On that note, check the Kickstarter user agreement. I almost guarantee there's hardly any monetary protection for the backers. \n It would be difficult to go after the scammers through your state attorney general in cases like this. You're money can be more or less considered considered a contribution to the R&D of a product rather than paying for a product. This doesn't really fall under merchant laws which protect buyers from scams. In other words, you're not actually paying to receive a physical product because the physical product doesn't exist yet. There's no given timeframe as to when you may receive said future product. (This means that it's not a bait-and-switch scam.) In other words, you would have to prove, with conclusive evidence, that they never had any intention of ever delivering on the product.

They make a killing off of people who consider them a higher level product. \n Things like Johnnie Walker, Crown Royal, and Jack Daniels are at they price they are because of their name and name alone. Lets take burbon (Jack Daniels) for example. From the same money, you can buy a bottle of Eagle Rare 10yr. If we contrast quality, it's something that a company like Jack Daniels would normally charge double (at least) for. \n Protip from a boozer: \n Next time, instead of buying Johnnie Walker Black Label, consider getting MacAllan 12yr. Quality-wise, it's on par with Walker Gold. (Walker Green is their best one IMHO, it also happens to be their only vatted malt.) \n Rather than buying Captain Morgans, get a bottle of Diplomatico Reserva. It makes Gentleman Jack look like Colt 45 by comparison.","Summary: Calculus and Analytic Geometry\" by Thomas. 1951 (first/original ed.)\n\nPost: When I was taking calc one and two, the book we had was total crap unless you already had a previous understanding of the material. My dad said I should try his book from the late 60's. Reason being, calc books from the 50's and 60's (and a good number from the 70's) were all designed to teach without the use of calculators. The basic concepts were better eluded to such that you were able to solve conceptual algebraic problems without having to shit an obscure number. Years later, the ability to conceptually understand the material has served me much better than being able to solve oddball problems with obscure figures.

Physiologically, we share a lot in common with many other members of the animal kingdom.\n\nPost: You're confusing anatomy with physiology. Anatomically, we share relatively little in common with mice. Our bodies are profoundly different in this aspect. This is why you wouldn't use mice to test physical things such as load bearing and then scale it. \n Physiologically, however, our systems are remarkably similar. We can easily draw comparisons with the biological chemistry of what goes on when a foreign substance is introduced. This is why many chemicals are noted in a milligram per kilogram basis. (mg/kg, or sometimes ml/kg. Molarity and molality have their place in this as well.) Pet cat just have surgery?

They need to be relative to some value. Let look at it in decimal form. If I have a 0.01 chance of some form of cancer, and then I change something in my lifestyle that mitigates that risk by 20%, I now have a 0.008 chance. I then do something that is said to reduce my chances of the same cancer by 50%. If our chance is reduced then we go from 0.008 to 0.004. \n Notably, the effect is not cumulative in the traditional sense. We have 50% and 20%, yet we don't mitigate the risk by 70% where the risk would go from 0.01 to 0.003. Instead, we're at 0.004; a 60% decrease from the initial. This is because the decreases are independent of one another. As we continue to add more and more things to decrease the risk, each becomes less and less significant as a smaller and smaller portion is altered. Essentially, you will never hit a zero chance. \n Also consider that some things that decrease one risk may increase another. In the grand scheme of things, it becomes more and more complex. Realistically, exercising regularly (cardio), eating a well balanced diet, and limiting exposure to things like smoking can help prevent a great many of things. \n On an unrelated note, I would just like to add that just because it's a \"Harvard study\" doesn't necessarily mean that it's any more impactful than a great number of other studies on the topic. It just means that that individual who published the piece happened to be at Harvard University. What's important is the science, not the name.","Summary: I'm quitting smoking while on Zyban and Concerta. One diminishes the urge to smoke and the other exacerbates it. This is going to be interesting. \n Sometime between Wednesday and Friday. Well, here goes nothing. \n EDIT: Wow, I did ramble this out...\n\nPost: I shouldn't be surprised that this subreddit exists. I'm actually pretty thankful it does. A lot of the stories here are very encouraging and inspiring. As a general warning, this is probably going to turn into a ramble. I am not a man of few words. \n This is going to be attempt number two for me, although that's something of a misnomer (will explain in a bit). The last time I tried to quit, I did so using Zyban (low dose Wellbutrin). I must say, it was actually extremely effective. While it doesn't get rid of the cravings, it does make them much more manageable. Rather than wanting to destroy everything around me when I get a heavy craving, I'm just more... er... irritable. The cravings also subside quicker. Alas, that attempt didn't work. I was taking the medications for the wrong reasons, as the realization that someone I loved dearly had moved from myself had just then sunk in. This translated into taking the meds for their antidepressant factor, rather than their quit-smoking factor. In either case, I started strong, got to a month without, and it all ended disastrously. \n Tuesday, I had an emergency appendectomy preformed. It really wasn't until I was in the hospital for a day and a half that I realized that I hadn't had a single nicotine craving; at least not one where I end up pining for a cigarette. Given that finals had just happened in school (university), I knew that my system was saturated with nicotine. I guess it was that, that prompted me to think \"Look at me now. 36 hours and no burn. Hell, lets give this a try this summer.