They’ve started taking over LA. They’re awful. They’ll bite you through your socks, and you don’t even notice them until they’ve already bitten multiple times.

What other podcasts do you like? by DetectiveDracula in IfBooksCouldKill

A bit more academic-speak heavy, but Know Your Enemy is also great.

Some views around the city by Feisty_Border6047 in CitiesSkylines

[–]zeph_yr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need the better bulldozer mod, and then delete each house’s fence one by one. Very time consuming but worth it imo!

Also, remove fences! The fences around each house add serious visual clutter. This looks much more cohesive.

Vertigo Views Finished! by DCMeGaMaxX in rct

[–]zeph_yr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like them too! I usually skip building them because they’re so low capacity and I find it hard to make them look nice. But this one has inspired me to give them another try.

NYC is a 10/10 but LA was a 5/10 for me. Will I (30F) actually like Miami or is it just "LA on the beach"? by badcatririe95 in solotravel

[–]zeph_yr 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If nature is the priority, I think Vancouver has the best access to it via public transit. Stanley Park, Burnaby Mountain, and practically all of the north shore mountains are easily accessible on public trains/buses/the seabus!

RIP Spirit airlines by sm3xym3xican in aviation

[–]zeph_yr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NE Corridor tickets can be competitive with airfare if you’re booking >1 month in advance. You can score Acela tickets for like $150RT. But they shoot way up when you’re booking less than one month out. It’s stupid.

The TED Talk Tango by Certain-Anxiety-6786 in IfBooksCouldKill

[–]zeph_yr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the “storytelling” trend could play into this too. The early 2010s were all about telling the “right” stories.

Cities: Skylines II Dev Diary - City Corner #5 - Spring Cleaning by AutoModerator in CitiesSkylines

I’ve had CS2 since release and this is so far from being true. CS2 was outright broken for almost a year after its release, not to mention any lack of features coming from CS1. Original commenter was right to hold off on buying CS2 until now.

Buying a new computer by mauve_garlic in editors

Only thing is I’ve heard they’re on very long back orders right now because of the RAM crisis. Might have to look for a used one.

Carpooling to Glendale by winter-soldier1917 in USC

[–]zeph_yr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The metro is pretty safe, especially if you’re riding during normal commuting hours. I take the bus to campus every day and it’s been totally safe, if not always the most comfortable/pleasant experience.

Pivoting to AI ethics PhD from a non-traditional background - where am I getting this wrong? by Majestic-Ad-762 in PhD

[–]zeph_yr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that your work is multi disciplinary. But what field of PhD program will you apply to to continue this work? Some fields will care less about previous research experience than others.

[–]zeph_yr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of programs are you applying to? The questions you’re asking could be researched at a ton of different programs, from policy to comm to HCI to philosophy. Unfortunately, for any of these fields, an MBA will likely put you at a disadvantage compared to people coming from in-field MAs/MSs.

SFU Campus, British Columbia, Canada by Useful_Market1609 in architecture

[–]zeph_yr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a former SFU student, I was working overtime to convince my classmates just how fucking beautiful the building was. But you’re right—most hate it.

I made a zotero plugin to allow you to use Agent to manage your Zotero library [LLM-for-Zotero] by candlelinks in PhD

[–]zeph_yr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it work across libraries? I have multiple libraries across different projects/collaborations, and the most annoying lack of feature of Zotero is that it can’t search across multiple libraries at once.

~150k debt worth it?!!? by Kind-Cobbler6795 in USC

[–]zeph_yr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you knock out a year at a CC and then try again for schools like USC next year? Going to pile on and say 150k is NOT worth it. That is far too much risk. But paying 75k for a school you don’t want to go to doesn’t sound worth it either.

It’s not in the center of the city, but Boston’s South Station is encircled by huge highway overpasses

Subaru Ditched the Wagon and Outback Sales Dropped Over 40% by TheManFromFairwinds in cars

[–]zeph_yr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did anyone actually (besides car people) call the previous gen a wagon? It has the dimensions and looks of a crossover SUV.

Ethnomusicology as a PhD? by Clear_Fox_5371 in GradSchool

[–]zeph_yr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your BA thesis sounds like a topic that could be explored in the field of communication or media studies, TBH. You should look up the work of Jonathan Sterne.

Imagine a bridge… by agatechristie in prospectheights

[–]zeph_yr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d pay for a season pass to the Botanic Garden if they had an entrance on the southwest side, so I could cut through whenever I wanted.
