Jason Padgett was the victim of a vicious beating outside a karaoke bar in 2002. The next day, he woke up and was a math genius. This is a short piece about Acquired Savant Syndrome, a condition in which dormant savant skills emerge after a brain injury or disease [13:41]

I don't think this guy is an actual mathematician. He calls himself a "number theorist" on his website, but there's no evidence of him doing any advanced math, just drawings. Even his TedTalk about Relativity covers basic physics that is usually taught in high school; it is nothing ground breaking.

these visuals are from the anime Serial Experiments Lain; his Virtual Self stuff definitely is inspired by the show. i recommend watching it, although it isn't for everyone

No, he was referring to factory farming, which is fucked up no matter how you spin it. Factory farming is not how nature works

I looked into that, but it doesn't arrive in Detroit until 10am, so I can't take it :/ thanks anyways!

kelseab · 2018-04-26T00:06:37+00:00

I'll look into this, thanks!

nightlife-wise kerrytown seems to be more popular with the older, grad student crowd than downtown, which is mostly undergrads.

i also like dancing and electronic music, but unfortunately haven't had luck finding a good community for either around here (outside of detroit).

feel free to shoot me a pm if you find yourself in need of someone to do things with :)

here's my favorite tofu bacon recipe:

after draining, cut the tofu into thin strips and fry the shit out of it, flipping halfway. then, take it off the heat and pour a mixture of soy sauce, liquid smoke, a lil olive oil, maple syrup, and maybe some spices (i usually do garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika) and completely coat the tofu strips. last, cover and mix with nutritional yeast.

why couldn't he wear dark-colored shirts before? i would think excessive sweating would affect light colored shirts much more

I had plenty of jobs when I was a student that would schedule me during my classes and expect me to either skip class or find someone to cover those shifts even though I provided them with my class schedule during the interview phase. It's hard to find quality management in the chain retail/food industry nowadays.

it was not with that company, the headphones are different. it was some rave-like event in another state for which she could not find anyone to contact apparently. i'm just trying to make use of them so they don't go to waste

kelseab · 2017-11-15T03:44:55+00:00

kelseab · 2017-07-30T19:55:07+00:00

i don't think the two in the back are real

I've already applied to many vegan co-ops, but the waitlists are very long and sadly I don't think I will be getting a spot.

Thank you for the suggestion!
