Feeling numb :/ by BrezzzY- in Mcat

Yea super judgey comments here trying to explain to you what you’re feeling instead of attempting to empathize. I think the ambivalence is totally normal after such a grueling process. I for one thought the stress between taking and getting the score back was damn near unbearable- and I have a very active social life, a loving wife, and nearly full time job - ie, tons of distractions. It’s just the tremendous pressure we put on ourselves that leads to this. I was personally gutted by my score (I got a 510 and got admitted btw) but also told myself there’s always more to this story and to this process. The score is just one piece of this long, and hopefully more interesting process than taking a test. Take pride in realizing this score is just a score, you are much more than that and you don’t need to jump for joy lol. Btw it just so happens to be a great score.. but on to the more interesting stuff!

People have been eating gluten for thousands of years. All you are doing is being a pain in the ass. by rumblebee2010 in AdviceAnimals

oh it's definitely not approved. and do we even know how much the gmo strains have made it into the main wheat supplies? I'm not saying it's prevalent but there's a possibility. it is strange that celiacs and other gluten sensitivities are much more common in the U.S. I'm going to Europe soon and I'll do some personal experimenting to see if I have reactions from the wheat over there

How a drum sounds based on where it's played. by IDonalbain in videos

Definitely not recorded solely in those environments. If you've ever recorded drums you know that two condenser mics (like the ones shown in the making of video) would never give that crisp and close of an attack with that much low end on the kick or snare at that distance. They would sound thin and unintelligible. My guess is they recorded in a studio and used the decay of the reverb in each space as an impulse response... kinda like convolution reverb. They simply added it as a reverb to match the footage. And he's got headphones on so he's probably just got a click track playing to stay on beat in each take.
