BBT's Portrayal of Nerds: Offensive or Accurate?
I watch it (mostly when I'm bored), but I can't say that it is a favorite of mine. I can't help but think that it's the "geek" equivalent of having a show called "The Black Guy theory" where it's about black people who go around stealing bikes and degrading women.- SticksandStones

Medical What can I do to fix tooth pain?
The nearest is 4 hours away. EDIT: Does anyone know if dentists might work around the patient's ability to pay? I know some psychiatrists do this, but I don't know about other medical fields.- SticksandStones

Medical What can I do to fix tooth pain?
My insurance is all but worthless and my wisdom tooth are coming in. Needless to say, I can't afford to have it removed, so what can I do to get rid of the pain? I can't even close my jaw at this point. :( Any decent home remedies? I'm contemplating buying some pliers and just pulling the...- SticksandStones

Around 9.03 the lady says there's rum in the cupboard
I ran out of Captain Morgan's once (black label, for those who judge) so I decided to mix my rum and coke with some Bacardi 151 we had lying around for Flaming Dr Peppers. That was a bad idea.- SticksandStones

Attitude about working in teens. Common or not?
I've been trying to get a construction job all summer. Turbo, if I were in Maine I'd be at your place every day and you'd have enough firewood to last you a lifetime. The kid is lazy, but then again that's par for the course when it comes to people. :) Do you know of any college kids in your...- SticksandStones

Why Don't I Get the 'Occam's Razor' Joke?
Being totally serious here: stop hanging out with other nerds. I can't stand to be around people like me. They make jokes like this and then I have to go drink until I don't remember it.- SticksandStones

Political correctness in holiday greetings.
I don't understand why, at a time when there are several religious holidays going on, someone would make the presumptuous statement of "merry christmas" versus "happy holidays". When you say "merry christmas" you have to make an assumption about someone. In the same way that you ask "How was...- SticksandStones

Why do we need polysaccharides?
Hi, I was reading up on some basic biology when I came across a claim in my book that humans can't get their carbohydrate needs from mono/di-saccharides alone but also require polysaccharides such as starch as well. However, it also says that starch is a polymer of glucose. So my question is...- SticksandStones
