So am I!

Today afternoon I had to do a ton of walking for a really dumb reason.

See, we have our network sensors. They detect malicious traffic coming from the Internet. A week ago, they moved one of the sensors into a new building, and since then we haven't been seeing any traffic from it. This is unusual, because we generally see SQL Slammer at least 30 times/minute.

So we walked over to the building, got let into the server room, and checked the Switch's configuration. We figured it wasn't set to SPAN properly. That checked out.

Next, we thought it was the port itself. We plugged in a laptop, loaded ethereal, and saw about 5000packets/second. So that worked fine.

So maybe it was the cable! We followed it down to the server, plugged in the laptop, and bam, 5000packets/second. Hmm!

So we go to reinstall the software on the server. We hit reboot, and discover that the CMOS battery was dead. What that means is that, when they moved it to the new building, the date got reset to 2001.

As it turns out, the sensor was working fine. It was sending out the data to our console fine. However, since the data was dated 2001, it was putting it all waaaaaaay the hell back in the database, where we'd never see it.

So yay, it's working now! :-)

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: deadly7 on June 18, 2005, 12:57:02 pm

Interesting Friday in general for me, goddamn I had so much fun.

6:15AM - woke up
7:00AM - 8:30AM - lifted weights and moved machines around. Incline is hard, yo. :-\
9:00AM - 3:30PM - went to start building sets. Ran into my Asian Brutha (nickname, of course :P) and this hot dancer chick. Talked with them for like 10-15 minutes then went back upstage to continue building sets. Made friends with these seniors that are extremely hilarious and recite Simpsons quotes a lot, it rocked. Cut myself a few times with wood (there were pieces of wood sticking out from the big 2x4's).
3:30PM - 6:15PM - Ate dinner, chilled with my brother, watched some tv.
6:15PM - 7:00PM - Went biking around a park I live really close to. Ran into a friend of mine (Sarah), and talked to her for about 15 minutes or so. continue biking around meeting some friendse eine random places.
7:00PM - 8:00PM - Played basketball with my brother and his friend. His friend is good as hell, friggin throws it up and it goes right throw, and he's not even looking at the hoop.
8:00PM - 8:30PM - go for a serious bike ride to kill my legs, biked over 3-4 miles before I decided to go home and eat.
10:10PM - 11:55PM - Talk to one of my best female friends and her [extremely hot] cousin online, since I forgot to write down her cousin's number (she lives in Wisconsin). Got into a random argument with my best [male] friend about girlfriends and shit, it was random and spawned out of nowhere.

Oh, here's a question for everyone: Would you rather want to get into a relationship that might actually last, or get into 3 small ones that might last for a couple days?

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Arson on June 18, 2005, 01:39:01 pm

If it's not going to last long, I don't want a relationship at all. But overall, I'd like a steady girlfriend that will be there for a while.

Today:
9:00 - 10:00 Went to Ohlone College. Dad was wondering what happended to his certificate. Directed to the Admissinion's line. Directed to a small room. Directed to the department dean's office. Directed back to Admission's line. I hate the school system.

10:00 - 11:00 Went to go get $399 laptop at Fry's. Out of stock. Went for a lower grade but same priced laptop. 1.2 ghz VIA CPU, 256 MB RAM, 30 gb, No card slots, No wireless card.

11:00 - 12:00 Went home ate lunch, discoved dead pixel.

12:00 - 2:00 Went back to another Fry's. Tech guy found dead pixel. He was hilarious. We waited like forever for the exchange. He talked about a monitor that had dead pixels. Out of the 10 he had in stock 1 of them worked. He had to try 7 of them before getting one without dead pixels. Finally got done with exchanged, saw the old one with one dead pixel get marked down $20.

2:00 - 4:00 Played around with laptop and installed a bunch of stuff.

4:00 - 6:00 Dad found a better laptop for the same price at Micro Center. I uninstalled all I could like a dumbass. Went to return it, got the same tech guy. He was like "And I spent all that time doing paperwork!" Anyways they had to use the system restore discs before restocking it, the guy next to me was complain how it was bullshit, but I'm like... "sure" and thinking "dumbass noob." Anywho, my laptop beat his laptop by like a minute! His was a 1.8 ghz with 40 gb, but I don't give a damn! We WON! So then here I am now without a laptop until my dad comes home :(.

Nah, he was nice. He didn't really care because his job isn't to sell them, it's to fix them. Anywho I don't care about them I got this spiffy new laptop that I'm on right now. And I got a printer too. All of for like $800 with tax and everything. With $150 rebate on laptop and $50 for printer and $100 for credit card. So it drops to like like $500. Or something I don't remember the exact price. But this laptop is like 200x better than the other one. It's an Acer Aspire 3000. Mobile AMD Sempron 2800+ which is the same speed as my desktop. 256 MB Ram. 40 Gig hard drive. 15" Screen. It's amazing! It also has WiFi :D!!!!

That's only if "do nothing" includes the "no eating" diet.

Lies, I've lost about 20 pounds since last summer eating and playing on the computer. :)

I don't think that's something to be proud of...

How so? You lost weight... without exercise... or paying for a dieting program... I think he should be very proud.

I'm pretty sure I already said it, but losing weight is only good if you're overweight and weak. Otherwise, if you lose weight by doing nothing, it probably means you've lose muscle mass.

From what I've seen in his pictures, it doesn't look like he has much he can lose, like you said (somewhat)... So I'd say 20lbs sure is a great deal and he should seriously start going out places (being serious)...

A Bloody Mary, it's a drink that I like. I tried making one and it came out horrible (I think I put too much Vodka, or maybe it was the lack of Tabasco, I don't know.)

So far the only mixed drink that I've made well, and gotten compliments for, is a Pina Colada. This one guy said I make a better one than my mother! :)

You guys suck at life. Like, really really badly.

In other news, so does my (now dead) motherboard. Apparently it was one of the ones with bad capacitors (http://badcaps.net/). They have some pictures of popped caps on the site if you want to see how I figured out the problem... heh. I had a new one overnighted and I tried to get it up and running today and it didn't work. With the new board I've narrowed the problem down to the processor, as even with only the processor and ram in the board nothing comes up on the screen and I don't even get any beep or anything. If I remove the ram I do get a beep -- but if I leave the ram in and take out the processor it behaves exactly as if the processor was there. My dad has my old processor and is bringing it over after work so I'll see if that's the problem then. If anyone has any suggestions in the meantime I'll be glad to hear them.

Tonight's "lesson" was so awesome. First, we met at Marianne's house along with the girls group. Then we sat and talked for around 10 minutes, about my awesome new haircut, and what we should do tonight. Then, we loaded up and headed over to Menards (sp?). Bought 24 rolls of toilet paper, and headed to Pastor Craig's house! Did our thing, and then loaded back up. Marianne, in all her awesomeness, pressed panic instead of unlock, but nobody noticed (except us, that is).

After that, we all headed to McDonalds and got some food (I got a #6, double cheeseburger meal, $4 right to the penny, woo!). Then we headed back to the church, and got there around 7:40. Then we just all loaded up in our cars and stuff and headed out. Of course, me and Jake don't have our licenses, and I had no phone. Seeing as how Marianne is so awesome, she drove both of us home. Jake lives in the city, and was with us for around 2 minutes (we sang Kumbaiah (sp?)), but it took like 15 minutes to get to my house, so we sang "We Are The Reason" (her voice is being really stupid right now, so it was FUNNY) and called Johnathan and talked to him about nothing.

When I was looking @ it the keys were locked in the ignition (it was at a user lot).

Well, I asked my neighbor out to the movies, and got shot down. >:(. Apparently she was "waiting for someone" and was unable to.

I'll get over it. Eventually. (kinda glad, actually, if I had caught a movie I would have been late for practice!)

In other news, I've decided that my calc teacher needs to re-do his curriculum because, quite frankly, the class doesn't cover everything necessary.

In more other news, I'm getting really tired of my ex trying to talk to me. She's an idiot, and anytime she tries to talk to me, I can just feel my IQ dropping.

Finally, I've discovered that Hamlet was, in fact, a vampire.

Post by: dark_drake on May 05, 2006, 09:56:13 pm

Ok, this was a really weird day, at least in my mind.

After third hour, my ex-gf calls one of my friends (Sophie) over. Now, my ex broke up with me because of my friendship with Sophie (all I did was defender her against the ruthless attacks of a few other 'friends'). My ex appears to be very upset. After 4th hour, we have lunch, but rather than sit with her normal group, my ex sits with Sophie who happens to eat with me and all my friends.

Well, while we're all talking about whatever, my ex starts whining and moaning to Sophie about how everyone doesn't talk to her. Thomas doesn't, I don't, Jesse doesn't. All the while I'm thinking, "What the hell should we talk to you about? You have nothing in common with any of us."

Well, 5th hour starts and the day goes about normal until the end of the day. After last period, I leave the school the way I usually do, but this time, my ex is there. She tries to start a conversation, but I just keep walking out.

Anyways, that was that.

Prom!!!! My day is swamped.

It's 1AM.

In 8 hours I have to be at work.
I get off at 1, I have to pick up my flowers.
That puts me home about 2. I need to get the car washed and stuff, unless the rain tonight does a sufficient job.
I have to get ready myself.
I have to pick her up at 4:30.
I have to do pictures at her house, my house.
I have dinner reservations for 6.
Prom starts at 8, I'll be arriving at 8:30.
I have to partake in prom activities.
My friends having a party but I don't know if I'm going to be allowed to go, so my afterprom plans are still iffy.

But gosh darnit I'm excited. After all these days (like 50) of planning, all the money that's been spent, all the stress I've been through...it's finally here. I hope it's good, because I mean...it's so expensive.

Work. We finished setting up for the wedding reception we were doing yesterday and we setup for my ring dance. It looks pretty nice.

We finalized plans for a hotel room after, and after work one of my friends coworkers dropped off the alcohol. I might go to the party (which is going to consist of like 7 people) but I don't plan on drinking anything more than a wine cooler...if that much. Maybe Lauren and I will split one or something.

Then I picked up Lauren's corsage. It wasn't as big as I'd hoped but she's not big either so it will probably fit nicely.

I bowled for like four hours straight last night. A friend and I actually managed to monopolize the bowling time in two lanes even though there were like 5 people trying to bowl. It was all in good fun. We'd run past them or cross into their lane as they were getting ready and say, "Only the worthy can bowl here."

Today at work I put a hole in a divider wall. The wall is hollow apparently and essentially divides one of the banquet rooms from the part where the hallway leads to the kitchen. Anyway, so we go in and we see a wasp on it. We just kinda look at it and I go "who wants to drop kick it?" "you can"

So I do. My friend says just before I do it "I'm gonna laugh if your foot goes through the wall."

Well, guess what? It did. It was funny/shocking. We taped it back up (there was a hole a few inches above it on the other side of the wall too from I don't know when...so that made it easier to tape it up from behind.) Overall it doesn't look that bad and I called and confessed (we had considered blaming it on the group that was in there last night) and she wasn't mad...but then again she hasn't seen it yet.

---

Then we (me + two coworkers/friends) went to Virginia Beach, walked the boardwalk and listened to music (there were multiple concerts going on. we watched Butter (local band I guess) and Teddy Geiger.) We scoped out hot chicks and took pictures.

I was hoping my family was going to Kings Dominion tomorrow because Lauren wanted to come over to spend time together, but apparently they aren't which sucks for me. :(

She wanted to try out my 3 inch memory foam matress topper. She's sat on it for like 2 seconds but that hardly constitutes trying it out. ;)

I had the coolest weekend ever.
Friday night was prom night, which was much fun. We spent the night nice and sober at one friends house while all the retards went to one party at our other friends house and got drunk and the cops showed up. Somehow we expected this with almost 50 people at a tiny house. I spent much time with the woman on saturday, and then sunday I was supposed to go to a concert, but got a call from my friend saying that they were going to a cookout and had to go with them because they were leaving for the concert straight from there. The guys I was going with are my friends in a band, and the cookout turned out to be like all guys from cool local metal bands, it was awesome. So we spent all day sitting around with the guys from screams of eridia, burn in silence, porphyria, and some other bands eating and playing wiffle ball.
From there we went to go see vital remains at this little club in rhode island. It was such an awesome show, I got a stick from tim young, and we hung out with the guys afterwards until like 4 in the morning (the show ended around 2). The guys were wicked cool, we spent most of the time telling dead baby jokes. We then made the hour and a half trek back home blasting exodus and king diamond the whole way. We got back around five thirty and sat around listening to music on the PA they just bought and playing super nintendo. Then I spent the rest of that day with the woman. It was awesome.

They also had one of those 4' deep, 10' diameter, blow up pools they left...w/e

WHOA, tonight was crazy.

Started watching original "The Producers" @ Evan's house, that finished around 1130 & I took the movie back. Met up with Becca & Josh @ East Picacho around 1220am...we decided to check out potential party spots in the Dona Ana mountains...I drove.

We get out to a place we looked at the other day & start driving deeper into this little dug out area, I turn left (in my car) & see a truck...IMMEDIATELY he turns on his truck & starts to leave. I think we saw this guy going down the road when we were getting there, probably, but anyways...he SPED out of there...it was nuts. Once we got back to Dona Ana (the city) it looked like he was following us (we followed him alot of the way until there)...CRAZY

Later, we went down Shalem Colony & along the levee. We saw a truck parked next to the river, same place as we saw the same truck 2 nights ago. We stopped for like 20 seconds with lights pointing @ the truck & then 2 guys (punks, early 20s, long hair & "metal" clothes) came out of the bushes. I THINK we found their smoking spot, but it scared me & I sped out of there...I bet that scared them some.

So, yeah, that's about all that happened tonight...planning that again tomorrow, minus the movie returning! ha

top is the sophmore, amanda, yeah.
she's shy, gorgeous (as you can tell), nice, laid back, also I hear she is "clingy" which I think is something I'd want in a woman (maybe she wont fuck around behind my back that way).
her morals (I guess?) are cool too! moderate politically, believes in god, drinks.....all around pretty much like me so it seems

another (http://photos-494.facebook.com/ip002/v11/53/43/49005503/n49005503_30106494_5651.jpg)(she's on the right)

Post by: Chavo on June 12, 2006, 11:47:00 am

clingy is ok for a little while, but the minute you don't want to spend every day with her its definately a pain in the ass

imo the best solution is not to 'share' friends in that kind of a relationship, that way there is a motive for her to do something without you ;)

Jesus violated the Sabbath and was still considered sinless. If I have premarital sex he'll still love me. Besides, simply having pussy available to me does not mean that I'll take advantage of it.

Bah, they never worked. The one girl I was with for a while was AIM, and the sticky note was total rejection. The girl I asked is somewhat mad at me right now because KC backstabbed me. Stupid 6th grade girls who think their cool. (For any of you perverts out there, KC is the 6th grader, not the other girl).

I don't have Trina's MSN, but I have her brother's. I left her brother a myspace (shut up, now) message telling him to call me. I doubt I'll bring it up though.

Jesus broke the law of resting on the Sabbath by preaching, doing work. The Jewish law stated that you aren't to do any work on the Sabbath at all, just rest. However, he didn't sin for working on the Sabbath, because he was preaching God's word, but he did sin by breaking the law. Of course, I guess it wasn't a sin because it was a stupid law that God didn't like (if he did, why would Jesus have broken it?), but you understand what I mean, right?

I felt awesome the one night that we were talking about the crucifixion of Jesus because when pastor brought up "Why do you think Jesus didn't say anything at his trial?"

Meanwhile, my sister is having her birthday party.

So imagine lying down, knowing you're about to fall asleep..

AND THEN FUCKING 9 SCREAMING GIRLS OF AGE 10 RUNNING AROUND THE HOUSE DANCING TO " MY HUMPS" BY THE BLACK FUCKING PEAS. GO AWYAW FPIOEFJIOSJIOEFjio;f;gfro;gjio;gfjklgfggjlfjkldfjkdflgf

I like staggered over to the stairs.. Looked down at them. They were all too busy screaming and dancing to notice me.

uugggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............. save me

so I walk down and am like: "Yeah, I'm trying to sleep upstairs but my fucking eyelids are vibrating from the bass? "

I don't say fucking of course.

They look at each other, laugh, and start dancing.................................. WTF???????????

UGH NOW THEY ARE PLAYING FUCKING AVRIL LAVIGNE

Dude life sucks completely. I'm trying to find some black metal that Newby sent me that will corrupt their little souls.

For the past few days, I've had to work roughly 2.5 hours from my where I live. As I work for my dad, my brother, my dad, and I all drive out there in one car. Well, we get out to Wamsutter (the place we work), work 8 hours, and come home. Tonight, we drove 1.5 hours home, and it dawns on my dad that he forgot to shut a gate. Wondering if it was critical, he calls the supervisor for the job. It seems that if the gate isn't shut the cows would get in, and my dad refused to ask the supervisor to do it (he's living near Wamsutter atm). We ended up having to turn around and drive 1.5 hours back to Wamsutter to shut the gate. After that, we drove home.

The dumb thing is that the cows would not have walked onto the job site. There was a massive hole in the fence where a gate needed to be for 3 months; they never walked in. :-\

Softball = canceled today because the field was wet. Normally I'd be pissed but I was having fun hurling earlier so I'm not.

Cleaning my room is fun, actually. Organized tons of books. Top shelf contains bible, bible, bible, mormon bible, kids bible (basically the bible in a way they can understand it. Jesus came and gave people food and they thanked him. etc). Children's bible stories, more children's bible stores, another book I can't tell from here, a religious sci-fi, and Holy Blood Holy Grail, which I have no intention of reading anytime soon.

The second shelf includes several general compsci reference books, including Windows 95 for Dummies and DOS for Dummies. I also have the original manuals for Windows 95 and DOS 6.21 Upgrade. On the opposite side I have the language reference for MS FoxPro and MS VB3, the programmer's guide for MSVB3, a MS book about QuickBASIC, a book about basic (basic, not BASIC) programming, VB5 for Dummies, and "The Mac X-Code Book" (on infinite loan from Tory).

Next shelf is two diablo strategy guides (one for each version) and several cases and spindles of CD's.

The next shelf is even more fiction books, notable the Harry Potter series, plus Quidditch Through the Ages and JK Rowling, the wizard behing the magic.

man, I DO feel stupid.
my mom said I would if I went...I went thinking stuff might be different, but I guess I just needed to find out that I was stupid on my own

after my ex being rather arrivating & then seeing her @ a party I decided to go help her (there was & still is nothing I could've done) on her way back home (next town over).
My own ridiculous fault for going over there thinking things might get better/be different(more back to how they were)...learning stuff the hard way is...hard::) go figure.

Well, I went fishing today. The fish weren't biting, and I was getting bored. I just started dicking around and casting wherever I felt. I kept pulling up weeds and more weeds. Finally, after about 10 minutes, I'm reeling in what I think is another crop of fine underwater vegetation, I see a silver glimmer in the water. I keep reeling in and it turns out to be a fish on my line. It start jumping around like a pansy, but it was already less than ten feet away from the canoe. My dad grabs the net and brings it in.

It was such an anti-climatic fight that I wanted to keep it on my lure and see how far I could cast the wimpy underwater creature. My dad, however, didn't think that was a good idea and made me pull the hook out of it's mouth and gently release it back into the lake.

While at my town's festival, a band was playing. They just played a bunch of oldies. Some were good, some sucked hardcore compared to the originals. However, that wasn't the most amazing thing of my evening. While attending the concert, I was able to communicate with a Canadian, and I haven't even taken a class in Canadian. I was even able to verify a few things about how they speak. Also, I learned a few things about Canada.
1) They do, in fact, say "eh." He said it was Canada's version of "huh."
2) They say aboot for about.
3) Our bottled water tastes like their tap water.

My friend and I had work from 4PM-11:15 on Friday night, and from 11:30-5:30 AM we were at a Laser Tag lockin. Then we waited for Starbucks to open until 6AM, then we waited in Starbucks (large plushy chairs) for Golden Corral to open until 7. We ate and left around 7:40, and got back to work (his car was there) around 8. I went to the Starbucks drive through to get something to drop off to my girlfriend on the way home just because I'm nice. When I get there I end up partially falling asleep on her couch and she wakes me up and tells me to go upstairs, so I go upstairs and get in her bed and sleep for like 4.5 hours. Then I had to go to work from 2pm-10pm. When we got there one of our friends whos a coworker was getting off (Well, an hour later) and he said he'd go get us some redbull (the front store of the hotel was out of it). We forgot to tell him and called him later and he was already home, but he still went back to Starbucks instead and got us coffee. Then later my girlfriend being the kind person she is text messaged me and brought both me and my bestfriend Chris (she's friends with him too) Starbucks and Redbull.

I stayed energized almost the entire night and I never had the big crash from sugar/caffeine that I was expecting. :)

Yes. I'm trying to get my LFS system on the internet, and I can't access anything but this webpage. I need tarballs for wireless tools, ndiswrapper, etc.

Oh yes. I managed to get the kernel source code, but I had to burn the tarball directly onto the CD (no filesystem, just raw data to the CD). Which led me to a new way to hide my pornography.... ;).

Are you kidding? I found out how nosy my brother is when I'm not home (whenever that rare occurance occurs) because of all the failed login prompts when I lock the screen. :P

Plus, it's a neat way to store it. I can remove from hard-drive, insert CD, and play it just fine. If he gets it, nothing can occur with it. Unless he gets really smart. It's hiding it in plain sight. Hell, I'll label the CD "PORN" and he won't know what to do with it. He'll stick it in, go "??? this isn't a valid cd" and eject it.

I have no idea what that quote is suppose to prove... Maybe that it was 4:18 my time and I was dead tired..
Honestly, I can't remember what we talked about. Something about deathcoiling hunters and how its *so* not cool to be a pastor's kid and he really shouldn't want to be one.

Hehe, I've actually realized how lucky I am. Such a chill job, not bad pay but the perks are what makes it worth it. Plus, the whole staff knows me, including the maintenance guys, the mexican guys working the grill (free food? hell yes), the hot bartender chicks, the guys working the front desk (huge discounts and chill time in air conditioning? hell yes!), my coworkers, alot of the regular customers.. it's like a huge family.

Man, I need to get laid. Or watch some porn. Heh.

Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love-shyness

Gilmartin had seven criteria for each "love-shy" man he included in his study:
He is male.
He is a virgin.
He is a person who very rarely goes out socially with women.
He is a person without a past history of any emotionally close, meaningful relationships of a romantic and/or sexual nature with any member of the opposite sex.
He is a person who has suffered and is continuing to suffer emotionally because of a lack of meaningful female companionship. In short, he is a person who desperately wishes to have a relationship with a woman, but does not have one because of shyness.
He is a man who becomes extremely anxiety-ridden over so much as the mere thought of asserting himself vis-a-vis a woman in a casual, friendly way. This is the essence of "love-shyness".
He is a man who is strictly heterosexual in his romantic and erotic orientations. In other words, he is a person who is in no way a homosexual.

I meet every. Freaking. Criteria. =P

Except #6. If I am not sexually attracted to a girl, it's easy enough to talk with them.

And moreso down the page it says a love-shy kid has no friends. That's almost true. I mean completely false, but someone is bound to poke fun at me. :(

Oh yeah, lol @

Quote

According to Gilmartin, the love-shy tended to prefer vocal love ballads, Broadway show music, brassy jazz music, easy listening, film soundtracks, and light classical works. A few of them mentioned having a strong liking for country and western. On the other hand, rock music of any kind tended to be strongly disliked by the love-shys.

Simply put, love-shy men prefer anything with rich and beautiful melody; and they dislike anything which is noisy, loud, dissonant, or unmelodic. For most of the love-shys, melody appears to be the most important element in music.

One love-shy men he interviewed insisted, "I like to sing the love ballads of Jerome Kern, Richard Rodgers, Cole Porter, and the like. All they had us sing was religious and patriotic garbage. I hate religious and patriotic music!"

Atheist = jazzy death metal. Does that count? :)

EDIT --

Quote

Other notable attributes

According to Gilmartin, love-shy men:

place great, often disproportionate importance on physical beauty (especially facial beauty)
develop interest in females at an earlier age than usual, particulary in the third to fifth grade range
often only want to have female children
often have a hard time expressing their emotions
are sometimes passive aggressive
often have had a physically difficult birth
have low energy levels; as well as difficulty getting out of bed in the morning
were usually quiet as infants, while non-love-shy men are rarely so
often have tense, nervous, angry and/or two-faced mothers...
often are very serious
are easily upset
are plagued with other psychological limitations as well.

You know it IS possible to talk with a girl and have absolutely no sexual desire for them, because they're ugly/fat/not my type/etc...

Anyway, I get to go to work at normal time. And oww. My penis hurts. So does my chest. Apparently taking 4 ibuprofin = bad. Three didn't do anything to my headache last time, though. :/

Lauren and I went perfume shopping today. (Her bestfriend decided to start wearing the same perfume as Lauren so I decided it was time for a new scent, and she agreed.) She picked out Chanel Chance and Versace Crystal Noir. I liked the Chanel more as it's a more casual scent whereas the Versace is heavier and would be used more for evening use. So, after I dropped Lauren off I went back and got it for her as a surprise ($80 gone.) I'll surprise her with it tomorrow before we go to the movies I guess. I also bought myself a new watch (I ruined my last watch at Sailing camp last summer.)

Lauren's parents are starting to say we spend too much time together, so we're going to cut back some. My best friends girlfriends parents have limited their time to 3 days a week - and we dont want that to happen to us. Her parents also said that I spend too much money on her. (This was after she went to the Outer Banks with me and my family - a few days after her birthday, for which I got her tickets to two concerts, a Vera Bradley purse and matching cosmetic bag.) While we were in Atlantic Beach my mother decided to get her this $130 Lilly Pultizer dress for her birthday (that's the sale price) and I bought her a $50 (on sale) Lilly shirt. This is in addition to me paying for dinner, lunches, etc. Laurens bestfriend complained to her boyfriend (who lives in Florida) about how he needs to be more like me and buy her stuff. I'm glad Lauren isn't like that, although she likes nice things - she doesn't expect me to buy her anything. But nevertheless I'm curious as to how her parents will react to me yet again buying her something.

And I mean I don't really have anything else to spend it on. The only bill I'm required to pay is gas, so most of my money gets spent on gas or eating out or movies. And I enjoy making her happy, and nice things makes her happy. Her father says he feels sorry for whoever has to marry/support her.

haha yeah. They say it's because we're "not married" but I mean maybe it's because she's able to get the things she likes from someone else. She's no longer relying on her parents for them and maybe they feel threatened, since they no longer have "fun fridays" and stuff like that. (When she was little her father would let her go to Toys R' Us and pick out anything in the store on Fridays)

But Lauren tells me I spend too much on her too. But it's not like she's complaining. It'd be different if she expected it, or asked for it - because then I just wouldn't want to spend money on her.

Point is, I need to work with my dad more because my hotel paychecks aren't going to cut it. Because I can get what I make in a week at the hotel in like a day w/ my dad.

Sounds much better. Do some fishing while youre down there~ it should be pretty good right about now.

meh, I havent been fishing in ages (never been on anything except lake or stream either). plus, my friends, fishing, HA!

Taking them backpacking this weekend is going to be funny (and maybe bad)...20% chance of rain! Thunderstorms, it'll be a cool packing trip

Heheh, sounds... fun.

Deep sea fishing > lake fishing IMO.

You could probably hook up with some sort of charter boat thatll take you out for ~5-6 hours and give you rods and stuff. My friend just did a 4 day trip out of Mexico and caught a few 200lb fish and one 300lb bluefin. Sounds badass.

I'd agree, deep sea sounds more fun than lake (I aint old enough for lake fishin yet...too boring heh)

I prefer small stream fishing...I caught my 1st fish up the river a ways from where we're goin saturday.

This is gonna be some of my friends' first time actually camping, itll be awesome since its backpacking in the rain & all ;)!

They know they are breaking the law as well, and to pull you over for it would be hypocritical of them. They must obey the same laws as us. The only difference is that when their sirens are on they have right of way.

Actually, police can speed if they're on the way to a call & they don't have to have on any lights or sirens :( That's whats gay about this

edit:
WHOA! Last night @ Benigan's cute chicks everywhere! Our waitress was very pretty. When we left some hot chick held the door open for us & her friend pointed/touched my friend's shirt (which said "Trouble Finds Me") & said "trouble finds me too". Followed by small talk, thems were cuties.

& the girl my other friend is seeing, her friend, yikes ;)

this is way off topic from what I was talking about, but yet another friend just got back from 6 weeks in Hawaii. He spent $600 total, pfft, I wish I had someone in Hawaii I could stay with for 6weeks

When I was going to Atlantic Beach last week I was going around 70-80 the whole time (speed limit was 55). Well, anyway I noticed a state trooper behind me so I went down to like 50. The driver of the car went by me, looked at us, and according to my girlfriend laughed. Then they just kept going...past me. Eventually I got back up to like 75 and he was still way in front of me. It kind of made me mad.

If I see an officer speeding without his lights on, I usually follow them at about the same speed. What are they going to do? slow down, get behind me, and then pull me over for doing the same thing they were?

they aren't above the law, but they dont have to have their lights on to let people know that they are on call.

10.5.400.8 3d
"When vehicles are being used, the employee will maintain a legal speed. When required to exceed the speed limit, the officer will assure that the emergency lights and siren are on unless the existing circumstances would make this procedure inadvisable."
This is for our statepolice,
...I believe they just judge whenever it may be inadvisable.

My parents were in an accident.

Three cars, they were in the front. A bread truck hit a Hummer which hit my parents. The bread truck got a ticket for following too closely, and he went to the hospital for his leg. My mom had whiplash and my dads knee got jammed under the dash. My sister was fine. The Hummer was the only car without broken glass but its frontend was way messed up. The back window came out of our vehicle and the frame is all messed up and practially totaled, and the tv on the inside fell out and is hanging by wires.

Yeah. I think everyones fine, it was a pretty bad accident. I had trouble getting to them due to all the traffic it caused (it was on a very busy road.)

Well I think it's something that's been going on because when she told her dad about it two days ago I was at her house and she was just like "oh yeah, so and so called and said grandpa had a stroke" and then her dad said something, I forget what it was, but it was about them needing multiple doctors opinions and overall his tone was very unconcerned.

It sucks because my dad already paid the $25 stop payment fee for his check to me (which was $125) and my mom already cancelled all of her checks and her 20 year old account and all of that mess.

It sucks because my dad already paid the $25 stop payment fee for his check to me (which was $125) and my mom already cancelled all of her checks and her 20 year old account and all of that mess.

Does your mom give you blank checks or something? :o

I had a check endorsed by her that she signed over to me to cash, so her checking account was at risk.

I see. I only ask because my friend's mom gives my friend blank checks for emergencies and whatnot. The only problem with this strategy is that he's always misplacing things like his keys and wallet.

They let her keep her old checking rating and all of that, and her checks were free. The only person to lose money was me ($25 stop payment fee on my check from my dad, so I just got $100.)

So friday night we have a "packing party" for going backpacking, right? Right.

I get to Ted's, take off my $180 sunglasses & what happens?...the left arm falls off. WTF!? It just fell off, no ryhme or reason, just did...day before we go backpacking too :( Oh well, at least I had my old glasses still.

So when trying to get Oakley to fix them they said 2-3 weeks...uhm no!? I'm going on a trip in 1 week, I want my good glasses. So today I called Cabelas (where I got the glasses originally) & they suggested I buy a new pair & just return the old broken ones...YAY Cabelas! I love that place. I returned seat covers I had for over 1 year & never used to them...nice.

SO, I just ordered new glasses $181 (including $7 shipping so that it is guarnteed here friday)...I'll be returning my old broken ones after I receive the new ones...maybe I shouldn't've ordered the exact same ones, but OH WELL...I like them.

& YAY Cabelas, again

There's alot of resturaunt/bar configurations around here, such as Boll Weevil, where I've seen underage people working. Considering Newby works at 'Red, White, and Brew', I'd say it's similar. Never eaten at one, but eh.

Dude, absolute fucking coincidence. The hot bartender I saw today ended up going to Red White and Brew!

I smiled at her and she said hi but went back to talking with her friends.

I figure when I go to golf on Thursday I'm gonna comment I saw her.

Btw, she smelled like cigarette smoke. Grosssss++

EDIT -- To clarify the story, since everybody is off-base now, I am taking golf lessons because my dad forced me into them. 7:30-9:30 Tuesday/Thursday. At the end we get free soda, so I drink as much as I can before I head off (about 2-3 cans worth I'd wager). Anyway, the bartender chick gave everyone soda, and then asked what grades we were in. Most of the kids in the lessons are 3rd-4th grade, me and 2 other kids are 10th-11th grade. She seemed intrigued that I was from San Diego (I said I was schooling out of San Diego and was out in Arizona for the summer) and so proceeded to hop up on the ledge where you prepare drinks (like, propped her butt/legs up) and talked with me about what school I was in, favorite part about San Diego, Old Town (eww, she said it's wild there), humidity vs dry heat, how long I'm here for, when I got here, when I leave, do I miss my friends, etc. Then, the 15 year old asked her something about how much she made, and she said $2 an hour. I said that sucks fat ass, I make $4 an hour with more tips than she does. At this point, she ran off to get one of the pro golfers teaching us something to eat from the back, and I took off because I was the last kid there.

So I'm working, and I spot her at the bar half of the restaurant that I work in talking/flirting/whatever with 2 guys. I make eye contact, raise my eyebrows, and smile. This puzzles her, I can tell, she was probably thinking "what the hell....." then realized who I was and I could hear her say "hey" as I walked off with a bus tub full of dirty plates. When I came back, she was gone. Darn. :P

Moral of story: If I could flirt/hit on women as well as I could tell the story of my pathetic life and how I never score, I'da been laid by the 8th grade. And I'd probably be nailing women every other day. >:(

I also found out that Ibuprofin, when taken in large doses (recommended dose: 1, < 6 in 24 hrs; I took 4 at same time), hurts my veins/chest/arms (pulsing hurts), and makes me really slow. It seems to make time slower too.

I guess I can stop that habit before work... :P

On a side note, I kick ass at golf now.

Yeah I got my check yesterday, it was only like $120 but it was cool because I only worked a couple of days (because I was off for a week for vacation.)

I do what Quik said, usually I work about 30 hours a week with the weekdays/Sundays being about 3-5 hour shifts. Then on Saturdays I have the 8 hour or so shifts (4pm - 11pm-12:30am) when we have big banquets. (Like tonight I went in at 4 and got off at 12:30.)

But since Lauren went out of town last week I was working mornings which is 7 hours versus nights which is 4 on weekdays so I amassed some hours (10 more than my friend actually.) My job is so easy too, basically I just sit around and eat. I love it.

I don't stop moving for 6 solid hours, and I make $5.25 an hour. F you. I hate you for making more than me and doing less than me. Please run off and die.

Anyway, I made about $6.20 an hour in tips on Friday. It's sad when my paycheck is smaller than the $ in tips....

Good news is some waitresses wrote a note to my boss about how awesome I did on Friday, and today 2-3 people told me I kick ass and I do an awesome job, blah blah blah, etc.

Same here.

$6.50 an hour, $40/month in gas, 18 hrs a week usually, can take off work pretty much whenever just so long as I ask somewhat in advance.

side note:
I heard it rainning so I openned my door to watch it and it stopped :(. I started to hear a whooshing sound (like wind through pine trees in the forest) coming from the north...I looked north & I just see this intense wall of rain coming towards me, it was cool!

Also, I want to kill my brother. He left this morning to go visit his girlfriend; she lives somewhere near Reno. However, the reason I want to kill him is because for four days I've been telling him that he needed to do his fair share of chores because he left. Well, he didn't do them, so I have a few more hours of chores.

It's funny, I know enough that I could probably make $50/hour+ doing rentacoder projects, but I'm too lazy and it wouldn't be a stable payrate.

Uhh, fifty dollars an hour? You could be making $100,000 a year, and you're too lazy?

I see the problem with this statement. You couldn't make fifty dollars an hour if you sucked dick alongside the project.

Here is where I call bullshit on your statement, and for the following reasons:

You barely know enough Java to write well-coded projects worth the $50/hr.
Nobody wants projects in VB 6.0 anymore, it's called .NET.
None of your other languages are worth even mentioning here.
Rent-a-coder projects aren't standard at $50/hr. If you can find ten worth $50 an hour that are for VB6, DO IT YOU LAZY BAG OF ASS. It's not that it's not a stable payrate, but the project payrates vary (it'll be a stable payrate, just not at $50/hr, or anything close to that).

Hell, I don't think even I could make $50/hr writing projects. I don't think I am worthy of $50/hr. Hell, the last thing I wrote (a Perl script I am still developing, will try to finish tonight) is so sloppy I don't think I would even take payment for it. It gets the job done, but it's awfully written and not worth any amount of money. Sure, my time is valuable, but my time well-spent is what earns money.

God, it seems like I am doing nothing but attacking you. :\

Perl can be written very well, I'm just not very good at writing it well.

And if I make everything 'strict', I'll just basically be re-writing the entire project. Though, at that point I would charge for the end result. :)

Although today she did try to get me to taste some really good ice cream she was having, but since I'm not into sweets I didn't accept. Damnit, I suck ass, and should have anyway. :(

I broke up with Lauren last night.

I went to her house after work and she had just come back from the mall with this friend I really don't like, and she is acting different right? (I thought she had been drinking or something) Well, she's showing me these earrings she got and pulled them out of her purse and after a minute or two I'm like...omg she stole them. Well, I asked her about it and she denied it and got mad at me for accusing her. Then she like gets on top of me (obviously trying to get me to stop thinking about the earrings) and I ask her to just tell me the truth, it's ok if she did...I just want to know the truth. Well, she still lied but then said "why does it bother you" and "how does it affect you" and I pushed her off of me, put on my shoes, and started to leave. Well, she jumps in front of her door, closes it, and won't let me leave. I yell some, threaten to call her dads cell and have him have her open the door so she removes her self and I start to leave and she grabs me and again I remove her from me (she says I pushed her) well then she pushed me twice and yelled at me and I finally left.

Her reasoning: 1) she wanted to see what it would be like and 2) her friend asked her to steal the earrings for her but she said no, so Scarlett said to at least take something for herself. Lauren returned to the stoor 2 times and says she wanted to put the pair of earrings back but didn't want Scarlett to think she was "funky." The made me upset too, damn peer pressure.

Anyway I didn't want to break up with her, but I did. I really don't know where to go from here...but a lie is a lie, and she blatantly lied to me...even after admitting to stealing (she went back to saying no after she said "whys it bother you")

I hope her $3 earrings were worth it. (that was one of her defenses...they were only $3 from Claires)

I told her I wanted her sending money and a letter of apology to the CEO since she wouldn't let me take the earrings back for her. I don't know if she's going to do it or not. She said she would (and was going to send $20) but I don't know now since I broke up with her.

That's like shooting yourself in the foot. A big company loses $3, and they won't even notice, and then you send them a letter apologizing and right-out admitting stealing from them, theft. They can easily forward that to the police and she's immediately proven guilty by her own confession. The apology is nice, because maybe the CEO will shake it off as a stupid kid stunt, but you never know.

It's just earrings which she obviously stole, I wouldn't break up with her over that. If she did steal them then keep prying until she admits and once she does just say that that's not going to fly with you. Wait..they were $20 earrings? Chill bro that's going a little overboard.

It's nice that you expect honesty from her, but you have to let this go. According to what you wrote, you asked her to tell you the truth, and she did, so what you should have then done was talk it over to ensure that she wouldn't do it again. Take her word for it and just move on. You can't break up over every little thing that happens... because she could have done something much worse than this.

(05:02:04) [x86] Joe: The first two letters of Christos (in Greek, not transliterated) are Chi and Rho, Cairo.
(05:02:37) [x86] Joe: And of course, Japan loves Nisan. "Two" and "Three" in Japanese are Ni and San (however you spell them), Nisan.
(05:03:10) [x86] Joe: And the Spaniard version of the buddy system is fours, not twos, and when they encounter quicksand they become Cuatro Cinco.

I envy you. She lied, which means if she'd lie about something this useless who knows what she'd lie about? Other boyfriends?

I would have done the exact same thing as you.

If we had karma, you'd get a much deserved +1.

I had to go to work sick yesterday, which was no fun at all. I'm completely out of energy and missed a staff meeting because of 6 hours of kitchen bussing. Trust me, it may look easy, but 6 hours of the same crap is tiring and energy consuming in the end.

My boss didn't give a shit that I was sick, and the 2 people that could cover for me refused to cover for me. One person's reasoning was "i am a bad kitchen busser."

Well, tough shit for my boss. As of this Tuesday (I get to kitchen bus) I am quitting. I plan to work Friday (since I get tipped) but I refuse to go in the day after, since I hate kitchen bussing and no one wants to help me out. I mean, I have to quit anyway since I am going home in a week or so, but this just pushes the logic of quitting even if I had decided to stay (which I wouldn't). I mean, if I can't get anybody to cover for me when I am not feeling well, what if something important comes up and no one will cover me? I refuse to work with fuckholes.

As much as I hate lying (and I never lied once during the interview, he just forgot to ask if I was staying. I said I moved out here (and 3 months out here is temporarily moving), and I am moving back. He didn't even ask what school I was going to. He just asked if I was a junior.) I think I am gonna say I am moving Saturday, so if he wants me to work Friday I can but there's no way I can work Saturday. I just don't want to work the fucking kitchen on Saturday. :P

And if he gives me shit about "2 week notice", I'll simply state if I knew about it 2 weeks ago I would have told him. In the end, I refuse to work in an establishment with fellow employees who are not willing to cover for me, yet expect me to cover for them.

EDIT -- Turns out my account does not generate interest. Maybe I'll set up a savings account... they waive all monthly fees if you put $300 in it. And you can easily move money from that into a checking account (which my card is linked to) so eh? :)

Post by: trust on August 06, 2006, 06:23:56 pm

Woooo, big news.

I was still mad at Lauren and I finally told my mom about it to make sure I hadn't overreacted. Well, my mom was in a similar situation when she was younger (only her friend stole something but the store STRIP searched them both) and she wanted to tell Lauren that story and what could have happened. I went to Laurens house and asked her mom if she could come over my house for a few minutes (to avoid Lauren saying no) so Lauren had to listen to that. Then I take her home and shes like "I want to go to the mall." Well, we go and she leaves the earrings she stole and the two she bought in the store and leaves. We get back to her house and I tell her that I want her to tell her mom about what she did. She's against it but agrees that it'd be for the best...but she was worried she wouldn't be able to see me anymore. Well, that's not the case. Her mom called me and thanked me for how I handled everything. She told Lauren that she didn't deserve me and that I was on a moral high ground. As of now Lauren has not been punished, but last night her parents went to a birthday party so...

BUT: Lauren's mom told me that Scarlett is never allowed back in their house, nor is Lauren ever allowed at Scarletts. I severely dislike Scarlett so this is good for me. Lauren told me that even though she will eventually miss Scarlett...she decided to not be her friend (not sure how true this is) anymore. Which is good. Scarletts old best friend, Calli (picture posted somewhere), and Scarlett had a big falling out at the start of the school year...and Scarlett basically turned Lauren against her (but now they don't dislike each other since I'm bestfriends with Callis boyfriend and all.) But I explained to Lauren that Scarlett will turn whoever her next bestfriend is against Lauren, and she agreed with me though she said she doesn't WANT to beleive it...but she knows its true.

==================================================

So then at work last night I was working a banquet and I was taking soda over to another building. Well, I got out of the work van and forgot to put it in park and it started rolling forward toward the building, so I reached backed in and attempted to put it in park, well it went into reverse and it backed over my foot. It brought me down and my left leg was pinned under the tire and my right leg scraped along the ground...and my left hip scraped on the undercarriage. I was able to push the brake with my hand though. Well, I continued what I was doing but then it started to hurt. The owner of the hotels son was an EMT and he treated me. I couldn't get in touch with my parents so I went to Laurens house since its really close to my work..and I ended up staying the night. Lauren and I aren't fighting anymore although she acknowledges I won't fully trust her again. I went to the hospital today, although it hurt way bad last night...I was able to walk on it fine today. However, I have a sprain in my lower leg (which is actually where the tire rolled over) and a contusion in my ankle area. Calli made me a whole bunch of brownies.

I also got a new TV for my room (yay no tax weekend) and a Laptop yesterday.

Gee, when I apply to another job, suddenly I find myself having not have worked there and not putting them down as a recommendation. Unless it is in the restaurant business, in which case I'll put it down.

Besides, I only take three slots in the schedule. Two of them can be worked by the guy who works the other 5, and if he can't fill both of them one of the spoiler bussers in the front can take a kitchen shift for a change.

And the one up front pays $50 easy, so anyone that wants $ will take it.

On second thought, I *could* say "I will be back during winter, spring, and summer break, so when I am in town I can call you and take some shifts if you'd like." which would avoid me quitting and I could make some money during break. But odds are that wouldn't fly and he'd just say "I have to fire you" or something, which means I couldn't have the satisfaction of quitting. :(

2 Fridays ago, day before we go backpacking, my $180 sunglasses break (they were a combination of gift certificates) so I called Oakley about getting them fixed, 2-3 weeks. I called Cabelas about exchanging them, 2-3 weeks. BUT, they said I could just order a new pair ($180 charged to my credit card) & then return the old broken ones.
COOL!

I got the new ones saturday & over the weekend I got everything ready to send away the broken ones. Didnt have time monday (with getting ready & all) to send them away so I just left the box & everything in my room.
Today the trash got taken. Guess what was in the trash?...my box with my $180 sunglasses to return :(

Not true. If you address it and place emphasis on how important it is to you in a relationship, then more than likely, if the other person respects you enough, they'll oblige and respect your wishes. Of course, the agreement has to be mutual.

So based on your logic, we are all liars seeing as to how we've all lied at some point in our lives.

The fact is that she told the truth even if it did take some nagging. Her conscience must have been killing her enough, and by Trust actually getting his mom to talk to Lauren, I would think it had an effect on her. From what Trust wrote, it seems like she did take it pretty hard on herself, and she is trying to make amends.

Personally, I respect it more that she is owning up to her mistake(s).

it was somewhat of a small lie...not like she lied to you about sleeping with some other guy. I'm sure its "get over-able" eventually

Have faith in her. If you think so little of her, then every action of hers that you observe will seem like a deceitful one.

I'm not saying it isn't hard to get over.

But if she was scared enough to lie about something that small, and refused to admit it after repeated accusations, just imagine something on a larger scale... she'd never admit it!

Perhaps Trust nipped this problem before it exploded into something worse. That's always a chance. If he hadn't have "punished" her like he did, she may think it was OK to lie and would continue to do so.

I dunno, though.

If she was already hesitant to steal in the first place, chances are she'd be more reluctant to the next time around. Trust did tell us what was going through her mind, so it's safer to not assume and just go by what we know.

Well, I just checked Lauren's MySpace and found this nice reply from Scarlett to a message Lauren sent her telling her that I told Lauren to delete Scarlett from Andre.

Quote

im really glad to know that once "your mom and matt" MADE you delete me off of YOUR myspace that calli is your number one choice to replace me.

i don't think you want to be your friend any more than matt and your mom want you to.

and also, i think you told your mom exactly what you told matt. or if you didn't, matt did. she thinks it was my idea and that i asked you to steal for me which is not true. i don't think its fair that you allow your boyfriend and your family to think im such a abd influence and a thief and that asked you to do it. when you know full well it was your idea.

no wonder everyone you know hates me. im nothing but your scapegoat.

I don't know what to believe. I'm going to wait until Lauren responds before even bringing it up just to see what she says. (Because Lauren changed her MySpace password and doesn't know I have the new one.)

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Newby on August 07, 2006, 10:59:39 pm

You have her password? Even after she changed it?

That's..... awkward. I mean, if I started dating someone, I would not tell them a single password to anything. If they told me, that's great; I don't plan on using their passwords whatsoever. Only in a drastic situation would I. Even then, I'd change it right after.

Keep us updated Trust! You may have caught her in another lie! I hate to say it, but I won't say it until we see how things pan out, because saying it now may make me wrong! ^^

I think this whole situation is funny, considering hes posted that they drink when they are underage, what else would one expect? Not to be an ass Trust but I don't think you exactly have 'moral high ground' considering everything.

Newby: All the cool kids these days are posting MD5 hashes on their predictions, you know so if it comes true you can post the message and we can be like 'Oh! Newby was right!' and if you were wrong you just say you 'lost' the exact message.

Yeah I've had alcohol before, but I'm not a drinker...nor have I ever been drunk.

I have her password because she gave me her old MySpace password for some reason and it happened to be the same one as her email so after she changed her myspace I just requested them to send her her password and got it from her email.

Just dont become overly obsessed with lauren & her stealing stuff man

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: trust on August 08, 2006, 12:15:50 pm

I called her this morning right as she was getting online. She read me Scarlett's message and I was like "...why would she lie to YOU?" and Lauren explained that when they were in the store Scarlett said "I don't have enough money for these earrings" and Lauren said "Well then you could steal them." She says she said it in a joking way, which she probably did and Scarlett thought it was a good idea and actually decided to go through with it. Lauren was thinking outloud on the phone and said she would message her back but that she's not allowed just to tell her that she needs to get her story straight. As of now I beleive Lauren, and even if it was in a less-than-joking way I don't think I'm going to continue harping over it because it was a mistake...people make them. As much as I want a "perfect girlfriend" it's just not a possibility. Stealing and lying are both forgiveable sins too, so if God can forgive her why shouldn't I?

But she was like "I wonder who read this message" and stuff and said how she changed her password. But then she said how Scarlett has all of her passwords so I'm guessing she thinks Scarlett read it. I don't know. I'm not going to admit to anything unless I'm directly asked.

Also, I got the new Verizon LG Chocolate phone yesterday (my contract was up for renewal yesterday and that's the same day the phone was released in stores.) I'll be posting a mini-review later tonight (I'm about to go to Laurens house and then we're going to a concert tonight so I probably won't be home until 10 or 11.)

Oh I don't know if I updated you guys on my injury. I sprained my lower leg and have a contusion in my ankle. I can walk fine and everything - really the only things that are given me pain are the scrapes/cuts I had...the scab formation is a little uncomfortable with the stretching feeling. I also was given a tetanus shot since I was scraped on the ground and stuff...and the nurse said it was going to hurt alot later. It didn't hurt going in or at all during the day. I really really really lucked out.

I don't see where you get off judging her at all. You are on absolutely no moral highground -- purposely going out of your way to snoop into her personal messages, even after she has intentionally changed her password (to diminish the possibility of this happening). And you talk about a breach of trust? By the way, she knows it was you who read the message. Why would Scarlett read her own message? Also, aside from that, Lauren is still lying to you.

So does anyone know what the regulations for lights on the underside of aircraft at night are? There was some sort of plane flying fast overhead just a bit ago that had a single white blinking light. On another night awhile back I observed a similar event with a fast moving plane with a single white blinking light. I suspect they are jet fighters or some other military aircraft because they have that sort of roar but I'm not entirely sure. I also know that F-16s have flown overhead during the day before as well as a squadron of helicopters.

Rule, you're probably right. What's she lying about though?

You've gotten several stories from her that are slightly inconsistent with one another. To be honest, she just sounds too selfish and cowardly to speak the unaltered truth to anyone. (I suppose this does not make her much different than most people though). Further, she's not really accepting responsibility: to one side she says "Scarlett MADE me..", and to the other she says "My mom and Matt MADE me..." In the end the choice (in both cases) is hers. Maybe talk to her about it? If you do though, come clean yourself in regards to reading her personal messages, otherwise you'll be a hypocrite :P. I don't really want to have much of an influence on this situation, I just enjoy analyzing why people behave the way they do and predicting what they will do next.

Golf should be called "MOTHERFUCKER" because it is the most frustrating game I've ever played. I honestly wanted to burn the golf course at one point throughout the day.

Over a round of 9 holes, I got +29 above par total. That's +3 above par on each hole. I think I had a total of 5 good hits today. I couldn't tee off for my life, and anything below an 8 iron was impossible for me to use correctly today.

Of course, but I just made an action to automatically slap it on there into the bottom right corner. It will atleast force someone to do a little work before they send it out which is all thats required. Also in most of the cases that I've seen if its near an edge it will just get cropped off, people can't be assed to clone them out. If you slap it over the actual image you destroy the image and as such its not really worth looking at.

There really isn't a nice solution to the problem of stealing images. Before I hadn't worried about even putting a mark on them but I plan to now because I intend to eventually get my site up and running.

Golf is for sissies.. and white people.

The only reason you people are a notch above niggers is because you invented lacrosse. Other than that you suck.

Last day at work today. Walked out with a $166 paycheck (fuck taxes and fuck $5.25/hr, if I worked in CA I'da made $540 total overall) and I get my tips tomorrow. v00t.

So yeah, in the past 2 days I've spent 4 hours cleaning my truck & I only did a half-assed job:(

Had I done it right I'd have spent another 3ish hours.

I still have another half hour tomorrow of window cleaning after I wash it again (for that I'll be going through a drive thru touchless thing)

If you can actually come into contact with the ball and make it go straight you can do better than I did. I think at one point I got 12 strokes on a par 5 hole, just because I hit the top of the ball and sent it 20-30 yards 4-5 strokes in a row. Finally I said "fuck it", took a 7 iron and whacked it and it curved right, skipping a bunch of the course. Lucky shot. :)

Post by: trust on August 12, 2006, 11:32:19 pm

Ummm, I slice it to the right most of the time, but when I get a solid hit and it goes straight, it's nice.

I don't know my overall score, but I know I had a 56 on the back nine..The par for the course is 70 (35 each nine) so I didnt do too great lol

I leave tomorrow morning to go tour 3 VA schools until Wednesday with my friend.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Newby on August 13, 2006, 12:07:38 am

Slicing right means you're bending your left elbow. Don't. Well, try not to. Keep it straight. :)

And +21 is not bad. Beats my +29, though I know the back 9 holes better than I did the first, so I would have improved drastically. And slicing to the right more often than popping the ball on top is good. Slicing right means aim left. :P

I plan to go golfing more. The hotel I work at also has a hotel (the golf course is now owned by the city though.) Anyway, my friend (the one I'm going on the trip with) works with me at the hotel and also at the golf course...so he gets free golf. So I'm thinking that we'll go play or at least go to the driving range. (I actually though about getting a job there just for free golf.) And my dad plays there alot so I think I might start tagging along.

We made really good time (we left like 30 minutes late but arrived 2 hours earlier than anticipated...yay for no traffic.) Anyway, this "major" city we're in sucks hardcore. I did a search on googlle for a movie theater, it returned 3...1 in the city and 2 in North Carolina. VZNavigator returned a whole bunch on my cell phone, but I'm guessing they were all "nearby" NC ones. We're going to go eat dinner in a little bit and then see Talladega tonight.

Yeah, well I live in civilization - so it was just a big change. Plus the way where I live is set up there's a collection of 7 cities and together they give you everything although my city and Virginia Beach have the most stuff. We're in Troutville now, it sucks too but it's like 10 minutes from Roanoke, VA (we're touring Roanoke tomorrow) and that city is pretty cool. We went to the mall there and it was really nice, and then I bought a DVD player from Best Buy.

Today I confronted Lauren after going to the mall and seeing the Claire's earrings sign..."buy 2 get 1 free" I asked her why she stole a free pair of earrings and she said she didnt know. Then I was like, I bet you stole all 3 didn't you? blahbahblah she got kind of defensive and finally said she only stole 2 but i didn't beleive her. However she insisted and I gave her a huge lecture about her lying to me again after promising she wouldn't. Well, it's 11pm nearly and she called me back after I got off of the phone with her to go to bed and admitted to lying and that she stole all 3 pairs. I don't know what to do.

So I'm stoked for a big breakfast at work right now. Cranberry muffin, jam on toast, bacon, a bowl of fruit, and grapefruit juice (which is not grape juice btw). The food at my house sucks, since my stepsiblings don't like anything that's not bland, white, and unseasoned. It's a miracle when a ripe peach arrives at our house (always my aunt's work, but now she's away for a week!) My stepdad's a good cook but dinner can't last you through the whole day =\.

Oh, and it's my last day at work today. I may work from home later on... don't know. On a different note, I hope to talk to the girl at my school who comes here during lunch. She's always with some older guy, though. She's given me the cold shoulder for the last three days! I figure I'm just too good-looking for her.

Why do you have to keep sharp on English and not any of the other subjects? If students were able to customize their own summer reading then they would take their motivation and fly with it. By customize, I mean be able to read computer books and stuff like that if you wanted to. A lot more learning would be done.

..and from college to college. Though in my experience, I'd agree. Not necessarily because the material is so much harder in university, but because of the way it is presented; in university you're made to do a lot more work "on your own," while in high-school (even in AP classes) things are more "spoonfed" to you.

In high school, I never really needed to do much more than attend class and pay attention in class. In university, it became necessary to do a lot of independent reading.

Good job on being a complete asshole. Seriously.

I'd rather get a 3 and a B in an AP class than have an A in your average run of the norm class. I don't care if it'll screw me out of going to college because I'll have a ~3.5 GPA, I'd rather actually learn something than be stuck in your run-of-the-mill class full of your average retards that don't give a shit about their lives. I don't want to get to know the kid who's gonna bag my groceries or flip my burgers.

And by the way, I got a C in my AP World History class (I didn't pay attention or 'nothin, and my state testing reports show it, lol I think I scored ~45% on post-world war 1 information, and 60% on the industrial revolution category (still got proficient according to state standards, and it was my lowest score)), and I managed to get a 3 on the test. And since 4 of my AP tests this year aren't history related (which I hate) I assume I'll do good/better than I did. :)

And I am sure Calculus and Literature will count for something, as will a foreign language (since I'm required to have one to get out?) and I require an art elective to get out of high school, and making it AP is even better. That leaves two: biology (a science) (and I have AP Chemistry / AP Physics next year) and US History.

I said universally useful for a reason. Most people don't pursue careers where requiring four years of calculus and physics is a necessity. I am not saying that English most likely to lead in a breakthrough in the fundamental understanding in the universe, but I am saying it or some other form of language is required to communicate the steps that led to the breakthrough.

English is required for every field that you can enter, so requiring a high level of competence in the subject is a good idea. Like I said, in the reference frame of the entire education community. Every student needs a solid background in a form of communication... English is obviously the best choice in America.

Good job on being a complete asshole. Seriously.

I'd rather get a 3 and a B in an AP class than have an A in your average run of the norm class. I don't care if it'll screw me out of going to college because I'll have a ~3.5 GPA, I'd rather actually learn something than be stuck in your run-of-the-mill class full of your average retards that don't give a shit about their lives. I don't want to get to know the kid who's gonna bag my groceries or flip my burgers.

And by the way, I got a C in my AP World History class (I didn't pay attention or 'nothin, and my state testing reports show it, lol I think I scored ~45% on post-world war 1 information, and 60% on the industrial revolution category (still got proficient according to state standards, and it was my lowest score)), and I managed to get a 3 on the test. And since 4 of my AP tests this year aren't history related (which I hate) I assume I'll do good/better than I did. :)

And I am sure Calculus and Literature will count for something, as will a foreign language (since I'm required to have one to get out?) and I require an art elective to get out of high school, and making it AP is even better. That leaves two: biology (a science) (and I have AP Chemistry / AP Physics next year) and US History.

Sorry, I didn't mean to come off being super rude but theres a lot of people here who try to sound like they're hot shit because they took AP classes in high school. Like my English class almost half of them took the AP exam, and theres lots of talk about people taking AP chemistry. Yet these people are all in my classes and some of them claim they didn't take the AP exam for the class. Its sorta like good job dumbass(not directed at newby) but I can assure you if they had taken the class and actually learned something they wouldn't pass up the exam or the chance to skip over these classes. So basically its a lot of people taking AP classes because they think it makes them sound smart and then they get a 2 or less on the exam and look like a complete dumbass. I understand that there are exceptions to this like my AP Computer Science class where the teacher didn't actually teach or make us doing any coursework or anything of the sort, but I doubt that is happening in all of these cases.

I am sure an error in a report you submit to your boss with a blatant error like that would probably get you in trouble. It is nice to be skilled in the English language, so you can word your thoughts in a way that can make certain situations appear favorable to you.

I really, really want to shoot a few people in my town. Seriously, the college outreach center is the epitome of incompetence. For some reason or another, my concurrent English transcript was not sent out. I can only pray that my college will allow me to still be in all the classes I signed up for.

The real kicker is the fact that they said that they had sent out my transcript when I called. On a crazy sidenote, the same thing happened to my brother.

I've tried four different sore throat medicines. Strep throat doesn't last this long and nor does tonsilittis (sp?)(atleast I don't think it does). I'm beginning to think something is seriously wrong with my throat. I would go see a doctor but my parents don't have that kind of money and we don't have health insurance.

Whoa, took my 2 uber liberal friends to the band party where we sang the pirate song (similar to this (http://www.uidaho.edu/clubs/womens_rugby/RugbyRoot/rugby/Songs/park.html)). They got slightly disturbed by it and then left shortly after...aw:(
OH well, I got a better chance to talk with the cute girl...before the cops showed up

whoa i suck at reading other pages...

y'all were only together a few days?
yeah, girls suck.

Night before last my friend & his lady broke up (her idea because she didnt want something else to worry about with school & other stuff going on). Last night @ party she was flirting with some other dude. He was ticked so we just drove around town a while, chilled at a park, etc.

anyways, sorry to hear dude. I dont really think that whole 'women mature faster than dudes' is true in alot of cases...just a stupid stereotype

The Apple store opened yesterday in the mall here. I didn't even know about it until today when my friend and I were there to see a movie. Apparently it had like 3000 visitors yesterday. Anyway, we spent a long time in there and it was really cool - I really liked the Macs and my friend and I are going to a intro. workshop there next weekend.

