He's dead so can't tell us you cold-hearted asshole. This isn't a court of law.

Oh look, Boozecube doesn't understand the business consequences of failing your residents. Big surprise. Nobody wants to have the label of having coronavirus deaths in their facility. Nobody. Admitting it is failure.

Do I need to administer the fucking test? Nothing will be good enough for your poorly formed mind. His 94 year old wife informed my rotary club about the how and why of his death -good enough for me. My colleague is not allowed back to work until cleared by the company - good enough for me.

Yeah - it's great for business to tell everybody that coronavirus is rampant through their facility. Huge incentives for lying about it. No, there is no reason to lie about it. No "bonus," just increased business costs now and moving forward and horrible advertising for future residents.

The 95 year old died 2 days into symptoms at home. Test post mortem - Fuck you for asking. Colleague had gotten knee surgery so was out. Probably got exposed at hospital. After both he and his wife were sick, he got tested and came back positive, wife with antibodies. Been weak and low O2 for...

A positive test as stated in the question you knob. Wouldn't have posted if there wasn't a positive test in both cases.

One colleague from work, mid 50s. Has been sick and in/out of hospital for close to two months, so caught it it mid to late March. Also had a 95 year old friend from my rotary club die from it in early April. This is in central N.C.

Need time to build up testing and contact tracing infrastructure to prevent rapid spread once things are opened. Since the feds have been slow on that the states are scrambling. Mass isolation is since we don’t know who has it so need to use a blunt instrument. The better way is coming, but the...

Umm, the Transamerica Tower wasn't completed until 1972 so... not 1934.

If you’re both carriers then will need to do IVF for future kiddos unless you are willing to roll the dice on that. Hopefully your ancestors didn’t give you the CF defect and that worry can go away.

Depending on where you are moving from there are sometimes nonprofit, ex-con moving companies that have good rates. Delancey street (San Francisco) or Trosa (Durham NC) are examples that I know of and have used with success

My parents live on Guam - their payback time for solar was ~3 yrs. Where I'm at now the payback would be 10+ so not worth it right now. Living by a nuclear plant keeps our electricity prices fairly steady so long-term doesn't look great for solar either. Oh well!

Naming reactions is total bullshit for entry level courses. Doesn’t help understanding, I’m sorry your prof is stupid old school. Naming can be important later, but in orgo 1 it’s a waste. (Reagent choice is fair game tho).

Man, orgo isn't hard unless you try to brute force/memorize it. Learn the language first (how to draw bonds, arrows, etc.). Then basically identify the nucleophile and the electrophile and let them react to one another - pushing the electrons lower in energy until everything finishes up. This is...

Diversity what now? Where’d that come from?!? Thing is, the proven methods to date have created a single recipe for success. That recipe doesn’t always work across all fields, and having a wider range of understanding and experience is essential for high end research. Engineers are an...

As someone with a PhD in the experimental sciences and who uses math every day (chemistry), this approach results in uncreative engineers who are unable to be creative by making unexpected connections. The cutting edge scientific problems are those where the answer isn’t known, and testing...

The classic engineer vs scientist problem. I’m a scientist so prefer the former. You’re arguing from the engineer perspective. Both are ultimately important but it’s important for kids to think, not just plug and chug. That can come later if needed (such as your examples).

Because multiplication tables don’t teach kids how to understand numbers, but how to memorize tables.

As far as I understand, the goal of “new” math is to understand numbers and their connections. Just plug and chug (old math) has been shown to not do that. Again, the goal if the exercise isn’t primarily to just find the right answer, but to examine the process of how numbers change and are...

Think these questions are aimed to force the student to play with number patterns, not just find the right solution. 9x8 = 72 2x4= 8 4x18 = 72 9x2 =18 Then write a short essay where you can use these four equations to find the answer.

That is........ one ugly backsplash. Damn.

Buy some belts.

Ordered myself. Good price even if they are mediocre. It’s time to throw out older shirts and rotate in new ones anyway. Thanks for the link!

Get yourself a digging bar. Helps immensely.

Yes - it's like it was on the "real" Al'Kabor. So, +20% overall bonus + a group XP bonus higher than live - maxes at 5 toons in group (so no extra bonus for the 6th toon), but if one XP's with 4 toons in group, each kill gets more XP per person than in a 3 person group. It's one of the reasons...

As a university professor (chemistry) I'd recommend NOT doing this for anybody in a technical field. The big advantage of the first couple of years when the "bullshit" courses are being taught is that you are able to form an intellectual/educational/social community of peers that you then draw...

Yeah, look for a new place - can take a while on a list to get into good spots so don't want to wait until "time to go now!" Just went through similar with my kiddos - changed jobs so wasn't able to keep them in the daycare that they loved. The first one we switched to didn't give them enough...

Quick question - going saltwater fishing for the first time next week while on vacation. Just going to put some bait (clam/shrimp/cut bait) on the bottom into a saltwater inlet in Norfolk to see what we can get, nothing fancy. Wondering what pound test folks would recommend? Am going to get some...

Hehe, I had a pretty big largemouth (5 lbs maybe) take a bluegill my daughter was landing about 2 feet from shore - broke the line in about 3 seconds. Had time to say "whoa!" and it was gone.

Caught my first decent sized channel cat the other day. Pole is not what I caught it on, just there to size it (23-ish inches cat). Caught on cut bluegill that I did catch with my daughters little play rod. Was a PITA to get onto the dock since I didn't bring my net.

God those must be a pita to clean behind.

Find a Daddy Boot camp and attend it (probably at month 6-8 of the pregnancy) Get "Happiest Baby on the Block" Video and watch it with your wife (again, at about month 6-8 of pregnancy). Two best things I did pre-birth to prep for later. The birth classes were largely bullshit for the dad...

My wife and I just had a second kid today - a boy to add to our 3 year old girl. He was a monster, 9 lb, 5 oz, and can already move his head and look around. Hungry as all get out too. I found that it was a ton easier to love the little gremlin out of the box for me with the second one - I have...

Sounds like somebody needs to get their wife to read about theCTFD methodof parenting. Good luck!

assm.asstr.orghas a huge index of all types of stories.

I'm a professor at an institution similar to UC-Davis. My advice is to go there, not necessarily because the instruction could be better but due to the education you will gain from fellow students. I'm not saying that SFSU students are necessarily of lower quality that UC-Davis, its just that at...

Although I suppose since she's your ex you have already went all the way... but I thought this was appropriate.

Hi everybody, I'm taking part in the #Scifund Challenge hosted by the science crowdsourcing website experiment.com. The project is entitled ?What?s in that new TV Screen? Toward ?greener? OLED?s at NC State Chemistry.?http://www.experiment.com/NCSU_OLED. My project aims to raise funds to help...

Option 1 is almost certainly correct - the activation barrier for deuterium-deuterium fusion (from Coloumb repulsion) is about 30,000 electron volts. The absolute BEST electrocatalyst decreases activation barriers by 10's of electron volts. Not fusion here, not fusion atanysurface catalyst, the...

Repeaterswas an interesting take on a time travel drama using the time travel physics of "Groundhog Day." Not perfect but I had a fun time with it.