\" Frankly, I'm sick of every cold I get turning into bronchitis. \n Before discharge, I asked the doctor who was handling my case if he could also put into the pharmacy for three months worth of Zyban (300mg/day Wellbutrin). This had to be deliberated, as I'm also on a moderately high dose of Concerta for my ADHDi. The verdict came back that the risks of drug interaction were far outweighed by the health benefits in a 27 year old man. Approved. Started taking the pills Wednesday. It's interesting to note that while Zyban decreases the urge to smoke, Concerta actually PUMPS IT UP! When I first started it, I easily doubled my cigarette count each day for the first month. It tapered back down after that. In either case, it's going to prove an interesting variable that wasn't present the last time around. \n It takes about a week or two for Zyban to soak into your system. As such, you're actually encouraged to smoke during that time. (It's usually a week for most, but I've found for myself it really takes one and a half to two weeks, the latter being \"no-later-than\".) \n One of the threads in the top section of this sub recommended a coffee method. I'm actually curious, this time around, to modify that a bit (it does sound like a decent aid if you ask me). Since my system is already saturated with a schedule 2 controlled substance (Concerta, which is methylphenidate, and at a moderately high dose), I'd like to substitute that instead of coffee. Granted, I'm likely not addicted to it in the way a meth addict would go through withdrawal, but I do know that stopping the meds immediately at my dose will present with some mild withdrawal symptoms, similar to those of coffee but a bit more intense. \n My lovely lady is supportive, which is a great help to me. I told her a long time ago to get on my case about smoking; To look and talk to me shamefully every time I smoke. She's been complaining (for a long time) that \"Why do I even bother doing this? You're still smoking anyway!\" I still egg her on to keep doing it, even if I am still smoking. It does make me feel guilty, and establishing that stepping stone is crucial. As they say, all great journeys start with just a few simple steps. It's easier if there's already a stepping stone there. \n Also, not being super-fucking-depressed like the last time is probably going to help out as well. I'm pretty sure that's what killed it last time."],"string":"[\n \"Summary: I feel like there are things that aren't commonly talked about with painkillers. Be really careful if you're going to take them just to get high. Also, as someone who had never done drugs before, last year was one hell of a make-up year.\\n\\nPost: As someone who has been on a wide variety of painkillers in the past, I feel like I have some knowledge in this department. (Appendix exploded and then three months had a bilateral fracture in both heels). Let's go over some of them, shall we? \\n T3 is nice. I'm sensitive to codeine in all of the right ways, so it's even sweeter for me. As far as addictive tendencies, it's one of the tamer painkillers. Does the job when a high dose of tylenol can't, and gives you a very low euphoria. (Or a morphine euphoria if you're me.) \\n Next up is Vicodin. While much stronger than T3, it seems to have the broadest spectrum regarding what it does to to the average person. Some people get high as all hell, other get sick, some just feel alright but nothing more. This was the one that I was given after I broke both of my feet. They couldn't double-boot me, and a wheelchair would have been impossible for me to utilize since I live on the third floor of a building with narrow hallways and no elevator. After being on it for a full month under consistent dosing, I withdrew. That sucked donkey-dick, but since it had only been a month, it was a far-cry from what higher dosing abusers would ever have to go through. To elaborate, I felt like I had the flu for a few days and experienced a longing for the warm feeling it gave me. \\n Morphine was what I got when I first entered the hospital as my appendix were about to go the way of the Dodo. I had never done any drugs or been prescribed any painkillers in my life. Might make me sound like some kind of addict saying so, but it feels like warm sunshine inside of your whole body. I think the best way to describe it is by saying \\\"You feel like sunshine.\\\" If you're only being given it while you're in the hospital for a few days, addiction is not a very big worry since that's not long enough to form a hard physiological dependency. Post-surgery, the amazing feeling form it went away. It had begun serving its intended purpose: Upper-echelon painkilling. I guess if you're in enough pain, what would get you high now just dulls the nerves. \\n Oxycodone (The thing in oxycontin, percocet, or just by itself ) is the mother of all take-home painkillers. If you've ever tried it's lonesome (not percocet, which is buffered with tylenol), it's very easy to see and understand how people get addicted to the stuff. When they say it's better than morphine, they're not kidding. It lasted much longer as well. The feeling it gave me was like God had entered my body. While stupidly effective and powerful, the biggest drawback is its tendency to become addictive VERY quickly. I had only been on it for a couple of weeks post-surgery after I left the hospital, and realized soon after that was something wrong. And by wrong, I mean I realized I was looking forward to and anticipating when I was to take my next dose. Literally, I would end up watching the clock and getting frustrated that I still had something like a half-hour to go. I figured with that kind of behavior, it was time to stop taking the damn things. While I didn't get sick from withdrawal or anything, the whole feeling from the cravings was akin to when I had quit smoking after 9 years as a 2-pack a day smoker. It's easy to see how this one is a recreational drug, but after my short experience with it, it's one of those things I would tell everyone never to fuck with unless you are absolutely in need of the strongest of painkillers.\",\n \"Summary: We're extremely protective over our eyes and have appropriate (though not necessarily logical) reflex actions to protect them. \\n Reflex actions aren't always logical. When someone falls, they stretch out their arms to catch themselves.