I don't think I'd buy one any time soon, but my plan is to take one to college now that they easily dualboot - so I can have a Windows computer and a Mac with me...in one 'serving' if you will, instead of me having to take 2 laptops. Or maybe I'll get a Mac desktop and use my Windows laptop for class. I think that could create problems with integration though.

"No such thing as high-school love."

What complete bullshit. No offense to you DD, nor am I saying that I was in love, but that's probably one of the most outrageous things I've ever heard. To look at two people in high-school who say they are mutually in love, and say to them, " Sorry guys. You're not in love because it doesn't exist in high-school. " is so fucking stupid.

What is wrong with you guys? :P

Staying in a relationship with someone for a long time doesn't imply true love, and breaking up with a someone doesn't imply that you weren't truly in love with that person.

Romantic love is obviously very vaguely defined, but I think the closest I've ever felt to it was in high school.

Yeah, that fag that raped me who is telling people shit...one of the tuba players asked me about stuff (cause he's heard it to & was in Reno when it happened...) he said we should beat him.

You were forced into having homosexual intercourse? I don't think you told us that part of the story. In any case, I'm sorry to find out about that. Maybe you should go forward to the police? I know it's hard for people in your situation, especially since submissive types tend to be the ones who are coerced into doing "these things." Just try and have a hard skin, and say to yourself, "I won't let it happen again."

Honestly, he did not rape me but has "bragged about raping me" to some people.

Valerie (a french horn player in his section) mentioned to me that Doug (the dude that layed down next to me, put his arm around me, & started kissing the back of my hand) was bragging about raping me. She said he used the word rape.

My ex's friend told me that Doug mentioned *shudders* I have nice soft lips & a large package.

I'm very excited. Today I got a difficult project to work, it has taken me months to get this far and a month to debug the algorithm. The project is to create a breaking wave simulation. At the moment, it is only 2d, but I've been trying to generalize the design so that it is easy to add dimensions. The project was originally for Numerical Analysis II but has sprouted into a research project to make some computations faster ... I haven't got to that part yet, I still have to finish the simulator before I can add the optimizations.
So anyways, I created a pretty important part of the simulator, it does velocity advection ... now I have to add the interface tracking and a few other peices to it before I can simulate breaking waves.

Here is a picture of a 100-level contour plot of the voriticity (at time = 1.8 ) ... how much "whirl" there is to the velocity. In this case its defined as U_y-V_x where U and V are velocity ... they are not cute formulas, they are grids with velocity values (discretized).

(http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/237/desktopfb1.th.png) (http://img178.imageshack.us/my.php?image=desktopfb1.png)

I'll set up my SDF (http://sdf.lonestar.org/) website and link the source here in a bit.

I didn't do this all by myself...my Numerical II professor has helped me out a bit, here is his site:

Once we got back near the dorms Jared mentioned to Christina (girl I'm into) that Val (Christina's roommate) was back from her date. Christina & Friend1 promptly shot off to Christina's dorm room to converse. no hug or bye really.:(

We both really want to buy one but they're so damn expensive (and I currently have my eyes on: Dell Axim, Nintendo Wii, the new iPod shuffle (for running), iPod video, and ipod speakers.) So....although that's going to be spread out some (with the shuffle and pda probably being the first things bought) there really isnt going to be money for a mac (hello grad present?) So the solution was for us to get jobs there....but unfortunately you have to be 18...so he can get one, but I can't. I think I'd be better fit though as he's not anything close to a computer enthusiast...where at least I have experience with programming, hardware, etc. But ehhh..he'll be trained and then i'lluse his employee discount lol.

I have a regular iPod. AFAIK they only make armbands for the iPod nano. The new shuffles are sweet. Have you seen them? They just like...clip right on your clothes. Definitely a simplicty aspect to that. I'd be willing to pay the $80 for it.

wednesday asked her to a movie & she said sure. called back a while later & said she had a play to go to she forgot about. I asked if she wanted to hang after, she said 'of course' & I just said give me a call. she called & efrain, myself, christina, & adrienne walked campus a bit...efrain left (god knows where to). got back to dorms & ted was just leaving (dropped off val, aww) & christina & adrienne shot up to vals room, no goodbye.

when they were leavin bonfire I asked her if she wanted to catch a movie this afternoon she said "sure, whos going"...when i asked if she just wanted to go with me she paused & said she does have her 3 page paper to write. i just said give me a call.
-no call...got a message (myspace) around 530(after josh asked her if she was going with me, which freaked me out...oye josh being pushy) sayin she had too much homework.

mixed signals between her sounding excited about the first movie, and the not at all for the second movie asking.

So as I'm sure a few of you know...my dad works for Ford here in Virginia at the plant. Well, they're closing the plan a year earlier than expected (actually like a year and a half)...spring of next year. This is particularly devastating because his job was very well paying and I've always....had stuff just kind of given to me. My mom was able to work 3 hours a day just for extra spending money for trips to the hair stylist and such. Well, after the car accident a couple of months ago my dad hasn't been able to work (he's went once - the day before they had the plant shut down for however many weeks it is) and of course disability checks are not that great. Pretty much we're waiting for the lawsuit to finish going through (but that won't be for awhile..lost wages/pain and suffering/etc.) and if my uncle dies he's left everything to my stepdad (which consists of his house and his truck basically.) So my parents have been just in fowl moods and arguing allot recently because of this (my college education was invested in Ford...and now that Ford stock is worth nothing, I guess my grandparents will be paying for my college? I don't know. I'm not sure how financial aid will work out, since I have to list the previous years taxes which will prove to be quite good. Everythign has changed for me pretty quickly, since it's actually now more difficult to buy groceries, pay for my sisters private school, etc. etc. and my job is now paying for stuff like clothes instead of just eating out and lacrosse equipment.

Anyway, my dads going to apply for the transfer to the Detroit plant, and if he gets it will be moving up there with some friends and living in an apartment until the end of the school year and then I guess we'll move up there...then I'll be off to college. The suburb we'd be living in was rated like the #1 place to raise a family, it's Ann Arbor where the U of MI is located. The houses there are like less than or equal to the value of mine, and they're 2+ times the size, accompanied with like 1.5 acres of land. After seeing him looking at them online...this is like the only time I've liked the idea of them moving up there/not been pissed about him losing his job and spending his time on disability sitting home playing online poker and getting mad at me for stuff.

Except there's no sailing in Detroit. :(

I'm not sure why I decided to post this..it was just on my mind.

My chem professor is really diappointed in the class, and he has a right to be. He shows us exactly what will be on the quizzes, and still over half the people fail them. He doesn't just randomly decide to throw in stuff we haven't done yet. Every single problem he gives us is either exactly like what we do for examples or slight expansions of the subject. For example, we had to derive the temperature conversion equation from Celsius to Fahrenheit for an example. On the quiz, he gave us an imaginary scale, and we had to derive the conversion equation again. Nothing new, just an expansion and people still missed it.

It annoys me when people complain about the pace of the class (saying it's too slow) and then fail the quizzes. If it was too slow, one could make the assumption that the whiner would know the material frontwards and backwards, but they don't. I guess I just think it's wrong to say the class is too simple and then fail it.

But as far as college money goes, the fafsa thing can get you money (you only need to show the LAST year's tax return) & I'm sure there are alot of local scholarships. My friend gets HELLA money for going to school just because he applies to things that no one else does, its worked awesome too (he makes mad money on top of tuition)

You all suck. My parents are divorced and I live with my mother and my sister right now. My mom had been doing real estate for years, but the market in MA is shit and she isn't getting any work there, her part time job taking care of a rich elderly lady fell through last year when she died (cancer), and she is now technically unemployed, although she bartends on the side at a friends bar. My dad, on the other hand, has a steady job and has worked at the same place for almost 20 years. You think that would be great, but he never graduated high school (he dropped out to join the army, which was his dream as a kid, and got denied for not having a diploma... I never said he was smart). He makes shit and now that he is living with his fiance he can barely afford to pay child support on top of his bills there. Between child support, the money bartending, and unemployment, my mom still couldn't pay all of the bills on time. A few weeks ago, unemployment cut my mom off because someone reported her as having a job at a gas station in some town she had never heard of. Between that and her not getting any hours at the bar that week we were left with zero income for almost two weeks until she finally got a hearing and they paid her the money back from the time she was cut off. Finally, last week, my mom had an interview with the regional manager at some store that my aunt is a manager at and because of my aunts recommendation and experience she had before all this she has a really good chance at getting a mangement position at the store and we might have money for more than just trying to live for once. She got her last unemployment check this week, so if she doesn't get the job we're fucked. So you can all eat my balls.

Nah, the only reason we haven't been forced to move into a smaller house now that my dad/brother are gone is that my grandmother owns it which keeps the rent cheap... no way we could move across the country. Real estate has way too much of a startup cost anyways, you have to take all kinds of classes (every year), pay fees for liscences, legal liability, all the software and stuff that they use (MLA which is like, all of the listings, and some other werid programs)... it's nuts, way more than you would expect. The only reason my mom was doing well for a while was she started before the divorce when money wasn't (as much of) a problem and made a good name for herself quickly, then the market here tanked.

Hitmen: I hope everything turns out ok for you.

CrAz3D: Yeah, that's why I was against this whole thing....I was like...omg DETROIT? What's in detroit? Crime and Eminem and smog.

Um, and I'm not rich...or even upper middle class. My dad had a nice paying job doing blue collar work, he was lucky I guess. My parents just made sacrifices so I could have nice things and my sister could go to private school and stuff like that. For instance, my dad drives my moms old van from 1993...which works out I guess because it's essentially a work van and he does alot of side jobs and stuff...or at least did pre-injury.

But yea, hopefully FAFSA is good to me...and my grandmother promised me when I was younger that she would fill in any financial gaps I have when it comes to paying for college....so hopefully she'll hold true to that.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!

FAFSA can also be obnoxious if you have a bank account.

I spose it makes sense in the long run, but when I filled out mine I received NO help because of my bank account...which I'd rather let grow & use for law school later, but oh well

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Chavo on September 19, 2006, 12:43:21 am

To determine if you will receive money from FAFSA, please apply the following test:

1. Are you a white male under the age of 26?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, expect the government to give you $0 in scholarships. Have a nice life.

That said, you CAN get loans and other scholarships from the university. Doing fafsa helps get those, but if you are a white, male, traditional stundent, you get reamed.

Other things that hurt: both of your parents having jobs, medical expenses (they dont factor them in), not being married, not being a first-generation college student, having money or property in your own name, having a job. Basically, you get fucked. I get zilch but loans from fafsa and my parents can't afford to help me with college either (I'm not bitching, just giving an example of how much fafsa reams us 'non-minority' males).

Anyways, I tutor with this other chick, which has like seriously every single interest that I do.. So friday I say, " hey, you wanted to see Little Miss Sunshine, right? (she had told me prior at some point..) wanna see it sometime tonight or over the weekend? " *insert long and nice version of "busy"* okay, next week sometime then? "yeah for sure"

Then I asked her today during that period and found out she's seeing someone else. I lol'd. She lol'd.. Still friends with her. I'm just glad it didn't get to be something really awkward. And that she was honest.

Also, dont visit Detroit...ever. Ranked with the higest crime rating of the country I think.

And, Detroit is loaded with arabs. Most in the country.

I live in the metropolitan area of Detroit. Ann Arbor is a great place. I visit there all the time because my cousin goes to college and lives there. I would move to Ann Arbor in an instant if I ever had the chance to.

And, no, Detroit, specifically is not filled with arabs. Dearborn, which is a city in Detroit metro is filled with arabs.

Michigan = #1 arab state. Also, my city being filled with them, I hear alot about them going to Detroit to visit their "cousins." Maybe they just suck at life and don't understand that other places in Michigan != Detroit.

lol

Yep, Michigan is #1 arab state, but the MAJORITY of them live in Dearborn.

I'm having incredible woman problems. My friend sat down and talked to me for like an hour today.

This is after last night when after work my friend and I went by Lauren's house for her dads birthday party (at like 10:30) well I left at 12:45 and Chris didn't leave until 1:45 or so. The whole time they were talking about how I just pretty much suck I guess.

I honestly don't think I have any romantic feelings for her, and I've felt that way pretty much since she stole that stuff. I just don't want to end it because I don't want to hurt her...but according to Chris I'm already doing that. (She liked cried and cried while talking to him after I left.)

Hmm, don't be so hung over on the stealing incident. From what you said in a previous post, it was that incident that pretty much turned everything off for you.

The thing is, you can't forcibly have feelings for someone; it spells out chaos once you get a little into further into the relationship. In doing so, the other person becomes more attached to you, making the breakup much more difficult to cope with in the long-run.

Well today was the blood drive at school, I gave 2 pints.

Then I took Lauren home (to get a dress my mom bought her for her birthday that was like $150 so that she could return it next time we go to the OBX). Laurens dad said it'd be rude for her to like...demand I take it and I don't care if she keeps it (though it hasn't been worn).Anyway, one thing led to another and I kissed her and other stuff happened. I've now gone from being single to in a very complicated pseudo-relationship.

We didn't have sex.

Oh, and tonight was interesting. After work Chris and I went to Denny's (this was at about 11:15 PM) we had this cute waitress Ivey, who we messed around with some. Well, we stayed around and ate and started playing the sugar packet game hoping she'd notice. She sat down and asked us how to play and stuff. I asked her if she wanted to play and she said she was going on break in 5 minutes and if we wanted we could pay and follow her outside (this was about 12:30.) Well, we did. We walked with her and this other guy who works there but was off to 7-11, then back. Then ivey, chris, and i went out behind Denny's and these 3 guys came around..they knew Ivey and had been in the restraunt. We thought we were going to get mugged or something but they were pretty cool even though the guys kept talking about pot and how one was in jail for 2 weeks and how one time one of them called a guy a crackhead and he started coming toward them and the one guy was trying to get his gun from under the seat. Chris and I knew the situation was awkward, especially when we kept seeing cops and stuff drive by (but I think they were just patrolling the hotels nextdoor.) Anyway, we finally left but it was definitely a pretty memorable night. We weren't sure what to do when she asked us to follow her outside...we didn't know what was going to happen but ehh. Oh well, she was nice to us (but I guess not everyone, she let us know how these black ladies who were in there had some additives in their cocoa.)

And also at work there was this drunk philipinio lady who kept saying how good looking I was and she wanted to know how old I was and basically wanted to have sex with me. I'm just that damn good, 3 girls in a day beatch.

You put sugar packets in descending rows and you're allowed to take as many packets from one row as you want. You take turns doing this until there is only one packet left. The object is to leave your opponent with the last lone packet.

They do have sugar on the tables up there, don't they?

Ugh. I went to exchange the tie I bought to meet Laura Bush. (The little string in the bac unravelled a little bit, and the tie was $65 so that was not something I wanted to live with...since I only wore it once. So I went in and did that and started looking at the Vineyard Vines catalog because I wanted one of the sailboat ties anyway...I had only put like 20 cents in the meter since I hadn't planned on being in there very long. Well, I was wrong. I got slapped with a $15 parking ticket. I was mad (though I did order the tie lol) and went by my moms work so she could write a check. I ended up alphabetizing a stack of contracts for her so now I don't have to pay her back, but man was I pretty upset that I got a parking ticket (and I had only gone over probably 5 or 10 minutes.) I really regret being cheap and not putting more change in at first.

This is the tie though:

The Vineyard Vines Stars and Stripes tie is nice.

Link (http://www.vineyardvines.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/products.detail/categoryID/0c5d1863-36f8-4172-abd4-0aac0f660802/productID/957df664-983d-4733-a2a6-da3f6ef88739/)

I'm guessing this is for your political endeavors, so that red one would be really nice. (I have it.)

You could also get the little GOP Elephant (http://www.vineyardvines.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/products.detail/categoryID/0c5d1863-36f8-4172-abd4-0aac0f660802/productID/4d7957ef-9222-492e-b9d7-9aa0dbd9c948/)

Then again, $65 in my opinion is expensive for a tie, but I like ties and I plan on keeping and wearing them for a long time so I'm willing to pay that, and afaik the ones I said are handmade in America which is a plus. Plus they're professional and fun at the same time, and not too common.

Edit: Oh, and suprisingly enough T.J. Maxx if you have one near you (or a simple type of overstocked store) has some really nice ties sometimes. I've heard of finding Brooks Brothers there as well as the usual stock of Tommy Hilfiger, Nautica, I have a nice DKNY tie from there that I really like too. They have dress shirts too (Tommy, Nautica, Ralph Lauren, and I think some of the Trump collection.)

Wow, today was pretty darn good. I got some stuff from Hampden-Sydney College, which I applied Early Decision to. Note that I won't know if I was accepted until mid-December, and the deadline is November 15th. Well, anyway, they sent my parents a financial aid packet of information and they sent me some stuff consisting of: a letter from the dean thanking me for my interest, she wrote a little note at the bottom of the one to my parents that said "We are so pleased with Matthew's interest." The underlined part was underlined in red. Then on the letter to me she also wrote a note on the bottom and part of the back, which read:

Quote

"Matthew, thank you for submitting such a well done essay about the influence that President Bush has had on your life. You have a depth of understanding that is rare for your age. All good wishes as you continue your senior year at Granby!"

They also sent me a poster, which can be seen here (http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/9586/hsc001mediumfg5.jpg), along with two Sydney stickers I already had (the one with their Latin motto and the HSC oval, and you can se my Laura Bush autograph.)

And, what really interests me is: They sent me an academic course selection book. Not just a book of majors, an actual course book. Why would they send me one of those if they weren't seriously considering accepting me? I'm going to write her letter thinking her for her kind words and such. I'm really excited, I think this looks really good for me.

From what I know, the largest barrier to going to Hampden-Sydney is financial, not academic: it's academically more difficult to get into state schools like UVa. Since you probably exceed the rather low academic requirements, HS will continuously flatter both you and your parents for money -- before you go there (in hope of receiving your future tuition payments), while you're attending, and after you've graduated. Of course they will only directly ask for money in the latter two situations.

And yes, you'll get in; I'm 95% sure.

Yes! Today was the Model UN country assignments!

We have China, Mexico, and Kenya. I'm so excited about China, it's the first time we've had a big country...and guess what else? We have China on the Security Council. I was so happy when I found that out. I'm the only person who has been in the club all four years so I've been waiting for it for a long time...and I got first pick so you better believe I grabbed that up. It's also a single delegation so that'll be sweet. I've always had problems with my MUN partners so I'm pretty happy. Also, in AP Comparative Government and Politics one of the countries is China so I'll know alot about it and my goal is to win some awards.

From what I remember of AP Comparative Government and Politics (more than 5 years ago), most of what we supposedly know about the Chinese government is merely based on rumours and educated guesses: basically no details about the inner-workings of their government have been officially and publicly disclosed; one way of describing their system was "glasnost without perestroika."

hotel party, I pretty much was trashed and I don't remember alot of it. I was on the phone with my girlfriend the entire time and she talked to almost everyone there and she was able to give me an account of what happened. I called one of my bestfriends "pussy, bitch, and dick" alot and I kept hitting him and accusing him of having an affair with my girlfriend. I layed my head down on some girls ass who I just met, I told her to show me her titties, I threw up outside next to my car and kind of just didn't care, I remember not remembering what happened a minute beforehand, I also broke the sink in the hotel (I sat on it and fell forward slightly (the paint around it crakced or something I don't know. I'll probably have to pay for that.)

I went to bed at 2:30, got up at 5:30..have been up since then (it's 11:37pm) and I didn't have a hangover.
I am tired though. This was my first time being completely drunk.

If I hadn't drank what I drank at the rate I drank it it would have been a much better experience for everyone. The thing where I couldn't remember what was going on a minute beforehand kind of sucked because it was like I was going in and out of like...reality. And after I guess it started wearing off some I thought I had gone to sleep for like 2 hours but I had been up the whole time. I did end up sleeping in bed with this girl Lauren (the one who I asked to show her titties)....and Chris. What's good is my girlfriend didn't get mad at me for this.

Ok.... but you have to send me a stamp and a self-addressed envelope so I can send you $1. Also, there will be a $1.00 fee for me to actually stick it into the mailbox. PM me if you need my contact information. ::)

ommggg at this banquet tonight for this thing for foster kids (they're at the hotel all weekend) this one girl was so damn fine. I wanted to have sex with her so badly, they had to keep repremanding her for dancing too provacatively. It was good, I thought about pursuing her but when she walked by me to leave to go back to her room (I guess) she didn't look at me. So either she was intentionally avoiding looking at me, she was weirded out because I stood there and stared at her for like 2 hours, or because she just didn't like me. Or a combination.

Yeah son. We just beat our big time rival 16-15 in the last football game of the season. Our team sucks, it's our second win of the season (the other one being homecoming...it's awesome we won our two big games) but our rival is really good. The game was great. But I expected a loss and sat with my lacrosse friends on the other teams side (cause I lax it up at that school) so when my school won I had to hold back the cheers. It's pretty sweet though as everyone expected a big time blowout.

I spent yesterday up at Hampden-Sydney college. It's the college I want to go to. The rumors of it being an all male school but coed on the weekend are definitely true, there were so many hot girls there it was surreal. I wanted to stay the night so I could party (and my mom said she was fine with me staying the night if there was "something I wanted to do") but my friend who goes there was having a girl stay the night so that didn't leave room for me. :(

P.S. Natty Light is the most disgusting drink ever.

Because I went into this guys dorm (friend of my friend) and he's like "want a beer?" "Sure" and he tossed me it. I wanted to throw it away after the first sip but I didn't want to be rude/wasteful.I thanked him for it later when we were walking back to the football game and he was like "no problem. you can have another if you want." Pssh. Yeah right. BTW, Sydney won 46-21 against the rival school Randolph-Macon.

-She was upset we didnt talk so I started talkin to her & then she started blowing me off.
-The only shit I talk is true, and I don't go out lookin to tell people she's a bad person...I've just talked with friends about stuff that's happened. Other people talk shit (seriously, alot of people talk crap about her)

I think you're entertaining this a bit too much... You should let it go and accept everything that happened for what it is. You have to dispense with any feelings of hostility or bitterness, and treat her as you did before the relationship happened.

I know it's a lot easier said than done, but when accomplished, you'll feel light-hearted in every sense possible.

I agree. Holding grudges is painful and time consuming.

However, the process of coping is generally pretty clearly defined. Skipping any step generally leads to a rocky or unstable relationship. Sometimes it's better to remove a person from your life than to attempt to keep them in it -- for you and the other person.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: CrAz3D on November 13, 2006, 02:50:04 pm

I agree with y'all too.

I do miss her, but have realized/accepted its over. Most stuff just keeps coming back because she gets upset re:something & sends me a text @ some unGodly early hour & then I have to restart myself all over.
Its also hard when I see her everyday in class ... tsk.

As far as getting rid of my bitterness, eventually, its lesening. Also, I didnt know her before our relationship. We met Sunday morning & were going out by Friday morning. Lasted 9 months (last 2 were rocky).

Over the semester I've been using a yo yo as a stress reliever while doing difficult homework and assignments. The one I have is a fixed axle modified design (this means, its a cross between imperial and butterfly) and its only useful for throwing and catching ... it does not sleep. I've got pretty good at it ... I can even throw the yo yo, up, down, and horizontally. Last week I decided to get a real trick yoyo and ordered a Spintastics Tornado 2 which has a modified design and a ball bearing for sleeping. Anyways, I just got it today and I am so excited. It's so mesmerizing to play with ... I learned how to do rock the cradle ... maybe next semester with more frustration I will be a master at most of the tricks.

So I've been working four weeks now.. and no paycheck yet. I talked to the manager and the Kroger Headquarters apparently messed up. He gave me a cash advance, meaning, instead of a check, I get actual cash. So, when I do get a paycheck [two weeks from now], he's going to minus how much I got from the check. He did a rough estimate of 40 hours x 6.50, which equals 260. Because of taxes, I got roughly $171. I never expected taxes to be so freaking much.

Anyways, I'm still happy. I've never held a $100 bill before. :D

No, I had a choice while filling out my application of whether to: receive more money now and less during tax returns or receive less money now and more during tax returns. Of course, I chose more money now. ;)

I'm pretty sure every American knows what black friday is. Maybe not by that name, but they'll recognize the day after Thanksgiving as being when all of the hot items they have surpluses of go on drastic sales. I'm camping out with my friend so he can get a camera. I don't know if I'm going to get anything yet.

On my taxes I did it where I get more money now too, and on my paycheck I only have ever paid social security and medicare. No other taxes, so thus I usually only have like $20 taken out. I don't know if this is an error on my part, my companies part, the IRS, or none at all. My mom said it's fine and that she has people at her work who have taxes like that and the worst that can happen is that I'll have to pay the difference in the Spring. No big.

Is that for 1 or 2 weeks? For two weeks that is a really small check, you should ask for some more hours.

Oh, I see. I'm thinking of setting up a wireless network in my house. I'm also wanting to buy myself a camera :P.

Huh, that's odd. I have to pay medicare (side question: with medicare, they only pay for when I get hurt on the job? They don't pay for things like regular doctor appointments, dental, or eye care?), Union (side question: what are the benefits of being in the Union anyway?), social security, and income taxes.

The majority of the reason I wanted to get a job was for hangout money. I constantly ask my parents for money and I feel bad. If I work too much, I won't ever have time to hangout. These past weeks, I've been working all day Saturday [9 hour shifts; my employer apparently doesn't abide by the minor laws] and Sundays. I already feel like I'm wasting my life away.
This is for three weeks. But remember, I probably worked 40-50ish hours, but he wasn't entirely sure about how much I worked, so I told him 40 hours. I didn't want to tell him too many hours, then when I do get a paycheck, I'd have to pay him money.

Medicare doesn't go to you, unless you're over 65 anyway. If you get hurt on the job that'd be workers compensation. I don't know what benefits kroger has.

Unions suck, they're just ways for liberals to get more money out of hardworking people. They were good 100 years ago, but I don't see a point now. They're supposed to fight for better workign conditions and wages and stuff.

Some don't have that option. While it's true to do your best and stay young at heart learning to realize you'll be working the rest of your life will be inevitable. I had to learn early about managing personal finances and as well as most of you know medical problems. Whilst it hasn't made me feel bitter towards what I do it leaves me feeling somewhat empty and hording up a lot of would have should haves.

Are you kidding me? They sold out in less than 40 seconds. Good job! (I didn't get one, so I'll be buying one tomorrow for $400 w/ Gears of War) I'd have much rather gotten the $100 core and just bought the accessories. Damn you! :(

Over the semester I've been using a yo yo as a stress reliever while doing difficult homework and assignments. The one I have is a fixed axle modified design (this means, its a cross between imperial and butterfly) and its only useful for throwing and catching ... it does not sleep. I've got pretty good at it ... I can even throw the yo yo, up, down, and horizontally. Last week I decided to get a real trick yoyo and ordered a Spintastics Tornado 2 which has a modified design and a ball bearing for sleeping. Anyways, I just got it today and I am so excited.

Wow, listen to this.

About a year ago when gas prices started going up the guy who lives across the street from my grandfather stole gas out of his motor home. He was up here at the time and nothing could be proven, but my grandfather installed a security camera overlooking his RV Port.

Well, since then my grandfather has just stopped talking or associating with this guy completely. He brags about being in the Italian Mafia and how he killed some guy in California, he carries the newspaper article around and trys to show people it (my grandpa refused to listen.) In I guess "retalliation" for my grandparents not talking to him he's done stuff like scratch my grandpas explorer, burn a very large portion of their grass with a bleach solution, put a snake head in their bushes, and last night he spraypainted "Harley Davidson" on my grandparents front door. My grandma heard them outside revving the engines at about 1:30 and then around 2:30 he called my grandparents and was like "go look at your door, that's what happens when you snub me."

This guy sounds insane. My grandparents live in a 55+ community, so it's not like it's some young guy. The police can't do anything without proof and I guess neither can the Homeowners Association. He said he's going to leave that up on the door. Maybe he'll install some more cameras, I don't know. I'm worried though because my grandpa goes on 30,40 mile bike rides by himself and the guy could follow him and kill him or something.

Tell your grandpa to get a nice gun & sit waiting for the guy to approach his house again.

If he has spray paint, say it looks like a gun & shoot the dude. Make sure to aim good, you don't want him coming back.

You jerks and your 7 class days. I have four periods a day, 83 minutes each, and a ~half hour lunch. It sucks. Immensely. Especially when I finish my work in three of the classes and end up sitting there if we're not allowed to talk, otherwise my friends and I engage in witty banter. My biology class owns. My friends Anthony, Chris, and Phil are all in it. We finish the work ... instantly.. and we're the smartest kids in the class. When we do review games (namely, Jeopardy!), two of us are always scorekeeper (and we're not.. drugged up and we can do math, unlike a few we started out with) and the other two win. If all four of us were allowed to, we'd probably go mess around in the library or something, but that would defeat the purpose of having a review session. =\

7 class days and 4 class days? Those both sound terrible. We have 5 classes a day, two 90 minute blocks and three 60 minutes classes, on a rotating schedule so that every class gets equal time through the 7 day cycle. It actually works really well as far as mixing things up goes and keeping the days interesting.

I would honestly give anything for block scheduling again. While it could get really tiring to be in a class for an hour and a half, I always found it much easier to get all your work done; I hardly ever had any homework. I also had more time to ask questions and go over the subject, so the material I understood better. If I missed a day of school, I only missed 4 classes. As well, if I had even one free period, that was a whole hour and a half I had to work on other things.

Now, I have 6 classes instead of 8, and all 6 every day; they're each an hour long, and hour lunch period is a grand total of 35 minutes. If we get anything done in class it's amazing, the homework is usually not explained well or there's too much of it... I miss block scheduling. I admit it's a drag sitting in the same classroom for an hour and a half, but.. God. Every day is exactly the same here. It drives me nutty.

Let's switch. I can't *stand* being many classes (except my AP History class.. that class is fucking awesome. And physics, I guess) for over an hour and a half, regardless of how much work there is to be done. Unless we're goofing off and having fun and the teacher doesn't care, I usually end up getting yelled at. Oddly enough, I never get sent out, though I am probably one of the most disruptive people in classes. I'm the guy that will start talking in a low whisper about something completely off the subject after I finish a test and someone sitting next to me that I can hold an intellectual conversation with finishes. Either that, or I use my other classes to do history homework. :P

Haha. I figured I typo'd the name because I had just stuck it into Firefox's home page. So I didn't think much until joe told me, and I thought about contacting iago to tell him, but instead I watched Braveheart because I figured it'd be fixed soon enough. :)

I've got to say, though, there have been several times I've tried to connect to x86 and haven't been able to over the past few weeks/months, so when it doesn't load after one or two tries, I'm really not all that surprised. Life goes on. Somehow. Tragically.

Woah, pretty sketch experience today in FYE. My friend and I were doing some Christmas shopping and my grandpa likes this composer he watches on PBS and I was getting him the DVD and a CD of the guy. Well this college-age student comes up and asks my friend if he suggests anything, and how he likes more modern classical music with a good beat. Then he starts asking us about school, college, his current college experience, work, etc. then he comes out and is like "so do you guys want to make some money on the side?" And I just snap around and look at him (I was looking at cds when he said it) and my friend and I were just silent. Then I said "no, not really" and he said that him and his buddies were starting up a sports nutrition business and I told him that my mom does that and he's like oh and he says something else but I forget and he kind of just wanders away and out of the store.

It was so weird. I wonder what he really wanted us to do...

Fast forward to today, she sends me a message, we talk a bit. I'm meeting her at a coffee place tomorrow @ 8pm.
Is she more normal than Scratchy Piercy Chick?
Yes.
Hick-ish, in fact
Ugh

I like hicks.
Tight jeans, tight button down shirts or the "wife beater"/"A"/muscle shirts. Pretty hott (with two Ts)
I would SO hit it. And in the summer the short shorts ("Daisy Dukes")...*drool*

Yes, I think Laura Bush is very pretty.
Yes, I think that girl is freaky and would not touch her.

You go ahead and have fun with it though, Super_X. Be my guest. She's probably into BDSM and stuff too.

CrAz3D: You said how she was a freak and scratches and stuff so I figured you were turned on by it because you were saying it in a positive way.

Word. I wrote a letter on Tuesday to the Dean of Admissions telling her how I was upset but I expected it and understood the committees decision. I told her how I knew admission rates after a deferral are low but that I want to go to HSC more than anything and would not disappointed her.

She called me back about 45 minutes ago and left a message saying how, in my case, the chance is "very high."

I went to a party

I was trying to. Was it a party w/ alcoholic beverages and hot ladies? Score?

My friend Chris and I went to the mall because we were bored and were given the night off and I needed to get some screen protectors from the Apple Store (ended up wasting $15 because I messed it up!) So after that we were bored and were trying to go hang out w/ his hot neighbor (she thinks I'm an asshole though so, hey, whatever her loss) and her friend and play flashlight tag or something. She wasn't feelin that too much. So I call up our other friend Paul whos back from college and see if he wants to chill but he's like I'm at my house drinking with some people. (I was hoping we'd be invited, but we weren't. Damn.)

BUT! New Years. I'm trying to get an invite somehow to this girls party, but I haven't talked to her since prob. middle school. Paul is throwing another hotel party like he did when he was up here in October that I was invited to. (Suprising since I broke a sink last time, called everybody a bitch and a pussy, tried to fight them, and asked a girl to show me her titties. (all while I was on the phone w/ my gf.) Anyway, my mom tonight was telling me and Chris how we're not allowed to go anywhere on new years eve due to drunk drivers...so I thought I had to stay home. But she was like "so you have to stay in one place, didn't you go to Paul's last year?" I didn't even know him last year but I just said I didn't know (I was home though, in my room, probably talking to Newby on AIM or something.) So looks like I got a way to go to Pauls (if she supposedly let me last year, why won't she this year?)

I never drink, but if I get a chance to I'm going to take it. I think it's dumb that people do it to have fun since I have fun sober. But, I know it'll happen in college so I need to work on my tolerance. ;)

Oh, and we got a new cat.

No, going to college where you have nobody looking out for you because they're wasted and then you getting alcohol poisoning because you were intoxicated and kept drinking way over your limit is idiotic.

What is, to accept a drink that you're offered?

In America, it's sort of considered rude to decline a drink, but a second one is easully declined with the "I'm driving" excuse, or something. The "I'm underage" is also a good excuse, but other than that..

EDIT -
Trust, I probably won't drink in college. In fact, with my certifications, I'll be required to make sure the rest of them don't drink too much! They'll hate me. :P

Yes, I'm finding my limits now. I haven't drank with the intention of getting intoxicated since October like I said, and that was the first time so I'm still discovering them.

Yeah. My mom went into Petsmart to get my aunt a giftcard for Christmas, my sister and her saw this cat Maggie and my mom fell in love with it. She kept seeing/hearing the word Maggie come up in different situations and the cat was all she could think about, so she got it. The cat is 3, was abused I guess by younger children and doesn't like loud noises. Also, her front claws were removed...with pliers, so she doesn't like feet touching.

I don't think it likes me too much, so I'm still working on that. It's hard to tell because yesterday sometimes I'd try to pet her and she'd smack my hand away or move. Then I took her upstairs to let her explore the 2nd floor and after she was done she laid down beside me (I was in my computer chair) on the floor and then she would walk by and nudge my legs. Then she jumped up onto my lap (but got back down after only a few seconds.)

She has to have special cat litter and stuff too, which we're having trouble finding.

I'd prefer a dog totally, I'm not too fond of cats (and I'm insanely allergic, letting her in my room was the dumbest thing ever), but my mom says she needs it. So...there

A few minutes later someone calls, does the same sorta thing but at least says "sorry, wrong number" before just hanging up. This was all about 30 minutes ago.

Just now same woman from time#2 calls again & says "sorry, wrong number"

Yeah. When I was at the party I was talking about they took my keys but I needed something from my car and I had to be monitored to make sure I didn't go anywhere. Apparently I had said I wanted to drive or something?

I've vowed not to have any jager on New Years. Hopefully I go through with that, I want to remember the night. Though I did get my bottle of Hypnotiq today (just for myself to nurse throughout the night) and the guy that got it added a bottle of Rum he got in the Virgin Islands. :)

I've been invited to two parties. One my best friend is going to and it's the same people from October mostly. None of the girls I really want to hook up with or anything, but alcohol is provided for me basically (except my friend and I are each bringing our Hq, the rum, and champagne since we totally sponged off them last time...) The other one will have girls from my school who many of them I like, but also guys many who I probably won't know. Also nobody there will take care of me if I get completely wasted like last time. Plus it's BYOB. :P

Yeah I'd prefer that. We're going to stop by the high school party and then go to the other one, I'd rather just stay at the HS one because of the multiple girls that I want to have sex with who will be inebriated. Oh well.

bah. the college one starts at 7:30 and the high school one starts at 8, so my friend wants to just skip the one I want to go (hs) he's driving so I really have no say. Fuck, unless there are some new girls at this party...there's nobody there that I like. :(

But I was talking to this girl, I was going to give her some of my rum and hypnotiq (she likes both). We had this thing going in 2nd grade, I was kind of hoping to rekindle it...because she's rather attractive. I'd treat her right, but just for one night. Oh well, I lose.

No I'm a senior. We skipped the hs party like I said, got to the other one about 7:30 and partied until about 2:30 or 3. I woke up at 7:15, left there about 10:30.

I didn't get laid though, and this is why: The girl who was throwing the party (Ali) had her cousin (Raven) here from Mississippi, she was pretty cute. She's 15 though, so Ali's mom told Raven she could only have a few drinks. Well, my friend Chris was hitting on Raven and then all of a sudden he kind of stopped and him and Ali were in the backyard making out and eventually tried to have sex but her dad walked in, but that's a diff story. Anyway Raven has a committed relationship, of two months, back home. I tried telling her that 2 months is nothing and that she should sleep with me. She wasn't feeling it. She sent mixed signals though because when I would rub her and stuff she wouldn't say anything but then she would sometimes tell me not to put my arm around her. At midnight I hugged her and kissed her on the cheek (while she was on the phone with her boyfriend lol.) Apparently I grabbed her ass at some point too, but i don't remember that. I fully believe it though because I know I did it to Ali. She also told me (while sober) that I could sleep in her room on the floor. However, once she was drunk she told me I wasn't allowed and I ended up sleeping on the couch.

I think what I did was I thought I was in there when I was permitted to sleep in her room, so I pushed it to make sure I'd be sleeping with her. Apparently my idea of properly courting a female is to give her multiple compliments and make her multiple drinks (and I did eventually get her drunk even though she wasn't supposed to be..just not drunk enough to cheat on her boyfriend). In beer pong I spiked the cups with rum, hoping to lose (she was my partner). I'm just too sweet though and we won so it kind of backfired. This morning it was kind of awkward and all I said to her was "nice meeting you" when I left and asked her to email me the pictures of us.

No hangover though, except a decent headache. But that's it.

I get called that a lot, drunk and sober. No I wouldn't have, but what the other guy thinks doesn't concern me. I wanted to copulate! I don't understand why she let me rub her and stuff though.

Yeah it was in Ali's garage, and yeah her parents were home. Their rule is that drinking is ok if you're over 18 and give them your keys. Anyway, her dad did a headcount because 2 guys were unaccounted for. My friend was in Ali's room and the other guy left. Well anyway he knocked on her door (but it was locked) and Ali apparently wasn't clothed so she had to get dressed and Chris got on the floor and anyway once she opened the door she was told to keep the door open. Her room is right across from her parents and they kept their door open so nothing could really happen after that.

Trust you need to honestly grow up. You're bragging about some immature shit on the internet because you want respect of people you hardly know. Sure, go live your life and have fun and do whatever you feel is right (which is probably wrong btw), but you don't need to go on the internet and make posts about how much of a jerk you are maybe to get some bonus points or a cookie, or even just to make yourself feel better.

Seriously, the majority of your posts in this thread annoy me. If you're going to be a fucked up loser, that's cool with me but don't come here and talk about yourself like you're hot shit. I'm not saying I'm the greatest role model either, but I'm not trying to be a hypocrite and thus have the decency not to come online and post up my life story.

Shieet, just stop now and go to school and mature a little. You'll thank me later.

My cat is pretty cute, and she does some of the stupidest things. For example, I once had a box sitting on the floor in my room and my cat ran up to it, jumped over, and did an (unsuccessful) front handspring, flipped over, landed on her back, got up and ran. :)

....such a pretty car. Pretty odd seeing such an expensive car here though...not many people have money to spend on cars like that. Most people with money here are retired and aren't making money so they drive nice cars and have a hella nice house. I wonder where this dude works.
The only other NICE car I've seen here was a Rolls Royce (only one I've ever seen in person).

She says "I don't know how to do it and my manager said we don't do them here", I reply "you guys should get new managers then."

Well, that depends on the system. In the sensical measurement system, a few degrees below zero and a few degrees below freezing are the same thing. :P

It depends on whether it is humid or not. I have been in -30 temperatures (your system), and it has felt warmer than about 35 degrees (your system). Although since you live in a desert, I'm guessing you're calling your 30 degrees dry cold 'brr'. Wuss :)

CrAz3D your snowman is whack, where is its face?!

Today in indoor lacrosse I scored a sick goal. There was 15 seconds left in the half, I picked up the ball behind our goal and ran to the other end, but the 2nd guy who came to take me was able to stick check the ball away and when I realized it I one-handed picked it up, ran behind the other goal, and reached over and stuffed it in just as the ref got to "1" (second) in his countdown. I tried it in my next game against the goalie from my regular-season team and it didn't work, but it was still sweet when it did. :)

PROFILE is through Collegeboard, it's like FAFSA only it goes more in-depth (like it takes into account private school tuition for siblings, and allows you to explain your situation in paragraph form.) It's something only some colleges require, Hampden-Sydney being one of them.

It's just I'm in an extremely unique situation right now with my dad losing his job at Ford sometime this year. In 06 he got his regular pay, plus unemployment (because they had shutdowns every few weeks), plus disability because he was out for like 2 months after the car accident. Then my mom has her regular job but also is a Shaklee associate on the side. So, I have to wait until they get their W2 forms. (Plus, alot of my dads income is unclaimed, but there's an unclaimed section on the form so do I put it in or just leave it at 0 because I'm sure if I add it I'll get less...) And then this year in 07 my dad doesn't know when exactly Ford is closing it's doors, and he's taking the buyout so I have to estimate 07 income based off of questionable factors. And he should be getting a business license within a couple of weeks so I don't know if I should put him down as Self-Employed as well. I think I'm going to go my schools ACCESS counselor to get some help because I'm so confused.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: CrAz3D on January 08, 2007, 04:39:12 am

I did FAFSA, but with all of my investments it said I should be spending $26k/year on my own tuition & whatnot. Later FAFSA will look different cause I'm starting to put my money into IRAs and other 'exempt' investment things.

So we were offroading tonight in a friends 80s Toyota. I dislike sticks when offroading, just too obnoxious. ANYWAY, she stalled the truck and wanted her brother or myself to drive it up out of where we were (if we slid more than a couple feet to the side we'd go off a sharp drop). So I got in and drove it up, then let her drive. She kept BURNING the clutch, BAD.

Saw Danny Winn, Army of Freshmen, Suburban Legends, and Reel Big Fish last night!!
-Danny Winn was decent, but we didnt see much of them.
-Army of Freshmen was all emo-y. They asked the crowd if we saw the Fall Out Boy show the previous night, no one said anything, they asked "Fuck Fall Out Boy?" and we all cheered...it was amusing. Whoever billed this badn with Reel Big Fish was stupid.
-Suburban Legends was really entertaining to watch. They were a good group.
-REEL BIG FISH! was just awesome.

Left concert around 11:20, ate at the Frontier and when we got to where we were gonna stay the night we decided to just screw it and come back.

And soon, I'm off to go pick up my truck from being fixed from the 4x4 shop breaking it.

I'd say it is the first one, too. However, I'm not quite as witty as you, so I was forced to use some reason. A green, four-sided, four-cornered, equilateral polygon could mean a green rhombus or square. On the other hand, a square is a four-sided, equilateral polygon with four right angles as corners. :P

Yeah carbon composite is pretty much hit or miss when it comes to durability. The owner of the company at tournaments and stuff displays the strength of the shaft my hitting it against a tree, so I think the shaft in general is pretty durable - I probably just got a bad one. Oh well, it'll cost me like $3 to send it back so I'm not out too much.

Watched Saints, I don't know how that turned out because I was drunk...maybe they beat the Eagles.
Went to a slow party and saw some people I haven't seen in a few months & some more I haven't seen in like a year!!
Went to another rather 'hoppin' party...flirted with a cute crazy girl...police walked into the backyard (where we all were) because of the noise. Back to party 1 to just chill.

She did send me a message on facebook apologizing though, but still.

Edit: What the fuck is up with this girl? She removed me as a friend on Facebook. I find this weird because: I added her like 4 months ago when she first messaged me (she knows a girl I know and I had posted on her wall about Averett) and then removed me and then I messaged her the other day telling her I'd be up by her and if she wanted to chill...and she added me as a friend. Now she removed me? I want to still talk to her, so should I readd her? She's whack.

You unbolt the tire on the ground, then jack it up and remove the tire.
wtf?

What do you mean, "wtf?" That's how you are supposed to do it, so the tires won't spin as you break the bolt loose, dude.

Actually if you do that you might break the bolt due to the pressure of the car on the bolt.... your suppose to Jack the car up then unbolt. (and don't try to question me cause I am a Mechanic). Ask Dan (who has BUILT his car) how you are suppose to do it if your unsure.

and the girls so cute too and the way she says my name on the phone was just adorable.

"MATTTTTTTTTTT, it's Courtenayyyy." (It probably sounds better than I can type it.)

She did send me a message on facebook apologizing though, but still.

Edit: What the fuck is up with this girl? She removed me as a friend on Facebook. I find this weird because: I added her like 4 months ago when she first messaged me (she knows a girl I know and I had posted on her wall about Averett) and then removed me and then I messaged her the other day telling her I'd be up by her and if she wanted to chill...and she added me as a friend. Now she removed me? I want to still talk to her, so should I readd her? She's whack.

Someone you've never met has removed you from an online chatting medium. The solution: take emo pictures of yourself and place them everywhere.

I didn't mean completey remove the nuts, I meant break loose. Then you jack the car up, and remove them all the way, replace tire, tighten bolts as far as you can, then put it on the ground and torque on them.

[Edit]
Any how, if the four, or five, or how ever many bolts (depending on the axels) can support the car with the nuts, the bolts should support the car with out it. It might have the chance to mess with the threads, but that's quite unlikely.

No you were definitely off.

So our school lost by 2 points to the previous Virginia state champions in basketballl. They are a bunch of thugs and tried jumping one of our players at half time. We're still ranked higher than them in the state though (we were 9th before the game, I'm not sure what we are now). After they won their fans stormed the court and started stomping on our "G" in the center. To quote one of my friends, "hood ass niggers."

I'm in the library, stupid first day of class. Go to each class for about 15 minutes and then sit around for another 45 minutes+ waiting for the next class to start...REALLY sucks when I have 1 class in the same room with the same instructor (next 2 classes). I guess I'll just ask her at the end of class 1 for the sylabus to class 2.

I have failed you once again. :(

My mom hadn't paid the bill in over a month so they came and shut everything off at the house. It would cost ~$125 in activation fees to get it turned back on. This happened the day before my mom was going to pay the bill, so she was pissed and yelled at them for an hour, then decided to switch providers out of spite. This leaves me hanging until the 29th, which is the earliest Comcast can get someone here to install it. I hope they serve me as well as RCN has over the years.

So I went to Toys R' Us today because I needed to get Rainbow Six Vegas again. (Last one was messed up but they didn't have any in stock so I got a store credit) Well, I'm looking at the games and I see they marked the Xbox 360 VGA cable as $16 when it's normally $44 (basically mislabeled as S-Video). So I was like sweet, at that price I'll get it. Since that was the price on the sticker they had to give it to me, the VGA cable wasn't something I needed since Component does just fine but for $16 why wouldn't I? I was pretty excited. I can't really notice a difference though.

Oh and another thing that was good today: I had a B in AP Comparative Government because I didn't take two quizzes so I had like a 91.5. So I went by to pick up the quizzes to do over the weekend so that I'd have an A as my semester grade. He just decided to exempt me from them and now I have a 97. Yay. Next week is exams and I only have 3 because we don't have one in Comparative Government and my Psychology teacher exempted me (and only me) from the exam, which is pretty sweet.

Yeah. I haven't played xbox the game in like 3 weeks so I can't really compare since I can't really remember how it was before. I was watching Rome Season 1 through the Xbox though and it looked very good. It's only $16 and if need be I'm sure I can always resell it for more than I paid.

Well I have the highest grade in the class. We were given an exam review to do over two classes, 30 minutes later I turned it in. She wrote on it and said "This note is for you and only you" and the note read "exempt from 5th bell exam." That class is so easy, I always rush to get my work done since I leave right after it and most days I'll leave class 20-30 minutes early and just go home. Oh and earlier this year she exempted me from the essay part of a test and nobody else.

She sounds like an awful and unprofessional teacher. Just because you are doing well, (which is also suspect given her partial treatment towards you), doesn't mean that you should be evaluated differently than the rest of the class.

Also, 91.5% is a B?

Her treatment is hardly in favor of me, I just receive some rewards here and there for my work I do. At one point I had a 112 average in the class.

And yes, 92.5% and up is an A, below that is a B.

For 92% to be considered a "second class" grade, that class must be extremely easy. At most Canadian universities, 80% and above is an A, and at most British universities (e.g. Cambridge), 70% and above is the highest grade you can receive. And it's hard to get 70% there.

Anyway, it's been really strange as of late. Usually, my roommate is never in the room with his girlfriend, but for the past few days, any time I come into the room for my wallet/watch/other stupid thing I forgot that I may need, him and his girlfriend are there.

My horribly misinformed little friend...

1. Canada doesn't suck.
2. The English just talk funny. It's the Canadians who are nuts (but don't suck)
3. Sure. We use seconds! But that's about it.
4. Agreed. 70% is passing.. I hope their "70" isn't equivalent to our "90" (go for 50 and they can claim the babylonian number system).

A = 92.5+
B = 85.5+
C = 76.5+
D = 69.5+
E = <69.5

That's the grading scale my city (and many others in America) utilize. It's been that way since elementary school.Some AP teachers will adjust their grading to accommodate a 10-point scale (90-100 is an A, etc.) but I've only had that happen to me once.

Currently my grade is a 97.12, it was 112 when I did extra credit stuff but then I was only getting 100's on assignment and it dropped to like a 102. She exempted me from two assignments which I was absent for (small ones...but they messed up my homework average) but never took away the 0's but I have no reason to complain because it won't affect me any.

Here is the breakdown:
Assignments (Weight 10%): 104.24 A average
Exam (Weight 10%): Exempt
Homework (Weight 10%): 60 E
Projects (25%): 98.33
Quizzes (10%): 120.40
Teacher Assessment (10%): 100

She wrote on it and said "This note is for you and only you" and the note read "exempt from 5th bell exam." That class is so easy, I always rush to get my work done since I leave right after it and most days I'll leave class 20-30 minutes early and just go home. Oh and earlier this year she exempted me from the essay part of a test and nobody else.

She sounds like an awful and unprofessional teacher. Just because you are doing well, (which is also suspect given her partial treatment towards you), doesn't mean that you should be evaluated differently than the rest of the class.

Also, 91.5% is a B?

Her treatment is hardly in favor of me, I just receive some rewards here and there for my work I do. At one point I had a 112 average in the class.

And yes, 92.5% and up is an A, below that is a B.

For 92% to be considered a "second class" grade, that class must be extremely easy. At most Canadian universities, 80% and above is an A, and at most British universities (e.g. Cambridge), 70% and above is the highest grade you can receive. And it's hard to get 70% there.
1) Canada sucks, so that completely voids your "canada point"
2) That's england, they're all nuts
3) We're in America...nothing lines up with the rest of the world
4) it should be a 90%...but w/e

You forgot one:
5) Crazed is an idiot and hence his personal opinions are totally without credibility.

Re: Joe. 70% at Cambridge or Oxford is considered much better than 90% at any American University.
90% at any major Canadian University (UBC, McGill, UofA, UofT, Queens, ...) is considered better (even by institutions like Caltech and Harvard) than 90% at *any* American university. This isn't to say that the Canadian universities themselves are considered better, but it is an acknowledgment that they use a tougher grading system. And, in general, the major Canadian universities are considered rather uniform in quality and "superior" to basically 95% of the American ones.

I don't know. I guess it's a way for her to reward students who don't sleep in class. I've had maybe 5 or 6 teachers that have done stuff like that, though my AP Lit teacher just gives everyone a 100.

My name's Trust, I go to a shitty school where I have to do little work and no exams. When I enter the real world, I will be screwed.

Er... well, my name's not trust. But if it was...

I may not like my school too much (mainly because of the students,) but I do disagree with it being a "shitty school"

We're on Newsweeks list of best high schools
Our school system was the Broad Prize Winner
Our school itself won some award because of our success with having '4 schools' within a school (Academy system)..this gave us a ton of money and we are able to upgrade technology much faster than all of the other schools.
We have the IB Program, which says alot right there.

And what do you mean no exams? I have exams...I just happened to be exempted from one and since we're in the middle of a mid-year project in AP Comparative Govt we're not having a midterm exam. I still have exams in my other 3 classes. When I enter the real world I'll be adequately prepared with my experience from the IB program, AP curriculum, and Hampden-Sydney collegiate education. In other words, I'll probably be your boss.

My friend and I are going to the Hampton Roads International Auto Show tomorrow, and I want to get some pictures with the hot autoshow girls. The last time I went to an auto show I was young and with my grandpa, so I didn't attempt this. Do I just ask them or is there a proper etiquette I'm to follow/rules I need to obey? Maybe I should practice on the less attractive ones first.

Seriously, since you did not get the contradiction in your statement, I will attempt to make it clearer. She is giving you something good that she's not giving anyone else. Now, if that's not preferrential treatment, I don't know what is. Rather than test you to see if you actually learned anything in the course, she's basically saying, "This student was a good student; there's no reason to make him earn the A."

I'm sorry, but your denial of getting treated favorably just pissed me off. Does it really matter? Not at all. It's just I dealt with many unprofessional teachers and students just like you who received so much slack because the teacher liked them. Thankfully, I'm in college, and that kind of crap isn't happening.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: trust on January 21, 2007, 12:45:50 am

Sorry, but I'd have an A anyway and undoubtedly ace the final. It's regular level Psychology, it's nothing hard. (My school only has regular psych and IB psych, but you can't take IB psych if you dropped out of IB) I had the highest grade on the last test, I get A's on all of my assignments. Obviously I know the material. If I've gotten an A on every other test for the entire semester (see test average) what would make me do poorly now? Besides, even if I got like a 30 on the exam I'd still get an A in the class. It'd be a waste of time for me to go, instead I get to take that day off from school and have a 4 day weekend.

It's not preferential treatment, in my opinion anyway. I'm being rewarded for the effort I apply in the class and the fact that I have good character, especially compared to many of my classmates. I come into class I do my assigned work, and I do it at a pace that is far quicker than the other students. Every day when I finish my work, I ask for a pass to leave and I'm given it. I don't know what she does for the other students, but I can assume that if they did their work as I do mine they'd get breaks here and there. And as far as passes I'm sure anyone can get those, because oftentimes people ask for them and she tells them to do their work first or if they've been working hard she'll give them the pass. You guys blow everything out of proportion when I post something.

I'm sure you'd do fine on the exam, but you don't feel any need whatsoever to earn the grade? You'd rather everything just be given to you.

And as for blowing things out of proportion, I have a personal problem with teachers cutting students breaks because the teacher likes the student. And that other thing (drinking and hitting on the girl), you were acting like a prick and bragging about it. That's why people had such a problem with it.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: trust on January 21, 2007, 01:24:43 am

I've already earned the grade by working hard for the past 5 months. It's human nature to provide preferential treatment to those you like over those you dislike. I happen to have good relationships with my teachers, and I'm often rewarded for such things. In English, I come in late nearly every day and nothing is ever said. She refers to me as "Mr. President"; I have the second highest grade in her class, though I hardly do any work. I also continue to outperform my peers on papers. Yesterday I turned in a paper 2 weeks late and when I handed it to her she said "You are a great man." I apologized for the lateness and explained my writers block. I doubt I'll lose points, and if I do I'm sure she'll be lenient. (Last year I always got points off for late work, but others didn't..btw) She knows I need to maintain my A to ensure acceptance into Hampden-Sydney, and I doubt she'll let me down (unless I completely bomb the exam...) She's a really knowledgeable and nice teacher, to everyone it seems. Though with her I do think I receive slight favorable treatment, but I also think she would do that to most everyone.

In contrast, in my world history class (freshman level) our teacher retired earlier this year. Her replacement is young and I haven't really built a good relationship with her yet. The other day she told me (after about a month) that if I continue to arrive late (something that was never reprimanded by my former teacher) then I will be written up. I had a good relationship with my former teacher (her son's 1st choice was HSC so that made for many conversations which led to her taking interest in me.) However now I do not have my "senior perks" with this teacher, even though I have an extremely high A. This proves my point about merit not being the only thing that matters.

Essentially my point is that, yes, partial treatment does occur in all aspects of life. Instead of wining about it, maybe get a better personality. I don't make any special effort to receive any perks that I get, it's just how I act day to day that makes my teachers like me. I don't ask for any of these 'perks' nor do I expect them. The same thing is happening with Hampden-Sydney right now. My transcript certainly shows that I'm under qualified for admissions, but I have the entire Admissions Office pulling for me and really wanting me at their school. I did this not through making excuses for my grades or anything, but through writing them letters and making good impressions in person. They see that my character and determination makes up for fooling around in my younger years. In fact, the other day I met an alumni at my HS's basketball game...and now he's making phone calls to the college pulling for me. It's all about how you interact with people, and if you can't take advantage of it then I'm sorry..but no matter how much you "earn" something you're still going to be beat out if you can't talk as well as the next guy, it just won't happen. Also I still hold my ground in that my psychology exemption is nothing more than a hard-earned reward.

And, alright, I'll concede that the new years thing was partly wrong. She thought it was cute though, apparently...so I worry not.

Most of my professors think I'm a good person and have a good personality; I show them the respect they deserve, and in turn, they show me respect. Even if I could get away with being late or not taking a test, I wouldn't take the opportunity anyway because I wouldn't feel right about it. Perhaps it's just my upbringing, but I've always felt it disrespectful to show up late and dishonest not to do all the work in a class.

And all I'm doing is stating that I think your teachers are unprofessional. They really aren't helping you by letting you skip exams, turn papers in late, and being tardy.

Really, it's how high school works, not the world. I guarantee you if I showed up late for work every day, I would be fired. If I didn't turn a paper in on time to meet a deadline, I would probably be fired.

Well, the world is unfair, and favouritism definitely exists in many facets outside of high-school. But it shouldn't be a factor in determining what your grade is, whether you get exceptions made for you, etc. It is something that we should be trying to work against. Just like it might be 'instinctual' in higher level academics to dismiss women as being valid candidates for various positions: it's not right, and we have to work against it. The goal should be to make the system as fair as it can be.

I'm not bothered that you take advantage of favouritism, etc. To be honest, how many people wouldn't? The problem just seems particularly bad at your high-school, making things unfair for other students, and unfair for you in some cases when the teacher doesn't like you. That's not what education should be about! In the end, if you were hiring students, you would want the information on their transcript to strictly reflect their ability in those classes, not whether the teacher liked them, right? If you need someone who has a deep understanding of calculus for the job, if the applicants don't know what they're doing but their teachers liked them, they'll be useless to you.

For example, at my university, many professors have the policy that homework assignments must be turned in at the beginning of the class it is due: it won't even be accepted past about 5 minutes of the beginning of class; the solutions will be released. No late penalties, etc. Now, most of my professors really like me. But if I were to come to them even 2 hours after homework were due, I think they would feel really awkward and bad if I tried to make them give me an exception. They'd want to give it to me but they would think it to be unethical unless I had a medical excuse or something like that.

So you won't, by any chance, turn down the offer to skip the exam? In my opinion, turning down the offer and just telling your teacher that you want to take the exam would be more reflective of the qualities of yours, of which you mentioned in a previous post (determined, hard-working, a likeable character, etc).

So what if you've "worked hard for the past 5 months"? Not to be rude, but in the same way that you say that people who are on the receiving end of favorable treatment deserves it (I guess I'm looking at your particular case, and assuming that you as well as other people have earned it), rather than it being the case that you are the one that's "going with how the world works," couldn't it be the other way around, and you're actually working against it?

If it's the case that you are working against it, I'm permitted to say, "Oh, that 5 months of hard work is just going with how the world works, and I should keep it that way (meaning you take the exam and deny favorable treatment altogether) rather than disrupt it (thereby undermining your own belief on "how the world works", or I guess in this case, how it should be working).

But yeah, lately you've been coming off as extremely egotistical... and I guess from what I've read in your posts, you consider yourself to be more superior to your peers. Where did the humble Trust go?

So I went to the Hampden-Sydney vs. Virginia Wesleyan basketball game last night with my mom and friend, just because I wanted to support Hampden-Sydney. Also to see this alumni I know who goes to all my highschools basketball games and saw me with my hat one night and struck conversation with me and decided to call the dean about me. (He worked as the priest at the college too for many years.) He ended up not showing up though, but that's ok!

