Reaver Cleaning Company: putting spears through the Wash since 2005!

Amazing meme choice. Sounds like a fun read.

“An improved analysis method of Phrenology”

Congratulations. I hope your edits are few and potential publications are plentiful. What was the topic?

Did you read it?? It showed statistical significance with an 8 point difference on the outcome measure test. And them for you so say this drug needs a double blind controlled trial? It was. That is literally the first sentence in the methods section! Also, the article went into details about the outcomes measures and quality of life impacts.

Just going to throw this out there, you had to follow the doi link, then download the pdf to read the actual article. It sounds like you just glazed over the summary paragraphs.

Committee members for supervising thesis and dissertations are normally locked once you submit the committee form. There are no changing them unless it is under extreme circumstances. We are talking circumstances like death, retirement, and pending legal issues. Otherwise, things like scheduling, professional conflicts, and personality differences are not acceptable reasons. Sucks for OOP for being stuck with a shitty person.

I knew it looked photoshopped but wanted it to be real, so I looked up the isbn. Sadly, it is not this book. Weirdly, it is a different scifi book that sounds half decent and actually won an award.

Brute Orbits by Goerge Zebrowski. He was (just died in Dec of 2024) a scifi machine and churned out several of the star trek books as well as a shit load of original works all through the 70’s till about 2000. And this one happens to be one of his highest rated works.

Also in this rabbit hole: he worked/lived with (passible partner of?) Pamela Sargent who wrote Earthseed. A huge scifi book for those who are into it.

The really crazy part is when you look at it as a percentage of the budget and compare it to pre war levels. It isn’t what you think. In 2000 the budget was $304 billion, a total of 16.7% of the federal budget. Then 2 wars later of ballooning costs and it grew all the way up to $962 billion (the 2025 approved budget. Not counting the random $500 billion he is trying to add in). But this is now only 13.7% of thr total budget. Somehow the percentage has gone down.

Now, if you know numbers you should know that percentages get messy and are misleading to look at. The real question is what the fuck is going on with the giant ballooning budget that has gotten spending so out of control that this monstrous defense spending is now somehow a lower percentage than pre-war spending??? And the real kicker is that we are ballooning on spending, but none of it is going to actually helping the people paying the taxes! None of it is helping built up infrastructure, invest in education, build communities -nothing that helps build this country.

Trump is blowing through money and we doing even get anything out of it.

The HPV virus is also slowely being implicated in causing some throat, neck, and tonsillar cancers in men. The vaccine in men helps prevent those too. It is argued that everyone should get it, and the younger the better (younger as in around 14, not 20’s or 30’s).

The crowd you see in the first pic, to the left of the stage, is symmetric to the other side, just not shown in the pictures I put in the post. The crowd behind the sight line of the camera is the big question. But if you go by normal venue layouts and make an educated guess based off the width you can see, I would put it at maybe 3x deeper then the stage, plus wings. So maybe 200? No more than 300. So, like I said it would be about a large club or medium rock lounge. Think slightly smaller than your standard House of Blues venue.
