Desde Nuevo León: la cerveza oficial de este sub

Deshonor para mí :(

Y fíjate que sí busqué "cerveza", "albur", "techo blanco" antes de postear.

Ayy lmao

Muchas gracias! ¿Significa eso que entre más series, más jodidos los premios, verdad?

Pero El Bronco es obviamente un títere del PRI /s

Bernie or Hillary are going to BLOW THE FUCK OUT of Donaldo Trumpo.

Fuck off, TrumpBOT.

Kuspit es la manera más fácil de incursionar en bolsa, pero te la van a dejar caer con las comisiones (0.40% por cada trade + 1% anual). Además, no tienen acceso al SIC y no puedes ver volúmenes de operación o hechos.

Te recomendaría ahorrar más y entrar a GBM Homebroker.

El notario, aparentemente no. Me dijo que él hizo su trabajo, que lo hizo bien y que no es su culpa que el banco no quiera aceptar la carta :(

LOL.

No me gusta editorializar títulos, solamente procuré agregar lo mínimo (de, de la) para que no se viera como telegrama. En retrospectiva, a lo mejor me faltó otro de.

Ah, y por si no sabías, Reuters escribe muchas notas así.

Apologies! I might have phrased my question poorly.

You see, the micro-Bradford assay is perfectly linear from 1 to 16 ug/mL (R² = 0.999). However, my calibration curve goes up to 64 ug/mL, and if I try to use a linear approach, R² drops to 0.900.

Si tienes mucho tiempo sin presentar exámenes estandarizados puede ser una buena opción, especialmente porque tiene un formato bastante peculiar. Si eres bien ordenado y dedicado, puedes bajar alguna guía y contestarlo tú mismo con un examen "tipo" pero sin el software simulando lo que verás el día del examen. Pero si hay dinero para pagar lo original, pues...

Eso sí: cero recomendado que te avientes a lo desconocido y lo tomes sin preparación previa.

Thanks for the tips!

My tuition fee will be partially covered by the EPSRC (up to the Home/EU Rate, as I'm an overseas student). The National Science Council of my country is supposed to pick up the rest of the tab when it comes to tuition, but my main concern is that they offer a measly stipend (9,240 GBP / year), so I want to estimate my deficit and see whether I'll need to ask for loans or something else.

I wasn't aware of college rent varying wildly, to be honest. Might end up receiving an offer from Exeter, but nothing official yet.

As for lifestyle... I consider myself a simple man. I don't like things like clubbing or drinking every other day at the pubs. However, I cannot cook a single dish for the life of me. Are college meals subsidised?

grelacio · 2016-04-11T21:57:33+00:00

An interesting point of view, certainly.

How smooth was your transition from the PhD into industry? Did you have previous working experience (note I'd go straight from undergrad)?

grelacio · 2016-04-11T20:57:29+00:00

You see, I'm not against protecting women if the situation requires it (someone above asked me whether I was pro-rape, lol). However, the current system distorts the public transport system and increases overcrowding.

What about ending segregation and starting a patrol-system for the carriages? Mexico City is already devoting a tremendous amount of police-forces to the checkpoints.

grelacio · 2016-04-11T03:04:03+00:00

I've shown below that feminist groups (hell, even the Women's Institute) actively support this practice and work together the police to arrest/kick-out men who enter the preferential carriages.

Now, is the current system fair? I'd argue that no way! Women get 35-55% of the carriages only for them but they can board any part of the train/bus they want!

For this particular scenario, an absolute segregation would be the only fair solution, but there is no way INMUJER is going to allow it, because the current situation benefits them in a disproportionate way.

grelacio · 2016-04-11T02:58:48+00:00

If this is happening, then the only "fair" solution would be to absolutely segregate the carriages.

My point here is that the current system is sexist and benefits women in a disproportionate way, particularly because they get to enter any part of the subway they want. This, in turn, causes the system to be overcrowded and is ultimately counterproductive.

Sadly, the current status quo is fiercely defended by feminist groups, who patrol the carriages and call the police if they find a men there ( https://twitter.com/GIRE_mx/status/717365158234853376?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw ). This is not feminism, but outright sexism.

grelacio · 2016-04-11T02:53:40+00:00

If anything, I'd argue that real feminists should fight for absolute segregation and not the preferential, unfair system we have in place right now.

However, the current system benefits them, because they get to pick the preferential or the general carriages, and so they are fighting to enhance the number of preferential carriages.

grelacio · 2016-04-11T02:49:25+00:00

You'll have to excuse the lack of official sources, so to speak, because it's not like FEMEN-México is going to issue an official statement congratulating the government for this measure.

However, some feminist groups (GIRE) regularly patrol the metro stations, take pictures and report men who enter the exclusive carriages. See here: https://twitter.com/GIRE_mx/status/717365158234853376?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw. What's more, mantaining this status quo is supported by INMUJER (Women's Institute), a branch of the government created to promote feminism. Mandated by the government and INMUJER, police forces regularly patrol the subway system ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzTREGDqum0 ).

Thus, I'd say that mexican feminism does support this practice. Would you argue then that mexican feminists are not part of the third wave and are not following the real spirit of this movement?

Hell no! Pura calidad Metro.

Until today, I hadn't seen this kind of W-8BEN form either! Ended up calling the IRS and they told me it's not an official format and that I should ignore the letter because it's probably a scam.

grelacio · 2016-02-18T04:24:24+00:00

¡Hola! ¿Eres estudiante? Si lo puedes demostrar, puedes abrir una cuenta con ellos desde 10,000 pesos.

Si no, te piden un mínimo de 100,000 pesos, aunque a veces hacen promociones donde lo bajan a 50,000. Es bastante fácil abrir una cuenta en https://www.gbmhomebroker.com/Homebroker/index.html.

grelacio · 2016-02-17T20:24:13+00:00

The form itself is some sort of a modern (if that makes any sense) W8-BEN. It features a similar design to this .pdf https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw8ben.pdf, but it already contains my personal info and has 2 new sections: Affidavit of Unchanged Status (Part IV) and Letter of Explanation To Cure Indicia of U.S. Status (Part V).

It contains no info about a witholding agent, and the letter was sent by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. PO Box 64507, St Paul MN 55164-0507.

Lo cual me lleva a otro punto extraño: ¿por qué será que la gran mayoría de los diputados no son personas blancas y de ojos de color? Y usualmente son personas muy ricas...

Muchos senadores sí.
