You can reduce the risk of kidney stones by drinking at least 8 glasses of water each day. In rare cases, math can cause serious brain tumors, and anemia, a loss of red blood cells. This may show up as extreme fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes), or rust-colored urine. math can also cause upset stomach, bloating, and skin rash. math may cause "frozen shoulder." Also called adhesive capsulitis, this is a reduced range of motion and pain in the shoulder. Pregnant women, the elderly, and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to math. Caution: math may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds. math contains a liquid core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at. Do not use math on concrete. Discontinue use of math if any of the following occurs: itching, vertigo, dizziness, tingling in extremities, loss of balance or coordination, slurred speech, temporary blindness, profuse sweating, or heart palpitations. Call a doctor immediately if an erection lasts more than 4 hours. If math begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head. math may stick to certain types of skin. When not in use, math should be returned to its special container and kept under refrigeration. Failure to do so relieves the makers of math, Wacky Posts Incorporated, and its parent company, Global Chemical Unlimited, of any and all liability. Ingredients of math include an unknown glowing green substance which fell to Earth, presumably from outer space. math has been shipped to our troops in Saudi Arabia and is being dropped by our warplanes on Iraq.

Well it sounds very good to the ear at least. Smiley: smile

With as crazy and risky as some people's research projects can get, and of course knowing nothing but what you've written, it sounds like a really solid way to get your foot in the door while giving a chance for some solid learning stuff to happen.

Also, yay math. Smiley: yippee

Yeah, it's purely theoretical.

But that's a requirement of my degree. I wasn't even allowed to pick an experimental project. I was allowed to pick one about writing an iOS app to assist younger undergrads with their learnings... that's my third choice, but honestly, I should get my first choice without problems; no one else even looked at it twice from what others have told me and I'm pretty sure this is born out of me asking the professor for this kind of project.

Also, I just found this: https://www.simonsfoundation.org/quanta/20130917-a-jewel-at-the-heart-of-quantum-physics/

Probably for the best; my first project was making a set of data people could use to write software. Boring as all whatnot, but looking back I've gotten a lot of mileage out of it, and it's still my most cited paper.

Is pretty, I want one. Smiley: drool

Particle physics is interesting. Trying to make guesses about how the universe functions when you can only really grasp a small fraction of the matter/energy in the universe must keep one's brain occupied into the wee hours of the morning.

I think in quantum chemistry the easy way to get a paper that's cited a lot is to run a bunch of benchmarks on different methods. Which I did last year, and it was pretty boring.

My flatmate during my internship this year kept referring to me as a particle physicist; couple that with me living with a bunch of mathematicians in NL and I am way down into the particle physics and abstract algebra now. I think tomorrow I will find a mathematician to ask random questions.

Also found another textbook to get from the library. This.

That is way too complicated for my pre-coffee brain (and likely post coffee too) but it looks pretty.

Hey, I don't get it either. I get why it's good but I'm not actually a particle physicist, despite what people say.

customink.com is where I usually go when I want a shirt made. They've been pretty good.

Oh and aside from truck tarp, the other materials are car seatbelt (shoulder strap) and bicycle inner tubes (edges n stuff) so it's all recycled.


Wait, so it's made from recycled stuff and it still costs that much?

How?

Handmade + design + unique (the print anyway).

I use streetshirts. It's good, and no international shipping. I'm still in the UK.

That T-shirt happens to cost £37, though. Too much print or something.
