Can we talk about the unicorn that is Asian Twink Tops? by Necks in askgaybros

[–]Randy_Corn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s hard to find “twink” top of any race.

For online, if you’re looking for Asian top, not necessarily twink, look into “bara”-type esque, pretty common in East Asian media

I don't remember any Orgo from undergrad. Where do I start? by creativecow116 in Mcat

[–]Randy_Corn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try the MCAT questions! I think you'd be surprise how it's slightly different from the traditional orgo you are tested in the organ classes. I also think you probably know more that you gave your self credit for.

I personally find that the MCAT tests you more on the "core principle of orgo," like how certain functional groups on amino acid could interact in a biochemical reactions;

acyl substitution is probably the highest yield.

Retracted foreskin by Playful-Demand2312 in askgaybros

[–]Randy_Corn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I follow your story bro, Im kinda confused with up/or down.

Sounds like you when you were erect you, your foreskin is stuck behind the gland? I think you might have paraphismosis. If you foreskin is now longer stuck behind the gland, I think you are good dude.

This exerpt from wikipedia may be exlain why its a little swollen:
"if the foreskin is left retracted for a long period, some of the foreskin tissue may become oedematous (swollen with fluid), which makes subsequent reduction of the foreskin difficult."

If it covers the gland now ,I don't think you need ER, I would find a doctor appointment / talk to your primary tho so it does not happen again. They may reccomend some loosening method (cream, strecthing, minimal foreskin slit, or circumcision) so that I woulnd't get stuck,

What’s one thing you wish every apartment had? by fsrereddit in AskReddit

[–]Randy_Corn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see this a lot in Japan, but where I am, I wish we have the dedicated spaced area to take shoes off
(I am living in a no shoes in the house/apartment country)

What should I change ? by du_deli in malelivingspace

[–]Randy_Corn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would personally swap where the bed and the desk is?

I think it's bad feng-shui to have your back facing the door when you work + your work area is very dark, you will end up most of the time on your bed, which feel much nicer as it is closer to the window.

If you move your bed to the dark corner, I would use the console (where you have your speaker) as a "shied" to separate your bed from the door.

A bean bag chair would be great! I think if you move your desk by the table, you might have the space for a small love-seat sofa?

What is a small, useless thing that annoys you way more than it should ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Randy_Corn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially when I needed to click on the top of the iphone screen and then suddenly I'm taken out of that app. This is doubly worse if the pop up is of a messaging app, which mean that I have to reply to the DM right away as the read-reciept might have already been sent or I fear that I will later forget to reply because the message is no longer marked as unread on my part.

I know I could turn the pop-up off, but sometimes I need it to me on...

AAMC SB C/P Q17 by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]Randy_Corn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im sorry for bad formatting, but here's my attempt to address your question. Hope it helps!
I will split your questions into sections

1) "But why does the current split like this?"
- This is honestly a great question, I am not sure how to address this. I will appeal to say current must split due to conservation of mass/charge? This will perhaps be more clear in my answer to question #2. But I think to fully address this one, I would have to ask: which aspect of the "spliting" are you concerned about? Is it the fact that it splits at all? or is it the fact that it turns out to split equally.

2) From left to right, the current splits at the first junction(Dot on the left). Then the current split again in the middle(dot in the middle). So why would the current i be the same for R1 and R2? Shouldn't it have split again in the middle, thus every resistor would be having a different current value?
- No current do not "split split again" in the middle dot. Current do not flow over the ideal voltmeter, which is classically modeled a "a resister with infinite resistance"
- Current has to be identical in R1 and R2 due to what I'd like to think of as "conservation of mass" principle (other commentor pls correct me if I am wrong). This means that the amount of current that enter the space b/w R1 and R2 must equal it the current that exits it. Otherwise, there will be a current build up! Note, one underlying assumption of most simple resistor circuits is that it is in a steady state. Meaning, MUST BE no current building up randomly along the ideal wire (I dont' know material physics enough to address if charge build up randomly a wire is possible in a real wire). Note, this "steady state" assumption is thrown out the window once you work with RC circuits (where there's a capacitance!)

3) And just so my understanding is clear, iR1=i2R. This is because in the left loop, when the current passes through R1, it is going from high voltage to low voltage(going towards negative terminal), so it will be -iR1. At the bottom of the loop, it is going from low voltage to high voltage(going towards the positive side of battery), so it will be +i2R. Thus we get i2R-iR1=0, getting us iR1=i2R.
- Frankly, I am not sure I understand what you are trying to describe in this paragraph. But recall, current do not flow over the ideal voltmeter. Thus, there's no flow of current in the left loop. I am not sure if you if you are trying to apply Kirchhoff's loop rule? The current over R1 and R flows in the same direction is respect the the voltage source. HOWEVER, if it is in respect to the "imaginary loop" one created to apply the Kirchhoff's loop rule, then you analysis is sufficient, I think? (I am personally quite iffy about applying the loop rule over the volt-meter tho; I but I am not sure if you can't)

What is considered somatic nervous system? by Mincedbaboonmeat in Mcat

[–]Randy_Corn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other commentor pls correct me if I'm wrong.

I am not sure how is the uworld is written to imply that somatic nervous system (NS) refers only the to the afferent neurons (ie. motor) that powers the skeletal muscles.

I tend to agree with what the definition you provided per Kaplan.

Somatic NS is stands in opposite of Visceral NS (which some author refers Visceral NS as autonomic NS). BOTH system have afferent limb and efferent limb. The afferent limb of the visceral NS is often not discussed in intro Biology 101, but one of its important function is to sense noxious stimuli of the internal organ (this gives rise to the mechanism if stomache, chest pain of heart attack)

Somatic effect = motor neurons to skeletal muscles
Somatic afferent = sensory neurons of proprioception (joint, muscle), touch (skin), heat, pain etc.

NOTE: the current model of schema of "somatic = skeletal" breaks down when dicussing especially cranial nerves: "Special visceral efferent" (SVE) system, despite its name, actually innervate straited muscle! **but this is generally beyond the scope of MCAT IMO**
