@sinituulia Hilo was demonstrating her blanket technology last night, showing how it can be used for fashion.

because I hate you all, I curse you with the new and terrible knowledge of https://100jumps.org

100 Jumps

Hold to charge, release to jump. Land on 100 platforms to win — but one miss and it's over. How many attempts will it take you?

I really did intend to make this like two thirds this long. Hopefully it shrinks in the wash.

If any PhD students are following your account, boosting would be appreciated.

Fellow PhD student: hello!

I hope you had a good Monday.

0) In which country are you pursuing your PhD?
1) What is the official duration of your PhD programme? Does it assume you already have a Master's?
2) How many academic credits (e.g., ECTS) are you required to get in order to complete your PhD?
3) If you are paid for TAing, can you estimate the number of teaching contact hours you need in order to supplement other sources of funding?

My union and Ph.D. committee have been asking for feedback, and I have a theory I'd like to test. Feel free to use private mentions if you want.

Edit: I am now using "academic credits" to make myself more understandable to non-EU people.

When the Army Cyber Command was trying to figure out what to name their new headquarters building they were faced with this quandary: every person they considered had skeletons in their closet.

Every. One.

So what’s a commander to do?

Say “fuck this” and name the building after a military operation.

“Stop naming things after people, living or dead. No schools. No streets. No courthouses. No fountains. Just quit it.” https://fritinancy.substack.com/p/stop-naming-buildings-and-streets

Stop naming buildings (and streets, and parks, and ships, and mountains) after people

Eventually, inevitably, someone will decide that your well-meaning gesture was a terrible error.
