Injected diseases? Vaccination doesn't work like that. Closest would be attenuated vaccines.

I'm lucky to have a family that do not treat me like an ATM.

However, I also only rarely get a simple "kumusta" from them, and it drives me to depression every once in a while. It's I who usually take the initiative to see how they're doing.

This feels like the Onion video regarding Hillary Clinton, the Onion should rehash it with Vance, Trump, and Musk

Upvoting for the prion

ChatGPT ahh caption

Right? There has been a noticeable moral backsliding since Duterte became president.

Oh so is the Philcoa UP jeep terminal still open? Or do you just wait for any UP bound jeep at Commonwealth?

If you have the grit, you can never go wrong with UPD's BS Computer Science :)

I respect your opinion. To each their own hiring preferences.

But to add to your perspective, computer science is not all about programming, it also imparts us with competencies geared towards elegant problem solving and efficient information representation that helps bridge fields together, with a practical understanding of math, physics, and statistics (data science) on top of that. As the one you have replied to above, an understanding of data structures and algorithms and even automata theory is being found useful in refining biochemical concepts (recently, I did a lecture in physical biochemistry mixed with basic state machines, and my audience found the alternative viewpoint helpful). Even knowledge of ODEs from numerical computing can also find uses in modeling certain immunoassays and simulating cellular and even epidemiological processes.

As an aside, programming and code base maintenance and dev frameworks are probably the simplest things in CS, but the sterotypical impression is understandable as many universities ended up dropping the computing from CS, focusing only on webdev or gamedev, etc. Luckily, I am a product of a balanced CS degree. I understand that many things in CS are just abstracted away for the other sciences, notably into toolkits and proprietary GUIs, but I firmly believe that there is value in also taking the effort to learn these to some level of depth, as I find value in learning biochemistry and knowing where the data I was processing for bioinformatics are coming from, and how I can do that myself, so I'm not limited to code churning, but also to knowledge generation in medicine.

And for me, I am working hard to ensure that my knowledge in CS and mol bio are not built separately, but systematically and in harmony with one another. I find this really useful as I'm studying molecular and translational medicine, with my peers also being happy to have someone who can help them quickly build intuitive bioinformatics pipelines.

What I'm planning to do soon is to help onboard my peers in machine learning and data science, so concepts like PCA and UMAP (esp. in flow cytometry) are not being thrown around without a proper understanding. Those are just some of the reasons why people like me are here, dreaming and doing to become computational biologists. And the stipend is just the cherry on top.

It is difficult, but that doesn't mean I'm not enjoying it. :)

> The weird thing is, a PhD say in like genetics is held in higher esteem for these positions, even if they never studied data structures, algorithms, et cetera. The whole placement of people in industry makes no sense qualifications wise.

As someone whose first degree is in CS, and is now taking PhD in mol bio, I feel somewhat reassured by your statement. Although I must admit, this is a difficult leap to take.

Kinda agree. Try talking with some of them, and give them dreams.

If not for the WHO's campaigns to eradicate or eliminate various kinds of diseases, it's highly likely that many of us wouldn't be here.

Hello! Iirc it was a pretty fast process. Less than a week I think I got my funds, minus the admin deductions and poor performance.

If the policy is working well for you, maybe try using a VPN?

I'm unsure of the specifics (I don't even know if partial withdrawal is possible), but by partially withdrawing before your policy's lock-in period ends, you might only be able to get back a percentage of the amount withdrawn from your VUL account. If you are treating your VUL also as an investment, you may also consider that there will be lower funds for the VUL manager to work with, and lower funds to grow/wither. But this has the benefit that you're insulating your partially withdrawn funds from a bad market (or a bad manager).

Please read the specifics of your insurance+investment policy to know exactly the details.

Are you still in the negative? I know this question wouldn't concern someone who's just in it for the insurance, not the investment, but then again, if that's the case, one should just get 2 products where one specializes in investment and one in insurance. A combined variable life insurance is an oxymoron. People say here that what we're really paying VULs are with opportunity costs, and salesperson commissions.

Attesting to enjoying while suffering >_<

CS is an amazing subject area <3

💖💖 Thanks po was able to get back via Jeep

Hello thank you! Hahaha i took the train po kasi wala ako makita sa sign board na intramuros, pero i then saw mga jeep sa tapat ng city hall with the same signboards. Thank you so much po! How about getting back to PGH, anong signboard po ng jeep na dapat sakyan?

Hello! Sorry I couldn't answer your question about which school is great and accessible for BA Tourism, but maybe you could try looking up CHED Centers for Excellence for the program. As per stats, don't worry too much about it! Small part lang ng math section yon, mostly on basic statistics and discrete prob, just brush up on your random variables and descriptive statistics and interpreting research data (mostly tabular), try using Khan Academy for lectures/practice and Org Chem Tutor for practice or other resources, and you're good to go!

Just prepare for UPCAT and ACET and you'll be able to ace any entrance exam you'll take. (I haven't taken ACET but they said it is supposedly harder than UPCAT, so it might just be a payabangan contest, so just prepping for UPCAT might be enough) Rooting for you!!!

Also I don't think they make reviewers for Lyceum

Even if this is wishful polling, this should be shared extensively. I really agree kasi that survey results, especially for pinoys, have a great impact on who people chooses to vote for, as survey toppers help with name recall and visibility, and many who treats politics as a game will often choose who they think will win.

On the other hand, I also have this radical idea that it should be UNLAWFUL to publish survey results during the campaign period, to avoid mental conditioning as surveys are being weaponized to tell people who to vote for. It's a self-reinforcing trend that gets amplified every released survey result. I believe that SWS, Octa, and Pulse Asia please polling have some responsibility in why we are in this deep political shit.

I've read some comments here regarding conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and that the engineered peptide in the referenced news article transports the CLA as its payload for better delivery to SARS-CoV-2 S protein. But reading the news article, I don't find any mention of CLA. Can you please share why you brought up the "greasy food" thing in relation to this article?

I have also seen other commenters who seek to confuse peptides (which are short amino acid chains) for oils... You might also be confusing it yourself.

Don't Chinese people also work multiple jobs and get crippling medical debt? Genuinely asking
