Sadly, the spraying shit pays better, has more paid days off and way better benefits. It's through the University of California (basically a state job). It's nice being a programmer at one job (no one knows what IT does) and then being the lowest of the low at another job. But most of the animal care employees ain't too bright, I like the programming job better.
And to the AC post, yup, that's the place, and those are the monkeys. Are monkeys into anal? I just know they like the doggy style position. I guess that does explain the gay monkey pr0n in all the bathrooms. And I just thought the doctors were kinky.
I'm working 2 jobs right now (paying off credit cards/student loans). One as a half-assed programmer, the other cleaning monkey shit at a primate lab. 40 hour week at the monkey lab, standing in a puddle of monkey poo, while shooting hot water through the empty cages.
Hosing poo, trying not to be splashed, while wondering "Is this one of the cages with the SIV poo?" SIV is Simian HIV. Or maybe it'll be a Hepatitis C monkey cage. It won't kill monkeys, but it'll kill humans.
But hey, it's winter so the poo isn't as stinky and there's no flies & mosquitos. I'd much rather freeze my ass off then wonder if I'm getting bitten by an mosquito that's been dining off an infected research monkey.
Last month they did some work on bubonic plague monkeys. I can't wait for the R.A.G.E. monkeys. Then I'll have an excuse for my upcoming killing spree.
Yeah, you're right. It was a bad comparison and it shouldn't have been modded +5. But I think programming the radio isn't right either. That one's too easy. Although if there was a way to get deejays to shut up, then it'd be perfect. I was just annoyed at the "screw everybody else" point of the post I replied to.
The problem is usually that it never occurs to them that things could be better.
That's a good point. That's why I like showing people Mozilla, and setting it up to stop block-ups.
I'm still working with my Mozilla ad-blocker so I can see the ads that I want to see. I like the ads on/. but man do I hate those smiley face ads.
If the average Joe can't figure that things like Avant and Mozilla greatly enhance their web experience then shame on them. They're probably the same people who never bothered to find out that you don't need to keep the same homepage that your ISP gives you.
I used to think like that years ago after high school. The "screw everyone else" thing which was probably an effect of going to a college prep high school (school rule as explained by a Jesuit Brother: no wearing blue jeans because they're a symbol of the working class).
After getting a BA, I took a bunch of automotive mechanic classes at the local junior college which opened my mind to how close minded I was being. Working with people who could barely read/write but where able to engineer and build anything. I'm not saying most of the car geek students were illiterate.
Stuff that's basic for computer geeks, ends up being assumed that since it's easy for you to do, everyone should know how to do it. Try building an engine. There's people who don't know you can turn off the ISP homepage but can build engines in their sleep. But 90% of the time, if you ask them a question about it, they'll be extremely helpful.
I wonder if it works that way with computer geeks... maybe it's 90% of geeks who are helpful and you're just part of the 10% a-hole types.
Gasoline powered engines have been around since 1864. If you can't build an engine after they've been around 140 years, you must be an idiot.
I went to a small private college prep high school and I know that a lot of the class that "read" Slaughterhouse 5 couldn't tell you what happened in Dresden. Most would say "they had it coming". And at University, I'm sure most of the people at Frisco State didn't know what happened at Dresden.
I never said Dresden was genocide, and I do think that the original poster should look up genocide in a dictionary.
It doesn't get talked about in America. Wander around and ask most people what happened in Dresden in WW2. Even on a University, most people won't know what you're talking about.
Hell, you'll get high school students on a test after reading Slaughterhouse 5 who won't know.
Soldier are paid/engaged to kill each other in their nation's name.
You make it seem like most soldier's in most wars aren't forced (drafted) into fighting. Iraq killing Americans is having an effect on the people who joined the Army & the Reserves. The government is offering people $10,000 to stay in. And that's not helping much.
The next movie will be written and directed by Todd Solondz -- the guy who did Happiness.
After that one scares everyone, David Lynch will turn down another offer to do one. He'll make an unwatchable 8 hour movie of Stranger In a Strange Land (I grok midgets). Quentin Tarantino will take over. How do I know? I just read it on The Internet.
The Republicans already changed the Constitution when FDR, a Democrat, was elected 4 times as President. I'm sure now that it would help them, they could pass another Amendment to "fix" that.
