Can I go an hour without eating pickles? If I fail, I’m deleting my comment. [EDIT: It was a close one, but I made it ! This comment is here to stay ! Celebratory pickle time.]

I think I would’ve used the philosoraptor instead to make this meme. The idea guy isn’t typically used to ask questions. [Edit: I see it’s been changed to philosoraptor, nice !👌]

I see. Well, you say you’re “not that serious” about wanting to be a biochemist, but is it still something you want ? Since you also said earlier that you couldn’t commit to something else three more years, to keep going in that track doesn’t seem like a bad option.

Otherwise, if you find a work project involving one or several of the subjects that interest you, that’d be the other good option.

I’m a student myself, and I’ve jumped a few times from a study to another, but now I’m committing to physics and I don’t intend to let go. But there’s also a few skills and fields of interest I like learning on the side… That’s not a contradiction, everyone is interested in different things and has a skill set that’s doesn’t depend only ln their work. I intend to be a good amateur artist and an informed layman on several subjects, but physics is what I want to study professionally.

Committing to something doesn’t mean you should give up on all the rest, just that you should set boundaries on what will be the thing you’ll be an professional in and the rest. Even if you go a different path, don’t think of the time you devoted to biochemistry as wasted time… It’ll have fed your culture and skill set. Maybe it’ll be useful to you, maybe not, but either way it’s not a negative thing. A choice is good if it is a choice you’ve made. And you’re not that late anyway, some have “wasted” more years than that.

Of course, I’m just a student myself, not a teacher or anything. Beside, I’m French and our university systems might be a bit different, so take it with a grain of salt.

What have you studied so far, and what made you leave the last course?

Has there been threats or suggestions of a government blocking Lemmy, or is this just pessimistic anticipation?

I have no idea how British people pronounce it, I don’t believe I’ve ever discussed water bottles with a British person. I jut saw the meme and was reminded of another meme I’d once seen.

Uh, by accident. I’ll edit the link.

Idk, I’ve heard government cheese was mid.

Giant space laser to destroy military infrastructure and aircrafts. All of them. Bring peace on earth through terror.

Thanks! This meme is based on this convo https://sh.itjust.works/comment/11555357 So it’s trying to make sense of something that doesn’t. The original sentence was probably AI generated, or if not, whoever wrote this must’ve been going through some stuff.

If this still doesn’t make sense to you, maybe watch the movie “Platoon”

Good ole fishhook theory

It’s relatively easy for recent things related to big technological advances (first phone call, first man in space…); but it’s nearly impossible for really old thing, because while you can find out one really old thing existed at one time, it’s always merely the oldest known occurence. An earlier one might’ve not left surviving traces, or it’s traces might’ve not been found yet…

French (native), English (fluent), Spanish (a bit less than fluent). Started learning Japanese at one point and quit. Can still speak and understand some, but I’ve given up on learning kanjis. Understand a’d speak some Haitian creole (also less than fluent).

Keep breaking my system while trying to fix bugs, then fix or reinstall, distro-hop when I’m out of bugs, call it permanent revolution.

So there’s the time I converted my partition table from MBR to GPT and it corrupted everything on it so I had to reinstall. Took this opportunity to switch from Mint to Arch, something I’d been thinking of doing for a while.

Once on Arch, I had much more opportunities to make epic mistakes: For example not putting enough room on my root partition (home was on a separate one), so after a while I had to reinstall.

I still haven’t found the solution, have you had any luck with yours?

I tried switching every UEFI setting that seemed to have something to do with booting or gpus, reinstalled gpu bios, upgrading mobo bios, getting a monitor I could plug without a switch… All to no avail.

Well, I think before upgrading the BIOS, one thing had a slightly different result: Setting the boot mode to UEFI and disabling CSM made it display “no gop (graphic output protocol)” after a few minutes, and it offered to either take me to the uefi settings or loading defaults (which implied going back to CSM), after which it boot this time go back to doing the same thing.

I don’t think I’ve had this error since the mobo bios upgrade, but still no display unless I reboot, unless the computer had been turned in until recently. I’m kinda out of ideas…

Children should be given guns and sent individually in the same forest on a moonless night. Let them figure out for themselves which course of action maximizes the likelihood of a good outcome and minimizes that of a bad one for them when they hear another kid between hiding, calling out and shooting.
