I'll have you know, good sir, that WVU running back Shawne Alston tips the scale at 221 pounds....
which may explain why we want out of the Big East so badly.

"Energy has no mass and therefore no weight"
err.. m=E/c^2 /Einsteined
Nice try.
But that equation relates the amount of potential energy present within mass, i.e. the amount of energy that would be generated IF that mass were converted to pure energy. Likewise, it gives the amount of mass that would be generated IF pure energy were converted to mass.
So while energy can be converted into mass and vice versa, energy itself does not possess mass.

No one’s saying it’s okay to be an idiot. I’ll take a text from my wife if it’s something important, and text back. If it’s something that can wait, then it waits. If it’s “KID IS HURT”, I’m not waiting.
But then again, I’m an adult. I can make these determinations. Some 20 year olds can too. Some cannot.

/only college classes I had where attendence was taken
… were PE (where that was pretty much all that counted) and micro-econ (i.e. just enough social science-y to fulfill graduation requirements). Some others you pretty much had to be there if you wanted to pass (labs, discussions, etc.) but no one else did a roll call.
The only value to me being here, seriously, is
signing my name to the sign-in sheet, and listening to find out what historical facts he butchers, so I know what to have documentation for when I say the opposite in my paper.

But the teacher would post all his lecture notes on the Internet. Since that was my last class of the day I would show up for the first 20 minutes, sit in the back of the room, made sure I was accounted for in attendance, and then left.
I did it in political econ.

I didn't find out about OneNote until after 1L.
I was like SHIT WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN USING THIS FOR YEARS
I use OneNote to outline
but for class notes I prefer regular Word. I’d end up getting too distracted trying to organize things in OneNote during class that I’d miss significant portions of the lectures. With Word I just type and type and type and dont worry about formatting/organizing anything until its time to outline.
I used it for everything 2L.
If you want to refer back to a case from a couple weeks ago, you can just Ctrl+E and find it right away instead of just searching through a million different Word documents. So much easier.
Oh, I had one word doc per course
so I used the ctrl-f feature when I needed to and could find anything from any previous class.
Both of you:
I get it. You’re smart cookies. Yes you’re there to learn and paying for it (kinda sorta mostly). I routinely got bored in classes back in OMG 1999-2003. And for engineering classes I had a SHIT TON OF BORING LECTURES. You know what I would during them? Homework for my other classes. There was a text book on my desk, and notebook, and a writing utensil. Teachers could see me, tell whether or not I was paying attention, and it LOOKED LIKE i was taking notes for their class.
There are other alternatives out there to distract you from listening. And unless you’re going to get dropped for not going to class and the computer is so OMFGWTFBBQ necessary just don’t fucking go. But don’t BITCH about people asking you to follow a rule in THEIR class.

Partly I was good at writing a minimal set
such that I could quickly derive everything else from there on the fly if needed. But I wrote tiny too. One of my college friends still gives me crap about it – we had Card Game Night pretty much every night junior year, with old notebooks being used for scorekeeping. If he was keeping score, we could fit about three or four games on one side of a sheet of paper. If I kept score, we could fit about 50.

"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." -Bertrand Russell
Ironically,
You’ll rarely find computers in a computer science course (unless the professor designs it otherwise). At least, not among those who are actually getting decent grades.
I agree with this.
Though I will say that sometimes in a lecture, a group of friends sitting together in the back of the lecture hall with their laptops talking about what they’re all doing on Facebook can be a real distraction for the rest of us (me, at the very least).
When this happens, I have no problem with the professor saying, “Close the laptops, or GTFO.”
Why would they talk and actually disrupt the class
when they could just chat on facebook or gmail?

If that's what they're doing, of course.

we have way too many meetings that you have to go to and only give a f about 5 minuites of a 2 hour meeting.
Yeah
With me, it used to be that the main meeting I had every week was about a 90-minute session in which various people had to present project info to me so that I could determine (a) what I’d need to do and (b) when I could do it for them. Because a time-driven agenda wasn’t feasible, that meant a lot of folks had to show up at the start of the meeting and potentially wait 90 minutes for their turn.
As long as they weren’t being disruptive, then fine; fiddle with your laptop or your phone (or get some work done sitting at the conference table). Your attention, until your item(s) came up, wasn’t required.