The next action is usually a ducking motion, bringing the hands up to the head and averting the face, placing the back to the danger. Essentially, you're protecting your eyes. The same can be seen with little kids playing T-Ball, or hell, even in someone who isn't confident playing catch. When the ball is hit or thrown, you'll notice that their head will cock to the side and the eyes will squint or close with their arms stretched out.

Consider that tap water is generally somewhere between a pH of 6.0 - 8.0 (Though usually hovering more around the 8.0 range in my experience.) The water company is going to claim that a bottle of water with a pH of 9.5 is going to make a difference, being more basic by 1.5 on the pH scale, while managing to bypass the acid bath that is your stomach and resist your amazing buffer of a bloodstream. \\n Coca Cola Classic, on the other hand, has a lovely pH somewhere in the range of 2.5, (a difference of ~pH 4 - 6) and your body has absolutely no issues resisting it. (We're going to ignore states of dehydration or malnourishment. Also, I know if your diet is made up of nothing but coke your body does all sorts of interesting things, to include the synthesis of methanol.) \\n It's also worthwhile to note that when we generally talk about \\\"calibration\\\" in consumer pH meters, you're talking about a deviation in the range of 0.2 - 0.5 on the super-shitty end of things. Any greater than that and you might as well use pH strips, which are also surprisingly accurate. Also, litmus strips aren't used to determine a precise pH. They're used generally to determine \\\"Is it an acid or a base?\\\" \\n Personally, I like to think that if I need special equipment to verify what you're saying is true, just what the fuck else did you put in that water?\",\n \"Summary: You actually do get what you pay for when it comes to furniture. A $250 sofa will probably last you a few years. A $1200 sofa will last decades and will probably come with a warranty that covers it for nearly a decade. If you want something that's going to last a long time, Ikea isn't the place to go.\\n\\nPost: Actually, good furniture is still around. I suppose one of the problems is that most people don't realize that places like Ikea (amongst other discount furniture stores) are intended temporary furniture with a finite life. Usually around 2 - 5 years or so. Note: That's not to say that places like Ikea don't have decent things; they're just few and far between. Here's one example: Are your desk drawers supported by wooden pegs or [glued dovetails]( \\n Furniture that lasts decades costs SUBSTANTIALLY more. Say the average couch at Ikea will cost you anywhere from $200 - $500. After about two or three years, you'll notice that the cushioning will start going flat, and the pillows start taking on an amorphous shape. My brother had this issue with a couch he bought a few years back. Around the same time, I forked out about $1600 for a good sofa and loveseat for my place. Three years later, and it still looks and feels just like the day I bought it. Any decent furniture store will also provide a 10 - 20 year warrantee. If springs get shot or cushions go flat, they'll more than likely get fixed free of charge. You don't need to shop at Ethan Allen to find things like this either. \\n The attraction to places like Ikea is the price. From a cost standpoint, most people would rather spend the $200 - $500 on a couch rather than $1200. The difference is going to be in quality and lifespan of the item. That in mind, if a furniture store has a main showroom and a factory outlet elsewhere in the building, the factory outlet is going to fall under the temporary furniture category. If you're looking to save some money, see if there are former floor models for sale from the main showroom. It can shave off a few hundred bucks.\",\n \"Summary: We can lift about 27,413.13 bottles of vodka into the sky. We'll say the .13 bottles are nips.

If we wanted to negate the whole idea of keeping the booze in bottles and just fill that fucker to capacity full of vodka, this would give a cargo mass of 1.124 million lbs, or more bluntly, 510 metric tons.

