Random non-MCAT and only peripherally related to the MCAT thread - Part 5

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's the thread!

Not sure what the Random thread is all about? Well, here's the answer to all your questions.

It's basically a restaurant. That serves breaststicks. And lots of cute fruit and veggies. And is patronized by a HO. And Tucker Carlson. Vin Diesel, too. Lots of race car drivers eat here, as well. We're very well respected by the Amish... one girl in particular is here almost all the time.

The food is great if you're low on iron. It's not on the menu, but you can ask about the special secret garlic cure home recipe. One of the hostesses often makes weather predictions, but she's not always around. I think she has another job with the government. Or a government. Something like that. One of the other hostesses says "Bitch, please," a lot, but she's joking... don't take it personally.

Forget anything you've heard about the girl who died here from arsenic poisoning. That was a long time ago, and she's still alive, anyway... just busy so she doesn't come in as much. Besides, a little arsenic adds a lot of flavor to just about any dish.

Pretty flowers by the entrance, hey? Lilis, they are. Beautiful. And the music is totally hopping... we have our very own DJ. Looks a little like Brad Pitt.

I guess that's pretty much all you need to know. I'm usually in the corner booth over there drinking a nice glass of wine. You're welcome to join me, anytime. We're open 24/7.


Congratulations to everyone who made Part 4 such a kickass thread!!!

RAD, how's the verbal coming?

 

[Dr Durden]

I loved my senior year. I didn't have to worry about applications or interviews, nothing.

Hopefully I'll have an acceptance in hand before spring semester starts. I fully intend to coast into my diploma.

 

[RAD11]

I wish I was more serious pre-med during undergrad....

I wish I could've had some Sept. interviews and possible acceptance of Oct. That would've been awesome.

 

[RAD11]

Yeah taking a break from it...........I need an Aha!! moment.

Don't burn yourself out too early. You have plenty of time.

 

[Dr Durden]

I wish I was more sa erious pre-med during undergrad....

I wasn't serious until last winter. I totally despised most pre-meds I knew.

 

[Dr Durden]

Hard to do that when you're not starting secondaries yet. 😉

 

[RAD11]

What's your first choice of school? Anyone can answer.

Whoever writes me the biggest check. I'm a ***** when it comes to more things than posting. 😀

 

[RAD11]

No I'm not really timing myself as of yet....doing a passage at a time....trying to analyze it more. I want something from the page to jump out at me and hit me in the face 😎

 

[da_donut]

Why did you go for external HD? Laptop?

yea laptop.

almost maxed out my 100GB HD. I guess I should just burn all the movies and stuff but CDs have a way of getting lost/misplaced.

I'm still not fully understanding merit scholarships...

Were you always a pre-med? I can't really tell b/c of your major.

 

[Nikki2002]

hey cutie... me too 😀

oh well then lets be study buddies😉 😍

 

[RAD11]

Hahaha

 

[deleted106503]

100gb HD and only CD-RW? Mine has a CD-RW, too, and I hate it. I wish I had DVD-RW.

 

[RAD11]

Why what's his major?

 

[deleted106503]

No first choice yet. Haven't visited any schools. Even though the in-state ones are cheaper, when you add in all the costs for 4 years, it's pretty much the same. So without merit scholarship (which I won't get), they're all on the same footing right now.

 

[da_donut]

100gb HD and only CD-RW? Mine has a CD-RW, too, and I hate it. I wish I had DVD-RW.

no mine has a DVD RW. I really should just burn everything but I dunno why I want the hard drive. Maybe because its quicker the burning.

 

[Dr Durden]

Were you always a pre-med? I can't really tell b/c of your major.

I came in as a civil engineer, then switched into chemical as a freshman. Thought I was interested in pharmaceuticals, then I realized grad school was not for me. All of my pre-reqs were covered in my major and concentration except for english, which is why I wake up at 8 AM three times a week.

 

[RAD11]

SDN is going on and offline for me......anyone experiencing this?

Agreed. 👍

It takes me 10 minutes to burn a single CD, lol! Each F1 race takes 2 CDs!

 

[deleted106503]

Oh sh....the Turkey GP is up on torrent! I gotta get to burning NOW!

 

[deleted106503]

SDN is going on and offline for me......anyone experiencing this?

Nope, but it is slow sometimes.

 

[deleted106503]

Okay, I take that back. Posting seems to have a delay and sometimes timing out.

 

[RAD11]

Nope, but it is slow sometimes.

It's probably my verzion connection 😡

 

[deleted106503]

It's probably my verzion connection 😡

I dont' seem to have any problems on other sites.

 

[Anastasis]

sucks ana. the patient has renal failure though? dialysis is covered by the feds for free. its one of those exceptions to what they will pay for.

For American citizens they will. 🙁

 

[da_donut]

yea I should burn crap as soon as I d/l it but it just accumulates.

 

[RAD11]

So what else is new with the world? Hmm...

 

[Anastasis]

I wasn't serious until last winter. I totally despised most pre-meds I knew.

Hmmm, I'm serious now and I hate pre-meds.

 

[RAD11]

Is torrent safe to download from? I use Ares.

 

[Anastasis]

Whoever writes me the biggest check. I'm a ***** when it comes to more things than posting. 😀

👍 me too

 

[deleted106503]

Is torrent safe to download from? I use Ares.

Yes. What is Ares? I use Azureus. You don't download from a single sound like a lot of other places where that single source could be given you a virus. Torrenting is when you download a file from a bunch of people at once, you get pieces from them. Plus, the files you usually look for are put up by the same people on a regular basis so you know which ones to expect coming up.

 

[deleted106503]

But if there is a virus in a torrent, it will be removed almost instantly for torrent search engines.

 

[Dr Durden]

👍 me too

Great minds think alike. 😀

 

[Dr Durden]

Yes. What is Ares?

Ares is another file sharing system. Unlike Kazaa, it's not blocked on my campus.

Ares is a p2p site also like torrent, but I never used torrent though.

Kazaa sucks....gives you pop-ups galore. Happened to my friend's computer....and she can't get rid of it even with a pop-up blocker.

 

[deleted106503]

I used to use kazaa, didn't like it. I was forced to use eMule/Donkey for some early F1 races and it takes FOREVER. wow, what a waste. p2p like that sucks imo.

 

[Dr Durden]

Kazaa sucks....gives you pop-ups galore. Happened to my friend's computer....and she can't get rid of it even with a pop-up blocker.

She should search for KazaaLite. It doesn't have all the spyware attached.

Have you ever been able to use torrents on campus?

 

[Dr Durden]

Have you ever been able to use torrents on campus?

They blocked like five of the most common ones last year. As I didn't really use them that much, all the names escape me.

 

[RAD11]

Ok so what's the deal re: downloading files anyway....you can download stuff so long as you don't try to make a profit from it?

 

[Dr Durden]

I'm pretty certain downloading is illegal, but sharing files--even for free--is how most people get nailed.
