I think it depends on the financial viability of the subject and the amount of funding departments get from outside sources. In general, science and engineering PhD students do not pay their own tuition because of NSF, NIH and industry grants that the college receives and uses to pay graduate students. Even in areas…

Is that strange though? I feel like the vast majority of scholarships are not applicable for doctorate degrees. Especially in science and engineering, where students are expected to be funded by their advisors.

I thought the whole point of "locally sourced" was that you change your diet/culinary tastes to eat whatever happens to grow in your area, not force the stuff you like to grow near you. That's why it's real easy to do if you happen to live in California where all the most delicious shit in the world is grown. Not so…

I'm confused though. Is this practice in danger somehow? I can definitely see advocating for it if someone is threatening to make it illegal or something, but out of context it seems like she is encouraging everyone everywhere to eat seals for some inexplicable reason. That is not a reasonable stance to take.

Do you know how much a drawbridge weighs? Hundreds, if not thousands, of tons. If less than 1% additional weight causes it to break, it was already going to break.

Railing, maybe. Bridge, no. All the locks are going to add up to maybe the weight of a single car. If the tolerances of the bridge are that small, then it would have already collapsed during a particularly bad rush hour or when a couple busses drove over it at the same time.

I probably shouldn't even humor you with a response, but you do know that "the cloud" is the default on most platforms now, right? And you can't expect every person to be aware enough of the security implications to disable it. You might as well blame Apple and Google.

I hope you're joking. Because we are the ones who forcibly conjoined church and state in Iran after we lead a coup to overthrow their democratically elected secular leader, Mohammad Mosaddegh.

I wish I could star your comment a thousand times. People should know that this is largely our (the United States) fault.

How often does it work to just tell people, "hey, don't do that?" If it were that easy then we would have solved our crime problem a long time ago. Rapists are not going to be deterred by a commercial that tells them not to rape. They already are ignoring the protests of the victim.

Also there are people would have to answer "yes", but the context would be "she asked me to choke her during awesome sex." Just sayin'.

It's just as easy to say, "no thanks, not working out" and block them in your phone though, right? The person don't know they're being ignored until a couple days later. You could be saving that person some anxiety at really no cost to yourself, is my view.

I want to star this a thousand times.

I'm not saying people that do it are the devil or something, but to me it seems like common courtesy. Of course you don't owe them anything, but it's just being a decent person to be straight up with them.

Those guys are city officials of crazy town, but on a related note the fadeaway needs to die as a breakup technique. Just tell the other person you don't want to date them like an adult.

Never used Peapod? It's been around for years. Safeway also does grocery delivery, plus some other local places depending on where you live.

They can't release it without her consent, which is why it's not released. That's exactly what the article says. They are trying to make a deal with her and the ex right now to release.

They had lots of testimony from psychiatric professionals that said he has some serious anxiety problems and an irrational fear of/preoccupation with home invasion because his disability would make him unable to run away and escape. Basically he is a crazy person and, if they were right about his diagnosis, you…

There was also the numerous articles bringing people up to speed on the different celebrities featured in the leak, so you could know exactly who they were when you were jerking it to their pictures. Please tell me how that was a classy thing to do.

Did everyone forget about that time they payed $10,000 for photos of Lena Dunham so they could laugh at her and get a bajillion clicks? I guess so.