Diamonds burn.\\n\\nPost: G refers to what is known as \\\"free energy\\\". When you have something that is a negative value (ex. ∆G= -0.12), the process is considered to be spontaneous. That is, it happens all on its own without any help. The more negative the value, the more readily the reaction occurs. When you have a positive value, that means that you need to input energy (usually heat) in order to drive a reaction. These are \\\"non-spontaneous.\\\" \\n Degrading in this case refers to when something transforms from a more complex structure to a less complex structure. \\n Lattice energy is an effect pertaining to how different atoms (or molecules) are bonded together. Though the actual definition pertains to things that are ionically bonded (like salts), it is often used interchangeably to describe the nature of a \\\"crystal lattice\\\". This is related to how a compound is structured. Uniformed arrangements allow for a higher stability (think Jenga). Though a diamond technically has a small negative ∆G value (meaning it should turn into graphite all on its own), the energy required to disrupt the stability of crystal lattice is greater than that ∆G value. (Sometimes called quasi-stable, as you have two properties that contradict one-another.) This means that even though a diamond should degrade, it doesn't. \\n Remember that diamonds are still carbon. That being the case, because they're quasi-stable, they can and do burn. (Granted, it has to be pretty hot for them to burn.) You'll find cases where there was a house fire and family jewelry had been found with the diamonds burned away.\",\n \"Summary: You're changing your brains chemistry with drugs. If this changes anything regarding production of certain neuro-chemicals over time, then your brain won't be able to produce the necessary levels, as it has adapted. This is when we have addiction.

Chemical dependence all depends on what you're using. \\n Think about it like this. You are introducing a new chemical into your neurochemistry (or a new pathway). Over time, your body adapts to that pathway, adjusting its own chemistry to account for it. \\n Lets take cocaine as an example. The stimulant compound in cocaine keeps dopamine attached to nerve cells, inhibiting resorption. This increase in surface dopamine is what gives you the high. Over time, it will become less and less effective (look into people \\\"chasing the first high\\\"). This is where tolerance occurs. The amount of dopamine your brain now produces has adapted to the introduction of cocaine. \\n At this point, if the addiction is a strong one, the dopamine production in the brain now \\\"requires\\\" the presence of the active stimulant to function normally. If we remove the stimulant from the equation, the brain will not respond immediately to its absence. Instead, it will continue to produce dopamine at the \\\"new\\\" rate (which is a substantial reduction from the initial production rate). This new lack of dopamine will be expressed in many different ways for different people. In general, it will be a craving of the drug of choice. This is similar to how pregnant women crave strange food items. The body is trying to consume the necessary \\\"nutrients\\\" to maintain equilibrium. If this need is not met, the brain will continue to produce at this new lower rate.

What the plastic is means everything in cases like this. There are dozens of different kinds. \\n Most of the studies focusing on the toxicity of plastics are aimed at polystyrene and PVC which can produce interesting degradation products. These concerns are environmental. It wouldn't matter whether or not you microwave your food since the rate at which you are exposed to plastics in general wouldn't even experience the impact. Heating would be irrelevant anyway, since one of the largest advantages of plastics is that you can heat them (or even melt them) and they maintain their chemical/structural integrity and identity. That is, they don't change chemically. Lets also consider that the dose makes the poison. Something with the potential to become toxic doesn't necessarily make all associations with any dosage toxic. Hell, drink enough water in a single day and you can start to induce heart issues. Cobalt has many known toxicity issues, yet it's also an element with which our body uses in small doses to prevent our cells from destroying themselves from the inside-out. \\n If anything is \\\"leaching\\\" from the plastics, it would be leftovers from production on the surface of the material rather than from the plastic itself. The kind of thing that washing could take care of in one go. Any chemical changes beyond that would generally be combustion. You'll know when this is happening... In what would be considered \\\"food grade material\\\", companies have to take additional steps beyond this to ensure that there are no contaminates on the container itself.\",\n \"Summary: Interbuttz in the 80's/90's\\n\\nPost: I used to play a game called Mad Maze when I was little on a service called Prodigy. This was somewhere in the late 80's or early 90's. (It was before 92, as that's when my dad got a new computer.) I remember my dad hooking the computer up to the phone lines and my mom trying to explain to me what the internet was, but to hell with that, THERE WERE GAMES TO PLAY... On my dad's [IBM Model 5150]( It didn't have a mouse, so I pretty quickly learned how to use the prompt and navigate using keys only. At that time, the software was so limited in functionality in comparison to today's standards that this wasn't an issue at all. Once I learned how to log in and boot up my game, all was fine and dandy. \\n In my spare time a few years back, I remember searching to see if Prodigy still existed. At the time, they did, though they've since been cut up and sold off. In either case, I decided to poke and prod through the site to see if my old username and password worked. Sure as shit, they did. Though perhaps better than that was the fact that my old game in Mad Maze still existed. I then proceeded to nostalgia all over my keyboard and finally finish that damn game.\",\n \"Summary: Don't look too deeply into the awards they received. They're unrelated.