Gloomhaven! Just started another two minis mercenary, they are my favorite

This all sounds like a solid start tbh, if you learn pandas and bio python i feel like you are basically there

Hugos House of Horrors was the first video game I played — I was probably 7 or so and my mother would perm this ladies hair every few weeks. She was a family friend and was in a wheelchair, so we would go to her house. She had a computer that had this game on it and I was just mesmerized by the whole creepy/campy vibe.

It has its pros and cons — I work on lots of projects and help with parts of grant writing, but I’m not the one guiding the big research goal/question (I appreciate that the questions are interesting but don’t care that much about the question usually). Because I work on so many projects I usually only have <1 full day a week to work on each one, so progress can be slow and managing expectations can be challenging. I am paid more than a postdoc but less than I would in industry. It is expected that I will mentor undergraduate students and teach workshops. These things might make a big difference re: how much you enjoy the job. Folks in this type of position are sometimes called research software engineers: https://society-rse.org/

I’m a staff bioinformatics scientist at an academic institution, got my PhD a few years ago and wasn’t interested in a postdoc. I get to work on a huge range of research questions and lots of different technologies. It’s great!

I have pre-grieved

I hope there will be a Mac version! Very excited about this

This looks incredible - do you actually put the haloumi on the grill in big pieces? It doesn’t melt or anything?

Yes, I am using mlem. The only problem I had was an issue with setting up testflight — I had to copy and paste the code from the URL that mlem gives you

My understanding is that one implication of the API cost is that it will impact the cost of running bots/automation of moderation tasks. If this is true, I don’t think it matters much that they are allowing some third party apps if all the subs get overwhelmed with spam and bots.
