    multitester thing. As I said, it never worked because unlike Omar the Clock-builder, I suck at building things that require solder.

    Now that I look closely, it was a Radio Shack kit, not a Heathkit. But if Micronta was making parts for Radio Shack kits, doesn't it support the possibility that this kid did in fact build his clock the same way I built this old multitester (which doesn't work, by the way)?

    I'm looking at a Heathkit micrometer, and at least the power supply is clearly marked "Micronta".

    So what does a Micronta clock have to do with Heathkit?

    Uh-oh, somebody's not a real nerd.

  7. Two part story on Older Workers Are Better At Adapting To New Technology, Study Finds (cio.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    First is the data: older workers are better at adapting to new technology.

    Second is the guesswork: "Millennials "are used to using tech in their personal lives that's pretty darn good," suggests one Dropbox executive, "and that raises the expectations of what tech can be in their professional lives... So younger people will feel frustration at tools that are not up to snuff."

    "one Dropbox executive"...

    Never spent a second thinking that it might be that older workers are more patient. Or older workers are more focused. I wouldn't be surprised if older workers could also do a better job than "one Dropbox executive".

    That's where the money is. The next step will be prohibiting memories and verbal descriptions of events. So be careful when you describe how the Zika-infected Bulgarian weightlifter crapped his drawers while executing the dead lift. You may be facing a lawsuit.

    Ebert was pretty great. I didn't always agree with him, but he knew movies, movie history, the philosophy and technique of film and was one of a very small number of critics who actually had been involved with making movies.

  22. It's a depressing thought, but after a couple marriages and lots of women, I only have fond feelings for motherhood, not women as a whole.

    It's probably just the luck of the draw. Most of the women I've known have been way better human beings than me. My wife of a few decades is a friggin' saint for having to put up with me. When my daughter was born, I started to mature and mellow, and now that she's left for grad school, I'm almost human myself.

    As far as finding someone you can deal with, sometimes it doesn't happen until after you've given up.

  23. Drug use, alcohol use, smoking is in decline

    Well, there's the problem right there. No wonder millennials aren't having any sex.

    Back in the '80s, there was so much cocaine, quaaludes and reefer that we'd have sex fifteen or twenty times a day. Often with inanimate objects. Back in college, my friends had to pry me off an abstract statue on the quad whom I believed to be my soulmate.

  24. A friend's dad, who was in his late 40s and divorced, told us it was much easier once you hit your 40s if you were single. The pool of women were either divorced (and thus had criteria not based around the little house with a picket fence fantasy), never married and not interested in marriage, or were younger women with a preference for older more financially established man.

    The flip side of that is that I've heard several women in their 30's and 40's complain that most of the men they meet are just looking for "a purse or a nurse".
