Mental hell
  • Fair enough, in that case it definitely wouldn't be worth it. And yeah the independence and cool project aspects of the PhD are appealing, but it really does suck ass and ruin you mentally for a long period of time until you finally achieve your goal (failing is also a possibility)

    After a night of running at full blast, I woke up and poured out a whopping 10 mL of water from the basin

  • Responsible guidance is a choice
  • Agreed. When I'm cooking with bacon I'll save the grease and use it if that singular meal requires any additional pan frying, otherwise I toss it cause I don't need to be ingesting all that grease on the regular
