Hmm... Not sure if I want plaques being ablated away from my arterial walls in an uncontrolled, medically unsupervised fashion
It was in eastern Washington state - many of them were spinning over hot, dry recently tilled farmland.
My friend and I were on a road trip, and I asked him to pull over.
I ran into this thing, and it was really weird - the air around it was still, but the dust devil itself was really windy inside!
It took only a second or two to walk in and out of it, but it was an interesting experience.
Guys, the worst way to attempt to initiate a relationship with a woman you're attracted to is by immediately giving her a gift.
It send the wrong message and sets up the wrong expectations.
Just ol' fashioned conversation is the way to go - just say, "hi"
I've always felt that *surety* of punishment was more of a deterrent than *severity* of punishment.
Stiff penalties indeed, but how adroitly will Michigan law enforcement catch and prosecute?
This type of decimal place error is called a "slide" error by accountants.
If she had accidentally gotten the order of the numbers wrong, it would have been a "transposition" error.

Please, let's kill new taxes, and urge all governments to constrain their spending instead.
What a cool guy that last moderator was!

Don't see enough zeros in your life, pal?
Maybe you're the type to swipe alms from a man with an outstretched hand?
Six years ago, it occurred to me that Nano- was going to be a "buzzword prefix" in the same way Cyber-was in the 90s.
I thought of different domain names like nanowars.com, nanotroops.com and the like.
I wish I had registered those names - I checked and they're not available!
1. It's not a choice, you can't help who you're attracted to.
2. Being attracted to a "geek" is logical - being attracted to a "stud" is emotional - guess which side rules women more strongly?
3. A friend of my and I both left the same company, some months apart. (She's a gal, I'm a guy). We were in a general discussion about dating, and I asked her who her fellow gals in Marketing were attracted to (I was fishing). The guys they all wanted were big, stocky, masculine "macho" types. The nerd guys, even the ones I felt were at least OK looking, were NOT on the list...
In the underrated, underappreciated film
Bridges at Toko-Ri:
"Where do we get such men? They leave this ship and they do their job; then they must find this speck, lost somewhere on the sea, and when they have found it they have to land on its pitching deck. Where do we get such men?"
He was really dedicated to science fiction - he died of a stroke at a convention!
My favorite book of his is "A Maze of Stars" in which a sentient starship makes the rounds of all of the known Earth-seeded colonies in the galaxy.
No severance or anything, but it was the kick in the arse I needed to start my consulting business.
Less free time, but much better money, more interesting work, great clients, and the fulfillment of controlling my own financial destiny.
An amazing concept called "fiscal responsibility."
If tax revenues are declining, then trimming waste, fat and unnecessary programs should be priority #1, not soaking folks for more dough.
Remember folks, the more governments take in, the more they spend.
Connecticut instituted an income tax to close "budget gaps" for the first time about ten years ago.
Just a few years later, the budget gaps magically reappeared.

I said, "Doc, I think I have hypochondria"
Doc: "Go on..."
Me: "Well, what are the symptoms?"
Doc: "Anything you want them to be..."

Although it's just adware/spyware is the "recommended hotfix" that shows up in user's Add/Remove Programs.
This probe is going to do a far better job than the "Armageddon" probe they're sending up next year.
It's due to the selfish NIMBY fuckhead community activists that pressure their local officials into not permitting additional cell towers.

They'd sterilize the earth and there'd be no warning.
And I ignore it, I suffer If I act on it, I benefit tremendously. One of my life's projects is to learn to listen to and act on it more often.
