@VE2UWY@elduvelle a few years ago a moose did swim across to the island of Montreal so don't give up hope. As for easier to plan stuff to do in Montreal; walk (or bike) on the St Laurence by Verdun beach. Get crispy mushrooms at Chu Chai. Go see a French movie at Cinema Beaubien and have a vegan croissant at nearby cafe dei campi (only on weekends). Bota Bota in the old port (expensive but worth it, great views). Falafel Yoni. Ecomuseum in Ste Anne (may have moose) https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.939805
Okay for the lazy ones here is the sentence:
“Certainly, here is a possible introduction for your topic:Lithium-metal batteries are promising candidates for high-energy-density rechargeable batteries due to their low electrode potentials and high theoretical capacities [1], [2].”
@elduvelle so they are now not even trying to hide the fact this is not written by the authors but by some LLM 😬 looks like the frontiers rat history is going to keep repeating in other academic domains too
Why is it that all university training for their staff consists of silly animations and extra-slow videos with individual sentences coming up one at a time with no way to just see all the text at once?
Do they think that making us waste our time in an extremely frustrating way is going to make us remember the contents better?
@elduvelle so there's a delicatessen near where I live which looks beautiful but all the food tastes rubbish. It confused me for a long time, until I realised that it's run by people who have seen a real deli, and are copying the visual appearance, but who don't actually like food. I suspect a similar thing is happening in university training courses.
@NicoleCRust@jonny@elduvelle seems like a small step from this to treating academics as self employed contractors. Great idea from university manager point of view, but something we should absolutely resist. So glad this isn't a thing over here.
@david_megginson@elduvelle seconding this, Windows' built-in anti-malware tool is already there and seems to work decently. It's what I use on the Windows portion of my Win/Linux dualboot.
If you don't already, another useful idea would be to install adblockers (i.e. uBlock origin) on all browsers you have. Makes for a much quieter browsing experience and reduces your attack surface a bit, as advertisements can be used as malware vectors (see here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malvertising ).
Last time I asked for a fun movie to watch and your suggestions were great!!
Now - I know it’s “gnangnan” (as we say in French) but - for #ValentinesDay would you have suggestions of Romantic movies? 💕
