While not as cool as forging a ring out of a meteorite, my husband did make my engagement ring by hand. It's made of Monel which is apparently very hard to work with. He had to buy all new tools to work it and it took him much longer to make than he anticipated (he thought it would take a couple weeks, but it took 4…

That was my interpretation as well. It's not perfect, but the tone of the article suggests that this is still better representation than in most US ads.
Did the owners who bought it at 55k do any renovation? For my house, 2 owners before me bought the house for 1/2 as much as I did, but they also renovated the kitchen and bathroom and finished the basement, so it makes sense.
This is weird because I was just at a lunch meeting with a manager of a scientific R&D company talking about PhDs and how useful they are. She's been with the company for 12 years starting as a staff scientist and when she got hired she said a PhD was the minimum requirement. But now they do actually hire people…
I think the positive aspect was the line at the end "Come as you are" which seemed to indicate that McDs at least doesn't care.
I was weird in that after I read it the "normal"way the first time (and inevitably died) I would go back and read it the wrong way, I mean I would read each page in order like a normal book. I just never wanted to miss a page.
YES! My friends found a very sweet cat, super loving and cuddly, and found out that she was chipped, yay! But then found out that the number associated with the chip is no longer active. They've tried their hardest to find the owner (contacting local vets, shelters, posting ads) and are now going to try to adopt…
Ha, I love this song as well. It's no worse than a lot of breakup songs out there and I tap my feet so much while listening to it.
Phoebe was a masseuse. Her singing was more of a part time hobby (not sure if she was paid for the singing).
Ugh, that sucks. I had a similar experience a couple months ago. My husband and I have discussed the issue, and although we do want kids someday, right now isn't a good time: I'm at a critical point in my PhD and he just took over as head blacksmith at the shop, so we are both working ridiculous hours. Then we went…
In zebrafish Shh is duplicated, and they named the second copy twiggy-winkle. It's really hard to stand up in front of my department and say both names with a straight face.
I love charoset and I'm also weird that I actually love gefilte fish. I'm an atheist Jew (with a lapsed Catholic father) who married a lapsed Catholic atheist. We put my menorah next to our grapefruit christmas tree and he makes me matzlava (matzah baklava) for passover. And he fasts with me on Yom Kippur just to…
It looks like 5'10" is still pretty much average in the US, but this chart does show the differences between black, white and mexican americans (wikipedia, so grain of salt).
I'm in a PhD program at a well known R1 university, and looking at my class specifically, there are no ivy leagues represented. Most of us came from small liberal arts colleges or state universities.
Oh of my friends was ranting this week about the stupid legislation regarding women's health issues that Republicans have been making of late, so this image is perfect! I just sent it to her. Thanks :)
I found your initial statement to be excessively rude itself, so I responded like with like.
Lots of people have admitted that they are similar. I've seen a number of articles written about the similarities and differences between the two. So yeah, that's been done, happy? Just get over it already. It's really annoying to see people like come in to EVERY single post about the Hunger Games and mention…
Yeah I had an issue with the lack of outdoors activities in my GS troop. Problem was that when I was too young to join GS I was allowed to tag along to my brother's boy scout meetings sometimes, and my first day camp experience was actually at a boy scouts camp where I learned sign language and to swim in a big dirty…
The one they did in Baltimore brought people from really far away. I met one woman from North Carolina.
