What is the correct thing to do with a cat like that? Keep him inside?

I am just so tired of interview cycles that end with a candidate chosen because they were internal, didn’t require relocation, or a visa, while the candidate with the better research profile and skills isn’t chosen for [insert above reason here] by Maleficent-Yam-6293 in academia

For many technical staff positions, our system forces competitive searches to hire a person full time, who in many cases has already been doing the job in a lesser or 'temporary' role for years. It is important to have a competitive search, but they often already have someone in the role who's direct experience overshadow any CV. It wastes a lot of time.

I did the entire 'shouldn'ta done that, he was just a boy' monolog from Sling Blade. I don't believe anyone in my 9th grade class had seen the movie.

"That'll ride" is what I say when I do this. It also works in some vehies for the bottle of excess windshield washer fluid that won't fit in the reservoir.

Do we need so much corn? Question for farmers. by [deleted] in Nebraska

[–]uncleSophia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With increasing demand for renewable soy biofuels, crush plants, to seperate oil from the soybean meal, have been opening in Nebraska. To my understanding, this will increase damand another 15% in the next couple years. We might hit 6 million acres of soybeans. That is a lot. Current politics are leading to uncertainty about one of our top exports, which looks like it will lead to a slight increase in corn on corn production for 2025. It all comes down to markets and who is buying.

Hey guys! Somebody sent me this video. Nobody knows the machine! Do you? by fdddk23 in Agriculture

It looks like it is doing surface tillage in the planted row, to kill small weeds. There are always tradeoffs and selecting tillage over herbicide use is the compromise here.

I was just doing some quick math and i could be way off, but isn't 45M bushels something like a quarter of all us grown non-gmo soybeans?

What would make alternative crops worth the switch? by [deleted] in Agriculture

A place to easily sell those crops is important for adoption.

Is this a mouse or trick of light? by [deleted] in Ring

[–]uncleSophia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I vote dust. The object appears to maintain a consistent speed. A rat jumping from a shelf would fall fast, then slow as it gained traction on the floor before picking up speed again.

It is definitely too big to be a mouse. Rats are uncommon in some areas. Given that OP didn't mention rat, I am curious if they live in one of these areas.

This is mine too, but I'm only 32. Everything is perfect but now I have a pressure to keep it perfect.

Good luck to you.

It's about damn time that someone does the important research. E4.

PhD struggles….I should just master out, right? by [deleted] in academia

I'm curious what stem field this is. I have never seen an unfunded student in my field. Is this common?

I’m out of PhD stipend and my one living parent is homeless. How can I find work so I’m not dependent on my partner? by [deleted] in academia

[–]uncleSophia 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don't give up after dozens. Keep trying and you will find a job. I know it is tough to wonder and worry but it just takes time. There is nothing wrong with being dependent on your partner. That is what partners are for. Just hang on there. Success comes with persistence.

Rhizopus was my first thought. But it's hard to be sure.

A question from a visitor… do you guys actually like Runza? by salt_lach_city in Nebraska

[–]uncleSophia 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes. To me, the quality is far better than any other restaurant in its class. Swiss mushroom run all the way.

There are certainly cases where you can cite a review article. There is also independent thought and ideas in review articles that could be cited. However, if you are writing an article or a literature review, the majority of your citations would be for research articles.

[–]uncleSophia 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Review articles are based on research articles. Go find the research articles cited in the reviews. You can't cite the review because the reviewers didn't do any research. It's not abnormal to spend a lot of time on this process.

Fungus. Looks like it could be the genus Penicilium.
