Living with a professor in the sciences I can 100% say that this article is basically true. Some of the comments are amusing too

When you?re the scientist in the family

Number 1 thing is the books OMG: Good thing for Mrs Jammer I'm a bigger bibliophile than her, but when the moving estimates came in and the new university was all "WTF" the moving company replied "most people don't move 10,000lbs in books"

Secondly the time thing....wow are these folks completely unable to keep a schedule outside of their pet projects. Anyone in the field that isn't that way isn't going to last long but yeah its annoying to the other family members.

I may or may not have a significant number of geology textbooks buried at the back of a overfilled bookcase.

?You are nervous without recipes, even with simple combinations, like water and oatmeal, water and rice, water and pasta, water and frozen vegetables,? she wrote. ?You are inflexible when logic differs from the side of the box.? Now, look. If there's no recipe, with no measurements, how could the end product possibly be correct?? No precise quantities is madness. Chaos. Insanity!

So True.

Most households furniture/goods will total 10,000 lbs.

My home law library (all outdated- just for display) had about 1,000 books (each 2-3" thick). When I downsized, I gave the buyer a real good deal on them.

Adam Ruben. Love that guy. The Science Channel has a show called Outrageous Acts of Science, and he is one of several scientists that interject thoughts and explanations of the clips they're showing.

Most of the folks on there are a bit mechanical and sound coached. A few are natural and even somewhat humorous. Ruben is the only one who cracks me up routinely. I read recently that he actually does stand up routines somewhat regularly.

I read about this on NPR yesterday. They had an interesting take: Their issue was, in the future if this is used on humans there will be lawmakers that will want this as a reason to outlaw abortion and women will have to use this method instead. The doctor's retort was: I just want to help premature babies now. Interesting.
 
Not sure how this comes under the heading of science, but there are Botswana,Africa waterhole live cams that I check in on occasionally and find very interesting. Have viewed Zebra herds, Jackals, Hippos, Black Footed Cats, Impalas, Duiker with a crock living in one of the 2.
Pete's Pond on Mashatu and Djuma Waterhole Cam.
When busy doing things, I keep one of them on monitor. Kills a lot time during off hockey season.:Tongue_anim:

Between this and the BJ machine, women will become as reproductively obsolete as men. Simple egg donors.
