[scrumpyfan43]

In petroleum geology, all fossils are "bugs" so it's not just things that are currently alive. They're usually talking about phytoplankton microfossils but there's no reason not to think of a T. rex as a bug too

not a pedant about “bugs” at all. if you’re not using it as a scientific term (i.e. to refer to the order Hemiptera) then why not be extremely inclusive with it?

insects are bugs. hemipterans are definitely bugs. arachnids are bugs too, and I don’t think there’s anything buggier than a centipede or millipede. shrimp and crabs are bugs. worms and slugs are bugs. sea urchins are bugs. corals are a lot of little bugs that make a big house together.

lizards are bugs. frogs are bugs (some toads that look like they pay taxes and go to work are distinctly Men though). most snakes are bugs. I called my quail bugs even when they got big. hummingbirds are bugs. a shrew is a bug. my friend’s ugly little cat is a bug. mushrooms are definitely bugs. weird orchids and succulents are bugs.

I’d warrant most of the things that are alive are bugs.

Fossil Fuels - Coal, Oil and Natural Gas

Fossil fuels are naturally occurring, non-renewable resources that have taken millions of years to develop into carbon-rich reserves due to the natural mechanism of the degradation of plants and other living things that were deposited beneath layers of sediment and were subjected to tremendous heat and pressure due to earth’s internal heat and overlaying burden. These fossil fuels, which can be burned to produce energy, are present in the Earth's crust. They contain both carbon and hydrogen. Coal, crude oil, and natural gas are three prominent examples of fossil fuels; they are all regarded as such since they were created from the fossilized, buried remnants of animals and plants. It's also crucial to remember that these sources meet around 80% of the world's energy needs. Regarding the three main categories of fossil fuels, crude oil, also known as petroleum, is a liquid fossil fuel primarily made of hydrocarbons (compounds of carbon and hydrogen); natural gas is an odorless gas primarily made of methane; and coal is a solid, black, carbon-rich piece of sedimentary rock.

JUJUR, kalau mau ku-tailor lagi tambahin “di dept ini ada professor x yang papernya kujadiin references di thesis s2 aku, meeting them and having an in-person discussion with them would be an honour for me and enriching my experiences in the academia”, terus how “one of the elective course yaitu xxx would help me solving problem x that I faced during my research in xxx”, “With our limited resources here in Indonesia, we still couldn’t be able to work with method x, but this course offers the training in this specific method”, “selain taking benefits from this course, I would also be able to offer fresh perspective from developing nations point of view”, “I also can offer cultural exchange”.

Buset banyak banget “bumbu” yang bisa ditambahin di prompt dan itu PS betulan jadi bisa SUPER DUPER personalised? LUAR BIASA CHAT GPT. Tapi ya emang pelajarannya dari experiment-ku di atas barusan adalah: ChatGPT is a machine anyway that help shaping our text to be in a readable version, grammatically correct, dan bahkan bisa di-custom juga to give certain nuance/vibe. Yang paling penting balik lagi tetap aja ke input prompt-nya. Isi teksnya. Yang adalah kita sendiri yang pikirin. Si ChatGPT bisa bikin kenampakannya bagus, tapi kalau ingredientsnya busuk (jahat juga gua pakai term), atau kurang bagus lah ya kualitasnya, ya hasil akhirnya juga kureng aka biasa-biasa aja.

Nah gimana supaya ingredientsnya/inputnya bagus? Ya harus banyak-banyak baca…. Membaca adalah kunci… Makanya ku bingung banget kalau ada orang yang mau nulis PS terus tapi pas kutanya “udah berapa PS yang pernah kamu baca? Ada personal favorite PS tertentu nggak yang kamu pengen jadiin reference?” nda bisa jawab, ya bubar sodara-sodara. Betulan pelajaran yang betul-betul ku internalised selama PhD ini adalah: kalau mau menulis bagus,tipsnya adalah banyak baca, terus latihan gapernah berhentiiiiii, dan iterasi. Berapa kalipun yang dibutuhkan. Bisa 10x, 5x kalau udah expert, ratusan kali kalau masih beginner, pokoknya sampe jijik sampe mau muntah gamau buka lagi file wordnya, nah itu berarti tandanya u udah siap untuk submit.

Makanya kadang perlu waktu lama banget buat orang nulis PS tu bukan masalah nulisnya. Pake ChatGPT tadi itu juga 10 detik selesai. Tapi mikirin kontennya, nyari ingredientsnya, bacanya, researchnya. Semangat teman-teman semua. Dah gitu dulu aja bacotnya hari ini. Ku kayanya in 30 mins mau wrap up dan pulang. Habis ini mau ke RSL ada buku yang mau ku pinjam, terus pulang ajadeh. Mampir Sainsbury dulu beli tissue toilet. Sampe rumah ngelaundry.

Selamat menjalani minggu, teman-teman tumblrku!
