Is it a cool shirt?

I'd advise to take a giant axe with you to make negotiations simpler, but then I realize you'd be negotiating with people with giant axes so it might not work out quite as planned. So tie axe blades to a small child and feed it espresso and unleash that dervish in their shop.

I'm looking to start shopping at zappos. apparently they're amazing.

One should be fine, easy to overdo that kind of thing. Besides you need to hold your cards close to your chest until the time is right.

I've never really heard anything positive or negative about them. Looking at the site you need to know which brands are good and which aren't cause they seem to sell everything from utter garbage to fairly high end stuff.

Eh, it's not your fault they ****** up and they better make up for it. Often you don't need to yell or anything as they pretty much bend over backwards to solve this sort of stuff right away to keep their reputation good.

In googling that, I came across:



Huh. I can feel the beginnings of a Wikipedia binge coming on. Where will the rabbit hole lead this time?

I've been shopping zappos for . . . more than a couple of years. They have an awesome return policy. One year. I've made use of it and I love it. Aeth is correct though, you do need to know brands.

I liked Bio, disliked genetics. That was a long time ago and lately I've been wishing I hadn't disliked genetics. But seriously, peas? How was I supposed to get interested in that?

To bring religion into this discussion, if the default human template is female, why was Adam created before Eve?

You shouldn't let your wife use your ZAM account, Protein.

I mean, yeah, it makes sense. I just had this previous mental image of the chromosome being some kind of immaculate thing that any and all screwups would have, if not catastrophic, at least noticable results. Like, apoptosis because the cell was no longer able to function correctly in the event of a mutation or viral infection. Not only was I wrong, I was very, very wrong. The chromosome is a cluster@#%^.

Also, it's Computer Science, but I had to take a Biology sequence culminating in a course on Genetics.

Because my degree falls under the College of Natural Sciences, not the Engineer school as is common in most colleges.

I'm getting a Bachelor of the Sciences degree, which for my school apparently means at least a general understanding of most of the science fields. In addition to the core science requirements (pretty much just one science sequence consisting of two classes) for all majors that's University wide, I had to take two science sequences, with a choice of Bio, Physics, Geology, Chemistry, or some upper division, post-Calc mathematics (gross). This is all on top of the two semesters of Astronomy I took to meet the general core science requirement.

I chose Geology and Bio, since I live with two Geo majors and I already had some Bio credit. It sucks because I take a LOT of stuff not relevant to my major. It's at least interesting, though, and I am only one class off from a minor in Bio because of this.

Only issue is, the College of Natural Sciences doesn't offer minors. So that sucks.

Also, I was one of only two non pre-med majors in my Genetics class of ~150. And pre-med students scare the sh*t out of me.
