Well, to be fair, she did waste a year on the dual-degree program when the JD makes businesses think twice about hiring a "flight risk" who could run to a law firm, and an MBA signals to many (most?) excellent firms that she's not committed to law.
No: Deferments do not suspend interest accrual (unless you're talking about Federal Subsidized Stafford Loans, which have a cap at like 40K over your lifetime). What planet do you live on?
I think it's quite difficult to argue that Michael Phelps has improved the United States in any appreciable way. However, it's inarguable that the top physicists contribute to the US immensely.
Suggesting that a brilliant person defer grad school for a few years just wastes resources. After about age 30-45 (depending on field), it is said one can no longer contribute meaningfully to the field. Do you really want to shrink the span of time in which society could derive a monumental benefit from a person because of your opposition to grad students having it a bit easier?
Note that my argument is about societal benefit, not individual benefit.
Think what we would have had [bupkis] if Feynman had been in grad school an extra four years, what the physics community would have lost out on?
People who advocate ## 1 and 2 have likely never had to do either. #1 is a terrible option, as it absolutely wastes the most brilliant minds. That's effectively two years of potential research opportunities and learning wasted. It would literally retard the "creators" by two years across all of society. I was accepted into a prestigious undergraduate program where we could work directly with tenured professors in the sciences. Many of my friends did this their fresh and soph years.
#2 is also terrible. I worked one year in school, and my GPA dropped nearly a half point. While there isn't a 1-to-1 correlation b/w knowledge and GPA, it's not a zero-correlation either.

I was recently at Yosemite during the Perseid meteor shower, and I got to really look at the Milky Way "scar" for the first time with my own eyes. My parents have a house in rural Texas, but the visibility was nowhere near what it was smack dab in the middle of a wide open Yosemite field at midnight.
It's interesting that you say it's half a million to one, another poster in this thread said it's quadrillions to one, and both of you showed your work.
Cheap monitors cost like $30 for the regular consumer. They don't record anything. They display and that's it. And if you buy in bulk like a school would, you can probably get them for $20 or less.
I like sprinting balls to the wall to see how high I can get my HR. I've managed to hit 201 playing some 3-on-3 basketball nonstop during a few successive fast breaks. But I have *knocks on wood* excellent cardiac health. My resting HR is 50 and I'm 25. That is what I find fun: sprints to see how quickly I can ramp my HR up, and how high I can make it go.
Granted, I have a very good Polar unit that stores the data and lets me transmit it to the computer later, so it's easy to track "max HR" during a workout. It's not like I stare at the monitor while running or anything. (Although it's a great example of how hypnotic biofeedback can be.)

I actually prefer to pluralize in accordance with the original Hebrew: Noobim.
24 states have laws punishing faithless electors, to be fair.
But will it BLEND?
No you don't; you can use USB.

Since they're nondischargeable in bankruptcy, your collateral is effectively infinity: all your future earnings and subsequently-acquired property.
There was a government mandated moratorium on foreclosures. So yes, in a manner of speaking the government did bail out homeowners.
Unless you're not a homeowner until you've paid off your mortgage (which I guess is technically true even if not conventionally true).
Shut it, Hermione.

Some of us like to have notes and annotations for important passages and not have to worry about the wind depriving us of our previous insights.
If it was good enough for Fermat, it's good enough for me.
Indeed.

Odd, considering that showing either on the Disney Channel is likely illegal.
Phenomenon. Phenomenon. Phenomenon is singular, phenomena is plural.
Thank you, that is all.

I don't know if I'd characterize it as a sexual kick or erotic. Maybe I feel a bit of pride? I enjoy showing off?
But, to be fair, I am in tremendous shape now. When I was fat I didn't like walking around shirtless.
Clearly you've never used Facebook. Do you seriously think that's what Facebook is? Really?
This is what fat nerds actually believe.

My sister's school tried this until the PTA got wind of it and shat a collective single-kid-toting, gas-guzzling SUV-sized brick.
