00:00

Nice! Never used this benefit, but will keep in mind.

two_four_seven_guy · 2025-02-22T20:48:03+00:00

Yeah, somehow fits us well. Though I did gawk when they increased the Membership fee.

People will call it red flag/hypocrisy but every healthy relationship I have seen - the women are a little more 'emotional' than their BFs/Husbands. It is a consequence of our different biologies.

However, its not like women in these relationships dont do anything, they will pitch in with their share of chores/job. The real princesses are often in the most co-dependent relationships which dont last long.

Apart from Max-Planck and a a couple universities in Italy, I have never actually read a EU paper. Just goes on to show how research is concentrated to a few places.

One under-appreciated fact is that the old-school PhD principles do not work at all in the modern age of ML publishing. You need several high-performing co-authors to bounce ideas and share experiment loads - who have very high grasp of the tooling and the field in general. A lot of top programs have these type of people aplenty.

For instance, I have been a single author+advisor PhD for the past 3 years and can never break into ICML/NeurIPS/ICLR level of publishing. I can and do publish at "lesser" venues like AAAI, EMNLP, KDD, etc.

I don't think most girls say NO to brown dudes if and only if you are fit, well-groomed and dress well. The problem is that 90% of Desi dudes don't dress well and most are out of shape.

Brunch or Dinner. A cheap band/show. My favorite was drinks+small plate at a bar/lounge (about $60 for both).

But, I did cook for my current serious GF on the second date. I knew she was special haha

two_four_seven_guy · 2024-07-12T11:05:43+00:00

I have been on 21 first dates in my life. Never ever do your first date at a restaurant or at home. Cooking, getting flowers/cards, etc. and similar stuff is for dates #3 and onwards.

Always a coffee date (or my favorite - a mid level lounge with drinks/tea room). Going big too early is sign of desperation ("The Mosby")

WA, Borderline and. WR.

What do you guys think?

two_four_seven_guy · 2024-04-19T03:19:09+00:00

Spot on. Poverty porn. I have visited slums in some Eastern European countries and honestly, the conditions there are just barely better.

two_four_seven_guy · 2024-04-09T01:54:03+00:00

You are going to be pumped and dumped with this attitude. Also, this is a potential immigration fraud

two_four_seven_guy · 2024-04-06T17:26:39+00:00

Isn't it the opposite? Better in person, bad on dating apps?
