once you get that youtube working again orange: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZolOX...feature=fvwrel

I studied 13 hours today with one 30min break to play Halo:Reach with Flancrest. I'll prob have to study ~12 hrs per day for the next 3 weeks........fml

my final 3 weeks starts tomorrow in 8.5 hours.

i just wanna clarify that earlier i wasn't saying i dont need to take notes, just that i spent a lot of time doing that the past three months so now when i get em wrong it'll be because i didnt remember the notes i took two months ago.

edit: 13 hours with only 30 mins off is crazy. good job, keep it up.

The wife has an offer from a smaller liberal arts college, just exactly the sort of place we've wanted. Now it's time see if they can open up a position for me! GOGOGO!

GL!

damn you tosh.0 for making me watch church of fudge. Shake that bear wasn't that bad (though weird), but church of fudge has scarred me for life

hahahha

Congrats!

On topic of browsers you guys should check out the new FF 4 beta. It's pretty slick so far.

Lying in bed with NCAA tournament on, Wire loaded to watch during commercials, a couple rush tables, windows open since it's 60+ degrees in NYC, and some halal food from around the corner.

God I love March. I don't know how I'll ever go back to a real job.

worked a 8 hour shift, then 2 hour break and worked a 9 hour night-shift at a different job

on 4 hours of sleep...

needless to say Im ****ing exhausted.

anyway, at the very end of my last job, some nerdy guy at my work that was giving me **** about where I put the hotdogs, and was threatening to call the owner

I basically tore him a new *******

I get pretty short-tempered when Im tired

The True Battle of Chernobyl Uncensored

so not sure if anyone wants to get terrified to the point that they want to crawl into the fetal position for a few weeks, but I just watched this ridiculous documentary on the Chernobyl disaster. it's impossible to describe how insane this must have been for the people responsible for cleaning it up. random facts that stood out to me (out of many other incredible things): plutonium has a half-life of 245,000 (!!!) years, and Gorbachev said in the video that the soviet union had at one point about 2700 SS18 nuclear warheads which were 100x more powerful than the Chernobyl reactor explosion. wtf why did people even build **** like that? i'm pretty sure that nukes are the anti-technology because any mistake is so catastrophic. it's probably the most fragile thing on earth ainec.

tl;dr

The Chernobyl accident was caused by negligence and criminal Russian behavior. The risks caused by nuclear power are so much less than many things you do every day that its ridiculous to get worked up about it.

are you like 13?

welcome to the scary world of common knowledge

"probably"

"and it's not even close"

Sigh.

I'm confused. Are you suggesting that people behave rationally about nuclear power?

Also, vaguely ontopic of earthquake:

http://marginalrevolution.com/margin...=Google+Reader

I don't see how this part is exogenous to the risk profile of nuclear power. Sure, nuclear energy is probably the safest, cleanest fuel when everything functions correctly and no human error is involved. But that shouldn't be the standard used for assessing its risks. I think you should try to consider the ultimate worst case scenarios and the likelihood of them occuring. Personally, I think it is extraordinarily risky considering any substantial mistakes can lead to widespread radiation contamination making entire regions basically uninhabitable for hundreds of thousands of years. I'm not sure how sensational the video was being when it said that the Chernobyl post-explosion nuclear magma was in danger of causing a secondary explosion that would have razed Minsk, nearly 300 miles away, and massively contaminated most of Europe, though one of the people talking about this potential secondary explosion was former IAEA head Hans Blix (Hans Brix!! lol) so it may be valid. I doubt any of us are nuclear reactor engineers so it's hard for us to determine the likelihood of any repeat disaster, but I personally think that anything that holds such an incredibly destructive downside should a disaster occur is very risky for all humanity.

fwiw I own several uranium miners and am betting heavily on nuclear power growing in importance and taking a greater % of overall energy production so if anything I am biased to being pro-nukes.

ps. my bad for adding that extra probably, sciolist. i was posting in a hazy half-asleep hysteria.

1) You should probably familiarize yourself with the Chernobyl incident. There's a couple of nuclear engineers who explained it in politics, but Chernobyl was far more than simple human error. They basically did something stupid in an inferior design, then tried to cover it up instead of evacuating immediately.

2) There are massive negative environmental consequences from major energy sources like coal. They're just spread out and a lot less scary.

3) Not sure how the future will work out, but you should look up thorium and it's future uses in nuclear energy.

jesus christ texas. gayest end of a game ever.

Sup guys. I know there are a couple of soon to be Doctors following this thread so I decided to post here and see if you guys can help me.

My toes are kind of numb/tingling. It has been only two days so far. It is just the pinky toe and the one next to it, just on my left foot. I tried searching the web and this is what I found

http://www.medicinenet.com/numbness_toes/symptoms.htm

I am 25 years old and not overweight or anything. I go to the gym about once a week. I hadn't really hit my toes afaik, but I was painting outside and accidentally got one of my shoes wet and worked with it like that for the day. IDK if that is enough info or anything let me know if anything.

did this happen out of nowhere, liek one day you woke up and noticed the weird feelings? has it changed since you noticed it, either getting better or worse? any weakness at all, either in those two toes or elsewhere?

Yeah, I just woke up yesterday with that sensation. It is constant, I feel it right now. Kind of like when your foot falls asleep. I don't think it changed, not that I noticed anyways. No weakness anywhere.
