    Smartphones and smartphone plans

    What type of smartphones does the escapist have, and what are your plans? I am curious because i also seek to enter the smartphone world, but lack the funds to just go "gung ho" on one. I figured some sampling would then be in order. Justifications for why you like it are a bonus. For...

    Advice on TV for secondary monitor for causal play.

    I think my monitor has a 60hz refresh rate as well. So would i notice? My GPU would not be a limiting factor right? Is screen tearing a given? Or is it bearing on the "quality" of the TV. I dont feel like ordering a TV via online means, but I live near a walmart and on their website i...

    I want to buy a TV to use for a secondary monitor to play games at a distance, like when im in bed. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was told that i would need something 1080p. My GPU for my computer is a small form factor GTX 960. I would like to spend around 200$, although less...

    Bad luck with roommates.

    I try using a vape pen to mask the odor, but I can never really tell how I or my room smells. #noseBlind. On topic: I think that is just one of the disadvantages of group living; even though its cheaper, finding compatability with strangers is hard. If you can't afford to live on your...

    Do you prep?

    I would like to prep, but to do it in a concise manner would mean spender a decent chunk of change on reliable multitools. I lack the funds for that. If I was rich though, id invest in those tools + a nice van that i could modify( solar powered roof, electric stove top, bedding, etc...).

    how close to your food source are you ?

    Oreo cookies don't grow anywhere silly. They are crafted by the Oreo elves, how else could they get such interesting designs? On topic: I live near the canadian border around a lot of amish farms as well as local farmers. I still do my shopping at the local grocers simply because I lack the...

    I'm tired

    If you a student, I think some schools have health services such as counselors to talk to or other professionals. I would be wary of taking any specific advice from strangers on the web though (Yes I know this statement is hypocritical given the next statements). Or even if not available...

    The Escapist's Math Corner

    To be honest I have no idea. I purchase these bioinformatics books a while back because I was interested in the field. I had previously taken an "introduction to genomics" class as well as a discussion based class on genomics. So I figured drilling through some books would be a good idea. I...

    The Escapist's Math Corner

    How would one suggest the learning of statistics, for a would-be biologist? I am interested in genomics and bioinformatics but lack a strong math or coding background.

    Is there really no "Cons" to a Vegetable only diet?

    I think the longest I lasted on a vegetarian diet was 3 days, and then I wimped out. I just missed eating meat so much, so I guess that would be the con. Although watching that recent episode on VICE about the environmental hazards of irresponsible meat production made me consider the no...

    Cancer will always be with us, according to more recent research

    Maybe my paranoia wants me to believe this is true, I hope it is not. On the plus side, we have all the rapid science from the capitalist motivations of money. A negative would be the lack of "morals" or "ethics" I guess, whichever word fits better, that these industries are allowed to operate with.
