confusing, isn't it? i mean, when i was in college, i was positively flummoxed about how the diffusion coefficient is related to the mean squared displacement of a brownian particle. so i went to the physics department and posed my concerns to our world-renowned professor. he explained it in a way that i wasn't at all expecting. the sheer lucidity of his pedagogy cleared all the cobwebs of my mind. it was only after he nutted in rover for the third time that i started to question his teaching methods.

So that means no radiation in the fun game of Dog Poop-chutes and Ladders. Exciting times.

That is the job where you occasionally swipe a tissue on the benchtop in someone's lab, and then send it to some contractor who will tell you if the tissue has a lot of radioactive material on it. If you're advanced, you might make the measurement yourself by sticking the tissue in a "scintillation counter", which is roughly as demanding as popping a bag of microwave popcorn. As a bonus for your efforts, you get to append the term "physicist" to your job title, in order to imply a level of knowledge and scientific rigor that is not involved in your work, and that you probably don't possess.

I’m very impressed that you know that.

3 Ex-Michigan State players sentenced to 36 months probation for sexual assault crimes

In early April, former Michigan State players Josh King, Donnie Corley, and Demetric Vance enter a guilty plea for a seduction charge for their role in a sexual assault case from January 2017. On Wednesday, a judge issued their sentences in a county court. All three former Spartans have been placed on 36 months of probation and must undergo sex offender treatment, according to Lansing State Journal.

All three must complete 100 hours of community service and are prohibited from using any dating apps. If any of the three men violate the terms of their probation, they will be sent to jail for a 356-day sentence.

Michigan State’s Holiday Bowl rings include score from Spartans’ win over Michigan

DfK3zuTWkAEw7G-_thkn0a.jpg




Michigan State beat Michigan, 14-10, on a soggy night in Ann Arbor last season. After a 3-9 season in 2016, it was a victory that showed the Spartans were for real in 2017. Michigan State finished the season 10-3 with the Holiday Bowl victory.

Actually, popping the popcorn is a lot tougher if you add the requirement that it not burn.

That part requires a level of focus not known to a majority of people nowadays. You have to listen to the kernels popping and stop the microwave when the popping has intervals or more than a few seconds. There is going to be some unpopped kernels but at least there won’t be any burnt corn. Never pop the popcorn for as long as the bag says and leave it unattended.

Can I be a physicist?

Oh for the love of barf. I appreciate a good trolling, but they got Holiday Bowl rings? At what point do they allow rings? Can they give the players a ring for a .500+ record? For winning 3 games? For winning 1 game? For showing up sober to almost half of their games? Can they give rings for each game?

I think all the bowl games get one. OkSt even did one after losing a bowl. I guess Gundy is a bigger whiner than I realized.
MSU has also done their rivalry score before.

Meh. Again, I like that they're poking the bear. Except maybe the bear is really just a pile of dogshit. I like that they're laughing at the dogshit. But the rings lose their coolness when so many teams get one.

You’d think it’d be kind of embarrassing. Someone sees the ring from afar. Approaches...

“Man! That ring! Is that a Super Bowl ring? You win a national championship in college?”

“No.”

“Oh...Well it’s gotta be for something.”

“Oh yeah.”

“What’s it for?”

“We beat a team.”

“Ohhhhhhh.” *walks away*


I get it, Ohio State gets rings for the B1G championship, things like that. But it should be limited to winning some form of an actual championship or at least a major New Year’s six bowl. You start giving out rings for the Beef O’Brady Bowl and it starts to get ridiculous. And who wants a ring with Beef O’Brady on there anyway?
