There are two networks in my apartment complex having an utterly awesome network name war: when we moved in one was named "FBI Network" and the other "NSA Trusted". Every few weeks one or the other renames itself and it slowly gets more and more extreme: "FBI Surveillance Van", "NSA Spy Drone", "FBI NanoBot Support",…

I propose a caption contest. Here, I'll start:
He was my physics professor!!!!
Oh man. I assume this was somewhere on Oahu and it got towed out to Sand Island? THE WOOOORST. I lived there for three years and have always assumed there was some massive racket going on with lots of people getting kickbacks from the towing fees, because I never knew anyone who simply got a parking ticket. Any…
10 = my face when I got to the crumbling molars bit. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH... (I used to think I was deeply disturbed for having this as a recurring nightmare but apparently it's a pretty common thing?...)
Oh, habaneros...
When I was about 11 I was being a whiny little jerk about helping my mom carry in groceries from the car in the rain. I finally sulkily yanked on some super-impractical shoes (basically slick-bottomed slippers) and stomped out to the porch, ignoring my mom admonishing me to not go out into the rain in such dumb shoes.
Not to mention, can you *imagine* the flipped version of this statement? "Yes, he did some horrible to me so I WANT to get him in trouble" = "that vindictive bitch! She's out to ruin some poor young man's life!" The statement of "Oh, of course, I don't want to get him in trouble" isn't just a (reasonable and honest)…
I dunno, Colorado mailed ballots to everyone this year too and Cory Gardner still happened...

It is Tom Hiddleston. And fwiw, I totally didn't get it either until one day I was inexplicably like "OMG." I've heard a similar story from other people as well. Like a switch flipped.
Aaaand pregnant.
Hahahaha; having some close experience with physics PhD programs myself, I came close to guessing that myself. The only argument I had against it is that, outside of the admins, nobody in most academic physics programs - man or woman - ever dresses in anything that would remotely resemble a "power suit". Especially…
Really?? Nobody here's going for one of the science/engineering fields? From personal experience those fields are usually where you get the loudest crowds of butthurt "it's so haaard to be a man in this field!" nerdbros who all think they're the only ones bravely saying what everyone else is thinking (because yeah, so…
fwiw, I think he might be using using that phrase because his Facebook screed is meant to be some kind of "response" to this article: http://www.theguardian.com/higher-educati…
I'm pretty strong, but I'm also a small female. So yeah, you're probably stronger than me.
"A doctor I know came up with it, but hasn't released it yet, so I don't want to tell you too much about it."
UTIs are officially and demonstrably The Worst. I mean, I know they're not (usually) fatal or damaging, so they at least have that going for them. But I gotta say, they've probably got one of the highest "severity of pain/seriousness of ailment" ratios around.
