You're not wrong.I'm pretty sure there are none out there. If this hypothesis is correct, Bill's and Hillary's nonsense would have found them already.

That's pretty crazy.So there's a violent KKK protest going on an hour and some change from me lol. Incidentally, I also just learned that open carry is legal without a permit here.
There were a bunch of counterproters that gathered after the rally was broken up, and a neo-Nazi drove a car through the crowd, killing one and injuring like 35.That's pretty crazy.
Let's not conflate the number of blm deaths with far right extremist related deaths.Not surprised. In the video, the dingus drove his car into another car and pushed that vehicle through a large group of people. Very messed up.
@tessellations
This is really just par for the course. A year or two ago, BLM supporters were running around beating Bosnians to death with hammers. Then cop killing groups were executing cops in their cars. Now White Nationalists are running over counterprotestors. And before BLM, it was someone else.
Just keep your head on a swivel. This stuff has been going on for a while.

Who is More of a Threat: Far-Right or Muslim Extremists?
Your initial comment seemed straight out of a fox news discussion panel. Where you focused more on BLM deaths vs actual extreme right wing deaths. Mentioning the two together is usually a tactic to say " look the other side is just as bad". Therefore my concern about conflating the two together.No one is conflating anything. BLM supporters killed dozens of people and over a dozen cops. White Nationalists have killed hundreds at least.
But if you want to take BLM in context with all Muslim supporters, we can do that. There are thousands of deaths at their hands.
Quick note: I'm not anti-Muslim, nor do I think all Muslims are inherently violent, nor do I think they are our greatest domestic threat (foreign is a different story, in which case radical Muslim terrorist groups are a huge threat).

I am unsure how you are connecting BLM with all muslims. Is that because some black people are muslim?
This comic might just be too real.
I'm just catching up after being away for several weeks, but I read John Adams by David McCullough, The Martian Chronicles by Bradbury, and The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis. And Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman. Those are all pretty different from each other, but I would highly recommend all of them.Anyone read anything good recently?
Hey guys after a much-needed vacation I'm back! I went off to a wedding in Ohio, then went backpacking and stuff in Utah and New Mexico, then my computer broke. Now I'm back, before I get to join the ranks of people switching coasts--my wife just got an awesome job out in New England making over triple what we made combined last year!

@Cyberdyne 101 @Matthew9Thirtyfive I went camping/backpacking down there with my brother and with a friend. My friend is at Los Alamos as an intern, so I decided that visiting him was a good an excuse as any to go enjoy the area. We went up by Williams Lake/Wheeler Peak and spent a couple of days exploring that area, then we got lazy and just went to a campsite kind of close by near Taos.
Even though I knew that we were going to be in mountain/highlands, I had been watching too much Breaking Bad (and the weather, to be fair to myself) and came prepared for being in the desert. Instead, the warmest it got was 70 and I'm pretty sure it hit freezing one night. It also rained every day, and my rain fly got completely saturated and was beginning to leak by the last night. I would do it again in a heartbeat though, it was super fun.
My family had been vacationing near Bear Lake, UT, and the drive from Bear Lake to Taos was one of the most beautiful drives I have ever been on. Bear Lake is gorgeous, then we drove down past Park City, then past Arches/Canyonlands national parks, then through Colorado, then down into NM through Carson National Forest. Every time I go out to the Rockies (or just the Mountain West in general) I kind of have to ask myself why I don't just become a mountain man.
@cactusman @tessellations @shadow522 @Endoxifen @Lawper @JoaoMoutinho @libertyyne @freak7 @Matthew9Thirtyfive
this is me, but with puppies.
and this is especially for the scientists in the thread.
Return of @Matthew9Thirtyfive @freak7 bump!
But wait, what's this? @libertyyne @eteshoe @shadow522 @JoaoMoutinho surprise bump!
I see bad math in movies/tv a lot. It usually involves physicists doing a bunch of complex looking math on a chalk board that makes no sense.
Even worst are the people who do the equations on a clear board/window. Seems like the most asinine way to stay focused on the task at hand if you see all the stuff on the other side.
Any of you guys use an i-clicker in any of your classes?
You mean extensionsand how annoying the semantics across different fields can be.
I used one in undergrad like 5 years ago lol, but in med school we use an app called Poll Everywhere instead

We use a web based poll system in our classes i think its called participoll.
Well everybody, I'm extremely happy to announce that little miss freak8 is here and is making me not regret the deferment one bit.
I don't know what system she uses. She just sent an email out to the class telling us to bring our clickers to the first lecture. I've never used them before. What do you do with them?
Congrats! Sleep as much as possible if you can the first night/day. Dont feel bad having the hospital nurses people help out .Well everybody, I'm extremely happy to announce that little miss freak8 is here and is making me not regret the deferment one bit.
Congrats to you and your wife!!!! I hope you have a great year with your little one before the craziness of med school!Well everybody, I'm extremely happy to announce that little miss freak8 is here and is making me not regret the deferment one bit.
I've used one pretty much every semester in college. I've actually owned two because I lost my first one junior year, haha.Any of you guys use an i-clicker in any of your classes?
Hopefully she specified that iClicker is the right brand. They're easy to use. You register your school ID with your clicker number online so that whenever you send in responses from the clicker, your instructor has your answer with your name. In class you sync the clicker to the instructor's device and then just select multi choice answers. The instructor will probably give you instructions for registering and syncing.

It is a good tool to see if people are following you/ paying attention. pop quizzes, quick surveys etc. Its not to terrible and makes the class a little more interactive compared to just passive note taking.I guess I just don't get the point of it haha. I'm old school.