As it turns out, the dean of admissions came to the game...as well as the assistant dean of admissions assigned to my area and his friends. So, it was nice seeing and talking to them in an informal setting. They both said how I'm a "great kid" and said how things will hopefully work out for me. The assistant dean I really like and got excited when I saw him walk in, it's easy to relate to him because he's a 2005 grad so he's not much older than me which makes it more comfortable talking to him.

Anyway, so at halftime I go to get popcorn and some guys stop me because I had my Hampden-Sydney sweatshirt on and strike conversation. I tell them how I'm a prospect and as it turns out, one of them grew up on the same street as me, went to the same middle school, and went to the same high school. He's now on the Alumni committee for the college, in charge of Admissions. Score. He paid for my popcorn and water and said he'd talk to the dean and assistant dean about me. As it turns out, he talked to the assistant DoA during the game and he said he'd follow up about me. I also met this prominent attorney here, who just happens to be on the board of trustees.

I definitely feel a little more secure. Hampden-Sydney lost rather badly, but I think I did quite well.

Edit: I bet this turns into a 2 page discussion on how I'm receiving favorable treatment from the admissions and alumni committees.

Yep! I emailed him and he told me to let him know when I get my grades so he can contact the dean of admissions. Sweet

I got a 93 on my English exam and kept my A, I wonder if my teacher just gave me the points I needed though. In any case, hooray! My science teacher said that my grade COULD drop to a C, but if it's close then "he's on my side." He also said if I get a 4 or 5 on the AP test he'd go back and bump it up if I got a B...but really, how will that help me lol.

True. I've heard so much about how strong the alumni network at Sydney is though, and I can really see it to be true already. I thought it could have been overhyped, but now I don't think that is the case - and it makes me more content knowing I have a really good chance of being employed at graduation.

So I need to write a letter to my grandparents asking for a donation for my lacrosse team, but I'm not sure how to make it professional yet personal at the same time. I'm afraid if I make it too formal they'll take it the wrong way. Any ideas on a good balance?

Why does it have to be professional? I'd just say that you're trying to raise money for your lacrosse team and whatever they can spare would be more than welcome.

You could explain the situation to them in your letter. However, as you seem to dislike the idea of making it personal, feel free to make it a formal letter. I'm sure your grandparents won't mind you pretending you don't know them in a letter. :-\

So I was at this party last night, and it was obvious that the guy wasn't going to offer us a beer so my friend and I go up to the convenient store and decide to try Corona. That stuff is DISGUSTING! It's easier to tolerate than say natty light, but it still tastes bad. It has way too much foam too. Maybe it's a good thing since I had to drive home and couldn't get drunk anyway, but wow. I didn't have it with lime, I hear that makes it better slightly. But it's gross, so I advise against it. Don't fall for the hype.

Though girls seem to like it, I gave one to this pretty hot girl I met last night.

Corona is the bomb-diggity. Lime & salt brings out the flavor a bit more, yeah, but I'm usually too lazy to do so.

No, Corona is disgusting. It went down smoother than some other beers I've had, but the taste made me feel like I was going to throw up. I even tried to chug it but that didn't work due to the bottle. I need to find a beer that I can actually enjoy the taste of, as I've only enjoyed beer one time - and I was already drunk. I might give this AmberBock a shot, I don't know. Is there a really strong Hop taste? What does it taste like?

My friend is getting his ID soon so we'll be able to try more stuff.

I haven't had dark beer so I don't know what the difference is really. My beer experience is limited, and includes: Budweiser, Bud light, Budweiser Select, Natty light, natty ice, Coors light (I think), and Corona. None of those, in my mind, tasted good.

Dark beer is usually taken from the bottom of the vat. Assuming it is unstirred for a time before production.

I don't like Corona (I remember it being OK while I was drinking it but with an horrible lasting aftertaste), and I like Budweiser even less (the aftertaste wasn't quite as bad, but it just tasted cheap and crummy overall).

I'd recommend Granville Island Honey Lager (the best tasting beer I've had), as well as Stella Artois, Heineken, Alexander Keith's, Warsteiner, and Clausteiner (think I've misspelled the last one).

Also, aren't you quite underage? How do you "go to a convenience store" to buy beer? Just wait around for someone who will do it for you? How long does that take, in general?

Back when I used to drink, if there wasn't anyone around that we knew who was old enough, we would ask a homeless person and throw them enough money to buy themselves a six pack or something. Considering the state homeless people are generally in, the first one you ask always seems to be willing to do it.

Here's the info on that beer from the producers. (http://www.gib.ca/aleTale_honey.cfm) I've only had it on tap, and apparently it's better that way. But it's still probably good from a bottle. Granville Island is a smaller brewery in Vancouver, but I know it sells in Washington. It might also be available in Virginia.

Yeah, look on the back of your license...

Plus ABC stores pay more attention to your license and check for a fake, the 16 year old at the grocery store could care less. Apparently they've bought from people at a grocery store here that go to our school...they obviously know that they're under 21. Plus the girls fake is a S. Dakota one so most of the time people just look at in and don't really pay attention since they aren't used to South Dakota.

Most places here scan licenses, for tobacco or alcohol. Especially 7/11 and the like. However, I know a guy who makes fake ids.. scannable too. So it's not really any measure of security. People underage will always have no issue getting their hands on alcohol.

Congratulations. What are your plans for your major? Any idea what your first semester of classes is going to look like? I realize that it's very early to ask these questions, but maybe you're an early planner. :)

Thanks. I'm planning on majoring in political science, Sydney has a great program with a good matriculation rate to the University of Richmond and UVa Law. And no I'm not sure on my first semester classes, if I do well on my Comparative Government exam I might be able to get out of the first year of government courses and do something higher or one of the non-required ones. I wouldn't mind taking a class on the classics, specifically Roman history.

Oh, I forgot to post this: I thought it was neat. I know I posted earlier about the alumni committee admissions chairman I met at a basketball game earlier in this thread. Well, we kept in contact and I think he played a role in my acceptance. But look what he said when I sent him a facebook message telling him I was accepted:

Quote

Yes, I did know of your acceptance; however, I do know the feeling of the offical letter. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! I am very excited that another Comet is joining the brotherhood of H-SC. Let me know if you have already purchased your H-SC belt, if not, I would be honored if I could get you your first. Also, I know hold you as my key contact for attracting more granby guys to H-SC. Congrats again.

The key part is the belt, which with H-SC holds significance. It's this ribbon belt with the school crest and everyone has one, it's kind of a big deal. It's pretty sweet he wants to buy it.

Now tomorrow I leave for Presidential Classroom in DC, which I don't want to go to really...I'll be missing a week of lacrosse.

I doubt this is legitimate. If you were this drunk, you wouldn't be posting on a forum. I've written coherent essays after a bottle of wine. Maybe if I drank so much that I were being rushed to the hospital in an ambulance for alcohol poisoning, and I were asked to scribble out some words on a piece of paper...
nevermind... even then I would hope that I'd be sharper than that.

Either:
A) This is a pathetic attempt to (brag?)
B) You really need to quit drinking alcohol
C) Both

I just got home from Presidential Classroom, it was one of the best experiences of my life and I'm sad to leave all of my new friends. I can't believe I was hesitant to go. I now know so much about the culture of all these different people from different places in the country (including Puerto Rico, a Mongolian immigrant living in Missouri, and more facts about Casper, WY than I'll ever need.) I have a ton of pictures I'll put onto Webshots and Facebook later if anybody want to see them.

I do regret not dancing much at the social last night, this really pretty girl asked me to on a kind of upbeat song and I didn't accept. I wish I had, and felt bad I didn't - and was going to ask her to dance a slow song (though they only played one) but a program intern danced with her instead...but I did get to dance for a bit of the song with this cute intern. The rest of the week I was pretty outgoing and stuff, I just didn't want to look like a fool dancing and I really could have had a lot more fun. Oh well.

Edit:

Pictures!

I also have a bunch of pictures from one of the art galleries we visisted (it was like the National Portrait Gallery or something) but I didn't bother uploading them since the only really worthwhile one was Washington's famous portrait. I did upload a picture of this sweet tin foil throne thing from it though, some guy made a 180 piece throne for Jesus out of tin foil in his garage, he even made a language and stuff that they still can't decipher. It was pretty sweet.

I'm just saying that because you live in a hot climate. It was 20-30 there last week and that's what I wore over my suit and I was still chilly. I figure even though in March it will be warmer, it'll probably will still be really cold for you.

wtf is that?

When you're asleep your brain shuts down the rest of your body so that you don't act on things you do in-dream, like fighting a monster - this is to keep you and those around you safe. However, sometimes your brain will wake up from a dream but the rest of your body is still temporarily paralyzed. You often get the feeling of a 'presence' in the room, and it feels like something is sitting on you. What happened in my experience was I was on my side and it felt like something was rubbing my back back and forth, and then they started to take my ankle and rotate my foot pretty rapidly. I could see, but I was still partly in dream world so what I was seeing was some other place I guess overlayed over my room. I tried saying "go away demon" but I was unable to speak, but I started to recite the Lords Prayer in my head and it stopped.

Many people believe this is the act of demons, but too keep me sane I'm going to assume it was just from lack of sleep over the past week or something. But my mom used to get these a lot when she was a kid, and usually shortly after something bad would happen.

That happened to me the other night. I was wide awake and trying to move to "wake up" but I couldn't.

My highschool just lost the regional semifinal game in basketball. We were 2 up with about 30 seconds left, the other team scored a 3 pointer and I guess that just killed our spirits. We scored one, off of a foul shot, but we fouled them twice. I thought we were going to win it, I thought we were going to take states. We even had a sign hanging up: "Don't hate, cause we're takin' states"

It sucked, I'm pretty upset.

I think it is only about 120 questions, but I will only have a 50 minute period to do it. Yay for AP classes. My scheduel is rediculous as of now too. School 7:15-12:20, SAT Prep course 1-1:45(math) 2-2:45(english) and then swim 3-5:30.

Your school schedule doesn't look any different than mine any of my years, save that you start an hour earlier and get out an hour earlier. I didn't do sports my senior year because my knee won't allow me to without unreasonable amounts of pain, but I finished seasons all other years.

It's sort of a bummer that you have two hours of class that prepares you for a standardized test. I'm not arguing that standardized tests are unnecessary, but I do not think that they should affect your schedule in such a way that roughly a quarter of your time each day is devoted to "learning for the test."

Haha, I took English composition last year and that was the requirement for the second semester (well, actually it was longer than 20 pages. I don't remember exactly what the requirements were). I just filled it up with graphs (not that they shouldn't have been there; they served a very good purpose) and stapled a bunch of c code to the back. The teacher gave me a 100%, but I think that's because she'd never encountered someone interested in researching prime numbers before, heh.

I thought that until Saturday night when I ordered two double cheeseburgers and both of them had about a quarter of the bun saturated in grease (I mean, it was darkened by a lot...even after I tried sponging it with a paper towel.) I can eat at basically any fast food restaurant and not get sick or feel bad, but not at McDonalds. (I still love Big Macs though)

Dude, Chipolte is not good at all. I went there for the first time on Saturday because I love burrito bars (but I'd only been to two prior...Machismos which is a local one and Moe's Southwest Grill.) Chipolte is inferior to both of them because essentially the only options they give you are your meat (which was pretty gross looking), beans, salsa, and if you want lettuce cheese or sour cream. Moe's and Machismo's both give you a MUCH MUCH MUCH larger selection and at Machismo's the burritos are about 30% bigger.

The only burrito bar I've yet to try is Qdoba.

Taco Bell, ~~Chipotle~~, and Subway are by far the most pwn fast-food restaurants. In that order. :D

I agree. The one Chipotle I've visited though (Green Bay, WI) wasn't impressive for it's price.

Taco Bell is fucking awesome though. When I get my license, Taco Bell runs galore.

So, today a few kids from my AP computer class and I participated in the Providence College High School Programming Contest. The contest consists of ten problems that you have to solve over a period of 3 hours and 15 minutes. The team who solves the most problems correctly wins, and in case of a time the team who took less total cumulative time wins. There are a few more rules, such as you only have one computer per group of four, and you can only have two people in the room with the computer at each time.

Our school came in 4th place out of about twenty teams, which is not so bad. We solved 6 out of the 10 problems correctly (6 other teams solved 6 problems, but we did it in the shortest time) so we did as good as we could for the amount of time we did it in. First, second, and third place got 9, 8, and 7 respectively.

Technically we solved 8 problems perfectly, but we couldn't finish typing one, and one of them kept getting rejected because of how horribly worded the problem was. We didn't figure it out until we were talking to other teams afterwords that the example shown took the input in a way that was ambigious. The judges were inputing them opposite from the way we did. The only example showed the input for the first and second number as 4 and 4, but when used with 3 and 4, ours gave the answer it should have for 4 and 3. From the way the problem was written, there was no way for us to know this. If they had an example with two different numbers, or at least said which was supposed to come first, we would have come in a place higher.

Actually, about half of the problems were worded very badly, and it was particularly infuriating to read something half a dozen times and still have no idea what they were asking.

But yeah, it was a lot of fun. When we arrived in the morning they had donuts and juice and coffee. About half way through the contest part, they sent one member from each group down to get pizza. There was plenty of soda, the entire time, and to entice us to stick around for the awards ceremony, they topped it off with letting us make our own ice cream sundae. It was awesome.

I'll probably post some of the problems that we didn't finish in the programming forum when I get them from my friend who has my packet. I'd like to see how a few of them are done and I'm sure there are people here who can do them rather easily.

Hmm... I haven't eaten fast food in over 4 years (or more), but I liked:
DQ ice cream cones/Blizzards, DQ burgers, DQ chicken strips, Burger King milkshakes, Wendy frosty's, Mcdonalds Hashbrowns.

I've never had a mcdonalds hamburger in my life. :) I almost never want to try one either, mostly so that I can keep that record.

And the square shaped burgers at Wendy's (in the commercials) look really unappealing -- so "factory" made.

And I've never been to Jack in the Box. How does it compare to those fast food places I listed?

Jack N the Box > McDonald's, DQ.
Not sure about how that & Wendys & BK compare...they're all different but good.

I think BK & jack are pretty close.

I just don't really like fast food that much, and I haven't had many opportunities to get it. Even before 4 years ago, I would get fast food on average about twice a year. If I eat out, usually it's somewhere pretty upscale or high quality.

You might... from what I've read, I'd guess you drink fairly often. Anyways, if you're drinking say, 8 nights of the month, you could cut that down to 1 or 2 and use the rest of the money/time on dining at nice places.

I live on a university campus. There is a McDonalds here, and that's it as far as chain-fast food places go. If I go to the trouble of traveling downtown, it is usually somewhat of a special occasion, and so if I am out eating usually it is somewhere nice. Also,the food vendors on campus tend to be much better than most fast food places. There are about 5 different sit-down restaurants, ~20 different food vendors, and about 4 pubs. However, if there were more fast food places on campus I doubt I would go to them often anyways. The frequency might increase from "never" to a few times a year.

Where do you go again? Is it someplace in the south because I remember you seemed to be familiar with Hampden-Sydney in the past?

I guess that explains it though. When I was at Georgetown their student center had a little grocery store, a KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Subway, a coffee shop, a starbucks stand, and then 2 or 3 restaurants.

That's the thing. If all else fails, he'll decide to move me down himself for whatever reasons and I won't have to move myself. I think that looks worse than choosing to move down, though. Oh well.

If he moves me down I'll probably just stop playing since JV won't help me none (the kids down there suck fat asshole according to kids that are down there) and I could spend my 10-12 hours a week doing something better for my future. :P

OH, I can afford $40 a plate at times...not often though.

I regularly (once? a month) hit $15ish plates.
Most expensive I've had was like $55?, most expensive meal (for 2) was $80 for valentine's day last year...such a waste.

The CPAC thing was $25 registration, $1400 hotel (split 6 ways), $230 airfare, plus w/e food, spending, intown travel while there.

We have our first game today at 2, and we have to be there at 1. I plan on getting there about 12:25 or so just so I can listen to my iPod and shoot and just chill before the game starts.

I don't know which line I'm on, I think second...maybe third? We did king of the hill yesterday (faceoffs) and I went 0/3 so I don't know what was wrong. We are playing the best team in the league (coach requested them since we lost to them in the championship) and they're intimidating. Pretty much the entire team is over 6 foot and really strong. Out of our big guys, I'm probably the only decent one...but I'm definitely not as strong as the other team. Most of our guys are small and are sophomores or freshman. I think the best we've done against them is 13-8, and that was when we had all of our good seniors last year.

We'll see how it goes.

We were doing well, 3-3 at the half. We only got like 5 shots off in the second half (3 within 1.5 minutes of playtime left) and ended up losing 7-3. It sucked.

It could even just be a carb issue. If the air and fuel mix are off it can flood the engine and clog the spark plugs. If that's the case, (it sort of sounds like it.) it would smell like raw fuel, you'd visibly be able to see your exhaust well (Plus your catilitic converter would be red hot.) and you'd smell raw fuel when you start it, or even just at idle. If that's the case it'll be a simple fix.

I can't tell you how to do it exactally on every car. But usually you look in the manual, find the richness screw, screw it all the way (in, I think it usually is) one way or the other until it starts to sputter and shake, then (usually) twist it the opposite way 1/4-1/2 turn.

How do you spell lacrosse?
R-U-N
R-U-N
R-U-N

That's all we've done in practice pretty much yesterday and today.
Every dropped ball during passing drills equals 1 10 yard sprint. I've done probably around 100 sprints between yesterday and today.

The rest of the running isn't 'bad' running, and consists of relay races and the like...but it's running nonetheless. Everyone on my team pretty much is hating our assistant coach for this, and nobody but probably me likes his coaching method. What these morons don't understand is that he's making us run when WE mess up, to make us focus, and when we focus and do what we're supposed to we don't have to run.

I run hard though and never complain, and I hope this pays off. When we do 2v1 groundballs I try to be the 1 and I try to out hustle the other two and win, and hopefully I'll be able to beat out the 1 person I need to beat to get bumped up to 2nd line, or the 4 to get up to first.

And what pisses me off even more is when one of our captains leaves practice early because he doesn't want to run.

That's not bad (10 yds) but I guess if you drop passes it adds up. :|

Yeah it's not bad, it's not bad even when it adds up. It's tiring but I think it's pretty lenient.

But it does add up quick. Especially when there are about 17 dropped passes for each run down the field. Then if someone gets a false start or has their foot on the line that's 1 or 2 more depending on how he feels. It's the same people that drop passes everytime too, though I can say I was responsible for I think 3 due to bad passes, but still.

This is the drill where it's the worst:
We have 3 lines, we'll call line 1 A1, line 2 (middle) A2, and line 3 A3.

A1 passes to A2 who passes to A3 who passes to A1, repeat. They do this in a triangle and the passes are relatively short. Our head coach sometimes makes the lines, which is better because if you're decent you're not stuck with people who suck. But usually it's just random and I usually get stuck with sucky people. I can make some obscure catches, and I'm pretty tall, but I'm not 20 feet tall.

Edit :Just to give you an idea, I think we did 43 sprints yesterday and probably 65-70 today?

Post by: trust on March 15, 2007, 05:10:32 pm

well, I scored twice today in practice and went undefeated in faceoffs, boo yah!

Sadly, however, I was playing crease attack during our man up play. The point of the crease attackman in this play is mainly to provide a screen on the goalie. The shooters are supposed to shoot at the feet and the crease attackman jumps. Well, I jumped, but the shot wasn't low enough and it went right UNDER my cup and hit the bottom of my balls. It hurt. I was seeing colors. Oh well.

We have a game tomorrow but it's going to suck, it's against a super easy team but it's going to be in the 50's (it was in the 80's today) and rainy! We play in the rain, but it means everybody is going to be throwing bad passes because when your stick gets wet it becomes inconsistent.

We won 15-3.

You know what I hate about being on the 3rd midfield line? Well, I'm not high enough up to get a lot of playing time in a close competitive game, but not low enough to get enough playing time in a game where we're dominating. He took today as an opportunity to play our 4-7(I think there's 7, maybe 6) lines. I mean I guess that's good, but the 3rd line needs loving too.

On the plus side my faceoff percentage was 100%. Go me.

I forgot the fact that I only really played first and fourth quarter (got in for man down on 2nd/3rd like twice) was the reason our defense did really crappy second and third, which is when they got a huge lead on us. ::)

That, and our offense kept dropping good passes or giving shit passes. Normally the latter.

Ugh we lost our Varsity game today 12-2! I got to play though, so that's good. I wasn't sure if I would because my coach reworked the lines and was having two midfielders switch to attack so he could keep most starters on the field.

I wasn't supposed to play in the JV game since I'm big, a senior, and don't suck. Other seniors played but I have more skill than them so it wasn't a big deal. I went up to my coach and was like "their defenders are pretty big, could I get some time in as attack?" I ended up facing off and then transitioning to attack. I was thinking, wow, I'm going to kill at attack and score like 20 goals...I didn't score any. I didn't even touch the ball. I was wide open with a perfect shot 2 or 3 times and the ball ended up going back the other way. So far I have no goals or assists this year. :(

The only other time I got in was when we were 3-3 with like 2 minutes left and we were man down. We ended up scoring with like 43 seconds left and winning 4-3.

Eww I hated being face off guy.. i cause i almost always won the ball for my team but i never really scored.. I did the "tet offensive" and ran over the whole team but sice my head is a piece of crap i never scored:(. i had about 30 shots and made only 5 the whole season....

SO...
not only did I mess up my laptop somehow (I'm still on it unbelievably) while sober, but I managed to screw up my phone (white screen with a blank blot) while not sober...so I dont even KNOW how that happened :(

Did hang out with lady friend, about 99.3% she's interested as well ;)! *highfive*
Just gotta 'make her mine' now, somehow, I guess.

Haha, The Village. I love making fun of that movie. Here's my friend and I discussing it shortly after I had the misfortune of watching it:

Quote

(5:39:22 PM) Chris: i'd be so bad at the guy who dresses up like a monster and scares the crap out of people in this movie
(5:39:33 PM) Chris: I'd start chasing them and be like
(5:39:43 PM) Chris: YOOOU NEVA GOOOONNNAA CEEETCH MEEEEEEE
(5:39:51 PM) Chris: SSSEEEEEE YAAALL NEXT YEEA
(5:40:02 PM) Chris: YOU WASTIN YO TIME
(5:40:39 PM) Jeff: I'd forget I was wearing the suit and walk into town all relaxed like everything is normal, go over to the well, lean up against and start smoking a cigarette and say, "Damn, pretty hot out today."

Quote

(5:43:27 PM) Chris: oh but im still going to eat your souls
(5:44:53 PM) Chris: then grab one of the kids and go back into the woods
(5:45:03 PM) Chris: its my................. human sacrifice, ok?
(5:45:25 PM) Chris: "you just want to have sex with her"
(5:45:29 PM) Chris: thats ignorant
(5:45:31 PM) Chris: thats just ignorant
(5:45:51 PM) Chris: you know what, fuck you kid. you're coming with me too
(5:46:11 PM) Jeff: Just look at them like they're assholes, and say, "Yeah...right. And Grizzly Adams had a beard."
(5:46:39 PM) Jeff: Little kid says, "Grizzly Adams did have a beard."
(5:47:11 PM) Jeff: But without even panning the camera back to you this shovel swings in from the side of the screen and smacks him in the face.

I have absolutely no trouble saying that Sixth Sense was a far better movie than The Village. I read a book in Middle School that was themed almost identically to The Village. The Sixth Sense was a very interesting and original idea; The Village was not.

So lacrosse game yesterday. We won but I don't know the score, I think it was like 12-1. I got a decent amount of playing time, but since we were winning by alot he let pretty much everyone play so I didn't get as much as I would have if it were a little closer. Oh well. I took 3 shots, one I just KNEW was going to go in..but none did. :( I picked up a ground ball and was about to dodge this defender and go for the goal, but a kid came behind me and hit me super hard in the upper part of my kneecap. It hurt like hell. I couldn't run without limping so my coach called me off the field. One of my friends on the sideline said he thought I was going to score. I was so mad after that. :(

I didn't go to practice today since I still can't really won, so I stayed home and played WoW lol.

Studied last night for a couple hours ;)! WHOOO AH! Studying was fun.

Wow, there was a drug bust by the DEA at Hampden-Sydney today. Apparently 22 warrants were issued, 14 students were arrested, and cars were impounded.

That is gay, they were victimless crimes. Hampden-Sydney students have a VERY large degree of freedom and I can't believe something like this would happen, it was obviously something the administration had part in. There was a DEA agent taking classes and stuff.

It's bs and I'm mad even though I don't go there yet.

You don't understand. Since H-SC has such a strong honor code, students are awarded with a lot of freedom. The school is a place where public underage drinking, even at football games with a ton of police presence, doesn't even raise an eyebrow. It's hard to put into words the environment you are in at Hampden-Sydney, but it's just something that isn't realistic in the rest of the world. A lot of the things that separate Sydney from the rest of the schools in the country receive a lot of criticism, but the environment is what makes it special and not just in the terms of illegal activities. It's a school where the administration tells you they only want a certain type of man, and those that don't fit in really really have a bad time. It's just how it is. The men here are gentlemen not criminals.

Drugs may hurt people, but it's not the drug itself normally that brings in huge arrests/warrants; it's the people behind the production/transportation/distribution of the drug. They're more dangerous than idiots shooting up heroin.

It would seem to me, that if 14 students were arrested that means that at least 14 students were against the honor code. It seems only approperiate that they lose some freedoms.

Also, I think it's very wrong to profile people, and make it hard for those that "don't fit in." I'm glad the south has gotten past the whole "oppression" thing. And, since you're a bible fearin' man, how's about "let he is with out sin cast the first stone." Why doesn't the south follow that part of the bible?

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: trust on April 11, 2007, 10:05:22 pm

First of all the honor code does not make any mention of drug use. You aren't allowed to lie cheat or steal, nor tolerate those who do.

Secondly, 14 students is over 1% of the population...so this is a big deal. Nobody is being profiled, it's just H-SC is a school that is looked at generally by certain types of people who know what it's like before going in. In any social setting if everyone is one way and you are different, things are going to be uncomfortable. It's not just at Sydney or in the south.

The honor code works because of the type of men that go here. It's definitely taken seriously and you'll get kicked out (by a court of your peers, not faculty) for violating it. How is them dealing cocaine that much worse than you drinking underage? People party, oh well. It's not like it's crack.

I do, but I don't want the law at H-SC. Honestly, having undercover agents put on campus is more or less a direct violation of the honor code which Sydney preaches. It's a contradiction of the moral and civil liberties on which it was founded. (It was founded because the only other school in the colony of Virginia was William & Mary which was a Royal (public) school and had to teach a Royal curriculum) This should have been handled in student court if anything.

And an update: Apparently one of the guys was just going to go down for moonshine until the undercover agent bought weed from him.

Anyway, the Richmond Times published an article (the other 5 on Google News are just the same AP article) and listed that 7 other H-SC students were arrested for possession and 3 Longwood students were.

It also says:

Quote

Officers of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Farmville Police Department, Prince Edward County Sheriff's Office, Virginia State Police and the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control made the arrests.

Since it mentions the Farmville Police Department and the VA Dept. of Alcoholic Beverage Control, I wonder if there's going to be pressure on them to crack down on law infractions.

I hate to say this but I think it's relevant. H-SC is an environment with a lot of very privileged people, and with such an abundance of money floating around it's not hard to imagine drugs being readily available. While drugs are bad, these kids are using the drugs at parties or whatever on themselves. They aren't out running prostitution rings, smuggling the drugs in a mules ass across the border, or participating in drive by shootings. And, honestly, the drugs aren't really hard drugs. It's not like they're running a meth lab in the frat house. There are hookers walking around campus with crack pipes. These are kids that had a future, were getting an education - sure maybe they liked to party or make a few extra dollars but in the big scheme of things they really were not hurting anybody. I'm mad that tax dollars went towards something so, essentially, trivial.

14 more kids will fill their place and whoever is producing it is still in business. it's basic economics, a money-minded kid will fill the void and supply it.

The honor code protects the students and maintains respect for the brotherhood. There's no mention in it of drug use or alcohol use. It's to not lie cheat or steal, and it is upheld to the highest degree. It's something that is rivaled by many institutions.

These are kids that had a future, were getting an education - sure maybe they liked to party or make a few extra dollars but in the big scheme of things they really were not hurting anybody. I'm mad that tax dollars went towards something so, essentially, trivial.

14 more kids will fill their place and whoever is producing it is still in business. it's basic economics, a money-minded kid will fill the void and supply it.

its basic economics that these kids with their recreational drug business (assuming they're not manufacturing it themselves) are enabling the drug mafias and their turf battles.

hmmm......6 months probation for a minor in possession or 40 years for trafficking ... hmmmmmm

and I suppose serial murderers are just unlucky that they got caught?

new topic:
our college dems (or @ least one of them, and I have a sneaking suspicion which one) are douches.
We have our arts & sciences (college our groups belong to) meetings every other thursday. at the last 2 I have left early. at the last one I left early but a friend from college republicans stayed. at the one 2 meetings ago I was the only CR there and had to leave early for a CR meeting (I let president know & he just said it was cool, that there was nothing I needed to do).
--SO at one of these meetings the dems allegedly stood up (in an already long and tedious meeting) just to point out that the CRs had left ::) (either the time where I had already informed the president or at a time when there were still CRs there)

The one guy I suspect is a douche in general. He got kicked out of student govt for not following election procedure, I laughed. before that, the arts & sciences council gave him an "unfavorable recommendation" because of the election violations...he blew up and started screaming/yelling/and ranting in the meeting...I laughed hella hard.
this dude is such a tool

Crack is cocaine, so technically, it is like the frat kids are walking around with crack. You're just trying to defend your great school, even though if it happened at UC-Berkly you'd say that they deserved it.

Snorting cocaine and smoking crack are different things and crack is generally considered as ghetto, while power cocaine is high-class or whatever.

Post by: trust on April 15, 2007, 08:25:03 am

yeah so I came back from H-SC yesterday afternoon instead of today. Everything was going great until about 4am yesterday when I saw a bright line shine in the back of this girls Suburban and then a knock on the door and the words "Open up, Police!" I'm like "Shit, they think we're having sex." but it was ok because were both asleep and clothed and we hadn't even kissed or anything. That wasn't it.

The story is kind of long so uhh, you don't have to read it I don't really care.

The girl who I was with actually brought my exgirlfriend, L, there, since they were both at Sweet Briar for an accepted students weekend thing. Well she was in my bestfriend C's car and the police had stopped them. C got 3 misdemeanors and L got 1 (though she should have gotten possession of marijuana because she had an eighth in her purse they found...C got it and he only had a bowl with resin in it.) They both had minor in possession of alcohol and C had possession of false identification.

Anyway since the girl I was with, K, had brought L who is 16 and K is 18 L was K's responsibility. You see, L had her shirt off...I don't really know why but nothing was happening they were just sitting there. Anyway the cops came and got us because K brought L. I hadn't smoked anything but there was some in the car so when they had us follow them to the police station I put it in my pocket and when I got out I tossed it beside the building in case we got searched. We just sat in the waiting office of the campus police building and a sheriff from the city came in and was just making conversation with us, he said we'd probably be ok although if we had been drinking, though he doesn't care if we have been, we could get a DUI for being in the car. He got us Dr. Peppers and told us all cops aren't dicks. So they call L's parents and I overhear some of the questioning and stuff. Eventually one of the cops walks out and tells K she is free to go and he looks at me:

Cop: "How old are you?"
Me: "17, but my parents know I'm here."
Cop: "So you aren't a student here? What are your plans for next year?"
Me: "I've enrolled here for next year"
Cop: "Have you been drinking?"
Me: "I've had a little."
Cop: "A little?"
Sheriff: "Just enough right? :)"
Me: "Yes sir."
Cop: "Do your parents know you've been drinking?"
Me: "I assume not"
Cop: "How do you think mommy and daddy would feel knowing this?"
Me: "They probably wouldn't like it."
Cop: "How long are you staying?"
Me: "Until Sunday"
Cop: "Then I suggest you don't have any more alcohol, because if you do and we catch you know what's going to happen?"
Me: "I'll be arrested."
Cop: "Yes, and you can kiss your acceptance to H-SC good bye."
Then he said something about not being able to drink if you're a minor without a h-sc education and told me I was free to go with a strict warning.

So K and I walked to my friends dorm waiting on C to finish up. L was there until her parents came awhile later. C met us there and then we walked her to her car and C took L's purse (which was in K's car) in to her. That's when the cops found the weed so they had to search K's car (they found an open bottle of Malibu but just confiscated it...it was the cool Sheriff though.) C and I just went back and knocked on our friends dorm, he finally woke up after like 10 minutes and told us to just sleep on the floor (it was about 5:30 AM) The floor was insanely hard and I was freezing. It was a horrible nights sleep. I slept for about 13 hours last night.

We got up, showered, ate breakfast and left around 1:40. Apparently Laurens parents want to call my mom/come by because they think I'm some big pothead just because C had a bowl. I was halfway across campus when they got arrested and had nothing to do with them. I had been telling L we didn't want to hang out with them all night.

The actual parties were fun though. I was told to chug my beer and get fucked up by one of the admissions guys I saw.

All in all I lucked out not getting charged with possession by consumption or something. I think the fact that I was with a girl who was 18, we were both clothed and asleep helped my case. And the fact that I'm enrolled for next year and I was cooperative. My eyes were insanely bloodshot and I reaked of alcohol though so he knew I had been drinking...a lot. I just hope I don't get in trouble for marijuana when that really had nothing to do with my night, and I had nothing to do with L getting in trouble.

The recent shooting at Virginia Tech has inspired me to collect historic newspapers. My teacher, also, collects historic newspapers [laminates, then puts it on her wall] and I'm going to start too with the shooting. She has the original newspapers from historic days, such as Pearl Harbor being bombed by Japanese, Germany surrendering during both WWI & II, Kennedy's assassination, atomic bombs being dropped, John Lennon being shot, September 11, Columbia, etc.

I think I'm going to buy newspapers from history from eBay.

I have the 9/11 one and I think the Pope's. Are you doing your local paper or trying to get big ones like the Times or Post?

Err tomorrow is orange and maroon effect day and I can't find my Virginia Tech shirt. I think I donated it to the CHKD or something, with me being a UVA fan I never wore it except on "ugly t-shirt day" last year at swim practice. I guess I'll just wear some maroon shirt and orange jacket or something, idk.

yes! finally I scored. I've come so close all season and I finally did it with like 4 minutes left in the game. We had a double header so I was really tired and my coach was going to put me back in on midfield but I asked to play attack and he let me. I'm glad because if he hadn't I probably wouldn't have scored. One of my buddies tackled me afterwards.

I had 2 or 3 other close calls in those games but finally one worked out. Hopefully it is a foreshadow of what is to come the rest of the season. We only have like 7 games left not including finals and this tournament we do.

Then I illegally hit a guy and got a minute penalty but it didn't matter really since there was about a minute left in the game.

I have a pair of Altec Lansing speakers and I love them dearly.

I like to have them really cranked up -- Today I came to the comptuer, and didn't look when I was turning on the speakers and accidentally turned the Tone switch instead of the Volume switch. Well, I opened iTunes and it sounded kinda funny. So I'm immediately like OMG iTunes is broken! So I try it in winamp and it's the same thing... so then I'm like "I didn't blow them, did I"?

And then I looked over at the speaker switches and was relieved to see that the Tone switch was off by just a bit. :)

Its Physics I, the concepts aren't hard but we have a really shitty teacher. He does a "So how many of you know about X math thing that isn't suppose to be taught in this course?" and then two hands go up, "Well look at that, so anyways heres X math thing that nobody gives two fucks about or understands, just for you know future reference." Basically, if he got his head out of his ass and would teach us instead of just bullshitting it then the course wouldn't be that bad.

Yeah, ours is pretty bad as well. Aside from having a thick accent, he didn't use any of the technology available. He didn't to much more than talk with his thick accent and write on the chalkboard. I normally don't have a problem with that, but when the lecture has 300 people in it, it's difficult to make writing on a chalkboard readable from every angle. The department owns a couple of tablet PC's that would be readily available and the lecture room is fitted with three projectors/screens. There's also a digital camera to use in place of the overhead projector that he's very fond of as well as a plethora of preprepared demonstrations that he could use but doesn't.

I was told that he came out of retirement to teach. I guess he's something like 70 years old, so he's a bit spacey sometimes. He's normally a pretty nice and interesting guy, but I'd much prefer my physics professor from last year, who took advantage of nearly all of the technology available and normally had really interesting lectures. Plus, he had his PhD from MIT!

I actually like it when teachers go off on those sorts of tangents, as long as they don't last long enough to disrupt the flow of the course. My Calc professor does that a lot, but they're normally very interesting (though rarely useful for the course) and I really like it. Most of my peers complain about it (and I did too for a while until I realized he was covering everything he was supposed to), but oh well...

What is(are) the X math thing(s)?

I think it is somewhat likely that the most valuable things you will learn in first and second year will come through tangential comments like that. The canned mainstream stuff that they push in freshman course syllabus' is readily available everywhere, not the subtle little things that are hard to look up, or hard to know to look up, that will later become essential to understanding things that may be taught in courses.

I also bought a new case since mine is old, missing the side, and has poor ventilation. It's SOO dusty. I'm afraid something is going to catch fire. I could have put that money towards a new video card (using a 9200se right now) but ehh.

I took my AP Comparative Government exam today, and overall it seemed pretty easy. I finished the multiple choice with 20 minutes left, which gave me time to go back and do ones I had skipped or wasn't sure on (which was about 7 out of 55) and then the free response were pretty easy. I'm fairly certain I got 6 right, 1 I know I answered it right but maybe not in enough detail, and then one other one (one that counted for 25%) I know I got wrong. I didn't know what a referendum was. :(

there goes my hopes of a 5, and probably a 4 too.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: trust on May 07, 2007, 07:42:35 pm

Nope we had to answer all 8. The other ones were pretty simply (contrast Nigerian presidential power/Iran presidential power - that's the one I think I didn't elaborate enough on, and stuff like ways people can participate in politics under an authoritarian regime, bicameralism, political parties, and one or two other things.) everyone finished 30 minutes early so we got to live early, which was nice.

I put that a referendum was an internal check by the government to ensure corruption free and efficient practice. We had to put who can issue them in Britain and Russia and an example of each. I put PM in Britain and President in Russia, which I assumed was correct and then just said dissolving parliament and Britain and Putin's corruption crackdown in Russia. I doubt I got any points for that one since it's pretty far from what a referendum really is.

Ok, it definitely sounds different from what I remember. We had to study Russia, France, England, and China, and then choose 1 of the following "third world countries" - Mexico, Nigeria, or India. I don't think the multiple choice tested on any of those third world countries, and there was 1 (maybe 2) free response questions for the third world country we chose to study. I remember the first question (which was not specific to a third world country) gave us a choice between 3 different essay topics.

Yeah, that might be true. But they've already got three third world countries in there now (whereas there used to be 1 and it was somewhat optional). And France's political history is very interesting and more likely useful in mainstream politics. People should know about Charles de Gaulle, and the reformation, etc.

What I find funny is that when I applied via their online application in late February, I put under the "Other Technical Skills" section (any skills and experience not obvious from my transcript, recommendations, etc.) a couple paragraphs on what I've learned from my time doing Battle.net Bot Development... of course I didn't call it exactly Battle.net Bot Development :P.

Cool stuff. I've really enjoyed participating in research this past semester. I was in a class that was designed to teach (and perpetuate) research skills and methods as well as (this was the bulk of the class) do work on a real research project. We were working on a computer vision system which is classified as "biomimetic" (meaning it mimics biological vision. this specific system mimicked human vision). It was really fascinating and it was great experience in working with a smaller team (four people) as a subset of a larger team (20-30 people).

Though I'm going to be almost fully occupied with my summer internship (another programming job), I'm hoping that some of my team members and I will be able to continue some of the projects that have some loose ends. It was really fun working on.

My Physics final was today. I'm pretty sure I aced it, but the test was more "interesting" than I had anticipated.

About thirty minutes into the exam (which took place in the engineering building -- one of the larger buildings on campus), an electrical fire started on the other end of the building (or so I've been told. I assume it's correct, as I overheard it from one of the firemen present at the scene) and the alarms all over the building. The test room, filled with disgruntled students, along with the rest of the building was evacuated for something like 45 minutes. There were two full sized fire trucks as well as a couple other vehicles intended for this type of situation.

The unfortunate thing about this, though, was they only allowed us the remaining allotted time (which ended up being about 30 minutes, about an hour short of what was intended). I was able to finish the exam before they called "times up," but some of the other students in the class were complaining that they weren't able to finish. Since it was a pretty significant chunk of time, I assume that the scores will be adjusted properly.

It made for an interesting afternoon...

I am thinking I got a 4 on the AP Calc BC test. :/

The more and more I think about it, the more and more I think I got wrong. With the way I keep going I'll end up with a 3.

I'm pretty sure that thinking hard about your mark isn't going to cause it to fall...

My Physics final was today. I'm pretty sure I aced it, but the test was more "interesting" than I had anticipated.

About thirty minutes into the exam (which took place in the engineering building -- one of the larger buildings on campus), an electrical fire started on the other end of the building (or so I've been told. I assume it's correct, as I overheard it from one of the firemen present at the scene) and the alarms all over the building. The test room, filled with disgruntled students, along with the rest of the building was evacuated for something like 45 minutes. There were two full sized fire trucks as well as a couple other vehicles intended for this type of situation.

The unfortunate thing about this, though, was they only allowed us the remaining allotted time (which ended up being about 30 minutes, about an hour short of what was intended). I was able to finish the exam before they called "times up," but some of the other students in the class were complaining that they weren't able to finish. Since it was a pretty significant chunk of time, I assume that the scores will be adjusted properly.

It made for an interesting afternoon...

Newby's test was also delayed by fire alarm. I only know of this because his test delay resulted in my test delay.

Apparently the motion alarm going off = fire alarm going off constantly.

And the fire department wouldn't turn it off unless someone that worked there was there. And nobody was.

I'd guess that the average grade for our test was upped by at least 10%. 45 minutes where students are allowed to converse in the middle of an exam... yeah... lol.

Yesterday our alarm went off because someone opened up the gym door from the outside and threw in a smoke bomb. The fire department had to come and blow it all out and stuff. It smelled really bad too. We were only outside for like 10 minutes though.

this girl I know was walking down the hall and heard the "boom" and heard someone yell "get out"

I'd have freaked out.

Hah... me... exercise... :-\

I plan to change this though, especially when I go to college, but perhaps this summer. I'm kinda into tennis, and I may think about casual running (because my endurance sucks) and swimming (I used to be a good swimmer :P)

But I really do hate the need to exercise. Just like I hate the need to sleep. Next time I talk to God I'll ask him why he makes us do these things. Sometimes I drool at the possibilities of the future, e.g. no sleep, no exercise, and living longer, but then I watch movies like Brazil and shrug it off.

I did my essay on The Great Gatsby. I read it almost a year ago and didn't remember it that well. I can sum that essay up by saying I did poorly. I thought the test was difficult... Anyways I think I got a 5 on the AP Calc AB test I took yesterday, and I have AP US History test tomorrow!

Post by: Kaleeko on May 11, 2007, 01:13:33 am

I was considering doing Great Gatsby or Ethan Frome, as I actually read both novels last year, but I ended up doing Wuthering Heights instead, since, even though I didn't actually read the whole book, I read just about every guide to it available, and we spent the most amount of time on it in class. The essay I did turned out pretty damn good; I was able to milk a good almost-over 3 pages out on it with my irritatingly small handwriting. It was the second essay that killed me, haha. I wanted to stab that passage to death...

I don't get why people have such a hard time finishing books, yet they have no problem reading the Cliffnotes outline, or whatever. I find the books themselves are usually a lot easier to read than the pointform guides. I've always been the opposite - I don't think I ever really read a guide, but I always read the actual book.

*However*, I have not been required to read books like Great Expectations, so I may have been somewhat lucky in the books that were selected for me. Not that Great Expectations is bad, but it's extremely long and I can see it being hard to get through.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Kaleeko on May 11, 2007, 02:27:49 am

In the case of CliffNotes and MasterPlots, it takes me about a good 20-30min to get through most of it, whereas the book itself takes... A lot longer. As well, I don't have a lot of patience to actually sit down and ready anymore. I used to absolutely love to read, but at least lately, whether senioritis or what, I can't seem to even read a book I really /want/ to read (thus, the reason Atlas Shrugged is like 2 chapters from being finished and.. is not.)

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Rule on May 11, 2007, 02:41:34 am

Hmm, true enough. I guess it doesn't matter to me that I could finish a cliffnotes' in an hour, or whatever, because it would seem like an eternity. It's like the difference between playing Diablo 2 for 6 hours, and reading a book Blizzard wrote about Diablo 2 for an hour. Playing the game would be a lot more engaging and go by a lot faster.

Because you can print off the Sparknotes before class, or just read the relevant chapter summary for the class discussion and be good. I haven't read any books that were assigned this year in their entirety, but when we write papers (usually timed in-class AP style writings) I'll get an A or sometimes a high B.

Agreed. I always like it a lot more when the guy calls me, anyways. (Mainly because I'm lazy and not a whole lot compels me to make phone calls a lot of the time.) Haha. Just get a hold of her. If she says she was waiting for you to call, I'll laugh. ^^

Usually I am the one to call, however, the previous day she said she would call me about dinner and then hanging out, so I waited.

Eventually I text her asking what time she leaves today/if I could come by and say bye...she was packing (didnt do dinner) but said to go over, so I did.

Hung out with her and her friend (& her friend's boyfriend for a while), then they left.
We did stuff and fell asleep. She's real cute sleeping.
Woke up, gave her a nice back rub.

As it stands I don't think we're together anymore :(
She is in Albuquerque all summer (250 ish miles away) (visits are possible, but they'd be infrequent and we aren't phone people, although I would be able to talk to her on the phone).
Fall semester she is studying abroad in Thailand (of all God foresaken places ::)).

SO, I don't know. She said she'd call if she came down, I plan to go up for a day a couple of times or so...do lunch or dinner then drive back home (that's like a $150 trip each time cause of gas + whatever we'd do :().

All in all, I'm pretty down :'(
I'll miss her.

p.s. damn me for always "falling hard and fast" (not that I'm in love with her, but quite attached)

Yeah, I'm not looking to settle down, but I NEED stability. Instability makes me anxious. If I'm too anxious or upset I get sick. When I found out about my ex cheating on me (May 12, 2006) I eventually got sick for a week because of the stress.

Got some action, though :(. uhm, awkward cause she's an old friend (old like 5yrs or so). Pretty hot tho. At least it was the other girl that ripped off my friend's shirt in the rain and not me.
All in all, fun night at the time, maybe regrettable now. Well, if stuff is awkward with friend, regrettable, if stuff isn't awkward I'm up for it again cause she's hot.

So we won our quarterfinal game, I don't know the score but it was a pretty decent lead I think. The team pretty much sucks, they're very rough (my coach calls them thugs) and get a lot of penalties. I didn't score any but I had an assist, which I guess is decent but I feel better after scoring. I had some decent takes but the goalie stopped them, oh well.

I got hit pretty hard twice though, the first one I just got freaking laid out going for a ground ball. I kind of was kind of out of it and had an overwhelming pain my jaw. My jaw still hurts and feels weird when I move it. :\

Then later I caught a pass and got hit right as I caught it, I was right in front of the goal and got a decent shot off but didn't have enough time to place it well and the goalie stopped it. This kind of twisted my lower back though and that still hurts a little to.

There's no practice tomorrow so that gives me some rest time before the semifinal game on Saturday, though I plan to do some all-night lasertag Friday night and that probably isn't the best thing to get me physically ready for the game but oh well.

P.S. Does anyone have a pocket digital scale they're willing to sell pretty cheap? I'm looking to buy one.

So I'll finally have a decent computer at home to use as a server type machine, the question now is what sort of fun things should I do with it?

I've considered getting a TV tuner and providing a TV stream over the LAN but at the moment I have no clue exactly how to go about doing it and if it'd be worth the cost.

I've also considered getting a surround sound system for the TV/DVD player and then I can use the same system and play music over it.

At the moment the only thing really planned for it is a file server and printer sharing. So other suggestions are definitely welcome.

I also briefly looked into X10 stuff which could be lots of fun, but I can only think of using it to control lights so thats not as much fun...

So last night I did the laser tag lockin from midnight-6, went to breakfast and got home around 7:30. Went to sleep, got up around 11:45 then had the semifinals for lacrosse. We won, but the game was pretty much neck and neck the whole way. It ended up being 9-6 though. Tomorrow is the championship, and honestly we'll probably lose as we've never been able to beat the team we're playing. But maybe we'll pull it out, that'd be so awesome. I'm kind of upset lacrosse is over though.

Well it's not exactly something I planned on carrying around. I already have a small-weight scale that I've had since I was younger but apparently it's broken, so I figured I'd get a digital one. I just am not too sure on where to buy one locally and didn't really want to buy it on eBay. Forget I asked though since obviously nobody has one.

And I live in Virginia, why?

Screw all of you, if I want to sell a pound of heroin to impressionable school children then I will do it. (Disclaimer: I don't.)

Anyway, I'm stoked. Why? WE JUST WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP After losing to this team every matchup for two seasons (which makes 6 matchups, including last years championship) we finally beat them 10-9. It was such a close game, the winning goal was scored with 13 seconds left. I personally didn't score, but I played well. I'm pretty upset that this is my last game of my highschool career. I won't play again until summer league, but that doesn't really count. It's like I don't know what to do with myself now, I'm just used to going to lacrosse practice every afternoon. But this was a great way to end the season. It's just a sweet victory because the team we beat is a bunch of pricks, the whole time they were talking junk. Like one guy's stick was illegal and he had a goal removed because of it and he's like "it's fine I'll just score 8 more." Well, needless to say, he didn't. One guy tried fighting one of our players, at the end when we were shaking hands one said "good game to the goalie but fuck the rest of you" and a bunch of other stuff during the game. The referee actually called a contact foul on them and almost called another. Our team plays with poise though so it was all good.

Yeah. That money will be useful for bailing yourself out after you're convicted of felony perjury. Didn't we already discuss that?

So, I was talking on the phone today, trying to find a friends house.
Joe: Dude.. there isn't a 503 on 3rd.
Zach: Are you sure you're on 3rd Street and not 3rd Avenue?
Joe: Isn't it the same?
Zach: Haha, nope.
Joe: Fucking Baraboo, man..

Later on:
Joe: Well, I figured it'd be the same since 8th Street and 8th Avenue are the same.
Zach: Yeah.. they don't want people to get confused.
Joe: Like this?
Zach: Yeah, kinda.

Interesting day. Went to his house because him and his band ("The Victory" (http://www.myspace.com/victorybandthe)) was recording a few songs and I wanted to check it out. They never got around to it, since everyone just wanted to play with the synth drums (pretty neat..), but I played part of Anesthesia out of boredom and was they said that they might have me play a few riffs on their first album, so I'm pretty happy about that. :)

1. Whoever would put Native American, Black, Chinese, or Hispanic in to medical records of a person who is actually Caucasian. That's perjury. Attempting that in order to get money from the government is also fraud, and if I'm not mistaken, theft. You'll be locked up until you're too old and gray to care about the money that you didn't get. You're supposed to know this stuff, jeez.

So last night we had our team party, it was a pretty sad experience. :'(

I had a long thing typed out but I figured nobody will read it so whatever. Basically what's sad is my coach and his family are moving to New York so I'll never see them again. When I went up to get my service pin and what not (pin for those who lettered Varsity last year) coaches wife was saying how the scarecrow was dorothy's favorite and how I'm her scarecrow. When I was getting ready to leave a couple hours later my coaches son (our goalie) hugged me, he's a great guy and has a great lacrosse future...he was the best goalie in our league and is only a sophmore. I'll really miss him and he was definitely one of my favorite people on the team. He was always encouraging to me during the season and was telling me how I should try out in college. Maybe I will. My coach shook my hand, hugged me, and wished me luck in college. He's a great coach, I'll miss him a lot. His wife hugged me and told me how much she loves me and stuff then sent me home with a bag of chicken fingers and a bunch of cake. :\ This women is great, I love her to death. She recently won a battle with breast cancer but even through that she was still a huge asset to our team. Even their younger kids are all awesome. I mean I have so much respect and love for this family, and they're really been a huge influence on me these past two years. It was really a sad night knowing that I'm seeing a lot of these people for probably the last time. Sure I'll come back to some games next year but that won't help with my coach.

Of course in a couple of weeks it probably won't matter, but I never really realized how much this team meant to me. People always ask me how it feels playing for our rival school, and I always say that I don't think about it like that...it's just me playing lacrosse with some friends. I never really appreciated that as much as I do now though.

This actually ended up being longer than my other one, but whatever.

http://picasaweb.google.com/wmballance/SeniorPicnicPrank?authkey=LdRQjpXrdtY

Here are the pictures, as well as some from the senior picnic but I doubt anyone cares about those. (Mostly lots of black people dancing and some tug-o-war)

Anyway here are the prank details:

Around 10pm Monday night a bunch of girls went up to the school and chalked the sidewalks with "Seniors Class of 2007" and stuff like that as well as windows around the school with window paint. Around 11 me and 3 other guys showed up to dig 2007 in front of the school. After we dug it I drove home where my dad had been mixing concrete for me, we had bought 720 pounds but I only took 420 with me back to the school since I figured it would be enough and it's also what I could fit. In retrospect we could have used more because one of the guys kept digging twice as wide as I had instructed. We dyed the concrete red thinking it would make it stand out from the grass more, but it actually drys a maroonish color and kind of looks like mud or something so that was actually a bad idea. They don't make the dye in our school colors.

After we finished digging/concreting we went around the school and put "For Sale By Owner - 612-2007" signs and "Sorry we're closed" signs on the main entrances, as well as a for sale yard sign in front of the school. Around the concrete we put multiple stakes in the ground and wrapped caution tape around it, as well as some caution tape in a bush and around a trashcan. The idea behind the caution tape was that it would draw attention to the concrete, and also it would keep people off of it (we put "Keep Out" signs on the tape) Lastly we had a big sheet which we wanted to hang from the middle pillars in front of our school, but we ended up taping it to this school sign in front of the flag pole (which is about 10 feet from the concrete). There were a ton of cops that drove by, as my school is on a very busy main road. It's a wonder we didn't get caught, as we had many close calls. Our cops must be blind or something, because this area in front of our school is also VERY well lit.

Anyway, Tuesday morning was our picnic/picture. Most of the window paint had been washed off, and all but 2 signs removed. They also removed the caution tape from around the 2007 which surprised me. The concrete, of course, is still there.

It actually didn't turn out as clean as it had looked at night, and with the dug up grass around it it looks pretty bad. The caution tape really made it look more professional and put together. I wish the school had left everything up for people to see, but I can't say that I expected them to. One of the guys asked our class sponsor if the principal had said anything and he said that he'd talked to him many times but this never came up, and that he's probably ticked but not too upset. There weren't any announcements made and no faculty even mentioned it at the senior picnic. They took it much better than I had expected, considering we dug up their front lawn. I was kind of disappointed that more commotion wasn't made about it, but at the end of the day I'm still a free man. So that's good.

I didn't think it would be a big deal. Plus my bestfriend wasn't going to go because his date was 21 and you can't be over 20 so I figured I'd just chill with him. But yesterday this girl he knows called him telling him her date ditched her so he took her.

Our rival school wrote their name in hay/chalk on the stage/lawn on the East side of our school.

"GHHS 2007"

That was retarded. I think their overall rating went down. Everywhere. Even people at that school were like "Wow, we fail that bad? Fuck."

Real pranks are funny and tie back into something that your class did, something memorable that doesn't cost the school tons of money to fix. What you did, and what most "senior pranks" are, is vandalism.

It doesn't cost the school a ton of money, it costs them maybe 30 minutes with a shovel. We didn't do it deep with cleanup in mind.

They can buy seed or just fill it in with the grass that we dug out. I guess they're going to buy seed though since they cleaned up all of the grass we left.

I don't know what kinda crazy highschool you go to, but around here the schools would never be able to put in seed because people walk through the grass and it wouldn't grow.

So paying for sod and then the labor of putting it in and whatnot... now, that may not be alot and might be fine if it were a humorous prank and the administration enjoyed it, but your prank was merely vandalism.

Our school doesn't even have enough money to buy all the books they need for next year.... they already have to cut understaffed janitorial and librarian positions, among other things, just to fall within the budget. And we come from a rather large town (60,000+ people) with only one high school... I just don't get why people don't think education is worth putting any money into these days.

Hell! I wish I went to a rich school!
...those are the pointless things that our school system DOES spend $$$ on.

In addition to that we have 120yr old+ teachers that have such little control over classes that kids literally get up and leave during class, other young-stupid teachers that don't speak english (my french teacher [who only spoke spanish, some french, and a TINY bit on english] once found a 'raped book' under a desk and confronted us about it...only to get uber pissed when we lauged).
OLD ass text books. One teacher actually wrote his own book and we bought it from him (he had some copies if you didnt want to buy/couldnt afford it).
Horribly equipped rooms, bad chairs, no auditorium.
School spend money on the most stupid of crap.

...but by God we'll have condoms and a golf cart for the pointless security guards to have (they manage to put stickers on cars when they are parked wrong but didnt stop 4 car break-ins that happened in 1 week).

Mmm, if I had the choice between a brand-new textbook of my own versus a high school class and teacher... then there would only be three classes/teachers (one whose value is purely humor) in my high school that I would choose over the textbook. IMO, public schools are incompetent and a waste of time. And I went to pretty high-ranked public schools. But I also believe that if you're stuck in a public school, and you can't get out of it in a reasonable way that doesn't harm your future, then the best thing to do is to do your work and get good grades.

Post by: while1 on June 05, 2007, 08:02:10 pm

Thinking in parallel is really really really.... different.

Currently I'm working on the Standard Template Adaptive Parallel Library (STAPL) project at Texas A&M this summer for a Comp Sci undergraduate research program. STAPL an adaptive parallel library for parallel computing systems that's a superset of the sequential ANSI C++ STL. Basically its goal is to provide a generic C++ library with all the same functionality as the C++ STL and in some cases more (i.e. STAPL's pContainers, pAlgorithms, pRanges are the parallel equivalents of STL containers, algorithms, and iterators, respectively). STAPL looks to provide users/ programmers with the ability to write programs that take advantage of the power parallel computing systems offer while not necessarily requiring them to be aware of the additional complexity that's added through parallelism. Conversely, it offers the power to those who do with the option of using the framework at a lower level if they desire. Due to the wide variety of different types of parallel architectures and systems, STAPL relies on both optimization done at runtime, compile time, and at install time (i.e. user specific options and database updating). The particular parallel model STAPL supports at the moment is the Single Program Multi-Data (SPMD) model, which may change to include other models in the future.

This is just a simple description of the STAPL project. The actual CS@TAMU STAPL project page provides information that is out of date to a certain extent, but should suffice for a general idea. With that said, the project has undergone a lot of design changes on both a conceptual and implementation level in recent months which require the re-implementation of the majority of the code, as well as the addition of new code. To be brief, the most important conceptual and implementational changes involve how the data spread among multiple processors is viewed and locality, as well as how work is done and its relation to data locality.

But anyways, the specific topic concerning the STAPL project I'm working on at the moment is the reimplemention of part of p_sort(), which is STAPL's version of the generic STL sort() algorithm. What's different about p_sort() is that sorting is a much different ballpark in parallel than in sequential... as well as still actively being researched. The actual p_sort() algorithm consists of multiple types of parallel sorting algorithms, including but not limited to Column-Sort, Sample-Sort, Radix-Sort, and Bitonic-Sort. Depending on certain criteria, the "best" parallel sorting algorithm is chosen (i.e. architecture, type of data being worked with, etc.) I've actually been assigned the Column-Sort algorithm... which I've already implemented sequentially but is a different arena in parallel, and considering I haven't taken a parallel computing course and I'm doing graduate level work... it's tough, but very educational and interesting.

Ever think that MAYBE, just MAYBE that our presence is what got us into all of this?

Them and Hamas probably. Out of the extreme islamic groups Al Qaeda is the one that carrying out attacks around the world, just because somebody is allied with the US and we were allied with Russia during their occupation of Afghanistan. Most of the other ones are fighting for their homeland and such, and while their tactics are still horrible and I don't agree with what they're doing I think it's more justified than the dark-age mindset of Al Qaeda and others.

But it all stems from the mid-east, if we back off and they continue to attack civility from within w/out reason (because we've left the mid east) then we should initiate an EXTREME offense and eradicate all radical Muslims.

However, it is foreseeable that doing so may create more radicals. But we won't know that they'll continue until we stop pushin up in their lives

...As opposed to fighting them now, you're suggesting we back off..wait for them to do something else, and then attack them again? For some reason I think your logic is flawed.

Short Version: My teacher gave me a 0 on a paper that counted for 25% of our grade, which gives me a D in the class instead of the B I would get if I got a 61 or more. I turned the paper in late, and I'm guessing he didn't grade it at all.

I'm so pissed at my AP Environmental Science teacher, I hate this guy so much. He's a complete bitch. When I first got him I thought he'd be cool, he's an ex-hippie and I just know he did tons of drugs. But he's not, he's a complete bitch who does nothing. During class he sits and downloads music on iTunes and then plays it for us, we have a lot of days where we would watch videos that didn't really match what we were doing or just do nothing. When we were given assignments they were labs that even he couldn't do, or that were missing a valuable part. The work he actually collected either got graded very late, or not at all. The work that got graded was graded horribly, he would take points off for stupid things and when I asked to see what I got points taken off for he would just complain and give me a look or say he'd write it down but never do it. I mean completely stupid, I lost like 10 points for not capitalizing or something like that, I forget exactly what but it was comparable. My friend and I have turned assignments EXACTLY the same (we worked together) and he'd give me 5 points more. I'm convinced he didn't actually grade the assignments because he never put x's or comments or anything, just a number grade.

