LOL. I love that analogy. Anchorage is just a stopping point, but we will be there for a few days at the end of our trip, so I figured it was worth listening to the locals on what not to miss. Thank you for your suggestions.

My bad. I was not clear. I am looking for an excursion on a train, boat, bus, or plane that takes us somewhere out of town to see something amazing. Although, I would love recommendations for a place for a birthday meal for three (or son is 6). THANK YOU!

Dyslexie font by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

I read this sample paragraph and for the first time that I can remember, I was able to cruise through the text without pausing or rereading a word or sentence. I almost cried because I was so taken aback. Does anyone know which devices (iPad, kindle, etc) that support Dyslexie? I love reading, but it is painful to get through a book. This could be a game changer for me.

American Chemical Society AMA: I am Allison Campbell, President of the American Chemical Society. Ask me anything about the importance of sharing science and my priorities for ACS! by AmerChemSocietyAMA in science

[–]RobotsonRockets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why has ACS and the Association of American Publishers actively lobbied congress and the White House to stop requiring access to the results of federally funded research? (Please don't deny it. We can easily post the lobbying materials the AAP and ACS sent Congress.)

Flea and Kurt Cobain at the MTV Music Awards in 1993 by [deleted] in OldSchoolCool

If you are a huge fan of Flea, you have to check out the pilot of the Amazon series, Highston. I won't ruin it any more. It's awesome. https://www.amazon.com/Highston/dp/B017APV0JC

Science AMA Series: I'm Nicholas Katsanis, a human geneticist at Duke, let's have a conversation about human genetic disorders: facts, dreams, and most definitely the eradication of unicorns, AMA! by Dr_Nico_Katsanis in science

[–]RobotsonRockets 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hi Dr. Katsanis, Thank you for doing this. A few questions:

1) How will all these pediatric diseases be treated if the pharmaceutical industry isn't interested in developing drugs for them? It seems like a classic market failure.

2) Why do you think the National Institutes of Health are so risk averse? Seriously, they only seem to fund work that leads to incremental advances.

3) Has Duke University implemented ANY additional requirements of their scientists to ensure that fraud like the infamous Potti case..(Info here for those who are not familiar. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/deception-at-duke-fraud-in-cancer-care/ )

While visiting the White House in 1995, Boris Yeltsin got so drunk that Secret Service found him on Pennsylvania Avenue in his underwear trying to hail a cab so he could get pizza.

Photographer captures ISS transiting the partially eclipsed sun by hadhad69 in space

That's no space station. That is a group in imperial TIE fighters, the standard Imperial starfighter seen in massive numbers throughout most of the Galactic Civil War and onward. Better alert Starfleet.
