PhD stipends have never allowed for house buying in my time period at least. All the same people compete for it.

somethingp,

Yeah but there used to be hope for affording a house after you finished and got into a tenure track position. But now there are barely any tenure track positions and even those don’t always pay enough for a house

Fun fact, China literally advertise its red theme as “blood of passed heros”. So communism do get its red from blood.

Google translated source (from an official .gov.cn site): www-mod-gov-cn.translate.goog/…/4851751.html?_x_t…

Quote in Chinese:

为什么说共和国是红色的?对于这个问题,每个人都可能问了数百遍,老师和家长们也早已给出了答案:那是因为共和国是用英烈的鲜血换来的,共和国的血脉里有英烈们的红色基因、红色传统。

Google tranlate:

Why is the Republic said to be red? Everyone may have asked this question hundreds of times, and teachers and parents have already given the answer: That is because the Republic was bought with the blood of heroes, and the blood of the Republic contains the red genes and red blood of the heroes. Tradition.

“If you need student loans while in a PhD program, you’re doing something wrong.” ~My grad advisor.

We all needed to take out additional loans, OR some people group-homed it… in a shack their parents pitched in for.

Haha, I will never own a house.

FinalRemix,

I’m a professor, soon to have tenure (fingers crossed), and can’t afford to keep my family home if it’s given to me outright. Meanwhile, our admin refuse to acknowledge a COLA assessment. Wheeee

Well now I need a tool that makes graphs like this. I think I smell a winter break project coming up

MNByChoice,

Please do. I really like this chart and expect a lot more coming soon.

And no, I don’t expect to get any actual data from the chart at all.

For some reason I always read hemoglobin as hemo-goblin. I watched Lord of the Rings too much.

NakariLexfortaine,

There’s also Hemo-Goblin, the vampire who was created by a white supremacist group for ethnic cleansing in South Africa from The New Guardians.

There’s a reason the best remembered part of that series is Snowflame. He just did copius amounts of cocaine. Hemo-Goblin gave two characters AIDs.

I_am_10_squirrels,

I would watch a spinoff about Homo-goblin

I never really understood these graphs, even with the best of my ability. I just think it's an excuse for people to make vaginal references.

jadero,

This is my first exposure to a plain text Venn diagram. Genius.

The fact that its accurate makes it even worse…

I feel seen :D

It’s a fun way to do some free virtual tourism. Especially if it’s well travelled places with plenty of user content. Plus, you get to be as nosy as you want, without making people uncomfortable.

I love looking at odd architecture for example, but not everyone would appreciate me walking around their building and peering intently through the windows.

I used to process aerial imagery and it was so good for this reason. It was like playing Geoguesser as a job.

FinishingDutch,
@FinishingDutch@lemmy.world avatar

That sounds like an awesome job. As someone who loves aviation, photography and maps, I’d probably really enjoy that. How’d you get into that field if you don’t mind me asking?

I minored in GIS and needed to feed myself before going to grad school haha. Saw the advert while on Indeed. It was an underpaid production job with in house tools so they took anyone that could use a pc. Very chill though, so I didn’t mind the lower wages. A lot of that sort of thing is outsourced now.

CADmonkey,

My wife and I used to take care of her grandmother. I had a simple VR headset and I would show her parts of cities she hadn’t been to in street view.

Nostalgia is an incredibly powerful thing. Especially when it comes to elderly and/or people with dementia.

I’ve done a fair few VR demonstrations with my Quest headsets. Google Streetview-like apps are always a big hit with everyone. It’s a great way to revisit places from the past with a good sense of presence. And of course to see a place you’ve always wanted to go.

It does seem nice but I hear the association fees there are insane.

Bro wtf where does the river come from? I tried following it upstream on gmaps but it just stops in the middle of some field. Not even a mountain or something

Agent641,

It goes… underground!

pewgar_seemsimandroid, to science_memes in Slap a "quantum" on it = Instant flux capacitor

all i know about quantum physics is that its what killes black dwarfs

Wilzax, to science_memes in Slap a "quantum" on it = Instant flux capacitor

Consciousness has nothing to do with the “observations” in quantum mechanics. The wave function collapses when we entangle ourselves with the outcome. Whether or not we actually record those “observations” is irrelevant.

niktemadur,

The term they should have used from the get-go is “measurement” instead of “observation”. Humans will always tack on mystical mumbo jumbo if given a chance, muddying up the waters for us laymen trying to learn, and “measurement” sounds much more neutral to me.
