Spike ,'Selfless'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Black fur half-life is difficult to study, as it seems to disappear more readily in the environment. White fur half-life, as co-researcher Steph mentioned in the above study [1], seems to be similar to uranium. Or glitter.

It is so fucking sad that I immediately edited the reference for AMA style. (For the record, it would read: "Steph LB. I thought this shirt was clean: a study of the effects of laundering on fur deposits in common fabrics. Ann Household Animal Fur Res 2014." And would need the appropriate MEDLINE ID or doi number.) (God help me.)
Oh, Steph, I know. As I was writing it, I was thinking, "This is so not IEEE style."
This is why I heart y'all. OMG.
Oh, Steph, I know. As I was writing it, I was thinking, "This is so not IEEE style."
AWESOME.
Wrong thread.
I had to use APA style for my dissertation. Hated it, because MLA had just been so drilled into me in high school and college that I could easily type up a bibliography without having to reference anything, and then had to keep looking up stuff when I was writing my citations for the dissertation. APA style would be:
L. B., Steph. (2014). I thought this shirt was clean: a study of the effects of laundering on fur deposits in common fabrics. Annals of Household Animal Fur Research, 53, 234-257.
It's that last comma that particularly bugs me. Everything else gets separated by periods, but volume number is italicized, then a comma, then page numbers aren't italicized, and it just looks and feels wrong.
L. B., Steph.
Oh, yeah. When I edited the reference for AMA style, I was treating my first name like it was my last, just because it was spelled out and we spell out last names. Er, like this:
Lastname SL. I thought this shirt was clean: a study of the effects of laundering on fur deposits in common fabrics. Ann Household Animal Fur Res. 2014;53:234-257.
Geeks are glorious.
Geeks are glorious.
You don't even know -- my brain is going "APA style is HIDEOUS! Why all the periods?!?" #editorwars
