The oval table looks like a gamepad

It was a major motivation for me at the time, but mostly in the sense of forcing me to radically change my diet

Check out poor Lot whose evil daughters plot to get him drunk so they can rape him. The poor old man, I’m sure there was no redaction going on in post production.

Hm, I guess that would be the size difference we can see on the photo? I was referring to the moon illusion effect.

Are you an academic? These job types are attempts by administration to precarize academic work.

Adjunct is a last resort option, you can still stay in the system but have very little prospect of ever getting a permanent job. It signals to others that the uni doesn’t really want you but takes your labour if you work hard and cheap enough, so it’s harder to apply elsewhere. Some universities try to pivot into this, so that most of their staff loses negotiation power and is easy to get rid of and replace.

Visiting is code for limited contract or unpaid locally with funding from somewhere else. The university doesn’t complain if they get free labour with no strings attached, but it’s not like the majority of people do this out of choice. Sure, if you’re full prof somewhere, your can also visit your bro in a nice city for a semester, but that’s the exception.

How large would the sun look to the human eye though? It’s tiny on photos, usually appears much bigger

Given that they set up a new repo from scratch, this is a missed chance to just migrate to codeberg

No matter my diet, I’m not so sure I’d survive that either. Anyone who’s been up there and found it easy can have a laugh though

Shit, now I’m stuck in this forum with insane but who knows maybe true theories. What’s next? Earth turns out to be flat after all?

No, it’s a picture that represents a tree

working in addition to teaching

As a teacher this made me chuckle

Edit: I guess what I’m trying to say is: teaching is easily the hardest part. Noone in academia except for some masochists want to teach more than the bare minimum. Everyone wants to do the “work in addition”.

Job negotiations revolve around how much of your life you have to spend in the classroom and how much you can do your other work. The other work can be academic research or industry collaborations or consulting, but that just depends on individual preferences. I prefer the academic option because I can do whatever I want, others prefer industry because it can pay better

Is it healthy? No.

But does it taste good? Also no.

It’s a classic

We’re just having a totally sincere intellectual deliberation here about the Tongue of Theseus conundrum

Am I the twin of myself 7 years ago?

The cell next to the cell that touched ass touches the cell that touched ass. So indirectly it also touched ass. Once the cell that touched ass gets regenerated, it touches the cell that touched the cell that touched ass.

There is no escape.
