TIL that it feels like it takes less time to get home because home is extremely familiar and we may encode it as a relatively larger geographical area than the less familiar destination.

Tell that to every red light I hit on the way there.

I apologize for knowing nothing about this, but what kind of organization is SpaceX? What do they promote? I think I'd appreciate this more if I knew what was going on (you know, besides the whole launching into orbit part). Sorry for the ignorance :/

Walmart has graveyards now too? Damn, when you monopolize, you really cover all fronts.

It was amazing. There was this girl I had a crush on since 6th grade, but we abruptly stopped talking in 8th. Around the last few months of school we began conversing again and I found out she liked me too, but her mom wouldnt approve of us dating. So, one day before class, I snuck her to a part of the school where no one was, kissed her, and asked again. she said yes, her mom thought it was cute and didn't mind at all. we stayed together for almost 2 years after that. It was definitely one of the best moments of my life. TL;DR - Kissed girl of my dreams hoping she would go out with me.

when I was in fifth grade, my teacher recommended me to take an exam. I did "so well" on it that I received a psychological evaluation. I scored ~99.6%ile. I (unwillingly) took another for mensa and got one or two points lower. funny, considering I rarely got straight A's in school.

153 here. still only did moderately well in high school, half of my friends were smarter than me, and kids in college appear even more intelligent. IQ doesn't mean shit.

Don't worry. I can confirm this is NOT in the movie. On that note, wasn't even that great of a movie, tbh.

I still love the basic concept of pixels: we see one color because we're unable to distinctly see the colors producing it.

ajar. It's a word just for doors. Why this word exists is beyond me, but I love using it. It's so uselessly essential that I need to say it every time I get the chance.

Same, unfortunately. Life goes on, though. Berkeley and GT are both excellent schools. Good luck, bro.

yeah, I'm on the priority. cmu's CS program is second to none, so yeah, it's still my number 1. can't wait for may 7th.

I'm in the exact same boat, dude (except I picked Georgia tech). I already chose GT over Berkeley, but I'm still CMU all the way. I haven't visited, but who cares? Notify me if you get in, i'll tell you what happens to me as well. Just saying, It'll help knowing there's someone there who's going through the same thing.

I did the same exact thing, dude. I find it weird that CS101 is a cakewalk, but I couldn't figure out that damn sorority world bullshit.
