Why am I not seeing Actuarial Sciences? Who's it next to?
It's at the bottom of the "Engineering" column. (Second column from the left.)
eta: It looks like Anton Chigurh.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It does look like Javier Bardem, so I agree with the Anton Chigurh supposition.
It got posted on IO9, where some people pointed out it was femme-light, and a number of women were suggested for it. Bones, Sam Carter, Hoshi Sato, Zhaan, Liz Lemon, Laura Roslin, etc.

Isn't that the hair Javier had in No Country for Old Men?

Chigurh would make sense, what with his flipping a coin to decide who lives and who dies....

76 is not old, or it shouldn't be, dagnabit.
Eh, I don't know. I think it's pretty old.
This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I don't know that the quality of life in the 80s, 90s and beyond is something I want to experience myself.
I am very close to my 93 year old grandmother, and will be very, very sad when she eventually leaves us, but she has been pretty miserable and scared and in general discomfort and pain on a daily basis probably for the last 5-6 years. She wonders why God won't take her.
Obviously this is a very personal and individual situation and I'm only talking from my experience.

It is a selfish FCM, isn't it?
I don't know. I think it's pretty old.
My father's 73, and he looks great and is still playing a bit of tennis and being generally active mentally and physically, so yeah, albeit quite selfishly, I think 76 is pretty soon to be hopping off the mortal coil. Should his quality of life deteriorate pretty severely in the next three years I don't want to see him suffer, but right now, things aren't looking that badly for him, nor for my other relatives at that age or older.

Oh, good, someone beat me to it.
Check out this video starring Christina Hendricks. [link]
I just watched that. I think, given the video content and song lyrics, that one could argue that it makes a relatively sophisticated metaphor* about the price of fame and the empty promise it holds. Possibly even the lack of control women have in a male and male gaze dominated industry. Maybe CH even identified a bit with her character.
And then one reads the comments and it's all about how hot Hendricks is. Which, yes, but. And one of the articles about it (on PopEater IIRC) calls her a "video vixen." ::sigh::