Now my school lets you check all of your grades/assignments online, well he puts assignments in the gradebook (sometimes) but never enters the grades. We have assignments in there from the beginning of the semester with no grades. It pisses me off that I have to do work and not get a grade for it. He altered his grading scale to 10 points (90-80 = A, etc.) because people were doing so poorly. Anyway, with that grading scale I have a B in 3/4 categories (Final exam, labs, classwork) the final category is "Tests" which accounts for 25% of our grade..and it only has one item, which is this research paper we had to do. (Yes, that's right, we had no actual tests during 2nd semester....probably because we didn't learn anything.) Anyway, I turned my paper in late (Wednesday actually, which was when I had my final exam.) It wasn't a great paper or anything but I didn't want the 0 because it would cause me to fail. Today I go check to see if he's graded it or the exam and I see he's submitted my grade as a D..I'm thinking WTF?

So I look at my assignments, he didn't grade my research paper (which counts for TWENTY FIVE PERCENT OF MY GRADE) and left it as a 0% from where I hadn't turned it in. I did the math and I need a 61 on the paper to get a B in the class. What the fuck is his problem?

Now I'm already enrolled in my college so the D doesn't affect me in that aspect, but when all my other grades are A's and B's...and I slacked some other years and am trying to graduate with honors this D is horrible. I hate this guy so much. I am going to go my school tomorrow and talk to him, and if that doesn't work with my counselor or principal. I think I might file a complaint about him too.

Following the Soviet Union's withdrawal from Afghanistan, Osama bin Laden returned to Saudi Arabia. The Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990 had put the country of Saudi Arabia and its ruling House of Saud at risk as Saudi's most valuable oil fields (Hama) were within easy striking distance of Iraqi forces in Kuwait,[30] and Saddam's call to pan-Arab/Islamism could potentially rally internal dissent. In the face of a seemingly massive Iraqi military presence, Saudi Arabia's own forces were well armed but far outnumbered. Bin Laden offered the services of his mujahedeen to King Fahd to protect Saudi Arabia from the Iraqi army.

The Saudi monarch refused bin Laden's offer,[31] opting instead to allow U.S. and allied forces to deploy on Saudi territory. The deployment angered Bin Laden, as he believed the presence of foreign troops in the "land of the two mosques" (Mecca and Medina) profaned sacred soil. After speaking publicly against the Saudi government for harboring American troops, he was quickly forced into exile to Sudan and on April 9, 1994 his Saudi citizenship was revoked.[32] His family publicly disowned him. There is controversy over whether and to what extent he continued to garner support from members of his family and/or the Saudi government.[33]

Shortly afterwards, the movement that came to be known as al-Qaeda was formed.

It's a county mandate here that all students are excused from all classes if they take an AP exam. No teachers can order otherwise, but sometimes they try.

Right. He just said "You're done for the year", but on the day of the exam the teachers have to excuse us which I think is what he was saying.

Anyway I went to this guy and he tried telling me that changing the grade for my report (which accounts for 25% of my grade) wouldn't change my grade from a D. He then tried telling me that it really doesn't count for 25%, so I showed him it does. He told me would fix it and give me a C, but I wanted a B because I knew my paper deserved a 61 at least, even though it was late and I didn't turn in notecards. I told him that turning it in late doesn't constitute a 0 and that there was no point in me doing it if he did. He then brought up how I had missing assignments, and I told him that I did them and turned them in. He either denied that I did it or said it was too late, my response being: why did he make me do them? See it's hard to know what to turn in because he doesn't collect anything so a lot of assignments were turned it late just because I didn't know they were collected. He then removed my 0 and just left it blank, giving me an 85 (which is a C, but we're on a 10 point scale like I said so it'd be a B) but he said he wouldn't override the grade to make it a B. I'm thinking wtf, that's pretty unfair. So I fought that. He then said he would give me a B "as a present" (even though that's what I was supposed to have and what I've had all year long). I didn't believe him because he refused to do it in front of me, but I checked later and he gave me a 70 on my paper which bumped me up to a B. He had told me earlier (when he was threatening to put 0's in for all of my "missing" assignments) that my paper got a 60. I don't think he even read it, but I don't care because I got my B.

I dislike that guy so much. So my final grades are 3 A's and 2 B's. I hope that's enough to bump my gpa up. I did have 3 B's but I turned in this really old assignment to my world history teacher (which I hadnt done because I was absent and she said it wouldnt really affect my grade so I didn't bother) I did the math though and getting 100 on that and then these 15 bonus points I had for my exam would give me an A, so I did the assignment this morning and took it to her. Now I have an A. She's awesome, she's young and hot and I want to bang her.

Edit: Oh yeah and this guy tried telling me I had a D because I didn't do well on the final, which I got a B on. Err

Do you really? Well, I think you're wrong. Why? Because we aren't there acting as missionaries challenging their belief system...we are there trying to protect them from people who want nothing but to oppress and harm. I think you would find a large majority of them (meaning the non-terrorist ones) appreciate what we have done, they for once are getting [free] elections, they get luxuries like cell phones, non-government run television, etc. Stuff that wasn't allowed under the previous administration. Sure there are a lot of killings in protest, but they aren't going to be tortured for losing a soccer game like under the previous administration. I wholeheartedly support helping these people and will argue it tooth and nail, as it's something I'm passionate about. Sure the war isn't going as planned, and more people are dying than anticipated, but the cause is sound. And before anybody goes into how WMD's were not found, chemical weapons were actually found. But I see the humanitarian reasoning as an acceptance reasoning for further involvement, and think this war would be more supported if it were the original reasoning given to the public.

Obviously we liberated them from Saddam, and we're protecting them from his supporters and those that utterly oppose any sort of individual rights or a democratic state. Sure, Saddam had elections but your family was killed if you didn't vote for him - I think that's more the reason they hated him, that and the whole torture chamber thing. Who knows though, maybe Iraqi's like being tortured...apparently they're too uncivilized for you to think they want or care about freedoms.

Your statements are so far fetched it blows my mind. Help them by letting them kill each other? Yeah, that's good for a fledgling democracy..full blown civil war. American forces are having a hard enough time with their guerrilla style warfare, do you think they'd have any chance from the terrorists just swiping up power and then all of our efforts would have been wasted because the same people would be back in power. While some of our society may not suite them due to religious beliefs that doesn't mean they have completely opposite humanitarian ideals, you're very quick to group the general law-abiding Iraqi's into the same group as the radicals we're fighting, seemingly just to make whatever point you're trying to make (anti-war?) Just because they live in Iraq doesn't mean they want to be oppressed, yeah, even the women. Look at Iran, Iran is a theocracy true but they have a ton of individual freedoms and rights and it has a very very western/Americanized culture. Women wear jeans, smoke cigarettes, do whatever.

Are you saying the Iranian muslims and the Iraqi muslims are completely different and only Iranians want freedoms, making Iraqi's the only people ever who didn't try to gain more freedom? I don't think so.

uhm, excuse me, but didnt the US of A go through a civil war? It seems to me that many countries go through some sort of inside revolution before becoming somewhat stable.

Also, if the radical muslims were in power and attacked us we would have a state to retaliate against, some some obscure group of persons that hide.

Aren't Iranian and Iraqi muslims different based on their stand point of the decendency of Muhammad? Also, Iraqis want freedom too, I'm sure. But I doubt that they want what we're trying to give them...they'd like a theocracy as well, I'm sure.

I think most mid-east Muslims see us as a threat, only the radicals are blowing themselves up in order to stop us

Do you really? Well, I think you're wrong. Why? Because we aren't there acting as missionaries challenging their belief system...we are there trying to protect them from people who want nothing but to oppress and harm. I think you would find a large majority of them (meaning the non-terrorist ones) appreciate what we have done, they for once are getting [free] elections, they get luxuries like cell phones, non-government run television, etc. Stuff that wasn't allowed under the previous administration. Sure there are a lot of killings in protest, but they aren't going to be tortured for losing a soccer game like under the previous administration. I wholeheartedly support helping these people and will argue it tooth and nail, as it's something I'm passionate about. Sure the war isn't going as planned, and more people are dying than anticipated, but the cause is sound. And before anybody goes into how WMD's were not found, chemical weapons were actually found. But I see the humanitarian reasoning as an acceptance reasoning for further involvement, and think this war would be more supported if it were the original reasoning given to the public.

But this is for the POLITICS forum. MODERATORS?

The same was said about Vietnam. My father, who was in infantry, and communicated often with the VC/SV, said they really couldn't care less.

Another thing: We're invading their religion, as Crazed says, but they appriciate it as Trust says? Makes plenty o' sense.

I want to only pay $4kdifference between car value + trade in. I want $20k for the car and $16k for my truck. Figure I'll start out by offering $19k for car and $18k for truck and see what they can do for me.

So I got my room assignment today, it's a little smaller than I wanted (14x18) and on the third floor of the oldest still-in-use dormitory in the country.

(http://www2.hsc.edu/studentlife/residence/images/cushinglg.jpg)

My roommate seems like a pretty decent guy, he plays lacrosse and sails and wants to be a lawyer just like myself. He's super excited like I am too, talked a mile a minute on the phone and rushed off to buy a Wii, a big stereo, and whatever else at Best Buy. He wanted to know if I was bringing a game system and I said my 360, and he is bringing a PS2 and I guess the Wii and some golf thing. He doesn't even play video games now though, he just figures we'll be bored. Whatever, I'm glad I have a roommate who's willing to go out and get stuff and not just make me handle everything. Though he wants to bring two couches and I don't think there's enough room for two. I think we should just have a futon and maybe a couple of recliners or something.

ughhh this sucks, I have no bathroom near my dorm room. The way Cushing is setup consists of 4 entrances ("passages") and then each passage has 4 floors and these all create the one big building. The passages aren't connected though unless you go outside and walk into the other entrance. I'm in the 2nd passage on the 3rd floor, which happens to not have a bathroom. (See floorplan) This means I have to go either to the 2nd floor or 4th floor to wash dishes or shower or cook or whatever, and the bathroom I'd be using would be used by a total of 11 rooms. That sucks considering if I were in 1st or 4th passage the bathroom would be used by 4 rooms (one being a single...so 7 guys instead of 22.) That is totally gay.

The bathrooms in most of the dormitories at my university are used by around 40 people. :-\

There are "suite style" rooms which have an adjoined bathroom which is shared with one other room, but I think I prefer the big bathrooms (other than the showering. that part really sucks) because they're cleaned every day and you don't have to wait to use it as often.

Post by: trust on June 15, 2007, 05:05:51 pm

I started my new job today. The guy I sail with introduced me to a guy he knows who needs crew for his boat (80 foot yacht, actually.) The guy is super rich (owned a chain of 48 gas stations/convenience stores and a few other things, he's very frugal though...he puts his car in neutral when going down hills to save gas and the captain warned us to not negotiate with him because he'll cheat us), and lives alone in this condo and is too old to fully run this thing himself. He has a captain that has run the boat for 15 years and came up last night from Florida to check on stuff and whatnot. Anyway so I got down there to get the lowdown on what the job will entail at about 9:30AM, and the captain explains for about an hour or so and asks me and the other 2 guys if we want to work today and we all agreed. Pretty much all I did today was work in the engine room (changing oil absorber sheets and stuff) and wash all the boat decks and such, and got paid $75. It's a little under the hourly rate that was agreed upon by me and the boats owner, but the captain just cut us all $75 checks so I really didn't say anything. It was decent for 7 hours of "work" which included briefing and him paying for our lunch at this local burrito bar which is so good (about $7.50 each.)

Another cool thing is the burrito bar I love going to anyway, and it's a block from the boat so I'll probably eat there a lot this summer. When you buy 7 burritos you get a free one, and I only had 2 on my card...thinking today will be my 3rd. Well the captain let me put all 4 on my card so now I'm only 1 away from a free one. =D

And the scheduling is for the most part very flexible, pretty much whenever I can work. The captain even offered to reschedule a boat trip this week to work around my schedule if I was unable to make it. Now there will be some instances where they'll need me and I'll have to come, but it's pretty fun work in something I like to do (even if it's mostly being a servent) and I'll learn a lot. Plus the owner of the boat is very well connected, for instance the captains wife got cancer and this guy was able to get like 3 doctors appointments for the next day for her.

The captain told us that the guy will be quick to take advantage of you though, that he's made his money by nickle and diming people, and those nickles and dimes could be yours and he has no conscious about it. Like when he looks at this one girls hours who polishes the brass or something, he's like "this boat is killing me" and she'll feel bad and knock off a couple of hours to save him money. He told us not to do that and to not negotiate with him because he'll win, to just write down our hours accurately (if you rip him off for even 50 cents he won't call back) and leave it with him and have him either cut you a check right there or mail you one.

no he doesn't mean not get paid period, he means not get paid properly. If you say give him your hours written down he'll cut the check there, or you can leave your hours on his desk or something and tell him to mail it to you. The idea is to not negotiate with him.

So I think I'm going to sell my Jeep and purchase a Isuzu Trooper, Grand Cherokee, or preferably a Land Rover Discovery. I can get a Trooper for slightly cheaper, but my roommate has one and I don't want the same car as him and I've always been attracted to Land Rovers (except gas mileage, but I won't be driving much.) I'll be in the hills though and the country so the off road capabilities will be nice even if I don't use them often. Gas mileage is a bitch but equivalent to what I have now. About a $5000 price increase though, which I don't have...

But I've put about 10,000 on my Jeep in the past year and a half and it's at about 103,000 now and when I graduate it'll be 12 years old. I need something a little newer and with less miles, as well as more cargo room.

Average new is like 240.

I think 1.75 just means the shower is just a shower and has no tub.

Just got back from the weekend at the lakehouse. I love going there. I basically spend countless hours on the lake jet skiing or swimming/diving off the dock. It's the greatest thing in the world for me.

Going to the lakehouse and having fun isn't the only reason I love it. It's just so... peaceful there; with the sun shining, the wind slightly blowing, being on the lake, being with all my loving, extended family, surrounded by trees, cousin playing the guitar, and of course, a dog. It's your typical TV show scene.

And coming back home.. sucks.

If you people think sparklers are safe and sane, you are absolutely wrong. As a meddler, I would like to tell you to consider this: aluminum melts and becomes molten at 1100 to 1300 degrees Fahrenheit, depending upon alloys, so you won't hold it in your hand or let it touch you. Your ordinary sparkler burns at 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, can put a hole in you, burn through your fingers, or take your eyesight with spatter within a fraction of a second. Don't let them harm you or young children. No one with any degree of intelligence should handle or hold a lit sparkler.

Post by: trust on July 04, 2007, 08:57:53 pm

I hate sparklers, I burned my fingers a lot as a kid on them.

Anyway: eventful evening last night

One of my lacrosse teammates had a pre-4th party at his moms house (not in my city, across the water in Portsmouth.) Anyway, so my friend wasn't drinking so he drove (my car) so that I could, and we took a wrong turn and couldn't find the house. Well we called his sister and we ended up finding the house. I get there and I only know the kid hosting it and one other person (not including Chris who drove me.). Anyway I didn't have any beer so that sucked because it was mostly byob, and my friend Patrick had a case and was bringing it (but he didn't get there until about 2 hours later) so I kind of just stood around. Chris' ex-girlfriend called him and he walked off (with my keys). I spent like 30 minutes looking for him because they needed ping pong balls for beer pong and I had some in my car. Well I'm standing in the front yard talking to my mom and a cop drives by slowly and stops down the street, so I run in the back and tell the kid what I saw and he tells everyone to lay low. (There were like 50 or 60 people there.) Anyway I go back out front and Chris is walking down the street, asks me if I've been drinking (I hadn't) and gave me my keys and told me to move my car. Well the cop was searching my car with a flashlight, so I thought I had parked illegally or something. Well I get down to my car and 2 more patrol cars roll up. I asked if there was a problem and he said they had a report that my vehicle was driving slowly around the neighborhood and the occupants were smoking marijuana. I told him we were driving slowly because we couldn't find the house but weren't smoking anything and he could search me/the car if he wanted. He asked why I was parked down the street and I really didn't have an answer, and he asked if I was at the big party with all of the cars blocking the road (lol.) Anyway the guy ended up just telling me to go back and tell everyone that they're patrolling and will nab people for DUI's but I asked if we were good if we stayed at the house (I was going to head home if there was going to be a raid, fuck that.) Anyway he said yeah we'd be fine as long as we stayed there. Everyone got scared though and rumors started going around and about 2/3 of the party left (including most of the girls.) I stayed until a little after midnight then headed home, I got pretty drunk pretty fast but I stopped at 7-11 and got one of those Simpson's squishee's and those were pretty banging. Then I called my exgirlfriend and talked to her from 1:10-5:30, kinda weird but whatever. She's going to come over tomorrow and watch a movie. (I had called her earlier that night because I forgot Chris' number when I couldn't find him, so I was asking her for it. When I got home I was calling to thank her again, but we ended up talking about her current relationship and I apologized for a lot of stuff. Tonight I'm just sitting at home though.

edit: oh and it was kind of ironic because my mom was like "Don't call me from jail" right as the first cop drove by. :P I have to be careful though, since last Monday I drove home (it was like half a mile and I had taken a break from drinking) and I got in trouble and my dad said if I get a DUI he won't pay for college. :-\

Actually she's dating my friend. We haven't talked in awhile though (at least not since they started dating) so I don't know good of friends we are. I know she would rather date me than him though (in fact she said it), and the other night she apparently said she loves me in front of her boyfriend. Anyway I couldn't see myself dating her again we just aren't compatible that way, so I'm going to try to not let anything happen if we hang out again.

Both of you (Zorm and Trust) should tell your friends what happened. One of the only things worse than being cheated on is being deceived about it afterwards. It's easy to cop out by thinking it's her responsibility, but it's something that both of you did, and you are supposedly the guy's "friend", whatever that means, I guess.

Trust, remember how outraged you were that your g/f stole that cheap crap at the mall? This is way worse.

And yes, women are slime. As I said, they love cheating, especially with their boyfriends' friends. It probably gives them some kind of cheap power trip. And Trust is right - whenever a girl talks about "not doing it," you know it's going to happen. It's as good as signing an agreement to do it right there.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: trust on July 08, 2007, 09:12:32 pm

Well I hadn't talked to the guy in over two months until last night. I thought things would be awkward (and apparently he thought they would too) but we worked together for about 3 hours last night and things were normal and we're going to hang out. I was invited to a party in the Outer Banks and we talked about getting a hotel (the first time I ever got drunk was with him at a hotel party) and going down to the boardwalk and stuff. I don't know if I'll be able to go to the parties because my ex will be there and I don't know what I'll say or do (or what she'll say or do.) Apparently she was really drunk on the 4th andapparently she said she still loves me to her aunt(?) and her boyfriend was in the room, she doesn't know for certain if he came in at that point or not, but still. And she admitted to liking me more than him and if I could guarantee that what happened with our last relationship wouldn't happen again she would leave him for me. I know we wouldn't work out in an actual relationship though, and this whole situation is actually pretty confusing to me since up until the 3rd I couldn't stand her. I was drunk and called her to thank her for giving me a number earlier in the night and we ended up talking for 5 hours and I apologized for everything I'd ever done. It's just weird how it happened. (we've talked every night since then. As soon as she's done hanging out with him (either home or he leaves so around 11:30-12) she calls me and we talk all night (4:30-5ish) Maybe I'll get sick of talking to her and things will be back to normal.)

As for her cheating on her boyfriend well, I think it's better left unmentioned. I don't want to devastate him even if we aren't that great of friends. I know she doesn't like the idea of cheating, but I know she wants me more than him. I shouldn't have had more restraint though knowing that I honestly have more influence on her than anybody else, she was the type of girl who liked me so much she wouldn't do anything to make me happy - and I don't know why that wasn't good enough for me. :-\

Being a teenager sucks because you're more or less forced to dabble with adult situations and it's harder to handle them when they get complex. Even if nothing happens between us again (but it probably will) I'm glad that we are on talking terms - she's a good person to talk to because she genuinely cares about me.

But I'm not telling him, especially when she doesn't plan on staying with him that much longer. The situation sucks though and maybe Zorm's is less confusing (which it probably is because she isn't an ex.)

I only wish that were the case. See my two friends have a very fucked up relationship. Its oftentimes out of the realm of my understanding. Like she took me home for Easter dinner with her family and such while he went out to party with another girl at a friends house. Keep in mind I'd only really 'talked' to her for like 2ish weeks at this point(and mostly because she got dragged along to a lot of activities).

So yeah I would tell my friend but she didn't want to make her relationship any worse with him(although I'm not sure thats possible, since they both talked about dumping each other off and on since I've known them). And the other bigger reason is that aside from being a friend hes a coworker so I'd end up seeing him around all the time anyways. There really isn't a good solution =/

Post by: Rule on July 08, 2007, 11:04:15 pm

You cheated with the girl because you were selfish. And now it seems like you're rationalising a choice not to tell the guy out of selfishness as well. It's totally up to you what to do, but the simple right thing to do would be to tell the guy. If you were him, wouldn't you want to know the truth? For me it would be a lot more awkward working with a good friend and hiding something like that, than being honest about the situation. Actually, I say that from experience - I've cheated on a girl, and have been cheated on - otherwise I wouldn't have commented in this discussion.

I van't believe this, but I agree with Rule.

Y'all need to grow some fucking balls and tell the guy that you fucked him over. Put aside your feelings, her feelings...neither of you are innocent in this, he is.

I was SO fuckin pissed when I found out it was a 'friend' that 'took advantage of' Jacque. The fucking night I found out he was being nice to me. When I found out (via Jacque's friend) it was all I could do not to cry or fucking lose it at the kick back. When we left Ipunched a wall, I think I fractured/sprained my knuckles because they hurt for a few weeks.
The denial from Jacque was the worst, I think. That or her telling me that it was over a mont ago and 'she didnt want hurt my feelings so she didnt tell me'....bull shit

moral of the story?
GROW BALLS and own up to your fuckin mistake. You'll regret it if you dont. be man enough to be able to admit you fucked up.
dont wander forward unwaivering in your ways when you know youre wrong, dont be like Bush (lol)

I was looking at it from the point of view that, well in order for my conquest of the world to be complete someones going to have to be crushed. May as well be him, right?

Rule: I'm not sure how the act was selfish, but yeah the not saying anything is. Of course I would want to know, however I can't justify the reason for actually telling him right now. I.E. it'd cause me more trouble than its worth. Sure, its not exactly the ethical thing to do, but I think ethics went out the window when the clothes came off...

I don't think I need to explain how retarded that reasoning is. I guess it comes down to a differing opinion of what friendship means. I've always defined a friend as someone who wouldn't further his own agenda at my expense. From what I've learned about you in this thread, I don't think I'd want to be your friend, especially if you consider this guy a "good" friend. Sometimes people are worth the trouble if you actually care about them. One reason I can't stand people in general is their selfishness and need for immediate gratification.

moral of the story?
GROW BALLS and own up to your fuckin mistake. You'll regret it if you dont. be man enough to be able to admit you fucked up.
dont wander forward unwaivering in your ways when you know youre wrong, dont be like Bush (lol)

I was looking at it from the point of view that, well in order for my conquest of the world to be complete someones going to have to be crushed. May as well be him, right?

Rule: I'm not sure how the act was selfish, but yeah the not saying anything is. Of course I would want to know, however I can't justify the reason for actually telling him right now. I.E. it'd cause me more trouble than its worth. Sure, its not exactly the ethical thing to do, but I think ethics went out the window when the clothes came off...

you why why the act was selfish, you're just trying to play it off to make yourself feel better.

We can tell you what to do all we want, but until you realize what you're doimg is horrible I guess all of our advice is falling on deaf ears.

remember, karma is a bitch

ok, but then zorm still needs to tell him so that his friend receives the kick, otherwise he doesnt get the action/feeling of the bad karma

I don't think I need to explain how retarded that reasoning is. I guess it comes down to a differing opinion of what friendship means. I've always defined a friend as someone who wouldn't further his own agenda at my expense. From what I've learned about you in this thread, I don't think I'd want to be your friend, especially if you consider this guy a "good" friend. Sometimes people are worth the trouble if you actually care about them. One reason I can't stand people in general is their selfishness and need for immediate gratification.

While the reasoning is retarded, it is infact reasoning. What you're suggesting is comparable to killing a person and then not looting the corpse because it would be morally wrong.

In this case I should have stated that they are both in-fact good friends. So your suggestion of betraying one by telling him what happened could easily end up costing me another. Basically at the end of the day the benefits of doing the right thing don't come close to overcoming the consequences...

I never said I was a decent or respectable person either, so I can definitely understand not wanting to be my friend, it happens.

I don't. I guess I still like her but I don't want to date her, largely because I want to be able to meet new people and girls in college. There's also a lot of things about her I don't like. I really enjoyed my time with her last night though and I feel like I'm back in that stage when people first start going out. She told me though if we hang out again and she's still dating the guy then I'm not even allowed to put my arm around her. She said that if I did make a move we would most likely do whatever, but it would be the last time and I need to decide if I want sex once or a lasting friendship.

Leaning over and kissing her is just so much of a habit and just feels right because it's what went on for so long. We probably won't hang out again or if we do it'll be very casually (ie not alone on a beach at night with nobody around.)

Edit: Just a btw: we didn't have sex or any form of it on the beach, we kissed some but that's it.

Totally unrelated to chicks, but my interview at Starbucks is in an hour. I'm split between hoping it goes well, and hoping that it doesn't.

If it goes well, I get a pretty cool job, make $$$, etc.

If it doesn't go well, I have plenty of free time to do absolutely nothing. Which is a lot more enjoyable than working. :P

$200 birthday check. $100 of that was free money, the other $100 was originally mine. I am a gopher for my dad (I run around and buy shit since he's too busy to get it himself) and more often than not, he forgets to give me money. So, I just bill him. :)

~$570 leftover now. Woo.

And two of my buddies flew into Arizona so eventually I'll visit them. They just live really far out and I think all they want to do is drink/party, and I don't want to do that out here. :P

EDIT -- I pretty much pwned the shit out of the interview. It was done in groups of three, and of the other two people only one of them seemed capable. The girl seemed kinda ditsy... wait a minute... she's probably perfect for the job! Fuck. :(

Anyway, if a store needs my help, I get a call in 7-10 days. I'm hoping nobody calls, though. The training period lasts between two/three weeks, and I'm basically gone in about five or six or so. I wouldn't make much $$ in the end. :P

So my dorm kind of sucks. I'm on the 3rd floor of the oldest dormitory in the country. It's divided into 4 passages (due to expansion, since this building used to be the entire college) so there aren't like traditional halls. I share my 'hall' with one other room, which is nice because we have no RA right by us, but then we have two RA's checking on us too (one from the 4th and one from the 2nd floor. So if one is a bitch then we're out of luck.) We also have no bathroom, and while 1st and 4th passage (I'm 2nd passage) have 5 people/bathroom I have 12-16 since I share with either the 2nd or 4th floor which sucks. My room is 14x18 which is a *decent* size, even though I'm used to more space in my room now and not having to share it. I'll adjust though. The furniture is in pretty bad shape for it to have been renovated in '99. The building is all full of bugs, there were dead bugs everywhere it seemed. My mom said she saw a lot of dead roaches in hallway corners but I didn't see any/wasn't looking. My mom said that if she had seen the dorms in their entirety earlier I wouldn't have been allowed to go. But in their defense it's summer and they haven't cleaned/painted/fixed the rooms yet and it's just how the guys left it from last year. You can tell that a lot of the dirt/bugs were just from lack of cleaning. The bathroom I'll be using is right next to a janitors closet but had a ton of dead bugs all over the place in cobwebs and stuff. I'm not too excited about that.

On the plus side I saw our new $22 million dollar library which is almost finished and it is just gorgeous. Letter couches/chairs everywhere, lots of open space, a big back balcony overlooking a pond. Rare books room, coffee shop, etc. It'll be a great place to study.

Post by: trust on July 18, 2007, 08:04:10 pm

Nope.

Alright so my step sister is in town until August and her and her friend came over to swim at around 10:30 that morning. Both of them and my cousin ended up staying the night. My step sisters friend was really cute, and my stepsister said she thought I was cute and liked her. She was flirting with me all night, and I liked her too. I invited her (and the other two) to come watch a movie in my room and at first they all said no but then she said yes. So I waited for a long time (after she pinky promised "10 minutes") and I sat in there on the bed with her lying down talking to her (I assume) exboyfriend. What's more is shes like rubbing my head and stuff while I sit there. Then I finally asked her if she was going to come (after the 10 minutes turned into like 1.5 hours) and she said she was tired/really really sorry. I mean I wasn't asking her to do anything, just watch a movie. We both liked each other so why would she just completely blow me off after all day asking where I was when I was at work and when I'd be home and like begging me to swim with her and stuff. Blah, teenage girls are so confusing.

I hope I see her again though, girl was so cute.

I'm not so sure that's the case. At least in the beginning of a relationship where attraction is more superficial than not, I think emotional maturity is much more important than intellectual maturity.

To be honest, the capacity to deal with emotions is nearly as important to me in a girl as her intelligence. :-\

So I got caught smoking pot last Tuesday with those girls that were over, and two of them (including my cousin, who brought it) said I supplied the weed. My cousin told her mom that I supplied it to her. What the hell? My cousin smokes weed like every day. Anyway I told my mom I didn't supply it (truth) so I'm not in trouble, but damn my own cousin narced on me. Apparently the girl I was trying to hook up with said the same thing so fuck her I don't want her coming over here anymore. My dad saw us on the roof and mentioned it to me but I just said they were smoking cigarettes because I didn't really want to get anybody in trouble but whatever.

Well yeah. My mom said she expected me to try it, but it's not OK to be a habitual smoker and she doesn't want me to do it again. She was glad I was honest with her but wishes I had told her sooner. She told me I should be able to tell her when I do something, but that doesn't necessarily mean call her and say "Yeah last night I smoked two joints and did 3 lines of coke"

And as Rule said, yeah I'm going away to college so she knows this stuff is going to happen and there isn't really much she can do as far as punishment. Sure she could ground me but I really don't go out that much unless it's to the mall, movies, lacrosse, or work - and she's certainly not going to say I can't go to college. Plus in her younger years (teenager-young adult) she did a lot of stuff, so she really can't get mad at me without being completely hypocritical. I know she tried marijuana, various pills, drank, smoked cigarettes, tried mushrooms, accidentally tried LSD, but she said her drug of choice would have been cocaine. (I always had a suspicion of the cocaine, even though she denied it for many years. One of her bestfriends was the largest cocaine dealer in Virginia/North Carolina apparently. I just couldn't see how you could be friends with someone of that caliber and not do it. But whatever.) Of course this is back when stuff like this wasn't as tightly controlled, but still...it's worse than what I did. I think she expects me to try other stuff, probably cocaine. I might and I might not, but as they say all white lines lead to H-SC so there's the possibility.

Edit: Just for the record, me smoking is a very rare thing. Before this incident I hadn't done it in like a month. It's not something I especially like either, as I always react funnily to it and never quite enjoy it.

True, I guess.

Anyway so today my coach sent out an email saying that there was a club team in town playing and if anyone wanted to play some lacrosse to come out at 5. I show up, and the game gets moved to a different city but it's alright. As it turns out this is a club lacrosse team from inner city Baltimore, in a place trying to as my (black) coach described it "expose the hood to lacrosse." Anyway I was the only person from my team, and the only white player (the only other white people were the two referees.) At first I was a little uncomfortable because they were all big and I figured if they're from the hood they might want to hurt me...and they were all adults/big. It was alright though, I'm 6'5ish and 185 and I had trouble pushing some of them around. They also wouldn't pass me the ball. I only got the ball twice, once when it had gone out of bounds and once on a pass but I missed the shot. Even if I was wide open they'd pass it to someone else. It irritated me but I understood it I guess because they are used to playing together and I just kind of joined in. Everyone I talked to was pretty nice though, but only a few talked to me. It seems kind of dumb to me though because they're this summer club team, with the adults consisting of a lot of Baltimore coaches and the youth team consisting of middle schoolers who are new to the sport. They came down to Southern Virginia to play themselves? It's not even like they're scheduled to play area teams or anything. It seems like a waste of money, unless they were just doing it because the kids probably don't get a chance to go anywhere. But still...it would suck to play your own team all the time.

So I went to a club for the first time tonight, stuff is fun. It would be more fun if I was 21 though. Anyway lots of hot girls (esp. the bartenders) and it was pretty cool. I didn't really dance though because I don't like the idea of just going up to a random girl and asking to, essentially, grind all over her ass....or, like most guys there, not even ask.

I was sober though, next time I know not to be.

So, my councilor (sp?) called, and said that I have a hole in my third period schedule.

My options are (I kid you not): percussion.

So I told her I'd decide between being a teacher's aide and 3D animation (options I "wouldn't want to do"). Right now, I'm down for "T.A. (holding)" so if any teachers need an aide third period, I'll be that aide. If a shithead/unknown teacher gets me first, I'll do 3D animation. I'm not looking forward to that, though. I've got no creative side. If a cool teacher/one I can tolerate/one that doesn't have a lot of work to grade (8)) picks me up, I'll grade papers. Like a bitch. :P

To sum up: taking calculus a year early + closed-campus system = screwed me over.

AND I sent spammers invites to gmail, assuming that it wouldn't come from my e-mail address. Apparently, one sent me one back:

Quote

Hello!!! It was very nice to receive a message from you!
it is my first time I try to correspond with a man in internet world.
I hope you will be enough patient to understand my writing.
I want you to know that I have only good intentions and I don't have
any secrets so you can ask about anything.
The thing is that I will go to work abroad soon, I'm a registered
nurse and I will have a special invitation to work over there and I
would like to meet a nice man to
be my guide or just be good friend to spend time with. I think that it
is hard enough to live in foreign town
without friends and also I have never been abroad. I am from so small
town here in Russia.
I want to see real life and it is impossible to see without a
person who knows all sides of the life.
Last few years appeared a special program "Work and travel" for young
people who wants to work abroad. And many people from all over the
world come to your country and it's possible to make good money over
there!!!
I also decided to do it! But I will have a special visa for nurses. I
already started to register
documents and now I need to decide in what city I want to work.
I'm 25 years old and I'm not afraid of work. I think it is the
right way for me, I am lost here, and I think that I look pretty enough
to find a better place.
I never been abroad so I decided to find a friend abroad and make his
city to be my destination.
Do you think it's possible to find a work as a nurse over there?
I want to repeat the same way,it is my only chance to change my life. I
am full of plans and different dreams.
I have real blonde hair and grey eyes. I think I look very good, but
first of all I want to be beautiful inside.
I do hope that you will be not disappointed to meet me in the real
life if we will meet.
Well,I will close this letter and I do hope to get your reply.
I will leave my town in few days or so (I can't tell you everything
exactly right now) and I would like to
be sure that I have a man who waits for me there. I will work all day
and I would like to find a
man to spend all free time together to get to know each other better.
if you have any interest to meet me I will be more than happy to meet
you too.
Maybe it sounds silly but I just don't want to be alone in the
evenings,and I want to be sure
in advance that somebody waits for me!
I think that my e-mail starts to be too long so I will tell you all
details about me and my life
that you would like to know in next e-mails if you will like my
pictures and will want to meet me! I'm sending few usual pictures for
you!!!!!!!!!
By the way, this is my personal e-mail address, so pls write me here
ok?

Only WAY recently did she get back together with the guy, and lastnight (@ her birthday) he proposed.

Well fuck me, turns out those rat fuckers at AT&T "made a deal" and my dad can put our area codes on his plan. So we aren't sticking with Verizon. Those motherfuckers.

It's a shame all the AT&T phones suck (including the ones running Windows Mobile technology), otherwise I wouldn't be getting an iPhone. I like my phone. It's a shame they have no basic phones like it (they all have a terrible interface IMO, including the keypad).

I guess the best thing I can do at this point is follow the people hacking it, and mod the hell out of it myself. :)

Apparently, all upgrades are done via the software, so there "won't be any hardware upgrades" required out of me. I call superbullshit, but whatever.

The only phone I've actually enjoyed using is this one. I liked my TMobile sidekick (for the AIM, NewbysPhone was my nick with it) but eh. And I had a SmartPhone similar to this one (http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?device=AT%26T+8525&q_sku=sku970003), but it got boring fast. :/

I was just asking since you're doing all this website stuff now if you wanted Macromedia 12 in 1, Photoshop CS, and 3D Studio Max 6? I don't use them, and can't use them because I have a Mac now so if you want them let me know. My friend gave me these a couple of years ago.

Someone who lives a few houses down from one of my friends got arrested after they found a meth lab in their house: link (http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/homepage/x83898918). The guy with the meth lab was dumb though. When they were collecting garbage, one of the bags from in front of his house caught fire after being thrown in the truck. Way to dispose of your chemicals properly :D

My dad's old house (after my mom/dad split) had a meth lab in the basement. Needless to say it was disposed of immediately, but we found a pipe in the grass out front a few weeks later! :D

On a just-as-evil related note, I have an iPhone. I've changed my title to trendwhore, and you may all call me so from now on until I dispose of the phone.

In the end, my room mates and I all have misdemeanors. Figure I'll call my boss on Monday mornin', see if there is ANY way to keep this off our record (that's what is most important to us at this point). If not, Tuesday we plead guilt and take the fine/court fees/community service.

If it was MIP they might place the case under advisement that way it isn't on your permanent record. You'll have community service and be on probation but that's it. Whoever your attorney is should stress how you have such high aspirations (public office, law) and one wrong mistake doesn't justify ruining your record. It might work unless your judge is a complete dick.

Allowing ourselves to be served/Minor in possession

They said if we pleaded guilty it'd be court costs and probably a fine just. A guy I know got $100 fine and a misdemeanor no his record for <1oz of weed. I'm hoping that they do deffer the sentence, give us a fine, and ask for court costs...something like that, so long as we can keep it from the record

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: trust on August 12, 2007, 10:19:07 am

My friend was charged with Minor in Possession, Possession of <1oz of Marijuana, and Possession of False Identification while we were at Sydney in April. He had his trial a couple of weeks ago, and he got I think 100 hours of community service for the MIP, like 30 for the weed, and the fake id was dropped out of "niceness." He has to see a P.O. every two weeks, have drug/alcohol testing, and is on a restricted license for 6 months (automatic with marijuana conviction).

Likewise another girl that was there just had Minor in Possession and she just got community service, and the judge took her license away. (Not suspended, he just literally took it and said she could have it back in like 6 months or something.)

None of the above convictions will be on their permanent records, and that's the main thing.

I just bought my keyboard at the end of July, and I'm afraid that they'll release a standalone bluetooth version during August and I'll be screwed. I guess it won't match my Macbook as well though.

I certainly know it's not the best but it's a huge improvement. Sadly, I'm probably paying twice as much as most people who have 5 meg service. I'm paying over $60/m.

Yeah, I would have definitely said something. I'm pretty sure that cashiers have to add up how much money is in their register at the end of the day and see if it matches with what it is supposed to be. I don't know if the difference comes out of their paycheck or not, but I'm sure it's a pretty big deal if their register is missing $50.

Her fault don't worry about it. Maybe somebody accidentally handed her $50 extra earlier in the day and you were the lucky person to get the $50 to even her cash register out, you never know.

While I dont mind screwing the big company, screwing the little girl that works there isnt too awesome

Technically, no. She handed it to him. It might be immoral, but it isn't theft

No, it's stealing. Taking money you know doesn't belong to you is stealing. And, since I know you're going to say something, it's not her money, so she isn't giving it to him. It's the store's money. It'd be like me handing you Newby's iPhone and saying "here, take it". I am not allowed to.

What would he get charged with? Theft? Theft is taking of property w/out consent.
Shop lifting? ...that's just an umbrella term that theft falls under in some circumstances.

He won't be charged with theft because an agent of Wal Mart, purposefully or not, handed it to him. And since there wasn't prior planning there would be no conspiracy he could be had under as well.

There is nothing TO charge him for.

What?

It wasn't the cashier's money, it was the store's. Money is traded for a deemed equivalent in product. If he got extra money without giving anything to the store, he has taken money from the store that was not his to take. IT WAS STEALING. Please do not try to argue with me on this. You will only fail.

Or he could just not worry about it because at the end of the day even $50 isn't that big a deal. If its the girls first offense and shes been there awhile I see it as unlikely that she'll get in that much trouble. Besides, these kinds of losses are built into the system and its not really the customers job to minimize them. If you look at casinos you'll see that when handling the money really matters and making sure every cent ends up where it belongs that they're willing to pay more and hire decent(non-high school) employees.

I've explained it. Twice. You're just being a douche.

Here's how it works.

Say you have $20. You buy something for $15. You get $5 change. Value is preserved, everyone is fine.
Again, you have $20. You buy something for $25. You get $5 change. You don't notice. It's totally an accident. You are taking $10 that does not belong to you. Theft. The cashier gets written up.
Again, $20. You buy something for $10. You get $40 change. You notice but don't say anything. You are taking $50 that does not belong to you. Theft. The cashier gets fired.

I don't know how to make it simpler. Leaving a store with more value than you entered with is THEFT.

Post by: Ender on August 15, 2007, 04:52:42 pm

This extra change / cashier thing is an interesting thorny issue that I think deserves its own thread. Moderators?

I think rabbit made a cogent argument and I agree that walking off with extra change and being aware of it is, by the technical definition of the word, by denotation, stealing.

While I agree that what he did is technically stealing, I am unsure of whether what he did is unethical. There are clearly many forms of stealing -- the word stealing has many connotations, after all, from armed robbery, to shoplifting, to pirating Windows and downloading illegal music -- and it is unclear which forms of stealing are unethical. I think the best way to judge the ethics involved in a form of stealing are through the consequences, as the fact that it is technically stealing does not suffice.

The two consequences of Hagen's actions are that he is

1) stealing money from Walmart
2) risking the cashier's job

The first consequence of his action is clearly ambiguous. First of all, it is comparable to downloading music illegally or pirating Windows. Second of all, this incident wouldn't even qualify for a pinprick on the biceps of Walmart's retail power; the company wouldn't even flinch, and the incident wouldn't affect the salaries of any of the other employees, as Walmart already has an excess of money. Furthermore, as it is for any big company like Walmart, it is uncertain whether Walmart deserves the excesses of money it has.

I feel that the second consequence of his action, risking the cashier's job, is also ambiguous when it comes to ethics. Does the cashier deserve to lose his or her job after making that mistake? If the cashier did it once, and with an exceptional till of $50, it is likely the cashier would do it again. The cashier could end up being a liability to the company. You cannot argue, of course, that the cashier's mistakes will roughly balance out, since more people will admit to being given too little change than too much change. Furthermore, if the cashier is fired, it will open the job to a more capable employee, who may even be in more desperate need of the job anyway.

On the other hand, is the cashier a mother or father or any other person who really needs the money to support him or herself or a family? It gets even thornier than this: if the cashier has financial troubles, are the troubles his or her fault? Was the money wasted away on drugs or gambling? Or was the cashier not granted have enough opportunities in life to be successful? Or is the cashier a high school student saving up for a nintendo DS, not at all a critical life issue.

In summary, I agree that Hagen's action is stealing by the definition of the word, but I'm not sure whether it's unethical.

Also, an issue that I didn't even touch upon is whether a person who admits to a court that he or she knowingly took extra change would be charged with consequences by the court. Like so many other ethical dilemmas, something that is stealing by definition is not necessarily stealing by the law.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: CrAz3D on August 15, 2007, 05:26:25 pm

Hot damn! I FINALLY remembered what I was trying to think of!

Hagen did not have the required state of mind to commit larceny.
BASICALLY, he needed to have the intent to take/deprive the owner of something but I do not believe that he had that intent when the money came into his possession.

Quote

The intent required is that one intended to deprive the possessor of the property "permanently". Courts have held that "permanence" is not simply keeping forever; it can include the intent to deprive the possessor of economic significance, even if there are plans to return the property later. Although the mens rea of larceny is the intent to steal, the focus is on the loss to the possessor, not the gain to the defendant. Thus, even if the thief did not gain in the taking, it could still be classed as larceny if the possessor lost in the process. Further, the mens rea and actus reus must coincide. If one rents a car with intent to return, then decides to keep it, then there is no larceny (see embezzlement).

You didn't answer any of my points. Wow. You successfully evaded every point I made. Congratulations ;-)

What do you refer to when you say "it" as in "it is unquestionably unethical". Are you referring to any form of stealing, as in, every form of stealing is illegal? Including downloading music illegally and pirating software? Or do you exclude downloading music illegally and pirating from stealing?

And then the question: What's the difference, ethically, between shoplifting and downloading music illegally? Consider the particular case of downloading music illegally from a struggling band in contrast to shoplifting from Walmart's. Do you think both are unethical? Consider the possibility that the illegal downloading is more unethical, as the loss is much more significant for the band than it is for an excessively rich retail chain like Walmart.

Quote from: CrAz3D on August 15, 2007, 06:14:43 pm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unjust_enrichment

That makes sense now.

That's a nice article you found there.

"Liability under the principle of unjust enrichment is wholly independent of liability for wrongdoing. Claims in unjust enrichment do not depend upon proof of any wrong. Having said that, it is possible that on a single set of facts a claim based on unjust enrichment and a claim based on a wrong may both be available. A claim based on unjust enrichment always results in an obligation to make restitution. A claim based on a wrong always results in an obligation to make compensation, but may additionally result in an obligation to make restitution. For discussion of restitution for wrongs, see the page on restitution."

So basically, if they can't prove that the person taking the extra change was aware of it, the person would have to return the money (restitution). If there is proof that the person taking the extra change was aware of it (committing a wrong) then there would be an obligation for compensation (analogous to penalties for stealing).

I think we can pretty much deduce from the content of this article that Hagen's action does qualify for stealing not only ethically but also by the law, as the law implies that knowingly taking the extra change is a wrongdoing that can result in legal consequences requiring compensation.

You didn't answer any of my points. Wow. You successfully evaded every point I made. Congratulations ;-)

He's gonna make a ~~terrible~~great politician someday.

Anyway, I'm going to say this: the average IQ is 111 (IIRC), and I'm fairly sure most of us are decently above that. Average, however, means that there are a lot of people both below and at that IQ level. Mistakes happen. I've entered $50 instead of $5 a couple times, and I think that if I were someone of Average IQ, I would have taken what the display told me (IE: change $45.05 instead of $0.05) and given incorrect change. Luckily, I've caught myself both times that's happened (just to let you know, $5 is entered 500 [CASH] and $50 is 5000 [CASH], an easy mistake to make if you're tired or even if your finger slips). Newer cashiers are even more susceptible to making mistakes because they are, well, new.

And stores like WalMart only make 1 or 2 cents profit for every dollar spent, so every dollar lost IS a big deal. If you come back and say "Hey, your cashier gave me extra change", odds are you'll get a "Thanks very much" instead of a pair of handcuffs.

Well, I just bought a Ford Fusion key for $58 shipped.

I trust that the dealer would rape me otherwise as they just quoted me $30 for a key, $40 or $50 for the FOB, and another $40 for programming both. $40 to program this stuff? Gay as hell.

I spose I'll just buy another key/fob on eBay sometime and do that myself

The school superfucked my brother's schedule up.

I have periods 1-5. He has 2-7. This makes carpooling very, very difficult, since I not only go to school an hour earlier than him, but get out 2 hours earlier than he does! My councilor and his councilor are morons.

He has basically all remedial classes even with 90-100% percentiles for his standardized testing last year. He has general science (basically remedial science, biology = college prep, there is no honors), college prep geometry (when he was the highest grade in his algebra 1 class), and he not only REQUESTED honors english/history and did the summer assignment for it, but he didn't get it either. So basically, he's in stupid classes when he's actually halfway smart.

So, to sum up: my councilors are dipshits. We're calling in to complain that they're fucking retards. Maybe they'll fix it?

And apparently it's spelled counselor. Oops.

Throw his counselor's position (as well as judgement) into question, then. In other words, tell them to do their job. If that has no effect, take it to the higher-ups and argue that the schedule he's been given won't provide much academic stimulation, at least according to the grades on his transcript.

If all else fails, I have a bomb ready. Just give me the word.

/me is at college.

I probably won't be checking this much the next couple of days as I have lots to do. I have a break now for another 45 minutes before I have to go sign the honor code. We actually called last night on the way here and they let us come in and move in early so I moved in from about 5:30-midnight, and then some today. We still need to organize everything and shit but it's so sweet here. I'm loving it.

it's a 2 person dorm. We actually have a lot of room I think. Tonight like 4 girls are coming over from a college down the street so we'll see how it works with groups. We had a guy over last night playing basketball and stuff.

We had our honor code signing yesterday, 7:30-10:30pm. This thing is no joke and it's a very solemn experience. We weren't allowed to talk at all, everything was down single file. RA's all took their kids down to this forum thing where we got an honor code lesson and what classifies a breach and such. Then we all filed out single file to this auditorium where the president spoke and we signed it one-by-one. It was very ritualistic, like when we're all filing single file to a building at night in coat/tie in the middle of nowhere. Oh and the "Today when you arrived you were just new freshman arriving at school, but tonight we'll be brothers."

Not necessarily. It depends on what you want to do and how much money you want to make. Many of the wealthiest people in my family, and in the world, do not have university educations.

It's true that to get a mid-level income job it is more likely that you will need a university degree. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or not though. It's better to just try and evaluate someone's aptitude. A university degree may be an indication of that, but there are often other, superior measures of this.

I'm going to have to agree with Rule on this one. A college degree can definitely make a person's life a lot easier, but it's not a guarantee for a spectacular job.

If you ask me what matters the most, I would say it really comes down to is competence in the profession and how hard a person is willing to work.

I love college so much.

Two nights ago a kid on my hall got alcohol poisoning down at the Kappa Alpha house, then he fell and hit his head and had to go to the hospital. He ended up being fine though, but KA is on 2 week probation for having a freshman at their house before Rush. The police and firefighters and paramedics were in our dorm that night though. My RA is really cool too as long as you don't like carry a can of beer around or are obvious. I walked into the bathroom with a can and he made me dump it out, but later I had 2 beers out of a Nalgene while sitting there talking to him in a dorm and he didn't say anything.

I met a bunch of sophmores who are friends with my RA last night and got an invite down to the Kappa Sigma house so I'm looking forward to that. Then 5 carloads of girls rolled up onto campus, from a nearby girls school. They came after their yearly lecture about how guys here rape women and "do you want to sleep on my futon" means "do you want to have sex?" and stuff. Whatever. One girl ended up going to the hospital though I don't know why, my exgf was telling me she heard it. Then early this morning I was outside and a guy tried doing a bell run (tradition here when after you get laid you run naked to our bell (we use a manual bell to end classes) and ring it and run back.) He was unsuccessful because he is not "Fucking Shaq, it's 10 feet high."

Funny stuff goes on here, but class starts tomorrow. We have a football scrimmage Friday though and Marshall Tucker Band is playing our welcome back concert so that's sweet.

My roommate and I don't really get along though. He's a complete douche. More on that later.

What? We don't actually rape women, women come here because we treat them right. Our entire foundation is focused on being a gentleman, in fact we have a hall contest called the "Gentleman's Cup." It's a very stressed thing it's just 4 years ago one bad apple sexually assaulted a girl and it tainted our reputation a lot.

But for instance, some girls got drunk and walked off with this girls keys who was with my ex-girlfriend. They thought that they had left the campus so I offered, and was going to, drive them back to their school (hour 15 minute drive) so they could be up for their 8AM honor code session. That would have been a huge inconvenience for me (they ended up finding the girl on campus) but it's the sort of thing that happens here. (And I wasn't the only one that offered either.)

Girls go weak in the knees for a southern gentleman.

It's a very stressed thing it's just 4 years ago one bad apple sexually assaulted a girl and it tainted our reputation a lot.

But for instance, some girls got drunk and walked off with this girls keys who was with my ex-girlfriend. They thought that they had left the campus so I offered, and was going to, drive them back to their school (hour 15 minute drive) so they could be up for their 8AM honor code session. That would have been a huge inconvenience for me (they ended up finding the girl on campus) but it's the sort of thing that happens here. (And I wasn't the only one that offered either.)

Girls go weak in the knees for a southern gentleman.

lol. It's sort of like Narnia, except in this case it's like you entered trashy fiction on the floor of a subway station, and there's a good chance you'll never come back to reality.

Yes. You're telling me what weather wasn't like, despite the fact that you live on the other side of the country. Also, I live where I live. I tend to know what the weather is like here.

You might, but 98/98 definitely wouldn't happen where you are living hence you being full of shit. I'd smack you as I promised my professor last year I would if I heard anyone saying stuff like that but unfortunately you aren't nearby..

Do you even know where I live? It happens quite often, thanks.

It's just a guess, but the quotation below could have something to do with deadly's comment. Also, drug use among HSC students doesn't really seem to phase you. IIRC, you vehemently defended your school's honor code and said cops don't need to be on your campus policing drug use.

Quote from: Trust on August 21, 2007, 11:22:32 am

I love college so much.

Two nights ago a kid on my hall got alcohol poisoning down at the Kappa Alpha house, then he fell and hit his head and had to go to the hospital. He ended up being fine though, but KA is on 2 week probation for having a freshman at their house before Rush. The police and firefighters and paramedics were in our dorm that night though. My RA is really cool too as long as you don't like carry a can of beer around or are obvious. I walked into the bathroom with a can and he made me dump it out, but later I had 2 beers out of a Nalgene while sitting there talking to him in a dorm and he didn't say anything.

I met a bunch of sophmores who are friends with my RA last night and got an invite down to the Kappa Sigma house so I'm looking forward to that. Then 5 carloads of girls rolled up onto campus, from a nearby girls school. They came after their yearly lecture about how guys here rape women and "do you want to sleep on my futon" means "do you want to have sex?" and stuff. Whatever. One girl ended up going to the hospital though I don't know why, my exgf was telling me she heard it. Then early this morning I was outside and a guy tried doing a bell run (tradition here when after you get laid you run naked to our bell (we use a manual bell to end classes) and ring it and run back.) He was unsuccessful because he is not "Fucking Shack, it's 10 feet high."

Funny stuff goes on here, but class starts tomorrow. We have a football scrimmage Friday though and Marshall Tucker Band is playing our welcome back concert so that's sweet.

My roommate and I don't really get along though. He's a complete douche. More on that later.

So you take pride in posting about your illegal activities such as smoking pot and drinking alcohol... yet you can't take a joke when people comment on how "gentlemanly" it is. Frankly, you can't have both.. either act like an immature youngin, breaking the law and doing harmful things to yourself, or you can be an adult and not brag online to people about how your awesome life is filled with sex and booze and drugs.

And before you attempt to save face by personally attacking me, I'm at least willing to admit I enjoy acting like an immature youngin at times. I have never considered myself an "upper-class gentleman", perhaps that's why I'm not considered a snob and a jerk.

So looking at what classes I've taken, after this semester I need 7 courses to finish my degrees and then a fair number of electives to graduate.

2 courses for GOVT major (one is research and the other is comparative politics)
2 courses for Law & Society supplementary major (probably constitutional law and Law & Society)
2 courses for PHIL minor (no idea what to take)
1 Viewing a Wider World Class (a class outside of our college. It will be brewing history & science ;))

Then I have like 20 hrs of electives to take :rolleyes:

After this semester I have only 34 hours left. So like 3 SLOW semesters or 2 decent semesters and graduate next December.

None of you attend here so you don't know the environment, I'm sure. I don't make attempts to "brag" about my life and sex booze and drugs, as none of the above are large parts of my life. I've done all 3, but it's an occasional thing. I've only posted here drunk one time that I can remember, so fuck that.

What I'm saying is the school requires you act with gentlemanly conduct (i.e. greeting people, respecting women, etc.) but that doesn't have anything to do with what you're talking about. It's college, this stuff happens - we just happen to have an additional set of rules.

The school itself has an official policy of having the students that are good people. What Trust has explained is that the school doesnt care or enforce that code. The students even shun police from investigating large cocaine dealing rings.
It's about the old boy system. Greed, corruption, secrecy, and illegal activities under the radar in general.

I think you're right. I went to a private high-school, and there was a similar mentality: "something can only be wrong if you're caught doing it." It seems like they're training them to masquerade as upstanding citizens as a denial of what actually takes place there; it acts as somewhat of an Orwellian "double-think" front for indulging all of their baser instincts.

I'm reasonably sure its got more to do with the fact that once you start getting fun things like free periods you don't really have a 'class' anymore. And as such its not appropriate to refer to them as a class. So the clear way is to start refering to chunks of time, which in this case is called a 'block,' and there you have it.

Now one can safely say that 1st block one is a teacher's pet, 2nd block one has a math class, 3rd block one has free and 4th & 5th block one has english class.

Neat how that works, huh?

Meteorology (metr for short). Its one of the 'hard' sciences. It sucks because in most of my classes my teachers skim over something because its crazy hard but they always add 'don't worry, for you meteorology majors you'll get to see this again and do even harder things.'

Well, our baseball tournament is this weekend. Today we won two of three games. The second game we lost due to several errors on our team -- the final score was 7 to 6. We were originally ahead 6 to 3.

The last game we OWNED the other team. Final score was 19 to 2. We would have got more, but we only play 5 innings.

Hopefully it doesn't rain tomorrow. :(

Anyway I just got back from the President's ice cream social. I have to go watch a movie for philosophy in an hour. I don't like how I have like a mandatory movie to go to, it interferes with other nighttime things (homework for other classes basically) I can either watch it from 8-10 tonight or 10-12 tomorrow. I'm actually missing a freshman orientation thing (College to career) tonight to go watch the movie because 10-12 is too late for me when I have 8:30 classes and other homework.

Classes started today. All of my professors can speak decent enough English, but my differential equations professor needs a bit of work. He brought up Newton's laws, and asked us what they were. The whole class stared at him because we all thought he said "Ethan's law."

Trust, things don't get any easier later in the semester. I would suggest trying to get to sleep earlier. Also, lay off the energy drinks. Needing them to get through the day is a bad thing; you shouldn't need them at all to get through normal days.

Guilty: Basically you say "I did it, my bad, give me what you will"
No Contest: Basically you're not saying that you did it, but you're also accepting responsibility of it
Not Guilt: "I didn't do it"

Plea bargaining happens in place of a trial, basically. You reach an agreement with the system and that is your punishment and what have you.

I don't see why you would accept responsibility for something you may not have done. If that is indeed the point of a No Contest.

Punishment can be the same or not, discretion of the Judge.

Also if you plead no contest you don't have to lie by saying not guilty.

Speaking of lying, I turned somebody in for an honor code violation today. The guy is a complete jerk and I don't like him, but I still feel kind of bad for turning him in. We were self-correcting a quiz in Spanish and he changed one of his answers. I'm on MY honor to report that, so I had to. I hope it doesn't go to trial because I don't want to be responsible for ruining some kids life, because most likely he would be expelled.

We are both on our honor, so it'd be up to the court to decide who is lying. Most likely they would believe me initially since I'm not the one having my honor questioned, and thus as a general rule I'm to be automatically believed. Also they have an investigator which is appointed by the student body president (our entire honor court and conduct court is student run) who does an in depth investigation including previous work (although this was the 1st quiz so I'm not sure how it works in this case) and teacher interviews/witnesses/etc. The professor said he'd look at it when he grades.

Two kids from the football were suspended for the rest of the semester yesterday for lying, actually. I heard it had something to do with drugs.

so it was like 100 this afternoon and now there is like a thunderstorm that is beating down on us. i was going to go grill stuff too :(

Lightning actually hit my neighbors house during this storm... his umbrella caught on fire and it took down a power line (or phone?). Good thing my house was right before the break :D

I'm a few pages late, but if a 3 foot fall damaged anything I paid more than $200 for, I'd be pissed. I've dropped my iPod going on a hundred times and no damage (except scratches on concrete surfaces, but that's expected upwards of 50!) and my old phone (finally did die, but I blame water damage) several billion times.

EDIT -
And my phone was $30. :P

Yesterday was our first football game against Johns Hopkins, we lost by 1 point (they blocked our field goal with 6 seconds left, it sucked) but oh well. Here are some pictures if anyone is interested:

HI!
Camping up near Los Alamos, NM this weekend, had a BLAST! Lots of drinking. We got there Saturday 1am, I crashed maybe 3am completely sober, woke up about 8am and there were 3 people still drinking. Sun came up and a buddy said "Sunrise! Tequila! HERE!" and then I had a shot of 1800 Silver Tequila, gooood stuff.
Throughout the day/inebriation my tequila-sunrise buddy broke out with blow guns and gum sugar dot things, those things HURT when you get shot with them (I have a welt from Saturday, still). I was never really completely trashed, which was good, and I do remember everything about the whole weekend...but that said I finished my 30 pack, a few more beers, some of my woman friend's (keep reading to know about her) Wild Turkey (a girl that loves whiskey is a girl that I love) and then other mixed stuff. No hang overs, either.

Met a CUTE and fun girl (she's a friend of a long-time friend). So I'm TOLD we were really loud (I'm sure you get my drift) Saturday night, I didn't think we were, but whatever ;)! She's super nice.
NMSU @ UNM football game on Saturday, might go up. Hang with old friends that are there and hang out with this new chick some, too. It's just too damned bad that we live so far away from each other.

I turn 21 Wednesday, 10 hours after my pre-trial hearing for my Minor in Possession ::). I will not be drunk but Saturday I probably will be at the UNM vs. NMSU game ;), and then it's legal.

