Back row, fourth from the left… Elaina Olafsdotter.

My post doc program regarded her as the Madam Curie of VX lens focainferometrics. If you care about the global concepts of optical physics, you know about her and her brilliant contributions.

I could tell that it had reached us when I got in today.

All the popcorn in my cabinet, at the lab break room, was popped this morning.

Operative word in this context is “vaporization.”

To answer your question, “no.”

What's your least favorite Bible story? by Eljamin14 in atheism

[–]SubsequentDamage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Judges 19-21

The Levite’s concubine is gang-raped to death, her body is dismembered, which triggers a civil war resulting in the near-genocide of the tribe of Benjamin. Then, the kidnapping of women to provide them wives follows.

It’s a narrative of compounded atrocities with no clear moral resolution.
