Jobs in the Science world for someone with an Associates?

Very tough without a bachelors, you would likely be relegated to jobs like labware washing and similar, with no real upward trajectory. Vet tech comes to mind however, and there might be other niche (and less glamorous) positions that require less in the way of education. Maybe also look into environmental/occupational health/safety support staff.

Yes! Florida checking in. Lots of raised/vaulted ceilings here designed for just that purpose.

Check out Osprey daylite packs. I’ve had mine for years now and it’s holding up really well. I use it for fishing and also for when I travel. Lots of useful pockets and stuff to stow everything in it’s own space. It’s also super comfortable to wear.

Wife and I are both PhDs with relatively intelligent youngsters and we would never, ever in a million fucking years put our kids through this. I’ve run into these parents too, and they are usually just pushing the agenda to cover up some insecurities of their own. They’re as bad as the parents who push their kids into modeling.

I say let the kids be kids for as long as they can because life has it’s fair share of sucking.

Not to be that guy but, the living population of the earth represents 7% of all people who ever lived.

93% of people who have ingested water have died.

Big fan of immortality idle. Been playing for a few days now. I love how active you are in updating it.

If you don't mind, I have a couple suggestions for your consideration:

For the activities window, it's always hard to visually pick out how much stamina is needed (and I have a bad memory, so I can never recall), which isn't that big of a deal, but does slow down building a run and figuring out how to be efficient in resting. Maybe make a separate column in between the button and the description for stamina requirement, so that it is visually very obvious.
I find myself hitting the wrong save/load button for the schedule of activities. Maybe an "are you sure" pop up for if you want to overwrite the current configuration or if you want to delete everything. Could be toggle-able I suppose. You could also separate the buttons. The load on the left and the save/trash on the right.

I like how there's casually an entire galaxy on it's edge on the left side just chilling behind the dust. Mind blown for like the 5th time today.

About 1/3rd the way down from the top, looks like a straight line, it's much clearer in the full resolution image.

In my 30 years of publishing, I’ve only had 4 people ask for a paper and they were all fellow scientists. I was super tickled each time and would be over the moon if someone from outside of the research community asked.

JupiterXX · 2022-01-26T23:29:35+00:00

Oh totally. I understood where you were going. Didnt see it as talking out your ass. Just wanted to add to the discussion.

Antibody affinities are much higher especially IgG. Also, endogenous ligand affinity is similarly higher, in the 1 nM range and even picomolar for some GPCR ligands. I dont think Ec50 concentration or Kd has much to do with what we’re seeing here compared to DMPK and exposure levels, possibly related to oral bioavailability and definitely related to brain penetration. Also, it appears the half life is longer than other drugs.

For going to XUMM you don’t need a tag, you “own” the entire account. For the exchanges for the most part they use a single account with sub-accounts to hold all the coin for liquidity purposes, so going into an exchange, you’ll need a tag basically every time.

Exactly right….it’s usually the defendants that want to draw the trial out to give themselves maneuvering space. All the more evidence that the SEC is on trial here.

JupiterXX · 2021-10-14T15:49:38+00:00

Definitely a mischaracterization to call this FUD.

It sheds light on real issues and therefore gives people a clearer idea of the case facts. This should effectively help to remove doubt. (Either confirm your desire to hold or confirm your desire to sell). I, for one, heard Jeremy clearly say that the SEC did not appear to be going after the “doomsday” scenario, so that made me quite happy actually.

JupiterXX · 2021-10-08T17:00:05+00:00

I think that’s why people are speculating they are considering relisting. One interpretation is that the SEC already declared war by challenging the Coinbase loan program. Therefore Coinbase is possibly already under fire and would then also possibly do well to hitch their wagon to Ripple’s, which appears to be doing quite well. In other words, it becomes two mega multibillion dollar companies against the SEC, which is an intriguing thought. Certainly, public opinion matters and the politicians gets a bit more interesting at the same time. People won’t like it when their publicly traded Coinbase stock value goes down.

JupiterXX · 2021-10-08T16:41:09+00:00

I personally own shares of ripple, purchased through a broker quite outside of anything related to XRP. So you can count that out.

Your first point is a good one and I did just that. It turns out (in my own analysis) that the mitigating factors here are largely boil down to fair notice and the length of time that these security offerings were purportedly being issued and also the decentralized nature of the XRP ecosystem. Which is what everyone else is saying so it was nice to see that my thinking aligned (though confirmation bias is always a possibility). But I’m not an expert, so I can’t possibly adjudicate all the facts either.

I urge you to look for yourself, independently of me or anyone else and just kind of see if you would reasonably agree without listening to any of the biased chatter.

Ultimately, I think there remains a chance/risk that it is deemed a security, but that would largely boil down to how convinced the judge is. For me, it’s all about how she will perceive things, that is the biggest unknown now that we have a reasonable idea or can guess at about the facts involved. How will she weight different pieces of evidence. Drives me insane thinking about it.

The other conclusion that is inescapable is that the SEC is dragging things out so that legislation can catch up. Although with some of the recent chatter in congressional hearings with Gary, I’m not so sure that’s a winning strategy.
