  1. I think sometimes it's hard when you peak so young, you don't know what to do next because whatever it is will probably not be as successful.

  2. In an open office setting I often have to go to four floors to find a shitter. Then I have to stand on the seat because I don't want my ass touching it! I hate the open office!

    If the polls don't close until 8, they often publish preliminary results before the polls close.

    I ran into this in college all of the time. During arguments people would assume that because I was white I couldn't understand what it meant to immigrate to the US and would say all sorts of asinine things to me. Then I would call them prejudiced for thinking that a white person couldn't have those experiences, since I immigrated and had to adapt to a new culture and learn a new language. People seemed totally dumbfounded that white people could be immigrants too!

    I double checked by emailing to myself at a gmail account, then clicking the down arrow near the from line and checking to make sure the signature matched. Ever since I have had no issues with people receiving my emails at gmail.

  14. Had the same problem until I started signing my email with DKIM. Suddenly google and friends were accepting it without problems.

    I am not on comcast, so it may not help you.

    Well, I am someone who normally voted conservative. I voted for Obama specifically because I did not like the Executive Branch power grabs of the Bush administration.

    Basically, I believed the Obama's bullshit about an open government and I've never felt so duped.

    I learned my lesson though, I will never vote for a republican or democrat again. They are both assmunches.

    As a consumer I pay for a certain amount of bandwidth. How do I make a choice if I only get that bandwidth when I use certain services and the rules are so complex that I can't figure out when I am not getting what I paid for because the provider sucks, or because I have the wrong one for the services I want.

    Because of the continental climate many of the north central US cities are colder than those in Alaska.

    Were I live in MN for example the average low for January is 3F(-16C), in Embaras MN it is -8F(-22C), the average for Anchorage AK is 8F(-13C).

    In MM when someone says "below zero" it means below 0F. Not sure what it commonly means in the rest of the US though.

    It is also interesting that given the amount already spent they still have 60% of the system to build. They don[t have any way to distribute the funds yet , they made the front end without building the parts that would actually pay for the services.
