How much time do you like to spend time doing things outside of work? A 240 mile-per-day commute will put a big crimp on that, and on TOP of that, you're talking about spending off-hours time with your Perlish Workmates. Got a spouse/SO/kids? Attached to the area you currently live in?
Do you want to "Be Your Job", or "Do Your Job and Be Something Else"?
If you're OK letting your life revolve around your work, including that brutal 4 hours a day in the car, it sounds like you're MOSTLY looking for a sanity check that it's OK to take the Perl job, and it is if you're OK with all the extracurricular sacrifice it entails. Else,.Net, or some option C.
So, the king knows this, and NEVER influences the chalice. The count never reaches the requisite number, and the prisoners are prisoned FOREVER. Mwahahahaha.
No, it's just that the people that rate each game are a self-selected set. Not much incentive to go rate a game you don't like. BGG supports all sorts of correlation of your interests with other people, so to decide if you will like Doom better than Monopoly, say, you see which was prefered from among people who like the same things you do.
As if my three prescription drugs don't cost enough already (and my co-pays continue to increase) I am going to have to subsidize a possible invasion of my privacy as well? Are they going to insure that before I leave that pharmacy counter that the tag's information will be wiped?
The article says the tags are for the big bottles the pharmacy receives, not the amber bottles for the consumers. This doesn't seem to be a consumer rights issue at all, mostly.
It's the same situation in the board game industry. Everyone's played monopoly (which is a lousy game), but who here has even heard of Puerto Rico or Settlers of Catan which are two of the best games on the market now.
I have. But it's a mistake to think that these games are the best for everyone. Playing Puerto Rico to win requires quite a bit of thought, sometimes. That, like some of the more thoughtful video games on the market now, is not necessarily what Joe Public WANTS in a leisure activity. Remember - the MOST popular game in America right now is the Slot Machine, aka "Push the Button"...
Usually, the differences will not be intrasystemic, with some big exceptions like skin and hair - the reason is that early on, cells differentiate into the precursors for the various systems. Each system could have only one or a very few ultimate precursor cells. So, most systems are made up of one DNA-type, if people are like chimeric mice, which I know just a bit more about.
I _am_ a biologist, though this isn't my specialty. The way the body learns to distinguish self from non-self is by defining the set of things that the immune system sees pre- and neo-natally as "self", and all else as "non-self". This means that chimerism should, theoretically, not prompt an immune response.
My vision isn't too bad, and I don't wear glasses except to view presentations at a distance, so take this with a grain of salt. I wouldn't allow any surgical procedure to be done on myself until I knew what the effects were going to be 10, 20, and 50 years down the line. LASIK hasn't been around long enough for me to think it's a reasonable thing for someone to do.
It's not even an issue of timing with respect to the West Coast. Given the geek predilection for spoiler avoidance, spoilers for TV/movies should _always_ be "Read More"d.
The American Way is to Be Your Job. Oftentimes here, you are what you do. This, in general, often means 60+ hour weeks. Obviously, under these circumstances, you shouldn't take a job you don't like.
As unAmerican an idea as it is, you CAN take a job that pays well that you don't necessarily love that allows you to work a 40 hour week. And be perfectly happy.
The problems with a job you don't like come when you spend so high a percentage of your waking time (16 hrs x 7 days = 112 hours awake) doing it that you become your job. Of -course- you need to like something you spend half your waking time dealing with. You can also use a not-so-well-enjoyed job that requires only a third of your waking time to fund the fun you have in your copious free time.

Right, but the BEST best part is that for a few minutes before the story made it to the frontpage, I could have seen it EARLIER by subscribing.
In fact, it's but a matter of time before subscribers can see the dupe before nonsubscribers see the original post...
