When I started watching Hermitcraft almost 10 years ago I was in college and I had all the time in the world to watch youtube videos. But now I have a stupid job and stupid partner and stupid responsibilities and I can't keep up with all the hermits I want to watch. :(

Obsidian's built-in browser appears to struggle with reCAPTCHA. I often encounter a situation where verification appears to be rejected, triggering a verification loop. After each failed attempt, reCAPTCHA prompts me to verify again, creating an endless cycle. On occasion, the process completes successfully after several attempts, but more often it continues indefinitely.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
I recently became a Canadian citizen and got my Canadian passport. I travel to the US for work a few times a year. In two weeks, I'll be crossing the border for the first time using my Canadian passport. I hold several other passports (none are US). I've been traveling on an EU passport up until now, but border agents at US pre-clearance have usually asked to see my other passports as well. To be clear, I never volunteer that I hold multiple passports. Agents typically ask on their own, so I assume that information shows up in their system. Because of this, I've gotten into the habit of carrying all my passports whenever I travel to the US (I don't bother to do that for other destinations). Now that I have my Canadian passport, should I keep carrying the others? Will the CBP officer at pre-clearance still ask to see them? What happens if I don't have them on me? It'd be a lot simpler to travel with just one passport from here on out, but I don't want that to be a problem when entering the US.
I also have a NEXUS application pending review, in case that's relevant.
Edit: by traveling for work I mean mostly attending professional conferences. No visa required (as far as I'm aware).

My supervisor, a few of her colleagues, and I are working on a strange little paper at the intersection of several fields that don't usually overlap. I'm first author, though that happened mostly by accident. The whole project was my supervisor's idea. But after she secured funding for the project (no small feat), she kind of decided she didn't care about it anymore and dipped out. I ended up doing most of the work on the project by myself, and my supervisor and her colleagues mostly came in to provide feedback during the paper writing stage. Not complaining, though. That project paid my rent for two years. It was a great source of income.
When it came time to submit the paper, my supervisor told me "this is going to be a hard sell", and she was right. The results are not very exciting really. On top of that, the paper brings together disciplines that don't typically talk to each other and doesn't sit squarely in any one field. It kind of tries to do a lot all at once and ends up not doing enough in any one field. We submitted to a large generalist social science journal thinking it'll probably get rejected but we might get some helpful reviews back. Today we got a desk reject saying the paper is out of scope with the journal, which I think is fair.
I think it's an interesting paper just because of the ambition to do something in this intersection if nothing else and would like to see it out there. And another first author credit would be nice. But the funding for the project is now over, the paper probably needs a lot more work before a journal would consider it, and it seems like no one really cares about this project anymore. So I'm inclined to just let this paper die. I have my own research to work on. I can't be spending time shepherding this paper across the finish line by myself.
Is that reasonable?
My paper was accepted to a panel at a prestigious conference this summer. I’ve attended this conference before, but I swear the registration fees alone are double what they were two or three years ago. Even the early registration student rate is now over $300. And that’s before travel, accommodation, and everything else.
In the past, I’ve managed to make conference attendance work with a modest travel fund my school offered graduate students. It wasn’t much, but it helped offset some of the cost. Due to budget cuts, though, even that support is no longer available. My supervisor keeps telling me that conference attendance is important for my career. But how are students supposed to afford conferences these days?
I've watched the show more times than I can count, but there's a moment in the 2013 Christmas Special I've never quite known what to make of.
As everyone may recall, the 2013 Special centers on the London season and Rose's coming out in society. However, there is a subplot involving a letter written by the Prince of Wales (the future Edward VIII) which is stolen from Mrs. Dudley Ward's purse at a nightclub. The crew, led by Mary, devises a plan to retrieve the letter, involving breaking in to thief's flat, a one Mr. Sampson.
When they arrive at the flat, Mary observes that it is "rather sad," and Charles Blake appears to agree, remarking that cheating at cards "cannot be that lucrative after all." But the flat itself, though not exactly the Ritz, nonetheless looks rather nice. It appears to be a one-bedroom, so it is not huge, but it is clean, tidy, has nice looking furniture and wallpaper. All in all, it seems like a decent place to live.
So I'm just not sure what to make of Mary's comment. It is not material to the plot, but I never quite managed to make heads or tails of it. Is this a case of Mary being a snob, thinking that anything short of a grand house is basically a slum, even this rather nice and comfortable flat? Was the flat supposed to appear run down, but the set and props department didn't get the memo and this is a case of the script not matching what is shown on screen? Is this supposed to signal to us that standards for flats were higher in the 1920s, something that seems unlikely and also historically untrue?
Again, this is completely immaterial to the plot, but every time I watch the episode, I am just confused by that comment. What do you mean "rather sad"? Assuming the the flat is centrally located in London seeing as how they get to it and back very quickly, if this building allows pets - I'm moving in today.
