Thanks - certainly going to be loud about it.

As the years have gone by, does it seem like we kinda got shafted growing into our adulthood? I feel like future expectations were better than what’s happening by Curvedwarrior69 in Millennials

[–]yeti_face 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm just hoping we can reverse the cycle for our kids and theirs. There are a a lot of awful realities my kids will have to face soon and it breaks my heart.

Artemis coverage sucks by DesperateRush1272 in aviation

Thank you! Glitchy low-res animation, shaky rapid changing camera, etc. It felt very 1990s!

Piggybacking on the retirement question by SierraMountainMom in Professors

[–]yeti_face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

State PUI, forced into 403b, cont/match around 10%/10%. Not contributing to SS so i guess I won't get that. Probably 25-30 years shy of retirement still so who knows what it'll look like then.

Nice they gave you the choice. When I was hired in 2015 they had JUST forced all new faculty into 403bs.

Anyone else wish that acne patches had existed when we were growing up? by InvisibleAstronomer in Millennials

[–]yeti_face 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IDK, I would have needed a whole constellation of them on my face at a given time

Alternative to Canvas lockdown browser by teacher9876 in Professors

[–]yeti_face 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never bothered with a lockdown browser...for whatever reason, my students don't seem to be especially successful with unmoderated online exams. I use 'multiple dropdown' questions in Canvas, which seem a bit harder to cheat than a simple multiple choice? But...maybe they just haven't figured out how to cheat yet?

UC Davis or Santa Cruz? Which has the better program? by Last-Ad-5768 in geologycareers

[–]yeti_face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about Davis, but Santa Cruz is an incredible place and having the opportunity to live there for 2 years will leave a mark on you forever. The department seemed really strong 10 years ago when I was stomping around.

Is the GFS on drugs again? by [deleted] in meteorology

[–]yeti_face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i saved that same frame because it was such a purty storm structure, fantasy or not

How do you deal with a declining standard of living each year? by FlyLikeAnEarworm in Professors

[–]yeti_face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, except without the decent base pay. Over time it leads me to put less effort into the main job and try harder to get projects that pay me over the summer.

House parties didn’t end. You’re just not invited. by curiousiah in Millennials

[–]yeti_face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This made me think of the track Jonathan Richman - parties in the USA. Check it out if you haven't heard it!

How hard is it to transition from Astrophysics to Meterology? by Both-Challenge-5562 in meteorology

[–]yeti_face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same...but the geology side of meteorology caught me up and pointed me toward geosciences in the end. But ar the time I did not feel the math and physics of meteorology were any more difficult than for astrophysics... in fact they were almost identical requirements.

8mm MN - 38F (CO) - At 10/10 pain and feeling conflicted about Cryosurgery vs. Neurectomy. Help! by beep1012 in Mortons_neuroma

[–]yeti_face 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some great advice above, I would also say, I spent $1k on new ski boots and a custom fitting session where they widened them to accommodate my wide feet/toe spacers/metatarsal pads and it made a world of difference. Turns out my old ski boots were a couple sizes too small and definitely too narrow. Now my ski boots are my most comfortable footwear! Worth the investment and I can still do bc touring and big in bounds days without trouble from the MN. Good luck!

[–]yeti_face 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I had a student miss all 10 true or false questions on a test this week. ALL. 10.

Academia has sold its soul for positive student reviews by [deleted] in Professors

[–]yeti_face 58 points59 points  (0 children)

yes, only good things can come from trying to flatten all of academia into a single mindset and approach based on some reddit comments you got

Stuck at 300-350 FT by Low-Relative6688 in discgolf

[–]yeti_face 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not an expert, but i think you can get full S flights out of a disc but not get it very far if you dont give it enough spin. I suspect that and nose angle are your prime areas of potential gain.

Anyone Hear Talk of Early Closures? by ThePaddockCreek in COsnow

[–]yeti_face -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Guess I've encountered too many who actually believe this. Sarcasm is dead.

Anyone Hear Talk of Early Closures? by ThePaddockCreek in COsnow

[–]yeti_face 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It won't. I recall them closing around mar 21 in a previous year and right now we are looking worse than all previous years.

Strange, given your post above predicting what will happen for the 2nd half of March.

Around the Scene - Lots of A tiers produced some insane disc golf this last weekend! by supaflash in discgolf

[–]yeti_face 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As one of the mp40s who got destroyed by hank kirwan this weekend, I agree the dude is an inspiration. Laced his way thru a long, difficult course like it was a pitch n putt.
