happened to me when i handed in my dissertation. spent years writing it, sent it to the printer, checked the proofs, sent it off to the uni’s library for storing it (or whatever they do), checked it out later to show it off to my girlfriend: second paragraph, first word, right in the introduction, typo. fml

5·20 days agodaedalic Made some nice point and click games, loved deponia. they are German but now belong to French NACON.
9·3 months agowell there’s prairie madness
that may well be: if you got time try searching for a guy called Clemens Wilmenrod, he was the first German TV cook in the fifties, showing stuff like toast Hawaii and almond filled strawberries. bizarre (would have loved to provide some links, but i couldn’t find the one i was looking for, although I’m reasonably sure it actually exists)
don’t know about the bananas being raw and the “hollandaise”. but in DACH there is something called Schinkenbananen, ham-wrapped bananas fried in a pan, usually with some curried rice. sweet and caramelized and some salt and smoke from the ham. my mom used to prepare it when we were kids. we loved it
16·4 months agobought a range from small to large some time last year. lightweight and sturdy, and quite beautiful if you like the bistro style. would buy again
11·5 months agoreally interesting article. thanks a lot for sharing
look for gastronorm container. cheap, sturdy, stackable, a life changer if you need to prepare lots of veggies
proper archiving is surprisingly difficult, esp the time capsule idea. maybe this gets you started
well the book has been (rightfully, imo) criticized for including many unreliable findings, esp. in the psychology section. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinking,_Fast_and_Slow
9·8 months agodon’t know about arxiv in particular, but latex based documents readily give you that style. https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/tagged/arxiv
I’d check which uni/department works in your field/works on something similar to you, and contact them. you might get a prof to have a student do a bachelor or master’s thesis on your topic, or even have a doctoral student do a study.
or maybe some citizen science projects?
hello wildcats
well yeah, but there is money in knowing what to avoid. in academia it’s more like “why can’t i reproduce this effect i read about in this fancy paper, am i stupid or what”, when maybe, they just got lucky, or had plenty of very reasonable analysis options to choose from, or simply fudged the numbers. i fear that in much of academia there is a huge incentive to publish at whatever cost
started learning French during the pandemic, first with some app but then switched to an 1-1 online course, one hour every week, and stayed with it. right now I’m somewhere at B1 level which might but be much, but suffices for reading (technical) books, newspapers, and everyday communication. i try to listen to a lot of French music (with lyrics on, to help me get into the rhythm if the language and maybe learn some new lingo), watch movies (Love Star Trek), listen to the radio, bla blub.
the things is to find something you care about in the other language/culture. then, learning the language will give you access to something which is already important to you and keeping up with your learning becomes more easy. my2c