Absolutely.
For example, I do not require traffic regulations in order to ensure that I am driving safely. None of us here require a law to tell us not to steal shit or assault people or kill people.
Laws and rules are in place because there are people who do not comprehend boundaries of acceptable behavior. And that statement applies just as much to “no laptops in my class” as it does to “no littering”.

Yeaaaaaah, wellllll...
Where would you have learned how to drive safely without being taught the rules of the road? “This is a nice wide road. What’s that double yellow line down the middle for? I don’t know, but boy I sure do have a lot of room to AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!” [crashes head on into another person who doesn’t know what the double yellow line is for]
Laws and rules are in place because laws and rules are what let us know what the bounds of acceptable behavior are.
THAT BEING SAID, there sure are a lot of unnecessary laws and regulations out there. But to imply that we are all such special snowflakes that we would inherently know not to steal from each other without being told its wrong is to ignore the behavior of every little boy and girl ever born.

I had one class, that wasnt even a real class, just a once a week thing that you took while interning for the other 4 days. I got dinged for having my laptop open and having email and shit open. You know what they also said? That I was the most productive and engaged member of the class and that I drove discussion. If it distracts other people, that’s well and good, but all too often it’s just as likely a power thing. Which is, well, kinda BS. We get tested and we have to write essays. Treat us like adults (sort of like you get treated in a work environment) and evaluate us by how well we know the material and do the work. Even if the laptop is closed, i’m probably still not paying that much attention if the class is that boring.

I'm commenting on a broader issue
If I had a professor who said put away your laptop, I’d roll my eyes, put away the laptop, and move on with life. However, I also had professors who were completely uninterested in dissent from any of their ideas, and would fail you if you did not follow their party line. It may be different since we studied different fields (yours is most objective, mine is decidedly not), but the fact was, I had no recourse against what were some pretty shitty things done by my professors, even though I was the one paying thousands of dollars to be there.

Add that to a major that is so subjective there was little to no recourse if you were failed unfairly, and it basically meant suffering or changing majors.

i interned with a government regulatory body
we had a 80 person status meeting everyday that lasted 1.5 hr. Only like 10 people got to sit at the conference table and the rest sat in chairs that lined the wall. Every day 10+ people would fall asleep in the meeting. there were six of us interns and we would bet on who would fall asleep first.
I hope smartphones are allowed in this meeting now for the sanity of the people who sit along the edge and never say anything.
That... is just bullshit.
For starters, you shouldn’t need that many people for a fucking status meeting. Status meetings are something you do on a team level, then the team managers have a status meeting with their superior, and so on up the chain.

I’d say Million Dollar Baby, Chicago, A Beautiful Mind, and The English Patient were all the worst of their years. Forrest Gump is saved only by being better than Four Weddings and a Funeral, and Gladiator only by Chocolat. I’d also say Shakespeare in Love is marginally better than Life is Beautiful.
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." -Bertrand Russell
I agree on English Patient
I considered A Beautiful Mind but didn’t see In the Bedroom so I didn’t list it.
I’d put Chicago ahead of The Hours. Other than Sideways, I’m equally “meh” on all of the movies from the Million Dollar Baby year.
I don’t think SiL is nearly as good as Life is Beautiful, but it is the next weakest. The other three movies would all deserve to win in many years.

Could someone explain the anti-Shakespeare in Love sentiment?
I don’t get it. I’m not saying it definitely deserved best picture over the others, but it was certainly one of the best movies of that year in my book.
"I have never been noticeably reticent about talking on subjects about which I know nothing." Prince Phillip
Partially because it wasn't very good,
but mostly because it beat out one of the greatest war movies of all time (Saving Private Ryan).

I think the latter is the reason for most of the hate.
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." -Bertrand Russell
See, I'll give you the second one - Saving Private Ryan is fucking incredible.
But I disagree about Shakespeare in Love on its own being not very good. Of course, I love Tom Stoppard, but it’s not even a particularly Stoppard-y movie. I suppose I’ll just chalk it up to differing tastes. AGAIN.

The Thin Red Line has way more gripping battle sequences, but their sandwiched between just the worst voiceover narration anywhere.
Ben Affleck was the best part of Shakespeare in Love, also.
Out of Sight was by far the best movie of 1998. Or maybe Pleasantville. Or could be A Simple Plan.

