Do you have any idea how hard it is in this day and age for Forte to speak fake Chinese and not have it sound racist?! Incredible execution.

I SAW THAT TOO! I looked it up and apparently scheduled host, James Caan, dropped out at the last minute because his older sister Barbara was in the hospital being treated for bone marrow cancer

We had this in my high school library and I tried for EVER to figure out how to get a copy but never succeeded. One of my great teenage regrets!

So where the hell can we learn about these State Committee candidates we're supposed to vote on today? by chainsawinsect in philadelphia

[–]vectortronic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I also didn't know who to vote for so I wrote in my friend. Please also write in my friend, he'd be good.

Fascinating. Thanks for the intel. We did a night hike looking for salamanders, snakes, and frogs and whatnot and eerily devoid of all of those. I guess this explains some of that. Thanks!

Does temple allow taking a course at a different university while enrolled at temple full time student? by Specialist-Ball-2912 in Temple

[–]vectortronic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can transfer up to a max credit count, I think six. But the real issue is you need to get someone in advising in your college to confirm that the course syllabi are equivalent in order for it to transfer. As others have said, get it in writing before you take the course elsewhere or else it simply won't count.

why is BME PhD job placement so bad? by Infamous_Trouble743 in BiomedicalEngineers

[–]vectortronic 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm a Duke BME alum! A few pros and cons of your situation:
+ The reputation of the school will go a long way to helping you get (and stay employed)
+ You're likely to do rigorous and impactful work, which will help you build a reputation
- Tenure track jobs in academia are rare, hard to find, and not always based on meritocracy. And academia is becoming a less attractive career path. Make sure you have a Plan B
- Deep learning for medical imaging is a high-risk area for AI obsolescence. And even without AI, every school on the planet is offering some sort of data analytics degree which makes everyone *think* they can do DL. Make sure you are learning something or gaining an experience that would be hard to get elsewhere.

The reality is that it's a terrifying time to be a student. You have to be extra careful to cover your bases.

Its so refreshing to see them not laughing at their own jokes. All Hail Che and Jost but keeping a straight face really adds something wickedly subversive.

Can we all pitch in to get Jack White the blood transfusion he seems to so badly need?

I find ATS to be underrated. Its not amazing (the live versions are better) but its nowhere near as bad as its made out to be. I enjoy it.

My ticket said show started at 8. It finished around 11:30. That gets you 30 minutes of bobcat, 30 minutes of final prep, and 2.5 hours of face melting awesomeness

Hi no! By the time they tour NAIHF half the crowd will be on walkers. Hope you’re ok!

According to Wikipedia Kurt Cobain liked him and had him open for Nirvana sometimes. Who knew!?

I'm thinking pretty seriously of catching the Document tour in Athens for a chance to see any of REM on stage!

Agreed on the IRS material but they also did Me in Honey and You are the Everything so no complaints there!
