Ok, excellent art and dialog. But with that rack I wouldn't call her "low charisma" at all. I'll be following this one. Beats the hell out of the same lame Dilbert comics. Thanks for the tip.
The phone company seems to do well with it too. -48VDC everywhere, big room of batteries in the basement. UPS? we don't need no stinkin' UPS, we're running on batteries all the time.
You might have missed the time scale of the OP's topic. NOW drives come in 3 sizes (more or less) but I remember hard drives of all sizes, not just 5 1/4" platters either.
Indian casinos. I see dozens of buses from Canada every day, mostly filled with older Asians. And don't forget the outlet stores! Oddly though, my wife and I took our honeymoon in Victoria.
That's where my mom would but the basset hound for trips, perfect size and shape. Then we would fill the rest of the bug with cub scouts. We'd get about seven in there with the dog, nine without the dog. Oh, and my mom driving.
Note, this was back in the mid 60s when we didn't care about things like seat belts.
Banning the viewing of billboards? Too late. First Lady Lady Bird Johnson got billboards banned on federal interstates. Likely well before you were born.
How things change. In my day we had a teletype and 300 baud modem to a minicomputer 150 miles away, one for the whole school of +2k students. Hell, we didn't even have D&D back then. But the rock and roll was damn good.
How about make a career out of the service? Put your 20 - 30 years in, say, the Air Force and retire with 2/3's pay before you're 50. Then you can figure out what you want to do with your life now that you have your medical and living costs covered. There are times I wish that I had done that. Oh, and you can go your whole Air Force career without using a gun outside of the training range. There are a lot of very interesting jobs there too.
Kundu said national research supports a late start for high school students. A 2005 study published in the medical journal Pediatrics concluded that students have special needs in their sleep cycles and "school schedules are forcing them to lose sleep and to perform academically when they are at their worst."
The break is in the summer so you can get your lazy ass out in the fields and work. See, this fucking-off all summer is kind of a new thing in this old world. Back before the Internet most punks like you would get your sorry ass out of bed at the crack of dawn, go milk the cows, feed the chickens and then, if you got that done in time, you would some breakfast. Don't sit down now, you have to go help your dad and brothers plow the south forty, take a break to eat you packed lunch around noon, then work until the sun goes down, come back in and have supper. Keep doing this until the harvest in in. Then you get to go back to school, after you've miked the cows and feed the chickens.

And in case you haven't seen this one: http://www.userfriendly.org/
Oh, it's an AD&D comic. Then I guess that one would be an improvement.
If you haven't yet, check out Sluggy Freelance: http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/970825
Then, for leaping gods sake, tell us who you work for!

Hate to say it, but that was a damn lame comic.
That's one way to get modded "interesting." But I see what you're saying, and I agree with you line of thought.
Um, yes. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Ressam for the story. I've even been searched at that port of entry.

If we had the monoral, I would say yes. One reason I moved out of the RTA was because of light rail.

Damn! Next time put a spoiler alert on your post.
Might as well go all the way to Vancouver BC then. The Seattle metro area is a LOT bigger that lil' ol' PDX.

What a snotty post!

How about the original home grown tech, ham radio? Simple projects abound and the technician license is easy to teach and pass.

I had to take one high school class three times before I got it right, same teacher too. But I digress, that was back in 1977.

Yeah, I didn't write that last line well. Like you said, after the harvest, you then are grateful for the respite of school in the fall.
Over 10 years on /. without ever hitting preview!

Or a taxi driver with a PhD.
Nothing else is ever presented as an option by anyone.
How did you get through school without an armed forces recruiter hitting you up?

"Summer mentality" my ass!
Now flamebait wasn't called for!
Just because you have a particular possession you won't magically become more attractive to the opposite sex.
A paid for house will.
