The postbac I am mentoring has thus far applied to a 18 PhD programs (a reasonable precaution right now), 13 of which have fees for a total cost of $1,001 (AVG = 77±20, max=105, min=30). I know the numbers because, as part of the position, I committed to paying these fees out of unrestricted funds. It's a good thing, too, because as a 1st gen student, this many applications would be totally unaffordable.

Hand tools vent. Maybe this will save someone some grief and #expense if they find it with a search.
Wiha - great drivers & bits. Love 'em. Well-machined, good tough tool #steel.
But their needlenose pliers? Rubbish. I have a set of full-sized needlenose, plus their "micro" set. With both of them there's too much slop in the joint, so the jaws are never quite aligned. I don't recall if they were bad right out of the packaging, but I certainly noticed it within the first handful of usages. I have the full sized "standard" / linesman-type pliers as well, but you don't tend to notice slop because of the much shorter jaws.
Wiha's micro-needlenose pliers are no better than - or even noticeably worse than - #cheap #Chinesium ones I have.
Save your money.

"...the data center capital: Northern Virginia. Located just outside of D.C., this region houses the towering, gray warehouses that process, by some estimates, nearly 70 percent of global digital traffic. Here in the world’s internet hub, residents have long shouldered the costs of powering our insatiable digital demand." ~~~ Washington Post opinion piece by photographer Stephen Voss, 6 October 2025
I know people who live in northern Virginia, near Dulles Airport. I didn't know the area is the #DataCenter capital.
And one of the things I don't understand at all is how/why "In addition to guzzling water and energy, the structures require extra substations and high-voltage transmission lines. Those costs are passed on to the data centers’ neighbors in the form of higher energy bills."
Seems, doesn't it, that the corporations building these million square foot buildings should pay the bills for the electrical infrastructure as well as the monthly bills for the electricity they consume.
But, then, I'm naive in the ways of the world.

Honest Men often go to Law for their Right; when Wise Men would sit down with the Wrong, supposing the first Loss least. In some Countries the Course of the Courts is so tedious, and the Expence so high, that the Remedy, Justice, is worse than, Injustice, the Disease. In my Travels I once saw a Sign call’d The Two Men at Law; One of them was painted on one Side, in a melancholy Posture, all in Rags, with this Scroll, I have lost my Cause. The other was drawn capering for Joy, on the other Side, with these Words, I have gain’d my Suit; but he was stark naked.
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist
Poor Richard (1742 ed.)

FACT: CONTRACTORS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN PUBLIC SERVANTS

FACT: CONTRACTORS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN PUBLIC SERVANTS
The old Republican argument for getting rid of civil servants was that
private contractors would be more efficient, and so in place of civil
servants, the U.S. has relied on private contractors since the 1990s.
While the U.S. spent about $270 billion on federal workers’ salaries
before the 2025 cuts, it spent $478 billion on government contractors.
Public policy scholar Elizabeth Linos explained that even before the
recent cuts, the U.S. had “something like three times as many
[contractors] delivering the work of government” as it had civil
servants.](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/115/106/843/222/040/752/original/115953538bea5ed5.jpeg)

A man is rich whose income is larger than his expenses, and he is poor if his expenses are greater than his income.
[Celui-là est riche, qui reçoit plus qu’il ne consume; celui-là est pauvre, dont la dépense excède la recette.]

Is it too expensive to go see Santa at the mall? This Ontario mom thinks so
When Ontario mom Danielle Howlett went to get photos of her nine-month-old daughter with Santa at a mall in Cambridge, she says she walked away after being told a photo package would be $40. She's calling for malls to provide more options for people who can't pay to see Santa.
