The 'repeatable' part is interesting. Repeating miracles is difficult, and commanding miracles isn't how it works.

Good job.

I haven't worn a watch for a few years, and nothing out there makes me want to.

Battery life alone is a detractor. I could consider a more than one day life watch, and a cradle to charge it, with an option on the fly, but we go on to reason two:

Nothing in smartwatches is showing me a killer feature. Even fitness is half a loaf, since Google Fit is worth a try and the price is right...

A phone on my wrist is not very attractive to me. That small a screen for text previews, not so much. An alarm clock? Got that. Calendar? No advantage.

I am clearly not in the target market.

Interesting. Facts that lead to faith don't exist?

"Measurement is what causes the event to resolve itself."

So it really isn't definite until measured, or interacted with?

How close is this to stating it doesn't exist unless it is interacted with?

After reading 2600 off and on for at least 20 years, it's getting hard to find. Their publisher went insane, B&N doesn't seem to want to carry it. Frustrating.

Unadjusted. Yeah I know.

Ecclesiastes is also often misunderstood.

Should be a short presentation. Not so harmful as it seems.

Agreed. PhD graduates should especially be understanding of this. Unless their dissertations were without scrutiny, in which case they should consider themselves fortunate to have escaped the scrutiny of their peers, and members of the club of good-ol-boys.

More than a few atheists and agnostics similarly admit they can NEVER be convinced.

Reason and debate? Are these the exclusive province of secular society? Clearly dedication to your beliefs cannot be the defining factor, eh?

You can guess from the comments that many universities and colleges are not places of learning.

They are places of teaching.

Is that a critical skill where you live?

"if human height were evolving as fast as these lizards' toes, the height of an average American man would increase from about 5 foot 9 inches today to about 6 foot 4 inches within 20 generations"

I'm still trying to work out what environmental pressure would reward height.

I'm pretty much where I was in 2009. Which isn't so bad.

My last salary negotiation went like this:

"We're trying to get you enough money to stay here"

"Well, let's start where I was before the reduction that I never got back"

"Yes, we're working from the current market rate"

"Good. I'm looking to be in the upper range"

"Yes, we want you to stay...."

They did.

Not everyone is trapped in a 'lowest possible cost' position. You should develop better and more useful skills and attitude if you are.
