I went to see norm MacDonald live last month and he started out with jokes about how homophobes are closet gays, which is old hat but he delivered it well, then segued into 20 min of "Caitlyn jenner cut her dick off" jokes. I couldn't even tell if the rest of his set was funny because I was just out of the mood. Audience loved it all of course :shrug:

lol here it is:
A Mathematical Model for the Determination of Total Area Under Glucose Tolerance and Other Metabolic Curves


Abstract

OBJECTIVE To develop a mathematical model for the determination of total areas under curves from various metabolic studies.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In Tai's Model, the total area under a curve is computed by dividing the area under the curve between two designated values on the X-axis (abscissas) into small segments (rectangles and triangles) whose areas can be accurately calculated from their respective geometrical formulas. The total sum of these individual areas thus represents the total area under the curve. Validity of the model is established by comparing total areas obtained from this model to these same areas obtained from graphic method Gess than ±0.4%). Other formulas widely applied by researchers under- or overestimated total area under a metabolic curve by a great margin.

RESULTS Tai's model proves to be able to 1) determine total area under a curve with precision; 2) calculate area with varied shapes that may or may not intercept on one or both X/Y axes; 3) estimate total area under a curve plotted against varied time intervals (abscissas), whereas other formulas only allow the same time interval; and 4) compare total areas of metabolic curves produced by different studies.

CONCLUSIONS The Tai model allows flexibility in experimental conditions, which means, in the case of the glucose-response curve, samples can be taken with differing time intervals and total area under the curve can still be determined with precision.

doctors aren't real scientists. reminder that they stole the white lab coat from science in order to try and boost their reputation (before like the 30s they wore dark colors so the blood wouldn't show)

i will never forget a night when my dad was reading one of his doctor magazines and threw it down in disgust and i asked why and he pointed at an article. the article was a meta-review of physicians' self-reported happiness/job satisfaction scores, plotted against their pay and the number of hours worked.

it turned out that the happiest doctors were the ones who worked the least and were paid the most!!

people that deserve the respect accorded to scientists:

-scientists (physical and life sciences)

people who are most assuredly Not Scientists and whose opinions on anything 1 millimeter outside their daily job duties are almost invariably useless:

-doctors
-lawyers
-engineers
-police (no, your "professional opinion" about crime rates is useless)
-polling administrators
-social media trends analysts
-marketers
-TED talk-givers
-anyone not carefully quantifying the margin of uncertainty in their work and also freely admitting and pointing out any areas where they were forced to make assumptions, as well as justifications for every single assumption they made

did you watch the joe rogan 9/11 show yet?

i think alex forgot he was on camera or realized his audience never sees him but the part where he smokes a tiny bit of weed and gets insaner than usual is basically how i see myself

he also had a couple shots of whiskey

it's almost like the batshit is coming from inside himself

i *cough* never smoked that highly potent illegal drug

*winks at camera he shouldn't remember is there because he's so loving confused*

and it's the wrong camera

*winks at microphones*

queue joe telling him that he's constantly loving up his mic levels because he can't even comprehend microphone technology
