1. Isn't Rosetta is orbiting a comet, not an asteroid??

Isn't New York already a mega city? The metro area has a population of 23.5 million people. According to the definition given by wikipedia (yes, I know, it's wikipedia), a megacity is comprised by it's metropolitan area, not its city limits. Else a place like Boston would only has 645,000 people, which is a small…

With the exception of wicked, I find the slang listed for Boston to be not that common, at least not within the city itself. If you go out to many of the burbs and Southie (okay, that's a part of Boston proper), sure, you'll hear them used fairly frequently, but I rarely heard them being used otherwise. Saying that as…

I wonder if bipolar disorder follows this pattern too and whether there is overlap with these genetic clusters. Unfortunately, most mental health research money goes to unipolar depression and schizophrenia, despite bipolar disorder having higher mortality rates than both of these disorders and is more prevalent than…

I used to think the giant phones were silly until I moved to Singapore a few months ago. They are hugely popular here to my surprise. It's mostly women who own them from what I can tell, which was the oddest thing to me. In the US, all the phablets I've seen were owned by guys, and often times purely because of the…

I'm living in Singapore at the moment and I was astounded by the number of phablets used here. In Boston, NY, and Denver they stand out like a sore thumb in my experience (I don't know what their popularity is outside those three cities), but it seems like about 1/5 have a Samsung Note something. And typically it's…

Anti-perspirants cause irritation in my armpits, so I avoid them and switched to deodorant. I'm using Every Man Jack now, which can still give me some irritation, but it covers up smells pretty well and it's not much of an issue.

My cat loves anything leafy vegetable. Spinach, kale, iceberg... anything. She goes crazy when she sees them. Absolutely loves eating kale and romaine. What a weirdo.

Fair enough. I don't know what I can and cannot about Singapore say because censorship laws (still new here), so I'm gonna step away now~

Can Singapore really be considered communist though? I'm living here right now and I'm pretty sure it's the most capitalistic country I've ever lived in (or ever been to, for that matter). Sure, it has some issues similar to many communist nations (you can deduce what I'm referring to), but those aren't what define…

I have always known I don't want kids. Don't like them, never have and I'd much rather have my freedom and whatnot. I'm so glad I am finally getting a hysterectomy next year so I don't ever have to worry about getting pregnant again.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll be trying that out.

Yeah, some cat breeds are... too energetic. Prior to owning my current cat, a Turkish Angora, all my other cats were indoor/outdoor cats and I had never witnessed any sort of pent up energy with them. Now my cat can go wild running around the apartment jumping from the couch to the other couch onto the bookshelf and…

Poly relationships don't work very well for most people for whatever reason (eg. communication, jealousy, etc). I feel like a lot of time people enter them because they just want to have sex with other people but not tell their partner or hear what their parent has been up to. Whatever it is, it's not for the average…

Also happened to me flying from Boston to Mexico City, probably on United. I could see the blue runway lights (it was nighttime) and about to touch down and all of a sudden we go straight up. All the lights turned off in the cabin and the pilot didn't say anything for 5 minutes. The Mexico City airport is pretty much…

Yeah, I'm not excusing them of not checking the source (reverse google image search and all that jazz), but rather on not recognizing the image and its significance. Totally agreeing on you with that it's part of their job to check these things.

I think this has to do much more that it was an international employee posted this rather than them being a millennial. Growing up in South America, I *may* have heard about the Challenger disaster only in passing. I went to the international school and my mom is American which increases the chance of potentially…

You know, I've too been told that by my roommate, that we can't read in dreams. I have lucid dreams all of the time and become aware randomly in them. I don't know if it's because they happen so frequently that its automatic or my dreams are so damn outlandish* that I pick up on them right away. Granted, this is at…

I had Leonid Levin (as in Levin from the Cook-Levin theorem) as my professor for my algorithms class and he always was mentioning how one of the failures of his generation is not figuring out whether P = NP or P != NP and that we had to solve it. If one of the smartest guys when it comes to Complexity Theory thinks…

I've never had issues putting my Nexus 5 into my skinny jeans pockets andthey are as skinny as they come. Always had room to comfortably stuff more things in them.
