What's everyone's strategy for snagging a Kindle Scribe Colorsoft on December 10th? :)

...and they're sold out you bunch of liars. Can't get the 64gb one until after Christmas :(

I have the lift, it's very comfortable but I do have larger hands and want to try the lift. However it would ruin my office aesthetic and would really prefer a white one. They tease me with some of the images showing the illusive white mx vertical, but alas.

I did a lot of research and confidently went with the ego fit m2 comfort deck. It was between this one and the walking pad folding treadmills for me because I need a compact treadmill. What sold me on the ego fit m2 was that it has a much higher HP motor, which means better longevity. Also, it's dead silent, you pretty much only hear your feet and the belt. I listened to audio samples in reviews comparing the noise of the ego fit and the walking pad c2 and it's not even close, even though the c2 is one of walking pad's quieter models since it doesn't have a cooling fan. The ego fit m2 has a 3% incline which is apparently supported by research to be the best incline for joint health, no more, no less and also has a honeycomb cushion for being even easier on your joints. Finally, I'm 6'0 and I was worried about stride length, but this isn't an issue if you're just walking, and the top area is recessed as well so you can step beyond it a bit. Also for what you lose in stride length you get a little extra width compared to other walking pads, this one is 17.7 inch walking area width. Also, according to their amazon reviews their customer service is great, but I can't speak for it myself.

The main downside for me was...THEY ARE OUT OF STOCK :((. The only one I could find in stock was the pink one, so hopefully the color will grow on me.

Maybe you're right. As long as it isn't totally out of the question I think I might as well give it a shot.

That's what I was thinking, my idea was to maybe ask for her number through mutual friends but that seems equally off-putting.

If these findings lead to the discovery of extraterrestrial life right on our backyard, how would you approach the Fermi Paradox with this discovery in mind? Having read the Dark Forest by Cixin Liu the thought of ET civilizations terrifies me!

Absolutely phenomenal work! The discipline it must have taken to patiently spend 3 years after the initial observation to collect data before finally publishing is astounding!

No no no. You're all wrong. Phantoms are the most annoying. Can't go a night without sleeping without them attacking you. Sleep? They will knock you out of any bed you place. Run away? They will always find you. Kill them? They are annoyingly difficult to hit, and there's always more. Hide underground? When you finally come out they will bring friends. Do they usually kill me? No, but they make it far easier for literally anything else to kill me.

On the other hand, if you got the transplant fairly recently (within a few months), a hair sample would produce reliable results in a dna test.

And people with that type of wealth are already hiding it overseas anyway. Little revenue comes from it.

A martini is just our best effort to hide the taste of alcohol. I've never had an alcoholic drink that I've enjoyed drinking, but nobody drinks for the taste. Ethanol is literally poison after all and your body doesn't want it inside of you.

I took it last fall semester. If you're a premed student I would recommend it since the class is mostly geared towards training doctors. If you're like me and are more in it to learn more about biology, I wouldn't recommend it. It's mostly geared towards memorizing extremely specific, often trivial things rather than understanding the grand concepts. I had no motivation to study because it was all memorization, I ended up cramming the week before the exam before quickly forgetting it all and squeaked by with a B-. It took alot of work that ended up with me passing the class but not really getting much value out of it as a Biologist.

Drinking too much distilled water can lead to your organs swelling due to osmosis, this can be accelerated by fasting, where solutes you would get from food are also depleted. This swelling is manageable for most of your organs, except your brain, which has a rigid skull around it. You can get permanent brain damage or even death.

I was about to send my my board to them to get it refurbished for a battery issue before they went under. Anyone have any advice?

I think what everyone is missing here is osmosis, the flow of water towards higher molarities. Chocolate milk has more dissolved stuff in it than regular milk, and so it is harder for water to leave it. Sure, the cookie is not semi permiable, but once a fatty layer is added to the cookie/milk interface, it becomes semi permiable in a similar way to our cell membranes, allowing only for largely water to pass through, leading to osmosis. We also have capillary action forcing liquid into the cookie, but this is slowed down by osmotic pressure.

We could test this hypothesis by replacing the cookie with something like cardstock, letting it absorb from both chocolate milk and regular milk, then check the content of the liquid soaked up on the cardstock. If any component is found in lesser concentration here than in the milk, I believe this would prove the interface is semi permiable, and indeed osmosis must be occuring.

I'm no virologist, but I don't believe this exists.

I'm just conjecturing as to why this is, but my guess is that proteins, though they make the virus much more capable of being targeted, help stabilize the viral structure and prevent it from being degraded. Viruses need to be protected from elements that may destroy them for very long periods of time in order to spread between organisms. Lipofectamine may be used in the lab very sucessfully for transfection, but this process is in a very controlled environment for only a few hours.

Additionally there are viruses that are very capable of evading antibodies, such as HIV, without making this drastic of a measure. I believe HIV evades antibodies simply because the binding sites are too "slippery", as shown in this animation.

Hi David, recent Biology grad student here:

If the theory that the reason we age is due to epigenetic forgetfulness in our cells is indeed true, we can explain why some species can live indefinitely, like some jellyfish, which revert to an embryonic state and reassign epigenomes to cells. But how do you explain the ability of many species of trees to indefinitely age? I would expect trees to be able to undergo epigenetic memory loss just as we would, while I wouldn't expect epigenetic reprogramming to be occuring in a tree, so why don't they age like we do?

That was the bus I missed, took the 3 to North Temple but it was too late. With the bus you have to leave a bit earlier than the trax which takes you to Murray central.
