ikr on a "bad day" I'm basically just grabbing a slice of bread and opening the fridge to find something edible to wrap it around.

Apple founder Steve Jobs, probably the seminal tech innovator of our time

wait... Job was a marketer and a manager, right? I mean, those are important skills, and he did them effectively, but... is that what is widely considered tech innovation?

Aw, even better. Did you bring anything back with you? You can say you raided the coast of England, Viking-style!

You shoulda taken a flag from your country and placed it in the ground, so you can say that you invaded England.

We need an anime of this: "How I Married a Greek Hero and Got Stuck at Home with a Bunch of Losers", maybe.

There are countless other 'niche' communities that have no posts for months, however.

Hey, have you seen !fedigrow@lemmy.zip? It's got a lot of discussions on how to handle this.

I think that to grow a niche community, you need at least 2-3 regular posters, and you need to make posts that encourage discussion (i.e. ask questions or provoke a thoughtful reaction that readers would like to share.)

Looks more like Mecha-Godzilla, tho.

Carić ran errands for her, such as buying groceries, but they never talked, as Golik would not leave her floor, instead lowering a bucket with money and a written list down the stairs, with the items to be dropped off on Golik's doorstep.

livin' the life!

You need someone to tell you when you're wrong. If you don't, you're headed for a fall.

The dangerous thing is that you can, in many science fields, get a PhD with minimal collaboration. Just pass the quals and focus on your disseration project, there you go. But you'll be at a tremendous disadvantage during a faculty search, when you're up against all those people who did internships early in their career, kept those research connections, led research projects in the local lab, joined student groups at conferences and helped organize a student workshop, reviewed for conferences, helped out on projects with people you met at conferences, contributed to funding proposals, etc.