A Thomas Paine quote goes good here:
One of the strongest natural proofs of the folly of hereditary right in kings is, that nature disapproves it; otherwise she would not so frequently turn it into ridicule by giving mankind an ass in place of a lion.
Such as an article in a previous post (using the right wing Fox news as a source):
FBI agents investigating two strip club owners in Las Vegas on bribery charges bypassed a grand jury and instead used the Patriot Act to subpoena the financial records of the bar owners as well as several prominent city and county officials.
"reliable and honest" is exactly what SCO is known for. In fact, "reliable and honest" is exactly how my new Nigerian business partners describe themselves.
I reckon it's an arcane law, but I think it's still an option. So instead of Bzzt! you should've titled your post "asterisk".
I've just been to OK City, but I've always wanted to go to Tulsa. Someone told me it was built up mostly in art deco. 10 years of wanting to go to Tulsa... What's wrong with me?
I did a quick google search and it said the Okies would switch to lethal injection if the firing squad was declared unconstitutional. If it is unconstitutional, when did that happen?
I dunno. I got a lifetime of Catholic guilt, so it can't be that boring. Madonna (the singer, not the mom of god) made plenty of money with her Catholicism schtick. Spanish Inquisition, that's always entertaining. Even without the Monty Python references.
Utah does (along with Idaho and Oklahoma). In Utah and Idaho (not sure about Oklahoma), it's an old Mormon thing about the need for blood atonement. Although, it's one of those things that most Mormons don't know/care about.
Like how it wasn't until the 1970s that black people could become God on their own planet when they die. Yes, when die a Mormon and you lived a good life, you become God of your own world. Although, I think that still applies only to men.
If someone reading this is Mormon and you get mad, don't get your special marriage panties in an uproar -- all religions are nutty. LDS is just more recent so it's pretty easier to pick apart.
For my next shot, I'll pick on Catholics for believing they actually eat the body of Christ and drink the blood of Christ. It's not just wine & bread once it's been consecrated. Most Catholics don't think about that, but ask a priest about it.
I've heard stories about tickets for seeing all 3 went for high prices on ebay, but I never checked. Did anyone see how much they went for? Someone told me they sold a pair for $250 in Sacramento.
Although I've never tried to build anything difficult from "The Anarchist's Cookbook", I was always under the impression that most of the info was fake and wouldn't work.
Of course I didn't find out about that until I tried smoking banana peels way back in high school. And is that where I got the drinking nutmeg idea or was that from a William S Burroughs book?
I think the US is getting close to making things like the Anarchist's Cookbook illegal to own anyway. But that's okay, it's all in the name of Patriotism.
Yeah, but who's trying to hack 95/98 anymore? Security through obscurity. I'd write some more, but my box of Captain Crunch has a neat whistle in it and I need to crank call the president.
I dunno. I've been in a Star Trek punk band for pretty danged close to 11 years and we haven't been sued. Although Paramount did sue The Romulans, who weren't a Star Trek band, they just had that name. The Romulans won the lawsuit.
Higher up muckity-mucks on The Next Generation knew about us, but they thought it was funny (at least a producer and a director). One bought me a fifth of Jack Daniels which I drank before a show for 7 kinds of wacky shenanigans. Of course, they weren't lawyers though.
If we ever make it to Finland to play, we'll look these guys up. I think it's funny. Although I also laughed outloud watching the lame-o Master & Commander every time they said "sea men".
I've got a couple friends who delete things at random. Far beyond the teddy bear icon.
I don't know what this is, so that must mean I don't use it, so I'll just delete it. Hey, my computer isn't working. I'll wait until Dave comes over to fix it.
Both of 'em learned after a doing this 2 or 3 times to not do that. Or they just quit asking me about it.

Hey, that's just Tatooine. Man, what a rip-off.

"reliable and honest" is exactly what SCO is known for. In fact, "reliable and honest" is exactly how my new Nigerian business partners describe themselves.
If you read the article, that now includes tires. So start driving on your rims when you're wearing your foil helmet.

Google showed Idaho still has the firing squad.

I'm pretty sure it's Vice City and Carmegeddon. It's nice watching my 5 year old kill cops with his grandfather.
Fuel injectors shouldn't be run dry. That's for all cars built in any year. As I was told by a vintage Porsche mechanic in an automotive school.
