How dare you ignore our love.

All I need is Rush, Black Sabbath, Yes, Jimi Hendrix, Judas Priest and Led Zeppelin.

Why are you awake?

I'm on board with cannabis as a treatment when it's investigated in a legitimate, peer-reviewed study on humans.

Those who are seriously interested in artificial intelligence, and not just in the trendy pop-sci mindset afflicting society, should check out the work of Douglas Hofstadter, particular the book Gödel, Escher, Bach. A lot will go over your head, and that's okay, but he is an absolutely brilliant writer that manages to cleverly explain difficult concepts without taking away from the academic weight of his statements.

Having a background in industrial engineering, I'm all for optimizing politics, but there's also a great degree of complexity in this system that has been shown to deter the general population. A lot of this is also negated by primary elections, though those assume that a voter will still stick with their party even if their preferred candidate wins.

"I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives. Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity."

Cut the hours of loyal employees who have been working there for years.  I work no hours next week and have worked only 25 this week.  And Walmart is STILL hiring temps.  Why?  Because they're cheap labor and Walmart could keep a huge amount of their own profits.

Regardless of the fairness of hiring temps (though I think it's a perfectly valid tactic when minimum wage and the ACA are strangling entry-level employers from both sides of the issue -- hours and wage), profits don't really have anything to do with salary. Basically nobody offers profit-sharing or bonuses for entry-level positions.

P.S. you should quit Walmart and go to Kroger. I had over four years of experience with them and they're a pretty good employer with lots of room for advancement.

Hopefully humans go extinct with the purpose of making room for the next stage in evolution for homo sapiens. It doesn't seem likely we'll be able to travel to a different solar system any time soon, though.

Is there any word on interconnectivity between the DS and Wii versions?
You mean 3DS & Wii U? You can use the 3DS as a controller when playing on the Wii u

How does that connection work?

What's sad is that probably has a better and deeper story than what Destiny has.

Hey, Destiny's story is so deep that it transcends the game; instead, it's in the Grimoire Cards and Reddit.

Serious / Groomsman gift ideas

*This is in serious because I'm a super srs guy*

I need groomsman gift ideas. Right now I'm thinking a big fat Churchill cigar (working on cubans) and an engraved lighter, with a nice box. My budget is approximately $50, though I don't have any hard and fast line.

My  groomsmen, barring the bride's brother, are all hip young liberals (think Mad Max minus a decade or so). Anything beer related, or obscure bands, or manly in general. Stuff along those lines.

No dildos or booty, unfortunately. Also no dildos in booty.

If memory is stored in neurons, why are there no organelles within the cell that perform that function?

Biology isn't my thing, but I'm pretty sure the neuron is formed in result to a stimulus and that results in it sending a unique signal. There are billions of these neurons, and trillions of connections between them. A memory isn't a physical object, but it's a combination of electrical signals (which is still physical and tangible).

We'd like to believe the memory is stored in neuron cells, but there simply isn't any place in the cell where that would happen.

The individual neurons send a unique signal that, in series with other neurons, produce a unique combination resulting in memory recall.

What specifically does quantum mechanics have to do with any of it?

I just want Bungie to officially tell us why the game ended up like it did rather than just pushing it under the rug.

This is fiscal suicide. They will never, and should never, publicly admit that they fu­cked up the story and content.

if we could apply quantum mechanics to neurology

I'm sure your efforts are sincere but this is the type of catch-all phrase thrown around by laymen that think one can just 'quantum mechanics' their way to any solution.

How else would they be stored if not physically?