\\n\\nPost: Saying that they were awarded medals in this context is fairly misleading. They were for separate actions unrelated to the incident. \\n On that note, maybe the idea comes from a lack of understanding of how military awards work. \\n The combat action ribbon is a blanket ribbon, not a personal award. If the boat was part of some kind of engagement, the boat rates the ribbon. (Ships have ribbon stacks just like the sailors would.) As such, if the ship gets a blanket ribbon, the entire crew gets one. Here's some context: If a Somali pirate were to randomly shoot at a ship and the ship answers back, the cook in the galley playing his Gameboy gets one. \\n Navy commendation medals (Usually just called NavComs) are typically given relative to an entire body of work or service over the course of several months/years. Unless there's a special circumstance, they are not relative to a single incident or action. It's somewhat common for staff officers (O4 and above) and staff enlisted (E7/E6 and above) to be given one when they're leaving a unit, ending a deployment, or nearing retirement. It's not some super prestigious award given by some super high ranking chief of staff, nor was it approved by some government official. Approval for the award wouldn't go beyond the ship's XO or captain. (That's not very far up the chain of command as far as personal awards are concerned.) They're more of an administrative award than anything else. If they're awarded with something like a [Combat V]( that's when they start becoming significant and prestigious. The V in this case being added in instances of combat valor. The key word here being combat. This can be said similarly for the Legion of Merit in the air wing. Hell, even the Bronze Star has fallen victim to this staff circle-jerking fuckery. Although the Bronze Star being handed out for stupid shit is more of an army thing than a navy one. \\n There's something of a running joke in the Marines about kiss-asses and pretty much everyone who works in an admin shop getting the Navy Achievement Medal. (More commonly called a NAM.) I can personally recall a number of people who were considered writhing pieces of shit getting them; usually because they worked under someone like a captain or sergeant major in an admin shop. This usually follows with speculation from others along the lines of \\\"Lance Corporal Schmuckatelli must give amazing head.\\\" or something of that nature. Unless that thing has a Combat V, it's not even mildly impressive. They're a dime a dozen. Neat to have, but not something that you can wave your dick about.\",\n \"Summary: Gun scams are quite common. They just differ in nature to retail scams.\\n\\nPost: Guns are always expensive as fuck. Go to a gun show sometime. Scammers aplenty. Usually they try to wave their dicks around about how much they know and that something isn't worth something. \\n The same goes for the sellers. I bought a nice .12ga pump a year ago. Everything checked out at the sale, and all I was looking for was something that I could use to go shoot trap with my dad (When I was in the scouts, I used to shoot with him. Thought it would be nice to do it again.) \\n Brought it to the range, cycled the pump once, and for some reason the gun stopped loading. Turned out, some obscure piece was taped together with electrical tape and wouldn't have been found short of fully disassembling the entire thing on the table at the show. Brought it to a smith who happened to be the guy who sold it to the seller I bought it from. He said that the guy knew. I guess he felt bad for me because he said he'd fix it free of charge. Also, the smith probably passed word around that so-and-so was selling busted weapons as functional. Although it sounds like that wouldn't do much, the same people tend to go to the same annual shows, and more than likely it would put a dent in his profits for a while.\",\n \"Summary: I needed something to take me away from work for a good while to let my brain defuse. Thanks for providing that. Also, don't take short survey polls as any kind of evidence for anything.\\n\\nPost: I'll take the Gallup poll. The same group that created a poll earlier that said 18% of Americans think the sun revolves around the Earth. I'd challenge you to find ONE person who thinks this who isn't 6. As someone who works a lot with numbers and statistics, their \\\"findings\\\" absolutely reek of intentional bias. \\n Today, you're going to learn one method of how a lot of these kinds of polls manipulate data. \\n >Interviews are conducted with respondents on landline telephones and cellular phones, with interviews conducted in Spanish for respondents who are primarily Spanish-speaking. Each sample includes a minimum quota of 400 cell phone respondents and 600 landline respondents per 1,000 national adults, with additional minimum quotas among landline respondents by region. Landline telephone numbers are chosen at random among listed telephone numbers. Cell phone numbers are selected using random-digit-dial methods. Landline respondents are chosen at random within each household on the basis of which member had the most recent birthday. \\n Stated, 400 cell phone respondents and 600 landline respondents per 1000 adults. But that's a density equation, not how many they actually did in the overall. For every three landline calls made, there was two cell-phone calls. (Stating that you did 2 cellphone and three landline calls per 5 adults would work too, but it doesn't make the whole thing look as substantial.) However, it was determined that there needs to be an additional quota on this density relative to region. This is skirting around how they got data from which regions. Contrast the Northeast with south of the Mason Dixon line, and you'll generate two VERY different numbers. \\n Questions not answered either in that article or on the Gallup site (the page and methodology/results PDF): What were the modifications relative to region and in which regions did this occur? Why were cellphones utilized at a frequency 1/3 less than that of landlines? Of the data collected, what did the visual map-spread look like? \\n Let's consider landline versus cellphone population. Age and relative wealth play as factors regarding cellphone usage versus landline usage. If we regard that the older generations tends to be more religious, then we start tugging on the results. Now let's add in income level versus tendency towards religion. Time of the calls also play a role. Mid-day, the general working population is going to be unavailable, leaving the unemployed and elderly (mostly, that can vary by place). It's the tendency of who is likely to have a landline over cellphone; one weighed over the other. In relative number, there are three times as many cell phones in use in the US as there are landlines, yet we'll bias the landlines... (Bringing back the Northeast example versus South of the Mason Dixon, guess which one of those nationally has more landlines per household than cellphones.) \\n There is also issue with the questions. Normally you reiterate the question in several different forms in order to prevent the data from skewing. This is an actual known and measured effect with regards to taking polls, and is typically accounted for when conducting surveys to obtain as accurate data as possible. Perhaps you've noticed this in polls