    Losing Weight Quickly

    No, you really can't. That'll make you quite unwell. Fruit and vegies don't have everything you need - you will miss out on certain minerals and vitamins. You should also incorporate dairy, grains and pulses, nuts and seeds, and white and red meat if you're not a vegetarian. A mixed, varied diet...

    Tertiary and Continuing A science or arts degree, which is more useless?

    A science degree is not designed to be used on its own, and anyone who claims they got nowhere with a BSc alone is obviously pretty ignorant of what it was supposed to do. On its own, a BSc is a way of viewing the world, it teaches you to think. But it generally provides a better position to...

    Tertiary and Continuing Honours

    It depends on the uni. I did BSc Honours at Melb Uni as it was essential at the time for getting into a PhD, which at the time I was intending to do, and basically any kind of research you're going to need honours. However, with the new Melbourne Model there is a push towards doing a Masters...

    Tertiary and Continuing Which degrees are useless/useful?

    The basic science doesn't worry me per se - I did a BSc and worked as a biomedical scientist for years - it's just the vast quantity I haven't done before. Conceptually I'm fine, but really, why do I need to regurgitate all the complement pathways...

    Tertiary and Continuing Electron configuration

    Boiling and melting points won't do you any good, nor will remembering the periodic table, really (knowing the first 30 is handy). What you should aim to do is understand, not memorise. If you understand it, there's no real need to memorise. Do some reading about the orbitals from a first...

    Tertiary and Continuing Which degrees are useless/useful?

    My first exams are in a month. I have no idea what I'm doing. I don't think any med student ever knows what they are doing. This: http://whatshouldwecallmedschool.tumblr.com/post/22316873603/when-medical-school-begins (That whole blog is fantastic.)

    Tertiary and Continuing Electron configuration

    For a start, don't mix up your p and d orbitals. It's 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 4s2, 3d10 (that takes you to 30). Copper is a transition metal, so we're filling up the d orbital. As element number 29, that takes you to 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 4s1, 3d10 - for stability, as you said, rather...

    FTA-TV Sherlock

    I'm wondering what Moffat is doing at the moment...hopefully busy writing Doctor Who scripts!

    FTA-TV The Big Bang Theory

    Actually, you completely misappropriated that quote. If I said "all cars are blue, red or yellow" and you quoted me as, "all cars are...yellow", well...that would be silly, wouldn't it? :) If you read the sentence that followed I said "if you want something intelligent, watch something...

    FTA-TV The Big Bang Theory

    And what is TBBT pretending to be that it's not? I've never got the impression it's trying to be smart just because it talks about 'smart' topics. As a scientist I see it as a big caricature of nerds and it's scarily close a lot of the time! Man, I don't know ANYONE who does this. I haven't...

    FTA-TV Good comedy Series

    Two of the greatest. Couldn't believe I'd nearly gotten to the end of the thread without seeing them! Also seconding The Vicar of Dibley and The Inbetweeners. My suggestion is Black Books. Brilliant. "Coordinates...BOOKSHOP!" And for sketch shows, try A Bit of Fry & Laurie, and That...

    FTA-TV The Big Bang Theory

    This thread is, for the most part, sorting out who has a problem with nerds, or at least who will never be one. As a nerd I've gotta say that a lot of the nerd jokes are actually funny because of how incredibly true they are. You can't properly explain to a non-nerd why having a favourite amino...

    Mooney Valley

    Depends what you call 'relatively affordable'. Houses on my street in Kensington are $800k+, starting to hit million dollar mark. Flemington is probably cheaper but it's definitely becoming gentrified. I don't know what apartments go for. I do know that my rent goes up quite a lot every year and...

    Rice

    Lots of people talk about how good rice cookers are, but personally I don't have a problem with using the absorption method on the stove. Works perfectly every time.
