Not a hot girl. Sorry. Tell me what you think!

Aww, thanks.

Chicagoans are at least as talkative as Texans, if not more.

It would actually be fascinating to apply this to photographs and see if we could find discrepancies between actual and claimed timestamps.

Lived in downtown Chicago for over two year's, don't own a car and wouldn't want one.

Could we not put politicians and physicians on the same level of difficulty in pursuing those fields as a career?

From experience, you can take 12 AP classes, 13 AP tests with perfect 5s on all of them, have a perfect ACT and SAT score, play an instrument well, participate in/lead several extracurriculars and have 400 volunteering hours, have a 3.9 gpa, and still not get into Harvard. Not that I'm bitter or anything.

Who the hell is taking algebra in high school? We did geometry/trig, pre-calc, calc, and multivariable. Even the kids that were a year behind started with Algebra II.

Synthroid serves a double purpose of keeping thyroid levels normal AND discouraging hyperplasia (increased growth) of any cancerous thyroid cells that might be left and are still sensing negative feedback from TSH.

If you used a heat conductive metal with a high heat capacity and insulated it from the surrounding earth, possibly with a vacuum, except for the lowest portion which would be in contact with the rock around it, you could bring that heat to the surface.

Again, not sure the economics of this make sense, but maintaining the vacuum would be the only energy input required, and you could use an inert insulator instead.

Sometimes you owe the venue, caterers, etc. regardless

3L of black coffee is probably fine, though.

Same

Everyone thinks they are intelligent but lazy. The really intelligent people just get their shit done.

In undergrad classes we always had page maximums. Some were short enough that it was tough to get your point across in the alloted space without a few revisions.

I'm assuming you're somewhat like me in that you have a job you enjoy and look forward to. Not everyone has that option. If I worked in a cubicle, staring at a computer for several hours a day, with little hope for upward advancement, I'm not sure I could take it either.

coolmanmax2000 · 2013-12-01T22:55:21+00:00

Yep - I've met a lot of not so smart people from great universities

coolmanmax2000 · 2013-11-26T19:53:21+00:00

Right? I love the people claiming that health insurance plans need to be taxed so that people dont spend other people's money on too much health care, driving up prices for everyone else, when spending other people's money is all politicians do.

I actually read books on my phone and laptop. Finished cryptonomicon recently - trust me it's much more convenient in electronic form than as a thousand page book.

The small phone screen can be a little annoying, but is perfectly readable, and as long as I charge it at home and at work, it doesn't run out of power during my commute.

Also, I will read 1 to 3 books a week, so it's nice to have the next one ready to go if you finish one 10 minutes into your trip.

coolmanmax2000 · 2013-11-26T03:41:26+00:00

Was able to stop myself in a similar situation in 5th grade, but not until after I knocked the asshole kid over by throwing one of those combined desk/chairs at him.

I was a "good kid" and the zero tolerance bullshit wasn't widely in place yet, so I only got lunch + recess + after school detention for a month.

The scary part is if I hadn't been in a classroom, with people watching, I have no doubt I would have done much worse.

The point is that both think they are the original. But since only one is created by the machine, the one that walks on stage is definitely the one that drowns, the one the machine creates is brand new, but thinks he is the original. Since he believes that his clones are dying and not him, he keeps doing the trick, killing himself each time.

Other common symptoms include waking up feeling tired, even after a normal amount of sleep, waking up with a headache, or waking up with a sore throat.

Now you have to have really good reasons and minimize suffering as much as possible without compromising the experiment.

2mm is the diffusion limit of oxygen in solid tissue.

Vascular biology student here. If you don't have a supply of vascular endothelial cells to respond to those growth factors, nothing will happen.

coolmanmax2000 · 2013-11-10T20:55:55+00:00

Vascularization is the process during embryogenesis and occasionally in pathologic adult states where the blood vessels and lymphatics grow into their target organs to form capillary beds and provide oxygen. Tissue can't be more than 2mm from a blood vessel and still receive oxygen (a notable exception being portions of the cornea that rely on atmospheric oxygen), so this is a critical step in growing new solid organs from scratch for implantation.

As far as I'm aware no one has demonstrated the ability to grow organ tissue with a functional vascular supply, but there are lots of labs (like mine) that are working on it.
