I'm prepared for any BSA audit. I've got a wooden box, which I fill with wet concrete before the auditor arrives on my sailboat. Most of them get the message, few have to be actually trown overboard. Which is sad, because my pet sharks are getting a bit malnourished.
See the trick lays in using reverse psycology: Instead of saying "no honey, I wasn't..." You say, "Yes honey, I'm looking for gangbang porn images and movies!" Then she'll say "No what are you really doing?" And so you solve that issue.
At these power levels, making a small short vaporizes the conductor and so solves the short. (the principle behind self repairing capacitors) Not that I would like to be near it when this happens, but I doubt this would result in an explosion. However if this capacitor would be shorted through something massive and conductive, then lets say you're toast.
You know, people have a model of their world in their heads. They judge what they experience on this model. The thing is in that model the idea of gender specific jobs, intrests, hobbies, etc is still present, although somewhat weaker than previous generations.
If you were born a generation or 2 earlier, your upbring and enviroment would have made it pretty much impossible to reach what have so far, without being an exeptional strong (and stubborn) person. This has changed for a large part, but people's world view tends to lag a bit behind.
You'll probably spend your carrier fighting this, but your (hypotetical) daughter would have it a bit easier and your (hypotetical) grand daugther would have it even easier. Just compare to voting: About a century ago, women couldn't vote. Now does anyone look strange if they seen a woman in line for passing her vote?
I did. My doomsday device's construction got ahead on scheduele. But you'll still have enough time to get on the good side of your deity, or get used to hot enviroments.
I used to have to put up with those costums issues, but I've found a better way:
First you take a plane to Cuba. Rather than going through their costums you enter the toilet before it and squeeze through the little window, climb over the fence, then past the guard dogs, armed guard and finaly the mine field around the airport and head West. At the coast you build a raft from the trees and lower this raft to the ocean. Climb down the cliff and then use the raft to cross the water to the US coast. About half way you'll have to leave this raft behind, otherwise the coast guard will notice you. The last few dozen miles you'll have to swim, preferably under water.
This might seem like a tough job, but it's hundreds of times easier than passing through US costumes.
You insensitive cloth! Last time I met B. Gates he had something else under his trench coat...
I still suffer the consequences of his hard, shaking, wet copy of Windows ME.
Who cares about finding the liar. If something goes wrong in my departement I've got the coffee machine taken out and shot. The sheer terror of the idea of a coffee-less day keeps the workers productive and negative elements under control through mob-justice.
Ofcourse it's necessary to prevent them from hiding replacement coffeemachines or other sources of caffeine. But making that another coffee-machine-death-penalty-offence it's easy to handle.
It's like waiting in front of a traffic light. Except there are no lights, especialy no green ones. And a lot of people can't make up their mind about which direction they'll take after the lights and switch lanes accordenly.
It's not the waiting that's so troublesome about a traffic jam, nor is the fact your boss will be very angry about you being 3 days late for work. It's the seeing other people's weird-car-habbits that's truely painful.
Luckly there are a few ways to make it less painful:
1) Bring your wife. Get her head in your lap. Remember to "read" a map or newspaper at the proper time. Nobody wants to see your face at that particular moment.
2) Bring your kids! Yelling and screaming is very good to get oxygen in your system and the kicking might actually get your lower back pain to disappear. People tend to pay a lot for such a massage.
3) Portable TV! Makes your waiting in the jam a painless affair. Might, ofcourse, make you the cause of the next traffic jam.
4) Laptops! Pass the network cable from car to car and have a mobile LAN-party!
5) Cellphone: Ask the number of other people in the jam and have conversations. Now you can ask what the h*ll he was thinking and discuss why he should stay the f*ck on his lane.
6) music intruments! They call it jammin' right?
7) Mexican wave... with sound!
8) strip poker with car parts! A El Cheapo car with the hood of a ferrari, now wouldn't that rock?
9) Bring candy and beer! Instant party! Would suck if you're picked to be the sober driver. Thought bringing drunk friends home was bad? Think how bringing 12,000 drunk strangers home would be like.
10) Disassemble your car, climb over the fence, down to the street below with as many part as you can carry. repeat as necessary. reassemble the car. Takes some time, but you'll be home quicker anyway.
Hey! I read/. and I'm not a procrastinator. I already finished the sitting-in-a-corner-and-feeling-lonely and the crying-in-the-bed-because-nobody-loves-me. And since it's only 8 in the morning I'm well ahead of sheduele.
In the future children will be kept in a VR-enviroment with all pretty colors and singing animals, all living peacefully next to each other. A world where there is no hunger, pain or fear. A place without the possibility of violence. A true heaven. And when they turn 18 they'll be perfectly prepared to live in the real world. I don't see how this could possibly go wrong.
Exactly. You'll be left at new years eve and be forced to party until new years eve 2007. On second thought, that's not so bad... Oh damn why did I read the article?

"Some contest sponsors provide a check to cover taxes, but that income is also taxable."
Last line from the summary.

No it means he missed a '0'. 5 minutes cures only some forms of stupidity. 50 minutes cures all forms.

Borrow a lot of money of a loanshark and spend it alll on a stripper.

Yes, but did you test it?

We store all fingerprints. We have always been storing all fingerprints.
So close! Actually it's not the plastic toys that kill, it's the fat in the meat that leads to a slow death of the US.
It's not dangerous if you follow this rule of thumb: Don't stand in the path of fast flying objects.

I've done this for years. Just use the Little-Brother-Safety-System and no one important can get hurt. It's not like he needed that left arm anyway.
No shoes? ah! luxury! We didn't had pants. Cold feet is nothing. Snowballs on the other hand.
No problem:

And we call you guys "kaaskoppen". (cheeseheads) But I guess you don't like that either. :-)
So you're saying hunting is wrong because it's too simulare to BDSM?
