Several of my coworkers who lived in the path of eclipse had their cameras mounted on telescopes without solar filters. The best picture they took was Jupiter shining brightly to one side of the eclipse.
The freebie DSL modems that ATT provided weren't very good. Most would conk out after a year or two. When I started working one day a week from home, I bought a business class modem for $200 and spent several hours understanding the new security features. That one lasted seven years.
Back in the 1980's, a local WW2 vet passed away and his relatives found sweating dynamite in attic of a detached garage. Since the bomb squad couldn't get to the dynamite, they set the garage on fire and let the whole thing burn to the ground. The fire department sprayed water on the smoldering foundations.
Who mods this shit up? It offers nothing at all to the story or discussion.
It's a joke. Buy a clue.
And saying he built pipe bombs in school?
Before we had computers in the schools, many boys were interested in blowing up shit. It could be bombs, rockets, engine blocks or frogs. When my father grew in Idaho during the 1940's, he had quarter sticks of dynamite to go fishing with. When I grew up in California during the 1970's , pipe bombs were popular in my neighborhood and my older brother smuggled fireworks across the US-Mexico border. If you buy too much fertilizer today, you're put on a government watch list as a potential terrorist.
What school then and now actually let kids build actually live pipe bombs.
Any school that has a library with a chemistry book on the shelf and/or a poorly supervised chemistry lab. Or any public library that has a copy of "The Anarchist Cookbook" by William Powell. Or, today, the Internet.
I guess they didn't have the foresight to look at job predictions.
I had a roommate who took automotive design on the west coast because he liked cars, leaving him with $25K in student loans and no job prospects. That was in the late 90's. Automotive design might make sense today with Tesla HQ down the street. Fortunately, his wife to be was a career counselor and turned his six years as a grocery clerk into a logistics and warehouse career.
You get caught in your lies and posting as AC pretending to be one of your "troll" to promote yourself in a strange way over and over again.
You forgot the part where I supposedly use 10+ sock puppet accounts to manipulate the firehose so that every published article on Slashdot is favorable for pushing the affiliate links for the same four books that I've ever read in my life.
And changing into a LLC will effect their tax liabilities [...]
Probably not. The Google LLC probably elected to be taxed as a corporation. That would require opening new bank accounts and changing letterheads to the new name. Everything else can stay the same.
Only Slashdot's resident tub-of-lard "bicyclist linebacker with hundreds of pounds of solid muscle on his frame" would consider "bending over to stretch a cable from one computer to another under a desk" to be "hard work."
The old Dell workstations weighed 40 pounds. The newer models weigh less than.
On what do you base this claimed Base Metabolic Rate?
Calculator on the Internet. That was the number it gave me.
I mean, since you've found the foolproof way to drop a pound a week, and it's been 4 weeks?
I didn't found a foolproof way to lose weight. I plateaued out when I bounced back to 360 pounds for a few weeks. Looks like I need animal protein (i.e., hamburger) to lose weight. I'm eating hamburger to lose weight just as I was eating hamburger to gain weight ten years ago. Meh... I hate hamburger.
Seriously, there's no fucking murder case, you're just making up what you consider a wild story about a guy you didn't like at work, and trying to sell it way too hard.
The blog is probably correct since I was double checking my sources when I wrote.

Why would I make up stuff to impress my trolls on Slashdot? You're not going to believe me anyway.
I was doing a PC refresh project that required getting underneath desks to set up the cable for the file transfer between old and new PCs. I had a touch screen smartphone that was getting wonky. Every time I put the smartphone in my back pocket and got underneath the desk, an ass swipe would call my boss. He would hear nothing but me grunting or farting from the hard work. That would happen four or five times a night. I had to leave the smartphone on my cart to prevent the ass swiping from happening.
Now since there is no link to the actual story, who the hell knows what the actual situation is? It may all be total bullshit.
The person supposedly confessed to the crime. The case was dismissed for lack of evidence. A murder weapon and a confession, but no body was ever found to tie the two together. The case was too weak to continue, especially since the murder happened two decades earlier.

Getting a coal stove is probably a good way to get rid of all those coals that Santa keeps leaving every Christmas.
Dumb Americans used their eyes and/or cameras to view the eclipse.
Smart Americans used certified eclipse glasses and/or rental cameras to view the eclipse.

"In July, a kindergarten was evacuated after teachers discovered an unexploded World War Two bomb on a shelf among some toys."
When I was a kid in the 1970's California, we had to build our own pipe bombs.
You are Slashdot's Walter Mitty.
Nope. Try again.

Oh, that explains your weight loss!
That explains why I have the most stupidest trolls following me on Slashdot.

Mmmmmwwwwahahahahahaha!
In my experience, when someone says they're wasted they're referring to being drunk.
People can smoke themselves to oblivion with a Cheech & Chong doobie that they have no clue what is going on around them.

Explains your density.
It explains why I only take up one seat.
Seriously - there is NOTHING in IT that remotely resembles hard physical labor.
How about unboxing 750 PCs and 1,500 monitors, disposing the packing material, deploying the new systems, and recycling the old systems?
Moving 1,000+ new PCs and 2,000+ monitors, and all the old PCs and monitors, on carts for two city blocks in each direction?
Or building out a data center with rows and rows of racks to fill out with equipment?
Or having to move an empty server rack on wheels by yourself because you're a big guy (aka Mr. Muscles) and six skinny guys move the other one?
Or did you think that the IT fairy just pulls all infrastructure technology out of her ass?

Did you select "human" and not "cactus"?
Mineral.
Are you full of shit all the time?
I dropped two pounds this morning. I had to use the plunger. I now weigh 359 pounds.

You fit 28 of the 29.
I fit 1/3 of the items in Real Life. On Slashdot, I nail it perfectly. Shows you how good of a storyteller that I am.
Everything you write here.
You need to be more specific. I wrote 3,000+ comments this year.