you've taken; where the question being asked seems to repeats several times over. There's a good reason for that. \\n This tidbit is also interesting: \\n >In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls. \\n You can usually account for this kind of error. That thing I mentioned above? It's to prevent this. But hey, they'll just ignore it I suppose. \\n >All reported margins of sampling error include the computed design effects for weighting and sample design. \\n There's a statistics program called SPSS. It does sampling error by default on a few formats regarding surveys. Basically, they didn't really bother with any error propagation aside from some default settings. That or they didn't want to report that the program spat back a 30% confidence limit on their claim. \\n P-values? Standard deviation of the mean? Statistics relative to region? I mean, we're going to run statistics showing post-grad percentages from a sample of 1,000, right? So we're drawing a sample of 3% of the total US population that is postdoctoral, relate it to 97% people as similar, and draw those ~30 as comparable in number to the other 970 without generating relative uncertainty. (That's because if you do generate relative certainty, it would tell you the data is insignificant. There's ways to determine this such as the F-test or Student's T-test.) I'd still like to see their regional data. They said they collected that kind of information, yet for some reason it's missing completely. How about political affiliation. Tilt to either republican or democrat would probably let us know where the majority of the data originated.\",\n \"Summary: We can repeat these results when taking pictures of the moon from the Earth. [Here's a properly exposed image of the moon showing its surface features.]( Note the complete lack of stars.

You're about to get a nice detailed answer as to why you can't see the stars in the photo. This is more of the \\\"how\\\" than the \\\"why\\\". \\n Go outside tonight and take a picture of a street light with your camera. What ends up happening is the camera adjusts both shutter speed and aperture width to accommodate the light it's taking in. The differences in brightness between various things within a picture is also referred to \\\"dynamic range\\\". For now, we'll just concern ourselves with shutter speed, as its range is greater than that of an aperture. For aperture (known as a f-stop), just know that a larger number like f/22 can be almost a pinhole and needs to take in more light than something like f/1.4, which can be as wide as the lens itself. \\n Shutter speeds (given as fractions of a second) are dependent upon the sensitivity of the thing doing the image collecting; either a CCD, CMOS, film, or some other light collecting system. The variable in the collection medium is what's called ISO. The larger the value of the ISO, the more quickly you're able to collect light. The trade-off is that higher ISO values produce grainy images when you get into the ISO-1000+ range. Most digital point-and-shoot cameras and cell phone cameras generally have a variable range between ISO-200 to ISO-800. \\n Something that is bright requires a very fast exposure. In daylight hours, you're typically talking about something around the range of 1/60th of a second to 1/2000th of a second depending on lighting conditions. Under conditions of darkness and without flash, you're talking about exposures that can last anywhere from 1/60th of a second down to several seconds. Pictures you take indoors at night - say at a party or family gathering - are typically shot at between 1/30th of a second and 1/4th of a second. Since there is less light, the sensor/film needs to be exposed for a longer period of time in order to gather enough light to resolve an image. Though these times used in low light conditions are only fractions of a second, they're slower than you might think. If you've ever tried to take a picture indoors and found that the photo appears blurry, this is why. Small subtle movements quickly become noticeable. \\n KNOWING THIS INFORMATION: \\n Whenever you take a picture, you usually have something in particular that you want to take a picture of. What's the subject of interest? In this case, it's the surface of the Moon. When lit by the sun, the surface of the Moon is pretty much just as well lit as the surface of the Earth during the day. When you have a well lit foreground, this is going to cancel out anything that is dimmer than your point of focus. This identical to an effect you've seen multiple times before called silhouetting. In this picture or what her face looks like. These features in the picture are drowned out by something that is substantially brighter, because the camera did not let in enough light to resolve the features of those things less luminous. That's exactly the case with these images from the Moon and those take from the original Moon landings. While not silhouetting by definition, the concept is the same. The surface of the moon is SUBSTANTIALLY more luminous than the stars in the sky. The difference exceeds the dynamic range that the camera is capable of capturing in a single frame. Think of it like a dim little pocket key chain flashlight competing against a spotlight that a police helicopter would use. \\n So what would happen if we tried to include the stars in the picture? You would end up with an effect known as \\\"blown highlights\\\". In other words, there's a limit as to how much light information the sensor/film either can collect or is capable of collecting. When it reaches the upper limit of too much light, the color is translated as pure white. (Note in this photo Similarly, if the camera doesn't collect enough light information, you end up with a \\\"shadow\\\" which is nearly pure black. In the case of shadows, you almost always collect enough light to make at least some corrections in later editing. This means that at least some color information was captured. However, if the exposure was too fast relative to the luminosity of the dimmer object, no color information will be captured and you end up with pure black. This is once again due to the dynamic range and sensitivity of the sensor/film. \\n Shadows are almost always preferred over highlights. Since some of the color information is preserved, you have more to work with than a highlight which leaves pretty much nothing to work with. Unfortunately, highlights are easier to make than they are to avoid if you're dealing with things that are of a wide dynamic range. Lets take this into context. When taking a picture of the moon on its surface, the subject is going to be... Well... The moon. If I know that making the stars visible in the photo will completely blow out the surface, I'm not going to bother with them.

