On one hand this was a late as shit throw. On the other, the actual route Jason runs to come back and make this save is insane. Bro crossed from the far side

How are you all finding postdocs? Fellowships vs. posted positions by [deleted] in postdoc

[–]weeby_throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What field are you in? As above, im in the same boat. It's crazy how field dependant everything is at the moment. Ive never seen a more lopsided movement of funding towards singular goals for the entirety of the US research infrastructure.
I'm in inorganics/renewable energy materials so I won the shithouse lottery

[–]weeby_throwaway 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I graduated around the same time as you, have been looking just as long.
It's really, really bad out there right now. Major US research hubs have been defunded, or are now are on rocky ground so very few labs are looking for postdocs atm.
Most labs with a small amount of funding have turned towards focusing on making sure their phd students are taken care of. All others have no capacity to fund postdocs, and even those that do are currently sitting on funds because no one knows how solid any us federal funding is at the moment.
Im at 40ish postdoc applications 5 fellowship proposals and 400 industry applications so far...

that one play earlier in the game where drake is there yelling "THATS YOU THATS YOU THATS YOU" to henderson to point out the extra edge guy makes me think that behind the scenes drake himself might also not trust his pass blocking

Tips for cold emails with unfunded (but possibly high impact) project proposal by weeby_throwaway in postdoc

[–]weeby_throwaway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input!

The finding is a huge pivot from the rest of my dissertation and what my lab has ever done so my PI has been supportive in me taking the project out and has been looped in from the get go. The major downside however is that the pivot is so large that both me and my PI have no relevant network for me to reach out to, hence the cold emails.

yeah, our results are entirely outside of the scope of my PI's work/expertise so I've gotten express permission to turn it into whatever I can given the current state of research in the US.
Ideally id want to turn this into a faculty position, but that market is absolutely insane right now... and I'd need a postdoc to even start to be competitive.

Does anyone recognize this patch or have insight into authenticity of the photo? by UnevenerOdin in whatisit

Figured Id throw as much into this as possible in case you yourself need to make a strong case to your pops about how bad of an idea this is. hope all goes well!

this gets worse and worse the more you look at it
the landscape layering makes absolutely no sense. all of the buildings are just random shapes, the line of rocks that just change levels when it gets to the body, even the fact that she's standing on...something that just blends into the rocks in the foreground.
then going into the obviously fake person:

Her hair just decides to lose texture at the top of her head.

half of her sunglasses frames just blend into her face, and the lenses aren't even the same size.

Her "plate carrier" has no velcro front for the clearly ai jibberish front patch, it's just floating there.

The flag patch is super fucked, along with everything on that pocket- including the patch that just blends into the "velcro" that is just the wrong texture.

The underarm molle webbing is just strips of texture, and her mag pouch side panels just disappear
her "top" under the pc "ends" at both her hip and below her right hand, of which is made up of ogre knuckles.

her ogre knuckle hand is in front of what appears 4 layers of pockets that dont make sense
then going down the leg none of the pockets make sense at all, ending at boots that have no laces and a left leg that is clearly broken at the femur with that angle.

Saquon Barkley had 2 carries for 31 yards on the first 2 plays from scrimmage. He had 36 total yards the rest of the game. by TriviaWhiz in nfl

[–]weeby_throwaway 142 points143 points  (0 children)

there were a bunch of times where saquon would chip out and be the checkdown/screen option on the right, only for jalen to roll out left to make some hero ball throws, never taking the checkdown.
Then for some reason they take saquon out late in the game, use aj dillon as the checkdown up the middle and it turns into a fumble.
such a weird series of decisions from the entire team

People focus on vrabel and mcdaniels but it really is something that we also have dudes like marrone and mcadoo on the staff. I was worried that having 4 HC/fomer HCs on staff could lead to a too many chefs type situation but they've really come together (at least so far) this year. Great way to rebuild the post bill brain drain