Let's us know how it goes. Maybe since you're 21 in like.. a day... they'll just not bother. I know my friend's uncle got the cops called on him for "helping a runaway minor" (the real story is he went to visit his uncle, his parents weren't down with that) and the cops showed up, saw his age, and said "think you can hold out another week?" and left.

ANYHOW, defered sentence after 90 days of no alcohol violations (which means no DWIs & no buying for minors, unless I drink tonight and get caught which won't happen cause I'm not drinking tonight).
Buddy that provided the alcohol got 180 days.

Now to decide if I really want to go to the UNM vs. NMSU game on Sat in ABQ, I spent like $200 on GAS this past weekend :-\

Formal rush started Monday, continued yesterday, and the last 4 fraternities are tonight (total of 10 social fraternities on campus). Tonight is the big night because my #1 choice is tonight, I'm already friends with several of the brothers so it should go a little easier talking to people than the other houses. The house I want to pledge at is on social probation for hazing though so they can only have a limited number of rush events and can't have any parties until I think next year. That sucks. Oh well, this weekend will be good because everyones (well those that aren't on probation, which a few are for various reasons) going to be having their parties. Really only two frats had a party last weekend, and one was just a post-game party and ended pretty early. This weekend will be great though since we have a football game too. I can't wait.

Is it a device that's out of warranty? I mean, you say "xbox." Does that mean xbox 360? I was talking to my partner for one of my classes and he says that they've sent him refurbished boxes when his breaks (it's happened a few times to him, I guess).

Thank you! We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view, you ridiculous little carnival freak. In future, kindly proofread your posts before assaulting unsuspecting readers of this message board with a litany of misspellings, egregious grammatical errors, and other verbal atrocities.

If brains were gasoline, you wouldn't have enough to run an ant's go-kart around the inside of a donut. Generally, there is nothing wrong with having nothing worthwhile to say - unless you insist on saying it. Anyway, who was talking to you or even taking you under consideration? To quote Thomas Brackett Reed: "They never open their mouths without subtracting from the sum of human knowledge."

You light up a room when you leave it. No doubt your life is so dull, that you can actually write your diary one week in advance. I bet you thought it was just coincidence that your parents had the same surnames before they married? Maybe you wouldn't be such a Jerk-In-The-Box if you didn't have an intellect rivaled only by the Village Idiot's stupider brother; if your weren't so fat that your local 'All-You-Can-Eat' buffet had to install speed bumps, or if you weren't uglier than the north-facing end of a south-bound mule. Who am I kidding? You would.

In conclusion, why don't you go away and play Russian roulette with all chambers fully-loaded?

@ Sidoh: It's probably under warranty, but refurbished boxes are prone to break, too. We got a brand-new one, though.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: trust on September 06, 2007, 08:24:25 pm

It's a brand new 360 purchased in December of 06. It's still under the 1 year warranty and also has the additional 3 year warranty Microsoft recently did, so I'm fine. I just need to set up a repair request and they'll send me a box with paid shipping. The problem is the Xbox service website doesn't work right in my room (times out on login) so I have to go down to the student center and do it sometime.

I refer to your latest discharge of plebeian verbiage; in which, you have proven, once again, that there is no such thing as unutterable nonsense. You should offer your posting style to hospital operating theatres as a highly-effective alternative to unconsciousness-inducing medications.

Trying to get something of value out of your post is like trying to squeeze orange juice out of an apple. I understand what you are trying to say, even though you obviously don't. However, I'll consider letting you have the last word if you guarantee it will be your last. To quote Thomas Brackett Reed: "They never open their mouths without subtracting from the sum of human knowledge."

I'm busy trying to imagine you with a personality. Maybe you'd be less boring once I got to know you, but I don't want to take that chance. I'd get more pleasure from running my nostrils down a cactus, than reading another contribution from you. Maybe you wouldn't be such a Jerk-In-The-Box if you weren't intellectually outclassed by dead sheep; if your weren't so fat from all that cheap beer you spend your Welfare payments on that your belly jiggle is the first ever perpetual motion machine, or if you weren't so ugly that even the tide wouldn't take you out. No, come to think of it, you would.

Finally, why don't you go and get lost somewhere where they don't have a "found" department?

On the same point, I found out I'm a terrible teacher. I can't explain shit for shit. I had trouble trying to explain the basics of how printf and scanf work because I couldn't find a way someone who isn't computer-savvy could understand. :/

Did he say his PhD was in computer science? As long as he has a teaching degree, he could be "qualified" to teach in a number of subjects, I'd imagine. Is he old? If he got a PhD in CS 20 years ago and hasn't worked in the industry for a long time, it doesn't mean much.

I can tell you from experience that having a PhD doesn't mean they're good at teaching no matter what the degree is in or the subject they are teaching. Several of the professors here are absolutely terrible at teaching and they all have PhDs. It comes with the territory of college I do believe.

Lady friend I was talking about.
I met her last Saturday morning at 1am. That night we slept together. As I come to know more about her I feel as though I should get tested just to be sure.
She's really pretty and very cool, too bad she is in Albuquerque :( I think she'd be a cool girl to date.

I went by the state-run MVD, 20 people in line for the license thing and the guy at the desk told me 30-45 minutes. I wanted to laugh in his face.
I went to the private owned MVD Express and there was one guy in front of me finishing up getting his new license. I was still there like 7 minutes. No way in HELL that the regular MVD was only a 30 minute wait. Paid an $18.33 premium for it, though.

And whatever moron is in charge of NM Taxation & Revenue Dept. (Jan Goodwill or something) won't allow more private ones to open until the state-run office improve . Yeah, make sure the work load is high and hope business improves while adding no new facilities or anything...good job.
Las Cruces has, arguably, the busiest MVD office in the state yet they haven't expanded in years.
I bet the person in charge of our Taxation & Revenue dept. graduated from a NM school

So earlier at work today I copied, for the court, all of the pleadings we had for one case .
Why did I do this?
Because a family member(most likely) involved in the case (it is a contested estate) was looking at the court's file and then ripped out all of the court's copies of the documents. The person who ripped the papers out took off and they're not sure exactly who did it.

So for all organizations wanting to receive funding from either our Student Body government or our college council we have to attend some "finance workshop" (more specifically our treasurer and president do).

The 3 offered workshops are yesterday morning 9-930am, today 430-5pm, tomorrow 9-930am.
When did I find out about these? Today at 3pm. I'm the VP so I don't need to attend, but our President has bronchitis? Something like that (spelled correctly).

Also, college council meetings started last week, were we informed? No. Do I know who to ask? No.
The web page listing the officers hasn't been up dated since 2001 .

I attend such a slacker-oriented mexican school. God I hate this part of the country.

He was upset & drunk, a double whammy.

I'm still not completely sure as to what happened.
The girl's room mate cocked blocked him because she was mad about something and wanted to leave.

Just remember Trust, if the lines of consent are blurbed and alcohol is involved it might be rape.
While talking to one of my girl friends who works with the Alcohol & Violence Awareness group on campus I said that the other weekend the girl I was with took me to her tent. My friend said "that's rape" when I mentioned that a sober 3rd party observed that I really didn't have a choice in sleeping with the cute girl.
Moral of the story: I guess you can rape the willing (over & over & over again ;)!!!)

Yes, upset and drunk. Basically if a girl has had more than 3 drinks you can be held accountable, at least that's the rule of thumb here.

But here is what happened, and I'm only posting this for clarification purposes and not to be perceived as anything other than that.
So this one fraternity has some rap group here doing rap covers, and this is a big change from the usual jam bands or southern rock bands we usually have. Pretty much everyone was there, their deck was packed. At some point in the night some girl walks up to me and starts grinding on me, and this goes on for several songs (and inbetween songs) and somehow this leads to kissing. She asked me to her schools homecoming too, but I don't think I'm going to go. Her friends tell her they're going back to their school so she has to leave...that sucks but oh well, but then like 15 minutes later I see her again and she says that she told them to go back and she'd stay....so we start dancing, etc. again. Somehow 'more' touching occurs and it's pretty obvious we're going to hook up, or at least I thought so. At 2 her roommate (who I met a couple of weeks ago because I walked her to her car...but I didn't know it was her roommate) is like ok well I'm leaving, so since she drove this girl has to go back too. I had told her earlier that she could just get a ride back with this other girl in the morning and I thought that was what was going to happen. It didn't. Anyway so we exchange numbers and leave. I texted her and was like she should just stay, she said it's too late that they had left and if I really like her I can wait a week. Like 10 minutes later the 'concert' is over and that's when we should have been heading back to my room.

I'm not really mad about it now but I was PISSED last night. Anyway that's the story, and Rule fuck you on the gentleman comment, this is unrelated.

On an unrelated note, I was talking to a black friend of mine who went to some sort of conference for African Americans who are going to college in this area (Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, etc.). Well, at the conference, he stood up and said, "I know that you've all heard that there are no black people in Wyoming, and I am here to tell you that that's true."

We have like 2% black people, and there were only maybe 5-7 at the party, not including the rappers. I don't know why they chose to have a rap group but it was a big hit, I guess because they only played club-bangers which are easy to dance to and all you do is grind instead of actually dance. It's also kind of funny to be at such a white, conservative, (racist) school and seeing this, but I had a great time. And no I don't really like her, she said if I really liked her I could wait until homecoming...but I'm not going to go to homecoming with her.

Drunk people want to have sex, that's just how it is. When you're at a college and everyones drunk, that stuff happens. The school doesn't say go out and have promiscuous relations, but this is college and it happens. Compared to most schools we do act as gentleman, but we do have fun. All you do is criticize where I go to college.

I was going to ask the same thing, "how are they unrelated?" Would you say the post I quoted was gentlemanly? Saying it's something lots of people do doesn't make it unrelated, or excusable: couldn't you say the same thing about rape? Not that I really care, but it's funny that you pride yourself on going to a gentleman's school "that treats women right" and then make a post like that and then get indignant when I call you out on it. You know how at the academy awards when an actor wins best prize they show a little clip of the movie he was playing in? I had an image of you winning the HSC gentleman award, while a video clip of you typing that post played in the background, maybe in-sync with some southern music, which is what inspired my comment. :P

The school doesn't say go out and have promiscuous relations, but this is college and it happens. Compared to most schools we do act as gentleman, but we do have fun. All you do is criticize where I go to college.

UHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, from the parties I've been to we're (NMSU) more gentleman like than Hampden Sydney. I mean there will be hooking up and what have you, but not intense frustration when the girl leaves to go home. And we most definitely do not consider ourselves above the rest in terms of being gentlemen.

Sorry buddy, I love ya, but the way you build up your school and then the things you say about what goes on there ... I'm sorta glad I go to a bad/poor/crappy school

The trophy is just called that, it's actually awarded to the hall with the most school involvement (rushing, joining clubs, running for government, IM sports, etc.)

And I wasn't mad because I didn't hook up with the girl, I was mad because I was blocked by a girl that I knew...and she knew I was a nice guy. Really though I could care less what you guys think, it's not like your opinions will stop girls from coming here.

So, I come home around 8:30PM, and there's my cat, sitting near the corner of the room, staring into the corner of the room, which is odd. So I move some stuff to see where she's looking, and there's a ~2 foot rattlesnake coiled in the corner. I call my dad in to move the cat, as she looks like she's ready to attack, and that wouldn't be good. He grabs her, she freaks, bites him with all 4 big teeth (not saying fangs purely so that people don't confuse cat and snake) and also puts a pretty good sized gash across his fingers. So, after cleaning up the blood from that mess, we dropped a 2x4 on the snake, and smashed it to pieces. GG.

Good idea. Risk having it bite something living in the house as opposed to killing it, guaranteeing that nobody dies. Besides the snake. Who shouldn'tve been in the house in the first place.

We found a rattlesnake in our backyard once, our dogs were trying to play with it. My dad blew it apart with a 12 gauge. I was playing videogames, heard a loud++ gunshot, ran outside, and heard "No more snake."

So this weekend tentative plans have been camping @ the lake (I've known about this for a while but sort of assumed it wouldn't happen). Also, I talked to a buddy and we were supposed to go shootin' saturday afternoon (this was planned on like Tuesday). Furthermore, I had planned to ask a girl out for friday evenin (that can easily change as I havent asked her yet).

So buddy calls about campin, I'd like to go cause it'd be awesome.
Talkin to the girl and she invites me over to hang out (with others) friday night at her pool.

I spose I can reschedule shooting and date for sunday afternoon & evenin, respectively, but hmm. I could also skip camping and do everything and all

I think Newby said it.

Anyway I'm starting to hate eating here, I am starting to get fat and it's ugly and I feel gross. All I eat is carbs (pizza, pasta) since it's pretty much the best thing here. Other than that I'll have french fries and caesar salad. Then large amounts of alcohol on the weekends, it's really detrimental now that I'm not playing lacrosse or exercising. Freshman 15 is the worst, I'm just going to try and curve it before it actually gets to 15. :(

So might end up going to rodeo with her (Krystal) tomorrow, that'd be cool
HOWEVER, her room mate (Avery) is ever so slightly attractive. :o
I met her room mate a few weeks ago at my buddy's place...didn't know they roomed together as Avery wasn't there a few weeks ago when I was at Krystal's swimmin' and hangin' out.

I was at a small get together chatting with Avery, almost asked for her number then Krystal walked up (actually, walked by on the sidewalk downstairs) and Avery said "Krystal! Roomie."

hmmm, maybe I should, maybe I shouldn't. I spose just in case stuff doesn't work out with Krystal? Might that create room mate tensions? Do I care if it does?
I could just bring her over here and do-it do-it :D

Hmm, pondering.

I meant both ways totalling an hour, I assume you mean 35-40 one way? Still long.

My walk to class used to be about 20 minutes. Now on a bike it's 11 there and 7 back (it's up hill partly).

It's really a sad day. I didn't know the guy (he was a junior) but I knew his cousin, she was from my city and goes to a neighboring school. It really sucks though.

Went to car wash, saw her. Picked her up later last night and hung out for a while, however, she was texting her ex all evenin'. Worse: Her ex came and picked her up.

These are all rumors, we don't know for sure. We're waiting for toxicology scans and whatnot, so it'll probably be a week or more. I knew two of his cousins (that I know of) - one that goes here and one that goes to a girls school near here...they're both from my city. The guy that died isn't from my city but is from a big family in Richmond, and has a lot of people in Richmond that know them or are related to them. He has 5 cousins attending my school. This is definitely a sad time for the campus, as even though many people didn't know him..he was still our brother.

:(. I loved both Physics 1/2! They've probably been my favorite classes that I've taken so far.

The Physics program here isn't spectacular, but there's a professor that goes out of his way to make it interesting for his students (I didn't have him, but he wrote the lab manuals). He heads an organization called "The Little Shop of Physics," which is pretty much a traveling science museum. They set up all of the experiments one day out of the semester and let the students roam around and play with them. It was really neat to see what you'd learned in action (especially since physics 2 seems a lot more esoteric than physics 1).

I liked Physics 1 more than Physics 2. Like I mentioned, Physics 2 seemed more esoteric. There were a lot of equations that were pulled out of the hat that we were expected to memorize without seeing how they were derived.

I've accomplished a lot tonight.

2 summaries for 2 different zip codes based on 2000 census data which is EXTREMELY out dated, especially for one area I did. I have to now write 2-3 pages (can't remember) listing the dissimilarities. The paper is due Thursday.
I just finished putting laundry away completely for the first time in I'm sure well over 2 months (I had shirts sitting on my TV for a long time). I hung up 44 shirts :o.
Read a couple chapters out of the late Chief Justice Rehnquist's The Supreme Court, pretty sweet book.
Just brushed up on the Spanish-American War, also.

So I hung out with the lady friend from the rodeo & saturday night...yeah, dont think thats going to go anywhere.
Too much of a party person I spose. They're (a few people) over at her place drinkin and smokin now. They're goin to a gay bar/club friday night. Partiers of this caliber are not people I need to or want to be dating I think.

She was a lot of fun outside her normal partying group, however.

So for some reason I'm in a good mood today. I had like 9.5 hours of sleep, woke up exhausted around 7:20. Went to my first class, did the best I could to stay awake. She let us leave 20 minutes early so I went by one of the coffee shops and got a coffee went back to my room for 10 or so minutes then went to my next class. Somewhere during my 2nd (and last) class of today I was just like "Wow, today is a great day...I love college and I love it here" and it felt like some big burden was just randomly lifted off of me. I still have a burden though: 4 papers. I have a 4 page paper in Western Culture due next week (but we already turned in a 'rough draft'), then I have a 1st draft for a 3 page philosophy paper due tomorrow (haven't started), and I have a Government research paper due tomorrow (haven't started), and then I have another paper on Billy Budd due for Rhetoric on Thursday. It sucks, but for some reason I feel alright.

And the only one of these papers I've procrastinated on is the Government one, the rest I'm right on time with basically. (ie. we can't work on the wcul one until we get the rough draft back), the philosophy one I guess I'm a little behind on, and the rhetoric one we're supposed to start tonight.

I'm not sure of the right strategy for tackling this, but I'll probably just go to the library after dinner and stay there until midnight or so.

Quote from: U.S. Constitution Article 1, Section 9

"The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it."

1) You can suspend it Constitutionally, so, it's cool.
2) The Constitution says that the Writ of Habeas Corpus is a PRIVILEGE, not a right/liberty.

But still, just because it's in the Constitution that we can suspend the writ I don't think we should.

Just so we're on the same page, the federal government is given nearly unlimited power in times of emergency by the constitution. The way I see it no law abiding citizens rights will be violated unjustly, and if some terrorist's home is searched without a warrant because they plan to bomb something then I'm all for their right to be violated if it's saving hundreds of law abiding American citizens lives. (i.e. Brooklyn Bridge attempted bombing)

In addition with that the 2006 revision of the Patriot Act puts into effect multiple safeguards against abuse, so I don't see the problem. I'll post the paper and own you all if you want.

So the government should be able to ignore certain parts of the Constitution in the name of "protecting life" (by intruding on liberty you are NOT protecting liberty)?

Quote from: John Marshal in Marbury v. Madison

To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing, if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained? The distinction between a government with limited and unlimited powers is abolished, if those limits do not confine the persons on whom they are imposed, and if acts prohibited and acts allowed, are of equal obligation.

...

The constitution is either a superior, paramount law, unchangeable by ordinary means, or it is on a level with ordinary legislative acts, and, like other acts, is alterable when the legislature shall please to alter it.

Yeah, I think I just pwn'd you hardcore ;).

Last I checked, people who call other Americans "yank[ee]s" were part of the Confederacy. Why don't you make up your mind already? And the USAPATRIOT Act is a load of bull. It's basic structure is:
Page 1 - 500: random bull about America being great
Page 501: "The government can do whatever the fuck it wants"
Page 502-1000: more random bull about America being great

It got signed into law because it was too long and none of the congressmen actually READ the damned thing.

Remember when Bush authorized the NSA to eavesdrop on our telephone calls, emails, and who knows what else? Well, I'm not going to express my opinion on it, but here's a thought. Bush's excuse was that it was protecting us from terrorists. This reminds me of one of Dumbledore's wise sayings.

* * POSSIBLE SPOILER * *

Dumbledore said that Harry Potter's prophecy to face Voldemort was not necessarily inevitable. The encounter was only doomed to happen because Voldemort BELIEVED the prophecy was true.

Analogously, six years after 9/11, the fear of terrorism lurks in the air because Bush BELIEVES (or, dissembles) it to lurk in the air. It's not necessarily a valid concern, just as the Potter-Voldemort prophecy isn't necessarily true.

With that said, I don't believe anything that I just said, and I retract all opinions I may have accidentally injected into this post.

Orwell had a great deal of trouble publishing Animal Farm. He became frustrated, and wrote this preface, which he never decided to publish, and was published only recently. It's incredibly good. Orwell was a very strong writer and his mind was like a steel trap for social/political/politically influenced maneuvers.

(A few typos, since the author of this page must have re-typed it).

Edit: Excerpt

Quote

The issue involved here is quite a simple one: Is every opinion, however unpopular â€” however foolish, even â€” entitled to a hearing? Put it in that form and nearly any English intellectual will feel that he ought to say â€˜Yesâ€™. But give it a concrete shape, and ask, â€˜How about an attack on Stalin? Is that entitled to a hearing?â€™, and the answer more often than not will be â€˜Noâ€™. In that case the current orthodoxy happens to be challenged, and so the principle of free speech lapses.

Quote

I am well acquainted with all the arguments against freedom of thought and speech â€” the arguments which claim that it cannot exist, and the arguments which claim that it ought not to. I answer simply that they donâ€™t convince me and that our civilisation over a period of four hundred years has been founded on the opposite notice. For quite a decade past I have believed that the existing Russian rÃ©gime is a mainly evil thing, and I claim the right to say so, in spite of the fact that we are allies with the USSR in a war which I want to see won. If I had to choose a text to justify myself, I should choose the line from Milton:

By the known rules of ancient liberty.

The word ancient emphasises the fact that intellectual freedom is a deep-rooted tradition without which our characteristic western culture could only doubtfully exist. From that tradition many of our intellectuals arc visibly turning away. They have accepted the principle that a book should be published or suppressed, praised or damned, not on its merits but according to political expediency. And others who do not actually hold this view assent to it from sheer cowardice.

The author of this passage has expressed an idea I have thought of, which is freedom of speech. After reading that, from what I understand A confident man listens to people and has no problem with freedom of speech. Only a coward shall deny another man freedom of thought or speech, hence the western culture which is built on these fundamental ideas is far superior while lesser nations oppress thoughts and freedoms of speech (...) are typically suffering.

Hopefully this is appealed and overturned by the Supreme Court.

Why do you say that?

Because I support the Patriot Act.
And domestic terrorism?
People are afraid, terrorized if you will, that they are losing freedoms...and rightfully so.

When was the last time you had your rights violated because of the USA PATRIOT Act? How about your family members? Friends?

Isn't part of the situation that the PATRIOT act creates that people who are against the government are punished? And isn't the entire point of the American government to keep power away from the government? Democracy means "rule by the people", but when the government exerts extra control, the rule is no longer by the people, it's by the government. And that's no called "democracy" anymore, there are other names for that.

That is probably why I laughed :D.

So I can't decide if I have a hang over or if it's just a lack of sleep or both. I'm gonna go with both cause I had a fair amount to drink and man is it early.

Also, the girl I slept with that is coming, she is paying me for her ticket. It's all good now. Either that was going to be a REALLY good night (sex w/2 hot chicks at once, but unlikely) or a REALLY bad night (they would both punch me in the nuts).

So I called the Police NON-Emergency number today because there was this moron who decided he was going to BOOK IT in his pickup right threw a red light when a lady was going to cross. The lady gave him the finger and rightfully so... after waiting on the line for a few minutes, I told the operator what happened and she asked me if he was still driving dangerously, I said no because he seemed to be behaving for a bit in front of me. Then she asked me for his plates, I gave them to her. THEN she told me that I needed to go into a police station and file some kind of report... I was like are you kidding me?

Gosh the Police here are useless unless they actually catch people doing something.

Started drinking at 12:30PM, went to bed at 5AM. Fuck yes, Parents Weekend.

Saw that girl again, she came back to my room to watch a movie around 4:15. At about 5:50 she gets up and leaves and I'm like 'wtf?' I text her and apparently I kicked her out (which is stupid if I did because she was going to stay here) I don't see why I would do this. I think what happened was I fell asleep and was talking or something. I drank a ton though of both beer and liquor so oh well.

On a different note, people are stupid. A bunch of people are like "I want to save money...I'm gonna go buy more stuff brb".
One woman came in and spent $15 and she wanted to use a coupon for some meat. The coupon needed $25 minimum in order to work, so she's like "O. Let me get 10 Gatorades then". She goes over to one of the coolers (about 5 feet from my lane) and gets 10 Gatorades. She got the $25 and then I used the coupon. Her total savings: $1.50. Okay woman, $15 < $23.50. You didn't save anything, you lost money you fucking idiot.

So last night went to the football game. Tail gatin about 315pm, kick off was 6. Beverly Mitchell didn't play/show up so that was sad. Went into the game in a "good place" (almost buzzed). Left about half time.
Went over to Krystal's for a while and hung out, then went over to another buddy's for a while. Krystal was rather tired and drunk by the end of the night, took her back and we hung out outside of her building a while. Hopefully she calls me today, I hope? It'd be rather nice. :-\

Tailgating for 2 hours and 45 minutes and not even buzzed? You definitely don't 'gate hard enough.

Edit: I tailgated too hard yesterday for my moms liking. I leave my parents to go to a fraternity tailgate (I say they can come, but they didn't) and come back at half time smelling of bourbon, then a little bit after halftime I guess I took my sister down there to get some food - and came back smelling of bourbon. She's like "We come here to see you and all you want to do is drink." (Likewise Friday night, tell them I'm tired and get back from dinner at around 10 and don't go to bed until 3:45 because I was up drinking.) She thinks I'm an alcoholic, but my parents did buy me a case before they left and a 6 pack of Mike's so I'm confused...

This forum is EXTREMELY hostel. Loving Mom and Dads work long, hard hours and are smart caring people, but their children are just fighting everything they have and take for granted. Alcohol is an extremely common drug and each family has their own moral and tolerant level. It doesn't make them bad parents, but believe it or not it isn't uncommon to find alcohol tolerance within family systems...But there is lines to draw of course, tolerance only goes so far. My family also does not buy alcohol in mass anymore, only when they want to consume it..This is so I don't drink any alcohol.

But in certain circumstances, within private parties where alcohol is consumed by minors...It's OK to have some alcohol.
How ever minors of all social standards drink alcohol at parties or where ever they get it.. So it doesn't matter. Saying I'm fucked up isn't the issue here, alcohol doesn't help ANY one, and I am not "fucked up" thanks, I am actually doing pretty well, and I party and have fun, I enjoy being 19 and young and mine as well live it up a bit before i'm old and useless.

What are you talking about?

Drinking doesn't determine if one is a gentleman or not, and the majority of people drink. It's a process that goes back as far as civilization and once you're in college deadly I bet you'll drink as well. It's a social thing that is fun, as long as you do it responsibly and don't go overboard. Frankly though I could care less if you think I'm a gentleman or a low life drunk ard or whatever else you intend to call me, you are a what, junior in HS or whatever and are however many miles away from me and posting on a messageboard that really means nothing. You've disliked me for a couple of years now and I have no intention or desire to change your mindset towards me. That goes for everyone here.

::) drinking with your parents there? Seriously?

My mom doesn't like it, but she drank in college and knows I'm going to. My dad said they know that I'm going to do it regardless of what they say and he said if he didn't buy it for me then someone else would have, which is true.

I don't really see what drinking has to do with gentlemanly conduct.

So did my parents, that ain't mean I could opennly drink in front of 'em and all.
The first beer I had was just a small cup with my pops when I was like 4. I had a few little cups back when, but from about 6-18 there was NO drinkin. And even on my 21st when my sister got me a 5th of Jack (parents bought it) I felt odd. Just aint seem too right.

I've only drank in front of my parents once, and it wasn't yesterday. It was over the summer. (I had one sip of my moms beer yesterday because it was Rolling Rock, which I've never had and wanted to try it. But that doesn't count.)

That's cool and it's a personal decision. I just choose to go to parties on the weekend and alcohol is like peanut butter to jelly when it comes to parties, it's definitely an enhancer of fun. It also helps me talk to people easier and removes social inhibitions I have just talking or dancing with a random girl. I have a problem doing that even drunk too, for instance this morning with that girl...after all we had done 2 weeks ago all I did for the 30 or 45 minutes we were in my room was put my arm around her. I mean if she had stayed most likely it would have progressed, but after being THAT drunk you'd think I'd have kissed her before I even got back to my dorm.

Haha, yeah. I don't have a particular problem with people drinking, but, as with anything, I think there's a pretty agreeable line drawn where it becomes too much. This includes drinking heavily to the point you don't remember things, becoming sick, doing things you wouldn't think to do while sober, etc.

That's because Texas schools are hard to get into, well, good Texas schools. UT has a restriction (for law anyway) that only allows something like 10-20% out of staters and still hard to get into (from TX) as I understand.
Have friends here @ NMSU that come here because it's cheaper and they got in. The music programs there were too intense for their level of playing.

Ehh, it's that top 10% are guaranteed into the school. Whether or not they get the major they want is a different story.

http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/freshmen/admission/factors/academic/index.html

http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/freshmen/admission/factors/applicant-types/index.html <-- Shows no restriction on out-of-state, other than that space is limited.

What's frustrating is:

Quote

Because not all applicants have access to advanced or honors courses, we do not, however, consider the level of coursework taken (regular, advanced placement, honors, AP, IB or other) during the admissions process.

I took as many AP/Honors courses as I possibly could. And because of that, I had lower grades than the kids who took the lowest level possible at our school. And they'll get in over me. Frustrating, huh?

On a related note, the U of T @ Dallas needs to stop sending me mail. I'd much rather have the U of T @ Austin send me mail. :)

All graduate schools have restrictions. Calling undergraduate programs in Texas 'hard to get into' is a joke. I don't remember a number, but the amount of Texas residents going to OU and OSU is ridiculous.

Starting a highly physical job after years of inactivity = painful. Working in receiving my job pretty much consists of moving boxes off the truck, opening the boxes, putting stuff on the racks, and taking it out to the floor. I started working yesterday, and got there just in time to help unload over 400 boxes from a truck, playing a real life tetris game of sorts stacking all those packages in the tiny area we had. Today I put the alarm tag things on like 15 racks of coats. It's boring and tedious, but it's actually pretty relaxing.

For the most part there isn't anything that weighs more than 20-30 pounds, even the boxes that are huge. The place I work at mostly sells clothes, so it's not that bad. It is still really tiring though.

Yeah, it's not bad. We get big shipments monday, wednesday and friday. Taking stuff off the trucks is actually less annoying than the less strenuous stuff because at least I'm walking around, rather than just standing there, usually bending over constantly to pick stuff up and put it on a rack or whatever.

...sad thing is I know I'm going to be drinking tonight, I must have will power!!!

edit #2:
Wow, bad me.
So I have a date to a big dance in a couple of weeks, friends were coming down from Albuquerque (one friend I've known forever & her friend who I slept with, B). B asked if I could get her a ticket to dance, I said sure.
Today she asks if she can crash here (other friend isn't coming down).
Me being the non-confrontational person that likes to avoid people being maybe upset...freaked when I had to tell her she couldnt stay (I'm fairly sure she didn't know I had a date til I told her)

Awkward for me.
Feelin a little dirty thinking "hey, I just passed on an easy night of fun"
But feel better that I passed on it for a really cool lady that has the potential to be so much more than just "fun."

Especially since I've never heard of MacDonald's ;)

I have to leave for the fair in an hour :(. 10-4 I work there today. Then going out there tonight w/friends (& lady friend ;))

So last night we were hanging out at a large apartment complex. We're on 2nd floor, outside. The girls THINK they see one of the basketball players walk on by...::). They invite them all up, rather flirty stupid-punch-them-in-the-face like. Sigh ::)
Honest to God I felt embarrassed for how they were acting. Why do people get worked up over "celebrities" (I hate to think what would happen if there was a real 'name' there last night).

haha duh. they had this school dance thing (its homecoming) and informal one was tonight, they had people at the door frisking people and if you weren't a student you had to pay. I wasn't a student but I didn't pay or get frisked for some reason. Anyway I got drunk and went (this is a dry campus so girls weren't drunk but thats fine because they're all bl 10 minutes later a fight broke out and they closed the party even thought there was an hour and a half left. The only girl I was eying was this girl from Finland but talking to her didn't prove successful. :(

Oh well.

At the fair today talkin to my lady's friend from high school, he said he sells onion baggers so I ask "Mexicans" and he replied, "Naw, these are automatic, not manuel"
LOL!

Also, lady friend is a bit distant, spose it's ex-related. Shucks. Spose I ought to back off a bit and just see what she wants. Might mean Im back out & lookin again. Eh well I spose. Makes it sad if I turned down awesome sex for nothing, though.

Let me elaborate. I went to take SAT reasoning at the same high school as Newby, but he took the subject tests. I finish, call him, and we go get baconaters at Wendy's. We go back to his place to chill and eat, but on the way we pick up a friend who was literally roaming the streets and he chills with us. He suggests we go see a movie, so we go see it. The movie was pretty good, I forgot the name, but it was about the russian mafia in London. After that we drop him off at his friend's appartment and head back to Newby's. Leetmuffin meets us at his house and we go to my house and chill for a bit, getting some earplugs + using my cappuccino machine before heading out to a local death metal concert. We go to the local death metal concert, which pretty much wasn't too great but pretty awesome at the same time, and then we call Quik. We go over and pick up Quik, and spend a lot of time looking for something to eat and finally found Rubios :P. After eating there, we chilled for a while outside of Rubios and then I drove everyone home :).

I told a lot of people my school was better than theirs on Friday, and last night I told some guys where I went at a party. They gave me a little bit of flak since it's all-male but some were cool with it and knew people there/have hung out there. I had my college visor on though when I first walked into this party and a football player just hit it off of my head. I didn't say anything since most people there were football players and I didn't care that much....but that's a pretty trashy thing to do.

Oh, and I go to leave this morning and find that somebody toilet papered my car. Classy.

haha. My visor was knocked off randomly, I hadn't said anything to anybody about my school being better at that party (because it was a house full of football players that had lost their homecoming game 34-6 earlier that day, and I didn't know them..so they probably would just beat my ass or kick me out.) I'm sure my visor was knocked off either because he doesn't like visors or he doesn't like my school. I also didn't say how my school is better -generally- (like academics included) it was more of a party scene sort of thing, but that's understandable because they are a dry campus so parties aren't as easy to find. Apparently two football players were expelled because they were found with alcohol.

As it turns out my friends did my car. I know this because my friend who I was visiting posted pictures of my car on Facebook, and also this girl who goes there said "one of my best works" to me on MySpace.

A "gentleman" to me is more than how they treat people. It's a refined and mature man who has respect for all people and property and an agreeable set of morals to go along with it.

I'm pretty sure an acceptable definition of a "gentleman" is a "man of refinement," which is clearly more than someone who has the ability to be superficially kind to women.

Yeah, I spose not just specifically women...but you can bet drunk and still nice to folks at the same time then maintain a certain level of professionalism when outside of the drunk social situation.

Drunk at a party and then also a doctor or lawyer. You can still be a gentleman

I agree with CrAz3D, you are able to act with a certain mannerism yet also drink socially. Do you think plantation dances and such were dry? Of course not. If drinking in the South wasn't allowed, we wouldn't have bourbon!

I'd also say that I'm nicer, at least to most people, when I'm drinking - simply because I'm more social. I'll argue this point to the death, you're able to fit the idea of a gentlemen yet also have fun.

1) I'm not an alcoholic, it has never interfered with my life aside from my Minor in Possession and I wasn't drunk then, even.

Personally, no. I haven't had any caffeine since July 1 (which is last time I was on a plane). I don't even eat sugar (probably the most insidious of addictions) when it's avoidable. Although admittedly, I consume too much MSG (usually without realizing it)...

So can I accuse you (and all the suckers here who drink Monster and crap like that) of having an addiction?

Post by: Rule on October 13, 2007, 01:50:46 pm

You'd expect most people to say, "Yes, I drink coffee," or "yes, I drink coke." Ironically, I don't do either, so your lame defense doesn't work at all in this case, not that it would be particularly good even if I drank coffee and drank coke.

Are you really this stupid though? It would be pretty unusual for someone to call coffee, "good, fun, and beautiful", and complain how about he/she shouldn't drink coffee on Thursdays. Coffee is not responsible for families breaking up, for automobile accidents, or for health problems, or for markedly affecting one's judgment, unless it is drunk in quantities that usually no-one -- not even people who drink coffee far more than the average person -- drinks.

You look down on all of your friends who smoke pot, etc, as "worthless", yet you seem to regularly consume a drug that seems to affect people's lives just as much, if not more than, those other drugs. When was the last time you didn't drink for two weeks? Hypocrite.

Went over to Krystal's for a while and hung out, then went over to another buddy's for a while. Krystal was rather tired and drunk by the end of the night, took her back and we hung out outside of her building a while. Hopefully she calls me today, I hope? It'd be rather nice. :-\

EVERYONE I drove out there (to El Paso, TX from Las Cruces, NM which is about a 45 minute drive where we were) got drunk at the rodero ::). I'm not usually sober when everyone is drunk, interesting experience :D. Drove 'em all back where they got more drunk then I drove everyone home.

I am DEFINITELY in with the girl I took to the rodeo ;)!! Score ;D

Quote from: CrAz3D on September 03, 2007, 11:59:18 pm

HI!
Camping up near Los Alamos, NM this weekend, had a BLAST! Lots of drinking. We got there Saturday 1am, I crashed maybe 3am completely sober, woke up about 8am and there were 3 people still drinking. Sun came up and a buddy said "Sunrise! Tequila! HERE!" and then I had a shot of 1800 Silver Tequila, gooood stuff.
Throughout the day/inebriation my tequila-sunrise buddy broke out with blow guns and gum sugar dot things, those things HURT when you get shot with them (I have a welt from Saturday, still). I was never really completely trashed, which was good, and I do remember everything about the whole weekend...but that said I finished my 30 pack, a few more beers, some of my woman friend's (keep reading to know about her) Wild Turkey (a girl that loves whiskey is a girl that I love) and then other mixed stuff. No hang overs, either.

Met a CUTE and fun girl (she's a friend of a long-time friend). So I'm TOLD we were really loud (I'm sure you get my drift) Saturday night, I didn't think we were, but whatever ;)! She's super nice.
NMSU @ UNM football game on Saturday, might go up. Hang with old friends that are there and hang out with this new chick some, too. It's just too damned bad that we live so far away from each other.

I turn 21 Wednesday, 10 hours after my pre-trial hearing for my Minor in Possession ::). I will not be drunk but Saturday I probably will be at the UNM vs. NMSU game ;), and then it's legal.

Alcohol is good, fun, and beautiful!

Can you imagine how you would react if someone posted about some other drug like this? You are owned by alcohol.
And these posts mostly come from the last two weeks, and are only a small collection of the posts you've made about alcohol in the last two weeks -- I'm too busy to find more, but this should be embarrassing enough.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: CrAz3D on October 13, 2007, 02:45:39 pm

Naw, I just have good times. You should see my friends that actually drink :o.
AND THEN you should see people I've met that drink, THAT is sad/scary. They're the ones that'll miss class all week cause every night they were drunk.

I have never missed anything because I was drunk/hung over. I could stop if I so cared. I smoked (for a month or 2) when I drank a fair amount, but a friend wanted me to stop so I did. Honestly, if something bad happened to me because of drinking or a friend was seriously worried about my drinking I would stop. btw, when we were out one night I had to keep that friend from smoking. He wanted to go outside with me to smoke and was disappointed that I didn't bring smokes with me.
SO, not only did I stop myself from smoking I also prevented my friend (that tried to stop me from smoking) from smoking.

I have control over it. If I really wanted to stop, I could. Will I drink tonight at the huge party I'm going to? Maybe 1 drink as I have a date and I don't really care to put her or myself into a bad situation with driving (also don't want a friend driving us, if you catch my drift ;)).

Really, yeah, I drink a fair amount. I'm sure it has had an impact on the health of my liver. I'm also sure that I could stop whenever and just be fine and dandy. Really, I'm too lazy of a person to get addicted to anything. The worst addiction I ever had was coke and I just stopped drinking it because I didn't buy it anymore.
Sure I have a coke every now & again, but it's just when I go out to restaurants. I could do the same with booze if I so wished.
You don't know me so you cannot judge me that well. But, for now, I'm in college and I like to have fun so I'm going to regardless of whether you think I'm an alcoholic or not. Really, you should visit our school sometime...you'd be fairly convinced that I'm an average drinker...the heavy drinkers get arrested and the intense ones die (we had 2 people die about 3 years ago from over drinking, they were both 22+)

So, tonight's party could've gone better. Towards the end lady friend was feeling ill...but before that, even, she seemed somewhat distant. Not so flirty.

Maybe I should've told the gal I slept with to come down...at least she would've been a helluva lot of fun ;)! She was an awesome lady, too bad she ain't down here.

Spoke to (like in person, not via MySpace/text) my ex for the first time in over a year. (the ex that cheated on me). Grant it I talked to her a few weeks ago, but I was drunk so it didnt really matter. Still cant even look her in the eye :-\.

edit:
It'd be really nice if things were to work out with this new girl....but I think she's still too in love with her recent ex and I completely understand that as I remember being a wreck after jacque :(. ho hum

Actually, deadly, I did not have sex with her. She slept in my bed, but we didn't have sex.
She apparently wanted to talk to me more during the football game and stuff, that's one reason I didn't go to the football game because I didn't like her enough/she wasn't my type for a relationship.

Also, you don't know what you're talking about.

No, I actually only went to one when I should have gone to some of the others that had live bands instead of a (not so good) DJ like this one had . The fraternity I want to join though bought the beer for the party (they can't have parties because they're on social probation for hazing) and all of the brothers were there so I wanted to stay and talk to them since a lot of them are my friends. I didn't even make any attempts at picking up a woman.

Also earlier that day there was a brother from my #1 fraternity which rolled me from their tailgate and their house (they had their probation lifted from 3-8 yesterday) for no reason, twice (once from tailgate, once from house...and I was only on the house deck because a brother lost his sunglasses and I found them and returned them.) Anyway, so at the party last night that came up multiple times. A lot of the other brothers said they don't know why he did it and not to worry about it, that he was just completely drunk (turned 21 today so he was going big time.) The president of the fraternity had let me back on the deck earlier after the guy left and he found out that I'd been rolled, and then at the party last night he said not to worry about it and showed me pictures of what they did when the guy passed out.

But yeah, that's why I didn't look for a girl.

Party this weekend, not good. Just learned my date has been seeing someone (I've taken her out a few times while she has been seeing someone, I guess).
SO ... not only is there no chance with her but the girl I turned down from coming to swank and staying with me seems upset that I had a date. God damn it. I should've just brought the hot chick I could've had sex with! >:( >:( >:( >:(

That's what I thought.

But I got burned yet again because she was too involved in sex and not a relationship.

edit:
It seems like all of the girls I'm interested in are only interested in sex...so maybe that's what I should go for?

Probably won't happen, I generally think too much about their feelings....:-\

ummm....if they're interested in only sex, then you're going to be hurting their feelings by not having sex. Think about it.

And if that actually isn't the case, what's more important: your penis or their feelings? Exactly.

Yay for me at least restraining myself partially (like I didn't tell lanyone "what a bitch, she's seeing someone else!?"). As I pried more into the matter "seeing someone" became "seeing a psychiatrist" ::) ... way to convey the message people, I mean come on. When you say "seeing someone" after I'm talking about her being distant what do you expect me to think? Sheesh :D. But now I lol about it and continue to plot to get into her pants.

p.s. Not really get into her pants. Well, yes, but more so a relationship.

I'm old school and practice the "Friday is the new Friday" philosophy. I drank a little tonight, but came no where near being drunk...went to a different school about 12 minutes from hear and it was boring++++ and none of the guys there like us because the girls do so I got a lot of glares, but whatever.

I feel really bad and I don't know why, temples, forehead, neck, back of my head, all ache. I've had a sore throat all week but no coughing, etc. I don't know what's going on.

Missed all my classes today, running a fever and still felt horrible. I went to the health center and the strep test came up negative, but the doctor said it still might be strep (quick strep tests are unreliable) but anyway he prescribed me some medication, and they want me to alternate between advil and tylenol every 4-6 hours, so essentially I have to be on painkillers nonstop. This means I shouldn't drink because my liver has a greatly increased chance of bleeding, which would be bad. That sucks, so now I don't know what I'm going to do this weekend. It's going to be a slow weekend here (no parties really, fraternities all spent their money on bands last weekend and for next weekend (Halloween parties.)) I had thought about visiting a friend at Virginia Tech because their parties are really good but I don't even feel like it. :(

So pretty much it'll be a boring weekend.

I only drank a little last night (maybe a shot's worth of bourbon) and it just made me feel worse. I don't really have fun unless it's at a party, so tonight pretty much consists of laying on the futon and listening to music or watching tv/movies. My stomach is already going to be torn up because of the mixture of medications I'm on, alcohol would just make it worse. A night of boredom isn't horrible enough to exchange it for a hospital visit. The only thing I can really eat (or drink, even) is ice cream, and all of that dairy will also make things worse. This totally sucks.

I am considering going to do laundry, but I'm afraid I will fall asleep and not get up in time to get my clothes.

Set your alarm to go off when the laundry's done, then it doesn't matter if you fall asleep. That's what I always do, since I generally forget about it when I get busy.

I once tried to do this when I was dead tired. I woke up the next morning and realized I had turned my alarm off without knowing it. Since then, I've started setting two alarms to go off within 2 minutes of one another. That way, I'm already half awake after turning the first one off, and just when I'm starting to drift back into that kickass dream, another alarm goes off, and I'm up and at it.

yesterday yes, today not so much. I hope it's not mono, but I'll have them test me for it next week. I'm thinking it's maybe not now because, at least compared to yesterday, I feel a lot better right now. Maybe it's because of the painkillers and large amount of sleep I got, but in any case it's nice. I'm still kind of tired/weak and my throat still hurts but it's manageable.

hmm so kinda fun evening. I left around 6:45 Sat. night to go to an all girls school about an hour from here so a guy could visit his gf, he needed a ride and I wanted to go so I drove and two other guys went. We played a card game apples to apples for like 2.5 hours then we drove up and met another group of girls up on this hill where this cemetery is on their campus. We went in that a few times and stuff but mostly just laid out on the hill talking and watching the stars. One of the guys brought a guitar and sang songs and I brought beer and then I pulled my car up next to us and played music on that. Around 2 campus security came up and said that we're not supposed to be there after dark but that she didn't care because we were stargazing and not smoking weed. I thought we were going to stay there, and this girl who was kind of flirting with me who I kind of liked too (not sure how much yet) seemed like she wanted us to stay (before you call me a man whore craz3d this isn't a girl something would happen with, possibly relationship material) anyway two of the guys I brought wanted to leave so we left and I just got back at 5:30 AM tired as fuck but for some reason got online.

anyway goodnight

Buying booze for minors isn't wrong.

Unless you get caught.

It's still not wrong, though.

Unless it results in date rape.

But in that case, it's not the booze that was wrong.

ya know, the way rape is talked about these days women claim it too frequently.

ie both parties are SUPER trashed about both consent to sex. Then she wakes up screaming rape...LAME.
Or like the Duke case.

I was talking to a friend of mine who works with the alcohol violence whatever campus organization and she suggested that maybe I was raped when I had the one night stand a few weeks ago (because a neutral 3rd party observed that I my one night stand pulled me into her tent). Grant it I would be FINE if I was raped that night (she was super pretty & super fun), but I dont think rape should be used so loosely.

Although I disagree with your whole statement, you first three points don't really make sense. "Buying booze for minors isn't wrong, unless you get caught. It's still not wrong" -- that's a contradiction! Is it wrong or isn't it?

That last (spring) semester I'd like to leave completely open for an internship. But I guess that wont help my application for law school (since those will be sent in by Dec).

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: CrAz3D on October 29, 2007, 01:35:03 am

I can yeah...but summer before law I'd like to be completely lax cause the next 3 yrs are gonna blow :D.

I'd like to do an internship this summer....but I want to take the LSAT in June so I don't know how that'd match up with schedules. I KNOW I will not do an internship right before the LSAT, that'd be stupid. But I need to check to see if I can do it for the last half of summer w/Pete Domenici in D.C. before he retires (I'd get a HELL of a lot of great experience and connections out the whazoo doing on with him)

edit:
looking now, I can do summer2 w/Domenici. I have a (liberal) friend that interned for Domenici in D.C. and he said it freakin rocked working for the Senator. Plus, Domenici is one of few who actually pay you while you're there (you still end up spending @ least $2k I hear).
It would just suck to give up this job I have now. However, a strong letter of reference from Domenici's office and my current boss' office would look awesome for applying to law school

Not in those words, but basically.

A friend of mine got a ticket for doing 55 in a 35 I believe. He went through asmall town at 35 and started speeding up but speed limit outside small town was still 35...GIANT speed trap is what people from that area tell me. Anyhow, my buddy got a seat belt violation (the officer said it looks better on insurance?) instead...weird but cheaper and better on insurance.
This story is to contrast the "rich white boy" ... pretty much.

It's not guaranteed, just the judge in this town is apparently lenient with traffic violations. I'll probably get it reduced to a non-moving violation (no points on record or insurance increase) and will just have to pay a smaller fine plus court costs. I'm hoping that since it's my first offense I'll get it removed completely but it's not guaranteed.

Out here, if you do traffic school, it doesn't go on your record and there is no ticket. And that's offered for first offenses.

Although I disagree with your whole statement, you first three points don't really make sense. "Buying booze for minors isn't wrong, unless you get caught. It's still not wrong" -- that's a contradiction! Is it wrong or isn't it?

Drinking beer to get smashed is... wow. I can understand it if you want to be drunk and have to piss alot.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: CrAz3D on November 01, 2007, 05:29:14 pm

I don't drink beer TO get smashed, I just drink it until I'm smashed :D.

Really, though, I drink beer with food, playing games (beer games), or just leisurely (which is when I get drunk off of beer).
If I'm drinking to get drunk I'll bust out my bottle of whiskey pour it on the rocks...and chill. But because it only takes me a few glasses full of whiskey to get me TRASHED I don't do it like that. I might have one glass, then beer...mainly cause I don't want to be a beligerent person. Also, don't want to try something with any of my girl friends.

I went to a Halloween party last night at a school about 6 miles from mine, the guys there HATE us so I felt awkward. There were so many beautiful girls but I was afraid to talk to them because I didn't want to start a fight. There is this one girl who is friends with my friend who goes there who I met and I kind of like her, and I'm sure she knows because I had had enough beer to flat out tell her friend that I did when asked. I hope I talk to her some more. The girl my roommate is talking to stayed over last night and this morning when I told him about the girl she said she knew her and would put in a good word so that they can come over together and stuff.

Back home, just got home from the memorial service. It's a sucky reason to be home though. :(

Yeah, you know how my night went?!

We're going to the comedy club in El Paso, 7 of us (4 chicks, 3 dudes) [College Republics]. We could all easily fit in my truck, it might be tight so the fat chick goes in back with whoever lol. No, Gayle drives & all the girls go with her. Fuck.
We get to comedy club, MC & intro are decent, headliner is funny but starts fucking awkward jokes. Then I'm pretty sure he's a fag. He tells a waiter to bring him & me a shot (red slut? some fag drink). He makes a lot of awkward comments to my buddy who is from a CRAZY small hick town (where gay people dont exist, basically).
More queer jokes directed at the two of us we are QUITE embarrassed/red/awkward/etc. Then he says he is gay (duh?). Then he flat out hits on me some and a lot on my buddy. ie "Hey, you're 18, I like 'em young. You play sports? Baseball, yeah! You ran track and never blew a guy?" ... etc

Moral of the story:
I hope gay people go extinct soon cause they'll hit on you, make you feel horribly awkward (not good for me, I'm a super anxious person as it is), etc.

There ya go.
I assume because he called it a shot that it was something you'd only drink alone or if you're queer.

Don't get me wrong, it was tasty, but it wasn't a real drink.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Camel on November 02, 2007, 10:29:02 am

A red headed slut is not a shot by any means. It's something to the tune of 8 ounces of luquid.

You shouldn't hate all gays just because this one is an idiot.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: CrAz3D on November 02, 2007, 10:56:51 am

Yeah, WAY to big to be shot...but he shot it.

I'm beginning to dislike gays because more than 50% of the ones I've known/met/whatever do things directed at me that make me uncomfortable and they know it.
If I end up killing a lot of queers someday it would've been preventable if they weren't such queer bastards about everything. Much like the Columbine kids might not have flipped if they weren't picked on.

But really, I won't kill anyone, might beat someone down sometime for doing something queer to me.

Sometimes I think, "How could women possibly like him? They must not be interested at all in sophistication or sensitivity." Then I think, "Well, I suppose that's obvious, and most men aren't interested in those things either. Just the ones that are more likable, intelligent, and engaging, like most of the people I talk to." But then I think, "Wait, didn't he get into x86? How did that happen? Really, how? Almost unanimously? Not that long ago? Someone so aggressively stupid?" Explain?

What you mean is, they're too afraid to admit it, so they just hold it in and suffer their entire lives. Close, though!

In any case, if you don't want to be made fun of by a comedian, don't sit close to him.

...and right now I'm not acting like myself, I'm trying to scare off all of the fags. ;D

I'm sophisticated enough. If I want to I can carry on an intelligent conversation, but I don't really choose to do that online often. Most of my discussions happen with other friends...unfortunately when one of them is probably too drunk to even listen to anyone else. Unless I'm arguing with my room mates girlfriend, then I'm just wrong because she "one of those people." ha.

Well, I'm off to the football game to get drunk! lol.
Have a good one all!.

p.s. I just spent $60 on booze. $15 on a case of natty light, $40 for a fifth of single barrel jack, & $5 on tax.

So I went to my highschool vs. rival highschool football game last night. I sat on the rival side and cheered for them, fuck my highschool I hated that place. Plus I played lacrosse for my rival school for two years but only swam for my school for one so I have more athletic allegiance to that school. I got to see some of my friends from lacrosse so that was cool then I went over a friends friends house and had a couple brewskis and sat around for 3 hours. It was kind of awkward because I knew the one kid and had met the guy who's house it was once but other than that I didn't know anyone. I did get to meet this girl who was there though, I've liked her for like two years. Too bad she's a junior now though.

Today is my colleges last home football game and I'm missing it, but I'm not going to miss the parties tonight. My mom wants me to stay until tomorrow but I really don't want to.

The whole funeral thing was sad, but I had a couple mothers/grandmothers try hooking me up with their daughters/grandaughters. (Though wtf, they try hooking me up with people that weren't even there..how's that supposed to work?) One ladies daughter actually wants to meet me though.

Earlier today a friend (buddy's ex) was over & we all were hanging out. She got me phone & sent buddy texts saying that I screwed her & that we were having a kid. She cleared it up later, though.

No he's texting me "you fucked her, yeah?" like 10 times he's asked. I reply "no, I havent. plus it'd be against guy law since she's your ex" He replies I have permission (might have to take him up on that).

Just now he calls from the bar screaming "you fucked her didnt you?"
Me: no
Him: then do it already, you have my permission...*interruption from his friend* Jenny shut up I'll fuck you later. You have my permission, fuck her already
Me: thanks? ok bye.

Close, but I'd fix it by saying "vegan/crazy". I'm technically both.

But yeah, I became vegetarian a couple months ago, and I've been mostly vegan for around a month (although I'm not totally strict on additives, I don't eat anything that's obviously cheese/butter/milk).

If you're talking about me, you're mistaken. I hate all government equally. I don't think that making choices that I consider morally right should reflect any particular political system (unless you consider going against your own morals to be a property of conservativism -- but I doubt that's the case). I believe largely in utilitarianism, and to me, the happiness I could get from eating meat/animal products doesn't balance with the amount of suffering/death eating them causes.

You can make vegan tacos! There is vegetable-based ground beef, which I've never tried but that my sister likes (and she's pretty picky). You can also use beans as a base instead of beef. And, if you're like me and love sour cream, get soy-based stuff. It's surprisingly good! :)

And haha @ synthetic oil... the real oil is fine, it's decomposed plant matter. There might be incidental animals, but they're like the rabbits that get run over on farms -- incidental and unintentional. :P

The demand for meet, and thus the supply (number killed), isn't affected by you choosing not to eat them. While your sacrifice is noble, it really makes no difference and you should just indulge yourself in the tastiness of a nice burger.

She's cute...definite possibilities This is the check for a million dollars

edit: BTW, she has a boy friend :-\ This is the $20 in checking account part.

OH! :D

She's talked about breaking up with him numerous times. He's in CO, she's down here so she doesn't go out, doesn't get sex, etc. I'm in this for a casual fling, really. So, yes, there is a definite possibility of what I want to work out...working out. Especially the way she talked about the date afterwards, last night ;)

You're right, one person doesn't make a difference. That's why you shouldn't vote.

But seriously, every person counts. And the best way to make a difference is to set a good example.

Actually, votes don't mean shit in America. The Electoral College handles everything, and would work fine without a single vote in the entire country.

1. Rabbit you're wrong. Do research plz.

2. People at work are silly, they changed the policy on the office doors and they're now locked 24/7 instead of being open from 8am-5pm. Soo as a result of this nice change and the fact that several of the people in the room I work in don't have key access(darned foreigners!!) people were propping the door open. It was amusing.

As a snotty American, I choose not to feel bad about eating meat, cause I didn't have to watch it die. Plus, it tastes really good. 8)

So my bestfriend from highschool has been sick so yesterday evening myself, my exgirlfriend, and her friend all went to visit him. I took him out for wings and then we saw American Gangster. I didn't get back to my school until about 3AM, didn't get to sleep until almost 6AM (ex stayed the night since I deemed her too tired to drive back) and I also had a philosophy reading to do. Then I had to get up at 8 to do my Spanish homework (I left my workbook in my dorm so couldn't do it on the ride) and then I had to be in class at 8:30. But now I'm done for the week and it's nice, but I'm tired for sure.

Oh, and a nifty aside: On the way to visit my friend we drove next to the Google maps car for awhile.

Not animals specifically, but natural resources. Why use oil that can be used for better purposes (IE, burned for creating electricity) be used as a engine lubricant, when things that are just as good, yet not draining our natural resources, be used for only a few dollars more?

By the way, my dad yelled at me for spending a few dollars more of his money. :P

You never said becomming a vegan was supposed to be hard. But, you know what would help the environment? Fixing my engine so it doesn't leak oil and I don't need to put in a quart a week. Yeah.. that might be a good idea.

Note that I didn't specifically say that I'm becomming a vegan -- steak is good! I just want to help the poor environment a bit.

Health is a big factor, people who eat more meat are apparently more likely to get certain kinds of cancers (colon, for one). Plus, meat has a lot of fat in it, which is healthier to live without. Plus, animals are fed a lot of different chemicals to make them grow more quickly, which isn't something that I really want to be eating.

Moral reasons, which basically boil down to utilitarianism. Do I get enough happiness out of eating an animal to justify its death? I decided that I don't. It doesn't seem right to me for an animal to lose its life just so I can have a meal that I don't even enjoy more than an equivalent meal without the animal.

And then environmental reasons. The meat industry is the biggest contributer to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (very little of which is removed by plants used for farming, incidentally -- most of it is removed by forests, which are frequently destroyed by the meat industry :P).

It's also cool to change eating habits because I get to try a lot of new foods. :)

Those are the primary reasons. And incidentally, I'm not out to change anybody's mind. I'm only listing them because I was asked to. :P

conference champions niggas
beat our rival school yesterday which is the biggest game of each season (oldest/biggest small school rivalry in the south) which also determined the conference championship. We haven't lost to them in like 9 years, but this is the first time we'll play in the post-season since 1977.

but on Friday we had this car outside painted with the rivals stuff all over it, and for a $1 you get to hit it with a sledge hammer. The car got pretty much torn up but when I hit it hadn't been hit that much. Anyway I came back later in the afternoon and was watching people hit it. One guy let go when he swung and it flew right into my legs. They still hurt.

I current attend class full time, work part time, and am in two student organizations so time is an issue. I believe I can put more effort into the tests if I am not rushing to do them at 10:00pm after a club meeting. Generally I have a fair amount of free time weekend mornings and would like the option to be able to complete multiple tests in one day. Also, I would prefer to work at my own pace, as you wrote in the syllabus ("This course is designed to be completed 100% on-line and asynchronously at each studentâ€™s own pace.").

Thanks for the consideration,
Tyler

Anyone else find this as amusing as me? :D

4.5 of 6 pages now, 15 sources, gun restrictions covered in depth, concealed carry act covered in depth, cases challenging concealed carry explained thoroughly, a news article about the first kill related to concealed carry (old man shot and killed a man who was stabbing his exwife), and a short explanation (couldnt find much of the bill) of a bill that would create a castle doctrine like flordia has. oye

I think I'm going to stop. The topic is covered quite well, especially for this class. I hope he doesnt deduct too much for it being short, if he does he is a tard (he already is one, though*)

*yesterday our county government voted to, effectively, ban fireworks. You can no longer buy or possess any of the cool aerial things in the county. My prof is a HUGE supporter of banning fireworks. every year, he said, he submits a bill to the state legislature to COMPLETELY ban fireworks. He's the old bastard that complains about the fireworks/canon at our football games too.
I hope he dies soon.

I didnt let that stop me last weekend! :D

IM me so we can talk about your story thing or whatever

Last night:
Friend invited me & another buddy up to (basically) Ruidoso, NM. We drove out there to his house, about 2:45 of driving, and chilled at his house a little while. We ate then loaded up some plywood to take out to "The IT."
We drove 20 minutes out to a girl's house in Capitan, NM to meet up with some more folks. From her house we drove another 15 to "The IT."
"The IT" is just an OLD gravel pit ::)...decent place to party though. Unfortunately a big party out there consists of about 15 people they were saying :D. We had a fire in an old truck bed, sat around and drank.
My sympathy went out to my buddy that invited us up. The girl's house we stopped at is a friend of his that he's got a thing for. She recently (I'm told) broke it off with her long time (not good) boyfriend. But last night she was with another guy. Poor poor Gus.

we just had our senior banquet which is a dance. and this year it was at the zoo which was a cool twist on things. things went fine the first half, which consisted of senior standout awards (I won most spirited) and a dinner. the second half was dancing. at first no one was dancing except this mentally ill black guy who got his groove on while listening to Michael jackson. then everyone else joined in.

but what sucked was during the dance the lights were on at full blast, it was outdoors so it was kinda cold, and there was a no freak dancing rule which totally sucked balls. so after about an hour of awkward dancing we left to my friends house and partied. oh yeah i got kicked out for dancing to freakyish :P well not kicked out but i just got a time out( you get the picture).