It wouldn't be hard to make an ass-kicking regimen out of these with modification. (Keep in mind, these are tentative.) It all basically boils down to intensity. You get out of it what you put into it. \\n \\n Pushups are good to go. Just make sure you keep your whole body straight the entire time. That crotch to the ground and half-way down bullshit doesn't do anything. You'll feel it in both your arms and abs if you're doing them right. \\n Planks are fine, but there's no timeframe placed on them. Try holding that position for three to five minutes starting out. Don't do these right after pushups though. Give your arms a little time to rest in between. Also, the plank tap is pretty much the same thing as the planks in general. If you want to switch that up, try holding the plank position in a half-way down pushup position. \\n The glute bridge... What the fuck is that... [Replace it with flutter kicks]( then keep your legs six inches off the ground for thirty seconds after you're done. \\n \\\"Spider lunges\\\", also known as mountain climbers , are substantially faster and more intense than the gif makes them seem. They're a real ass-kicker if you're doing them right. I've always felt that they're more cardio than they are muscle building. The Spiderman Crawl replacement depending on the distance you go with it. \\n Squats are fine. Hold your arms out further though so it's easier to balance. \\n The side lunge, jump lunge, reverse lunge, and and squat jump could easily be replaced by side-straddle hops (jumping jacks) and [regular old lunges]( If your knees aren't the best, replace jumping jacks with [sun gods]( If your knees are fine, do the sun gods anyway. \\n Replace the walkout with [8-count bodybuilders]( Those should give you a run for your money. \\n \\n It's worthwhile to note that you should stretch both before and after exercising. This is especially important if you go for a higher intensity workout. Also, work in increments. Don't go balls to the wall unless you want to injure yourself with a quickness. At the same time, don't cut yourself short. The goal should be to bring yourself well outside of your comfort zone. When you think you're at your limit - when you feel the burning in your arms/legs/abs - go just a little further.

In that time, I spent four years in the Marine Corps. I was nicknamed \\\"The ADD kid\\\", and apparently made a few naysayers believers that it was an actual condition. \\n Fast-forward to me in college in my third year. I was struggling with classes but still had a phenomenal GPA. One day, a friend who had switched meds asked me if I wanted his extra Concerta. It was my old dose from high school, so I figured what the hell. The difference was night and day. My good friends noted that I seemed more \\\"in control\\\" of myself, and they didn't know I was taking meds. Studying and doing work became easier, to where I considered myself working on par with the rest of the class. \\n I guess that experience was something of a reality check for me; that it was a real condition and that medication did work. That is to say, I still had to do the work, but it made things far less frustrating. Consider it like someone with bad vision finally getting glasses. They can operate alright without their glasses, but their glasses certainly do make life easier. Needless to say, I went to my doctor with all of my old paperwork requesting meds.

You're money can be more or less considered considered a contribution to the R&D of a product rather than paying for a product.

