@prachisrivas @StillIRise1963 (I’m glad you had a good doctoral experience! That world is such a mixed bag.)
I once told a class about some of my college escapes: secretly running ethernet to the un-networked dorms, blocking off the street with traffic cones on a summer night and moving all the lounge furniture out into the street…
…and they looked at me with utter incomprehension. They apparently don’t do shenanigans like that anymore.
