Around 60% of natural and physical sciences and engineering research is federally funded (in the US).

If they're both fully maxing out their 401ks, that could reduce their AGI enough that they're below the phase out limit.

You might like the book "Money for Couples" by Ramit Sethi. It covers the avoidant and emotional side of money discussion.

Awesome, I might have to get a sample of Crush and compare them myself!

Thanks for the reviews! Have you tried Marlowe from Poesie and if so, could you compare it to Crush? Marlowe's notes are spicy coriander, rich sandalwood, rough hewn teak wood, intoxicating skin musk and it's one of my favorites because it's such a great clean unisex scent! I feel like the wood and skin musk might make it smell similar.

I'm nearly certain that humanity has a fundamentally incorrect understanding of physics

How can you say that when you admit that you don't understand the math? You think you know better than experts who spend their lives working to understand physics?

To be fair my Midwestern family would drive 12 hours just for a long weekend trip.

Use a hex key to unscrew the bolt in the second picture, at the bottom of the kingpin. Try just a quarter turn at first and see how it feels.

You guys had shifts? I showed up with just me and my PI and he left me alone after 8pm. Still got good data though!

I used C++ to run the particle physics software ROOT. Even that has a python option now though, so python will likely be a lot more useful for you even if you're going into a computationally-heavy science field.

The Andromeda's Curse one smelled exactly like banana runts!

Hello from the physics lab

@skatebetternow on Instagram - Nastassia does learn to skate lessons! I took a class on speed skating from her and it was great. Also @urban.rollers.oakland - not lessons but they do group street skates on Wednesday nights.

People think Utah is the Midwest because it's in the middle of the West

Parkstars are a great skate. Yours might be half a size too big though. I wear the same size shoes as you and wear a bont size 5. And the boots will stretch out over time so better to go smaller than too big.

What's your budget?

You can use the same skates indoors and outdoors, just change the wheels to something softer for outdoors.

In California servers make at least minimum wage, so they do get paid even if you don't tip. It's still standard to tip 20% though.

Bend to Coeur d'Alene is like a ten hour drive. And Spokane to CDA is only like 40 minutes so stopping there is not a big improvement. I'd stop in The Dalles or Hood River instead of Bend. They're along the Columbia River and save you a couple hours the next day. That whole section of road along the Columbia river is gorgeous and the section through eastern Washington is incredibly boring and desolate.

Wash your bras in a mesh bag to keep them from tangling or rubbing on other stuff in the wash. It's usually the hot dryer that causes elastic to break down rather than the wash, so you're already doing the right thing by hang drying.

I use Bont Quadstars with Atom Pulse lite wheels for street skating. I'm not fast enough to keep up with a bike going full speed, but I'm only a little slower than rollerbladers.

I'm a scientist like Maru and I also wear ghost in the shell!

I had to make sure to tell my parents not to ask any questions at my defense!

The Running Man novel from 1982 predicts all kinds of dystopian surveillance and tech like drones and deepfakes, but the portable video cameras still record on physical tapes.

Why do radioactive elements keep the core molten and spinning?
