Also if you have an indoor skydiving facility near you, I'd take her to do that and spring for the video. I'd say 6-10 minutes each. You may as well keep experiencing new stuff up until you die, and it's quite memorable. Hell if I was you I'd go on a tandem skydive too. What have you got to be afraid of at this point? And maybe a hot air balloon ride, too. You'd be surprised how easy it is to find a hot air balloon pilot in a given area, and that's something you can take the entire family to do. Knock out that bucket list and make some memories for everyone!
Hopefully the guy's learned his lesson. Pulling a BB gun on a drug dealer seems like a pretty good way of getting yourself killed.
Bullshit. Papers directly supported by funding/grants should, and usually do, thank/credit the sources. But just because someone funded you for one thing doesn't mean you have to disclose that in every paper you write that is remotely related.
Papers directly supported by funding/grants usually don't thank/credit sources (or maybe it's just so small that I never noticed it?).
It's de rigueur, and honest funding sources expect you to credit them.
In my field it's usually a paragraph right before the references cited. Sometimes there is also a Conflict of Interest statement, which I think is required by certain journals.
It makes brains so big it takes two stories to cover them.
I'm guessing malaria is now resistant to quinine, too, but I'm still game to try to tackle this problem with gin and tonic. We just need a large enough gin and tonic to cover Africa. If it doesn't fix the malaria, at least they probably won't care so much that they have malaria.
I had an Apple desktop machine back in the mid 00s. Actually still have -- I'd loaned it out to my room mate and just got it back. It burned up two of the high end ATI cards it came with before I gave up and put the lower end nvidia card in there. There were a lot of complaints about this on the Internet, but Apple never admitted there was a problem there. The usual solution (Which only seemed to somewhat forestall the inevitable) was to use a third party application to spin the fans in the machine up to the point where it sounded like an airplane taking off. Or just don't ever do anything involving 3D. That's kind of funny, buy an 8 core xeon machine with 16 gigs of RAM and then never push any 3D with it. And you it was very difficult to put a third party fan/heatsink on the video card either, since those cases have no power (or any other kind of) cables in them.
Now that I have the machine back, I'm going to look at slapping some large SATA drives in it and use it as a file/media server.
And it should be the law: If you use the word `paradigm' without knowing what the dictionary says it means, you go to jail. No exceptions. -- David Jones