It's OK, but not worth seeing again
Saving Private Ryan holds up repeatedly (other than a weakish ending). Thin Red Line is great and I’ve rewatched it several times. Elizabeth is bad ass and quite underrated )Geoffrey Rush should have been nominated for this performance instead). Life Is Beautiful has some very touching moments and a star-turn performance.
SiL is a cute, okayish romance with some funny lines that these days would star Ryan Gosling. The best five minutes of the movie were the end with Judi Dench. I wish everyone else had been as good as her.

I'm not saying the Oscars are good, or right, or relevant.
But they occasionally recognize excellence, or at least goodness. Both The Descendants and The Artist are very, very good movies. The Grammys at their best recognize mediocrity, and more often recognize the worst “music” being made.
Then again, I have hated every piece of music that was “popular” since about 1996, so I’m probably not the person to ask here. Get off my lawn.
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." -Bertrand Russell

The Grammys did get something right last year, at least in terms of “picking the right winner from the nominees” if not getting the nominations right.

I honestly don't think it's humanly possible
to have a music awards ceremony of any sort which makes rational sense which is voted on by committee. You just can’t. For everyone out there who recognizes the genius of a Porcupine Tree (just to throw an example), there are a dozen who’ve never heard of them, and a dozen who Don’t Get It.
Meanwhile, for everyone out there who realizes that Justin Bieber is crap, there’s a couple of people who honestly think he deserves to win. From that point, you reach the Plurality Event Horizon, and it becomes impossible for anything outside the overplayed mainstream to win. Even Arcade Fire only won because those segments of the media that are going to play Arcade Fire to begin with were playing two Arcade Fire songs an hour, thus oversaturating the market.

For some reason I could never get tired of playing The Suburbs front to back, save for “Month of May” (which OF COURSE they performed at The Grammy’s instead of the 15 other songs on that album), whereas I have to be in the mood to listen to something off Funeral outside of “Rebellion (Lies)” (which I will say is still their best song, though), the first 3 Neighborhoods, and maybe “Crown of Love”. Yes I kinda have to be in the mood to listen to “Wake Up”.

Doesn't explain why the Central time zone is basically split down the middle.
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." -Bertrand Russell
A detailed analysis and explanation of the Central Time Zone SuperBowl Day Preference
1. North Dakota picks Sunday because they’re too busy shoveling snow on Saturdays
2. South Dakota picks Saturday on account of how they CANNOT BE SEEN DOING THE SAME THING AS North Dakota
3. Nebraska picks Sunday because there’s NOTHING TO DO IN NEBRASKA ON A SUNDAY
4. Kansas picks Saturday because they don’t want to drive late night all the way back from St Louis where they go to see the game because the sports bars are just better in St Louis than anything in Kansas
5. Oklahoma picks Sunday because ANYTHING TEXAS CAN DO IT CAN DO TOO
6. Texas picks Sunday because you need the extra day to recover from Friday night drinkin, son, no chance of waking up in time for the game, otherwise
7. Louisiana picks Saturday because people in LA can party on any night of the week and wake the hell up when they want
8. Arkansas picks Sunday because they’ve got nowhere to go on Monday, so what does it matter
9. Mississippi is a god-fearing, Bible-obeying state, GOD DAMN IT

I'm genuinely confused by this.
It doesn’t divide by time zones, which would make sense, or by religious attitudes, which would make sense… why is it like this?
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." -Bertrand Russell
It's not far off from time zones when you account for the fact that South Dakota's major population center is on the far eastern edge.
Kansas isn’t far off.
Central Time Zone has 5 states saying one thing, the rest the other.

Is where Williamsburg was 10 years ago. Old, ethnic, family oriented neighborhood really close to the city and with low crime.

Partnership and corporate tax are usually taught as 2 different courses
LLCs are relatively simple: you get to choose whether you want to be taxed as a corp or a partnership (“check the box.”). I don’t know how S corps work, but I think the gist is as long as you stay below a certain #shares, you can still be taxed as a partnership.
Sposed to be SEC
S Corps generally have pass-through taxation...
I really wish my school offered partnership tax though.

That’s sort of bizarre.
The consensus here is that it’s much less material but it is conceptually more difficult. It’s the same professor and the same book so I think that’s probably a reliable statement.

