I'm not sure biologists ever see 'the usual' as I'm sure they tend to prefer a set of tools and an input model such as FASTA, I'm no biologist either though. Maybe a set of solvers that could be used to build more complex models.

Better yet, Athena can you reference literature that best represents your overall position. Preferably something written in the last two centuries, that doesn't require argument about literal translations. It often helps your argument when you share sources that support the fact that there is one.

As a follower of the thread I would even accept references to media such as film, maybe drawing comparisons against a movie like Jim Henson's - The Dark Crystal which has much to say about God, spiritual sojourns, and moral law. Just a thought though, I never know how seriously anyone takes anything I say (a very important point when considering any of my posts.)

I have also had a sort of hearing impairment most of my life. My ears get clogged and I get ear infections, where often my ability to hear is affected. For the last few months my ears have been a problem. I get headaches and dizziness that make it difficult for me to think. I don't believe these impairments push anyone in this sort of direction, especially these days where we have corrective devices. I guess there are the exceptional cases where it disables a child, as suggested by CaptainPanic, but I would push to say that these are the more extreme cases.

I have to agree with CaptainPanic with regards to activities. I was unable to join into most sporting activities when I was young because my family couldn't afford it. I did manage to scrape together some funds to join martial arts and cadets in my teens, but in all I hadn't spent near the time as many on these sorts of activities. This left me with much free time to pursue more intellectual and creative endeavours that required more imagination. I believe that my activities played the most important role in my personal development, as I am sure it is with most.

I'm a little confused why the title includes 'sneaky' . .. . it sort of implies that a more straight forward method of compiling an accurate answer exists, which which it doesn't. I believe simply "Methods of Estimating Pi" would have been most appropriate, however less fun . . . .

or "Numerical Methods of Estimating Pi"

My biggest concern with sex has always been STI's. Oddly enough, given my level of concern, I've only used protection maybe once and almost all of my companions have been complete strangers. I obviously have reason to be concerned, but this really goes for anyone and everyone.

It has been mentioned to evaluate and be prepared, as well as consciously aware, but little emphasis has been placed on exactly what that means. Most men will say "well I have little chance of getting . . . " which isn't really the case. Men have a tendency to masturbate which can break the skin and HIV is easily transmittable at opportune times. There is also HPV which can get pretty ugly. How do you feel about blood tests? Sleeping around with a conscious means a lot of blood samples will be taken. I am personally very lucky to be clean still at this time, especially given who my partners were, and these are things you are really going to want to consider.

Condoms break, all the time, are you ready to have children. There are girls who will lie to you about the state of their birth control. Often young women really want to be mothers and they can go to extents to get what they want.

Honestly wait, it is not worth the hassle. Find someone you really like and take your time there is no rush! Maybe first discover what it means to be a friend of a women first and then consider what it would mean to be more. All too often young men are entirely too preoccupied with the end result, and they have never even made friends . . .
