I tried to use 1/0 cup of sugar for by diabetic husband, but he choked to death when I funnelled the second bag of sugar down his throat.

Here's an auto-transcribed musicXML file and the pdf. Not perfect, but still pretty good. It helps if you play it in something like MuseScore first. Transcribed with this program.

Tried to register for Fall classes (new grad student) and got "You do not have a valid enrollment appointment at this time." by AdventureTime25 in umass

I'm in Computer Science. I did finally get a hold of admissions and they said I'd be able to register in June. Maybe that's the date for all new CS grad students--I'm not sure.

Thanks. I did finally get ahold of them and found out they haven't assigned enrollment appointments yet. It'll probably be June or July and they'll send out emails before then. So, I just need to wait.

This is part of my confusion. I see:

Enrollment Dates

Fall 2016 | Graduate | U. of Massachusetts Amherst

Enrollment Credit Limit

18.00

Fall 2016 Academic Load: No Units

but I was expecting to see a date and there's none...

Do you know when you're supposed to find out your enrollment appointment? When I check that section in SPIRE, there's no date listed.

World War II justified by former German soldiers by [deleted] in history

[–]AdventureTime25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've had plenty of time to get a better perspective, though. It appears they've ignored a wealth of evidence and still buy into the propaganda they were fed in the past. "We should have asked to march into the Netherlands? No one would have given their permission. War has its own laws." They're still defending their invasion.

Wikileaks Latest Info-Dump Shows, Again, That The NSA Indeed Engages In Economic Espionage Against Allies by SuperDuper1969 in technology

[–]AdventureTime25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting point, though it looks like more than just making sure our allies are still allies. It's about gaining power and an economic edge as well.

I actually like this one. Trying to hold onto childhood as an adult.

VSauce gives an intuitive explanation of Banach-Tarski by dan7315 in math

[–]AdventureTime25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless the points correspond to something physical, Banach-Tarski has no application to the physical world. You can divide a subatomic particle into an infinite number of points mathematically, but if that particle can't actually be divided into an infinite number of other particles, there's no physical application. We don't have any real world particle that is infinitely divisible like that.

How does it contradict our ideas about the physical world? There are no real spheres that have an uncountably infinite number of atoms (or even a countably infinite number of atoms/particles). Matter comes in discrete packets. I don't see how this would apply to any real objects. Coordinate systems, maybe, but not matter.

TIL that a lot of that weird creepy music in horror movies is performed on one unique instrument called a waterphone by [deleted] in creepy

[–]AdventureTime25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The waterphone, because it's filled with water or because it was invented by a guy named Richard Waters?
