I'm playing video games all day instead of getting a job because I'm done supporting fascism, you jackbooted fuck. I legitimately view wasting your investment in me as an engineer as the best use of my time that I have the energy and emotional capacity for right now. Not being able to move to another country won't stop me from being part of the brain drain.
Those abs need a marble statue, not a shirt
I'm one of them, haha. My archives are nice and organized, but anything related to a current project I'm working on either lives on the desktop or lives at ~, depending on which machine I'm using. Automated output type files go into a structure (like any kind of processed or cleaned data), but figures? References? Drafts? FFA on the desktop. For whatever reason I just cannot function with an organized workspace
Seriously, why would anybody bother putting their papers in a folder when the desktop is just right there?
TIL that Dolly Parton entered in and lost a Dolly Parton lookalike contest at some drag bar in LA in 2012
I can only claim partial credit for this one, but it holds a lot of meaning for me. Part of an old engineering notebook of mine that has since been repurposed into a sketchbook
Minor disagreement. I'm a straight dude who celebrates gay pride, and that usually comes off as a green flag to women considering sleeping with me
Not sure if this comm was made specifically for the person who made it to post their work or for any post with the same general style. If its the former feel free to remove this post or I can take it down.
These are my unclassified test notes from a radar test event I ran a long time ago, along with 8 hours worth of doodling that happened while the event ran
Health wells cleanse curses on any equipped items. Before you step in a health well, equip unidentified items until you either know everything is uncursed or your slots are full of cursed equipment, then step in the well for up to 5 free curse removals
This ended up being my pacifist ascent badge run too. The beacon teleport almost trivializes that badge
This is my inventory after killing goo. XPD-HJC-HGR if anybody wants to play this amazing seed on a class where +1 strength ring and uncursed greataxe by floor 3 aren't wasted. The mimic tooth was a random trinket choice and I don't know if that is tied to the seed, but everything else is in visible rooms in the first 4 floors
I used to have repeated ingrown problems with one of my big toes. The eventual solution was the doctor chemically burning my nailbed in that toe and now I don't have a toenail there and it doesn't grow back at all
Wait I can get published by reposting math to nutrition journals? I hope the world is ready for the innovative new Guste Carlo method of integration
Meme of two women fighting while a man smokes from a pipe in the background.
The women fighting are labeled "mathematicians defining pi" and "engineers just using 3 because it's within tolerance"
The man smoking is labeled "astrophysicists" and the pipe is labeled "pi = 1"
The Blister Exists, by slipknot. In case the link doesn't work properly. The drum part that starts at ~2:12 is imprinted on my psyche for the rest of my life. I smack my thighs hard enough to bruise air-drumming along to this song
Spirit bow has blooming and speed augment. Spawn grass and burn everything at range with the blazing crossbow buffed darts and sniper's mark ability, artifacts and haste armor ability to get away or run through the fire. This build did monstrous aoe damage, spawning massive blazes nearly every fight
The real star of this run was the parchment scrap. Since the update where energizing potions and scrolls identifies them, it feels very viable to identify all of the extra scrolls and potions from the first 4 floors by energizing them and pumping that into the parchment scrap. 10x enchantment/glyph find and 0x curse find on armor and weapons is a wild effect to have before floor 5. In the posted run I got a lucky weapon early with this strategy which snowballed into RoW drops, making a build that felt very strong starting on floor 4 and continuing for the rest of the game
I'm currently working on a PhD, and I had a meeting that felt like an intervention with my advisor where she encouraged me to take a few months away from the program to take care of myself. For context, I used to work for the airforce, and apparently I picked up some pretty severe mental health problems that have lead to not sleeping and panic attacks when I read papers about military hardware (not ideal when my current interest is hardware side cybersecurity).
What the fuck does "take care of yourself" mean? Like, I don't know what to do with my hands. I've spent my entire life with a fast paced schedule, either with school work or some other crisis I've needed to attend to. Now I'm like... trying to accept going to therapy and I'm doing yoga with some people in my research group a few times a week, but i don't know what to do with my time otherwise. I feel like smoking all of the weed in this state playing video games and rotting in bed isn't the answer, but that's where I'm at. I'd love any advice or to hear from anybody who's been in that position of being told to take a few months off for mental health
