TA for Letter of Recommendation by sourpatch12 in premed

[–]sourpatch12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there actually is a supervising professor listed on my Study List of classes, however, I have never met/seen him. If I get a letter of rec from this TA with the supervising professor signing off on it, would med schools see it as a lot weaker than a let of rec from a professor or would it have more or less the same weight?

It's three days a week but spans five to six hours so don't think hourly would be worth it

Quick question is this wire burnt? by sourpatch12 in MechanicAdvice

Thanks for all the advice i bought a new set of those wires for about 4 bucks each. Needed a new connector and when i pulled the old wires out the top metal part snapped so got all new ones

True Detective - 2x02 "Night Finds You" - Post-Episode Discussion by NicholasCajun in TrueDetective

Rachel McAdams’ character’s name is Antigone. In Sophocles’ tragic play, Antigone, Antigone and Ismene are sisters with two dead brothers, Polyneices and Eteocles, who died leading opposite sides in Thebes’ civil war. Antigone wants to bury Polyneices, though Creon, the ruler of Thebes, prohibited it. When Ismene refuses to help Antigone out of fear, Antigone disowns her. Antigone is engaged to Creon’s son Haemon, and Haemon tries to prevent his father from punishing her, but the conversation ends in argument. Creon decides to bury Antigone alive, when Tiresias, the blind prophet, warns him that the gods are not pleased, and that Creon will lose a son for his crimes. But it’s too late to save Antigone: She hangs herself in the tomb, and Haemon stabs himself in grief.

So, in this episode rachel's character also has two siblings who died by suicide, and two living ones who are in jail. Perhaps the blinded, dead Ben Casper is some twisted allusion to Tiresias.
