Today’s Aussie adventures:
Ferry from Circular Quay to Watson’s Bay for a nice walk on a trail to a lighthouse with fish and chips and beer at the end.
Then walked from Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach with another beer at the end.
Last will be buses back to Erko for a bite to eat and… beer! 🍺

It’s happened now. I bought a “choc-top” to help me regulate my fear.
Should I - a person who doesn't like horror or go out of her way to feel scared BUT who nevertheless liked A Quiet Place, Get Out, the original Nightmare on Elm Street - see Weapons? Will I survive?

OMG - So I'm in Australia and this is what every 19-year-old guy looks like right now. Jacob Elordi (the actor/teenage dirtbag shown here) is Australian... so blame Australia I guess? Or Elordi?
why does every famous man in his 20s currently look like a dirtbag who was smoking by the shed behind the school in the ’80s

\section{Phenomenon}
The subject matter to be addressed. What is the question? Citation for background are useful, but don't do a full lit review (yet).\cite{HenrichMcElreath:2003} Additional references can be included at the end bibliography by using \verb|\nocite|. \nocite{NBGA2005}
\section{Theoretical Perspective}
The framework for explaining the phenomenon. What are the implications of theory? If more than one theory is relevant, how do the implications differ? What are the current holes in the theory or theories?
\section{Approach}
Modeling and empirical research approach to address the theory/ies nominated above. Important thing is to \emph{justify} the approach in terms of theory.
\section{Specifics of Approach}
Outline any special skills, equipment, or techniques that will be required. This includes, in the case of field research, a paragraph on the background of the field location. Data analysis approach needs a sketch. Can use citation\cite{Merowetal2014} for further detail.
\section{Expected Products}
A list of the (usually 3) articles expected for completion of the PhD. Think of each as a fantasy abstract.
\begin{enumerate}
\item \emph{The Evolution of Human Uniqueness.} There is wide agreement that humans are unique. But it is rarely asked: Have they always been unique? In this paper, we derive a general uniqueness theorem that states that any unique species must have been less unique at some point in the past. This theorem has implications for the achievement of world peace.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ta2whs6wjtpljvpqgs5leu36/bafkreihnoflhyf2lajrvcsovawt3xr47qlm76jfhzet5lqumkabtzufvoe@jpeg)
