I laugh-oinked

I'm sorry to hear it. I'd sort of thought that these sorts of delays are behind us, but apparently not. Terrible that you had to go through this, but that's great that it was accepted in the end.

Did they ever reveal the outcome? How long did it ultimately take? I'm also waiting for the verdict to be communicated having seen a similar indicator on a similarly designed website (but it's just day 5, so my situation isn't like yours)

Admittedly, an issue that I wondered about, too. But 20+ seemed like an unlikely series of coincidences. It's a small place.

Did some digging and it's looking likely the owner cannot legally rent the property because they need a license. #airbnb won't say whether owner has license and owner will be able to avoid all accountability because they use a manager who will get the bad review(s) and then just move to new manager.

Sort of, but sort of not. I guess I think there are readings of "ought" that display information-dependence, but also some that don't and I do worry a bit about the people who say that the latter aren't really normative because often they encode our sense of rights, duties, and obligations.

I get that there’s a plausibly true reading of ‘should rent the property out’ that’s true if the owner doesn’t know about the infestation (and I don’t think this ignorance has to be culpable—in large buildings, this can happen quite quickly) but that’s possibly compatible with the above.

Given state and local laws, we can assume that owners cannot rent properties infested with pests. For me, that’s a pretty good reason to think the ‘shouldn’t have rented in the first place’ thing is known even if we don’t know the owner’s informational state.

Been working on a new project and have a collection of things on it out under review. It's not easy breaking into a new area, but I'm really hoping for some luck here as it might help with a grant application. I have about a month to get the application in and hoping one of the things out lands.

My man isn't into facts

not the time to both sides this shit.

Go where and do what? Texas was almost my escape from an awful employer a few years ago. I’m relieved I didn’t jump now, but there hasn’t been a place I could go in country even if I took an entry level position

Have you been following the academic job market closely? I was headhunted and moved to a terrible employer and there hasn’t been a job in this country at my level in at least 4 years. It’s not the US but it’s not a small country.

Do they do the “How the light gets in festival?” This festival used to ask our students to do free work for valuable experience on their cvs and wouldn’t give them meals or anything… so come out, work for free, buy our overpriced food while richer people bathe in bullshit

Not my wrist. This was on trip two with philosophy friends where we discovered I was oh so close to getting the name right. this was more the vibe.