So I think I'm a little bit F'ING STRESSED OUT.

I've got a buddy (Efrain) that hits, albeit jokingly, but he doesn't know his own strength. Every now and again he'll hit, it'll hurt I'll say dude that hurts. Sometime last week he grabbed and pulled back my buddy (who called shotgun) so he could beat him to shotgun, almost ripped his jacket. Once before Efrain pulled the same guy OUT of shotgun and this guy fell and hurt his back.
A few days ago (friday?) Efrain hit my foot pretty hard (he wears his large class ring) and it hurt and I said something along the lines of don't hit. Every now and again when I walk by him he'll get me in the gut (to the point at which I now flinch every time I walk by).

Today I got home from work and he got me in the gut and I slammed him against the wall and strenly (didn't yell, but I got my point across) said "don't fuking hit, it hurts, you don't know how strong you are."
Now I feel bad, I apologized before he left (he was already on his way out to get food but he slammed the door on the way out). I called and apologized (voicemail), but I'm still feeling guilty. Oh well I guess. He learned the hard way.

Some tracks have bass for co-op mode, but most have rhythm guitar.

If anyone can beat me, I'll be proud: 385 note streak and five stars on Expert drums for Black Sabbath - Paranoid.

I think I'm going to ask that girl to accompany me to an invite-only Christmas Party at a fraternity at my school. I'm walking a thin line with her, obviously (more obviously to those who I've told the story to), but the worst she can say is no. If she says no, I'll go alone..which is what I do if I don't ask her.

I definitely see the "thin line," but I would call it a grey area instead. Go for it.

Haha, there's a bit of a difference, the soy kind has a stronger flavour. That's why I like it more. :)

Also, they're equally unhealthy, almost. The soy kind is rather similar to margarine.

Started stacking cans from the last couple of weeks and there ya go!

We went through about 100 beers this weekend. 3 30 packs were completely gone and a 4th was cracked into.
Being that it was mostly me, Michael, Jimmy, Steven, Javy, Efrain, and a bit from my sis, her friend, and Dave....that's a lot of beer for us. Especially taking into account that those 100 beers were beer-pong only and we (michael, jimmy, steven, & I) all drank outside of that 100.

I can only imagine what the weekend before or after finals will be like :o :D!!!

So I went to a friend's bday last night. The chick situation was not great. Of the 7-8 chicks there, there were 2 good looking ones (the "lesser" of the 2 was taken). I started talkin' to the good looking girl. I know her from parties, never have really talked to her though. We hit it off-ish...but nonetheless I figured I had no chance (she's quite good looking). Her friend was talkin' to me, at one point and said I should go for her . Then as I left the friend said she was disappointed I didn't act on what we talked about.

So this mornin' I get on Facebook (like MySpace) and see that the cute girl has started messaging me. Maybe I do have a chance :D !.

Downshifting instead of braking is good on ice, so manuals have an advantage there. You can do that with an automatic too, but most auto drivers don't.

Honest to God, these are the worst grades I've ever received in my entire life, it's perplexing as on the test I did the absolute worst on I actually studied for and read the two chapters, oh well.

I think it's your first cousin, once removed......I really don't understand some genealogical terms...

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: iago on December 22, 2007, 11:13:27 am

Quote

A system of degrees and removes is used to describe the relationship between the two cousins and the ancestor they have in common. The degree (first, second, third cousin, etc.) indicates the minimum number of generations separating either cousin from the nearest common ancestor; the remove (once removed, twice removed, etc.) indicates the number of generations, if any, separating the two cousins from each other.

For example, if persons A and B share a great grandparent as their nearest common ancestor, they are second cousins, because two generations (the parents and grandparents) separate each of them from the great grandparent.

If person A's great grandparent is person B's grandparent, then they are first cousins once removed, "first" because there is only one generation between B and his or her grandparent and "once removed" because there is a further generation between A and that same ancestor.

So, in this system, the child of one's aunt or uncle is one's first cousin. The child of one's first cousin is one's first cousin once removed.

I just woke up and that barely makes sense to me, but the last line seem to indicate that rabbit is correct.

According to that quote, here's a good way to figure this out:

Crazed only has to go two generations up whereas the baby has to go three generations up to find a common ancestor. Therefore we take two, the minimum of these two numbers, to correspond to the degree number. In this system, two = first degree, three = second degree, and so on.

Crazed is separated from the baby by 1 generation: both he and the baby's father are of the same generation since their common ancestor is the same number of generations away for each of them. So the baby is his first cousin, once removed. The removed number can immediately be taken from the first calculation, as
removed = |generations to common ancestor for person A - generations to common ancestor for person B|.

so if this little guy were to have kids that'd be my 2nd cousin, twice removed?

1st cousin, twice removed. You still only have 2 generations to go up to find the common ancestor (first cousin), but the baby's baby has 4 generations to go up (4-2 = 2, twice removed).

I think this is probably the clearest way of thinking about it:
Suppose we have Person A and Person B. Person A has to go up x generations to find the common ancestor between A and B. Person B has to go up y generations to find the common ancestor between A and B.

Cousin number = min{x,y} - 1
Removed number = max{x,y} - min{x,y} = absolute value of x-y = |x-y|

Removed number = max{x,y} - min{x,y} = absolute value of x-y = |x-y|

Ok, common ancestor = grandma.
A=me
B=My Cousin (ian)
C=My counsin's kid (william)
D=The kid's kid (will #2, for now)

for A & B common ancestor = 2 generations away, so we're same generation and not removed = cousins
A & C= A is 2 generations away, C is 3 generations away, 3-2 = 1st cousin Once removed
A & D = A is 2 generations away, D is 4 generations away, 4-2 = ...

That's where i'd get lost, I'm not seeing how Cousin# could be anything less than 2 because the common ancestor(grandma) is 4 generations for Will#2 and 2 generations for me. Unless common ancestor should be based on Cousin (ian).

max{4,2} - min{4,2} = 4 - 2 = 2. Therefore twice removed.

FYI:
A) If your 22 year old room mate (Brandon) is out of town with your 24 year old friend (Josh) visiting Brandon's 17 year old girlfriend (and staying with her parents) don't go in his room
B) Further, don't let a mutual friend change Brandon's desktop to a porn shot of a guy we went to high school with
C) Further, don't drunk dial him hinting at A & B
D) Stay sober enough to prevent A - C

Inevitably on New Years we'll all be here, we'll all be drunk, and his computer will have gay porn on it again. All I can say is that I cannot be held responsible for the actions of others when I will not remember said actions the next day.

p.s. This is my crazy room mate that complained about the use of electricity (his dad paid the whole electric bill, that was nice) but always left lights on in the house. He never cleans the kitchen or the living room. He gets crazy paranoid about noise levels*, numbers of people over, and numbers of people under 21.

Explanation later, getting ready to go to New Years party.

Quoted my mom a price on a car, we get there and test drive it. They say they can't honor the quote (we had it in writing and verbal), because it would cut into their profits and that the quote was supposed to not include tax, title, etc. even though they included it. Parents tried coming to a midway, they didn't seem too interested. My mom called the district manager and is picking the car up tomorrow for the original quoted price. Score.

Mom and sister hung out with ex at the mall the other day, mom was telling me how I need to be nicer to ex blah blah blah. I said she won't leave me alone, mom says she's prob. clingy if we had sex and then asked flat out. I was just like "why would you ask me that" and then she asked if I got her pregnant and if I used protection. She then proceeded to call me a virginity taker. Whatever, it hasn't come up again so I'm not worried about it.

My package was shipped on 12/27 with 3 day shipping. Even taking weekends/holidays into acocunt....arg. And there thing about shipping the next business day appears to be BS as well, since as far as I know today is a business day and my tracking info hasn't shown that it has even left the facility yet. :(

Not to mention I ordered two other things, both shipped by UPS, that were ordered later and have already been delivered.

I ended up buying 4 Polk db570's and 2 sets of bafflers. I hope the Polk's perform well, if not then they're being sent back. I ordered from Crutchfield and these were recommended to me by the service guy, I talked to him online last night and again on the phone today. Crutchfield's HQ is located about an hour and a half from my college so if they suck I'll go there and complain. The speakers used to be $100/pair but they are last years model so I got them for $50/pair. I don't need much power, in fact I was happy with the Explorer's factory speakers...until one blew. As long as they offer slightly better quality and don't blow, I'll be happy.

Oh and get this, the other day I noticed that my sisters new LCD tv she got for Christmas (what's that, 11 days ago?) has a dead pixel. I'm going out by Best Buy today to get a new pair of shoes so I go in her room to get the TV to return. I look at it, and she's WRITTEN on the screen. She wrote the names of the 3 ninjas and drew circles. WTF? What goes through kids minds. Luckily the customer service people didn't notice and/or mention it so I was able to exchange it. Why would you draw on a TV? Kids suck.

Headphones are broken and there is a little nick on the screen. It could have been a lot worse...

Polk db570's. They're pretty inexpensive, but were recommended to me by the support person. I don't intend to add an additional amp or subwoofer because I really don't blare my music. I turn it up if it's a song or CD I especially like, such as Girltalk, but nothing extreme..basically I just wanted something to replace the factory speakers. Do you know about speakers?

You won't blow those speakers in a stock environment. BUT, you also won't get full potential out of them without an amp. Even if you're not into crazy bass, you could run a setup like mine. I run a 12" MTX Thunder sub, with a decent Sony XPLOD amp. And I might replace my stock in car speakers soon.

I think they're fine for what I need, with these playing them at half volume is probably the highest I'll go, so I don't think I need more power. When I installed the left rear one though I must have had a wire in the way of a window, because this morning I went to roll it down and I heard a noise and then the speaker didn't work. I went back and took the panel off again and the wire had come undone so I had to redo that, but now it works. It sounds like it's blown though, I could hear a little crackle...I'm not sure if it was the speaker or just the radio station. I hope it's not blown, I don't feel like having to deal with sending them back.

Ok so today while i was practicing lacrosse at a middleshool on the wall ball courts there was a bunch of people around playing basketball and hitting tennis balls on the courts ok. so i am throwing my ball at the wall and then *WHACK* the ball hits the wall at a bad angle and it goes up in the air. at that same time this little girl probably 10 years old is drinking a dark blue juice. well the ball hits the juice and spills it all over her. i felt so bad. so i took off my shirt and gave it to her to wipe herself off. o yeah she was wearing a white shirt too so it was pretty bad.

What would you guys have done?

Alright this is how it went:

First I had sex with twenty hot girls in the pool. Then we got out and went in the shower, and had more sex. Then we changed out of our suits and had even more sex. Then I walked to my car, two very sexy twins came out of nowhere and fucked me in the car. Now I am home.

I found a picture of me still in the car from that crash a few days ago. But, anyway. No, it was complete bullshit. I pull up to this light where I'm making a left hand turn. I pulled up a little so people could go around me so I wasn't blocking traffic, then when it was clear for me to take the turn I took the turn. Cop pulls me over, tells me I blew a red light. And, I didn't have an updated insurance card on me. The insurance got dropped when I went to court, payed court costs which was still lame. They reduced the failure to observe signal to Unsafe Operation (bullshit...) because it's no points and doesn't go onto insurance. Fuck new jersey.

Do you know what a real party is? I do now. A real party is when you have 2 TVs, rockbank, guitar hero 3, lots of food and lots of people. Who the hell wants to drink when you can play video games?
I agree with iago's edit more than your original post ... video games are lame in a social setting of a group of real people.
Heh, I assume you don't play many multiplayer video games?

Not when we're having a party

Are you serious? Some of the most enjoyable social events I've been to revolve around video games. LAN parties are a BLAST. iago was joking. He's referring specifically to tabletop role playing games, which I've done as well. I LOVE role playing and I don't think if I could say I like RPing or LAN parties more.

FPS games are awesome for these types of events, but I've had more fun with games like Diablo II, Starcraft, Dungeon Siege, etc.

Well, I'm not a huge fan of LAN parties or multiplayer video games. I waayyy prefer RPGs to computer games. But yeah, I wouldn't say that video games/LAN parties are anti-social in any way. :)

I can't say I blame you. Video games can get pretty frustrating after a while, but the average RP session with my old boss is 14 hours (they tend to go longer), but no one ever gets bored or frustrated. It's pretty awesome! :)

If it makes up for it, every other person there other than me plays RPGs on a regular basis, and there was a massive game of Munchkin with like 5 of the games put together in a giant deck of awesome.

I play Rockband with AHEAD Lars Ulrich 5A's. When people use the Rockband sticks, it's rather quiet in comparison. :P

So anyhow, I started playing HP: CoS for PS1 today (yes, I know I'm 10 years late, stfu), almost got to the end, and fell through the floor. After the poorly drawn, uninformative, repetitive, and UNSKIPPABLE cutscenes, as well as the "get to class" time races that test character manuverability (which EA failed at, bleh) instead of thinking / logic, this game gets a 2/10. Probably more had I finished, but to get out of the floor I have to restart. Ain't happenin'.

Quote from: Me at another forum

So .... this morning I asked a lady what she's doing tonight, she said "I dunno," I followed up with asking her if she wants to eat at a place in town ... she said give her a call, I said around 6 for going.

Just called, answering machine & left a message, I'll call around 6 again. Either this is gonna be a GOOOOD night or it's gonna be a DRUUUNNNNK night :-\

might be awkward that we're going on a week long trip next week ;D!
eh well I guess.

"I don't think I should go"

WELLL FUCK...............looks like I'm going to be drunk as hell tonight.
ANNNNND! My phone has been turning off a lot lately, pissed me off. When she called to say "she shouldn't" I hung up (closed my phone) and it turned off ... I am like God only knows what kind of upset. I'm angry that my God damned 6th phone has broken, disappointed that she said now, upset that I won't be with one of the most wonderful women I've ever met, sorta just ... word ... that she's been somewhat flirtacious at times.

Fuck it. It appears that the only women that seem to perk a significant interest in me are crazy and dont actually want a relationship.

Looks like I'm well on my way to being a professional lawyer/politician/drunk/bachelor

Yeah, exactly. If somebody doesn't like you for who you are, then the chances of actually having a good relationship with them is pretty slim.

Don't ever take GHB, its bound to fuck you up. I remember a story of some girl tripping on GHB; she was hallucinating and saw some purple-green butterfly fly into her throat, and ended up pulling out most if not all of her teeth in an attempt to get it out.

nope.

My phone (chocolate, original) kept turning off so they replaced it (my 8th chocolate). less than two hours later the same thing was happening, only more frequently than the previous one! >:(
I got UBER pissed, especially cause I'm going to DC tomorrow and need a phone. Went to Verizon and was quite aggressive ... they gave me a vx 8700, decent. I still get my upgrade +$50 credit on April 22nd ... she wrote that down and said she'd even call her manager and tell him just to make sure I get it. YAY NEW PHONE!

What have you covered so far?

I had a 95% without the curve on my first one, but it was later in the semester, I think. The average was something like a 58% because people didn't remember anything from Calc 2, lol. There was some problem that required IBP, which I didn't remember, but I derived it and got it correct. I screwed up one easy problem on the next test and ended up with an 85% without the curve. I read it wrong. :(

Oh well, I had an A in the class and I felt like I took a lot out of it.

This was like our sixth class...yeah, I wasn't really expecting to have one so early. Since it only really covered one thing, it wasn't a big deal. And I really hope there is a scale because everyone else in my class seems to not understand anything....I want an A+!

Ok, I did not do nearly as well on my calc test as I thought I did

Me: 77% ???
Girl that sits behind me: 100%
Everyone else: failed

I don't feel as bad since the rest of my class is dumb, except for the girl behind me, who is a HOT computer engineering major....not something you see every day.

Haha, there was a girl in my class that apparently got a 100% on one or another of the tests. I don't remember her major, though. :(

There's a pretty hot girl in my linear algebra class that's a CS major. Unfortunately, though, she favors Java, so that pretty much nullifies any nerdiness she had (just kidding :P).

Are scientologists raiding the streets of somewhere?

I wasn't defining scientology. I was describing how they're commonly perceived. I call it a pseudo-religion because it isn't a religion but it has religious principles. I said it was infamous for various things because it does have a soiled reputation for those things. I did not say I agree that the the things I mentioned are true.

I say you have limited inference skills (I'm seriously starting to believe that this is more true than I thought initially) because you failed to gain the necessary context of the subject at hand. Go back a page or two and look at the photos. Raid is the wrong word, as iago pointed out, but if you saw Newby's posts, I'd be shocked if you couldn't muster the background necessary to figure out what's going on.

My google weather forecast predicted 13 F for today's temperature. So the newspaper I'm looking at online should predict around the same. Oh, it predicts 12 F. What an AMAZING event. It predicted something similar AGAIN. It isn't UNEXPECTED. So I am obviously obliged to make this post.

A few weekends ago I got extremely intoxicated, stayed up the entire night because I was with a girl (same girl who told my roommate she wouldn't talk to me because I was too intoxicated) then in the morning drove her back to her school, got lost on the way back, finally got back to mine, etc. (Point is that I had to actually do stuff the next day, not just lay around) Anyway, I didn't get sick. Alcohol and lack of sleep definitely isn't a "sure" way to get sick. Similar situation on different weekends, too.

ex invited us to hang out at bar.
we get there, my friends leave, other friend shows up.
I have one (tall/24oz) beer.

I leave, frustrated cause dude is hitting on ex and she isnt exactly discouraging it while texting me that it's awkward etc.
I spin tires twice.
Cop pulls me over, smells beer, asks how many I had, I say one (it was). He asks if I was mad at a girlfriend. He does finger test (back and forth) says I had more than one cause my eyes are shaking (nervous as hell), I say a tall new castle, he replies "we get a 50% discount there, they'll tell me how much you had," again I say a tall new castle. He makes me walk a parking lot line, I do it not tapping my heels to my toes. He says going it again heel-to-toe ::). I do that fine and dandy.
I end up with a ticket for "racing engine, squealing tires" (he said three times, I know it was only twice, but I was not in a situation to argue it).
Asks why I did it, I said frustrated because of the situation with my ex, he said "no girls is worth it, well, maybe she is ... but not a ticket"

I was completely polite, as usual when dealing with people older/with more authority than me.

CrAz3D, why is it that you post all these links of shootings, and then go out and get a gun?

I understand that it's a right to be able to own firearms, but I don't see why the articles you've posted on in the past hasn't deterred you from getting one.

Well, aside from it being fun and me wanting to get my CHL (concealed handgun license) ... those articles only encourage me in being proactive about being safe.

Fun? I'll let that one slide.

Wouldn't not owning a gun _at all_ be an even more practical approach to being proactive about safety?

For one, you wouldn't have access to it, and neither would anyone else. Second, you wouldn't have to be proactive about safety to begin with, as the object of said activity is removed; you can't practice being safe with something you don't have access to!

Or does this just come down to you wanting to have a weapon accessible at all times, if not for safety, then at the very least, for what you said: "... fun."

Flaming Dr. Pepper's are good. (Dissaronno topped with 151 lit on fire and bombed into beer)

word of advice: don't drink for 3 hours then decide to shoot 151 straight, follow it with a flaming dr. pepper, then a Sparks. A night can go from great to terrible in about 5 minutes.

My roommate and I were in this apartment at a girls school near here, and an alum from our school was making them. Later in the night we decided to do another one and some 151 spilled so we decided it would be fun to light the stove on fire. It was really cool, but probably not a good idea. This was right after doing the 151 straight, and about 10 minutes before my night turned to drunken sickness hell.

Weeks before/during trip to D.C.:
She flirts w/me. I ask her out, she says "I dont think we should date." Me: fine. She continues to be flirty
On trip her best friend notices "sexual tension" between ex and I ... still flirtiness.

Friday:
Dude is flirting with ex, she doesnt stop it/back away/whatever. She texts me saying "shane is hitting on me. i am not ok with that"

Saturday:
We all went to El Paso (50miles away), Shane/dude is flirting with her, she doesnt stop it/bac away/whatever. On drive home (she drove me from house to univesity) she says "that was slow torture"

Today:
Jokingly she says "how did we ever date?" when talking about coffee

Just now:
Ex's friend: she is going home with shane.

1) If we had good bars I would go because they're expensive.
2) Women at bars are *usually* not the sort of women I'd like to date. I'm not looking for a "good time" and I don't want a chick who is "looking for a good time" which is what my last 'serious' girlfriend was.

I guess maybe at this age I should be looking for a good time? I'm just not in that mind set :-\

But think about it, we're all still young, so there's nothing wrong with having fun while we still can. Once we're in our late 20's or early 30's, that's when we can begin to look for our significant other. By that time, we should know what qualities we do/don't want in a woman.

At least that's the way I see it. :)

I need to buy the book "The Game" I'm told. Folks said it's pretty good. Mentions something like "if you're overly hung up you may have one-itis, to cure this after a break up go out and sleep with 5 women." Also says date many women, then compare/contrast them to find the qualities about women that tend to hold true throughout the sex.

Maybe I should buy it.

We had 2 cases of Keystone, a 4 pack of Tilt, 6 pack of Becks, and a 12 pack of Fosters. Were running a little low for comfort on the Keystone (17 left) and were out of Tilt, so we picked up a case of Natty and a 4 pack of Sparks this evening in preparation for the evening debauchery. Also we're making this mixed drink that we make sometimes en masse. It's really good so you should try it - it will get you so fucked up. It's vodka, Sprite, Tonic Water, and Rose's sweetened lime juice. You don't taste the vodka at all and the ladies LOVE it. You can also put in lemon-lime gatorade powder and it tastes good too. Best served cold. We call it Alien Piss.

Last night just sucked because I was a big pussy at a party. I was talking to this girl who said "let's dance - you're not getting out of it" we go up on the stage to dance and my roommate leaves her friend so her friend grabs her and tells me she wants to go meet new people. What the fuck? Trust got no pussy and passed out in his bed, alone, at 2AM. Weak. :(

Fosters is OK ... at best.

So, I've decided that I need to tell this chick I'm taking her out. We got to a party/bon fire about 130am (started at 10pm) and she and her friend were about to leave ... but they stayed another hour + to talk with us, good stuff.

The posts were funny, warz's especially I laughed.

Every beer on there my roommate picked out except for the Natty and Sparks. I like Natty and fuck you if you don't. I will drink Keystone because that's his cheap beer of choice and he usually buys it. When he gets new beers I'll try them, but I usually will stick to Natural Light or Coors. I got the Sparks because I was tired, but I don't really like it. I don't think it's "cool.

And to xir, I don't know what you're talking about but the the comment about ladies: you're wrong. I've never had somebody not like this drink, if you don't want to try it that's cool but it really does taste good. You don't just make like one cup of it though we make it in a cooler.

We'll call my friend Mr. Belligerent. He's a small but scrappy motherfucker, 3rd in the state for wrestling and he was on the Alien Piss, beer, and jager.

So fraternity party permits last until 2AM, then the cops come in and turn on the lights and make everyone leave. Mr. Belligerent is dancing with some random girl who he thinks he's going to hook up with, and the cops come in. He gets pissed because she had gone to the bathroom and now he can't find her and everyone has to leave. So he starts cussing to the cops. They're just like "Take her up to your room and party there." and he said "She's gone" and they said "They probably saw who they were dancing with when the lights turned on and ran away." or something like that. It was funny but I remember he being pissed and wanting to fight the police and anybody he saw. We walk by another fraternity which just had a small thing going on and he wanted to go in there and pick a fight. I go with him to see if there are any straggling girls migrating over there who I could talk to. There weren't, so I just go take a piss and then we leave. We're walking back to our dorm and there are 3 guys standing outside, we didn't know who they were and were about 50 yards away and Mr. Belligerent just starts yelling at them and they yell back and he gets in their face. I know them so I explain the situation and take force him to go inside, but they for some reason followed. I get him up to my room (3rd floor) and he's resisting so I wrestle him outside of my door, get him inside and push him down on my futon. The girl that was in the room got scared and thought we were fighting and went somewhere for awhile and missed all of the excitement. My roommate and I try to calm Mr. Belligerent down but it doesn't work, so he goes back down because he's pissed that they're talking shit. So we're down there and everyones arguing because the original 3 went and got 3 more people and some guys in my face telling me if I don't move he's going to hit me so we're arguing back and forth and then my roommate closes the door to the stairs and keeps me and Mr. Belligerent on the stairs to try to stop stuff from happening. So I'm looking through this window on the stairs and then the door opens and this kid (the one who said he was going to hit me) grabs me and puts me in a headlock so I'm wrestling him off of me and when I get him off Mr. Belligerent slams him into a wall and then a football grabs me and I couldn't get away from him. I thought he was trying to fight me too but he was just trying to break stuff up. Good thing to, I could probably have taken the first guy but not the football player. Anyway everyones just yelling and my roommate ends up punching the previously mentioned shatter-proof window and breaking it because somebody on the other side insulted him or something I'm not really sure. Then somehow everything kind of stopped and Mr. Belligerent went upstairs with my roommate and the other guys went to this other room so I go to the room to let everyone know that my friend was just belligerent and that it just got blown out of proportion. My roommate thought I was getting jumped and go gets the RA for the 1st floor and explains the window and agrees to pay for it and all of that and they come find me and then the next 30 minutes or so is spent explaining this.

Earlier this year she pushed me because I wanted to talk to another girl who I knew at a concert we had on campus.
At a party a couple of weeks ago she dumped beer on me because I was dancing with a girl, then came to my room later and cussed me out and told me how she has so much pull on campus I'm going to be banned from the fraternities and she could have me kicked out of pledging. The first thing she said to me after she got kicked out was "How are you down here?" She doesn't even go to this school, yet thinks she has pull here. She doesn't realize that she's a freshman non-student and nobody cares.
She pushed me and cussed me out again last night, over being kicked out.
This is not classy by my definition.

No I'm not, he's my hallmate.

Wow, nice. I would have thought it would have been higher for you. We spend like $150-$200/month. I used to be the one that bought it at the beginning of the year, but now my roommate usually does so it's a nice situation for me. We give away a lot though because people party in our room a lot. Once in awhile we'll just get 1 or 2 cases, which would be about $15 or $30, respectively. What do you buy that gets you drunk so much for $40/month, or do you just have a low tolerance?

A 24 pack here costs $10.47 for Natural Light or Keystone, a little less for Milwaukee's Best. It's about $15-18 for "normal" domestics (Budweiser, Bud Light, Coors, etc.).

HOLY CRAP! A 30 of Miller Lite is about $22. I buy bottles (tastes better) so it's like $16 for 18, if it's on sale it's $12 for 18.

Good beer is usually about $1+ per bottle. Like Sam Adams 6packs are about $8. A 6 of Corona is about $9. Local stuff is usually cheaper and better. I need to start getting growlers of some of it.

Honestly, I'm not drunk all the time. Hard to believe, I know. But $40 would be about 3 18 packs of Miller Lite. Sometimes I'll buy a 5th of Jack Daniels or Everclear ... but that's only another $17 per bottle (and then the mixer stuff) and it doesn't happen too often.

During the summer I bought a 30 pack a week, that was about $22/week. Sometimes more, sometimes less during the summer, but I think that about averaged to one per week with a few people drinking from it.

Yeah, that's crazy. The only beer I keep here (I don't usually drink it, it's for guests) is exactly $20 for a 12, and that's all it comes in. I believe an average 24 is up to $34 or $35. Cheap ones are $28 - $30.

12 pack of Guiness, 12 pack of Sam Adams Boston Lager, 12 pack of Newcastle = ~55$.

Also, Sam Adams Oktoberfest, mm.
Also, IPA, eww. Too much goddamn hops, taste's like fruit loops.
Also, WESTMALLE TRIPEL, BEST BEER EVER. My friend brought it back for me from Belgium, and it's widely considered to be the best beer in Belgium, which is the microbrewery capital of the world. It's brewed by the Trappist monks, and is a very regional beer over there, which makes it fairly expensive to import... So far what I'm seeing is like fucking 8$ a bottle.

Ska Brewing in Duragno, CO makes an AWESOME IPA. I definitely dislike the majority of the IPAs I've had, way too intense.

I want to go to Germany where beer is cheaper than water.

iago, saying drinking is a crutch is just as ignorant as saying all people who don't drink are boring.

Somebody implied earlier that drinking is necessary to be interesting. In that case, drinking is totally being used as a crutch.

12 pack of Guiness, 12 pack of Sam Adams Boston Lager, 12 pack of Newcastle = ~55$.

Also, Sam Adams Oktoberfest, mm.
Also, IPA, eww. Too much goddamn hops, taste's like fruit loops.
Also, WESTMALLE TRIPEL, BEST BEER EVER. My friend brought it back for me from Belgium, and it's widely considered to be the best beer in Belgium, which is the microbrewery capital of the world. It's brewed by the Trappist monks, and is a very regional beer over there, which makes it fairly expensive to import... So far what I'm seeing is like fucking 8$ a bottle. The sad thing is... it's almost worth it!

What the fuck is with you drinking those beers, you're in highschool? When I was in highschool it was bud light at best.

Some people, like myself, don't drink. For many reasonable others, drinking doesn't define their lives. In the set of people 5 standard deviations to the left of the mean in intelligence, you would find some people who agree with you.

True, and I have no problems with those people. My weekends are probably more fun, but I respect their decision not to drink. It's a personal choice. However, a large portion of college students do engage in drinking and thus expensive beer probably dampens the cost-benefit of weekend partying.

Wow with those prices college life must suck in Canada.
Everybody I know in Canada that went to college went there to learn, not to drink/party. I always thought that the partying college guys was a joke/stereotype until you started posting about it here.

It is possible to have a good time as well as learn. I go to arguably one of the best schools in the South Eastern region of the United States. However, it is also consistently rated as one of the top drinking schools on Princeton Review. Still, the school produces alumni who, to put it bluntly, run shit. There are a lot of people at large schools who maybe drink away their days, but here we work hard during the week but play hard on the weekend. I don't see that as a problem.

Heh, when I was in university, I worked hard during the week, and did homework during the weekends. I didn't have time for a whole lot else. I think that most people I went to school with were in roughly the same position.

And since the drinking age here is 18, it was even legal for us to drink, if we'd had time for it. The irony is kind of funny.

Yep, that's very true. I know people who go here who have an abundance of free time because they take a few easy classes a semester. I take the most challenging classes I feel I'm prepared for (allowing for graduation requirements) and work very hard in them. I have free time, but it's not bountiful. I usually have about half a day on the weekend I do with what I please, but I spend the rest of the time doing homework. I have enough free time during the week to do leisurely things on the Internet, go to dinner and lunch with friends and maybe go watch a movie every now and then, but that's usually about it.

None of this bothers me, though, because my entire reason for being here is to learn. Having fun is necessary in small amounts, but that's not why I came to college.

That sucks. I'm surprised that yall purchase beers like that and not cheap domestic stuff. It has nothing to do with your socioeconomic background or how you were raised.

In response to Sidoh and iago: You have your entire life to work, college is when you get your degree and enjoy the last amount of fun you have until basically you retire. Guys I know with really touch course loads (26 hours or thereabout) still party on the weekends and sometimes during the week. Our school flunks a lot of people, possibly because of partying and not working I'm not sure, but the point is it is possible to balance both. I guess we have different priorities though. I do my work during the week, but on Friday and Saturday night I go out and have fun. Most likely I'll still be successful in life outside of college not only because of my education, my schools reputation, but mostly because of connections I've made. We have an amazing alumni network that I will probably tap into for pre-MBA experience. Beginning this summer I'm going to start working for my roommates parents, and if I continue to work there after graduation I'll start out at about $109,000/yr. That's a really good income, especially considering that due to the nature of the business my living expenses would also be paid for. I don't mean to insult your choices, and sure sometimes I wish I had the work and study ethics that people on these boards have. But I think you're placing to much value into the educational focus and not enough into social. Grades are important, but they aren't going to get you anywhere if you aren't constantly networking. It's not the grades you make, it's the hands you shake. It seems that the general view by many people on these boards is that if you spend your weekends partying that you are going nowhere in life, but it's very possible to make good grades as well as have a good time.

Credit hours don't mean much. I've taken courses that are 4-5 credit hours that involve half the work of 2 credit hour classes. People in math, science, engineering and technology almost always are more involved with their studies than people outside of those fields. I don't mean to say the other fields aren't as important or anything of that nature, but that's the way it is.

I don't mean to conclude that "fun" is out of the question if you're to be successful in college. In fact, in small amounts, I think it's necessary to succeed. Like you said, it's a balancing effort. I have fun, but I devote the majority of my time and concentration to my studies. It's partially because I want to do well in my classes, but most of the reason is because I'm an academic. I find my courses fascinating and put way more effort into them than is necessary for a satisfactory grade. As a result, I have a much better understanding of the material than my peers, with the exception of those who view the courses in the same way I do.

It seems like you're defending yourself here. I don't mean to say people who don't study hard in college can't be successful. In fact, it's clearly the case that college itself isn't necessary to be successful. Again, though, that really isn't my primary concern. I'm almost certain that I'll be financially secure if and when I do enter industry.

I don't take it as an insult that those who are less studious can have a high annual salary. That doesn't bother me at all. I agree that it's an important part of life, but it isn't what I care about most. I want what I'm doing to be interesting. I want even more for it to be intellectually challenging. I don't want to have a job that doesn't require the use of my intelligence.

I agree that "networking" is important, but you seem to be making the faulty assumption that I don't have networking because I pour the amount of attention I do into homework. My "network" might look much different than yours, but that's because I've earned the respect of the people who support me through my potential and intelligence, not through my charm and charisma. I don't mean to say that you haven't established relationships with people on similar grounds, but I have no interest in being handed a job because someone I know has connections there. I want to earn the position.

I'm of the opinion that this is little more than a trite and prosaic remark that makes a hefty generalization of a complex situation. It's certainly important that you know people, but I'll guarantee you that having an impressive resume and being able to do well in an interview is more important than having a brother in marketing for getting a job at the companies I'm interested in.

I don't think that's what was said. That's not what I was trying to say, anyway. I don't mean to make any of the following conclusions:
Drinking and partying every weekend ==> Poor grades
Drinking and partying every weekend ==> Lack of success later in life
Doing well in college ==> No fun in college

What I do mean to conclude, though is this:
* You don't need to drink to have fun. You seem to be making the assertion that drinking has the intrinsic effect of enhancing fun, which I don't agree with.
* In general, my studies are far more important to me than having fun. I agree that it would be stupid to not have a fair amount of fun, but I'm not going to cast my homework aside to do something less productive.

Again, you're making assumptions that just aren't true.

My weekends are busy because I have a lot of homework due early in the week. I also tend to do assignments early so I have more free time later in the week. I have more than half a day of free time per week. I probably spend ~25-30 hours a week on homework. There's plenty of time between that to do whatever I want.

My friends have similar schedules to mine. A few of them like to get drunk, go to parties, etc, but none of them do it regularly.

I totally have to disagree with that.

First, I don't consider going out and drinking to be "fun", so at the very core I consider it inaccurate.

But besides that, I love my job. I'm doing exactly what I wanted to do, I have fun there, it's not overly stressful, I love the people/management there, and I'm doing what I enjoy. Also, I'm being paid a reasonable salary (not that that matters to me -- $40k/year is what I'd feel comfortable with, and I'm making considerably more than that).

In the evenings and weekends, I have fun, I go out, I see bands, I play games, I hang out with friends. Sure, I'm not wasted the whole time, but I have fun. I love my life, and I wouldn't change a thing.

That, I totally agree with. Every job I've had since University, including my current one, has been because of people I've known. If I woke up without a job tomorrow, I can think of a half dozen places I could probably get another one, fairly easily. So yeah, I 100% agree that making contacts is extremely important.

At my school, I did that through the co-op program, where we got to do three terms (4 months each) of actual on the job experience (we even got paid!). It was a great experience, and that's where I learned the majority of what I know.

iago, you can replace drinking with any other extracurricular hobby and it would be the same. If somebody spent all of their time playing XBox, sober, then their grades may or may not suffer the exact same as if they'd been drunk on the weekend.

It all boils down to the person. If you're unable to focus on your studies over an internet game, then it's a problem with you and not the game.

I know people that manage good grades, and still are able to raid multiple days a week. It's like all things in life, you just have to be responsible and know how to manage your time.

While I agree that that is the main problem, it is extremely easy to get "lost in time" in a game like WoW. I try not even to log in on days when I have lots of work to do.

It's true, but this is not the fault of the game. More of a problem with the person.
Using the game as an excuse isn't really valid, as the same thing could happen with anything else that you really enjoy.

Everything should be taken in moderation, no one is holding a gun to your head telling you to drop bosses.
It's tiring to hear people use World of Warcraft as a scapegoat.

The game itself isn't the problem, it's the people with no self control that are the problem. Same goes with drinking, and pretty much anything else which causes short term satisfaction.

Some people are genetically prone to becoming alcoholics, though. I don't think it's fair to say someone who doesn't have that condition and has the ability to quit drinking has more self control than someone who has the condition and can't.

True, but the point I'm trying to make is I don't think it's fair to immediately label someone who has a hard time managing their time with a game as irresponsible. I agree that irresponsibility has a lot to do with not being able to play the game only when there's time for it, but I think some people are naturally more prone to being sucked into it than others.

Some people are more prone to being sucked in, but if those people do a little introspection, they might be smart enough to not get into that situation. That's one reason why I have never touched the game, I know how much time I threw away on Diablo II. :)

I just created arguments for 3 cases ... this is one of the weirdest tests I've taken. I need to crank out one more, I think, case argument from the fact set and I should be good.

I sort of wish that the format was a little more defined and that the fact set had better indicators of which issues may/may not be actionable cases, but I guess this is pretty "real world." I just feel sorry for anyone in this class that isn't interested in law. The class is a "Viewing the Wider World" and there are a NUMBER of non-law related people in there, one girl is completely thrown off. I'm just greatful I've had a few classews related to law and work for a lawyer...I have a fair amount of background expereience that has helped me.

Too bad that this is a group test, I dislike trust other people to do their share (one of my partners is that girl that is lost, we're helping her).

3 less credit hours means nothing if the classes are difficult. I believe it was Sidoh who mentioned that credit hours can't really be used to measure any level of rigor nor work load. I know plenty of people in 10-12 credit hours that don't think of getting wasted every weekend because they usually have work to do. Also, judging from Trust's previous posts (http://www.x86labs.org/forum/index.php/topic,9611.0.html), I'm going to be guessing that he's got more of the same kind of classes, which, at the freshman level, are ridiculously easy, especially in comparison to the freshman math/science classes.

Honestly I could care less if people on some random internet message board think I'm cool or a prick or anything else. It's a message board with people I'll never meet, I'm not trying to impress anybody and I really don't care if you like me or not. Most of my stories are posted because I have fun arguing about it after I post it. That's the only fun I derive from this forum.

Honestly I could care less if people on some random internet message board think I'm cool or a prick or anything else. It's a message board with people I'll never meet, I'm not trying to impress anybody and I really don't care if you like me or not. Most of my stories are posted because I have fun arguing about it after I post it. That's the only fun I derive from this forum. Fuck you if you don't like me because I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

Cool, I think you're a dick.

I heard the other day that UPS was planning to change their routes to where it's only right turns, which would cut down on gas/time. Though, the other day, I saw a UPS truck turn left at an intersection.

That's tough when you have to pull into a driveway if you live on the left side of the street. Impossible if it's a one-way street (without breaking other laws)), but generally you have to around two full blocks if you want to do it. :)

I didnt say that was a good drunk ;)!

I got to work at 140pm, like normal and asked to get off at 245pm so that I could attend a meeting on campus at 3pm about fiscal whatever for campus organizations that may/may not want money from our student government.

So I run run run 'til 240, return to the office and take off again so that I can drop off a package at another lawyer's office ... only to realize, upon my arrival, that this dude's office is closed (last friday too, guess they're closed on fridays now).
Any how, I get to campus only to park far away (forgot that I let my room mate use my parking sticker) and got to the meeting 4 minutes "late" ... it didnt start for another 7, though.
This "meeting" about financial crap, which it was just crap, lasted about 7 minutes as she just read through some hand out they gave us .

Then I went back to work to finish the mail and take a release form to a guy to have sign it.

Sigh.

I have another story about tonight's random desert driving I'll post later

I was the taxi bitch Friday night, it sucked.
Lacrosse and rugby games yesterday, back to back, I tailgated at both then wound up in some random room listening to guys jam on guitar and they convinced me to do a 4-shot of some concoction they had made. I tried buying a cop a bottle of water "because I'd see him later in the night and not want to get arrested", he declined. I passed out on my floor at 7:30, woke up on my futon at 10:30 basically sober. Look in the fridge to only find 4 beers because my roommate had hidden our other case under his comforter so I wouldn't die. What a loser. I spent the rest of night basically sober, but at least the band I went to was pretty good.

I can have fun without drinking, and do regularly. I usually don't drink during the week (Sunday-Thursday), except for rare cases when I'll have a few drinks. It's not fun driving drunk people around, especially when it's places like McDonalds or to/from a party. It's also not fun sitting in my friends house (college owned, upperclassmen can have on campus houses instead of dorm buildings) while everyones listening to music and playing drinking games and I'm just there waiting for someone to call me since I was the pledgemobile that night.

@CrAz3D: We were in this our on-campus made-to-order restaurant. A cop (campus police but they're real police too) was getting a cup of water, and I offered to buy him a bottle of water for the road. I said something like "this isn't a bribe, but I'll probably see you later so keep it in mind"

Our lacrosse team lost by 8 yesterday to the #2 team in the nation, we have a good team and have done well against this team in the past but yesterday just wasn't our day. My high school team has their opening game on Friday, if I can get back home in time (Spring Break starts Friday after classes) I'm definitely going to go. I'll be cutting it really close, so I'll probably miss the opening faceoff.

I thought we lost both ... ?

We lost to Hilltop, like, 8-2 or something. Then, we lost to Scripps Ranch (the better team) only 5-3.

On a side note, our defense is so fucking amazing. If our offense was as good as our defense, we'd be taking league champs this year for sure. Even with our terrible goalie. Oh, and our FOGO didn't lose one faceoff as far as I can remember. :P

I think it sucks. Drunk people are entertaining for about a minute, then they become old hat.

Unless you're drunk, too.

There's a service run mostly by student volunteers here that offers free rides with no questions asked to people who call their number. I believe you can get paid after a while, but most people just do it because of the hilarious experiences. I guess most people who have done it have some pretty awesome stories to tell.

Our school only has a little over 1000 people and everything is in walking distance unless you want a ride into town/neighboring school about 10 minutes away. That's what pledges are for, though.

We have programs here where they go out in pairs, and drive you home in your own car, then the second person picks up the first. I might volunteer for that next holiday season.

Yeah, our campus is in the middle of the city it's in. There are 26,000 undergraduates and I think the city is something like 100,000 people. There's a bar on campus and a bunch of fraternity houses around stuff near campus, but a lot of people go off campus to party and drink, I think (I wouldn't know first hand :)).

I'm not sure what the percentage is, but I'd guess that only ~10% of the people in my college (not university, college -- the college of natural sciences) are involved with "Greek Life."

Lost our first game 11-12 in overtime. What's incredible about that is that we were down by 7 at the start of the 4th quarter (score was 3-10 them). Pole smokers couldn't handle us once we caught on fire. :(

Going camping this weekend, YEAH! Up to the lake, maybe some fishin'.

Tonight I'm studying w/a girl I have in two classes (International Relations and Fundamentals of Intel), she is cute, I should get her number. Must think of a slick way to ask ;).
Last night (working on a group project with her & another dude for our Fundamentals of Intel class) I asked her if she wanted to hook up and study tonight, neglected to get her number, though. She wasn't in class this morning so I lost that chance, too. Tsk.

Why?

On Friday I'm going home, and that afternoon my old lacrosse team has their first home game which I'm going to go to so I'll get to see most of my old lacrosse friends. Then I'm going to be home from Friday-Tuesday morning, I'll probably hang out with 2 or 3 friends but nothing major - probably no parties or anything, mostly I'll try to spend time with my mom.

On Tuesday morning I'm heading to North Carolina (about 20 minutes from Myrtle Beach) to visit my roommate. He and a few other guys that go to my school will get there on Friday, and myself and another friend of mine will get there on Tuesday. On Tuesday we're going to have a cookout (his parents ordered several bushels of clams/oysters) at his river house then we're all heading over to the beach house (5 mins from his river house) for the first night of debauchery. We're going deep sea fishing on Wednesday, and on Thursday we're going to Myrtle Beach. (If any of yall have been there, you know that Myrtle Beach is going to be awesome.) Pretty much every night a bunch of girls are going to come over and we're just going to have a good time. Some other stuff is going on too while we're there but I'm not going to get into every detail. I'll take pictures and put up an album. All I know is from how he's described how this week is going to be, it's just going to basically be perfect for what I like to do.

Chinese exchange student was in College Republicans today talking about a debate we've been talking about a while, he has no real topic for us to debate but already has House of Reps. candidates invited as guest speakers, our local (college) TV station set up to air it, etc. Granted we'd talked about it, but we've never settled on anything so I don't know what this squinty dude is talking about.

I went to the lake camping ... 17 people first night, 11 or so the second night.
Total:
Handles: Jack, Seagrams, Lord Calvert, Smirnoff
Fifths: Jack (2), Crown, Schnapps
Beer: 3 30packs of Miller Lite, 12 of Coors light, 24 of Bud Light, 12 of Shiner Bock

I think more, but I can't remember.

I went on a drunk walk (was going to get wood but decided not to, I guess). Walked away, went to the john, got back and people said "where'd you go, we've been calling for you." I didn't think I was gone too long, but I did get little lost as I recall, haha!

Exactly, I'd rather drink a bottle of water and a bottle of stout or dark ale than a bottle of your light/pale ale shit.

I drink lite beer by choice, not by necessity. In addition to my natty, we also get imports as well so I can drink either one. Natty light is just great for drinking cames versus using expensive imported beer. In short, I'll drink whatever he wants to. Except 151, I won't do that straight again for a long time.

You should definitely try and order a bottle. King of Spirits Gold! I had this AbinstheX stuff, and you could pretty much feel one sip burn all the way through your digestive tract, hence the whole mouthwash-like thing.

But yeah, I can see how 151 would send you over after alternating. I usually don't like switching off between beer and hard liquor, either. Hard liquor is more of my preference

Yeah it's not a good idea, but that night I felt like no alcohol could harm me.

So after a 5 hour drive yesterday I'm at the beach, last night was pretty fun until about 1:30 when everything just went wrong. My friend started freaking out because people were making a mess in his beach house. Something else happened (not really sure what) and 3 people went home instead of staying. One of them was a girl who I like so that upsetted me.
My roommate only opened up the top floor of his house, which has 4 rooms. My friend (who also came down yesterday) and I were told we could have the non bunk bed room but my roommate gave it away to guys who came down Friday. We won it back in beer pong last night though, so we get that room tonight. Last night I was stuck on the fold out couch because some sorority girls were in the bunk bed room.

So now all but one other person is sleeping, and I'm sitting on the deck on the computer eating an orange and watching the ocean. It's a pretty nice day, we're going to my roommates other home a little later to swim in the pool and go sailing and whatnot.

Interesting story: We're coming home last night and see a car with a sticker from a close by all girls school that has a good relationship with my school. We honk at them and invite them to come party, they actually followed us back to the beach house. Turns out they're here until Thursday and staying at a hotel not too far away. They couldn't stay last night but I think they're going to come by tonight, and maybe go to the river house too this afternoon. I'm not too sure, but they were nice and we knew a lot of the same people. One of them actually used to room with one of the guys girlfriends. Small world.

Anyway, just thought I'd update everyone (CrAz3D) on my current doings. Bye.

So sorority chicks were in the room you were supposed to sleep in and you didnt sleep in it WHY?!

One guy who came is a senior in a fraternity on my campus, and his girlfriend is in a sorority at a neighboring school. One of them, the best looking of the bunch, was from a sorority at a different school but she had a boyfriend and was a bitch. Another one I think hooked up with my roommate earlier this week and she stayed with him again last night, and the last one she was alright looking but see the thing is I didn't talk to any of them because 1) I wasn't really attracted to them and 2) I was really attracted to another girl that was here (the one that left). The reason they left is unknown to me, and there are two reasons floating around. The one I liked and another were supposed to come back after they dropped off 2 people but ended up not. Hopefully they'll come by tonight.

Turns out the cute one of the two girls we met on the road has a boyfriend. Sucks.

I know girls who are in the line of work of showing their body in order to get money... they're actual people outside of work and have their own personalities and whatnot. It doesn't make them any less of a person... excuse me for not assuming that you were just very infatuated by a specific female's body.

Here's the story: I went to a strip club for the first time in Myrtle Beach. There was a stripper sitting by herself so I went up and introduced myself and asked if she got on stage (in case she was a waitress or something). She said yes, and I asked when. She said she'd get in line. I sat at the stage for her, ready to give her all of the one's in my wallet. She was easily the prettiest one there, and really young. She didn't look like a stripper, she looked natural and like a normal person. I really really liked her, but then I have to remember her job is to make guys feel like she likes them. After I turned her down for a private dance the first time, she wasn't as friendly to me. When I decided that I was going to pay for the vip room, my friends wouldn't let me do it.

Yeah. It was $30 for 2 songs in a private room, no touching, and a bouncer is in the room too. $140 for 15 minutes, just you and the stripper. The first one that asked me if I wanted a dance explained "Basically, you can play with my pussy and I can play with your dick." Apparently hand jobs and blowjobs aren't uncommon there, but not full service. I wanted to go to the back room just for the experience, but it was pricey for 15 minutes and of course the girl doesn't really like you she just wants your money. I'd probably feel guilty about it.

Is that actually legal?

As far as I understand it, the law in Canada is no touching, period. I assume that either money has to be involved or something for that rule to count.

If it IS illegal (not saying it is, I don't know your laws), might not be the best idea for somebody who is hoping to be in a professional field. Things like that can come back to haunt.

So, I found the one perk to drinking Coors Light (or light beer in general): it has very little taste and is basically water, which means you can put down a can in no time at all and not have to suffer. :P

Yes it's legal to touch. Having sex and whatnot probably isn't, I don't know if that falls under the "two consenting adults" thing or what since the stripper actually rents the room from the club. I didn't go back there so I don't have to worry about it.

Secondly, Quik, I have only drank one time since I've been on Spring Break - and I go back to school tomorrow.

So my friends friend texted him (she and 4 others just left to go to the club) asking if I liked this girl (I do.) Apparently she has a boyfriend, so that sucks. I like this girl too, and apparently one or more in the group like me so that's cool. They're supposed to come back after they're done at the club (so in about an hour and 45 minutes).

Get to party. Really cute chick at party. She is getting buzzed.

Fast forward a while.

She is drunk :(. Now I can't hook up with her, stupid conscience. Also, I find out she has a boyfriend (she's 19, he is 29, WTF!?). From Utah, guess I could have anyway (she was reallllly pretty and quite fun, stupid really drunkness)

that sucks craz3d but at least your party didnt suck. The original 5 girls who showed up (I liked 4/5, 1 the most but she has a bf, and the 2nd one I think likes me.) didn't stay long and went to a club. They were supposed to leave and come back at 2, at 2:10 they told me they were leaving. Texted at 3, they say they're finding the car and leaving and just have to get food and they'd be over. Get a text abour quarter to 4 saying one got a drinking ticket and they'd keep me updated. I sent 3 more texts trying to find out what happened and called, no response so I went to bed. In hindsight I wish I a) hadn't gotten into an argument because it scared 3 other girls who came over away, and b) gone to bed when everyone else did instead of waiting up. Now I'm the first one awake but I'm really tired.

I'm disappointed in my Spring Break, it didn't provide the drunken adventures that I had hoped. I only drank twice and both nights kind of sucked.

The court date should be on the ticket, or at least that is how it's done here. You're also supposed to sign off that the proper address and name is on the ticket, or at least that is how it's done here.

What was your argument about?

long story because you'd have to know him to understand it, but essentially it came down to me getting pissed off at some stuff he said to a female friend of mine on the phone. I called her, he got mad that I got involved when it wasn't my business. We started arguing, he told me to leave. I told him to move his car since I was blocked in, he said no since I was drunk. He started getting up and pointing in my face (I was sitting on the counter) another guy got inbetween us so he wouldn't hit me. I went into my room and closed my door, came back out a few minutes later and grabbed beer and went back in. Apparently he accidentally hit one of the girls (the one that the two girls he was friends with brought along, so she didn't know him) and they were kind of afraid since we were fighting and decided to leave.

Back at school now, sucks. Class tomorrow. :(

should be pretty easy. argue the negative, find data that says the government handouts (i.e. insurance, immigrant-only scholarships, public schooling, etc.) There are so many handouts the government has for immigrants that are unavailable to citizens/natural born citizens that I think it could outweigh the economic benefits. I haven't researched this, but it seems plausible. Also consider the fact that many immigrants come here and work for 6 months, then return to Mexico for 6 months and spend their money there so it's not helping to stimulate our economy. The employers receive a short-term capital gain by hiring cheaper labor, but eventually it will catch up because less people are buying the product because money isn't going back into the economy as it would with American workers.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: CrAz3D on March 20, 2008, 10:25:41 am

In the long run, yeah, it is an economic drain ... that's what all my research shows. But I have to argue that it is an economic BENEFIT. WTF!? Even when there is shit out there that says it's a drain, I have to argue against it. Guess this will be good for days as a politician.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: trust on March 20, 2008, 10:50:42 am

the benefit is that after americans realize immigrants are an economic strain they'll kick them out ;)

I guess just argue the obvious: cheaper wages->business profit->trickle down economics (business puts money into economy, creates jobs, donates money, stock prices rise, prevents recession, etc.) In the short term, this is true so data on that shouldn't be hard to find either.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: CrAz3D on March 20, 2008, 04:43:13 pm

It wasnt. I presented that immigration (as a whole) was a slight economic benefit.
The other side said illegal immigration was a drain (it is).

Both sides illegal immigration is a drain, when asked during the Q&A.

Conclusion: illegals need to go home.

I had my "Consumers & The Law" class twice today, basically. From 11:45-1 I had the actual class and then from 5-630 I and another person in my three person group met with the prof. and he explained our last test and gave us a sample question.

We didn't do so hot on the test, 147/200 points possible (it was curved to like 153 as the highest, though). I understood the concepts A LOT more after in class discussion these last few weeks (test was like 3 weeks ago). And then today's meeting only clarified a few small points and gave me an idea of what format, exactly, that he wants. I will rape the hell out of our next test (too bad it's in class, though).

Normal people refer to that as "class" and "office hours." With most people not going to office hours because they aren't sucking it up in the class..

You should learn to string yourself, not only is it fun it's also a good skill to have because you can tweak your stick until it perfectly fits you. It's also helpful to be able to do sideline repairs for you or your teammates if your sidewall/bottom or top string breaks in a game.

We used to have a dog that was extremely hyper (insane). One time my mom left it in the bathroom (because it would destroy everything in the house and it's too cold to leave him outside), and he crapped a lot, and ran through it, and jumped up the door, and there was literally crap up and down all the walls, across the whole floor, etc.

I got all of the wine out: both my dress shirt and shorts had a ton of wine on and I waited until this afternoon to do it, but it all came out. All I used was stain remover and then washed it...it was white wine though, not red. Anyway, so I go back down to get my clothes and some fuckhead stole the dress shirt that was stained and another shirt from the dryer. Both of these shirts were nice/expensive, so I'm pretty pissed. I had a third dress shirt in there but it is monogrammed so I guess that's why they left it.

No, they can't, that was an ancient tradition and hasn't been practiced for over a hundred years.

The same alcohol is available here...I just choose not to buy it. Stop being a pussy. Franzia boxed wine is actually very good, and it's the same price as a case (24) of beer but equates to 34 beers. I've never bought it, but I'm not going to turn it down.

drinking the entire box of wine would be the same as drinking 34 beers.

Drinking the entire box of wine would be as much alcohol as drinking 34 beers.

I think that's an important distinction. It's like saying that drinking 1 cans of coke is "the same as" drinking 1 cup of coffee, since they have the same amount of caffeine (note: I made up those numbers)

I'd argue that beer is much different from wine. It's only the same, as you said, if you're talking about the alcohol content.

It sucked. I can't divulge the ritual parts, but the majority of the time (like 4 hours) was spent sitting in a candle lit room (blindfolded) waiting for everyone to go through the 2nd part of it because it was done individually. I got back to school at about 2:30, and the parties close at 2 so I just hung out in a friends room until 6 but I didn't drink.

This is how our fraternity housing is set up:
(http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/192/fraternitymapdb0.jpg)

All of those houses in/around the circle are fraternity houses (there's 11) and they don't all throw parties at once, they usually alternate weekends but a lot have been on probation this year so there's been less parties. Anyway, so say at a max there are 3 parties going on...it isn't hard for the police to shut them all down because they're all within walking distance of one another.

Why is the US the only country in North America? Canada's in North America too!

Either that or it's just that only the continents are labeled.

There are some INTENSE garage sale goers.

We had one today for the gov't honor society I'm in. About 830 a dude rolls up in a blue Ford Ranger. The truck BARELY came to a stop before he was out (he left his door open and the truck running, though). He hoped up to the yard and like dove at a pair of shoes that were there. "How much!?" Then he pointed at a sewing machine "How much!? Where is cord!?"

Once he got what he wanted and paid he hopped back in his truck (like nearly jumped in his truck) and sped off.

CRAZY

The shirt is from the comic Everyone Loves Eric Raymond (http://geekz.co.uk/lovesraymond/), which is hilarious if you're at all familiar with the OSS community. :)

where from? You probably didn't, but should have, looked at Brooks Brothers. Nice shirts (wearing one of their dress shirts now) from a very traditional company. They're kind of pricey but generally have specials if you buy multiple shirts.

And to answer your question from earlier CrAz3D:
Had my hearing about an hour and a half ago. The alumni adviser wasn't there, but oh well. I had two people speak for me (one being the guy who drove me home). They ended up offering me an option: dd tomorrow for probably the biggest party of the week or be on weekend probation (can't drink at events we throw) and then DD Saturday night. Most likely tomorrow night will get busted by the cops pretty early, and if that happens I'm off scott free. The bad thing is it's going to be an awesome party and my first off campus one, but I'll still be there since people aren't going to be needing rides the entire time. Also since tomorrow is the middle of the week a lot of girls won't be coming here until Friday so I'd rather be able to drink all weekend especially since those parties will be on campus. Still I'm pretty pissed off because I still feel they fucked me over.

I did look there, actually. I didn't like what I saw on their site (I pretty much have to buy online unless I drive somewhere). Also, they're significantly more pricey than the Land's End I got. I've read good stuff about them. Once I have crazy nice suits I'll spend crazy amounts on shirts, 'til then, $130 on a shirt is high (comparable to what I custom ordered).

I'd definitely take Wednesday, then. If you're there you can chill and just not drink, not drinking isn't that bad ;).

yesterday was a great success.

Woke up, had a little smoke, took a shower/drank a beer, went to class, got back from class/lunch at about 12, made bourbons and cokes until 5, walked to our cookout/band (beer on the way there, then some when I got there), went back to my room and drank some more, then we had our Greek Week concert last night and I was able to sneak beer in so I drank there, then afterwards I went to an afterparty and drank there. Woke up this morning and felt like shit, but managed to shower and drink a beer to wake up some. Classes sucked though.

My last night was awesome! I had a banquet from 7-9pm, had more wine than I realized (sitting down and a sneaky waiter will do that to you). Once I got home we started to play poker, a few hands of Texas Hold 'Em, followed by Kings (Cup).
Then a few of us (the non-lame ones) went to VI (Village Inn). There was a middle aged lady in the booth next to us that must've been DRUNK AS HELL. More drunk than I've ever been in public. She would keep leaning on the back of the bench seat and talk QUITE loudly to us about GOD ONLY KNOWS what. Stuff like "fuck, you guys know, porn, yeah!"

I'm headed to the mall yesterday, stopped at a red light on the busiest street in town. Some girl gets out of the car next to me and says "Excuse me sir, you can find Jesus by calling this number" (or whatever).

I got PISSED. The Mormon card things was IN SPANISH! I'm wearing a cowboy hat, a 'Pearce for US Senate' shirt, I almost can't look any less brown. I wanted to knock on her window and say "Hey, I'm not too mad cause you're cute, but I don't speak spanish."

I plan to work in a place that requires no spanish. I can understand enough spanish to get around ... I just dont like to see it when it's SPANISH ONLY. I was at a buger king in town, they had spanish signs but no english signs ... fucking pissed me off.

best this ever: Fat bitch at some fast food joint greeted/asked a dude what he wanted in spanish. Dude was about 40, tall, husky, brown ... she assumed he spoke spanish but he replied "sorry, I dont know spanish." Fucked up society.

Subway has decent subs, but the vegetables they use (like most fast food places) are about the lowest quality you can find, which is unfortunate. I like my pickles/olives/peppers without nasty preservatives.

What do you call them? They certainly aren't standard "sandwiches", so do you call them "Subway sandwiches" or "submarine sandwiches"? Everybody I know just calls them "subs", whether they're from Subway or Quiznos or whoever.

How much money are you saving with $5 subs? I always thought they cost around that much for a 1ft....

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Explicit on April 15, 2008, 01:04:40 am

Subway figured that rather than people getting the 6" daily specials at whatever price it was before (I think $2.49 or $2.99), they could increase their overall revenue by offering footlongs for $5 and reverting the original cost of the 6" back to what it used to be prior to their daily specials.

