40 year olds have teenagers that take care of their own toilet, and are perfectly capable of taking out the trash and doing the dishes.
On the other hand, the kids beat the heck out of me on computer games now, which is somewhat disconcerting after playing down to their level all those years.=^P
57 seconds. And I would have been within a couple of seconds a decade ago, too. Most musicians tend to have a fairly good concept of tempo.
So, does any of this explain why my metronome keeps speeding up and slowing down?
I keep replacing them, but the new ones always seem to be broken too...
It should have been moved close to midnight but I suspect these guys, like the Nobel Foundation, are in love with the new president. They think the world is all rainbows and poppies now, despite plenty of evidence to the contrary.
Plenty of poppies in Afghanistan these days, but for the rainbows I think you need more of a hallucinogen....which is what I suppose you're positing for the source of the optimism from the aforementioned guys?
Oh, understood, and I don't mean to poke at you or your position. I'm just trying to sort out if movies are *mostly* watch-once - if the mix is 50%:50%, 80%:20%, 95%: 5%, or what.
So, you have some set of movies you love that you watch again and again. And yes, my young kids were the same way. My wife always wants to see something new, and can't watch movies again for years after, and that's just the way she is. Different people, ok.
...but even for a favorite-movie type, you spend some of your time finding new favorite movies, right? How much of the time do you watch a new film vs an old one? You can see there is definitely a place for (renting or streaming) and for owning here.
The problem is that if there is a critical GW problem what will it take to avoid it, will carbon taxes that would demolish the economy fix it, or must more be done at a greater cost. Is the cure more harmful than the problem?
Now if the economy is demolished, that will *really* slow down carbon emissions and reduce the burden on the environment... Woohoo!
This is what I'm doing at home. An old PC serves as VM host running VirtualBox. Then I have a VM running PFSense and another running our web server. The samba server for backsups and print server are run from the VM host itself (although I'm thinking about moving this to a VM so I do heavy maintenance without trashing the gateway and the web server.) It's been working well for us. I really love being able to go to a web site on the gateway and see what's going on with traffic. Also, I'm using the gateway VM to segregate segments of the LAN so whatever nasty viruses our tenants get on their computer don't have easy access to the rest of my LAN. There is no IP addr exposed on either the WAN or the hostile LAN segments.
Ohhhkaaay. My great grandparents were in eastern Europe at the time. Perhaps Bill's grandparents were half slave owners 1/4 slaves and 1/4 abolitionists. How do you propose to fairly apportion blame and restitution here? And for how many generations?
Hmm... perhaps *you* should have posted AC....not that it would have helped the frustration. I recall spending those days thinking, "I wonder if we'll ever know why they're *really* going in."
So it seems you value representative control rather than awarding work to the most capable. That really doesn't match what I value at all, but perhaps it's more complicated than that.
I can see how there might be an old-boys network that would select the boys in the club instead of the most capable, and that ain't right either. Maybe we even need some kind of force pushing people to balance this more through the government.
Really, the government approach seems crude and unfair, and I wish there were a better way.
...but you really need to look at the issues at hand instead of calling BS on people that look at it differently. Bring up the social issues instead of dismissing the rhetoric instead of complaining that they're not. You can bring the discussion to a higher level instead of a lower one.
Hmm... "capable of translating text between English and 11 other languages (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, Italian, Russian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Arabic)." Nope. Don't see Female on the list. Perhaps that's why they're not productizing it. Can it really be that useful if you can't understand (roughly) half the people on the planet?
That's a big issue, yes. Also fault tolerance. You gotta map out the dead processors and communications nodes (in real time?), move the load around to compensate, and log the problems for maintenance.
Ok, so say you want to use code you can't understand in a system. You have two choices: A - unit-test the heck out of it so you know it won't fail, which generally takes longer than understanding it, especially when it fails and you have to fix code you don't understand. B - Just integrate it with the rest of the system, hope it works, and when it doesn't, somebody else spends a considerable amount of time debugging what went wrong, tracks it down to your code, understands it, realizes whoever wrote it doesn't understand it, and relays the experience to your boss. Taking an hour to understand the thing, and perhaps another to simplify it saves lots of time and humiliation in the long run.

Dude, no, those are 30 year old games.

So, over 3 years, 179 / 188,500 weapons went missing, 0.09%, only slightly higher than the percentage eaten by beavers or flattened by steam rollers.
What a travesty. How could they have been so careless with our tax dollars. Let's impeach Obama.
=^P
Wow, your 1987 calculator was ***way*** smaller than mine! How did you read the teeny little display?

Ah, but is that salt water or fresh?
Ya, but they started building the things just as fast as they could thereafter.

Buying in a down market is a good thing, man. Check it again two to five years from now. Don't follow your gut and bolt when it's down.

What if some unknown distant ancestor of Bill's took $100 from some ancestor of Bob's?
Taking $100 from Bill and giving it to Bob doesn't seems much more like two wrongs than the kind of restitution you're describing.
That's the Male translation. The English translation is more like, "You're not listening to me. Again! Typical."

Simply classic. ...but think of all the bytes he saved!

What is this "floppy" object they describe? ...and, "manuals." What were these things?
You sure that's not from the adjacent cell, "counter-revolutionary activities?"
All depends on the units and the constants man: 2 murders - life. 2 stolen TVs - not so much.
