If you were worried about crazy people and paparazzi showing up your wedding making the invite as minimal as possible is a good way to avoid that (especially since it was smeared across the internet almost immediately), so that makes sense. And if you're upset with the style? The completely normal style for a wedding…

Fun fact: The Soviet Union got rid of the exception for marital rape in 1922, and explicitly made it a crime in 1960. The US was/is somewhat behind that timeline.

That's horrible. At least he was convicted? (Please tell me he was convicted.)

So we should probably arrest all men of indian/pakastani descent because they're all rapists, and perhaps we should put them in isolation in camps with a catchy name (Internment Camps?) and we should talk lots about how they're a destabilizing influence. And then we totally won't regret the racism and mass deprivation…

Thank you! Silicon and silicone are two quite different things.

1983 in Canada :(

Do you have a reputation in your department about being difficult to work with? Many profs won't touch a "difficult" grad student and are very affected by what their peers and students say about you.

Wow, thanks... never thought of that! Creepy. Seriously creepy. I never actually thought that the doctor would even really try to dissuade us....

Look in other departments then.

Yeah the series goes downhill, but every so often you see those flashes of pure genius. If you happen to be in the market for a book yourself can I recommend?

Then I misread this. My bad. Sorry.

I will check out this Ursula Le Guin aussi.

Have you read the new book? !!!!!!

So I hope I'm not too late to miss out of all the awesome advice. But Ladies and Germs of Jezebel, fiancee and I never want children, and are both a bit jumpy about getting pregnant even though we use hormonal BC, and are considering a vasectomy. Bit nervous though. Some anecdotal advice would not be amiss. Also how…

Shameless plug for The Lies of Locke Lamora. Amazing book. I think you'd like it based off of your lists.

I've known a few grad students who really felt passionately about an idea work on a different project but do the experiment without telling the prof at the same time, then go to the prof with the prelim. data afterward. Obviously that's not feasible in all situations, and you need to come up with a second (possibly…

Buy a breadmaker. House smells fabulous, hot bread is amazing, machine does most of the work, and you can control exactly what goes in. Also fairly inexpensive over the years.

Similar thing with my parents (and I haven't bothered with my father in years either). I'm like "hey mum, not complaining because I sure do like being alive... but how on earth did you think this was going to work out well??!"

If a cylon (and all on topic) I think I'd have to go with Tory. But the correct choice is always Starbuck! (I don't like where they took her character in the end, but that one time when she was piloting that cylon fighter... !!!!!)

Nathan Fillion agrees with you. And apparently dated number 6.
