I would too expecting a counter between 21 - 22.

For those of you that don't know. I received my approval to advance for CHP and am finally entering backgrounds. Feels good to have made it this far.

From a selfless POV, congrats. On a personal level... dont tread on me piggy.

Google is buying the next generation simple quantum computers. It's still very young, but fascinating tech. It has some people freaking out, because it would, among other things, render all current encryption mechanisms futile, make pattern recognition systems (like face, etc.), basically instantaneous, etc. It also let us completely explore problem sets that are currently off limits, or very difficult, like protein folding. But we're not quite there yet. The tech is amazing.

Protein folding?

Proteins are complex chains of amino acids. They can fold into molecularly appropriate forms, compatible with life, or they can be malformed and cause trouble for the organism. The process of folding from one form to another is a combinatorically huge problem space.

Quote:

Protein folding is the process by which a protein structure assumes its functional shape or conformation. It is the physical process by which a polypeptide folds into its characteristic and functional three-dimensional structure from random coil.[1] Each protein exists as an unfolded polypeptide or random coil when translated from a sequence of mRNA to a linear chain of amino acids. This polypeptide lacks any stable (long-lasting) three-dimensional structure (the left hand side of the neighbouring figure). Amino acids interact with each other to produce a well-defined three-dimensional structure, the folded protein (the right hand side of the figure), known as the native state. The resulting three-dimensional structure is determined by the amino acid sequence (Anfinsen's dogma).[2] Experiments [3] beginning in the 1980s indicate the codon for an amino acid can also influence protein structure.

The correct three-dimensional structure is essential to function, although some parts of functional proteins may remain unfolded.[4] Failure to fold into native structure generally produces inactive proteins, but in some instances misfolded proteins have modified or toxic functionality. Several neurodegenerative and other diseases are believed to result from the accumulation of amyloid fibrils formed by misfolded proteins.[5] Many allergies are caused by incorrect folding of some proteins, for the immune system does not produce antibodies for certain protein structures.[6]

Sprint had my phone for repairs.

Can anyone think of a better was to say 'check for bikers in your blindspot?' in a short sweet way? Want to get a vinyl decal cut

Shaolin Crane 06-23-2013 03:14 PM

Don't be a dike. Check for bikes.

Lol, like.

Shaolin Crane 06-24-2013 01:42 AM


Grabbed these today for $300

Shaolin Crane 06-24-2013 02:59 AM

And mounted. Love that I can clear 36's on stock height.

I haven't welded it to the truck yet

Thanks. With how bald my tires were and the price I couldn't pass them up. The rub a little on full lock and compression but nothing terrible. Going to fix the front suspension cause now the truck is kind of bouncy, and well, it's trashed :smack:

Thats a ridiculous deal btw, craigslist?

Oh I'm a lowballer. No shame lol

Well it was a nice idea when I had it. I was going to pay off a not insubstantial personal business debt with a re-fi as we have lots of equity, but just after we started the process, the bond market went ape shit. Folks on my end have been waiting for the shoe to drop and expect it to get much much "worse". It's not a big deal personally other than what was going to be a nice free cash flow if I could have gotten the re-fi at a low rate over a long term will now be redirected to paying the business loan. It's half piss off as I was looking forward to having a little play money for the first time in years, but half ok since I'd be paying off a loan in 4 years or so instead of 30.

Youre the saddest guy ever to own his own home, his own business, his dream car, and to be in a happy marriage ;)
