When I peed on a stick and got the double lines, I cut cold turkey.

2-3 standard drinks/day would probably up your tolerance, but I don’t think you’d develop any chemical dependence, i.e., no significant withdrawal symptoms if you suddenly went cold turkey. This is based on my varied drinking habits in high school (none), college (a lot early, less later), and now (0-20/week depending

And his wife Rosy?

Shouldn’t they be more offended that you turn your unwanted pokemon into candy and feed them to their relatives?

Do they also take immunosuppressants to respect microbial life? Avoid travel and consumer products? You probably kill more bugs (also spiders) in your sleep than you breathe in during the day. I’ve probably gotten more gnats in my eye than I’ve inhaled.

You do realize that the government “taking over the management” of ITT Tech is essentially synonymous with them hiring a management contractor, right? It’s not like they’re going to send decisions to Congress. The Department of Education doesn’t directly manage any institutions to my knowledge.

Fair enough. I’d seen a couple other summaries of this work that explicitly mentioned that they’d only made a lasing medium, though that was generally in reference to the goal that they were trying to achieve lasing within a biological system. In vivo lasing would be pretty impressive. Even in vitro would be

I had a group that tried to make a CO2 laser for a Physics senior research class. We realized that using mirrors as the endcaps to the plasma cavity is a good way to ruin mirrors. Also had a Nd:YAG laser that got misaligned at one point. Never could get it back to specs.

Yeah, I guess that makes a random laser. It’s basically an extremely good gain medium used as a photomultiplier. The output won’t resemble the output of a typical laser, though. It won’t be coherent and the directionality will poor, essentially the shape of the active gain medium. It’s basically a high-intensity

The article mentions that they only made a gain medium, but it also conflates fluorescing and lasing several times.

Creating a lasing medium isn’t the same as achieving lasing. You still need the resonant cavity to achieve lasing, which is arguably the most difficult part inside the body. All they did here was make a fluorescent tag that binds to blood protein. I would also like to point out that coherence is really a defining

I’m going by the books here, because the characters there are more nuanced and consistent, but Jon does consider the concerns of the Brothers. He just (imho, correctly) judges them to be too rooted in bigotry and tribal resentment and dismissive of the impending true threat of the white walkers.

Looks like the ball was still touching his hand when his foot hit the ground.

Those examples are displaying identically for me. Also, why would you expect tab to align “some_flag” with “something_else” if “something_else” isn’t aligned via tab to begin with? I can see the issue if your tab is larger than the preceding text in one format and not in another, which could be fixed by defining

What’s the case against tabs? Shouldn’t your editor of choice have the tabs formatted to match your preferences? If indent sizes are already standardized, then it should literally make no difference (for reading at least).

1/2 of Portal’s charm was in the ambiance and characters (including the Companion Cube). The puzzles (and mechanics) were good, but a bit perfunctory. There also weren’t any puzzles that were terribly difficult. The writing, voice acting, and sound in general was what really made it memorable.

Balloons. He’s not quite as flabbergasted as Hilldawg.

What if you’re book smart and also work hard (or would given the opportunity)? No matter how much you desire a job, if you lack the necessary aptitude, you’re not going to hack it.
