💀 I got a beko espresso machine last year and, for the price (~£140), it’s served me very well so far. I’m not a coffee nerd though.

Get a membership; a decent setup (akin to the gym) will cost tens of thousands. Why buy the equipment up front and store / maintain it permanently when you only want to use it a few hours a week?

First time paper I ever submitted to a journal got outright rejected. It knocked me a bit. Tbf the editor did send notes which were really useful.

It can be a bruising process but everyone has been in that seat, it’s part of the training to become deeply comfortable with very in-depth criticism.

100% this. Don’t worry you’ll get used to it. It’s not personal, it’s just the job.

It’s eternally entertaining to see devout Xians get their pants in a twist over this and also show they know so little about the beliefs they are so ardently “defending”.

Fuck is this a midlife crisis? 😬

Tbh I’d happily seek to have the body I had 5 years ago 😂

But yeah, I need to just accept this is a new phase. Clean slate, no expectations, no ego.
