It looks exactly like c++ and c# and java and probably others.

It's just modeling humans. I was only a lab TA for two semesters, and I caught so many fake data sets.

Ok. I'm also not crazy.

I do. I also have a PhD from a medical school. That's why I know if eating less milk were the best solution for this individual, they would have said that.

Managing parents' anxieties is a major part of being a pediatrician. You don't suggest things that might scare parents when they are not necessary.

Be nice.

Jesus Christ. Just be nice.

Why is no one on Lemmy nice.

My bologna has a first name...

A more standard definition in my tenure in academia is that scientists solve problems because they want to know the answer. Engineers solve problems because they want the problem to be solved.

In any case, the difference is just, heh, academic.

I'm very much the latter.

Agreed.

I might also argue that those people are all still engineers.

Engineer just means "problem solver". Everyone gets paid for solving problems.

The real question in my head is how far does this go?

Sometimes the problem is that these burgers need flipping. Protein disk translocation engineers? I'm cool with that.

The doctor is unable to stop them from their behavior.

Imagine yourself as a doctor. The patient has the plague. You say, "Take this antibiotic. It will go away." They say, "We prefer quarantine and chicken noodle soup".

Do you say ok? Or do you admonish them and risk they get angry and do nothing? Or do you say, that is better than nothing. It is their body.

The only ethical behavior for a physician in this situation is to say, "sure, try dietary modifications".

They were trying to prevent long term brain development issues by resolving the anemia the fastest evidence-based way, but the patient refused expert advice.

 

It's split pea or ham and potato for me.

In my mind, soup is just a technique that's really about the stock. This is just me suggesting that you all should adopt traditional French cooking technique.

For me, it's saving old chicken scraps and certain veggies and then cooking them until they are mush in water. Grocery store rotisserie chicken skin, bones, and juice; carrots, onions, celery, garlic. Anything getting past it's prime. No brassicas though. I'll throw a t bone in there, but while really good beef broth is amazing, good beef bones cost as much as real beef.

Clam juice or shrimp/crab/lobster shells sauteed in butter with water (or the aforementioned stock...) Is also awesome.

Once you've got that, just put anything in it. That's good soup.

Make sure that you put the correct amount of salt in it. If there's no salt, stock tastes terrible.

 

The paper shows some significant evidence that human coin flips are not as fair as I would have expected (plus probably a bunch of people would agree with me). There's always some probability that this happened by chance, but this is pretty low.

Of course, we should be able to build a really accurate coin flipping machine, but I never would have expected such a bias for human flippers.

This is why science is awesome and challenging your ideas is important.

Edit: hopefully this is not too wrong a place, but Lemmy is small, and I didn't know where else I could share such an exciting finding.

Found this in the remnants of a bag a grass seed from last year. It seems completely desiccated.

My best guess is that this is what we call a worm snake. I can't imagine how it got there unless it came with the bag. The bag has been in my garage since I bought it.

We've got a lot of these worm snakes on my property. They're smaller than a lot of earthworms I find (that's engineering paper, 5 squares per inch).

 

Pet dinosaurs FTW.

 

I've got ducks. They are cute and hilarious and lay the most delicious eggs, but they aren't this kind of fun-monster.

Still technically dinosaurs.

 

Every week there's a new monster (MOTW) where all the evidence for outsiders disappears, or there's the mythology where the government is covering it up.

I'm a huge skeptic in almost everything, but if I saw what she saw, I would clearly believe. That's plenty of evidence for me, and I'm an actual scientist (well PhD engineer. I definitely did real science in school though)

The shit's clearly real in their universe.

(Sorry, just been watching the first season of the x-files for the past few weeks)

 

My child just started kindergarten. As far as I can tell, it's wonderful and is the best place for him.

We're just... people of means. We've saved a lot of money compared to the private schools we were considering.

I just don't want this to be inappropriate. We'll give to all the standard pta / school fundraisers and already do the wishlist and extra school supplies requests.

I'm still selfish. I do want plenty of it to benefit my child. Appropriately though.

I just also want to make sure that the (kindergarten) teachers can get pizza and beer or whatever without it seeming like bribery.

i just wanted a lemmy version of reddit's /r/fuckimold. now it appears to be deleted by creator and I've yet to find any mod controls

 

In the South East, they bring you sweetened (usually far too sweetened for my tastes) iced tea. This is amazingly universal.

I live in NC and have been probing the border for years.

For "nicer" restaurants, the universal sweet tea boundary seems to be precisely at the NC/VA border.

 

Thoughts?
