Would you use a male contraceptive?

So I can stop using a condom? Thank God, I've always wanted to, but my gf smokes and can't use birth control pills herself. I'm waiting for the day

For those in Grad School

If a graduate program wants you, then they give you money. If they don't, they don't really want you. You don't apply for anything extra. For my PhD studies at Caltech, I have my tuition waived, health insurance paid, and a $25k/yr living stipend (a fellowship, so no teaching requirements)...

Grad school decision time: Univ of Texas (Austin) vs. Georgia Tech (Atlanta)

Graduate School!

I'm going in the fall (from the offers thus far, probably Caltech, but still waiting) for a PhD in mathematics / applied mathematics. My GPA isn't on a 4.0 scale (you get 4.33 for an A+), but it's around 4.11, though will drop by graduation since I smoke entirely way too much pot.

Inline Skates

Epuck. Get some hockey skates (no brakes, yo). They're more comfortable. I would recommend one of the new Mission skates.