I then do something that is said to reduce my chances of the same cancer by 50%. If our chance is reduced then we go from 0.008 to 0.004. \\n Notably, the effect is not cumulative in the traditional sense. We have 50% and 20%, yet we don't mitigate the risk by 70% where the risk would go from 0.01 to 0.003. Instead, we're at 0.004; a 60% decrease from the initial. This is because the decreases are independent of one another. As we continue to add more and more things to decrease the risk, each becomes less and less significant as a smaller and smaller portion is altered. Essentially, you will never hit a zero chance. \\n Also consider that some things that decrease one risk may increase another. In the grand scheme of things, it becomes more and more complex. Realistically, exercising regularly (cardio), eating a well balanced diet, and limiting exposure to things like smoking can help prevent a great many of things. \\n On an unrelated note, I would just like to add that just because it's a \\\"Harvard study\\\" doesn't necessarily mean that it's any more impactful than a great number of other studies on the topic. It just means that that individual who published the piece happened to be at Harvard University. What's important is the science, not the name.\",\n \"Summary: I'm quitting smoking while on Zyban and Concerta. One diminishes the urge to smoke and the other exacerbates it. This is going to be interesting. \\n Sometime between Wednesday and Friday. Well, here goes nothing. \\n EDIT: Wow, I did ramble this out...\\n\\nPost: I shouldn't be surprised that this subreddit exists. I'm actually pretty thankful it does. A lot of the stories here are very encouraging and inspiring. As a general warning, this is probably going to turn into a ramble. I am not a man of few words. \\n This is going to be attempt number two for me, although that's something of a misnomer (will explain in a bit). The last time I tried to quit, I did so using Zyban (low dose Wellbutrin). I must say, it was actually extremely effective. While it doesn't get rid of the cravings, it does make them much more manageable. Rather than wanting to destroy everything around me when I get a heavy craving, I'm just more... er... irritable. The cravings also subside quicker. Alas, that attempt didn't work. I was taking the medications for the wrong reasons, as the realization that someone I loved dearly had moved from myself had just then sunk in. This translated into taking the meds for their antidepressant factor, rather than their quit-smoking factor. In either case, I started strong, got to a month without, and it all ended disastrously. \\n Tuesday, I had an emergency appendectomy preformed. It really wasn't until I was in the hospital for a day and a half that I realized that I hadn't had a single nicotine craving; at least not one where I end up pining for a cigarette. Given that finals had just happened in school (university), I knew that my system was saturated with nicotine. I guess it was that, that prompted me to think \\\"Look at me now. 36 hours and no burn. Hell, lets give this a try this summer.\\\" Frankly, I'm sick of every cold I get turning into bronchitis. \\n Before discharge, I asked the doctor who was handling my case if he could also put into the pharmacy for three months worth of Zyban (300mg/day Wellbutrin). This had to be deliberated, as I'm also on a moderately high dose of Concerta for my ADHDi. The verdict came back that the risks of drug interaction were far outweighed by the health benefits in a 27 year old man. Approved. Started taking the pills Wednesday. It's interesting to note that while Zyban decreases the urge to smoke, Concerta actually PUMPS IT UP! When I first started it, I easily doubled my cigarette count each day for the first month. It tapered back down after that. In either case, it's going to prove an interesting variable that wasn't present the last time around. \\n It takes about a week or two for Zyban to soak into your system. As such, you're actually encouraged to smoke during that time. (It's usually a week for most, but I've found for myself it really takes one and a half to two weeks, the latter being \\\"no-later-than\\\".) \\n One of the threads in the top section of this sub recommended a coffee method. I'm actually curious, this time around, to modify that a bit (it does sound like a decent aid if you ask me). Since my system is already saturated with a schedule 2 controlled substance (Concerta, which is methylphenidate, and at a moderately high dose), I'd like to substitute that instead of coffee. Granted, I'm likely not addicted to it in the way a meth addict would go through withdrawal, but I do know that stopping the meds immediately at my dose will present with some mild withdrawal symptoms, similar to those of coffee but a bit more intense. \\n My lovely lady is supportive, which is a great help to me. I told her a long time ago to get on my case about smoking; To look and talk to me shamefully every time I smoke. She's been complaining (for a long time) that \\\"Why do I even bother doing this? You're still smoking anyway!\\\" I still egg her on to keep doing it, even if I am still smoking. It does make me feel guilty, and establishing that stepping stone is crucial. As they say, all great journeys start with just a few simple steps. It's easier if there's already a stepping stone there. \\n Also, not being super-fucking-depressed like the last time is probably going to help out as well. I'm pretty sure that's what killed it last time.\"\n]","isConversational":false},"profile_size":{"kind":"number","value":29,"string":"29"},"task":{"kind":"string","value":"longlamp_4"},"split_kind":{"kind":"string","value":"user_based"},"id":{"kind":"number","value":5999,"string":"5,999"}}}],"truncated":false,"partial":false},"paginationData":{"pageIndex":59,"numItemsPerPage":100,"numTotalItems":11442,"offset":5900,"length":100}},"jwt":"eyJhbGciOiJFZERTQSJ9.eyJyZWFkIjp0cnVlLCJwZXJtaXNzaW9ucyI6eyJyZXBvLmNvbnRlbnQucmVhZCI6dHJ1ZX0sImlhdCI6MTc3ODc4NDk1Miwic3ViIjoiL2RhdGFzZXRzL01lbW9yeUFzTW9kYWxpdHkvTG9uZ0xhTVAtNCIsImV4cCI6MTc3ODc4ODU1MiwiaXNzIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9odWdnaW5nZmFjZS5jbyJ9.7OGIpNO7KJ89_iKkstf021C0UAcWtrmTHZRsGjDo7CUrk4nT6-alFJtqszjrNVOhGqd7bwvPIRNr_2SE635rAA","displayUrls":true,"splitSizeSummaries":[{"config":"default","split":"train","numRows":11442,"numBytesParquet":327934879},{"config":"default","split":"validation","numRows":2453,"numBytesParquet":70247290},{"config":"default","split":"test","numRows":2452,"numBytesParquet":69033351}]},"discussionsStats":{"closed":0,"open":1,"total":1},"fullWidth":true,"hasGatedAccess":true,"hasFullAccess":true,"isEmbedded":false,"savedQueries":{"community":[],"user":[]}}">
