I wish I knew this when I was starting out:
- write grant proposals instead of articles
- use the winning grants to support grad students
- get the grad students to do the research and writing which motivate new grant proposals
- keep writing grant proposals until the entire world is either your grad students, or people funding your research

Most countries have some kind of “disaster preparedness” suggestions, be they for earthquakes, floods, tornados, WMDs, etc. A lot of these suggestions overlap: have a stock of food, know where important documents are, think about where you’d shelter, etc.
There will probably not be an extinction-level event. But at some point in your life you may experience an emergency where you need a stock of food, to know where your documents are, to have a place to shelter, etc. So maybe it’d help you out to make plans for what you’d do in case of a general emergency/disaster.
Here are a couple useful documents that were made in the US:

This reminds me of when I was a kid growing up (in developing nations), and people would show up from the US demanding all the same services that they had back home.

Was gonna say this. Some jobs will help pay for classes (max 1 at a time) and some will even let you take the classes “on company time.” With Distance Education this is easier than ever. I took classes while working for a couple years, then was gonna take a semester off work and finish a Master’s Degree. (but ended up doing a PhD instead.)

Traditional German food is supposed to make you sated so you can go back to the fields and work! And the go to the army and fight! And then go to the ruins and rebuild!
This is frickin awesome. Ima tell this to my German-American relative. They come from a family of farmers, come to think of it.

It all makes sense now… You leave snacks out so when the Santa-maggots hatch in the darkness of their chimneys, they can crawl out and be fed. Also why lil kids must never wait and watch, lest the kids themselves be eaten.

On October 11, 1991, during a break from rehearsals for The Royal Family, [Redd] Foxx suffered a heart attack on the set.
…
Foxx did his scripted part of the scene (walking across the back of a chair) while being livid, then immediately fell to the floor. Reese said that nobody initially suspected that anything was wrong, as Foxx was famous for Fred Sanford’s fake heart attacks on Sanford and Son and was particularly skilled at pratfalls. When he did not immediately rise, Reese went to the floor[38] and heard him say “get my wife” twice.[39] Reese called for paramedics.[39] According to Joshua Rich at Entertainment Weekly: “It was an end so ironic that for a brief moment castmates figured Foxx–whose 1970s TV character often faked coronaries–was kidding when he grabbed a chair and fell to the floor."[40] - Comment on Authentism 2 months ago:

I think all piefed instances rely on cloudflare, tho the recent downtime made em start thinking of how to do otherwise. I keep my old lemmy accounts around in case I need them. e.g. lemmy on slrpnk.net worked OK bc they don’t use cloudflare.
