While attempting to bag the snake, Budden was bitten on his left thumb but was successful in placing the captured snake in a bag. Extracting a promise from the truck driver that he would get the snake to someone who would transport it south to researchers, Budden was taken for medical treatment. Not having any antivenom for taipans, Budden was given tiger snake antivenom. Although that helped counter the coagulating effect of taipan venom, it did not overcome the second effect of the taipan venom which paralyses the nervous system. Though doctors were initially hopeful he would recover, he died the following afternoon.
Well that was a fucked up read with my breakfast. Definitely some common threads with the I’m Glad My Mother Is Dead book if anybody is into hearing more about what it’s like to grow up in Hollywood.
Also, it sucks that many PHd programs limit that amount of time you can be employed. I would love to pursue doctorate if 1/ I could afford it 2/ do it while keeping my job.
If you know the field well enough to add to it and can defend your dissertation, you have earned your degree.
The full time job requirements are to limit the pool of applicants to the rich and those desperate enough to kiss however many rings and assholes demanded.
Einstein worked while pursuing his Ph.D. Think of the advances people with that philosophy have denied the world.
Shouldn't writing a PHD be a paid position to begin with? One where the uni pays the person getting the PHD. It at least relatively commonly is here in Germany, especially if the field needs capable researchers.
Absolutely! Phd students should be paid. In my country and Field (Engineering/Sciences in the US) basically everyone is paid. Not as well as they ought to be, but still paid. If you are seeking a PhD and aren't getting paid.... someone is telling you you shouldn't get a PhD...
Most eggs sold in American stores are pasteurized. It is most likely fine to eat raw eggs bought in America as well. You just need to avoid the unpasteurized ones which I have never seen sold in stores. I’m not saying they aren’t, I just don’t see them.
You can get pasteurized eggs, which will kill off bacteria in the egg. Does slightly affect consistency, though, so depends on what you're using it for.
For people that wonder „hey there are deserts full of sand“, that is a different sand. To built things you need sand with edges. The sand in the deserts is round.
I’m Korean, but I was born in the US so it’s never really affected me much, but it was always funny trying to explain it. It gets even weirder. Not only are we 1 on the day of birth, we turn 2 on the next New Years Day. My birthday is in December so I was 2 around 2 weeks after I was born. It shouldn’t be too much of an issue in Korea because on government documents and laws they use actual age like the rest of the world. It’s only really celebrating things that the extra age is used. There’s a lot of cultural/traditional things to celebrate. The 100 day mark, as this was a common time that infants died so making it to 100 meant you were probably going to survive. Also Lunar New Year celebrations. But as far as functional things, normal age has been used, but this should limit a lot of the confusion.
