canihasaccounttoAnimal behavior@mander.xyz•Ants are the only animals besides humans that perform life-saving surgeries1·11 days agoIf you don’t already have some form of metal that has been intentionally added to your body, my guess is that you will before you die.

Could this be from someone who immigrated to Ireland from the US after Trump got elected again? I could see someone on the left buying a Tesla years ago for the environment’s sake and deciding to flee the country after the election, with obtaining a job, immigration, etc. taking a couple of months.
I don’t own a Tesla, but I’m looking to get out of the US.
canihasaccountto People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•Every generation has their thing, I suppose.692·19 days agoThe Gen Z bit is accurate, at least for current college students. I’m amazed at how little they do, how few relationships they have, etc. I actually feel quite bad for them.
canihasaccountto Fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Post on /r/RedditAlternatives finds it suspicious that people suggest Lemmy a lot as a Reddit alternativeEnglish4·19 days agoMaybe, but at least some folks have less of it. Me, for example. On Reddit, I generally assumed most folks were from the US, or bots. On here, I generally assume folks are equally–if not more–likely to be from a country in Europe, or Canada. I also see way more German representation here than I did on Reddit.
canihasaccountto Games•Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?English6·19 days agoI actually don’t know the way you’re supposed to beat Super Metroid “correctly.” I’ve always done what I ended up learning was a major sequence break resulting from a bunch of bomb jumps to get the power bomb early, and use that to get some other stuff that allows me to beat the game out of order.
I also never start Metroid Prime without immediately getting the double jump. I used to be up there on speed running that game. I don’t play the player’s choice or switch versions whenever I decide to crack it out. The original was literal perfection.
canihasaccountto Television@lemm.ee•What are some lesser-known obscure TV series that went under the radar, that you would recommend?English5·23 days agoMrs. Davis is one of my favorite shows period. That was a masterpiece.
While we’re on a thread about English grammar, “who’s” means “who is.” The possessive of “who” is “whose.”
Sorry.

I don’t internet without uBlock. I honestly couldn’t imagine it any other way.
canihasaccountto science•academic writing software recommendations from fellow researchers?English32·2 months agoONLYOFFICE (sorry for the caps, poor name) has better docx compatibility than WPS or any other suite. It’s the only thing I’ve found that can do everything in an academic style paper without issue. In addition, its source code is open (unlike WPS) and it has Zotero and Mendeley integrations. Its Zotero integration was better than its Mendeley integration last I checked.
I’m a professor and use ONLYOFFICE as the only word processor on my office computer.
Edit: apparently the Zotero plugin needs to be updated.
Same. I still occasionally browse Reddit, but I have a rule that I don’t post or comment there. I do post and comment here.
ONLYOFFICE (sorry about the caps, poor name choice IMO) has even better docx compatibility, and its source code is open
Not sure? Maybe a moderator deleted my comment, but it’s still visible with some Lemmy clients?
canihasaccountto science•The List of Trump's Forbidden Words That Will Get Your Paper Flagged at NSFEnglish11·3 months agoI completely agree on all points.
canihasaccountto science•The List of Trump's Forbidden Words That Will Get Your Paper Flagged at NSFEnglish21·3 months agoI can’t imagine that flags will get awards automatically cancelled. Any human (f)MRI work is going to describe its participant inclusion or exclusion criteria, because you can’t put people with any risk of metal in their bodies within an MRI machine. Republicans tend to like brain research because the military really likes it. Additionally, virtually all NSF broader impacts will contain at least some speculative verbiage like, “this could help to increase representation.” My guess is that flags return an AI or actual person review, which then makes a decision. Some folks at my university have been told that their awards have been cancelled. My awards that have some of these words haven’t been cancelled.
Nothing in the Frontiers is reputable among scientists. It gets linked a lot on Reddit because it’s open access, but scientists tend to view it as essentially the not-actually-peer-reviewed equivalent of a preprint. In the past, if all reviewers recommend rejection at Frontiers, the editor would be forcibly assigned new reviewers by the publishing staff. This would continue until the manuscript would get accepted. Not sure if that’s still the same (I’ve blocked all Frontiers emails), but it’s not correct to call a Frontiers journal a major reputable journal.
