QUEEN ELIZABETH, WWII:
THE POWERS THAT BE: I’m pretty sure that we would be much farther along in this area were it not for the strong lobbying of the power industry against this. I’ve seen it happen where I live. I realize it isn’t a be-all end-all solution to our energy needs, but it seems like it can play a larger role than it currently does.
UP ALL NIGHT TO GET LUCKY: Yolo. Yeah, that’s the first and last time I’ll cough up that phrase. It just seemed to fit.
SIGN OF THE TIMES: I guess I’d rather have it be that nifty hover-skateboard thingy we all expected to have by now, but this is still pretty noteworthy.
I DON’T EVEN WANT TO KNOW.
But in case you do, here you go. But wait, there’s more.
DOES IT MATTER….that you have a somewhat novelty-tainted approach to what you do if nobody is going to know you’re doing it? Not that I’m saying people won’t find out. They’ve got big backers. I just wonder exactly what perceptual study they did to figure out there was an audience for this. Big thanks to the Dossier’s favorite tipster, Eric H for bringing this to our attention.
YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO CHANGE YOUR MAJOR: So congrats on that. Me? Not so fortunate.
IT’S A RIDDLE…wrapped in a conundrum boxed in a enigma bathed in WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? Does this mean we aren’t in the Matrix?
LASHES:
AS IF THIS STUFF WASN’T BAD ENOUGH: This.
LIFEHACK OF THE WEEK: You’re never too old to perfect getting your elevator speech perfected, especially when it counts.
MANNERS: Sometimes you have no idea you’ve stepped in it. So, you know, this is so you don’t step in it.
HE NEVER SAW IT COMING:
STEAL WHEELS: Actually, repurposed wheels. People like this make me feel better about 98% of everyone else.
I SEE DUMB PEOPLE: This dude will never, ever, live this down. Ever. Meanwhile, I’m pretty sure the French judge awarded this guy a 9.75. Impressive. Feel good about the decision’s you’ve made today. Pat yourself on the back.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S WORSE: The you-have-got-to-be-kidding-me ridiculous term they coined here, or the people themselves. Ok. Not really. These people are awful. Times infinity.
BITCHIN’!
OY! What’s this then? But, really, I always wondered.
STOP IT: Just, stop it already. This has gone too far. Extractor? Really? Really? So many jokes…
FASHION WEEK: Prêt-à–Porter anyone? I always enjoy scrolling through these shows but I also understand that I would never find myself actually wearing much of it. And by much of it, I mean any of it. And only because, where?
INCOMING!

- If you’re still not convinced that the whole short suits thing isn’t a good idea, this.
- Because sometimes the pictures don’t get enough credit on Dappered. Take for instance the top photo on this post.
- It’s that time of the year again. This is essential.

If it makes you feel better – superimpose ” Life expectancy” or “happiness rating” on that chart of wage earners, and you get a very different impression of what matters in life.
Earliest you can hope to leave medical school ( if you’re an average undergrad matriculant) is 26. Followed by a minimum 3 years of residency ( paid at about $40,000 per year) and you’re out at 29!
Your peers found their spouses at 21, and began their families at 24.
Not to put a negative spin on it – but it’s always worth mentioning for that one random kid who thinks chasing his dreams isn’t worth it because it “doesn’t pay enough”
i completely understand what you’re saying, and for the most part agree. but 29 is still young. 21 is awfully young to find a spouse and 24 is pretty soon for cranking out babies. in my opinion, of course.
nice roundup this week.
i think that sports venture is the next logical step in the highlight-heavy sports delivery system we have. they must assume that the market for any sort of in-depth analysis is saturated or dwindling (or both?) because there’s no way they can deliver that in 120 seconds. it sounds gimmicky for sure, but so did twitter. and this is definitely Sports Twitter.
Am 27. Found spouse at 26. Can confirm..but not in medical school.
I wouldn’t worry too much about that Higgs boson result. The paper isn’t “proving” that the universe shouldn’t exist, just that, under a certain class of inflationary models, along with the Higgs boson, the universe seems unstable. So, there’s either some interaction or particle that we don’t know about yet.
Also, the study makes use of the BICEP-2 result, which are as of now, only tentatively accepted (but hoped to hold!).
Thing is though, whatever you superimpose on the chart is entirely subjective to you
Absolutely, but there are a couple metrics that are objective that I feel are always worth adding to the discussion.
Life expectancy, suicide rate, incidence of Heart attacks, divorce rate,
While ‘annual earnings’ aren’t anything to be sniffed at, the concerning prevalence of suicide and alcoholism/drug abuse Among doctors is not negligible,
At the end of the day though, you’re right, you can choose to superimpose almost anything on the chart…I just feel your be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t add the other metrics of success, like a stable marriage and high work satisfaction.
I absolutely feel you on that, many who enter professions that ask you to delay other aspects of life don’t consider marriage at 29 any sort of sacrifice. But it’s ideal of you know that going in,
Am 26, found spouse and married at 21, had first child at 24, am having second child in August. Ha, I win! Now where’s my prize?
Yes, I feel good about the “decision’s” I made today. :-p
