How would you go about dating as a sociophobic 29 yr old virgin?

I think I would be in heaven if she was also even remotely attractive. I would begin by saying Hi by email.

How many coronary arteries are there?

Don't know

Where is the pituitary gland?

I know it's a gland responsible for producing numerous growth hormones. Those with non functioning pituitary glands are either giants or dwarfs. And it's near the base of the beck I think.

Why do people with kidney failure get anaemia?

Not sure. Does anaemia have to do with Iron deficiency?

What diseases are covered by the MMR and DTaP vaccines, and what does the 'a' stand for?

No idea.

What is an anastomosis?

Don't know

What do anti-emetics do?

Prevent one from throwing up.

I see. Interesting. Well, that's another trochlea then.

Why does everyone give me Medical questions? Those are not my strong suit. So far my best has been Disgruntled Virus' questions. But he has not replied yet.

Figure the maximum static load of a 1" T beam with a span of 30' supported only at the ends. Static weight is suspended from a single point midway along the span.

You have 15 minutes. Go.

I know nothing about architecture though it is a field I'm interested in.

Who said, "Logic is the cement of our civilization with which we ascend from chaos using reason as our guide"?

No idea. Spock.

What is the molecular formula of yominum sulfide crystals?

A1B2C3D4

What significant legal precedent arose from the peace pact between Argus and Rigel IV?

Wat?

Solve:
White Queen to section 5, grid 6.
Queen takes Knight.
Rook takes Queen.
White pawn to section 5, grid 7, pawn takes Rook.

How sexy is the queen here?

Evaluate and Conclude:
A starship's sensors indicate it is being pursued so closely that it occupies the same space as its pursuer.

Come to a complete stop?

What significant contribution to bioengineering was made on the Loonkerian outpost on Klendth?

I am not familiar with this Sci-Fi

What is the electronic configuration of gadolinium?

No idea

Where were the first conclusive advances made on toroidal space-time distortion and by whom?


Que?

How do you feel?

Depressed, more than usual. And drunk.

i can't think of a single country that is double land-locked. every country i can think of is either bordered by water or is landlocked by another country that has a water border.

Austria is pretty close. looks like maybe 10% of it's border with DE has part of a river.

 

[Locut0s]

1. There are only two double-landlocked countries in the world. What is the name of one of them?

I have a map on the wall above my computer but I don't think that's going to help me much. I didn't look up this or any other answer. My guess is Armenia.

2. Which elements on the Periodic Table have only one syllable?

Only one I can think of is Gold

3. What familial relationship is often used to describe relationships in code?

Parent and child

4. What is the appropriate resolution for graphics intended for print? For digital?

As far as I know it's 300 dpi

5. What do the letters in CMYK stand for?

Cyan Magenta Yellow and Black

Ok... Hay I'm drunk right now.

Nope, but a solid guess.

It's the Raven, a tiny hand-launched UAV that can stay aloft for ~90 minutes. They're actually pretty neat.

holy shit, that rocks!

It reminds me of a glider.
My grandpa was a glider pilot in WW2. He lost his leg during Market Garden.

Why all the medical questions? I'm much stronger in astrophysics and cosmology.

you said "science" in OP...

 

[Locut0s]

My grandpa was a glider pilot in WW2. He lost his leg during Market Garden.

My grandfather was part of the Canadian army during WWII but he was JUST too late to actually serve during combat. A fact that he laments to this day publicly, and he is likely not to live much longer.

 

[Locut0s]

you said "science" in OP...

True. I'm drunk and depressed right now so who cares

Why does everyone give me Medical questions? Those are not my strong suit. So far my best has been Disgruntled Virus' questions. But he has not replied yet.

Medicine is what I know most about. It's just much more convenient for me, because I can make questions without having to constantly look up information. I would have thought given the focus of this board that most people giving questions would give questions in other areas of the physical sciences. Maybe my questions are too hard...

There are lots of coronary arteries, technically, but two main ones that divide to give the coronary tree - the left, and the right.

Yup, it's also responsible for quite a few other things like sexual maturation, thyroid function, etc. It's about the size of a pea, located in a socket of bone known as the sella turcica behind the nasal cavity - this is how surgeons access the pituitary, by drilling through two small walls (almost membranes) of bone at the back of the nose.

Anaemia is basically just a low haemoglobin level in the blood, and it can be caused by a variety of different conditions, iron deficiency being one. The most common cause in chronic renal failure would likely be due to a lack of erythropoietin, a hormone produced by the kidney that regulates the production of red blood cells. Without EPO, no red blood cells. No red blood cells, no haemoglobin. Another possible cause could be anaemia of chronic disease (I don't know if renal failure would cause this, though), where the body takes up all the iron it can and moves it into cells and out of the blood, simulating iron deficiency.

Measles, Mumps, Rubella for MMR. DTaP is Diphtheria, Typhoid, and acellular Pertussis.

An anastomosis is a reconnection of blood vessels that have previously split.

Very good.

Appeal to popularity. Sorry. Just because many people know about it does not mean it is important, or useful, or anything other than complete and utter drivel.

The answers:

uzbekistan has a water border. liechtenstein i can see... i was gonna say that, but for some reason i thought "no, because it's landlocked with a country that's landlocked with a country that has a water border" so i didn't say it because i thought i was looking for a country that was landlocked by countries that were landlocked...
