Can also try the NSF Public Access Repository for papers that include authors from the US.

I used to love to bike but I moved to an area with steep hills and it’s too high effort. Wish they would install those hill lifts some countries have. I walk now. Would love an electric but the expense makes it much more painful when it’s stolen (and every one of my regular bikes has eventually been stolen).
- Comment on Former N.F.L. Player Is Arrested After Protest Over MAGA Plaque | Chris Kluwe, a former punter for the Vikings, was arrested after speaking at a City Council meeting in Huntington Beach, Calif. 1 week ago:
The proposed plaque continued with a more explicit reference: “Through hope and change our nation has built back better to the golden era of Making America Great Again!”
Jesus christ I wonder how many suggestions they got for the wording

Politicians are like cops, border control, and prison guards: anyone with a conscious already quit.

But you DON’T need to know how to save something as a pdf or find your downloads folder. In fact, if you can do either of those things they can’t allow you on the leadership team. It’s a tough line to walk.

Right and the scientists leave for places that are happy for the bump.
Also if trump tanks the US dollar IMF loans will become cheap to pay back so large borrowers will see a nice bump plus be allowed to make more independent decisions.

We had blackberry vines in the backyard when I was little along a fence bordering with a neighbor (I think they originally started on their side of the fence) and I cried when they cut them down. They were so delicious!

If you haven’t bailed from the platform completely you certainly shouldn’t join the facebook group “ask for pds from people with institutional access” either
- Comment on Anon picks up some food for his family 1 month ago:
Yeah mcdonalds fries need to be piping hot and fresh straight from the fryer. Reheating in the air-fryer even right after delivery changes the flavor (though you can get them back to ideal texture which is still a big improvement).

It’s because you pulled me over my guy
- Comment on Anon gets rid of crackheads 1 month ago:
I lived in a run down part of town a few houses down from a crack/coke distributor in college and once a friend locked himself out of the car. Before we could even panic someone popped out with a hanger and opened it in like 30 seconds. Crisis averted!
Also got pulled over on my own street regularly though (“you looked nervous”) and my dad almost got arrested when he was dropping off plants (cacti and flowers).

This, a model is a human tool and it’s as useful as it is useful.
- Comment on Anon goes on holiday 1 month ago:
In my opinion you should still go. There’s really not another part of the country like it and the park is humongous— just expect it to be somewhat crowded at the more popular sites like old faithful. Just talk to a park ranger and ask for rewarding hikes that are less traveled. Yosemite is the same way. Obviously try not visit during a popular vacation date if possible. Leave no trace and don’t approach a buffalo!

Yeah that would be bad practice, industry standard is to run all the tests simultaneously and if something comes out statistically significant make up a narrative then try to split it into 4 papers.

Yeah I feel like twitter in specific started (or maybe just accelerated) a trend towards moral absolutism in online spaces.
It’s always enjoyable to watch people who spend a lot of time in online echo chambers trying to use the same energy irl.

- Comment on Anon wants a cute girlfriend. 4 months ago:
3 of the couples I had in mind when I mentioned traditional dating sites used Match.com (between 2015 and 2022 in their mid 20s to mid 30s) and 1 couple each around the same time period/age demographic on specific religion dating sites (catholic chemistry and christian mingle)
- Comment on Anon wants a cute girlfriend. 4 months ago:
I don’t think Anon is considering the set of all possible cute girlfriends or lending them enough agency. I think it’s someone reasonable if you’re app dating to assume that people are doing some amount of maximizing cute + interesting or something similar but I think that’s because the apps encourage people to gamify dating and things that are competitive are a game.
Anecdotally I’ve seen a ton of…erm…normatively mismatched couples form and find success in other contexts like dive bars, pick up soccer, chatrooms, kink communities, boardgame cafes, more traditional dating sites etc. Again anecdotally these relationships seem to skew (normatively) in the guy’s favor more often than the gal’s as far as looks and personality go despite the fact that complaints like this come more often from men.

Academia only really rewards novelty, but the scientific method is supposed to be a slow slog towards the truth with lots of redundancy and endless cycles of minor tweaks that in turn force you to tweak theories that connect so that our picture of the world maintains its internal coherence

As someone who consumes a lot of ancient history, it can also make you like “Ah yes, another city rises, another is displaced by climate disaster, and another falls due to land mismanagement. ‘Tis the way of things.”
- Comment on Self-reflection 5 months ago:
I have a friend who turned in such a good paper during grad school that the professor thought it was plagiarized (no turnitin or anything) and gave him a 0. After meeting with the teacher and straightening it out I would have felt pretty good about myself.
