Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
oh, Sophia, that's terrible! Have you thought about doing some self defense training? The first thing we learned was about how to be vocally assertive and it seriously changed my life. It's a big problem for a lot of women -- being polite to the detriment of their own safety.
I get UBER polite when in a dangerous situation-- but this turned out to be a drunk college student who had passed out in the wrong car, so all was actually well. Although I had to help him find his car because he didn't remember where he parked.
My office is so f*cking penny wise and pound foolish it is driving me crazy. Like, I can't pay $2.00 to have 200 copies folded, but I can fold them by hand which takes me hours. But we do things like get these very expensive folders printed that we actually have very little use for-- and we don't even price different printers because they think we can only use the one university approved printer.

Coding and Sleeping
I'm seen references all over the web to a new catalyst for splitting hydrogen developed by M.I.T. researchers that would dramatically reduce the cost of the process.
Inspiration for the new catalyst came from nature; Nocera studied the chain of processes that take place during photosynthesis, such as how plants use the energy from sunlight to rearrange water's chemical bonds. In a future hydrogen economy, he imagines, a house would function much like a leaf does, using the sun to power household electricity and to break down water into fuel—a sort of artificial photosynthesis.
It sounds cool, but I'm not getting too excited until there is production usage.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Thank you all for your birthday wishes!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
