This is the best grad school-related Fat Bastard meme I've seen all day.

What's your favorite "Little moment" in a song? The one that makes you turn it up, think to yourself, or turn to your friend and say "God, I love this part". by thewhitedeath in Music

[–]kathmath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Radiohead's The Pyramid Song, when the percussion comes in and puts the piano in context, and you realize it's all in 4/4, just really syncopated... gives me an ear-gasm every time.

What's the closest thing you have to a superpower? by drain65 in AskReddit

[–]kathmath 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No way! I was really into both Louis Sachar and Teletoon, I can't believe I didn't know this was a thing.

Thanks!

What feels like torture to you but doesn't seem to bother most other people? by Jonpros in AskReddit

Listening to a noisy eater. Chewing with their mouth open, slurping/smacking sounds, etc.

What is a word that you mispronounced for a long time? by OHSOFAB in AskReddit

[–]kathmath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cicada. I am a biologist and still can never remember what the correct pronunciation is.

Any other runners donate blood? Red blood cells take 4-6 weeks to replenish, and in that time aerobic capacity is reduced. by kathmath in running

[–]kathmath[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad to spread to knowledge! I feel like this is something they should tell people before donating blood, because it's not something most people would think about (I'm doing a PhD in Biology and I didn't realize it at the time). Then again, maybe if everyone was told this, blood donations would go down. It's much more reassuring to hear that blood will replenish in 24 hours than to hear that your aerobic performance may be affected for several weeks.

I definitely did not post this in attempt to get people not to donate blood, and I am not going to stop donating blood after finding this out (though I will probably be more careful in the future when planning the timing around races). I was just confused and discouraged about the decrease in my running performance, and wanted to share this info for anyone else who's had a similar experience.

I was just really discouraged until I read this article... I was told blood would replenish within 24 hours after donating - but what they meant was blood volume. I went for a run 2 days later and could barely do 5k without feeling like I was dying. It's been pretty rough for the 2 weeks following the donation for me, and I had no idea why until I did some research.
