It says "Hello thisismyemail@gmail.com," and unfortunately my real email is my first and last name anyway. Unless that URL is some sort of fancy trick I've never seen before it would seem like it's legit, but you can never be too careful these days. Can anyone confirm that they've received money on Paypal and got a confirmation email from what appears to be the buyer's email address? edit: found a way to confirm it myself without clicking the link, I guess it wasn't a scam. Paypal is retarded for sending an email that looks identical to an email that anyone could send. hayden. fucked around with this message at 13:54 on Dec 7, 2011 |

In those instances the best thing to do is not to click the link, but just go to PayPal directly and see if there are any pending items in your account.

Does anyone know an opposite word for posthumously? I'm writing a paper about an author who has two published books, but only one was published while he was still alive. I feel like there's totally a more concise way to say "while he was still alive" that I'm just missing and my usually word websites are failing me.

I have an investing question so basic, I am having trouble finding a basic enough answer online. So someone help me please! Say the ask price of a stock is listed as ask (size) $2 (12,000) Does the size mean that people out there are selling 12k shares, so (supposing I was the only buyer) I could buy up to 12k but no more? or Does it mean that the minimum order is 12k (eek!) shares? In other words: as stupid as it would be, could I buy, like, 1 share, or 20, or 30, or something less than thousands? edit: Also, this may take us into "go ask business/finance" territory, but... until now I've invested only in mutual funds. I'm going to try to just trade one or two little stocks as an educational experience. Is there anything enormously different about trading stocks, besides that they're more risky and you can only trade in multiples of the share price? Diseased Dick Guy posted:Does anyone know an opposite word for posthumously? "During his lifetime" or "before his death" are more concise than your phrase, but that's the best I got :/ alnilam fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Dec 7, 2011 |

This may be better suited in SH/SC but I'll try here first, about a year or two ago I saw a webpage that offered live connection status between all the tier 1 networks (Level3, ATT, etc), does anyone still have the URL for that? EDIT: Never mind, finally found it. http://www.internethealthreport.com/ for anyone else who's curious. Brut fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Dec 7, 2011 |

My brother loves Roller Derby and always sits trackside on the floor. I was thinking of getting him a "stadium seat" like the kind that make bleachers more comfortable to sit on. Is there something better suited for sitting on a floor?

Why are do a lot of bacterial strains (especially infectious ones) end in -ococcus? Is there some sort of similarity, or merely confirmation bias on my part?

alnilam posted:I have an investing question so basic, I am having trouble finding a basic enough answer online. So someone help me please! I could be wrong but feel pretty confident based on my textbook knowledge of the topic that I'm not. This means that there are 12k shares available for sale at $2. If you bought 13k shares, 12k of it would be at $2 and the remaining 1k would be at whatever the next best ask price is. This how buying/selling drives the market price up or down. Minimum order sizes, if they exist, would be determined by your broker but I've never really seen them before. You can buy as much as you want, just know that there's usually transaction fees so buying $10 of a stock doesn't really make sense. There's a thread in BFC that could answer these kinds of questions for you, too. hayden. fucked around with this message at 21:56 on Dec 7, 2011 |

Wikipedia article on 'coccus' posted:Coccus (plural cocci) can be used to describe any bacterium that has a spherical shape. It is one of the three distinct types of bacteria shapes, the other two being bacillus (rod-shaped) and spirillum (spiral-shaped) cells.

You can, but if you had one lying around almost any really old stamp is worth more to sell to a stamp nerd than as postage. You're also allowed to use US Dollar bills as old as like 1863 as regular money today, though again, that's going to be worth more to sell to someone than to use buying mcdonald's.

I'm American. What kind of american sweets and candies can I get for a British person that they can't get in the UK? Certainly not nutella or Haribo sweets, for sure. Also, I'm sending it in the mail so no liquids/perishables.

Is there any way I can donate to an online charity completely anonymously? Like, I don't even want a receipt going to my house. I know I can use those for income tax purposes but I don't care. If it would email me the receipt that would be fine, I just don't want anyone knowing that I'm doing this. I've tried entering completely wrong address information, and a thank you letter still comes to my house (must be connected to my credit card address or something)

^^^ Is it the charity you don't want to know about it, or the people at your house/business? Do they have a physical location? Can you just drop off cash? Any sort of transaction is going to show up on your bank report.Hoops posted:Ooh, I thought of a good one that I've always been curious about. Lucky Charms cereal.

hooah posted:Why are do a lot of bacterial strains (especially infectious ones) end in -ococcus? Is there some sort of similarity, or merely confirmation bias on my part? Golbez posted:Stuff. More specifically, Latin's "coccus" comes from Greek's "kokkos," which means a seed or berry. So, "Staphylococcus" means "cluster of grapes + berries" and "Streptococcus" means "bent + (chain of ) berries." To answer you question on why a lot of pathogens end in -coccus, as far as Gram-positive bacteria, it's really just the two (staphylococcus and streptococcus). Even then, they are half-assed, conditional pathogens. The rest of the notable Gram-negative human pathogens are rods and staffs. They comfort me. There are, however, a handful of examples of pathogenic Gram-negative cocci, but they don't tend to end in -coccus unless you're a microbiologist who is 90 years old and stubborn. For example, Neisseria meningitidis (Sometimes improperly called "meningococcus") and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Sometimes called gonococcus or "Big Daddy.") You can probably guess their associated illnesses. If you can't, ask a hooker. There are also coccobacilli, which are part-rod, part-sphere, all awesome. They usually have variable shapes and this flexibility lends them toward plaque formation. An example: Bordetella pertussis, which is the rear end in a top hat coccobacillus that gives people whooping cough. Another example: Chlamydia trachomatis. Speaking of which, if ever you have the fun of a doctor telling you that you have "Coccobacilli on pap" or a "Coccobacilli shift in vaginal flora," they're talking about bacterial vaginosis. I once worked with a creepy dude who claimed he could tell if someone had bacterial vaginosis based only on smelling their pap smear. I'm not sure why I'm telling you that, but this is Ask/Tell so I felt like sharing.

So I just had my debit card info stolen, they bought some stuff on a website, it's a very minor amount of money. I disputed the charge and I'm getting a full refund, without any hassles, but I have to wonder: What's gonna happen to the people who stole my info? I used to think "welp probably nothing" but if the charge is no longer valid wouldn't that be used to trace the people, or at least cancel sending the product/invalidating it?

The item was most likely purchased through a proxy and the item (If there was a physical item purchased) shipped to a drop shipper or re-shipper who didn't know they were receiving stolen goods. If you caught it fast enough then yeah, they'll cancel the shipment.

These are all brands or kinds of sweets that we're aware of from American media but I don't know exactly what any of them are. Worth knowing that NO English person likes Hershey's. It tastes like vomit compared to our delicious chocolate.

I don't have a Blu-Ray player and my old DVD player is skipping and just sucks in general so I'd like to get a BR this weekend. I have Amazon Prime and Netflix. I will get one that at least plays Netflix but should I really get one that plays Amazon if it's 20-40 bucks more? I've never watched anything streaming on Amazon but in my brief browsing I didn't come across much there that wasn't already on Netflix.

Jeffrey Colon posted:I'm going to go ahead and call BS on that whole never hearing that pitch again thing. That just reeks of a stupid myth. I believe that comes from how we have much more astute hearing when we are young (up to 20 000hz or whatever) and it gets worse as you get older. A fire alarm is probably not high pitched enough to ever not be heard but certainly those really high frequencies are lost in your later years. Tinnitus is something different which is a constant (or sometimes it comes and goes) buzzing or whistling in the ear.
