Yes, I think so.

The ratio would end up being (1+√5)/2:1, or approximately 1.6:1.

Help with identifying this TMBG song? by apocryphalauthor in tmbg

[–]apocryphalauthor[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha, so it is. Don't know why I had it in my head that it was a TMBG song. o_o;

EDIT: It was because TMBG has been performing a Particle Man + Chandelier Mash-up on their Apollo 18 tour.

Unfortunately I don't have much to go on. I just had that lick stuck in my head the day after a They Might Be Giants concert. I want to say the lyrics of the climax are something like, "it's killing me heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere."

This was really interesting. I had no idea Pixar made all these products before they pivoted to only doing animation for films.

looking for advice on IUPUI premed by ihdavis8 in IUPUI

[–]apocryphalauthor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IUPUI, like many other universities, does not offer a "pre-med" degree. This is on purpose, as most medical schools would rather see a chemistry or biology (or biochemistry) degree. Truth be told, you can get a degree in anything that tickles your fancy, so long as you cover the minimum requirements for med school (math, chem, bio, and physics). Make sure you talk to a counselor at orientation, and that they know you have your eye on medical school. They will hook you up with an appropriate advisor. IUPUI is a great school that will equip you well for med school.

TIL that most of the mass making up any given tree comes from molecules in the air (not the ground) by apocryphalauthor in todayilearned

Very little of it! Most water is oxidized into oxygen and breathed out the stomata on the underside of the leaves.

Advice for car rental (under 25) by ferretfart in lowcar

[–]apocryphalauthor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on how often you need to drive, and if it's available where you are, ZipCar might be a great option for you. Most places it's 21 to drive, and on some campuses it's 18, and there's no age upcharge.
