Asking for me. Haven't connected on a postdoc (federal funding disappeared on one I was most closely pursuing). Teaching positions I applied to had cancelled searches. Backup plan was to transition into data science (strong quantitative skillset). Backup backup plan was a federal research job.

Unfortunately, rent is still due, and I only have a few months of phd savings that can cover that. Every career services meeting I've had or panel I've watched through my university says to expect a ~9 month timeline. I'm trying not to get stuck in the thought of how scared I am of becoming homeless in the coming months.

Alternative question, what's the strategy these days for getting part-time work

Which characters, if any, do you think will survive Andor despite not showing up again in future Star Wars material?

• One theory I saw on this sub that I like even though I don't think it's likely is that Dedra >!survives the events of Andor but her reward is getting stationed on the Death Star for her next position!<
• I could also see them never returning to B2, with the implication being that he continued to live on happily with those kids

Otherwise, the list of characters that are presumed dead at least by Rogue One (meaning they will likely die in the next 6 episodes) is quite long:

• !Luthen!<

• !Dedra!<

• !Syril!<

• !Bix!<

• !Vel!<

• !Partagaz!<

• !Kleya!<

• !Perrin!<

• !

Inspired by a comment in another thread, I wanted to a give a shot at ranking the Top 5 female and male currently active distance runners in the US. For the sake of constraints, I'm considering "distance" here to be anything from 1500 up to Marathon. By "active", I'm going to consider current fitness or recent results from the last few years. Factors I am weighing are consistency at the top of the sport, competitive finishes, and overall fastest times.

Female

#1: Elle St. Pierre - 2x Olympian in the 1500, American record holder in the 3000, has held the Trials record for both the 1500 and 5000

#2: Alicia Monson - American record holder in the 5000 and 10000, Olympian in the 10000 (T

• (top left) Average pace per mile for all running in a given month. Numbers along x-axis correspond to month (e.g., 1 = January, 8 = August). Polynomials were fit to data in Excel with increasing order number until it didn't seem to change the trend.
• (top right) Average pace per mile for a given month against the average temperature (Celsius) of all days that I ran that month (not weighted by run length). Winter involves lots of treadmill running, which I estimated at ~18 C for the gym temperature. Same approach for fitting trend line.

My partner and I will soon have 1 year remote appointments for our work, and we are depressed from the cold and winter (currently in New England but have lived also in the Midwest). Our eyes are set primarily on the west coast because of friends/family (so, pretty much SoCal) but open to other suggestions too. Ideally, we are looking for somewhere warm near the ocean (e.g. beach town/city) where we could rent a 1bed1bath for ~$3,000/month, give or take. We have a car, so walkable is always nice but not necessarily a limitation. I'm not really concerned about costs outside of renting - we live a fairly frugal life, enjoy cooking, hiking, camping, walking, etc. Some places outside of SoCal we

Spoilers: Discussion may include results from Chicago this morning.

It really feels like we are in some kind of modern magical era for distance running. World Records are going down across the board. We are seeing dozens of athletes run times that seemed impossible 20-30 years ago. That got me wondering how folks on AR are experiencing the different feats being accomplished right now. Plus, I haven't seen a discussion like this in quite some time on here, and there's been a lot of impressive races lately!

1. Of all the distance runners currently active, who would you say is the most "dominant" present day?

2. Whether or not they are "dominant" at their distance, who is the most exciting t

Can be a city, a state, an entire country, or even one specific restaurant. What are your favorite places that you've been? Where have you gone where you haven't had to think about being vegan very often because the culture is already very accommodating? Or maybe the flip side, where have you been that you thought would be nice but was absolutely terrible?

I'll start: Absolutely hated my time in Germany (went to a few cities, though not Berlin which I've heard is great, and it was nearly impossible to find food). On the flip side, Prague was beautiful and surprisingly easy to get a tasty meal almost everywhere I went.

Wow! What a race. I won't post a spoiler directly here in the title/description, but that was the highlight of this year's World Athletics for me. Definitely give this one a watch.

Keeping details minimum and de-identifiable. Short version is that many years ago I applied (and was accepted) to do a phd with someone whose academic work I enjoy. I turned down the offer without another one in hand because, at the time, there was absolutely no way I would have been able to afford the salary.

Fast forward to several years later, and I am now finishing a phd elsewhere (fortunate to find better funding + col when I applied the following year) and starting to look for postdocs. I would really like to reach out to this faculty member to discuss a project idea, but it feels awkward the way I just kind of declined a position that was available to me without ever giving a proper

The mods have done a great job of creating flairs so that people can have the experience they want with this show (book discussions, show-only viewers, no promos viewers, etc). Most of this season has been surprisingly easy to avoid spoilers compared to other shows I've watched, but over the last week it seems that people have started to get a little sloppy. This only works if we all pay attention to the flairs we are using on each post! The mods only have so much capacity to catch every individual comment in every single thread.

I guess all I'm asking is for everyone to please take the extra 2 seconds to use the flairs correctly - those of us who haven't read the books and have watched som

Team A: Alicent, Daemon, Rhaenys, Helaena, Jace, Baela, Viserys II

Team B: Rhaenyra, Otto, Aemond, Aegon II, Luke, Rhaena, Aegon III

Cole is obviously off his rockers, Larys gets off on doing weird shit to people, Team Green are not exactly who I would call "good people". That said, for all the moral greyness of this show and Westeros in general, what is the ethically correct way to fight back against a foreign family that conquers your people's land and creates a multigenerational monarchical dynasty? I'm especially curious to hear from all the Rhaenyra fans (not the people who just like her because she's entertaining - I totally get that, I have a Team Green flair lmao); specifically the people who support Rhaenyra/Daemon because they genuinely see them as the "less evil" of the bunch competing for power. What would you
