Why my building has key cards

Thanks, fixed. Photoshop doesn’t have spell check, thus I fail :(

I starting acting condescendingly towards undergraduates when I was still in high school.

Cute. Just to be nit-picky though: Gattaca used blood from the fingertips, not retina scans ;-)

We actually only have key cards for the coffee machine. And yes, they didn’t have those until people started noticing the undergrads plundering those machines for free coffee. Or at least, some fluid resembling coffee.I have too much contact with undergrads to be condescending towards them. Openly.

Not sure what PS version you’re using, but you should be able to spell check highlighted text, type tool>enter text>double click text>right click the selection>select “check spelling”. Never say fail. :)

The biometrics lab at Purdue had a hand scanner for entry. One felt really cool using it when it worked the first time.

In California, there are three ways to test a suspected DUI: breathalyzer, blood test, or urine test (you get to pick which one). Urinalysis can and does detect alcohol consumption, although it’s not a good indicator for your actual blood alcohol level at the time the test is administered. But it is legally admissible evidence for a DUI conviction.

Love the comic! The expressions are priceless, and, of course, the protester’s choice of message. :)

Interesting, I stand corrected. Upon reading further, the urine test looks for EtG (Ethyl Glucuronide), a metabolite of ethanol.

I actually kinda like the key cards. You need one to get into the engineering computer lab (which is always empty!) so it’s kinda awesome. :) I agree though, they should say your name and make a whoosh sound. That would be awesome.

You know, ever since reading your Ph.D.-related posts, I feel all sheepish and intimidated when I’m around my TAs in labs, because I now realise exactly how you grad students feel about us undergrads, haha. I guess it’s understandable though. It’s like how undergrads feel about high-school students, and how high-school students feel about junior high students, and so on all the way down. Kinda sad when you’re at the bottom, but fun when you get to the top!

Oh my, I just realized that Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley was in Seattle… perhaps Jen is going the same route…

There will always be a turtle above you, no matter how high you go.

What’s wrong with monkey-fish-frogs?

Why oh why does your research team ( and prob the whole research area you are in) use a known universal constant indicator (pi) to represent something else?This does not make your research easier to read by those not directly involved.
