Although with extensive counseling, some are eventually able to recover and once again lead normal pigeon lives.

This makes me sick.

Why? You obviously didn't bother to actually read the article. Maybe you should go outside and calm down before getting your panties in a twist over a reddit headline.

I still can't figure out what people call sweet tea out here if "tea" means "unsweetened iced tea"

People ask for "sweet tea" if they want sweet tea.

No, it was unstained, but I'm pretty sure the gel casting trays had seen EtBr in previous years.

We actually were using SYBYR dye in the lab that year, but still.

I pretty much facepalmed, and told them they were a moron.

Because it is INCREDIBLY frustrating as an instructor to watch students who you know have the potential to do well fuck themselves over through sheer laziness.

but he kept denying it

I will never understand this about cheaters. "You copied the example," while holding the original in front of them. "Nu-uh."

I teach the upper division biochem lab at my uni each fall. Last year I was teaching the second lab which is a straightforward lab about ID'ing an unknown plasmid following an enzymatic digest. I think I left for a grand total of about 5 minutes for an emergency bathroom break and came back to find a student eating an agarose gel.

I've also taught the gen chem labs and had a student come into my lab crying after I reported him to the department head for cheating on a lab report. This kid probably had 4 inches and 50 lbs on me, and was a good lacrosse player. Apparently his frat didn't appreciate getting in trouble with the uni for providing their members with old lab reports to plagarize.

Honestly, look at the whole healthcare mess.

What, the part where the bill started out good, then got negotiated down to crap due to republican bullshit, then still got voted against by almost every republican after they got their compromises?

Pretty sure in actual practice, "eye for an eye" will only make people who stab out others' eyes go blind.

In all seriousness, fuck every single one of the guys involved in this, and I hope the girl is eventually able to recover somewhat from such a horrible experience. I personally hope they get locked up for years, then hit by a bus on their way out. With 6 billion+ people on the planet, I'm pretty damn sure society is better off without these kinds of people around.

Yes, but if they go that route, I'm pretty sure you can tell them that they are them obligated to tell their wives to STFU. If it's a woman making the claim, so much the better.

No, they don't. No one has the right to incite violence and hatred against other people.

So please tell me that you're at least consistent with this sentiment and believe that such behavior in the USA (ie: westburough baptist church, christian fanatics on the street with the "the following people are going to hell," the KKK, etc) should be illegal.

you can sit day in and day out in a park and stare at children, yeah, legally theres nothing wrong at that, morally, each one of us are responsible for what we do.

I'm sorry, but are you trying to say that there is something inherently immoral about sitting in a park and watching children? That seems odd, to say the least.

I'm going to assume that you know the emergency brake still works, and that by now you know that the steering wheel will generally lock on a car once it is turned off, but can by unlocked by turning the key slightly forward (just don't engage the starter).
