A few ground rules. Everything you post must be RANDOM and more importantly, only peripherally related to the MCAT. See my example post below. I now await Beary's shirtless pic of Carl Edwards. C'mon Beary, A-man is dying to see it. 😀

This is Ana's example:

My, factually, better examples 😀 :

And one final thing. GO GATORS! GO AGGIES! My parents are A&M alum...

speaking of.......

Ana, my lab partner's bday was Monday, and her sister works for Fair Trade and sent her some stuff as a present.

so tonight I had a piece of FT dark chocolate with crushed espresso beans in it... 😍

Chocolate and coffee...two of my favourite things in the world 😍 😍 😍

 

[UMP]

if she completes her primary before me I'll be pissed... she's well on her way already

 

[beary]

I'm glad you are feeling a bit better beary. Let me know if you want me to overnight you some percocet, though. 😉

How is the chemistry rotation? What do you do in that rotation anyway? 😳 I'm showing my ignorance here!

Wow, that is extremely generous to offer to share your percocet!!

No, I actually emailed and called today to get more but didn't hear back. I am sure they will give it to me. I'm just kind of nervous because this pain comes and goes and right now I am fine but am afraid it will hit and I don't have anything for it. 😱

Chem = doing nothing. Basically. I am very fortunate that if I was going to be sick it happened on this rotation. I answer pages from clinicians about what tests to order, how to interpret tests, etc. Occasionally have to troubleshoot things in the lab - like we had all of our ammonias coming back high. An indication of a problem. That kind of thing. We have a lot of talks though.

was she pre-med?

Hey CC...man you haven't reach 1K yet? 😛

You can do it tonight, I know it 😉

 

[beary]

so my sister decided to apply this year... out of the blue

Hey UMP - I was coming to visit you in game, and was close to Bloodhoof Village and the Alliance started attacking. All I could see was a 54 night elf. Thinking I could PWN him, I flagged and attacked. Then 5 60 rogues came out of nowhere.

Yeah, dead Huskerfan. Now I have to wait to unflag before I resurrect because they'll just kill me again. They're stomping and spitting on my corpse. 🙁

 

[RAD11]

The clip from Leno was so funny

 

[beary]

Are you folks about the same age?

 

[UMP]

was she pre-med?

yeah... she took her MCAT in april, but wanted to do all these other things before applying... now she's just going to take a stab at her dream schools

 

[UMP]

Are you folks about the same age?

she's two years younger than me... has the chip on her shoulder and has a much better work ethic... I still think I'm more naturally gifted though 😉

 

[RAD11]

yeah... she took her MCAT in april, but wanted to do all these other things before applying... now she's just going to take a stab at her dream schools

if she's got everything ready, she should definitely do it

woah... you can attack player characters from the opposite side ? that's pretty sweet 👍

 

[UMP]

she has a near 4.0 GPA at umich, spectacular EC's and recommendations, the MCAT is only 32 though. She wants to retake... (she's a name queen)

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Gimme a week. If only I could apply my posting ability to my power point presentation 😛

 

[beary]

Yeah! That's the best!

 

[Crazy Canuck]

The clip from Leno was so funny

I miss Leno 🙁 All I can get is Letterman 👎

 

[RAD11]

Only a 32 😱 ....I don't mind a 32 😉

Letterman sucks...he's not even funny.

Letterman sucks...he's not even funny.

her short list is Columbia, Harvard, Michigan... if she doesn't get in to any of those she'll pass...🙄

I'm begging for an interview invite from Wayne and MSU here

 

[Crazy Canuck]

All his schticks are dumb (e.g. know your meat cuts) and that Paul guy he has is not funny either.

I always crack up at Leno's Headlines 😀

 

[UMP]

Yeah! That's the best!

is that server specific? or is it across the whole game ?

Leno can be corny too but he's got better guests, imo.

<lvl 49 druid newb>

Wow, a 49! That's not a newb! You a night elf? (My toon Pathologic is a NE druid). Come up to 50 and we can play each other in BGs.

I actually swing both ways. 😉 I do like to play alliance as well. My highest alliance character is a 26 though, my highest horde is a 59. So obviously I play horde more. 🙂

 

[MollyMalone]

I am so not going to do well on this exam. 🙁

I aced biochem in undergrad. I don't get why this is a problem for me. 😕

 

[RAD11]

She could prob get in with her #s in those schools.

