- It sounds like you already know the answer to your own question. To be a bit more specific, though, I would assume that "making it" in this case refers to being able to pay his bills using only the money he earned from doing comedy and therefore being able to continue doing comedy as long as he wants. The contrast between Jason and Brad is the clearest indication of this. Jason decided to obtain a more traditional job to pay his bills.0 votedJune 15, 20151
I translated a scientific article in Japanese into English. I would appreciate if you could correct my mistakes. thank you.
Title: We might get younger if we use iPS cell technology.
The research team at the University of Tsukuba reported that iPS cell technology can reproduce cells which have already lost their ability of generating energy. This disproves established theory. Many people hope this kind of technology can be developed soon and can be applied to humans.
Mitochondria inside cells produce energy by using oxygen, but as they age, their ability to do this is decreased. Previously, this decrease was believed to be caused by genetic mutation. If it were true, however, iPS cells couldn’t regenerate this ability.
The research team investigated the skin cells of four younger people (infancy to 12 years old) and four elderly people (80 to 97 years old). The extent of genetic mutation in both group were almost identical and therefore the established theory was not correct.
Then, the research team manipulated cells of elderly people to create iPS cells, and after that, to transform them into skin cells. These skin cells recovered their lost ability of generating energy.0 votedJune 15, 20154- Actually, I would write it without the comma, because bitterly modifies annoying. The problem is that bitter and annoying are two pretty different things, and I have a hard time imagining they going together. Bitterness is very harsh and resentful, a feeling that is not on the surface, but comes from within, that has resided in you for a while. Something annoying is bothersome, like a fly in your bedroom at night after you turn out the lights. :-)0 votedSeptember 19, 20140
No Windows. Linux is better
The summer is coming to an end and I'm still improving my knowledge of Linux. About half-year ago I stopped using Windows. The happened because I was studying at the university and my brother uses different (and free) OS.
So I chose Ubuntu for the first time as a simple system. What can I say about it? It works faster, has fewer bugs and problems than Windows. Also, I like using a command line interface in the Terminal. But I'm still newbie. The last 3 days I've been reading a manual for the text editor Vim. I hope I'll use it for my work and it will helpful. Another plus is that those manuals are in English.
But I know, I can try to work with this system for many years without making progress.(note: "less" is used for something that is measured and "fewer" is used for something that can be counted
