Reducto earning potentium! :)

Several years ago, I decided I had zero interest in going to my graduation. None of my family would be present, it's a huge university, and I had pretty much zero interest in sitting around in a set of wizard robes in the heat (and/or rain). My mother-in-law decided she wanted pictures of me...

A few years ago I joked with my now-wife that, were my father to follow my grandfather's footsteps and be diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, I would, "Batman the shit out of it." (Verbatim quote.) My grandfather's struggle with this illness and the impact it had on my family are some of the...

Plus it's like an anti theft device for a good chunk of the population. Always wanted a manual, finally got one a few years ago. Will never willingly go back.

Thesis has been successfully defended. There are a few minor things I need to take care of before April 5th, but--as of April 29th--I will officially have the title of Doctor of Neuroscience.

Sorry for the double post. Additionally, is there anything in particular you want? I have some parts laying around from a recent upgrade and my friend's recently upgraded his higher-end rig to a beastly rig, so I can ask around.

I think there's a buildapcproxy on Reddit that helps with international/local sales that might help: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcproxy

Yep, pretty much. They're a computational biology company but are expanding and claimed to want to bring somebody with a more bio-focused background onboard. I'm currently learning computer programming and trying to learn bioinformatics, but made no secret of the fact (and explicitly stated...

Great. I am reasonably certain that a company who demonstrated interest in me, and interviewed me several times, simply wanted a markedly discounted consultation and to pick my brain in the guise of job interviews.

Aaaaaand my thesis is submitted. Including references and formatting, it clocked in at 177 pages. Imma go nap now.

Pretty much this. Even if you absolutely detested the man (I certainly did), respect the dead and the office and give it a couple days before making a puppet of his corpse and making it dance for whichever side suits your fancy. I will, however, miss his dissents. The man had a great command...

Just in time for the Michigander Halforums meet up, I had a dream the night before that Dave had a long-lost brother from Kazakhstan that had reconnected with him through the forum. Apparently this had been a "thing" for a while so I was EXTREMELY confused at a) the new face with a massive post...

I will have to say it's a tie between rottweiler and pit bull. A family friend had a couple wonderful and sweet rottweilers that I grew up with and I've always loved the big lugs. And my wife and I have fostered a pit bull and just love them to pieces. Thank fucking christ no. I have had...

Hopcat (http://hopcat.com/food/ann-arbor). They're more of a "craft beer restaurant", but the food is still really tasty. :)

There's a place in Ann Arbor that serves poutine. My favorite (due in large part to the name) is Vladimir Poutine.

Indirectly, yes! In a nutshell, our brain (and pretty much all of our body) is a massive collection of chemical reactions. These reactions are controlled largely by your genes and, at least for psychiatric illness, medications can actually influence how much of certain genes are made...

Have a happy birthday!

Ideally, anywhere in the Pacific northwest. I grew up on the west coast and got to spend a lot of time in Oregon and Washington and think it's honestly some of the most beautiful country in the world (particularly the Columbia River Gorge). For regular pop: Coke. For diet/zero calorie...

And starting awesome forums where you rule supreme. Don't forget about that.

Yep; the next couple months will be fun getting all the last bits and pieces wrapped up, but I'm making the most out of that. I have, or else the past few weeks would've been even more terrifying. At the moment I have my intro and one chapter finished, with about ~1k words left in my third...
