Loudermilk had an episode on this.

In my field of research, there seems to be a recent push for artifact evaluation. It's a separate process which is also optional but you get to brag about the fact that you get badges if your experiment results were replicated.

There's also some push back against this since it's additional work, but I think it's a step in the right direction.

You can't say the quiet part out loud.

Didn't climb up the wall to pet them?

My roommate was cooking at the time, so yes.

That's exactly my point as well. I've got a pair of shoes that I got for $40 around 5 years ago and I still wear them everywhere.

I'm lucky in the sense that I'm bang on average. So most off-the-shelf stuff fits me good enough.

My point was about myself actually. I didn't mean to generalize to any group as much.

Also, I do agree that super cheap t-shirts don't really last very long. And my point wasn't that I'd buy t-shirts only if they're under $5. But rather that "I'm not spending more than $50 on a t-shirt".

I'll go with shoes and clothes (not the work kind)

That does not mean that I'm going out to buy the cheapest I can find. I just mean to say that I don't buy expensive ones.

And my definition of expensive is $100+ I always make sure to not spend more than $50 on a shoe or any item of clothing (shirts, t-shirts, shorts, jeans)

Nvm, I just read the other comments you've posted and it really just feels like you're trolling and trying to evoke a response out of people. So I'm gonna ignore anything further from you.

Okay I have no idea what your point is here. And it seems like you missed my point too which was that "people who bring in money help fund research, but their contribution of funding shouldn't diminish the work that the actual scientists do with that money".

While I do agree that funding is necessary for research, I don't think the politician who may or may not have brought funding to the project should receive more appreciation than the actual scientists.
