I agree, it's not the degree, but what you do with it. To me, a physicist is someone working in the field of physics. If they end up doing chemistry benchwork, they're a chemist. And so on.

It is made JUST LIKE STOCK, I just don't WASTE PERFECTLY GOOD CHICKEN by throwing it away! And, YOUR way does not neccessarily equate the CORRECT way! You always get such a snobby attitude about the way YOU make something. You've never had MY soup, so you have NO RIGHT saying it is bland...

I would if I could remember. They all sound like alphabet soup and random numbers to me. With the newer one, there are definitely a lot more settings to mess up. I get a lot of help from one of our technical staff who is geeky enough and has the patience to read the manual plus other books on...

What a waste! Start with a whole new chicken? What's wrong with the one that's been in it? I didn't grow up in a house where you just throw away a whole chicken! That's the meat with all the flavor from the cooking.

No, we start with ROASTED chicken. I'd never add bouillion to chicken soup, that's just a block of salty flavoring. I don't think you understand what we're explaining. My soup has tons of flavor!

Only on his face. The hair on his head grows so slowly it's growing in the negative direction. :biggrin:

I don't allow students to have anything at their desk during an exam except their pencils and erasers and a beverage in a container with no labels (I won't explain why to avoid giving anyone ideas if they don't know already). All backpacks, jackets, caps, etc., get piled at the front of the...

Fortunately, where I currently work has a pretty fair procedure for handling suspected cheating. It's basically a 3 tier process and can be stopped at any point with a notation in the student's disciplinary record. The first tier is with the faculty member who teaches the course. At that...

I'll enjoy that much more than chess. :smile: We really do talk about photography a lot, don't we?

I don't think it looks that clunky, at least not compared to a DSLR. The shape is needed because of the way the lenses need to work down the length of the camera. I bugged that retired staff member with a bunch of questions when it first hit the news last Fall. At least at the time, the...

I was waiting for the hot peppers when you said it was a la turbo. :biggrin: That's similar to how I make chicken soup, except I start by sauteeing some garlic and onion until clarified, and add the whole roast chicken, meat and all (usually the leftovers from a roast chicken dinner since...

The older DSLR and the newer camera phone might not be that different in detectors. A newer DSLR, on the other hand, will dance circles around the old DSLR. Our department has two DSLR cameras, and older one and newer one. Not much difference in MPs, but huge difference in the detectors. I...

I always wonder how they decide where to go or what to do. Does one control the body, or do all three each have partial control? Unless people are helping feed it, it must be coordinating actions with all three heads in some way to survive to adulthood, unless two heads are just along for the...

Try more 3D objects where depth of field matters more, dim light, or overlaid objects without much contrast. And you partly answered your own question with regard to focal length. I'm guessing you'd get more range from the DSLR.

The Girl Scout cookies I ordered got delivered today, plus a cheesecake and jalapeno cheese stuffed pretzels (frozen) from another fundraiser a former student guilted me into, and I spent tonight making fudge because tomorrow is my turn to provide snacks for my class and one student can't eat...
