I agree, and it isn't just phones It's movies, books, hobbies, plays, etc. Yes, even the good ones, even your David Lynch or your copy of Critique of Pure Reason It isn't, as some people imagine, pure dopamine machines shovel

> When you commit becoming a postdoc, you know how the game is played, you have a good network I wouldn't agree to those. I was perhaps overly supported during my PhD, not preparing me for the reality of being abandoned/expecte

10-15% is not hugely far from 1/3 ;)

Well it’s not necessarily a good thing. In Europe we are traditionalists and we retain a lot of spirit (Geist) by not striving for pure progress

Also even the safe job wage in the UK is perhaps only 2/3 of in Germany for example

Why would something being an element mean that heating it as part of a food wouldn’t act as a catalyst for some chemical interaction?

The real question is why did you feel the need to be so extreme? Why couldn't you just do a little digital rather than fully? I don't understand this all or nothing stuff. Live moderately

I’ve had langar before. They used to do it at my university in England. It’s a pretty good meal

It is a part of all organisations, but usually spread across multiple people. As I mentioned, my wife is a mechanical engineer. "All" she needs to do is do her work, and her manager will be happy. Going out and selling to customer

Yeah that’s the thing. Not only do you have to beg for money but actually you make fake papers to do so. My supervisor taught me this early on, every single tiny discovery or synthesis can be made into a paper even if it really doesn’t warr
