Do you have a date for you snake fight?
<SnoopJeDi>
very no

so the short-term answer here is "wow I'm flattered and also VERY unemployable right now"
<SnoopJeDi>
but April's not *that* far away, either

<UnqualifiedRaptor>

<UnqualifiedRaptor>
(Also that reminds me, I need to get rejected by that NSF grant program)
<SnoopJeDi>
so um
<SnoopJeDi>
this is preachy
<SnoopJeDi>
but be really careful about how you talk to yourself like that

it's cliché but you really start believing things you say to yourself

ANYWAY

you is kind, you is smart, you is in graduate school and therefore if you label yourself as an impostor you are disrespecting not only yourself, but also the people who decided you ARE good enough to be here

bofh, when I was a kid, we talked about chicken runoff a *lot*
<SnoopJeDi>
in school and the like (MD is very ecology-minded because the Bay watershed is everything)
<SnoopJeDi>
PA/NY/NJ are...extremely apathetic about the trouble they cause downriver, as a rule
<SnoopJeDi>
which is stupid because fertilizer is expensive and letting it run off your land is dumb???
<SnoopJeDi>
but muh freedumb
<bofh>
Pretty much, sigh.
<bofh>
how bad's phosphate contamination nowadays anyhow?
<SnoopJeDi>
still pretty terrible
<SnoopJeDi>
better than it used to be at least, but...the long-term outlook is pretty grim
<SnoopJeDi>
blue crab are doing okay at least
<SnoopJeDi>
but oysters are...not.

I wonder how much of oysters is overfishing, tho.

bofh, so I was half-watching some color theory videos last night as I prepared dinner, and the person speaking made some interesting claims about historical painting trends. It got me wondering if anybody's processed e.g. MoMA data to look at clustering in complementary/triadic/etc. harmonies and such.
