So, some nanomaterial researchers and bioengineers are experimenting with gold nanoparticle cancer therapy right now. It's pretty much the coolest thing ever. They hybridizing these gold nanospheres 10nm in diameter with enzymes that target them to receptors that only appear on tumors. The tumor cells eat the motherfuckers, and then a doctor and some engineers use an magnetic field tuned to only vibrate gold to cause the particles to wobble rapidly and heat the tumor, killing it. Then, the gold nanospheres are gobbled up by your white blood cells. Since gold isn't bioactive and the spheres (unlike filaments) aren't of a shape that poses a biological threat, they just chill out in your cells and don't do shit.
Also: Aluminum nanoparticles, by virtue of the fact that they have 100x more reactive sites than macro Al particles due to their unique size, spontaneously detonate in the presence of oxygen. With the right manufacturing facility, you could create a terrifically nasty nanoparticulate bomb.

Am I a bad person because this is the part I like?

Nah, bro, with a nano-thermobaric weapon you could theoretically create a partial vacuum strong enough to implode any building it detonated inside.

Oh my... What a delicious sound that would make. I have to see if anyone has recorded the sound of an implosion.
Please note that, to a nanobot, water would be as viscous as tar, and Brownian motion would make movement impossible. That's if you could build a "nanobot" to begin with. Thanks to quantum mechanics, building a robot on the cellular scale is quite impossible. K. Eric Drexler is a silly man.
When you return to the flat to see your flatmate leaving for a healthy run, and you've been awake for 22 hours, had a cigarette for breakfast, and your first meal of the day is Subway that you are carrying openly in that sad little plastic bag they package their already-moderately-depressing food in, it really makes you reevaluate how you're living your life.

I introduced my headingly housemates to the expression "Whore's Breakfast", y'know, a cup of coffee and a cigarette, and before too long, it became tradition for the smokers of the household.
Most of the best universities in the U.S. are private; that's just how it is.
Plus, between scholarships and grants, a private university education can end up costing about the same as a public one -- especially if you compare it to a public one that's outside your home state. It depends on the particular university, of course.
We know. There's nothing we can do about it immediately, because us Americans are expected to pull ourselves up by our non-existent bootstraps and work ourselves to death at 3 jobs so that we can pay for education.

Yeah, of course. Because only 1 in 3 people is allowed to work. So you work multiple jobs, FUCK YOU YOU DICKBAG. You're taking away jobs from people who need money just as hard as you do. Solution: STOP DEMANDING THAT HAVING A SWIMMING POOL IS THE BASE LEVEL OF LIVING.

Fucking...Just...Science, man.
I also very much approve of that cancer killing gold. Make people rich while they get poor!

Also, back from the island and/or piracy.

Jason begs you that you see the problem.
America sucks.
