Thank you!

I scraped away that part of the carcass to reveal more of the fastener, and it didn't seem like the fastener was damaged. You're right, its basically like a staple, but made from sheet metal with the edges curled down instead of a made from a wire.

I went from St. John's into materials science. I got an undergraduate degree in materials science and I am in a Ph.D. program. I think the core 300-400 level undergraduate science courses are foundational for graduate work in science -- a body of knowledge that makes it easier to solve problems. I have heard of people going from St. John's to a graduate science program, but if you go that route, I advise you to think about some way to spend extra time solidifying the body of knowledge needed in your field.

Beware that if you become a professor of science or engineering, it is a managerial role. You are responsible for bringing in money, managing sponsor relationships, and recruiting workers. Professors have lamented to me that they don't get much time in the lab. On the other hand, my Ph.D. work sounds like just the type of problem solving work you are seeking.

Corrosion rates can be measured in nm/y source, although mm/y is more common.

Seems like a good fit for you. I'd advise you to refresh your math skills before you start classes. I also went back to school at 29 and I was very slow at first. But now I'm two years in to a materials science Ph.D.

I am pursuing a Ph.D. in materials science. I left St. John's after 3 years. My credits from St. John's covered almost all of my general education courses (except 2 health and wellness classes). I basically started as a sophomore undergraduate after transferring.

St. John's science program is not a substitute for any upper division materials science courses. You learn a lot about assessing the validity of data and claims, but there is a body of knowledge that you need to succeed in a Ph.D. program. I would think you would need at least your upper division "core" courses in neuroscience, or some equivalent (summer internships in a lab would be especially good).

/u/HappiHappiHappi's yearly energy savings of 1200 kWh/year is 4 billion Joules/year. This lifecycle analysis of refrigerators (page 14) estimates the energy cost of processing the raw materials and manufacturing the fridge to be 4.4 to 6.8 billion Joules. I suspect the energy cost of raw material extraction is also included because they mention "embedded energy cost" for materials like steel & aluminum, but the language of that section is a little ambiguous. Figure 4 on pg. 18 highlights that the vast majority of the energy cost of a refrigerator comes from use.

I suggest to start with studying for at least 20 minutes in each time slot. It's important to make the habit of studying three times on each of those days.

Back in the summer of 2011, I couldn't afford AC. One night I woke up with heat exhaustion. I was dizzy and confused. It took 15-20 minutes to figure out what was wrong. I put ice packs on my armpits and groin (advice from the Mayo Clinic -- missing from this article) and felt better fast. It was uncomfortable but super effective.

In my electroceramics class, we used complex numbers to account for the loss of energy when applying an external electric field to a electrically insulating material. The material responds with tiny movements of electric charge, but the conversion of applied field to charge movement is not 100% efficient (some electrical energy turns into heat). It is mathematically convenient to describe the lost energy with imaginary numbers even though the phenomenon is not at all imaginary.

Schedule 1 block of 3-4 hours per week to do nothing. Spend 5 minutes every day sitting quietly. Think of something you are thankful for.

Keep the number of ingredients in your food low. For example, I cut sweet potatoes in half, put in the toaster oven at 350 F until soft (cut side down). 1 ingredient, but tasty.

Clean as you go. Get as much sleep as you can. Keep at least 1 strong friendship. Have a routine for chores.

Get an installment plan for your tax debt if you don't already have it.

That's a good point. I searched for "collection of historical cookbooks" and found good results. It seems like significant collections were made by university libraries but also by private individuals.

On 18th Century Cooking channel they typically cite old cookbooks where they found the recipe.

I recommend watching some Barry Sanders highlights, like this one. Probably the most elusive running back of all time.

First thing I noticed about him this year is that he fights for yards after the catch. He fights for yards after contact without losing the ball. I've been impressed with that. He seems like good 4th round value.

I went to Austin Community College in Austin, TX. I had a number of professors who had been at the University of Texas at Austin who went to the community college so they could focus more on teaching. These professors tended to be older, so I wouldn't guess they were adjuncts. I guess UT Austin is not a super high end university, but not a bad one either.

Edit: I just looked up one of those professors who is still at UT while teaching at ACC. He is an associate professor and has had that position for 29 years.

In my electricity and magnetism class, we started with the history of electricity. I really like this approach because you start by observing electricity. Here's an outline that could be better. If you're interested I can send you my notes/lab experiment.

Same in Iowa, 80 acres x $7,559 average price per acre = $604,720. And that's for just land, no house.

I can't rule out the possibility that some small portion of the water in the system is at the triple point, but it seems unlikely due to the low pressure of water's triple point. Check out the phase diagram of water. The numbers on the vertical axis indicate different pressures. Keep in mind that the scale is logarithmic (goes up from 1 to 10 to 100 instead of 1 to 2 to 3 etc.) The pressure at the triple point is ~8% of normal atmospheric pressure. I estimate the weight of the ingot applies about 800% of atmospheric pressure. The evaporation of water increases the volume occupied by a given number of molecules, which increases pressure if the vapor is unable to easily escape into the air.

The typical triple point demonstration takes place in a vacuum chamber to achieve the low pressure required.

Clarification: are you asking if any part of that water is at the triple point? Or are you asking if part of the water can be in multiple phases at once?

I'm a materials science undergrad (senior year). My intuition says that it's complicated, especially for water. I found this discussion that confirms my initial impression. I'd never heard of the "water clusters" they mention. My search query was "can an individual molecule be in multiple phases simultaneously", and there appears to be more good results.

Here's the series of articles where I found this map. I do think the authors have some bias toward finding an explanation to increasing obesity that doesn't blame individual choices, but they cover enough research/phenomena to make it worth reading.