 

[UMP]

I just hopped she would hold off til next year so she wouldn't steal my thunder 😉

 

[beary]

Well, there's different types of servers. There are PvP servers where alliance and horde can attack each other all the time. Khaz Modan is a PvE server (player vs. environment). So you can fight outside battlegrounds, but you have to "flag" first. I like that better because if you're just going around minding your own business a whole mob of other players can't just come up and kill you.

But there are specific areas of the game (battlegrounds) that are set aside for PvP. That's all you do in there. That's what I do most of the time. Battlegrounds used to be within-realm but now they are cross-realm so you fight against the EVIL ALLIANCE from all different servers. 😉

Hehe. Yea, lvl 49 night elf (first and only character so far). I stopped playing as much to study for the MCAT and I haven't started back up again to the same extent yet. I think I've got like three bars to fifty. What server are you on? So close to 60 on that horde character! 😀

my brother was giving me tips on setting up an account that is best for the PvP... I just got lost in all the technicalities. I wanted to be a priest (forgot the horde race) but he said their best abilities are easily countered in these settings... I'll just play what he 60 leveled in originally so he can give me tips 👍

 

[RAD11]

Alrighty guys...it's late....calling it a night.... I'll leave you to your WOW!

 

[deleted106503]

alright jlw 🙁 i'll pm you at 8:30AM EDT.

Leno can be corny too but he's got better guests, imo.

I told you! 😡 Leno is NOT good. Conan has the best writers. If you saw them, you'd agree. Let me pull up a pic. brb

i have no idea what you're talking about.

Oh lord....good night! 😴

 

[UMP]

i have no idea what you're talking about.

i don't expect you too... some of my sports taste is too eclectic even for you

 

[UMP]

F1 is the last frontier for me... maybe Tennis too. I want to talk **** about sports anywhere I go in this world 🙂

So you don't like F1? 😕

 

[UMP]

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it... but I'm forcing myself to follow it, since it is so huge all over the world. I don't get racing that is longer than 3-4 minutes...

I'm on Khaz Modan.

Yeah, I am close to 60! Right now I'm really just working on honor, since I'm a 59 and can do well in the 50s bracket but would get killed in the 60 bracket. I used to be a blood guard, but have fallen to a senior sergeant. 🙁 The expansion pack comes out November 28 and ideally I want to be a really high rank by then and then hit 60 on November 27. 👍

what is the point of honor... ?

It's more about the technology part for me. What the engineers can come up with next. Check out these videos. Use the drop down box in the middle of the page. The video is the picture in the link that you choose. http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s107/st41568.htm

it's hard to really follow something when you don't truely understand it... that's why I think girls who say they love football, but don't know what a safety is are full of **** and are just hungry for cock

 

[beary]

what is the point of honor... ?

Well, some of it is just prestige. But, with each rank you gain (that's the honor system, from killing enemy players), you gain access to different levels of armor, better potions, etc. So there are definite goodies that come with it.

i love the technology part of it so far... I like that it is a quantifiable race of engineers of sorts... I wish I could understand how the angle of your wing effects the cars performance etc...

so you have to kill player characters ? or ai characters for this ? or either ?

beary... did you retrieve your corpse yet ? I feel bad 🙁

 

[deleted106503]

i love the technology part of it so far... I like that it is a quantifiable race of engineers of sorts... I wish I could understand how the angle of your wing effects the cars performance etc...

Alright, for that last part...

The angle of the wing affects both drag (resistance for forward progress) and downforce. The wing is the inverse of an airplane's wing. An airplane creates lift, but the F1's wing creates downforce. Pushing it to the ground. This force increases the traction. It allows the car to go around corners MUCH faster than a car without that downforce. However, it's a balancing act again, just like fuel loads and tire wear. The more downforce you put, the more drag you have. The more drag, the slower you can go at higher speeds (when the "wind" is faster). At high speed circuits where top speed is crucial, the angle of the wing is reduced so little drag is created, but there's less downforce. Teams must decide on how much "wing to run." Just another of the hundreds of freakin' variables it takes to win.

Edit: Think of the wing as a wall. So when you turn the wall completely upright, the wall it being hit dead-on with the created wind. It slows down the car. Just like an airplane opens the flaps when landing to slow it down. You put the wall completely flat and the wind isn't slowing it down.
