Fianceé's dad is a Senior Level Employee and he was told he'd be safe for at least the first 2 rounds of layoffs, but they couldn't guarantee he'd survive round 3. Expect two more cullings and for them to get increasing severe: if a ~20 year Boeing vet, 40 year industry vet, working the worst hours with the worst people isn't safe, nobody except the executives are (he is forced to comply with another country's work hours halfway across the world AND be present in the office for normal working hours).

I can't get over how bad the pelican's broadcast audio is. Everything sounds like the broadcasters are sharing a webcam mic. I don't remember pelicans audio sounding like this in the past...

Nuggets truly rounding back into form. Jokic is producing more than ever, but we need to scale back his usage more as the other players each start hitting their marks.

I am a new CA resident, moved here just in time to register and vote. Thank you to CAA & HJTA for dissenting against everything good so that I didn't have to know anything (I actually spent 2 hours researching the ballots and candidates to make sure of the right choices, but it was nice to use that as a sanity check.)

Prop 34 was truly insidious in how it was written, I spent half the time filling my ballot trying to figure out why a bunch of shitty groups were supporting a boring, procedural sounding prop about federally funded prescription revenue spending.

North of the Border

His name is Adam and he likes to make tiny nerdy things. He makes dioramas of nerdy stuff, sometimes normal, some times with too many teeth, fingers, and/or toes.

Wish the Nuggets would do the Mountain or city skyline, kinda boring court as is.

My school gave up on printing/binding theses, so they also gave up on thesis formatting requirements. As long as your advisor approved the thesis and the title page had all the relevant info, it could be formatted however you wanted.

After finishing my dissertation, I spent maybe 20 minutes emailing the library staff about dissertation edits (date format/placement on title page mainly) and otherwise was told any other requested changes were optional so long as my advisor signed off. I have to get my dissertation printed and bound myself, but that is a small price to pay compared to the nightmare that is univeristy thesis format compliance.

Lol, no, but I'd be damned if I put my actual name out on the internet. Dr. Drail is my profesional anonymous title.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago (4 children)

As a newly minted doctor, I prefer Dr. Drail because of the work I put in. I have seen three common name/title presentations though:

Dr. Drail

Dr. Drail, Ph.D.

Mr. Drail, Ph.D.

The last one obviously preserves a gendered title if desired. I tend to include my pronouns where applicable, as it makes clear my gender identity while allowing me to use the least cumbersome combo (Dr. Drail) without confusion. I haven't ever met someone who double stacks their honorifics (ie Dr. Mr. Drail), but if you want to make clear your gender, there aren't any rules against it, and it is common in some non-english speaking cultures.

Ultimately, it is your title, your honorific, so you get to decide how to present it. I prefer to just go by my name 90% of the time, but while applying for jobs or introducing myself in a profesional capacity, Dr. Drail (he/him/his) is a really easy way to get all the info across succinctly.

What state are you in, if you don't mind me asking? I just moved from Dallas to Los Angeles and there are Wincos in both, just kind of out of the way.

If one is in your area, Winco is your friend then. 24hr grocery shopping. They are also worker owned and have a great bulk goods selection, so they are a better food shopping experience at roughly the same price point.
