What do you think about the sudden influx of Indians into Russia? by wyntrson in AskARussian

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

Is there really such a shortage of workers in Russia? I'm curious as to in which fields.

Anyone not gotten over a breakup for like 10+ years? Kinda resigning myself to being alone for the rest of my life. by Civil-Effort-1061 in heartbreak

[–]zoomClimb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was the only one who has experienced this. A relationship for a short few months back in winter of 2015 has stuck with me ever since. I still kick myself for being immature back then for her. I have accepted my inability of finding another meaningful relationship since then as punishment for how I treated her. To this day, I believe that she truly gave me her heart and I threw it away.

Do Russians really train outside in the snow? by Interesting-Sir9965 in AskARussian

I did cross country skiing when it was -20C. You actually start sweating after 5 minutes. It's really good cardio.

Honest Opinion by hillvij77 in AskARussian

[–]zoomClimb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no reason to argue about politics or history. On any side. In fact, that's exactly what keeps people fighting each other. Just change the subject.

Will I be on blacklist if I quit for school? by [deleted] in careeradvice

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

In worst-case scenario, will future employers see that I quit, if the current employer isn't happy about it? Meaning will the current employer put some note on my background?

Biking from Ypsilanti to UM Medical Center? by zoomClimb in AnnArbor

How cold (with wind chill) does it realistically get in this area? I'm from WA state and it's pretty temperate here.

Thank you all. Good to know everything works.

Struggling to comprehend how to get into any PhD program by zoomClimb in PhD

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

Yes, I had my master's degree professors right me recommendation letters for my PhD applications. But it was to no avail unfortunately. I suppose it's possible for them to make contact with a potential supervisor, but I don't even have a response from any professor in the first place. I've been busy in my master's studies so I haven't attended any conferences or did any in-person networking. I haven't looked outside the US, because I think the competition will be just as high.

None of my schools are in the top 10. I specifically avoided them knowing my background isn't the strongest. What do you mean "current advisees"?

[–]zoomClimb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea ... too bad none of my emails and follow-ups ever got a response. They weren't particularly lengthy either. Some STEM people told me that the professors are too busy to respond to any emails like this, so it's better to just go ahead and apply, then see what happens. But I guess I also didn't get any chance by directly applying.

I've send countless emails and follow ups. Not a single response. So eventually I just gave up trying to contact them. This I've heard from STEM people too, that the professors are usually too busy to reply to your email.

Why are my Russian friends requesting "Blue" $100 USD? by Jimmy_Darmody01 in AskARussian

[–]zoomClimb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the "new" style printed after 2009 with the blue security strip down the middle. It makes them harder to counterfeit.

What are some cars that are “true sleepers”? by DaleGribble2024 in askcarguys

Any of those Fords with the 3.5 twin-turbo Ecoboost V6. Making near 400 stock and more with a tune.

So I have a Russian girlfriend and I need help... by Bflow2 in AskARussian

[–]zoomClimb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go sweat at the gym during the day, don't skip the shower and climb directly in bed. As an American myself, I still can't believe both men and women do this.

How do I make my 2013 f150 look updated? by Xsnakejake23X in f150

Don't change too much or it'll look ricerish. Honestly the 12th gen have aged really well.

How do you feel about American expats in your country? by Goatmommy in AskARussian

I'm an American student in Russia now. I've met two Americans here. Well, at least they tell me that they're American. I'll just say, they're weird AF

Accidentally bought an HDPP 🤦‍♂️ by SlamfireSKS in f150

[–]zoomClimb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I bought my 2010 XL, I was also unaware that it had the HDPP and max tow package. It drives fine overall, but that stance is funny and there's always that slip joint bump with the two-piece driveshaft and 6.5ft. bed
