My TI-whatever had like 500 bytes of memory, and I could cram so many physics, economics, or statistics formulas into that space. Which begs the question of why I ever had to "memorize" any of that, since now I just look up whatever I need to use.
I would love to call my boss and coworkers idiots to their face and deliberately sabotage them for my own amusement and face no consequences whatsoever.
My office is located out in the suburbs. Some of us live very close and the rest are commuting opposite of rush hour (no traffic!). It works out great. And the floor space is cheaper for the company, too.
I went from 3-4 hours commuting to D.C. every day to a 5 minute drive or a bike ride. It's better than telecommuting.
Propecia is 1/4 a dose of Proscar. Some users of propecia buy proscar and cut it into 4ths because it's cheaper. In my sample size of 1, I can say that I felt neutered, and I was only 30. I can't imagine being on 4x the dose. I also lost a fiancee' during the time, in part because of the low libido. It's a big deal to women. If your doctor is brushing that off, find a new one. Hopefully there's a way to offset the side effect and still have the benefit. Oh, and if you're just a little bit in the mood, some Viagra will do wonders. Doctors will prescribe that stuff recreationally and it can make the wife very happy.
The current treatment (Propecia) restricts testosterone. I tried that and it completely eliminated my sex drive. After 8 months, I stopped, but I swear my drive never come back 100% and my hair fell out anyways. So yeah, going bald sucks but messing with your hormones is much worse.
Calculus is the foundation of SO many different things. Almost every discipline from medicine to engineering to economics requires a foundation in calculus to understand.
Not every student needs to go into engineering or economics. A couple of my high school buddies went into auto body and they live FAR better than I do as a programmer (not to mention they were buying homes and starting families while I was still starving in college).
I'm much more concerned that schools are eliminating vocational electives than not requiring algebra II or calc. There is nothing wrong with being an HVAC tech.
Pushing something off a few years is a good way to dodge the political consequences (Obamacare). Pushing something off that far is just a feel-good act. They can tell their constituents that they eliminated automotive pollution without actually doing anything.
The regional power company is trying to run a high voltage line through my county. Every time they pick a route, people living along the route fight them in court. So they move it and the process starts again. The finalized route now zig-zags through the poorest parts of the county because those people couldn't afford the lawyers.
"Away from large numbers of people" should read "Away from people with money."
So what if you smell like beer. That's not illegal and it's not probable cause for a search.
And nobody gets waved through even if you smell like roses. They still check your license, registration, insurance, and whatever else your state requires. They'll also look around inside your car with a flashlight. Any bulbs out? Even that little one over the license plate that you didn't even know was there? That'll be a ticket.
If you're sober as a priest it's still a search. It is not optional and it is not constitutional. Arguing that it's okay because you've decided to be out in public is B.S. and should not be tolerated.
then you should have bought FOOD at the same time you bought the booze.
Being sober does not exempt you from the checkpoint or the search. Have you ever actually gone through one of these? Do you think there are two lines - one for drunks and one for sober drivers - and you get to choose which line to get in?
Given how absurdly easy it is to obtain a license, reaction times and judgment are clearly not requirements for driving. There are a lot of drivers out there that, stone sober, are worse than most people would be after a six pack.
Most people would have no problem driving after 2 beers. It might even make them more cautious than normal. That's a DUI and carries automatic jail time in my state on the first offense. The same person driving while sleepy would be far more dangerous, but perfectly legal.
Without looking, what is the expiration date on your license plates? Or your drivers license, or safety inspection, or tax sticker, or insurance, or any of the multitude of other things you're required to keep in order? Have you checked all the lights on your car today? That's what they're really after.
Cops in my county will road block in the afternoon on a weekend. They are NOT looking for drunk drivers. They're collecting revenue.
I don't understand why they don't connect property tax and safety inspection into registration renewals, and then do away with all these stickers and checkpoints. It would be more convenient as a resident and impossible to cheat.
County taxes are one of the few taxes I don't mind paying since the benefit is local and clearly visible, and since I drive used cars, my neighbors are stuck with a higher burden.:)
My Netflix enabled HD player had someone else's account in it already (open box sale). You can't add movies through the box, but you can delete them from the queue.:)
In Virginia, checkpoints are directly used to collect taxes. Up until a couple years ago, we had to affix a sticker to the windshield indicating we'd paid our county property taxes. After tax day, roadblocks would show up all over the place looking for expired stickers.
The stickers are gone now, but cops are still roadblocking to look for drivers with in-state licenses and out-of-state plates - a commonly used way to beat the property taxes. The county cops roadblocked outside of my wedding last year to harass all my family and guests. First word out of the cop's mouth when my brother drove up was, "You got a Maryland license to go with those Maryland plates?", like he thought he'd just caught a tax dodger. Asshole.
My theory is that paints have to be made with equal quantities of each color. After consumers buy up the attractive colors, the ugly ones have to go somewhere. Might as well paint schools and government buildings with them. That must be why some military buildings I've seen are painted inside with the same awful yellow as my 3rd grade classroom.
I personally know more relationships where the woman is the abusive partner. The difference is, in those situations the man suffers in silence (guess who always gets the kids, house, child support, and alimony after a separation).
Also, every job I've ever had in my entire life, the boss has been a woman. CEO is irrelevant - there's a lot more bias there than just gender. The person in the corner office has been a woman in every company I've ever worked for without exception.

"Why haven't you returned my calls?"
"I tried, but when I put the phone to my ear, it pressed my tragus over my ear hole and I couldn't hear a thing."
I'm going to use this someday.

Or have him stuffed by a taxidermist.
This is TV. Compared to the Kardashians, they're geniuses.

With over the air down, he should have signed up for cable.
He's probably still on hold with Comcast.
Insightful.

Did the position give you the opportunity to apply that knowledge?

Many states have "Implied Consent" laws. If you're driving then you have automatically consented to a test.
Which is basically like saying that if you've chosen to not sit at home and starve to death, you consent to the search.
Which is effectively removing the consent from the search.
Any politician or judge who agrees with these tactics and who took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the U.S. should be jailed.
That's an entirely different concept, and most likely just a result of the translation.

This happened to me on a new laptop at Best Buy, and as if that wasn't bad enough, they tried to charge me a restocking fee when I returned it!!
