I always thought I had a decent vocabulary, but reading this paragraph made me realize, not really.

A similar process to dehiscence occurs in some flower buds (e.g., Platycodon, Fuchsia), but this is rarely referred to as dehiscence unless circumscissile dehiscence is involved; anthesis is the usual term for the opening of flowers. Dehiscence may or may not involve the loss of a structure through the process of abscission. The lost structures are said to be caducous.

Jargon. Happens any time I read a paper outside my field. I have to spend an hour per page, most of it researching assumed concepts, the rest trying to understand the basis of the sentence structure used.

No can do.
My phone has all the course related material (class notes, slides, etc.), my mind maps, my flash cards, my graphers(3D, parametric and polar), my to-do-list (without which I'm lost) and of course the PF app...

Do you use it while walking/driving?

Driving-nope
walking- rarely, to check my time table
eating- sometimes (like now) for PF
The one thing I don't like using my phone for is talking...

I am almost always running into students (while on my bike) who are walking around in zombie smartphone posture.

For Evo: Liberté, égalité, fraternité, and Mireille Mathieu (I like that version):

It's hard to beat the Itailan anthem - sounds like the sort of grand opera chorus that's so bad it's actually good. And the lyrics are just surreal.

Whew, what a day. Worst migraine I've had in a looooong time.

I'm really wiped out.

I hope you feel OK now.

Men, apparently, don't get migraines.

I learned this, by talking to girls.

/me hugs lisab, as she does not deserve migraines.

Looking back upon what I have done, I don't know what I have been through. What actually am I trying to reach ? If I can land a job with a huge amount of salary, then what is next after 3-5 years then ? What else will I have to deal with then ?
I'm sitting at my desk working from 9 to 5. If I have works to do, then it fills up my 8 hours of work, if there are less tasks to do, I expect to set myself free by doing what I like, e.g going out having some food, coffee, or even going to home. Why does my boss expect me to sit there till 5 ?
My question, is there any company that satisfies my inquiries better than that I have to align myself with theirs ?:)

No way, I mean NO WAY!
It feels like screwing the hell out of my brain, literally. It was painful.

If the water has the correct concentration of salt, it shouldn't hurt at all. Plain water really stings though.

I've used cheese, although I don't recommend it. (do not sneeze while swallowing cheese)

I think Russia's National Anthem is possibly the best one in the world:

The Italian is nice, but I think I have to agree with Pythagorean, the Russian anthem is magnificient.

And I can't resist posting a little Beethoven Symphony No. 9 (anthem of European Union, lyrics here):

Neti pot usage (pictured above) feels awesome, but in a kind of disgusting way. It is about the right concentration of salt as mentioned. Mine broke a while ago and I haven't bought another one.

How do I go about getting a person sainted? My combinatorics professor actually postponed a test because "I realized a lot of you have other things going on the same day/week as our test." He put it up to a vote and it was moved.

I'm sure I can convince the new pope. He seems open.

I think the Mexican National Anthem is the catchiest I've heard. When sung by full chorus, it sounds like the finale to an operetta called, "Mexico!"

Here's a very good solo rendition (no need to listen to all 10 minutes though):

I need to stop sharing my thoughts...

My two favorite scientist people at work today, almost made my brain explode.

My third favorite scientist, understood, what I was talking about.

She understands boats.

I don't know why, but I have never found George Carlin funny. Sometimes insightful, but never funny. I realize this is like, something I'm not supposed to admit. But it's true.