To justify their reasoning for you to get a footlong, they say "you're practically paying the same for a 6" as you would a footlong," which compels people to toss in the extra two bucks plus some change.

*shrug*

A little boy is playing with his new football and a little girl asks if she can play. He tells her, "No. These are for boys."

The little girl runs into the house and tells her mother. The next day the girl sticks her tongue out at the boy and waves her new football in his face. The little boy angrily points to his boy's bike and says, "Oh yeah? Well, only boys can get these!"

But the next day, the little girl has the same bike. The little boy gets furious, pulls down his pants, points to his unit, and says, "Look, only boys have these and your mom can't buy you one!"

The next day he walks by and the little girl promptly pulls up her dress, points to her bits, and proclaims, "My mother tells me that as long as I have one of these, I can have as many of those as I want."

I think I broke my ankle at lacrosse yesterday. I jumped for a bad pass and landed on my foot sideways. I heard it crack, but walked it off and kept playing. After practice the pain came back and it's been hard/painful to walk since. I should have put ice on it, but I had a meeting, and now my ankle is huge. Whether or not it's broken, it sucks and hurts and now I can't play lacrosse.

uhm, at scholarship award luncheon the prof that introduced me asked for info from me so he could introduce me. I told him about my Eagle Scout, College Republican stuff, govt honor society, wanting to be a lawyer in business (probably corporate), run for office, then work for a non-profit dealing w/the environment or little kids.

He mentioned the CR stuff and corporate law stuff :-\. One lady that was at a nearby table smirked and made comment to a dude next to her (they're both HELLA huge Dems in the state that contribute to the govt dept). Yeah, I looked like an evil republican, lol.

Thats about how last night went. 2nd most hick party I've ever been to, WEIRD, cause it ended up bein' at my house. Buddy came to town from crazy hick town. Shit, we got fucked up. We killed 120 beers last night and a fair amount of Jack Daniels & "Gordon's VOdka" (hey, it was shit somebody left here about 8 months ago). 12 people.
If I didnt know better I'd say I'm still drunk.

A sober buddy drove me to jack n box, I vomited on the way back (time to go clean my truck), and this whole meal is still sitting on my desk.

I think I've exhausted the 420 weekend. Last night, I probably smoked at least a quarter and I still have 3g sitting in my room. I want to do some more tomorrow (4/20), but I have to go to work... hm.

I got home around 4am and I had Saturday school (for using my cell phone in class) at 8am and I fell asleep during it. They kicked me out and now I'm suspended for two days. I think that's complete bullshit, giving a student an equal number of suspension days as someone would got into a fight at school (I know this because I've been suspended for fighting). I'm going to raise absolute hell on Monday.

I was temporarily banned for doing the exact same thing you're doing. Just want to point that out to the moderators.

Anyway, last night was pretty fun. Drank, went to a party that had a really chill reggae band. Got punched in the chest and slapped in the face (unprovoked) by a friend of last weekends virgin girl. It was gay, like I see her and say hi and she has 3 friends with her and I introduce myself and I get to the third one and instead of shaking my hand she punches me and then slaps me. So I'm just like fuck that and walked away. The night ended all right, but I'm lucky I didn't get a DUI. This girl I hooked up with earlier in the year was there, and she has a Porsche that was parked next to the fraternities. She wanted to stay with me, but didn't want to leave it there so I drove it from there to my dorm (about a 2 minute drive), and a cop followed me the entire way. It took all of my willpower not to just floor it since it was a Porsche.

With that said, check the calendar niggaz.

I think that's complete bullshit, giving a student an equal number of suspension days as someone would got into a fight at school (I know this because I've been suspended for fighting). I'm going to raise absolute hell on Monday.

I'm sure you will be disgusted to know the following:

I opened a tupperware bowl that was on our counter yesterday cause I was going to wash it. Right as I opened it I began to gag. It used to have hamburger in it from GOD KNOWS when. Buddy just left it there.

I mention it to him and he just says "yeah, I left it there so you wouldnt clean it cause I'm going to use it later" WTF!? I tell him to just wash it. But it gets worse

He comes into the kitchen and attempts to just put it in the cupboard in a friggin random place ... not where the tupperware goes ... without washing it. I TELL him to wash it.
He rinses it out, puts a little soap on it, rinses it out again. Closes the tupperware and proceeds to put it back in the random-ass spot in the cupboard.

I just say fuck it, I'll wash it.

BAD told me all about it. Basically, he was walking around downtown late at night, when out of nowhere, a land-dwelling shark zombie jumped him. Normally, shark zombies really are not threat to the awesomeness that is BAD, but this one had been hunting him for quite a while, so it knew his weakness. Knowing that BAD is Asian, and thus, an expert in karate, he knew BAD would try to kick him, so the shark zombie grabbed BAD's foot, and twisted it.

I know, I know, things aren't looking great for BAD at this point. How would he ever defeat the shark zombie? Well, you'll have to ask BAD for the rest of that story.

Well i previously rolled my ankle a couple weeks back and friday we had a big game. so anyways the game goes on first quarter someone steps on my already bad ankle but i fight through the pain. take not that i tape my ankle myself and i do it so that my ankle wont roll as easy. so anyways i play on though all quarters the the last quarter i take a hard step and bam i hear a crack. so i then limp off and rip off the tape with a knife. but anyways it starts to swell instantly and it still is swollen

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: trust on April 28, 2008, 12:53:17 pm

ankle injuries suck. My ankle is still partly swollen and hurts from lacrosse practice 2 weeks ago. I got a bad pass, jumped for it, and when I landed I landed sideways on my ankle. Heard the crack and started limping but kept playing and eventually ignored it. I think the worst part is to keep playing, but when you're playing a sport you love it's hard not to.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: trust on April 28, 2008, 01:11:30 pm

Oh and here's my adventure from this weekend:

Friday: Didn't do much because I had to get up at 7AM on Saturday. Went and saw Harold and Kumar 2, kind of disappointing but I don't really remember much of the movie anyway. The popcorn was really good, and the funniest thing was me ordering . The guy behind the counter was laughing at me the entire time. Fuck him.

Saturday: I went to a horse race in Charlottesville on Saturday, it's a big event with like 25,000 people and it's mostly college students who come there to get completely wasted. The fun is that you dress up (shirt/tie/sundresses) and drink, meet random people from other schools, etc. This was my first time, and it was fun. Within 10 minutes of being there two girls walk up to me and asked me to play their game, which consisted of me tasting their drink and whichever one I liked more was the winner. The girl who had the drink I liked more got to make out with me. I didn't play the game, but I liked the concept. So anyway I start the day with some beer, and then progress to my bourbon and cokes and Southern Comfort and cokes. I did a lot of stuff that I don't remember doing, but nothing bad really. I met a lot of people who I don't remember, and even got turned down by a girl simply because of my age. Everything was going great until she found out I was 18 and she was 22. Her loss.

Anyway, here's where the real story starts: I got stranded at the race. I had gone with my friend over to the Sponsors area (his parents are friends with one of the race sponsors so we went over there to get free expensive cigars.) It started raining. Hard. The other people say I got separated because I was flirting with some girls and walked off, but the way I remember it is that when I left the sponsors area and went back to our tailgate everybody was gone. I got under the tent next to ours, and they gave me some jungle juice they had made. I drank it fast and made friends. One guy told me that since I had nowhere to stay and my people left me, I could stay/party with them back at UVA. They didn't have any more room in their car but if I rode the free shuttle back to UVA then I could call them up. I do this. We get to the campus and I get off of the bus. After getting off I proceed to fall into the street, right under the bus. I'm afraid I'm going to be run over and try to get up. I fail. Finally a girl helps me up, but I am too drunk to remember to try and hook up with her. So I walk to a bench near Jefferson's statue and sit down, trying to figure out what to do. I can't keep my head up and am just sitting on the bench very dirty (my shirt is ruined) basically looking homeless. Eventually 2 guys and a girl come up to me and start talking to me. She gives me a band aid for my knee and takes me phone. Somehow she called a friend of mine who had gone to the race with us but was staying with his girlfriend in Charlottesville. She just happens to be my fraternity brothers sister. They come and get me and I am saved. I the random UVA students thank you and give the girl a hug and a kiss on the forehead. I was very grateful. So when I get back to the house I meet the parents, debate that I had not actually fallen but look like shit for some other reason. Then I fall asleep. The next day I hung around their house for awhile, and around 4 they had a big family dinner at their aunts house. I went to that, and they're Greek so it was big and I love Greek food so I enjoyed this. I ended up getting back to my school last night, about 34 hours after I left.

Nobody's going to read this, it's too long. I was going to write a short version but then I got lazy. Fuck you.

They weren't hot, but probably around a 7.5. I'd hook up with either of them. I didn't play the game because someone they knew who they hadn't seen in awhile walked up to them and started a conversation.

For lunch my boss took the office employees out since one of the secretaries is leaving upon graduation. We went to TJ Pauls', a small lunch joint in a business plaza ... it f'ing rocked my mouth.

I had a club sandwich with duck breast, and awesome sauce, lettuce & tomato, all on a bread with mustard seed. I need to go back. This summer I plan to force many friends to go to this place with me for lunch.

The part I disliked about it was the atmosphere. CRAZY upper class :(. Retardedly designed knives that looked cool but would go all crazy if you tried to rest it on your plate. The waiters had white gloves, they set things down in unison and from the correct side and all. Although, IIRC you set plates down on the right and pick them up on the left, they did not do this when clearing the area.

I would so love to be well off enough to eat at places like that daily. 'Til then, looks like I need to buy a kickass cookbook.

So our classes ended Tuesday, so yesterday I came home. I have to go back tomorrow because I have a Spanish presentation in the afternoon, but it's nice to be home for two days. Yesterday I went to my high school lacrosse practice and got to play with them again, and I'm doing the same thing today. I also needed to have my stuff dry cleaned since it was ruined at the horse race, and I need to get a haircut today.

This weekend is going to be great though. Tomorrow night I am going to a cotillion at another school with this senior I met in February. When I met her she was dating a guy in law school, but they have since broken up. This will be my first time seeing her since Feb. but we've talked on Facebook about visiting each other, it just never happened. I'm staying in her apartment from Friday-Sunday though, so hopefully I have a good weekend.

You shouldn't let people eat/drink/smoke in a car anyway. It's a good way to: grow stuff, get into accidents, and be an idiot.

I eat in the car all the time, even when I'm driving. My knee is almost as good as my hands are at steering.

As far as smoking cigarettes, I don't have any problem with people doing that while I drive, even if I don't.

That'll be interesting, Dante was quite the character. Apparently, a good part of his trilogy was politically motivated, putting his friends in Heaven and his enemies in Hell. Gotta love somebody like that! :)

It was pretty interesting. Basically, nobody really ever talked about HIM, just his enemies and what they were there for.

So, I wrote about how Dante wrote The Inferno with a political agenda, and how it was just to slander or make everyone evil, and to cover it up he wrote two more works so that it didn't look like he was just attacking people.

Something like that. :)

I'd say that's fairly far from the truth. He may have used it for political purposes, but there was also more to it than that; The Divine Comedy is largely recognized as among the greatest religious texts ever written. His work largely represents much of the religious belief of the time.

Compare the number of Christian, Greek, Jewish, Islamic references to the number of Italian political references. It's overwhelmingly evident that this work is much more a reflection of classical mythology and religion than a political attack.

The poem was not supposed to be about Dante, just what he experienced. When they describe certain circles of hell, and the reasons why people might be there, he is able to allude to certain Italian figures that have a very large following, which allows his readers to understand who he is talking to, and why they are there. I mean... if you're talking about a place where people deemed as gluttons are forced to lay in black snow, ice, and hail (i.e. 3rd circle), why not allude to a very popular Italian widely regarded as a glutton, Ciacco? Even when he did converse with him in the poem, he made him out to be a rather respectable person, despite being a glutton.

Dante did live in Caesar's Italy, until the time when he was assassinated, so there was obviously a large amount of sentiment against those who assassinated Caesar (and hence caused the destruction of a unified Italy). As such, Dante includes them, in amongst the most supremely harsh of all places of hell, Satan's mouth. I do believe it was largely politically motivated to place the assassins in a place nearest to Judas Iscariot, who faces the most notorious of all punishments, as I wouldn't consider a mere assassin to be on the same level as a betrayer of the largest religious figure of the time. Well, I wouldn't if I belived in all that, anyway. Hah.

So I'm home for summer! It has gotten off to a good start, after I unpacked my car I went to my highschool lacrosse teams game. They lost, but afterwards there was a scrimmage against a newly started team. The team only showed up with 8 players (you need 10) so I went up to their coach and asked if I could play, since my HS team had to donate some players anyway to make the game work. My old coach said it was ok, and so did their coach so I got to play highschool lacrosse again. Granted, it was only a scrimmage but I still had a lot of fun and scored 4 goals.

Post by: trust on May 07, 2008, 08:43:19 pm

The game didn't count for anything, so it didn't matter. Even if it had counted though they'd still have given them players because my highschool team has a lot of people, and most other public teams in the area are pretty small. It felt good to play with those guys again though.

Hahah, that sounds awesome. But then again, I'm one of the biggest advocates of random, pointless driving.

lol @ my friend's (Derek) mom as I walk in his house. She says to him: "What could you possibly have done with 150$ worth of gas in two days? You didn't go anywhere, you didn't do anything, did you just pour it in the street?" Actually, he just drove around San Diego a lot. At around 1:00 AM, San Diego is awesome for driving.

Also, as I was getting some tires at Firestone today, I saw some street race meetup: Chrysler Prowler, Pontiac Solstice, and a Lotus along with ~5 rice rockets. One of the strangest collections I've seen, heh. They all pulled into Jack in the Box, talked a bit, and pulled onto I-8, doing burnouts the whole way.

He did play since our team didn't even fucking bother trying at all for the first half. 7-12 to a 12-14 loss.

I agree that Miller Lite is gross, I'll only drink it if it's given to me. For instance I saw Girltalk last weekend when I was visiting that girl for the weekend, and when they checked my ID the cop decided to give me an over-21 wristband anyway, which gave me access to the free beer garden (not that the people working it cared if you had a wristband or not, I came to find out)...but anyway they were serving Miller Lite and I definitely took advantage of that.

When she was only drunk she was wondering if she should tell my room mate she has feelings for him. Once mad drunk she just kept yelling it at him. He was busy being handsy on some other chick (not his girlfriend who wasnt there ... probably because everyone there hates her).

I haven't had a drink in over a week, that's not alcoholism. I drink when there's a party and occasionally will have a beer just for the hell of it. It's not something I need.

Oh, and rabbit, getting drunk and going to see Ironman with your nerdy friends does not constitute a social life.

Its pretty impossible to get kicked out of the theater.

Quote from: CrAz3D on May 10, 2008, 12:13:08 pm

Was partyin at a friend's house last evenin' (I hate leaving a messy place :(, fyi) and she was drunk, like mad drunk. When she was only drunk she was wondering if she should tell my room mate she has feelings for him. Once mad drunk she just kept yelling it at him. He was busy being handsy on some other chick (not his girlfriend who wasnt there ... probably because everyone there hates her).

Intense.

Chit happens when you party naked.

So, my friend ... yeah. More story.
For about 2-3 hours we (A) tried to change the subject of MANY conversations from the bashing of his girlfriend [but he keep saying I need this]; (B) tried to get the girl that "loves" him to stop shouting obscenities; and (C) keep my room mate off the decent looking chick.

We failed miserably. He go home at 9 yesterday morning and woke up around 130. Feel bad for his girl friend, she's nice enough and decent looking :'(. She's got emotional issues, ish, him telling her everything and breaking up with her will not be fun. I guess it's good he'll be gone this summer so that there's no chance for them to run into each other? I hope her friends are ready.

There are some pretty jackassy people around though. I've seen parents get all annoyed and complain to a manager a few times, but they should know better than to take their kids to the only theater in University City on a Friday...

I just hope there aren't many parents with kids this Friday who want to see whatever movie we end up seeing.

Cool photos. What kind of camera is that?

If you're any good with photoshop, I've got an idea for you. Grab a tripod, take a photo like the second one, then focus on the guy in the foreground take another, and photoshop it so both are in focus.

Sorry I'd just much rather go to a party on Friday night, or at the very least have a few girls over for a dorm party. The exception is one Friday night when I went skiing with some friends, but that is acceptable. Getting drunk and going to see Ironman and intentionally disrupting parents and their children is just a complete dickhead/loser move.

It really pisses me off when people are noisy/obnoxious in a movie theater. I don't have young kids, but I go to a theater to get into a movie (otherwise, I could just watch it at home with all the classic distractions), and even a small group of people can ruin that for everybody.

Luckily, that kind of thing is rare, here. In these parts, people are generally considerate. :)

0 idea, sidoh. I am super uncomfortable with the thought of pushing it back in, but it doesn't look like I have many choices here.

I can:

1. Push it back in. I am uncomfortable with the thought of something going into my ass, so let's see my other options!
2. Go to a doctor. Preferably have him put me out and he can push it back in.
3. Wait it out. Hope it goes away. If not, see #2.

That pretty much sums up last night. My buddy told me I kept walking saying "I keep walking man, I keep walking!" and then I walked through a bush. I was hammered

But my room mate who cheated on his gf with a chick had that other chick stay over last night. At least he got some? :-\. Poor room mate's ex. She was annoying, but cheating? Ouch.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: trust on May 15, 2008, 04:15:04 pm

Yeah here's the story, I'm going to try to make it brief although I could go into greater detail but it'd be long.

I was visiting another school, where I met a 21 year old who came over to the apartment I was in. She was pretty, but she had a boyfriend and was a senior/21. Anyway she introduced herself to me, and we started talking. Our conversation consisted of her telling me how my school is full of pricks, and me telling her how her boyfriends school sucks even though I want to go to law school there (he was a sophomore in law school). Later that night (like 2:30AM) she posts on the girl I was staying withs wall "I want to friend cute young ginger matt." So I added her on Facebook, her first comment is "boyfriend!"

We talk back and forth on facebook every so often, and then I notice she and her boyfriend broke up. I didn't act on this, even though she told me she could possibly visit me or me visit her. It never happened.

Last weekend it did, I visited her to go to a dance at her school and I stayed the weekend with her. We kissed the first night, and things went well on the Saturday. We went hiking and then partied some the next night (GirlTalk was performing at their school,) and the next day we hung out and kissed goodbye. That Sunday night she considered coming to visit me at midnight, but didn't bc she'd have to leave early. Everything seemed like it was going well, and I had figured we would start dating.

Fast forward a week. She went to Los Angeles for the national horse competition (she was competing) and when she came back she wasn't really returning calls and stuff. I brushed it off as her being busy with graduation this weekend and whatnot. Monday night she calls me and tells me that Tuesday/Wednesday would be a good day to come up (I had planned on staying with her this week) But when I call/text her Tuesday she doesn't answer, and then when she finally texted back she never said whether or not to come or when to come. So I didn't go.

Basically, from the looks of it, it's not going to progress any further. I don't know what changed in this past week, maybe she's just realizing the age difference and the fact that she's about to start life in the real world or something. I don't know, but it sucks and I'm pretty stressed out from it because I really liked her. So I went to the beach for the night to kind of get away from things.

Trust loses.

Edit: And just to clarify, I didn't have sex with, nor did I push the issue, with her. We kissed, and I fingered her on the Friday. I wish I hadn't, though....but it wasn't until we went hiking on Saturday that I really thought I had started to get to know her and wanted to date her. I really wish she had at least let me know what I did or why she doesn't want to hang out anymore, because I can't figure out what happened and it's affecting my happiness definitely.

I finally got fed up with some of the closed minded people on my Ford site.

There is a Bible thumping, racist, Harry Potter burning dude that kept calling me retarded, stupid, etc. Eventually I got fed up and dropped to his level :(. I called him out. The comment I made was about him living in one of his parents' houses (he rents), his horribly failed first marriage, his daughter that he had at age 18-ish, his blinding bigotry, and his inability to have original thoughts.

I guess maybe I went a little far? A lot of other posters were shocked that this dude is such a hypocrite and probably that my response to his attacks was so strong. Oh well I guess.

The garage I'm parked in is closed after 11, so I had to get my dad to pick me up. I'm not exactly sure about how much 99 Cherries I had. It was roughly 2 shots, but there were only 2 shot glasses and there were 3 of us, so I just downed it from the bottle.

Anyway, I know one of my friends has some awesome whiskey. I'm going to find out what it is and see if I can get some.

The garage I'm parked in is closed after 11, so I had to get my dad to pick me up. I'm not exactly sure about how much 99 Cherries I had. It was roughly 2 shots, but there were only 2 shot glasses and there were 3 of us, so I just downed it from the bottle.

Anyway, I know one of my friends has some awesome whiskey. I'm going to find out what it is and see if I can get some.

Best whiskey I've ever had thus far in life is VO.

Our lacrosse team made playoffs... we play #1 seed tomorrow at 11am.

They're damn good. They beat #3 team (Poway) in our division by 8 goals (12-4)... we're pretty much sheep to the slaughter at this point.

Okay, so after I posted that we went downstairs and started partying with a couple of kind of hot chicks. By about 2am I'd had a lot too much vodka, and it ended up taking 2 sober guys to drag me upstairs to my friends place. I have rug burns all over. Details later.

Okay. Whatever. If I had sex I don't remember it. I'm pretty sure it's just cause I passed out on my friends floor, which is covered in rug.

So, here's how last night went:
4pm ~
Happy hour starts, we go to a "restaurant" (mostly just liquor)
I had most of a not completely cooked pizza and 4 Yuenglings. I also had an Irish Car Bomb, a Jager Bomb, 2 Soko & Limes, a too sour lime martini, and at least 3 other shots I don't remember (other people got them for me).
6pm ~
We get the check
6:30 ~
5 of us stumble up about 7 blocks to the theater to see Iron Man at 7
7 ~
Iron Man
8:16 ~
My one buddy left to try and get laid, outcome unknown
9:30 ~
We are confused as to why we can't get into the liquor store that closed at 9.
10ish ~
Afterparty party. I had 2 Guinesses, 2 more Yuenglings, a Golden Monkey, and at least 10 shots worth of SKYY and Blue.

I remember bouncing boobs and falling over a lot. Bleh, I have a massive hangover now.

I was going to insult rabbit, but I'm too upset/pissed off/confused to do so.

I just got back from "visiting" that girl, the one who said she wanted me to come visit. We had planned on going hiking yesterday, so I got up at 6:30AM and drove 5 hours to see her. When I get there she doesn't want to go hiking, instead she needs to get her car detailed so we do that. We come back and she starts talking to her friends, including one who had graduated last year and came back to visit. I'm kind of just there. She says she's going to shower, so I walk over to another apartment (girl's who bf I know) and they say I can stay with them since the girl I was seeing didn't invite me to stay. She was also having a little party in a really nice hotel, because her parents got her a room. I wasn't invited.

Basically my night consisted of getting high and watching a widespread panic concert alone while everyone went to dinner (I didn't want to go.) Then watching TV with the guy I knew and a bunch of other girls who all just kept telling me how much of an inconsiderate bitch this girl was. I didn't even get drunk, I only had like 4 glasses of wine. I didn't feel like drinking or even socializing, I just sat there basically.

The kickers:
She invited me stay in her apartment if I needed a place to sleep, it's just nobody would be there (because they'd be at her hotel.)
While I was there she told me how she wishes we could spend more time together and how she had missed me. (The whole point of me being there was to spend time with her, but she just basically ignored me...she didn't even sit next to me on the couch.)

Seriously, fuck her. Not only did I waste 10 hours driving, about $100 in gas, I also blew off plans with a bunch of people to go see her. I'm done with that, and if she contacts me about hanging out again...I'm definitely telling her how I feel.

nice pics, looks like a good time.

so today was a little better than the past few days. my area is one of the candidates for the Barrage (professional lacrosse team) to move their home to...and today they played a game here, so I went to that. Directly following the game was the girls lacrosse championship (in the same stadium) so I stayed to support our girls team...and they won.

Also apparently this girl on the girls team who's my former teammates sister likes me. Unfortunately her face is cute but her body not so much. Oh well.

between $9,000 and $20,000. Most of them have real jobs because the pay is so low. I'd assume the better ones make decent money off of endorsements, and many run lacrosse camps. One of my highschool coaches actually has a son that plays pro lacrosse, he's actually one of the best players in the league.

Funny: I was talking to a guy who plays on the 45 year old US Team (US team for older people I guess) and he was like..."I think you're the kid that hit me in the balls last year in summer league."

Apparently I was playing crease attack and got a pass and came down and the ball hit him in the balls (he was goalie)...it was kind of awkward him bringing that up, but kind of cool that I hit a team US player in the nuts. haha.

So today I leave for the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. Yet, my mind is not necessarily on my summer research but mostly on how I can take advantage of the 10 weeks I will be in a place I’ve never been before, do not know anyone, and may never step foot in ever again afterwards. As a result, I’ve realized that this is a great opportunity for me to intentionally step out of my comfort zone and try to improve some of the things that I dislike about myself, fully knowing that I will likely fail miserably at first or make a complete fool of myself.

Why? Because as I enter my senior year I’m starting to feel like I’ve really done only the bare minimum to improve myself socially. Albeit, compared to how I was in High School I’ve definitely “blossomed” so my boss Kim would say. But I’m beginning to feel like it isn’t enough. In truth, I’ve only focused on improving my socials skills in areas that I felt were the most necessary to succeed- academics and the workplace/job. However, as I enter my last year of undergrad I’m starting to regret putting forth so much half-heartedness in improving myself socially overall, which has caused me to not be very socially well-rounded.

It’s ironic because I did have an opportunity two years ago that I could have taken advantage of but did not, where some of my friends and former roommates came up with the idea of getting me laid- they even created a Facebook group with the sole mission of turning me into a party animal, lol. This opportunity would have served as a good fake cover for me to take a few blows to my self esteem and learn to improve myself in one area where I am the most socially inept- the opposite sex :P.

In all honesty, my friends put forth a valiant effort and I appreciate the thought, but in my mind I never really took the whole thing seriously. I did what I always did up to that point in this area of my social life and gave a half-hearted effort. I wasn’t willing to step across the invisible line separating getting hurt and not getting hurt, as I tend to avoid taking unnecessary risks that may lead to rejection or failure.

Anyways, there is no better motivator than yourself. That's why I've decided to start with the basics and use some of the advice my friends have given me, i.e. smiling and saying hello to a random stranger at least once a day. I should stop worrying about failing and making a fool of myself, because hey, even though it ain’t Vegas- what happens in Indiana stays in Indiana right?

I wasn’t willing to step across the invisible line separating getting hurt and not getting hurt, as I tend to avoid taking unnecessary risks that may lead to rejection or failure.

Anyways, there is no better motivator than yourself. That's why I've decided to start with the basics and use some of the advice my friends have given me, i.e. smiling and saying hello to a random stranger at least once a day. I should stop worrying about failing and making a fool of myself, because hey, even though it ain’t Vegas- what happens in Indiana stays in Indiana right?

I agree, to a point. I force myself to be more social on a regular basis, although I do it for myself, not for others. Just be careful walking that line, that you're doing what you're doing for you, and nobody else. Don't do something you really don't want because others want you to, that's where problems start.

I had a fun weekend.

My friend and I rented out a hotel for the weekend, Friday to Sunday morning. We had about two 24-packs of beer, a fifth of vodka, and of course, about a quarter of weed. All that was gone the first night. There were about 10 people there and all that was gone. lol. People refer to me as the "tank." I had about 15 beers along with 6 shots of vodka with some weed and was still perfectly fine. If you drink a lot and smoke weed, you minimize your hangover the next morning. FYI. :)

@Newby: I am the master of beer pong. I was on a team with this girl, and me and her totally destroyed everyone. There was one game where every time we went, we made it in. :)

Fucks

Friday night:
I go to bed at 11 cause I am gonna get up at 5 to go to the lake. I stopped drinking (and it wasnt heavy) at 930. Around 1 I woke up feeling ill (pizza + beer + burger = me having an upset stomach). My room mate gets back with his new fuck-buddy around 130-2. They talk in the living room LOUDLY. They go to his room :( [cuz I can hear stuff, if you know what I mean]. I hit the bathroom to vomit and sit in the warm shower. I get out and hear them gettin' it on :(. They fall asleep around 320. I FINALLY fell asleep around 4.

Saturday:
Up at 8. Nothing to eat so I have two small fruit cups. I hit Wal Mart for snacks, water, and beer (goin' to the lake). I get bagels and bananas too. I ate 1/2 a bagel on the way up to the lake. I get there at 1030 but no one is answering their phone :(. I drive around an hour, finally they call me. 30 minutes later I find the place.

At the cabin is a dude I know, drunk as HELL. My friend, Gus, convinces thi guy, DJ, to stay at the cabin to sober up while we're on the houseboat. We leave. A while later we see THREE ambulances and two ranger trucks pull up. Crap! DJ passed out on the side of the street sprawled out with beer around him. There is an awesome picture, I'll post it if I get it. The rangers dropped him off at the Circle K about 10 miles away. He called Gus but Gus didnt answer as we had bad cell reception on the lake. The voicemail was: "Come get me. I'm at the Circle K. Take a right, and a right, then a right, and a right." He hitch hiked back and ended up on the shore arms up staring at us saying "What the fuck am I supposed to do!?" We took him to a hotel later.

Once we were back on land I picked up drinking (I drank on the house boat, but not much or fast). I drank a lot too quick, especially for not eating. I don't remember 7 'til pass out time. I DO remember holding my sleeping bag as I was about to walk to my truck to pass out in the back seat, but people told me to stay. They wouldn't tell me where I should sleep, just to stay at the cabin.

While in bed I heard a dude's mom and her horny boyfriend talking. He kept wanting some :(. That was not good that we were all in that room (it was them, me, and about 6 other friends).

Sunday:
I'm talkin with Gus and notice this crusted something on my shorts. He said I spilled beans a lot last night. Later that morning when I went to change into a clean shirt I realized I was already wearing it. The shirt I pulled out of my bag was covered in beans, ha.

We picked up DJ. He said he called Gus that morning and left a message saying "Uhm, dude, can I come back? I'm bored." hahahaha!

Yeah, I won't do that not eating and then drinking thing again. At least I woke up with out a hang over!

So we're leaving Georgia today, :( . The Braves game was fun, but they lost which sucked. With our seats we had this BBQ Buffet and unlimited Bud/Bud Light on tap so my dad and I did some damage on the free beer.

Last night we were going to go to Emeril's restaurant in Atlanta because my mom is a big fan of Emeril. I went on their website and booked reservations for 9:30 and we get there and it no longer exists. Apparently it closed at the end of April and they just decided to keep the website up and not mention it closing. We spent like 45 minutes looking for it. We found another pretty good restaurant though, so that was good since we didn't have reservations.

They've shown with brain imaging scans that people who drink (on average) the equivalent amount of alcohol as about 3 glasses of beer a day, for several years, develop brain shrinkage, and have decreased scores on intelligence tests.

Quote from: Michael on May 25, 2008, 01:34:42 am
So today I leave for the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. Yet, my mind is not necessarily on my summer research but mostly on how I can take advantage of the 10 weeks I will be in a place I’ve never been before, do not know anyone, and may never step foot in ever again afterwards. As a result, I’ve realized that this is a great opportunity for me to intentionally step out of my comfort zone and try to improve some of the things that I dislike about myself, fully knowing that I will likely fail miserably at first or make a complete fool of myself.

Why? Because as I enter my senior year I’m starting to feel like I’ve really done only the bare minimum to improve myself socially. Albeit, compared to how I was in High School I’ve definitely “blossomed” so my boss Kim would say. But I’m beginning to feel like it isn’t enough. In truth, I’ve only focused on improving my socials skills in areas that I felt were the most necessary to succeed- academics and the workplace/job. However, as I enter my last year of undergrad I’m starting to regret putting forth so much half-heartedness in improving myself socially overall, which has caused me to not be very socially well-rounded.

It’s ironic because I did have an opportunity two years ago that I could have taken advantage of but did not, where some of my friends and former roommates came up with the idea of getting me laid- they even created a Facebook group with the sole mission of turning me into a party animal, lol. This opportunity would have served as a good fake cover for me to take a few blows to my self esteem and learn to improve myself in one area where I am the most socially inept- the opposite sex :P.

In all honesty, my friends put forth a valiant effort and I appreciate the thought, but in my mind I never really took the whole thing seriously. I did what I always did up to that point in this area of my social life and gave a half-hearted effort. I wasn’t willing to step across the invisible line separating getting hurt and not getting hurt, as I tend to avoid taking unnecessary risks that may lead to rejection or failure.

Just be careful walking that line, that you're doing what you're doing for you, and nobody else. Don't do something you really don't want because others want you to, that's where problems start.

Exactly one of the reasons why my friends' mission failed. Feeling pressure from someone other than myself makes me do things half-heartedly. e.g. All the relationships I've been in have been half-hearted- I continued with them even though I was not interested in the person because I felt like I was being pressured by the person who introduced them to me.

Heh, I'm the same. When somebody tells me to do something, that often discourages me from doing it. "If you push, I'll pull". The difference is, I don't try to humour them at all. :)

No offense, but stop being a bitch. I'm pretty introverted, but that doesn't make being social with women that much harder. It's weirder to them if you act all weird around them, I mean just be friendly it's not like you're proposing to them. If they don't like you, fuck them. There's girls that think I'm a huge prick, but there's other girls who think I'm the sweetest person ever. Girls have led me on, girls have confused the hell out of me, and a few have flat out turned me down. But I've done all of those things to girls too, you just have to remember not to be their bitch and if you get turned down just keep on truckin'.

That's probably the most important thing I've learned in college. In highschool the girls I knew I had known since elementary or middle school, but in college there's always new girls to meet so if it doesn't work out with one then there are always more.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: trust on May 26, 2008, 10:21:04 pm

oh and two tips

1) alcohol helps. this goes both ways because it makes it easier for you to talk to girls, and it makes girls do things they wouldn't do sober such as walk to the bathroom completely naked in a male dorm or answer "I want you. you're gorgeous" when asked "what kind of liquor would you like?"

2) I think you said you don't drink, or don't drink frequently. That's cool. Just look for a girl that shows some sign that she's slightly interested. This happens more than you'd think you just have to pick up on it because it can be really subtle but at least I can usually tell by the way they smile at you (if they don't smile then they probably suck and just move on)

Dunno. This just happens to have the potential for working out for me. It's not supposed to be a reunion or anything; it's just possible I'll be in the area and it'd be cool to see some of the people from here.

I have a bunch of family in CA near Corona, so I might be out there sometime too. I think Ergot and Quik live near there?

My folks' health insurance company is trying to be reimbursed for medical expenses they paid out in relation to my jeep accident in 2004. I'm ticked for the following reasons:

1) Everything was finished 3.5 years ago! WTF are they calling now!?
2) They sent a letter to my parents, not my lawyer. I called the ins. co. (Blue Cross Blue Shield) and told them the phone number and mailing address. They've mailed him the same letter my parents received and this morning I got a call (at the office, I work for the lawyer) saying they want to negotiate reimbursement.
3) A letter dated Nov 12, 04 says "We view this claim as non-recoverable. If the amount of coverage changes or circumstances of coverage change please contact us. BCBS has elected not to seek reimbursement." Coverage never changed.

Stupid insurance companies. What sucks is that I'm about 99.9% that this sort of thing happens to everyone. The bad part is that some people end up not having documentation/a lawyer/etc. and end up with a $60k lien on their home ($60k is the amount of my med expenses).
I can understand them wanting reimbursement and trying to collect the first time around, but after saying the claim is non-recoverable and coming back 4 years later I'm a little unnerved.

fuck I just got back from a job interview for a day camp counselor (old assistant lacrosse coach is assistant director but he's not really doing the hiring) and it looks like I'm not going to get it.

I wanted to do the adventure camp which is older kids and basically all I'd do is go on field trips...paintball, rock climbing, laser tag, etc...so it'd be really fun. I'd be done about 4:30 and have weekends off. I was really enthusiastic. I go in and the lady basically tells me that they have too many applicants all wanting to do the adventure camp and not enough kids enrolled to hire everyone, so it's pretty competitive. She said she will talk to my lacrosse coach, but essentially wanted to know if I would be willing to do two weeks only of specialty camps (HTML for 4th/5th graders, and an investing camp for 6-8th graders) I don't want to do either of those if I can't do the entire summer, it's pretty pointless. I hope somehow I get selected to do the adventure camp, but it doesn't look too good right now.

My routine Thursday nights for the last three months has been as follows:
-Leave work at 5pm
-Home and quick dinner
-Hit an office place to do calling for a guy running for US Senate

The last 3-4 times I've gone no one has been at the building to let me in so I have to call some lady (the lady that's supposed to be there). I usually spend a good 20-30 minutes just WAITING to start calling people and interupting their supper. Last Thursday I waited 45 minutes :mad:. Today, after about ten minutes I said "f*ck this" and left. The election is Tuesday so the campaign might need the help, but I'm sorta big on the phrase "You gotta help me help you."

So here I sit, drinking a beer before dinner with friends at 730 at a nice mexican joint.

Well, college and such isn't for everyone. It's just unfortunate that it's hard to find a decent job without.

I thought you said you recently said you weren't addicted to smoking? (found it (http://www.x86labs.org/forum/index.php/topic,12170.msg152408.html#msg152408)!)

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: trust on June 02, 2008, 07:18:57 pm

I didn't mean cigarettes. I'm just afraid I'll finish college, get a job, get married, have kids, etc. and then work until I retire. I won't get to see and do all of the things that I want to do that you can really only fully enjoy while young. I think I'm also just worried because I don't know exactly what I want to do.

But at the same time, if I drop out (or take time off) I probably won't be successful in the long term. So basically I can be miserable now or be miserable later. Most likely I'll choose to finish school and then move some place tropical or to a big city for my 20's, as kind of a compromise. I'll be graduating when I'm 21 so I'll still be pretty young.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: iago on June 02, 2008, 07:36:52 pm

Definitely a tough question. I've always personally been in favour of hard work up front to get pleasure down the road.

On the other hand, in retrospect, I sort of envy people who people who do something that they enjoy instead of going to school. You can often get further (at least, in some fields) without school, if you're good at what you do. Most of my co-workers never went to post-secondary school, but at the same time I wouldn't have my job without my degree.

*shrug* like I said, it's a tough question. :)

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: CrAz3D on June 02, 2008, 08:06:18 pm

A) Trust, don't be a fool, stay in school. How many people do you know that are ground-up-successful that quit college? I'd bet not as many as the number of people that are successful with college degrees. It opens a lot of doors.
B) iago, I don't think he is addicted to cigarettes ... I'd guess that he is referring to pot.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: trust on June 02, 2008, 08:38:03 pm

The only thing I would miss out on by leaving school are the connections, particularly since my school has a very close-knit alumni connection that provides many jobs right when leaving school simply because you graduated from the school. At the same time, I could make even better connections where I moved to, or I could end up being a bum...it's definitely a gamble. It's also a gamble I probably won't take. Maybe I'll try it out next summer or something, but I doubt I'll be able to convince a friend to quit school with me and I wouldn't be able to do it alone (mainly because of rent).

yeah pot but I'm not addicted to it but i smoked a lot while i was at the beach over the weekend (really relaxing) and am just kind of in that happy state where I'm not really concerned about 10 years from now.

I think it's the opposite for me. I can't wait to finish college, get a job, get married, have kids, etc. then work until I retire. In fact, if I'm not married by the time I'm 40, I'm probably going to be seriously contemplating killing myself just because it's better to be dead than to let my loneliness consume me. At the end of the day, I think what matters the most to me is raising a family. Sure, it would be nice to live carefree, do everything I could ever want in life while I'm young, but to me that's all superficial compared to raising a family and through them creating my mark on the future... years after I'm dead... is much more significant in my eyes. However, I'm going to need some financial backing to raise a family in the 21st century, so if I have to sacrifice some of my joy while I'm young to make sure my future family can live a decent life (shooting for at least upper middle class :P) then so be it.

Seriously, this is the only thing that's keeping me from making a final decision on whether or not to go straight to grad school after I graduate next year. I fear not that my years of youth are running out and I won't be able to do all the cool things in life, but that by the time I start looking to settle down, it'll be too late- all the Ms. Rights out there will be Mrs. Rights.

Yeah, I have strange fears.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: trust on June 02, 2008, 09:44:39 pm

There will always be women, however you will not always have your youth. I want to marry around 30, so that way I've experienced enough before then to satisfy myself (hopefully), then I can travel with my wife and experience the joys of marriage for a while, then I can start raising a family and enjoy raising children. My fear is not experiencing enough stuff before I die, and I want to experience each stage to the fullest.

What will most likely happen is I will finish my 4 year then move to a place like the Florida Keys for a few years, then go to business school in a big city then raise a family somewhere in a quiet southern suburb.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: while1 on June 02, 2008, 09:53:28 pm

Yeah, I'm not sure what kind of career you plan on, but to me it doesn't seem practical to plan out where you're going to live. I'd think most would go where ever they can find a good job... I guess my outlook on the job market is a bit pessimistic though.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: trust on June 02, 2008, 10:13:51 pm

I'm really concerned about living life while I'm young, because I don't know how much time I have left to live. A year and two days ago a girl I knew (along with her boyfriend and friend) were killed in a car accident. I didn't know her well, but she lived about a block away from me and I had a class with her as a freshman (she was a year older than me). Anyway, I took her death pretty hard last year and the anniversary of it I guess is just bringing those feelings back to the surface. It just reminds me that we can die at any moment doing normal everyday things. (They were on their way to West Virginia and were hit by a tractor trailer. It didn't appear as if they had done anything wrong and alcohol/drugs were not involved.)

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Sidoh on June 02, 2008, 10:32:07 pm

I feel your pain Trust. I wonder a lot how much I'm missing out on life by having my priorities arranged how I do. I'm much less keen to try "new and exciting" things than most and what I'm already comfortable with isn't considered all that exciting by the majority of people. I guess I'm more concerned with my future, which is what motivates me to be so conservative and studious. I try to stay out of illegal activities and keep my grades up so I can get a good job and get into a good grad school. I spend a ton of time on my schoolwork, but I'm fortunate that I love what I'm doing. I'm doing a software engineering job this summer and I'm loving it.

Anyway, hope you figure it out, Trust. I'm sure I don't need to say it, but I think you should stay in school. It seems like you'd be kicking yourself in the future if you can't get a good job because you don't have a degree. I know you say you plan to go back and get a degree no matter what, but I've heard from so many people that it's REALLY hard to go back to school and get into the swing of things again once you've left indefinitely.

Post by: CrAz3D on June 03, 2008, 05:30:05 pm

Chain of events:

Friday: Talkin to friend, she says she goes back to school on Friday to move into her new house and start summer school. She suggests we hang out because she misses me. Exact words: her: "I leave Friday, we should do something" me: *Random small talk* her:"So do you want to hang out before I leave? I miss seeing my Tyler!"

Monday: I ask her what sounds good, figuring we'll all (her, me, friends) go where ever. We decide on Texas Roadhouse.

Today: I ask if she has anyone going so I can call ahead. She replies: "Just you and me :)!"

Question:
Should I take this as a "hey, I miss you. You and I should go out." or a "Hey, I miss you guys. We should all hang out." I'm thinkin the first one could mean a little summin-summin. She's a really fun girl, maybe have fun with her over the summer and all. I'll be going up there this fall/summer to check out the law school there and all. Maybe take a course for Oct's LSAT.

There are a couple different girls that I go for lunch with alone, but we both know it doesn't mean anything. We just go as friends. Perhaps that's all she wants?

That's my figuring. My hoping, on the other hand, is reading everything at face value "I miss you" "Just you and I:)! [for dinner]". Eh well. I'll go out to dinner, have a good steak, buy her dinner, come home and play poker with folks and see if she wants to join.

DTF = Down to fuck. buy them for her or get a bottle of wine or something and go back to your place or her place and talk, watch a nice movie, or something.

It's obvious she doesn't want this to be a group thing. Don't make it one.

Dinner was good.
rabbit, dude set down bill I set credit card on it about a minute later ... she said thanks, no mention of her paying.

Played poker tonight with her & friends at my house, decent. I've realized that poker is better when drunk.

Then we all went to play tag at the stadium. We met up with more people there. I've realized that tag at the stadium is better when drunk.

Too bad this chick leaves town Friday, she's pretty awesome. Eh well I guess. Maybe some one else fun will come along.

tag? yall need to go back somewhere where you can be alone and have some drinks. take her out for oysters. I guess yall aren't near the beach so I don't know how that will work out. But anyway, she probably likes you and probably wants to either have sex with you before she leaves or (is she coming back?) progress into a relationship.

I got a call back today about this camp counseling interview I did. She didn't say in the voicemail if I got the job, she said she wanted to "finalize my employment" but I'm not sure if it's the position I wanted or not so I might not take it. (she didn't answer my return calls). Anyway I'm not sure if they require a drug test but I'm worried about it.. anybody have experience/know if the GNC detox drinks work well?

It's just a regular urine test. I got the job, she wanted me too come in for orientation tomorrow but I got it pushed back to the 16th. I'm assuming I'll have to do the test then. I know they make you do one because my friend also got a job there and he had to. I've smoked about an 8th since thursday of last week. I have 12 days to do this, and I'd prefer to not get a detox drink because they're expensive.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!

So, story time:

I went to Tropical Smoothie Cafe about an hour ago to get a smoothie, I walk up and see two girls in front of a makeup stand. One is extremely attractive, the other is fat and black. Anyway I figure I'm about to get harrassed for donations or something, but I walk up and she just says hi and I say hi and she says she likes my shirt and I tell her I like hers too and would wear it if I were a girl. She says thanks or something like that and I walk inside. I had forgotten my wallet so I walk back out and get it and come up and we talk again. As it turns out she's a senior (and the black girl just graduated) from a school that's about 4 miles from mine. They say how much they love my school and party there all of the time. Anyway so I talk to the pretty girl for awhile, she's a senior so she's 2 years older than me. They kept saying how I was cute and nice and I guess that's a good sign. I bought makeup for her to give to my mom, but only so I could talk to her more. She gave me her name and told me to add her on Facebook and that she'll introduce me to her younger sorority sisters next year.

I started to give her my number and she said she couldn't take it because she was on the job (but there wasn't anybody there supervising her...so this confused me especially since she had just texted). Plus she could have just given me her number. Anyway she told me to just add her instead. I think I'm going to ask her out, I hope this works out especially after that last situation.

Younger sorority sisters, not the older one.

Reasons:
- If you fuck up stuff with the older chick you dont get ANY young ones
- Young ones = multiple = better chances
- If you impress the older sister by just hanging out with her you can get "an in"

Post by: trust on June 04, 2008, 06:55:17 pm

I'm going to wait until later tonight or tomorrow to add her so I don't look desperate, and then see if she's going to Harborfest this weekend (which is a big festival in my city all about the water and boats and the fact that we're a harbor and there's lots of bands and stuff) and then see if she wants to meet up.

I'm definitely attracted to her physically and would like to get to know her better. Even if we don't date or anything, she's a good resource to meet her sisters.

I agree with CrAz3D too, but the thing is if she likes me she lives near me and that's good for the summer...

No she goes to a school about 5 minutes from mine. She gave me real information, I checked it on Facebook.

Well I mean I want to meet a girl I like and nothing goes wrong, like has happened with the past few I've considered dating. I'm not going to obsess over it, but if something comes from this then that would be awesome. I just didn't want to add her right away because I don't want her thinking it's like the first thing I did...but I see what you mean, I'll add her now.

Regarding the drug test, detox kits don't often work and definitely won't work if you get your hair tested. The best way is to buy artificial urine and to use that. You just strap it around your lower waist and a tube runs down to your pants, to ensure that you're discreet. Only advanced testing (like if they send it to a lab) can reveal artificial urine.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: CrAz3D on June 05, 2008, 01:13:25 am

so I was badgered about my date-esque event last night by friends that didnt know I went out.
Then people that WERE here last night bombarded me with questions, err, more like "DUDE! WTF, she totally waited around FOREVER before she left and then you just hug her at the door?! She totally wanted you to walk her to her car at least!" (This is all from the chick friends). I guess I learned the hard way? I felt stupid for not walking her all the way to her car, I did walk her out to the porch but she kept walking til I said "Hey, I'll see ya later on" and huggage. Sigh.

Hingsight being 20/20, she did hang around a lot longer than she said she was gonna ... and even when saying "bye" it look like 45 minutes for her to leave. Stupid.

It's a urine test for employment so I don't have to be discreet, really. Like I'm not going to be watched or anything. I don't think I smoked enough for me to need to get fake urine. I'm just going to stay hydrated, maybe get a detox thing, exercise, sit in the sun, etc. and try to just sweat/urinate it all out.

I'm kind of mad though because I was gonna go see this reggae band on sat. night but now I might now. Plus the Wailers are going to be here Friday at that festival so I was going to see them. Oh well, because I guess once I get this test I'm good for the rest of the summer.

when we were leaving campus (hung out there) I kept saying I'm going to sleep ... the ex and another good friend wanted to play poker. Shit. We didnt want to come back to house cuz room mate here fucking the chick he cheated with. Uh oh? Yes uh oh.

We get to house but make ppl stay outside talking, constantly saying "I'm going to sleep" ... doesnt really work:(. She wants to see dog. Fuck it.

Maybe if room mate hadn't cheated this wouldnt be so awkward for everyone else? ho hum

And a helicopter comes over, and nobody really cares, everyone's laughing, but then it circles again, and again
And now it's got a searchlight on us
So I'm just like "Fuck it, I'm hungry, lets go get some Taco Bell"
Me and about 4 others go down there
We hear something about cop cars around, so we're starting to think it's a little more legit
But at this point we still weren't sure
We get to taco bell, I call Friend C "Hey, what's up?" (he was still up there, didn't leave)
"Dude, we're fucked, we're getting rolled, don't come back. /click"
I go outside, helicopter is much lower and circling tighter, for sure on the hill and I hear from a loud fucking loudspeaker "THIS IS THE POLICE. COME DOWN TO THE STREET, WE KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU THERE ARE, SO DON'T TRY TO RUN"
And we start freaking, calling everyone
C and S just walked off the hill together, holding hands trying to look all inconspicuous, and pass FZ0 and A on the ground in handcuffs
And basically, a bunch of people were able to make it
A few people hid up in random spots near the hill
FZ's mom came and talked him out of serious trouble down to just a warning

My story as told over AIM to people and copypasta'd removing names and screen name. I'd expect a much more in depth and epic win story from Newby tomarrow, but we were together for most (All?) of it, so it's the same plotline, luls.

so I didn't go to my friends hotel party instead I went to another girls beach house since she invited everyone from our sand lacrosse team (she was on it too) over. wasn't a party since we couldn't stay so I just had a couple beers and we played pool and fooseball and went down to the beach and stuff. the only interesting party is that my friends/teammates sister was there, and she was at the beach with us all day. I've known for awhile that she likes me, but it was obvious yesterday. She's cute, but she has big legs so that's a major turnoff. Plus she's a rising senior in highschool. One of my friends who was there (actually the one who told me she liked me) overheard her tell the other girl that she was definitely going to kiss me tonight. I didn't want to lead her on so I didn't get into a position where she could. It's ashame because she's cute and really really sweet but she just has fat legs.

Looking forward to Newby/Towelie's story..sounds pretty crazy.

Cops are fucking retarded

Friends and I have a small end-of-summer party (Aug 07), about 17 people we counted. At 1030pm cops walking around the neighborhood (they lied on the police report, said someone called about noise disturbance) knocked so we openned the door (plain clothes too). In the end, the cops tell everyone to leave and two of us that live here get cited for allowing ourselves to be served, the other dude that lives here got the city's version of providing alcohol to minors (state version is a felony).
Ok, fine, whatever, got that taken care of now.

Fastforward to very recently. Some chick my sis knows had a party and she (the friend) was the only of-age one there. Allegedly, once busted, the really young kids at the party (15 and 16) kept telling the cops "I'm sooo drunk!" In the end the cops cited no one and said only that everyone under 19 had to leave.

WTF kind of sense does that make!? Come on, seriously.

A) Is L cute? Hit that.
B) Curfew?! WTF ... stupid left coast

Conclusions: LOL! Awesome story.

Reminds me of our bonfire/helicopter story.
There are dirty pits in the desert near the hospital in town we used to party at. Dudes would load up trucks with wood palettes taken from a tractor-trailer at Lowe's.
One night we were out there with a couple of kegs and all, just chilling. A helicopter starts circling. We get calls from people saying that there are two cop cars sitting at the end of the paved road to get out to the fire spot.
Fire spot: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=32.338427,-106.722817&spn=0.002289,0.004699&t=h&z=18
Cops at that intersection: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=32.327009,-106.721331&spn=0.002289,0.004699&t=h&z=18

Since the cops weren't stopping anyone we kept partying. Friends were coming out so the directions to the party spot I gave were as follows:
"Go up Lohman, past the hospital and then take a left at the cops. Go straight and then make a left ... try to find the fire or call again."

When we left we all waved at the cops as we drove by :D!

MF wrote up about the story but he didn't put much detail into it. He just commented that nothing like this has ever happened in the last decade around here.

And yeah, FZ had a goat viagra on him. We were pressuring him to take it and he said he'd take it later. He got searched with it. :P

Then people that WERE here last night bombarded me with questions, err, more like "DUDE! WTF, she totally waited around FOREVER before she left and then you just hug her at the door?! She totally wanted you to walk her to her car at least!" (This is all from the chick friends). I guess I learned the hard way? I felt stupid for not walking her all the way to her car, I did walk her out to the porch but she kept walking til I said "Hey, I'll see ya later on" and huggage. Sigh.

Hingsight being 20/20, she did hang around a lot longer than she said she was gonna ... and even when saying "bye" it look like 45 minutes for her to leave. Stupid.

Shit. I feel MORE stupid now.

ok i have a problem some of you may or may not know so here it is. i am doing some lighting in my car with some cold cathodes ( the ones you use to light up your computer) anyways i need to find out which wire is positive and which is negative. here is a picture of the thing and the switch. i am guessing it is positive because that would complete the circut but i am not sure. and what are the consequences if i reverse the order? ie put the positive wire to ground and the negative to the fuse?

If the manufacturer of the switch dongle follows standards (most likely), then white is power and black is ground. If you get them backwards, the switch will either not work at all or work backwards (on = off, off = on).

LSAT on Monday. Freaking out. Last night I was tossing and turning, dreaming that I had it THIS morning. Dreamed that I was going to wake up late, not have my ticket, etc.

I've spent hours over the last few weeks flipping through the puzzles, logic/reasoning, and reading comprehension sections ... I hope I do well.

What is it? 5 hours of straight testing? Oye.

God willing, me too more especially, I can get into Baylor spring of 09. Here's to hopin', praying', and a whole lot of studyin'.

I always thought that praying for help on an exam is a rather selfish thing to do. Take your case for example. There are children starving for God's sake, and you need help to get your foot into the door of a profession that is widely considered to be that of liars and thieves.

If I were you, I'd go in with a sword strapped to my back. It'll be a huge confidence booster.

beach is pretty chill. I've been trying to learn to surf and it's so much harder than it looks and I have a terrible rash from it which sucks. this girl that likes me went with my roommate and i to mellow mushroom (my first time going, they don't have them near me...had a live band which was pretty cool) and then to the hookah bar (with another band there). She was going to come back and hang out and then stay the night ( ;D ) but my roommate ruined that. I don't think he wants me hooking up with her since they're good friends. He told her to plan on staying the night tonight so maybe it will work out. Bad thing is other girls are coming over today and if I like them then I have a dillema whereas if she had spent the night last night there wouldn't be.

It's a hippie-themed pizza chain with like big mushrooms all over the place and stuff. It's pretty cool.

He's suggested that I try talking to her (as in to date) but I don't want to date her because even though she's fun she's crazy liberal and doesn't live near me. By the way, what I said about a dillema was true. Only one girl came over but she's is very attractive and really cool, and she said I was cute...we're going on a club boat tonight so maybe I'll try I don't know. She's 20, and my roommate and I are going to go visit her at her school in NYC for Halloween and she said 2 of her friends would like me a lot so if I don't get with her then perhaps her friends. :)

i was just thinking about it some more...fuck that. thats two nights in a row he has cockblocked me. I'm pissed off. tomorrow night we're going on a party boat (wasn't open tonight) so hopefully i can meet some girls he doesnt know and hook up with them (probably tourists...Im gioing for a cougar) what sucks is i cant really sayh anything because tonight at dinner his mom offered me a job out of college where I'd be making 3-5,000 a week, so...

yeah I know so I can't shake things up because I mean all in all he's a nice guy he's just not really a great friend and the job opportunities are great because his mom basically loves me. its fucked up that hes such a cockblock though..he was during school too. the girl just texted me and said that he said that shes being gay because she only talks to me now and the only reason she wants to come over is to hook up with me. i mean thats none of his concern. fuck. im pissed off. i blew all that money at the club (including buying him beer and paying for his cover) to get kicked out and go to bed alone.

Post by: trust on June 13, 2008, 03:25:03 am

but at the same time i can see where he might be coming from;
there were 2 other girls today that I really wanted to hook up with tonight, one being probably one of the prettiest girls I've seen in a long time so he can tell that i just want to hook up with his friend and not date he rbut still we're noth adults so except for the fact that its his house he has no say in this.

lol, no offense (re: citations)

hot chick-friend was over. we were leaving the park and I said "I want to hang out with hot chicks" (not mentioning her) .... she said "thanks, i'm glad I'm not hot" My only response was "you're gorgeous and KNOW I would totoally hit on you again. I'm handsy when drunk and you will agree since I hit on you while drunk" She didnt seem offended.
While at the house she said "I didnt know you that well" (when you asked me out) ... Maybe I should now? Oh God. So many chicks cant wait til room mate leaves and I can have sex with chicks (God willing)

<freak> LSAT tomorrow

I'm doing WAY more awesome on the puzzles and logic sections (my worst being the puzzles when I started) than when I started my studying a few weeks ago.
Test is at 1pm, they say be there by 1230, I plan to hit El Paso, TX before 1130 so I can make SURE I have time to find parking and walk(?) to the building that the test is being administered.
I've got my 1gal ziploc with bottle of water, admission ticket, map, 10 sharpened #2 pencils, 1 eraser, 1 analog watch.
It sucks that it's gonna be three weeks time before they release scores ... it's just a bubble-and-go test. It should take about 48 hours, tops, for unofficial results.

p.s. Nervous = butterflies = ugh = felling ill

</freak(?)> Not so much, I'll </freak> tomorrow evening once this beast is out of my way.

Yeah, how are you going to use the handgun rule if you don't have a handgun?

I guess you probably don't have to worry about doing vector cross products on an exam to become a lawyer, though, so I guess you're safe.

Post by: CrAz3D on June 16, 2008, 08:25:28 pm

I got there two hours early, just in case. Started the test relieved that reading comprehension was first. Logic followed reading, then third was another reading (thank God I didnt have two logic sections). After reading so much I can't retain anything in short-term memory ... my mind gets FUBAR'd. After the third section (reading) was a 10 minute break. Then we had puzzles (I kicked those mother fuckers' ASSES!) then the second logic*.

*There are five sections to the test, four are scored while the extra is just for LSAC's purposes. There are always at least two logic sections, if not three.

I walked out of the testing room after four hours of death feeling like my brain was deflating. Only three weeks 'til I find out my scores, AH!

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: CrAz3D on June 16, 2008, 09:02:51 pm

puzzles:
there are 6 performers, some are on stage and some are off. If J is on, L is Off. If L is off, J is on. If F is off J is off. If there is an X on then G is on.
(there are about 6 Qs based on the above scenario)
example Q: What is the least number of people that could be on the stage?

logic:
Person can get Z with Y and Z or person can get Q with Y or Z.
Which of the following most matches the above logical progression.

Stuff like that. Much more complicated, obviously, but ... yeah

We had a GSO problem on the final, but the original vector space only had a dimension of three and two of the vectors were already orthonormal.

so I was badgered about my date-esque event last night by friends that didnt know I went out.
Then people that WERE here last night bombarded me with questions, err, more like "DUDE! WTF, she totally waited around FOREVER before she left and then you just hug her at the door?! She totally wanted you to walk her to her car at least!" (This is all from the chick friends). I guess I learned the hard way? I felt stupid for not walking her all the way to her car, I did walk her out to the porch but she kept walking til I said "Hey, I'll see ya later on" and huggage. Sigh.

Hingsight being 20/20, she did hang around a lot longer than she said she was gonna ... and even when saying "bye" it look like 45 minutes for her to leave. Stupid.

Shit. I feel MORE stupid now.

Me commenting on her Facebook status on Friday: Have a good trip up! I'll call ya when I visit the law school.
Girl: I'm looking forward to it! Good luck on the LSAT!

... and even more stupid:

She's been texting me the last couple of days. Last night she asked how my test was. Eventually mentioned her bday party and said I should go (it's in ABQ) and that I could crash there.
"You can stay as long as you want. It'll be fun!"
"If you dont have plans for the fourth you can come up early and see the fireworks with me too!"

So I *THINK* this chick likes me.

The first one sounds like it could be solved by graph coloring pretty easily. I'd imagine any questions in that form would be made really easy if you knew a bit of simple graph theory, but common sense works too. :)

I think I can sleep with like 5 of them. haha probably not, the ones I thought were going to be the lookers weren't as attractive in person. There are some cute ones though, and there's only like 6 guys total...and I'm 100% sure one is gay, and about 85% sure another is gay.

yo!

