I think the title should refer to “graduate degrees,” not “masters degrees” since both medical professionals and lawyers typically get doctorates (MDs and JDs). In theory a doctorate is a more advanced degree than a masters and takes longer to achieve.

And yet Mr. Sessions wants to pare back the terms and enforcement of DOJ reform agreements with local PDs because they might affect morale. Welcome to the new world order.

You’re answering a completely different question. The question is “do I get 4x as much of topping [A] by ordering a 16" instead of an 8" pizza,” which relates to whether they hold the [A]/sq in density constant across sizes. It may be true that if you as for toppings [A] and [B], instead of just [A], that you will…

No, I clearly stated it was a hypothetical in order to illustrate why your comment clearly missed the basic statistical point I was making about differential representation. Of course that all seems too subtle for you to comprehend, notwithstanding that I actually stated as much (and even anticipated your comeback,…

Way to firmly establish yourself as a mouth-breather:

Oh good lord. There’s a lot of misinformation in the comments. The FCC has mandated Enhanced 9-1-1 for carriers since the 90s. That means that PSAPs equipped with the right tech (and many of them are) get your location (based on GPS/GLONAS, cell sector and cell triangulation if possible, or a combination of the…

Oh good god. You are the second person to make basically the same observation, which is “hey, people without headphones do this too.” But you—like JescoWhite before you—have completely missed the actual point. So, I’ll render it as an extreme. Assume 25% of the people in the store are headphone-wearers. My…

Like I said, based on my experience, as someone who does the family shopping every week, the percentage of aisle-blockers wearing headphones is greater than the percentage of grocery shoppers wearing headphones generally. So statistics tells me it does have to do with headphones, and my hypothesis—which doesn’t…

I appreciate your admonition to “be aware of your surrounding when you shop,” but I find that either headphones create an induced state of obliviousness or there is a correlation between people wearing headphones and being generally oblivious. Either way, my experience is that there is a disproportionate number of…

My system centers around Plan to Eat, which is a paid site, but only about $20/yr, so not too bad. At the start of the weekend I’ll peruse my recipes in PtE and consult with my wife about the weekly schedule. I use PtE’s planner to schedule meals for nights where we’ll all be here and it builds me a shopping list. I…

Hmm... What if the key flavor bits aren’t water soluble? And maybe need alcohol or acid or something?

Your link doesn’t make any sense to me? What am I missing? A Shirley Temple is not a pink lemonade... And besides, Shirley Temples are made with grenadine, not food coloring...

Odd. I thought “pink” lemonade was pink b/c it had crushed strawberries or raspberries as an additive. At least that was the only way I ever created pink lemonade and I assumed that was what other pink lemonade involved. People actually adulterate lemonade with food coloring just for kicks?

“We’re celebrating an 86.27 score.” I feel like I’ve been cheated out of a penny by bad rounding.

I find the E-Z Ancors to be as strong as toggles or expansion bolts, but... They are faster to install—the toggles require a lot of screwing, since the bolt has to be long enough to push the toggle through the drywall, and then you need to take up all that slack. To screw it, however, you need to be pulling the…

Having run 2x6s through a jointer and planer in the past, it isn’t worth it. the 2x stuff sold by the big home improvement centers just warps and twists if you try to properly dimension it—so many knots in fast growing wood that it tends to have a lot of built-in pre-stresses that come out when you change the…

Things I liked: (i) use of dowels to strengthen joints and use of flush cut saw; (ii) use of keyhole hangers; and (iii) use of E-Z Ancors for drywall (so much better than the expansion anchors or toggle bolts). Things I disliked: (i) use of 2x6 lumber (cheap, but it warps/twists and long corners are rounded so you…

You missed listing the Ghiradelli double chocolate brownies, which—by my reading—was the reader favorite and their favorite overall. But with that said, I cannot find the list of which mixes they actually tested. So I’m at a loss to figure out if they did or did not test my personal go-to—the Ghiradelli TRIPLE…

It isn’t pedantic to point talk about mobile networks in downlink speeds only because anyone who knows shit about networks should know that no one cares about the uplink. Uplink payload in the US runs about 10-15% of the downlink. At the same time the US has licensed almost all mobile broadband spectrum in symmetric…

No one cares about upload speed and your download is maxing out right about where they said--8 mbps. And if you don’t care about speed, you shouldn’t care about the 22+ GB soft cap on the T-Mo, Verizon, and AT&T plans. So WTF?
