Apparently I've got SVT, and my prescription may hang in the balance as a result. The condition on its own is semi-benign, and can be cured (I think) with surgery. But it presents with some pretty scary symptoms - the most obvious being palpitation "episodes", wherein heart rate leaps from its resting state up to 180+ BPM (200+ with Adderall) almost instantly, maintains that rate for a couple minutes, then crashes back to resting rate in the span of less than a second. When it happens to me, I get a bit weak in the knees and my head starts to hurt like hell, but as soon as it's over I feel completely fine. I spent a while reading about the potential consequences, and I couldn't find any dire

lim (x^2 + x - 2)/(x - 1) = 3
x->1

I’ve been finding deltas in terms of epsilon for a little while, and all of them seemed obvious until I tried this one. I was getting (correct) answers of delta equaling some simple fraction of epsilon, so in this case I figured that they would be equal to each other (since |x - a| = |f(x) - L|). Apparently, though, delta is less than or equal to epsilon here. Does anyone know why the answer has that extra condition?

I keep hearing this quote on the Gaming Minute and I can't for the life of me figure out where it's from. It's really bugging me. Does anyone know?

I'll make a long story short: I did a stupid thing and burned the fuck out of two of my fingers. It was a molten plastic spill; I got my hand under cold water as soon as I could, but it looks like it was too late.

Here it is, just after the cold water wash: http://i.imgur.com/0JWcjpE.jpg

As I type, the burn seems to be yellowing (very) slightly and is producing small amounts of clear liquid (probably pus?). I'm hoping it's just a second-degree but the uniform whiteness scares me.

It's a bad day for me. I really cannot afford to take a trip to the hospital just to find out I need some bandages and cream to help with scarring. Will I at least be able to retain functionality in my finger

What happened to the 4chan archive system? You can't sort by post number anymore and the amount of time the threads stay up has changed.

Sorry, couldn't find anywhere else to ask.

Just who do they think they are??

I was listening to a recent Bombcast and an Email mentioned Dan finding a mysterious totem on the beach and calling the cops because of it. What was it? Is there a story behind this?

There was a pretty similar question about a year ago in this thread:

But I didn't see any concrete answers as to what Comcast does after issuing a sixth warning strike. I know that once you've gotten it, you are required to have a conversation with a Comcast representative to regain proper access to the Internet. But what happens if a seventh offense is committed? Does the warning system reset back to strike #1, is the consequence the same as that of strike #6, or is it something entirely different?

But seriously, I'm obviously new to the whiskey scene and I want to see how you guys would rank this "starters pack" of whiskey. I know they're pretty low-end compared to what's usually posted here, but I'm curious. Which one is the best? Which one is the worst?

I've got Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon (white sticker), Jameson Triple Distilled, and Maker's Mark 90 proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon (which I assume are all the lowest-end versions). Personally I find Jim Beam disgusting, and it burns my throat like no other, while Jameson I think is the smoothest.

I'm sure you guys are used to better whiskeys, but... thoughts?

Just a couple questions here. I know badges and cards are almost worthless unless you're really into the metagame of it all, so I never really got involved in the whole process.

I was participating in the Summer Sale for the first time in quite a while, and I noticed that I was receiving a different card for each game I bought. The only common theme between them is that they all fall under the category of "Summer Picnic Sale". Beyond that, they all have unique pictures and phrases associated with them. Is there anything specific that determines which card you receive and what they say, or is it totally random and meaningless?

Oh, also, you get a badge once you rack up a certain number of
