Oh man, that’s genius.

Overall I feel it is just the pulse of time, just like with losing languages that are not being used, but this part from the article caught me unprepared:

A newspaper in Toronto recorded the lament of a pastry instructor who realised that many of his culinary students couldn’t properly pipe an inscription in icing on a cake – their cursive writing was too shaky and indistinct to begin with.

Not that I feel writing on cakes is essential either but there is more to writing than meets the eye, I suppose.

Good on them! It’s getting harder and harder to make it in academia so unless you come from an established research group and have connections plus some luck publishing high impact (which is bullshit, but unfortunately a metric still), it will be tough to keep going. Oh, and forget about family planning unless you want extra stress. Sucks to be you if you happen to be a woman as well.

Glad to see people realise you don’t have to stay but you can get jobs outside of academia.

What the fuck is this timeline.

The image is from the corrected timeline though, where Biff is a friend of the family and not a bully anymore.

I’m just going to assume the response translates to “wtf”.

So what if everyone has one of those. Already now in apartment buildings you can pick up tons of other WiFi’s, with increased radius are you even able to connect to yours when about 100 additional ones are using similar frequencies?

That’s why you use a literature management tool like Zotero which has a built in retraction alert based on the wonderful database of retractionwatch.

Does unfortunately not help the non-scientist looking up a random paper from a Facebook post.

But, if all clocks behave like this, how would it matter? It is also only 30 seconds late if you compare a clock that shows minutes versus a clock that also shows seconds. And why would you do that?

Your own fault for going to major tourist hot spots.

Interesting how bad online gaming got, that articles like this one exist. Content of a game you bought not vanishing after a few months is revolutionary, just wow.
