I remember those Sony Ericsson k750 phones that pretty much everyone had when I was just about leaving secondary school at 16. 2 megapixels was like WOW, surely you can’t get better than that? It’s like having a top of the range camera in your pocket!
I got myself a Nokia N70 also with a 2-megapixel camera, I thought I was a don with my “smart” phone.
Just finished an interview for a grad school programme. It was a huge success.
Congrats!
Which one/where?

there was quite a bit of academic nepotism involved, but ig that’s how the game is played 
I guess so!? 
What is academic nepotism?
When your application gets special consideration because your advisor or other letter writer knows people in the department/the ppl you want to work with
In the UCLA case, all the interviewers are my advisor’s coauthors so she pushed my app even though, under normal circumstances, my GRE score would have been grounds for my app to be filtered out.
I have yet to hear back from UCSD, but getting in would be pure nepotism. My advisor (same one) was the prof I want to work with (my academic hero)'s former PhD student and “4th daughter”. I actually do NOT have enough of a maths background for the programme; however, she got me in contact with him and he liked me enough to give an informal acceptance (95% chance of being admitted)
Well, Its a small world already, and the deeper you go into it, the smaller it gets.
Give yourself some credit. People of value don’t just slap their name on any old body. You’ve worked hard and done well! 
oh yeah… definitely.
My intended field, being relatively new, is especially small. Seems like everyone has worked with everyone
I got a first round interview request from Harvard Business School!!!
I love this song, but the dude’s reaction was also great. It makes me happy to see people get really into the things they’re passionate about (in his case, music).
Update: I got into UCLA.
Admin still needs some time to send offer letter or whatever, but profs said I’m in
Congratulations! Happy for you.

Filled it with 100 lbs of sand and 50 lbs pea gravel and it’s definitely a pain to get off the floor. Time for loaded carries.
Oldest dog ever:
3 in 1 body wash, shampoo and conditioner.
That actually pisses me off. Shampoo is already 3 in 1 body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. The fact that someone probably got a promotion for relabelling shampoo as 3 in 1 is a sign of a degenerate society.
Can’t hear that song without crying. That reaction video was awesome. Thanks for sharing it!
Sure, Shampoo can also be used as body wash, but conditioner? No. Completely different things.
Ask anyone with curly hair that doesn’t look homeless.
I used to think conditioner was unnecessary. I’ve changed my mind on it. Does have benefits that shampoo doesn’t offer. I think I get less breakage, and it feels softer.
I don’t really buy into needing expensive products though. Some people (my wife lol) really spend an arm and a leg on hair washing / conditioning products. I try to be objective and ask if the thing did the job it was supposed to, while starting with cheap products, and moving up if it isn’t good.
