Sounds just like me.Cruised through high school with straight A average. Physics teacher gave bonus marks for extra lab and exam questions, I scored 114 %. First year science I was having way too much fun and my marks dropped to Bs. First year engineering I was much harder than I expected and I came within a millimeter of failing the year. Finally figured out that three months of foosball and an all-nighter cramming before the exams wasn't going to cut it any more. I started working problem sets on the blackboard with three other coneheads every night after class and (holy shit) actually learning the course material. By 4th year the marks were back up to As and Bs.

Starcraft gave me my first taste of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Every day 8 hours CAD, 10 hours Starcraft. Hurt like a bitch after a few months. I had to give up the Starcraft for about 3 months and mouse left handed at work.

I think this is for the best. I am old enough to remember a time before cellphones, so take this for my version of "get off my lawn". There is a certain species of person who has a need to carry out a phone conversation while on public transportation. I don't expect dead quiet on a train, but listening to someone shout random phrases into a their phone from the time they get on the train till the time they get off 40 minutes later pushes the boundaries of courtesy a little too far. I'm afraid that if someone sat down next to me and talked all the way from Seattle to Atlanta I might snap. I'm imaging something like Bill Duke in Predator - "bleed ya real quiet, leave ya there." I would like to get through my days without having to leave a seatmate behind with a little plastic knife in his spleen.

Listen up Ladies. You know all those other tech companies that pay you 70 cents for every dollar they pay the men. Well if you come to work for Onkeltech I will pay you 72 cents for every dollar I pay my male employees. I know; it sounds too good to be true. Send resumes now.

You have no idea. Small airplanes have much less stringent security requirements. I flew from Vancouver to Victoria last year on Harbour Air (10 seat floatplane). I called to find out how far in advance i had to be there. HA - What time is your flight?. Me - 7 AM. HA - be there no later than 10 to 7. No security check of any sort. At 7:00 on the nose the pilot walked into the lounge, announced the flight and we all walked down to the dock together. This was downtown to downtown, and the from the time I arrived at the "Airport" to the time I walked off the dock in Victoria was 35 minutes. Pure awesome.

I used to work at a $Very Big Transportation Company from 1982 to 1998. They are now clients of our company. Earlier this year Transportation Company needed to give me access to some of their systems. My old username and account, from 1998, were still in their systems.

They all go on the B-Ark.

Hack the iPhone. The problem with this is the FBI doesn't care one particle about the data on "the iPhone" They just want to use it as a lever to bend Apple to their will.

Interesting idea. Does ISIS threaten to punch people wearing Google Glass "right in the face"

"Whatever is in them". - They contain ethanol. Ethanol will happily kill bacteria on contact. Bacteria do not become resistant to ethanol. They just die.

" First off, why shouldn't anybody fight that under any circumstances?" - Absolutely - Why have an ox pull your plow when your wife can do it.

Which particular tenet of atheism requires murdering people?

This friend of a friend of a guy who knew my cousin (it wasn't me, really) once drove 3 hours the wrong way in Germany because he was following maps and signs to Rottenburg, when he was actually trying to get to Rothenburg.

I heard someone refer to one of his coworkers as a "Zika baby". That didn't take long.

And one ovary!
