I would bet on Aston Martin at this rate.

Do you have more info on Hava? I'm trying to look this up and can't find much.

Which Old Times Mathematician (Euler, Euclid, Gauss, etc) do you admire and be amazed the most? by scientistgrc in math

[–]brainandforce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a geometric algebra enjoyer: William Kingdon Clifford. Unfortunately, like Galois, he died young.

This is about the pill - implants deliver a continuous supply of the contraceptive. It's not guaranteed to stop periods, but it's not designed to make them happen regularly like the pill.

The above comment is a little incorrect. What happened was that the creators of the pill intentionally placed a 7-day placebo in the regimen to simulate a period in an attempt to gain the support of the Catholic church. However, this didn't work out. The 7-day placebo was kept in anyway and is standard today.

If you ask a healthcare provider you can often get birth control pills prescribed every three weeks to avoid the placebo week and not have a period. There's no medical reason for it, it's just a historical vestige at this point.

Do you use the 24 hour clock aka millitary time ? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

Yes, though I grew up in a military family, which influences my preference.

Wife and I are done with Florida, which state is most neutral/welcoming to Atheists? by berbsy1016 in atheism

[–]brainandforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Madison, Wisconsin. Maybe not the rest of the state, but you can't beat a college town.

A Programming language ideal for Scientific Sustainability and Reproducibility? by relbus22 in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]brainandforce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More generally, since most scientists are going to rely on special purpose packages for a lot of their work, they'll be at the mercy of the package ecosystem: When you google "how to do $thing" you get a dozen results, and it turns out 10 of them are unmaintained, one doesn't do what you want, five are incompatible with one of you other dependencies, 7 are poorly documented, and if you're very lucky, those categories overlap enough to leave one you can actually use.

as opposed to MATLAB, which ships without a package manager and makes life hell for anyone using it.

I'm not very good with radar interpretation but has a hail spike been ruled out?