Once I finish up here, I'll have taken six tax courses for only fifteen total hours:
Fed. Ind. Income – 4 Hrs.
Fed. Estate and Gift – 2 Hrs.
Tax Ethics – 2 Hrs. (writing)
Tax Policy Seminar – 2 hrs. (writing)
Fed. Corp. Income – 3 hrs.
Fed. Tax Procedure – 2 hrs.
One semester they offered real estate transaction tax (conflicted with a mandatory Con. Law class my 2L year) and they flirted with International tax, but never ended up offering it. That’s every level they had/have at the school since I’ve been there, and they don’t have a tax LL.M program.

We didn't get too deep into it.
It was basically just “hey, here’s this thing that’s different from most people’s taxes.”
Yeah, I don't think we even hit the AMT in my Federal Tax of Individual Income class, and it was a four credit course.
Most of the intro stuff is pretty straightforward, though.

good tax lawyers will always be in demand, unlike a lot of legal sectors, so if you’re good at it…
It was miserable.
Partially because it was tax, partially because of the professor. The only redeeming thing was that I sat next to an attractive girl who provided an incredible distraction.
My professor is almost comically boring.
He’s basically the Platonic ideal of a tax professor.
There’s an attractive girl who sits behind me, but that doesn’t really help anything.
Ours knew her shit but I don't think had taught before
So she didn’t do a great job of conveying things, and didn’t have a ton of patience with those of us who didn’t quite understand everything immediately. I muddled my way through thanks to a friend who took tax law the year before with a different professor and another friend who is a CPA.

And there are indeed languages without words for numbers, just for large versus small quantities. If you give one four rocks, and one five, they will say the latter has more rocks UNLESS there is a third person with fifteen rocks, in which case they will say the first two people have exactly the same.

If you don't have a way of distinguishing the idea of "four" from the idea of "five"
You would call them both the same thing, and according to studies, you would perceive them as the same.
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." -Bertrand Russell
This actually came up in the book-
I believe he started with people who had concepts for one, two, and “many”…
Interestingly enough, they’ve apparently done studies that show the human brain can recognize how many are in a group of up to four, but once five hits, counting becomes necessary

That fits in with a lot of things about music, interestingly. The human mind can only listen to four melodies at once; after that, it blends two together. It’s why most choral music is written in four parts.
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." -Bertrand Russell

Yeah, lemme see if I can find it.
The basics are, there are languages that don’t have absolute numbers, only “more than” and “less than,” which drastically changes the way the people who speak said languages perceive quantity.

The fish add more than just salt, and they melt away when you saute them, so you don’t get a huge piece of anchovy either.

Accelerate had its moments.
The title track is better as played live, but “Living Well is the Best Revenge” and “Houston” are pretty good..

I really should clarify
that when I say everything post-Automatic sucks, it’s all relative. There’s actually a LOT of post-Automatic stuff that I consider perfectly acceptable. It’s just that almost none of it stands out enough for me to cite it as exceptions.

My favorite song from Out of Time. In your face, Losing my Religion.

Only two songs from Out Of Time I really like.
Can occasionally do Shiny Happy/Radio Song, but that’s rare.

I didn't realize former ESPNer Jack Edwars did play-by-play for the Bruins.
He’s quite good.

Just wait until a Bruins-Canadiens playoff game
He’s hilarious when he’s trolling on the Habs with long-winded rants

There was a copy of this picture captioned with “THAT’S REAL FUCKIN’ NEATO”, which was a frequent replacement for the spider/T-Rex pics over the summer (particularly after the Women’s World Cup).

Holy shit, that was more oversized than I thought. Forgot to preview. Sorry.

I thought it was understood that Alex Morgan pics didn't need to adhere to size standards.

Well, yes, but I would have posted it at "moderately oversized" instead of "triple the height of the screen".

Nah
this is basically a forum, which is an concept far older than social media

A political science class I take has a hashtag for the SOTU
I now feel like the only moderate in the class

Thank you thank you
Yeah, I’m trying to earn some brownie points for that class by contributing to the hashtag. The problem? Well, same point as above #AllTheSpiders
Twitter: RyanMcD29
Yeah I looked at the hashtag
some people made some funny comments. One dude is a hyper-spider dumbass. But kudos too you for trying to earn brownie points.
Best way to prove hat though is by responding to other’s tweets with wit/comedy. Otherwise it’s just 20 people shouting on the same hashtag and no one listening and responding…which is pointless

Did we move to the other thread or are we still here?
