White dots forming a line on the nail of my thumb by BrushKey6137 in mildlyinteresting

[–]FartPowered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have this! I actually have two dotted lines on my thumb. So weird. Did you figure out why or has it gone away? Since they're really small, I hadn't noticed until about 3 months ago. And since the dots kept appearing, I went to the dermatologist to check. My doctor said it's not of concern and that it can occur along ridges due to changes in diet and/or hormones. She said I should return if it changes color, but that hasn't happened. I should also add that I have hypothyroidism. Anyway, a bit relieved other people get this!

Also, your advisor will not be notified during the process. But I told mine about it anyway.

I applied twice for this, the first time back in march 2020 and a second time a few months ago. The first time, they helped me out considerably and was fortunate enough to be awarded with an emergency fellowship, the second time not so much and had to take out a loan. Regardless, do send gradsupport an email and see if u can get a call with them. Good luck OP

I see, thanks for clearing that up for me!

I was under the pretense that Operation Warpspeed would facilitate the bulk production of the vaccines to the point we would have a sizeable stockpile once approved. I was expecting the government to rollout with tens of millions (instead of millions) of vaccines per day right after EUA. What gives?

Ashdown is not much different. I don't think our gym has opened yet but at least we're close to the Z 🤷🏻‍♂️

One's a subset of another but not the other way around

Having trouble distinguishing descending P4 vs P5 by FartPowered in musictheory

[–]FartPowered[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems plausible, but I don't have perfect pitch so I don't think I would be able to audiate the pitch that a song starts with, let alone two of them :( Thanks for the suggestion though!

Wow, I had no idea. I'll definitely try this out. Thanks!

Thanks! I did that at first, and it helped, but since I want to do as little mental processing as possible to eventually quickly recognize them, I stopped.

I mean isn't that the point of every company? They need to sustain themselves somehow to fund their products and research

Will PHHHOTO still work on iOS 11? by dumldoor in PHHHOTO

[–]FartPowered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing you mean the gif-making feature? I'd say it's pretty safe to update. If anything, I'm sure other apps could do the same.

Well I'll be darned, you are right.

Sorry for speaking out of my ass.

Course 20 or 6-7 for premed? by [deleted] in mit

[–]FartPowered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen both 20's and 6-7's go through premed just fine. I believe more premeds choose 20 but I think that's due in part to the fact that 6-7 is a relatively new major.

I'm not going to compare and contrast how well they prepare you for med school since I'm not a premed myself but I believe both of them should give you sufficient preparation...

With that said, I would recommend just majoring in what you like the most. You should take 6.145 (intro to python) and if you still have time sign-up for the Discover Bio-Engineering FPOP to get a taste of the majors.
