I know that there are things like the boten or the kenten for emphasis similar to italics when writing, but how do Japanese people approach underlining in things like novels/papers where text is written vertically?

So I just finished my first of what is going to be five years in my PhD program. It may be a little early to be even thinking about a job, but I just think having an idea about what I am going to do after this may be a good idea.

I am not exactly sure what jobs I would want after the PhD, but I am quite sure that I do not want to stay in academia. Is there anything that you guys did/are doing to help you in getting a job?

I am getting an applied physics phd and am working on theoretical quantum optics if that helps with anything

Im a pretty new player, and want to join an active guild, and make some friends

Don't both of them mean "Japan", so why are there two ways to write it? Is there a reason to write "nippon" in katakana over kanji/hiragana?

This is a problem I've noticed quite recently, and its where it seems like the frames on my computer screen freeze. I am currently under the assumption that it is a gpu/xorg problem. The problem goes away when I restart, and shows up only after I have my laptop on for a couple hours. The last two times it showed up was when I was playing games (not on wine), but I do not know if that is relevant at all.

The problem does not seem to affect any audio, as videos and streams keep playing audio even when the screen freezes. I am not exactly sure when this problem started.

I used journalctl -b, and below is the portion which I believe is pertinent. Any suggestions?

I was listening to the radio, and someone said that the s&p 500 was great investments wise for people who wanted to get international exposure, but due to the rise of international tensions, blindy investing in an s&p 500 portfolio/etf is not a smart things to do anymore. They recommended looking into emerging markets, and said that markets that flourished in the previous decade won't do as well in the following decade (tech stocks that did well last decade will give way to something else - they said they didn't know what).

How true is this, and should I be worried? Any comments about this?

Right now, I own a couple shares of VOO. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the ETF is a collection of some bunch of underlying assets with different percent allocations. Why can't I just buy the underlying assets and balance my portfolio the same way vanguard has or Sofi has, on the case of spy? Is it just worse to do it by myself, and is there a world in which it might be better?

I am a commuter and I wanted to know how the gym situation is here. My classes end at 3 on tusedays/thursdays, and around 5-6pm on Mondays and fridays. I am planning on going to the gym after class since I'll be on campus anyways, so I wanted to know what it'll be like. Are the gyms big, do they have good equipment, when are they busy, that type of info.

It'd be difficult for me to go early morning or late night since I'd have to make an extra trip to usr

Today is the first day of my physics PhD. As I promised here, today is also my first day in the beautiful world that is GT:NH.

The average length of the PhD program I am enrolled in is about 5.5 years. I've heard GTNH playthroughs can average anywhere between 5000 and 7000 hours. That's about 900 - 1300 hours per year, or anywhere between 2.5 - 3.5 hours of playtime PER DAY if I wanted to finish before I graduate.

The next time I post on this subreddit, it will be when I either:

(a) Beat GTNH

(b) Graduate, or

(c) my computer b
