When I graduated college, I was interviewing with the charter school that my mom works at. They were looking for ANYBODY with a degree in physics. It didn’t matter that I wasn’t a licensed educator, it didn’t matter that all I had was a Bachelor’s degree. They were offering an annual salary of $42,000 per year.

Two years later, I’m making over 4x that amount, annually, as a software engineer.

I really would love to teach, because I love science and I love teaching. But I love financial stability and a good work/life balance wayyy more.

Pilot: Mayday mayday mayday, we’ve had an engine out

Tower: Is it a full or partial engine out?

Pilot: Partially out of the cowling

Get a little portable bidet. They’re not ideal, but it sure beats the awful toilet paper in public bathrooms.

While others grow a beard because we’ve lost everything on top and it’s at least a consolation prize.

To be fair, allowing felons to run for office means that a leader’s political enemies can’t be charged with phony crimes in order to prevent them from running for office. It’s a safeguard against authoritarianism.

I used to think there was no such thing as a stupid question. You have now changed my mind.

Helaman Halls at BYU. A lot of the student housing had fun post-it art or a variety of national flags in the windows, at least as of a few years ago.

Yup.

I work for “medium pharma”. We spend between 1 and 5 dollars per experiment (depending on the cell type). We run close to 2 MILLION experiments every week. We are still years away from any of those experiments yielding a safe compound that can move on to human trials, assuming we don’t run out of money first.

Targeting drugs for rare diseases won’t be profitable until we achieve proper high-throughput experimentation, analysis, and somehow streamline the FDA approval process. The government needs to fund academic research on these diseases, but no university lab can match the kind of experiment production that we’re already doing in industry.

I’ve gained about 30 lbs (14kg) over the last two years. I fell out of the habit when I got my first job out of college, but now that I’m not working remotely I have a better schedule, yet I still have trouble maintaining motivation long enough to make a habit of it.

I love running, but I can’t seem to make myself do it. With winter closing in again I worry that I won’t be able to muster the strength to go run outside again until the spring.

Any tips or inspiration anyone could share would be appreciated.

Howdy neighbor. Things are pretty bad up here in SLC too. I’m just gonna keep renting until it all comes down, or the lake dries up.

I have absolutely no idea what they mean by conservative/progressive movie. I too would like to know, because I’m utterly baffled.

“Liquidation” sounds like it’s just another way to say “sunken”

That money IS going to NASA, and then NASA decided it was a worthwhile investment to work with SpaceX to transport astronauts to the space station, resupply the station, and be an important research partner in autonomous landing systems, full-flow staged combustion engines, and many many more.

The rest of the money is coming from commercial launch customers, government and private customers alike.

Also, fiber internet doesn’t do you any good while you’re in the air or on the sea.