For the past 4 days (and for the next six weeks), I've been at Florida State University doing some pretty interesting research.The project involves very-high precision measurement of atomic masses, for example using single ions in a device called a Penning trap. In the Penning trap, a single atomic or molecular ion is levitated in vacuum, by a combination of magnetic and electric fields. The magnetic field is produced by an 8.5 tesla super-conducting magnet. The ions orbit around the magnetic field lines at a frequency inversely proportional to the mass (this is called the cyclotron frequency). By measuring the ratio of cyclotron frequencies of two different ions I can obtain the ratio of their masses. Our mass spectrometer, which can measure an atomic mass to 100 part-per-trillion or better, is the most accurate in the world! I also get private lectures from a pretty cool spectrometer about the physics and math behind the penning trap. The aforementioned magnetic field is so strong, it can pull a steel (not stainless) equivalent of a dewar very forcefully from six feet away.

lol this sounded like a blog

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: leet_muffin on June 19, 2008, 02:51:30 am

Hah, that sounds sick. Pretty powerful magnet... I'd be afraid. Working with a magnet with a pull force of ~50 pounds scares me...

so today was the 2nd day of orientation for camp. we got our assignments for the first week which was exciting. I'm leading the mini-golf camp for 3-5 year olds, so basically my days consist of playing putt-putt in the morning and swimming in the pool in the afternoon. And chasing after 3-5 year olds, but still it seems pretty chill.

This afternoon we went to a ropes course and had some team-building stuff, which was cool. I talked to a couple of the girls I kind of like some more too, which was good..laying the ground work for that. We'll see what happens.

Tomorrow night we meet the parents of the kids, so I'm kind of nervous for that.

haha being high around a bunch of sober people is no good, especially when they aren't people that smoke (such as your boss and parents).

BUT, I guess I could. I was holding off for a few weeks because I thought I might get a drug test when I had to do my physical for work, but I didn't get tested. Then I held off for a few more days because I was afraid they might test me because of my drinking charge. The human resources lady stopped me today and told me my background check came back clear and I had nothing to worry about, so I guess I'm good.

In relation to my drinking charge..my uncle (who lives like 2hrs from where the incident happened) called me the other day and was like "fax me your citations, let's see if we can't make this go away." I followed up today and it's looking like it's most likely going to be dismissed.

Most houses in Arizona has air conditioning, and with how new and nice your dad's house is, I highly doubt that you don't have it. 95 outside doesn't mean its 95 inside. So, while you are probably sitting in a 75 degree house, I was in 90 degrees. ;P

So, what you're saying is that it was less than 90 degrees in your house? :P

Read the rest of the post. I have a/c, and my house is currently 92 deg.

92 inside? How hot outside? If less than 92 your ac is broked

It's about 95-100 outside. And yes, my A/C is borked.

i went 2-6 with an International Master today on yahoo =) he was undefeated before i beat him, with a record like 60-0, and i was the first to beat him :P

i first lost like ~4 games of king's indian to an annoying kingside attack that i didn't know how to play against... he probably knew the opening way better than i did. but then we switched colors and i played an exchange line against his french that required little knowledge of lines, taking away this advantage of his. i got my two wins playing this opening.

i wish. but I mean how would I even approach her, she's married and I only see her when she picks up and drops off her son. (and it's only by chance that I see her since I don't handle pick up/drop off) There's really no time for even small talk, and if I tried hitting on her and she wasn't feeling the same way....I'd probably lose my job. That would suck because I love my job.

Today I got selected to go to the amusement park with a group of older kids, I didn't really want to go though. It kind of sucked because I didn't get to do the rides I wanted to do, and they only gave the kids a couple of hours so we could only do a few rides. Oh well.

Post by: Newby on June 26, 2008, 07:36:50 pm

So, my phone decided to take a dive in the depths of the toilet. Whoops.

I immediately turned it off, and there was a streak in the center of the screen as it tried to turn off. Then, the screen started changing colors in an orderly fashion (smooth fade from black to gray to white to yellow), then eventually it just died. So, I decided to let it dry for a bit. I plugged it into the charger and it jumped to life. It sounded like it was making sounds, so I turned it off and stuck it outside. Out here, it gets hot fast. So, after about 30 minutes, it was smoldering hot to touch, so I moved it into the shade. After 10 or so minutes, I brought it inside to sit. I went back to reading, came back 30 minutes later, and amazingly enough it was on.

It seems to work fine (I'm still letting it sit to dry), though the only noticeable problems I have are:

• ~~Speakers at the bottom do not work at all. Not an issue -- only one of them has worked since I've owned the device.~~ Apparently this problem went away.
• It won't turn off. Not an issue -- airplane mode takes care of the only situations in which I'd need to turn the phone off.
• It thinks there's a device plugged into the USB port at the bottom, and said device is not compatible with the phone, so it continually pops up a query asking if I'd like to turn airplane mode on. Rather annoying.
• Device seems a bit slow and sluggish... but it could be my imagination.

If the third issue gets really bad, I'll swab the water sensor in the headphone with bleach and turn it white, and return it to Apple. If they don't believe me and/or say I have to pay the $200 repair fee, I'll just wait for the new iPhone to come out and see if I can jump ship onto that. :P

Moral of this story: don't check e-mail in the bathroom (I think that's what I was doing, the shock made me forget pretty much anything that happened before that). Or at least, don't put the phone on the ledge above the toilet (where the pipes and shit go) if it's clean and slippery.

Oh, and my headphones work better now. Haha.

Haha, nah. My student housing deposit failed, so I was checking what they sent me.

I have an excuse if I have to go back into service: the phone was in my pocket. I've got hyperhidrosis (sp?) where I sweat excessively, and the last phone I had would randomly bug out when I was sweating and it was in my pocket. So, it makes sense this one would too at some point!

(And my dock area has always been fucked up, so whatever.)

And if they don't offer to replace it for free, I'll just buy 2nd gen iPhone when it comes out. :P

Outside of the antenna causing interference on the microphone and the random "this device is not made for the iphone" bug, my phone works fine. And my sensor wasn't triggered so they can't claim shit initially. I guess I can bring it into service tomorrow and see what the deal is.

yeah I guess but I also think they're one in the same. I think this kind of started after the last bag I bought (maybe this stuff is just really intense?) but I was at my buddies roommates beach house, and they were both at work so I just sat on the deck stoned most of the day. I watched the birds fly around and had a really intense appreciation for the birds flight patterns and everything I was seeing, but at the same time as I watched people parasailing and cars driving by I felt as if life was just kind of passing me by when I was baked. this probably isn't a good feeling.

at the same time while many of the people here are great, this doesn't represent reality at all. My experiences on the forums have been reduced to just trying to piss people off and even that's gotten kind of boring. I just feel I need to get back in touch with the real world, not the one altered by drugs or by the internet. At the same time I know I'll do drugs again, I just don't want it to be a regular thing anymore.

and yeah I'll be on AIM

HSC. Officially the pothead school. Just kidding.

On a serious note, depression is a really bad thing. And if you feel like you're starting to feel depressed more than normally, try to recognize when you should seek help. I don't know if it's to that point yet, but if you feel like you are unable to quit on your own and feel like its pulling you farther down a path you don't want to go, seek help.

I had a psychological dependence on sleeping pills for most of my teenage years. I was first prescribed them to help me sleep, and after years of taking them I just thought to myself that I needed them in order to sleep. Whenever I did not take them for a day or two I swore to myself that I couldn't sleep and usually pulled an all nighter at those times. However, it was just until last semester (well winter break) that I realized that I did not need them and that I felt that I needed them to feel a certain way (sleepy or relaxed)... in reality it was all psychological, in that I took the opportunity during winter break to finally settle once and for all whether it was all in my head or not. I'm doing fine now, it just takes me an hour or two to fall sleep (unless I'm exhausted or have had alcohol :P) instead of popping a pill and passing out into sleep.

Anyways, you've always been a nice guy to me and I'll miss having someone on these forums who's from VA and relatively close to me in vicinity, even though I don't know you IRL. =\

Post by: truste1 on June 28, 2008, 03:07:02 pm

I'm confident that it's because of the drug. During the days I didn't smoke, I felt great. I really like my job and enjoyed it each day, I had two lacrosse games during those 4 days, and just felt really active and whatnot. Thursday night I decided to smoke, and the cycle kind of started again...Friday I was more tired than usual and I was a lot more irritable when it came to the kids. (this can be attributed to me/them being tired from the week, but still...) I do know that during the days I wasn't smoking everything in life seemed a lot better, with no associated guilt or anything. I think that's worth more than a couple hours of increased musical appreciation.

Also I only have a little bit left, and once that's gone (either throwing it away or smoking it) I shouldn't have a problem quitting. I am reluctant to throw my pipe away (it was like $45) but I think I'm going to have to. Smoking for me is a kind of out-of-sight, out-of-mind thing...if I don't have it I'm not going to actively try to get it.

Yeah, it's probably best to get rid of all the smoking paraphernalia. $45 is ultimately of much lesser value than your mental health, and unless it was like signed by a famous pot user like Bob Marley or something... money and material things can always be replaced easily. Other things cannot be.

But you know, realization of a problem is the first step to recovery, and you seem to have a good grasp on how your habit has been making you feel and has changed your life. I hope you come back when things are straighted out in your life. After all, although I wasn't here or even know the guy, supposedly StaiN ran into substance abuse and has since come back after his life has gotten back in order.

I don't get you guys. ~ 8PM until 2 or 3AM is when the majority of my daily activity is. Working during that time would suck.
I concur.
Well, I don't do that on work nights anyways, so whether I'm working days and going to bed early, or working nights, it doesn't really matter.

That's true. You're rather old relative to some of us... old men need their sleep. Mwhahahahahahaahhhaha. I'm just playing with ya.

Last night friends and I played poker. Not too many people, but a good time. One of the friends there is currently, err was recently, fucking my room mate (the one interning at Drexel now). In the last MONTH of my room mate cheating on his ex and screwing this new chick he's become a completely different dude.

We used to try to egg him on, get him to drink and all ... but he never would. NOW we get all of these stories about him and other drunk engineers walking(stumbling) down some river in Philly screaming at each other "don't fall in!" "no, you dont fall in!" and "where the fuck are we going!?" "to the place with the lights!"

I had no idea a woman could destroy your life like my friend. His ex was an honest-to-God ball and chain. I should sleep with her just to make a point (what point that is escapes me at the moment). Room mate is now way cool! Yay for the liberation of Ted! (there was a Facebook group entitled "Liberate Ted" created with the common notion that Ted needed to drop his ex.)

Since Trust isn't filling the desire these days I figured I'd start posting about my troubles.

So there is this chick I like, and I *think* she likes me back but its not really been confirmed. This is all well and cool but my friend keeps leading her on like he likes her (and being much more vocal about it) but he says he doesn't really want her. The problem is that his being a douche is preventing me from getting in her pants, how do I fix this?!

Aside from like killing him...

Falling into the Schuylkill usually leads to death.

Speaking of ambling around drunk, last Friday me and a bunch of friends got wasted and went to see Get Smart (awesome movie, btw!) It was my friend's 21st, so we did jager bombs and Irish car bombs, on top of 4 pitchers. After get smart we bought 4 cases of Coors Light (sucked) and played Asshole for 4 hours, which ended up with 3 people puking. Anyway, after Asshole we went ambling around, eventually making our way to 7-11 at 3 in the morning. On the way back, while we were being loud and obnoxious, some other drunk people inside a house shouted "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!", to which I replied "That's what she said!" Everybody inside the house started cracking up, and then so did we. It was awesome.

Also, there were 6 hobos outside 7-11, and one of my buddies almost bashed one in the face with the door. That was cool.

I'd have to agree; I'm definitely a mac fan for laptops (see: topics in trash can :P), but if you don't plan on using OSX, it's a waste. I hear good things about IBMs, but I'd advise staying away from Dells. All of my friends from real life that have Dell laptops have bad things to say about them.

[edit] Just thought I'd add why OSX is great for laptops: great user interface for when you're without a mouse! Using the trackpad in OSX is incredibly simple; the OS has native support for gestures (two-finger tap = right click, two finger slide = scroll wheel, etc). This is all actually done in software: You can throw OSx86 on any laptop with a Synaptic touch pad and get the gestures, though driver support is pretty hit-or-miss.

A good laptop from Dell (pieced out) = ~$1600/1700... the MB Pro (mid-range one on apple's site) running in at $1750 is probably about the same specs if only a little weaker, plus the graphics card uses DDR3 memory and the memory is like... DDR2 800 MHz or something to that extent, so it'd be fast. And Apple's customer service is pretty awesome. They did replaced my waterlogged phone... no questions asked, either! And I could learn OS X... and be a triple threat in the OS scene.

I can buy the upgrades and install them myself at a reasonable price. Of course they're going to charge an arm and a leg if they do it: their usual customers are computer illiterate and don't know how.

Apple's hardware tends to have narrower tolerances. You can't, for example, take any RAM and throw it in a mac; you have to use what it's designed for. It doesn't justify the markup, but it's also not as if Apple is keeping a secret about what RAM to buy - they tell you right on their website exactly what to buy. I spent $150 on RAM for my MacBook that Apple wanted $600 for - exact same make and model.

It's definitely not unbreakable. I've been using OSX for 5 years, and it DID crash once.

Granted, it started back up almost immediately, and none of my programs crashed/closed as a result.

i unquit...just until i finish up what I have lol

so i go over my buddys house for a cookout, just a few people over...no drinking or anything. we eat, hang out, take his boat over to watch the fireworks (Which were postponed until tomorrow because of weather... >:( ) about 11pm this girl i work with calls me telling me to come to this party. well it's kind of late to start drinking when everyone theres wasted already, plus I have to drive so even though i want to go i decide not to. she tells me if i come pick her up we can go "hang out at her house or somethin :)" I'm pretty certain I know what that smiley face means, and she's attractive enough to smiley face with but there's another girl at work who I think I might actually like so I don't know what to do.

this is how i get myself in trouble (actually this same kind of predicament is how I went from about-to-date a girl to girl-stopped-talking-to-me)

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: truste1 on July 05, 2008, 01:01:39 am

apparently someone took her home so I guess I waited too long on that one, she wants me to go to this party tomorrow which I'll probably go to but now if shes trying to hook up idk because i would definitely do it if drunk and the other girl i work with will probably be there and that will ruin my chance with her. (done this before too, hooked up with a sure-thing (ex-gf) and her friend who I liked (but wasn't a slut so wasn't hook-up potential) was put off by that....no more chance)

life sucks.

I figured they'd give me a shell at some point, but I figured I'd have to be a CS student.

And I didn't think they'd ever include an IRC client OR keep it on the outside network (so I can set up ssh tunnels with ssh -D) since it seems like both are security risks.

Although it's SunOS... so who cares to honestly exploit it? :P

haha. I think there are a few Solaris boxes that we run, but I don't use them. One is the web server, I believe.

That's true. Hence why the only thing I'm doing with it right now is IRC. It's a shame the only IRC client on it is 'ircII' since if it was irssi, I could use SSL to connect to servers! :(

Best Fourth of July Ever.

I went up to Albuquerque on Friday. Left my city about 11, got to ABQ around 230. I was going up for a friend & her room mate's bday party which was on Saturday night. My friend, Stacey, said that if I wasn't going anything I should go up a day early and watch the fireworks with her on the 4th. I had taken her out when she was last down here and we've been talking since then.

Once I arrived we went out to miniature golf (her room mate was down in my city, she's from here, til Saturday so just Stacey & me). We get back to her place and watch "Evita." Then we head out to dinner at an italian place and then to ABQ's balloon fiesta fields to watch the fireworks and see BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS!!!! (No one really knows their music, WTF?! Stacey didnt really know who they were at all).
Then we watched Hairspray at her house from about 11-whatever. Then we just sat and chatted until 5 (freakin a thats late for me.) Woke up around 10, hung out (man did she look beautiful all weekend) and her room mate and her boyfriend arrived around 4. We ordered pizza and ate. The dance party was that night. Stacey, myself, the room mate & bf all started to fall asleep around 945. People arrived for the party at 1015. They all played Kings (found out some things about friends that disturbed me, but yeah, yay "Never Have I Ever") for a little then the dancing began.
Danced for about 45 minutes then sat outside. Everyone left around 1230. Stacey and I sat on her couch just chatting and being disgustingly cute. I really like this girl.

As we're kissing I hear something that is curious. We both realize her room mate is having sex. Eh well. Stacey heads to bed around 330.

I really enjoy this girl's company. I know it sounds cliche, but she was finishing my sentences and answering my questions before I even got half way through. Hanging out with her was amazing. It's disappointing that she's 230 miles away and that next spring she'll be in Italy and I'll be doing God knows what (hopefully law school at Baylor, but who knows as it's possible I end up in ABQ for law school).

I'm not sure if you have a Macbook or not but...

If you have one of the more recent Macbook Pro revisions, then Starcraft won't work on it. This is a well-known problem for which I've been in touch with the Blizzard Mac support for a while. But AFAIK it's only a problem for Macbook Pros, and as I said only for the most recent ones.

Best Fourth of July Ever.

I went up to Albuquerque on Friday. Left my city about 11, got to ABQ around 230. I was going up for a friend & her room mate's bday party which was on Saturday night. My friend, Stacey, said that if I wasn't going anything I should go up a day early and watch the fireworks with her on the 4th. I had taken her out when she was last down here and we've been talking since then.

Once I arrived we went out to miniature golf (her room mate was down in my city, she's from here, til Saturday so just Stacey & me). We get back to her place and watch "Evita." Then we head out to dinner at an italian place and then to ABQ's balloon fiesta fields to watch the fireworks and see BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS!!!! (No one really knows their music, WTF?! Stacey didnt really know who they were at all).
Then we watched Hairspray at her house from about 11-whatever. Then we just sat and chatted until 5 (freakin a thats late for me.) Woke up around 10, hung out (man did she look beautiful all weekend) and her room mate and her boyfriend arrived around 4. We ordered pizza and ate. The dance party was that night. Stacey, myself, the room mate & bf all started to fall asleep around 945. People arrived for the party at 1015. They all played Kings (found out some things about friends that disturbed me, but yeah, yay "Never Have I Ever") for a little then the dancing began.
Danced for about 45 minutes then sat outside. Everyone left around 1230. Stacey and I sat on her couch just chatting and being disgustingly cute. I really like this girl.

As we're kissing I hear something that is curious. We both realize her room mate is having sex. Eh well. Stacey heads to bed around 330.

I really enjoy this girl's company. I know it sounds cliche, but she was finishing my sentences and answering my questions before I even got half way through. Hanging out with her was amazing. It's disappointing that she's 230 miles away and that next spring she'll be in Italy and I'll be doing God knows what (hopefully law school at Baylor, but who knows as it's possible I end up in ABQ for law school).

I haven't been this content and happy in quite a while. :D

Got my ACT / AP test exam scores sent to Davis via rush mail, so that way, if they don't get there, I can say "hey, look, I did it rush mail, leave me alone!"

Rush is a scam; it just means they'll work later in the day to get it to leave any particular station. It's not like the guy in the truck is gonna speed to make it get there faster. :P

Cause could be lots of things, but the bottom line seems to be that the engine at idle doesn't have enough power to run the AC; try giving it some gas while it's idling?

The idle, I suspect, is my after market tuner. I emailed the 'programmer' and should have new tunes soon.

The window: It was the rocker switch. There is a little prong that pushes the metal rocker/contact. The prong wore down (stupid plastic POS). Fucking new cars.

She had <1.5 Smirnoff Raspberry Bursts ... I dont want to drink cause I dont want to fuck up what chances I have with her. Sure she's a 3 hr drive away and I spent $140 on gas to get up there and back, but I really like this girl (crush on her since Junior year of high school [4yrs ago])

Whoa; I wouldn't have expected the SCL on an e-throttle to let the revs drop under *any* conditions. If I put it in third and drop the clutch, the turbo spools really fast from all the gas the computer dumps in the engine. It will still stall, but that's only because it's an impossible situation for the computer to recover from. It may be that there's an upper bound, in your case, for the throttle position at "idle," and that upper bound is too low to satisfy the demand on the engine, in which case a tune will fix it, but the easy way to verify is to give it some gas! Also, you should consider a tune to be a bandaid, not a fix; there's a reason your car's stalling, and it's not because your AC compressor all of a sudden got really hard to spin. Actually, that could be it; when was the last time you had your AC serviced?

Title: Re: Let's hear it!

When I talked to the guy he said some people had issues with tunes while running the AC. I'll see based on that.

I'm fairly sure that, per my book, I don't need to do that yet. I'll look into doing it anyway.
I've got a lot of maintenance coming up to do that's gonna cost an arm and a leg. Tires, tranny fluid check, I should replace rear axle seal and finally, the upper a-arms both have ripped boots over the ball joints (also, they're too short and I should find aftermarket ones ... my alignment is fucked with these stock ones). oooooh! I need a new tierod on the driver's side, offroading killed it.

Appreciated, but too late. She's known me for 6 years. Hasnt experienced my drinking but knows MANY stories that are not exactly flattering, yet she still talks to me.

My drinking has been curbed recently, especially since/around her as I don't want to be an ass and fuck it all up. I really like this girl. Many cliche things have happened, but it makes me happy.

If you assume the computer's controlling the throttle properly, then it means that the throttle is wide before it stalls. The car would lurch forward, and then lurch backwards violently -- probably hard enough to cause whiplash. You would definitely notice that - not to mention there'd be clouds of black smoke shooting out of the tail pipe, backfiring, etc.

That's not to say that the ECU is the root problem, simply that it's not controlling the throttle properly for whatever else is going on. Gunky fuel injectors could be throwing the computer off, as could about a million other things. Unless I'm wrong, a tune will definitely be a suitable bandaid.

Lol, when 1.10 came out and the ladder got reset, I had two barbarians on the hardcore ladder at the same time. Both around the #800-900 mark. Eventually both died because of lag, so I took a screenshot of them on the same screen. I wish I still had it. :)

One of my boss' tenants called earlier, I thought nothing of it aside from "hey, she can't be calling to say her rent is going to be late because she just dropped it off two days ago."
Then, before stepping into a meeting, he tells me to put another of his tenants through should he call.

I get the update later:

APPARENTLY two douche-bags with a flat bed were at the apartment complex trying to load up Tenant2's car! Tenant1 started questioning them, they said he sold it. When they couldn't describe him or even mention his name she called the police and scared them off. The cops caught them a couple of blocks away. That's at about 11 friggin' A.M.! Such audacity, sheesh.

Not ONCE have I ever been late/missed for something because of drinking. I feel awesome that my super-smart and diligent room mate is wasted a lot. His ex really WAS a ball and chain. hahaha

this sucks. this girl from work is texting me trying to get me to come over and watch a movie or go out somewhere with her. I keep saying no, but she's very persistent. I don't want to lead her on.

same girl is going to a concert I'm thinking about going to tonight. So are a few other people from work. I kind of just want to chill at home, but it's my birthday and I don't want to be a loser. So, most likely, I'm going to go...get entirely too intoxicated, make bad decisions, and be criticized by the x86 community. But it's ok because it will be fun.

Yay, you're gonna bang her. All is right in the world.

so i'm pretty intoxicated right now but here's the night

1) go to aforementioned girls house to pregame. Me and 7 girls, good times. Girl I liked decided to come, even though when i asked her earleier she said she wasnt
2) guy shows up with his 10 year old sister
3) leave to go to Hootie & the blowfish concert about 30mins after it started
4) get there, buy more beer
5) concerts over, get invited to "guy"'s house
6) go to first girls house, she can't go out...me and girl I like go to guys house
7) guy is Pharell's managers son, house is sick..chill there
8) me and girl i like drive this random guy everyone met at the concert home, then she drives me back to my car
9) i have her follow me to the interstate, give her my gps, and call her to make sure she got home ok....seems like things are going OK.

I think it was worth not hooking up with the girl who likes me because maybe I can convince the girl that I like to do the whole 2 years younger thing.

player? nothing happened.

I talked to lady last night, sort of destroyed the game of poker we were playing (I wasnt about to not answer the phone). She enjoyed flowers :D!

Later that night we played kings...telephonically. There were three of us here and two dudes in another town. Telephonic kings rocked, well, the concept did! Also, I didnt get too drunk last night. I sorta like this sober thing.

Post by: truste1 on July 12, 2008, 11:17:56 am

To piggyback on my last post.

The concert was good, we got there after it started because were were pregaming at the girls house. There were actually 10 girls, not 7. Pharrell (the producer/rapper) is from around here, and it just so happened that his manager's son and sister (the 10 year old) went to Hootie and I rode with him. I had just met him last night, but he was a pretty nice guy. After the concert he invited everyone back to his house, so we went. We played some pool, drank more, went swimming. We left his house around 2. At the concert the guy had met some random Navy guy and invited him back, so we drove him to his house (me and girl I like) and then she drove me back to my car (which was round trip about 40 mins out of her way). She's not quite sure how to get home so I give her my GPS and have her follow me to the interstate (so glad I wasn't pulled over). I called her to make sure she got home OK, then we talked online for about an hour and a half.

oh and I asked the girl to go to a concert with me next saturday. she doesn't even know the band and it's definitely a really big drug-culture band (ala Grateful Dead parking lot experience...with any and every drug being sold in the parking lot) so I don't know if it's a good "first date" kind of thing but whatever.

Pretty crazy night, I'll try to keep it to the point since I need to go to bed.

Went to the concert, it's just a local guy so it was pretty small but it was on the water and a nice atmosphere. After that we called up my friend's ex (the guy I was with) who he's still friends with/and they still kind of like each other...and actually I used to like her in highschool before they started dating. Anyway him, me, the girl I was with, his ex, and her sister all went to go see some fireworks. Then we walked along the boardwalk of the beach where we happened to see this girl most of us kind of know (I met her once at a party). Turns out she's a street performer on the boardwalk, which is kind of cool (not for tips, the city pays them.) She was playing Beatles songs on the acoustic guitar and looked kind of hippiesh...which was actually kind of a turn on and reminded me a lot of Jenny from Forest Gump (I used to have a pretty big crush on the girl we saw and I guess still kind of do but it's really only based on looks.)

Then on the way home, we ran over something attached to a fishing line which broke the girls window (the one I like). It looked deliberate and apparently there's a problem with people booby trapping roads to break windows, so we called the cops to file a report for insurance purposes...so that took awhile as they came out and everything.

But it was fun and we seem to be hitting it off pretty well.

My dad's rich friend invited us over to his house in Northern Scottsdale, and he has a daughter that's my age. Unfortunately, I'll never hook up with her for the following reasons:

• My dad introduces me as some prude, so points--;
• She has an amazing body but a terrible face and is very, very annoying to listen to, so points-- for the face and points-- for the mannerism she presents (my stepmom says she's Jewish)
• As it turns out, she parties (drinks) and her dad and my dad introduced me as someone who doesn't (I was turned into what she would view as a "bad guy" multiple times, both in partying and internet privacy), so I never got a chance alone with her to mention that I'm down to party, so points-=500 right there, as she's got friends she can think of instead of me now when she wants to party.
• My dad didn't offer to help pay the bill at dinner, which apparently greatly offended her dad, so now the chances of seeing her again at all are slim to none. points--;

Fuck.

But on a positive note, my friend is driving out tomorrow for the week. Yee. We'll get bitches then! :)

You being a prude=good, unless it's like some sort of Mormon/Arabic dude who wants his women married. And how does "Hey, this is my son that doesnt drink" get worked into a conversation? More importantly, internet privacy!? wtf.

I was talkin' with Stacey last night ... why are women fascinated with circumcision? Her room mate was wondering, Stacey asked if I was ... oh my. This is the third group of chicks that has asked. Does this happen to you guys?

My dad was commenting how he buys $6 beer/bottle and we were at BevMo once and I commented "This isn't the section I should be in, where's the fifty cent beer cases?!" (as a joke) and my dad translated that yesterday into "This isn't where I'm supposed to be" with "isn't" implying the liquor store, and her dad was like "see, he's a good kid." So I'm a goody two-shoes. Internet privacy came up when she asked her dad if she could log into Facebook and he told her no, then had me and my dad comment on the risk of putting your personal information up. What's ironic is that my dad has a facebook and he's sitting there bitching about all these risks! (I think he did it to be polite but whatever.)

Post by: truste1 on July 14, 2008, 01:41:12 pm

OK it's raining and I have nothing to do since I don't have a job so I'll elaborate if anyone cares.

So I was a camp counselor, but they didn't have enough campers register so they were out of budget. My old lacrosse coach is the assistant director so he gave me some insider information, that they were letting 6 people go and/or cutting hours until people quit on their own. Two people were let go, but I was never told for certain about any hours being cut (he was unsure at the time, but thought I'd have one week of only 15 hours...and he was pretty mad about that) So the actual lady in charge of that stuff told me on Friday she needed to talk to me after work, but then she was busy and said to just talk to her on Monday. So I get there and talk to her this morning (had to be there at 8:30...wish I had been able to sleep in since I was up until like 2:30, she could have laid me off over the phone or something).

Anyway she's just like we have too many counselors and don't really have a need for you, but if it picks back up we'll call you. She also said to consider them for employment next summer. Fuck that if she's working there again. She offered me a position working with the physically disabled people, but I'm separated from the rest of the counselors because I just have to help those kids learn to sit and stand up. I'm going to have to take that job because it's too late to get another one.

I'm pissed off about it though because, as of now 4 counselors have been let go. The other 3 I could understand, they didn't really do anything. I was one of the only ones that always went swimming with the kids and actually played with them. Multiple ones said I was their favorite counselor at the camp. It's ridiculous, and the other counselors agree that it doesn't make sense they're letting a good counselor go. One of the other guys wants to quit now.

On the plus side I realized that I like the girl that I thought I was starting to like. When this happened, my first concern is that now I won't see her everyday...that's another big reason I might take that other job offer.

woah my coworkers are really rallying behind me. Even a lifeguard was like sorry she didn't see how much the kids liked you. It's crazy, apparently some of the counselors are going to fight for me at the staff meeting tomorrow. I really don't see this getting reversed, but that would be cool. Or maybe I'll take that other job. Also the camp my sister is at said they may need an extra counselor but I'd take a pay cut.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: truste1 on July 14, 2008, 05:46:58 pm

woah this is fucking intense.

ok my lax coach (asst director) and this other girl who was my co counselor for all 3 weeks were apparently in tears. The girl that I like and I were talking. Apparently everyone at work was in a visibly bad mood today, and they all agreed that I was one of the best counselors/best with the kids. She and her sister tried getting the kids to ask where I was and stuff. People are really pulling for me.

lax coach just got out of a meeting about me being let go. He said he explained the gravity of the situation and they're trying to find hours for me, he sounded pretty confident that I would get my job back. He asked if I'd even take it after getting fucked over like that, but I said I would. He sees me with the kids where the lady in charge doesn't, and he sees that I'm good w/ them and they like me. I'll know for sure around noon tomorrow. This is like a fucking game of survivor or something. Real world shit and it's pretty crazy.

woah this is fucking intense.

ok my lax coach (asst director) and this other girl who was my co counselor for all 3 weeks were apparently in tears. The girl that I like and I were talking. Apparently everyone at work was in a visibly bad mood today, and they all agreed that I was one of the best counselors/best with the kids. She and her sister tried getting the kids to ask where I was and stuff. People are really pulling for me.

lax coach just got out of a meeting about me being let go. He said he explained the gravity of the situation and they're trying to find hours for me, he sounded pretty confident that I would get my job back. He asked if I'd even take it after getting fucked over like that, but I said I would. He sees me with the kids where the lady in charge doesn't, and he sees that I'm good w/ them and they like me. I'll know for sure around noon tomorrow. This is like a fucking game of survivor or something. Real world shit and it's pretty crazy.

You have to realize that it's just a camp ... even if everyone really likes you that means some one else has to get the boot. Also, if they dont have the money then they dont have the money. If/when you do go back make sure to teach the kids things, that way the admins think "hey, that kid kicks ass, we'll have to hire him next year so he can sex the other counselors"

I don't know how he worked it out, but the meeting wasn't with the lady who let me go...it was with her superiors. And in regards to the money, the way the camps going with the current director nobody (counselors/parents) is going to return next year. Summer camps are the biggest profit intake for the center, and right now they're looking at taking a significant hit in the following summers because they can get a better experience for less money at other area camps.

Wooo hoo.

"Camping" this weekend:
A friend will be in town (he's been in town a lot lately, weird) so we're headed towards the US-Mexico border to camp out at Killbourne Hole. This is the place where Coyotes smuggle Mexicans into the US. The hole, though, is supposed to be an amazing geological feature. I haven't seen it before. Last time my friends were camping out there they were shot at by Coyotes. I'm taking guns ... guns and many bullets.
Map of the hole:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=kilbourne+hole&sll=35.08413,-106.64863&sspn=0.412987,0.601501&ie=UTF8&cd=1&ll=31.971641,-106.961474&spn=0.026758,0.037594&t=h&z=15

Texas trip next week:
23rd: Drive to Dallas, kick it uptown, maybe visit SMU campus and other pointlessly fancy places
24th: Drive to Waco, check out Baylor University. Eat at Chuy's
25th: Drive to Austin, check out UT. Dinner with family that live there. Get drunk on 6th Street!
26th: Back to Cruces.

Round trip is < 1000, but that's before in-town driving around. Should be, I figure at most, about $260 in gas, $80/night for hotel, and then whatever for food and drink. I'd like to take a car just to cut gas in HALF (maybe), but I also want to see what my truck does on a long trip. The truck will probably end up going. I can get about 19mpg if I baby it, and since I'm going through the flat lands of Texas where the eyes of the Ranger are upon me, I figure on getting pretty good mileage hovering around 75mph's.

Boss is leaving:
Boss takes off for his annual beach trip this Friday, he will return August 4. Work will be hella boring, I need a book. I have two books I've started (one I cant remember and one about George W., but non-fiction), but I'd really like to start Brother Karamazov. i loved Crime and Punishment and hear that Brothers Karamazov is supposed to be his best work.

Stacey is headed to Spain:
I will be calling her tonight to rant about Hellboy 2 sucking majorly and just chit chat about random crap for a short while. Will call again Thursday to see how her p-word (physics) test went. While talking with her on Sunday (I'm actually glad I missed 45 minutes of Hellboy during the phone convo, the movie sounded lame during that time) she said I should go up again :D. Me = WAY WAY WAY excited. I likes her, but at the same time must convince myself that nothing will come of it as I don't know WTF I'm doing come Spring 09 and she's in Italy all Spring semester (what is with me getting involved with chicks right before they take off for a semester?). If Baylor Law falls through I'll most likely end up in ABQ at UNM ... cloud with silver lining?

My current approach is "whatever, just go with the flow, have fun for 6+ months and then see." If we really do hit it off, who knows. my room mate has been seeing this chick he met on a trip to Italy last summer. She is in Illinois, very near St Louis though. He's been out there twice, about to make it thrice. She'll be here for the second time on August 9, then he's back out there for Thanksgiving.

I just know that when I do see/talk to her it's nice.

Word on the job yet?

Post by: truste1 on July 15, 2008, 01:58:03 pm

apparently they were sucking up to the counselors this morning in the staff meeting, brought them breakfast and gave everyone their hours back. My assumption is that if they're reworking it so that all of the currently-employed counselors are back to their full hours, there aren't enough leftover for me. I was told I'd know the decision around noon, and it's almost 2...so it's not looking too good. In an hour and 15 minutes I'm supposed to go in and talk to the physical disability camp people about working there, so Ill find out then I guess.

They want me to start on Monday for the physical disability camp, but I really don't want to. If regular camp doesn't work out though, I'll take it.

They gave out feedback cards to the counselors this morning, I know of at least 4 people that put they need to rehire me. The girl that I like filled the card front/back. I talked to everyone when I was there today, and people are pulling for me. Kids are even asking where I am.

I am employed for the rest of the week because one of the shadows quit, so one of the counselors proposed the idea of me filling in at least for the next 3 days. It comes from a separate budget so they can't use that excuse. Shadow's are just counselors that only deal with one problem child and help them interact when they're in regular camp, the one I'm with is just really really hyper and runs everywhere I guess. So, it's a foot back in the door.

Also, there's a $2000 budget to boost counselor morale. Today they brought in donuts for the staff meeting and gave everyone goody bags with candy and $5 gift cards to Wawa. Several people thought they could have put that money towards bringing me back, which would actually boost morale because people wouldn't be upset I was fired and they wouldn't feel as understaffed. The girl that I like even said that on her comment card.

Hopefully the lady sees the error she made and brings me back, but at least I've bought myself 3 days.

Well, a Cisco Catalyst 3560 could replace our router. The one we have can't!

Am I correct in assuming you're trying to share a single IP with NAT? If that's the case, you require a router, period. Almost all routers come with switches attached to them, but not by definition. A router is simply a device that exchanges data between two (or more) independent networks; usually the dividing line between a LAN and a WAN. You could put to NICs on a linux box and set up routing tables, and it would be a router.

A switch is simply an exchange point. If the switch is managed, it may have an IP address so that it can be configured remotely, but that doesn't give it the ability to do routing.

If you connect a switch directly to the internet, then each of the devices connected to the switch will need their own unique internet IP address. If you take that approach, you don't have a LAN, so it's theoretically possible for (though pretty ridiculous to consider) your local traffic to get routed through the internet, which you definitely don't want.

So, the bottom line is that if you want a cheap solution, you should find a cheap/crappy old computer with a slow processor and little ram, put linux on it, and read up about iptables. You'll have to do a lot of reading/learning if you don't already understand what a router actually does, but it will be worth it in the end.

Wow our date went pretty great and we seem to be hitting it off pretty well, but I definitely stumbled when we got back to her house. My plans for kissing on the beach didn't work out, even though we watched them alone. When we sat down we were kind of separated and I didn't want to just move up right next to her. Later we sat on a lifeguard stand and I put my arm around her (on the stand backing) but she didn't move in closer like I expected.

Then we got to her house and this is where it got really awkward for me, because I knew that was where we were supposed to kiss. The way her driveway is set up my car pulled about 3ft from her door (literally) so I really couldn't walk her to her door. So we're sitting in my car (SUV so we have significant space inbetween us) and have that awkward first date drop off conversation that precedes a kiss. "Had fun tonight, lets do it again, etc. etc." But I just lose confidence and get nervous and can't go through with it. It was pretty obvious she wanted to kiss, but the way we were in my car I couldn't make a move in without it being blatantly obvious what I was doing...and if she wasn't feeling it I just look like a prick. So, long story short I pussed out and didn't kiss her. I think we're going out for pizza and drinks with some other people from work on Friday, maybe I'll seal the deal then after I've got some booze in me.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: truste1 on July 17, 2008, 01:07:50 am

I thought about it and I'm kind of glad I didn't, because it was the first thing we've done basically alone...so kind of the first date? Plus I'd rather do it while standing up and someplace nice like on the beach or at the sunset or something more memorable than my car or her front door.

Shrug. We (me, friend, his cousin, my brother) went to the water park yesterday, and in lazy river, there were these three girls my age whispering in each other's ears while looking at us (obviously talking about us) and acting ditsy, and then on one bend one of them moved in front of me and dunked under her tube and stopped me completely for a good few seconds (like she was playing hide and seek), so I was like "sup." We continued floating, and eventually one of the girls (Justine) was like "suppp I'm justine, what's your nameeee?" and asked me and my friend's cousin. My friend's cousin was really shitfaced, and he was like "are you faded right now?" and honestly, she was acting like it, all nonchalant and goofy and shit, but she laughed and was like "no i'm having fun, what do you think? i smoke crack?" I explained he was waaay plastered and to just ignore him. We all got out of lazy river, they walked off and said "see ya later" so I figured we'd "run into them" again without my brother. Unfortunately, we never found them. :(

I drink. Sorry. It's just a matter of circumstance that a common social activity of mine is drinking. It's not like I've never kissed while sober, and I've met most of the girls that I've done stuff with while I was sober. I only referred to first kisses.

Plus, his problem isn't breaking the sexual boundary...it's talking to her in the first place. He has to change his entire personality just to talk to a girl because he's afraid she won't like him for who he is (probably true). The two are unrelated so go fuck yourself and stop stretching for insults.

No, not unrelated. You can't be yourself when initiating something intimate. And you are embarassed about it. Why are you so emo?

Post by: truste1 on July 18, 2008, 06:18:58 pm

I deleted my account because I didn't want to post here anymore, and I felt like a loser because I post on an internet messageboard frequently. Then I realized that in my downtime at home I get kind of bored and that posting here passes time, so I started using my old one. I want my posts deleted because of grudgeholders. My viewpoints on certain issues may not be the same in several years, yet if I'm in a position of power viewpoints posted on here will be referenced. (i.e. harsh words regarding anti-immigration).

Pot got me depressed for like a weekend, I've already posted how I'm fine now.

What the fuck are you talking about regarding me posting in small letters? Font wise? I haven't changed my font, maybe it's your browser?

Lastly, I'm not scared to initiate something intimate. I've had sex sober, I've kissed sober, etc. I was nervous for my first kiss on a first date, and didn't do it. It's not that big of a deal. Next time we go out, I'll probably kiss her. No I haven't had a first real intimate kiss without having drank first, but that doesn't mean I was plastered each time either. Some of them were just after two or three drinks. Sorry I didn't make a timeline of every kiss in my life and my BAC at the time.

I'm pathetic? You're the one who takes the time to craft insults at my life by dissecting the meanings of my posts. Not to mention that I'm several years younger than you, yet you still post frequently on a message board of primarily high school and some college kids. I've not once seen you refer to any form of a social life or experience with a girl. My life not be perfect but at least I have good stories and I have fun.

And lastly they are unrelated because rabbits personality sucks so much he knows already that unless he puts up a facade the girl won't like him from the gitgo. Alcohol isn't going to help you if your personality sucks.

I'm these things when sober, just after drinking/losing inhibitions I take more risks with what I say. (i.e. more forward and bedroom oriented)

I'm not saying anything about taking the step to kiss her, a first kiss is something you can't fuck up because a relationship can be decided by that first kiss. What I'm saying is that he is afraid to even talk to her because of his personality and that sucks.

Yes. Most of my edits happen within minutes of anything I post, however. Your edits are out of sheer embarassment in most cases. You are saying you edited your kissing post because you changed your position? The edits I made in this case were to decrease the hostility of my post.

And why does posting on a forum, on average, 1.1 times/day make me a loser? This idea of "who has a better social life", "who posts less on a forum", "how old are you" etc, are all very fifth grade notions of importance. I'll do what I enjoy doing, and I'll post about my social life if I feel like it.

The main point of this exchange is to bring attention to the fact that you are reaching for insults and acting like a belligerent dick, and you're kind of in a glass house.

I don't care about posts such as the kissing one being deleted, I just edited it because it wasn't really something that anybody here probably needs to know and I didn't feel like explaining it fully (timeline.)

When it comes down to it I really could care less was anybody on this message board thinks of me. If you think I'm a drunken, belligerent, womanizing, drug using dickhead I could really care less. I like making fun of other people on here because it creates such a controversy. To be honest the only person on here I legitimately tell my stories to is CrAz3D because we do similar stuff, the rest of the time I usually post them just to create conflict. Sometimes I actually feel like getting things off my chest or seek reflection from others, but it's far less common.

She likes me fine. In fact, we're already friends. The part I turn into a douchebag is where I try to ask her out. I don't know if you can relate, but I have extreme anxiety and probably OCD in situations where something big can happen. And, unlike you, I like to go out with people to find someone for me, not to get laid. So, to me, how I interact with people I find appealing is more of a life decision (IE: how will my life go from here?) rather than a "will I get laid within 1 week" thing (which seems to be your spiel).

So my thinking goes along many paths. First, the obvious two: she says yes, she says no. Each of those also has individual paths. If she says no, will it be weird, or will we still be friends, or is there a possibility for later? If she says yes, what will follow? Something short, or a potential girlfriend? If it's short, why? Did I do something wrong with her (panic sets in here)? Did I insult her grievously or cause her emotional harm or something? If she is a girlfriend, what happens then? What if she drifts away and starts cheating on me? What if it's with one of my friends (happened before, so I panic even more now)? What would I do about that friend and me? What about with her? Is there love between us still? And if she doesn't cheat...would I marry her?

ETC FOR A FUCKING MILLION YEARS. About an hour of panicking later I totally freak out. What I've been trying to do is keep my brain from going off like this, but it's hard. So some things are extremely hard for me. The same thing happens to me on tests at school and in decisions I make every day. I need therapy for it, and I'm already working on that, but lo....I panic about starting that too.

So, Mr. Astley (truste1, just in case you're planning on being a giant douchebag), fuck you.

If you're friends, even better. Here's what you do and it will work and not be awkward. Go some where as a group first, but just pay more attention to her. A couple days later do something with just you and her, or maybe you her and one or two other people. Then do something just you and her, but don't do something cliche like dinner and a movie. Tonight the girl and I went night fishing at the pier then sat on the beach, and got the whole 1st kiss thing out of the way. The way we started hanging out is what I just described.

I think about the stuff you said too (i.e. we probably won't get married so is it worth the effort and inevitable heartache?), but you have to just realize that the fun/good times you'll have with her in the short term outweigh that.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Ender on July 19, 2008, 07:48:15 am

rabbit:

In my experience, a movie is a safe bet -- you can't go wrong, because they will probably enjoy the movie or if not that then the movie popcorn. It also won't put too much pressure on you to impress, since the movie takes up a big part of your date.

On the other hand, a movie can make for a less memorable date, as it is pretty ordinary, and also doesn't give you as much time to talk. If you go to a movie then it might be wise to plan it so that you can have dinner afterward. Then again, you said you are already friends, so you probably know her pretty well already.

The danger in going fishing, as Trust did, or several other like activities, is that the girl may have a terrible time if she doesn't like the activity or if it's too hot/humid out =/

But maybe there's something creative that you'll know she'll be enthusiastic about, that's not too out of the way. (If you make it too out-of-the-way she might be scared away and/or put in the uncomfortable position of feeling guilty that you took so much trouble.)

As you see, there are no rules, there only guidelines. Judgment is everything. If you're ever in doubt, just think what Joe would do, and do the opposite. If you need more advice you can always AIM me.

Generally, yeah. Ender and I tend to think alike, in the "let's just get laid tonight" mindset. In fact, I pretty much point blank asked a girl if she wanted to come over and fuck. Result: I'm having a girl sleep over this weekend, and I'm getting laid.

But if losing your virginity isn't what you're after, do the opposite of what I do. :P

But if losing your virginity isn't what you're after, do the opposite of what I do. :P

Well, so far I'm not very religious and I'm also not going to hell, so doing the opposite seems to be working well so far (and who ever said I was a virgin anyways?).

Fishing probably isn't a good idea for everybody, but I happen to live by the ocean and we had talked about fishing before...actually she suggested we go last night. It was a relaxing atmosphere, and there was a full moon and nice breeze. We didn't catch anything but we brought a cooler and just talked for a few hours. Find something that you can do that is somewhat creative and a mixup from the regular dinner & a movie. I mean a movie is a good date in that it doesn't require effort, but you really aren't able to talk to her (except after, about the movie) and get to know her better.

A bunch of people started a conversation in trade chat about if rap was better than rock. Everyone disagreed, someone insulted rap as a whole, and another guy said he'd like to see that guy even try to rap. He failed, so I stepped up for him. I got /w'd about 20 ROFL's.

I was sittin in thrade chat arguin with noobs
Who never in their day will see a single boob
They all thought rap was really great
And all the metalheads got really irate
One guy challenged me to write a rap
So he better shut up before i bust a cap, aiite bai.

Newby: I just saw Possessed and Warbringer and it was fucking epic. However, while pitting, I slipped on some beer, got kneed in the head, slid across the pit while falling on my ass, and somebody stepped on my wrist. I think I might have broken it because parts of it move that aren't supposed to. Also, watching Steven Moyer in a Possessed pit was awesome.

I'm still seriously in awe over that concert, I'm downloading the torrent of it (they have an open recording policy) right now so I can listen to it again. It was seriously majestic. Almost 4 hours of good jams, good people, and good vibes. I met/saw so many people from my school or alumni from it it was crazy. A lot of the concert kind of just runs together when I try to remember it (really only one song sticks out in my memory and that's because it was slow and I was slow dancing with the girl I took) but I really want to relive last night.

Right after the concert I still wasn't really straight to drive yet so girl and me walked down to the water and looked at the downtown skyline and stuff so that was pretty relaxing.

If I had wanted to avoid it, it would have been pretty hard. The smell of marijuana in the air was pretty strong from the very first song.

I saw a guy in the parking lot from my school that I knew. We were in the parking lot talking and I figured he'd be blazing and he said just stick around his group (the venue is general admission and we were down in front of the stage standing) and they would after it got dark (so after the 1st set). In intermission between sets I started talking to some guy who was standing near me and he let me take a couple hits from his piece when it was getting passed around. After the second set started and it got dark the joints from the guys I knew started getting passed. One time I passed it to a 62 year old who I think was there by himself, I don't know but it was definitely the highlight of the story. It had such a good vibe and everyone was cool with it.

trust, you'll have to tell me about the kiss. I just remembered I received that text. When I saw it I was in the desert and phone died.

Friday:
Called Stacey to say bye before her trip, phone already off.

Went into work early and left at noon. Drank a little til about 5 when a friend got into town then we all went out to the desert camping. Should've been an hour's drive ... left my house at 6 and finally ended up stopping at 920. Never found Killbourne Hole, just camped in the desert. A friend's buddy was headed out there so at about midnight we went to try to find him. Drove an hour (way too far) and never found him. On way back to camp I got stuck :(. Eventually got traction by putting branches under the LR tire (that's the one that lots traction), I was already in 4x4 when I got stuck.

While getting unstuck my pants got WET. Slipped into the hole I was stuck in (after I got unstuck) looking for the bottle of Jack (for some reason the dude riding with me had the Jack with us and then took it out of my truck when I was off getting branches to stick under the tire). DJ, the dude riding with me, was in a deep part trying to help me get out. When we got back we just ended up taking off our jeans and puttin' 'em near the fire to dry out. Ellen and Larissa got a kick out of it.

Next mornin' pants are still completely soaked. I drive back with them in my back seat. Michael's truck dies on the side of the highway, small town highway. I end up helping push it. I'm wearin my white t-shirt, boxers, and my boots. Awesome.

Sleep at about 3 and up by before 7 and headed home.

I've got an awesome grinding sound coming from my front end when accelerating a bit, and while engaging when I'm already in motion. Rear diff has a drip, leak is where shaft goes in. Sadness.

Saturday:
Drinking. That about sums up Saturday. We killed 5 30s, a 5th of whiskey, 12 of Miller High Life, and some (maybe a 1/3 of a 5th) tequila. That was Friday and Saturday. 8 of us did that damage.

While we were hanging out last night Ellen (room mate's chick that he cheated on ex with) was here and then room mate's ex came over. Michael, who is into Ellen, saw Val and "Who invited you?" in an obnoxious tone, hilarious! Later he was dancing and drinking tequila outta the bottle and Val said "That's disgusting" to which Michael replied "You're disgusting!" She was obnoxious at times last night.
When it was just a few of us left (Me, Josh, Val, and Christina [val's friend]) Val had two SMALL sips of tequila (she doesnt drink because of the crazy meds she is on) and then started rolling on the floor "I'm drunk, ahhh!" WTF dude, seriously.

Sunday:
Michael's dog, Darlin, is here, he is at Ellen's. I wake up and Darlin and Shosty (my dog) are sleeping on my bed. I go to living room and watch an hour+ of The Office. Ellen & Michael get here, I go to get something outta my room and smell dog shit. Darlin crapped on my pants (the ones from Friday's story) :(. Shosty puked behind the couch in the living room from eating something in the gravel in the back yard. Sigh.

Watching A Goofy Movie now.

Just try to relax, rabbit. If you don't ask her, it's practically the same as asking and getting rejected. If you do ask her, and she says yes, don't take it so seriously. Logically, there's pretty much nothing to be anxious about. You're creating problems for yourself. Don't think of this as a big decision. Dinner is OK. Do something that involves interaction (a sport -- badminton, tennis, etc), or talking (dinner, a walk somewhere nice, picnic, fireworks, coffee etc). I'd go with coffee or a 1v1 sport.

16' boat. I'd never been before, was planning on learning while out there. My friend who was to be teaching me was tarded. We fucked around for a few hours not really going anywhere fast or fun until we needed to get back to the port and he didn't know how to. After watching him fail for an hour or so, I undid the jeb (Not sure on spelling), which he was convinced would not help our situation, and we ended up back at port shortly after. Always good when the person learning is smarter than the person teaching.

All in all, it was okay. Once we got the jeb open, it was fun as hell.

My stepmom and dad are bringing my cat to the vet, and if there's nothing wrong with him, they're euthanizing him because apparently he peed on the rugs again, and they're heartless. I'm not sure if they'll actually put him down, but we'll see. :/

That's horrible. I hate the idea of "pets" being solely for human amusement and pleasure. It should go both ways. It's a lot like euthanizing your own kid for spilling ink on the floor.

Can't they find someone to adopt it?

They could be doing it more out of spite than for practical reasons.

But people don't consider animals to have any kind of rights, which I think is awful.

Title: Re: Let's hear it! aka Booze and Women!
Post by: Rule on July 23, 2008, 02:28:54 pm

Maybe partly out of spite. My guess is that they just don't care about the cat, it is more inconvenience than amusement, and euthanizing is the most convenient option.

Yes, the way people view other animal life is terrifying. People will kill their pets if they are inconvenient. Or even take pleasure from killing or torturing other animal life. But these same people were outraged when a human in a permanent vegetative state was euthanized. Millions of dollars were spent, and laws were changed, specifically to prevent this from happening to Terry Schiavo. There was a huge spectacle of public outrage (on both sides). These same people also go crazy about protecting a fertilized human egg.

Humans are insane.

Anyways, I'd urge them to put it up for adoption.

My adviser told me my schedule was too hard with chemistry, so she made me take it out and replace it with psychology. All in all, though, I'm really content.

The first advisor I had (I came in undeclared) kept telling me to do 12-15 hours, and I regret taking her seriously. When I was working out my possible electives for next year, I had to cut so many from my list because I didn't have a pre-requisite I should have taken my freshman year. If you think you can handle it, sign up for the course. You can usually drop the course after 1 or 2 weeks with no penalties if you think it'll be too much.

It's hard to objectively give advice on which courses are "easy" and which are not. Some courses are easy to pretty much everyone. Others, like psychology, would highly depend on your strengths and interests. I think a person at random would be more likely to find a first year psych course much easier than say, a 2nd year math course, but for me it would be the opposite. The psych course would take a lot of memorization, and practice answering a lot of these silly multiple choice questions quickly and under pressure. The math course, on the other hand, would only require a fundamental understanding of a few concepts -- it would hardly seem like work at all.

So if you know you are good at chemistry, and you enjoy the subject, I wouldn't choose psych in preference.

So after we did a crapload of work on an assignment today, 3 of us went over to Harry's (one of the other two guys I was with). Harry has an awesome apartment (951 sq ft) in the middle of the city on the 15th floor of a complex. There's a giant storm system (mostly thunderstorms) coming up the east coast. For about an hour the 3 of us sat back with beer and caramel corn and just watched the awesomeness of the storm. It was awesome.

In Dallas. Left 6am this morning, arrived 7pm, so 12 hr drive (time change). Saw a castle a dude mentioned (JWool) Should've been like 10ish, but got lost in Dallas since my directions told me to take an exit that was closed for construction. We drove around a lot. Saw some F'ING gorgeous houses near SMU off Central Expressway.

Tomorrow mornin' is downtown Dallas, and strolling SMU campus.

Chili's for lunch in Burleson tomorrow should be awesome, then down to Waco. Baylor that afternoon, George's for dinner. Who knows what that night.

Then Austin on Friday.

Calgary is extremely expensive right now, and it was in a nicer neighbourhood (bordering downtown).

I know people who were paying $1500 - $2000/month for fairly small apartments.

Installed Vista on my MacBook. I'm not impressed thus far as the trackpad is really, really sensitive, and I only got a 5.0 rating on the performance thing... when my 4 year old computer got a 4.4. I think Apple gives it crappy drivers so it makes it run badly! Anything with 4GB RAM should get nothing less than a 5.9 on the memory rating... I got a 5.1. Oh well.

Still deciding whether or not I want to go OS X or use Vista. Perks to Vista include games and convenience with knowing where/what everything is... but I don't know how much I'll game in college. I can also get Office free for Vista... and I'll have to pay for the OS X version. But who knows? Maybe I'll just manage both... I just want a partition big enough to handle all my music. Unfortunately, I can't split the drive evenly (100/100) and have room for anything but music! So I have to decide. Help! :)

Maybe I'll do a ~20GB partition for Vista.... just for a few games I want to run. Like Baldur's Gate and such.

In the center of Philadelphia, that's a pretty decent sized apartment. It will seem small because there will be 3 of us, but the master bedroom alone is bigger than my one friend's current entire apartment (a studio POS). What's more, the rent for him would be $100 cheaper.

Keep all your music on the HFS+ partition, and pirate a program called MacDrive, which is basically an HFS driver for Windows. The program is really cool if you have an iPod too, because it allows you to format the iPod with HFS+ (read: a much faster fs that doesn't get fragmented) without losing the ability to use the iPod with Windows or even sync it with iTunes in Windows.

How much is in a keg? Cause he's got like...5 cases already, and he's waiting on a few more.

waiting? like did he mail order beer or something? don't you know anyone with a fake or that's 21 that can just go get it the day of this ballin ass party?

speaking of parties, crazy shit last night. got the art counselor (30 years old w/ a daughter) high for the first time in 10 years it was crazy enough that she even came to the party but then she blazed. pretty bad headache this morning though.

What? It's cheaper than going to any of the liquor stores around here. All the prices are jacked up around here, and he said it was easier and cheaper to just have cases delivered.

yeah man and last night I got two counselors from Israel high. In the past week I've gotten a 62 year old man high, a 30 year old woman, and 2 Israeli's. I wonder who's next, I'm going to another concert tonight so maybe I'll meet some other random person.

Party again last night, pretty fun...ended up getting about 45mins of sleep and it was on a beach. Bad decision to go there after the party.

Fuck i think i got a ticket for running a red light
ok so i am going to a mall and there is a red light camera right in front of the mall entrance anyways when i get into the intersection the light is green but when i go to get into the mall it turns yellow and i am still in the intersection then red and i am freaking out. and i get into bestbuy ( where i bought my defective ram :() and i was so nervous that i was shaking..
and i have been thinking to myself why a developer would put a stop sign right before the stop lights: here is a pic
(http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g143/Hagen_ho/other/asdfdfa.jpg)

so do you guys think i got a ticket? and if i did do you think i can fight it? god i fucking hate summer.

I think you're going to have to explain the situation more before we can guess if you got a ticket. I didn't understand that first paragraph at all (although the picture helps, it doesn't show what happened, just the setting).

You didn't get a ticket I'd probably guess. I've started entering intersections when the light is yellow and gotten no tickets. If it's red and you're in the center of the intersection or even just a bit in, you're legally required to finish the driving maneuver. Good estimate is "halfway." Did you see the camera flash? If not, you're probably OK. If so, just ignore the ticket if they mail deliver it. Out here in Arizona, a cop has to deliver you the ticket for it to hold up in court. Look into that in California.

As for the RAM, see if there's a warranty and return it for working RAM?

Post by: Camel on July 28, 2008, 03:39:17 pm

You didn't run a red light; you can't get a ticket for it. The law clearly states that the camera has to have a picture with both the red light and your car visible both before you enter the intersection and of you in the intersection; otherwise a still would not prove that you ran the light. The camera will not trigger unless the light is already red when you trip the sensor.

You could, theoretically, get a ticket for entering the intersection when you didn't have a clear path out of it - that's definitely illegal as well. The camera won't trigger for that case, though, so you shouldn't worry about it.

Not recommended; buy it at least a day before the party, and avoid buying more then $99 at a time if there's going to be underage people consuming, since the liquor store will sometimes be required to advise the police, or in some cases will do so as a store policy. If you're buying a keg, you pretty much have to give your life story away, so you could get in even more trouble.

If that's accurate, it's pretty slow for an on-campus connection. You probably have a full 100Mbps synchronous, but the benchmarking server can't keep up. Campus networks are almost always Tier 1, so their actual network bandwidth is probably too high for anyone to have ever bothered calculating.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Skywing on July 29, 2008, 02:06:37 pm

"Tier 1" is pretty much such a loaded/marketing term that it's about useless for any sort of technical evaluation.

The generally accepted meaning for "Tier 1" is a provider that does not pay for transit. This really doesn't have any direct correlation to the quality of service they provide, or how much bandwidth they might be willing to offer you. (And, in fact, peering with a single "Tier 1" provider exclusively for all connectivity can be dangerous, c.f. all of the various depeering disputes that Cogent likes to have with TeliaSonera, Level3, etc.)

That being said, all of the universities I have had interactions with did not get their bandwidth exclusively from anyone meeting the above definition of "Tier 1". (Edit: There might well be univerisities that do fall under that category, but certainly not all of them, and buying from a "Tier 1" provider or not is not a particularly meaningful way to characterise the quality of their network connectivity.)

As I said earlier in this thread, twice I think, rabbit shouldn't edit this, and krazed shouldn't assert ownership to prevent it. Saying one person is wrong doesn't make the other person automatically right.

In any case, let's just leave it the way it started (and went for the first 5400 posts), and let life go on. This isn't something to get upset about.

Friend turns 21 on Thursday. We're headed up to Ruidoso, NM to see him this weekend (he lives in Alto, just outside of 'doso). Checking out Cross Canadian Ragweed on August 2, then beer.

I asked Stacey about going, she said she'd love to but has a going away party for her room mate who is about to leave ABQ never to see many of the ABQ people again. The room mate is going to France for a year (I feel bad for her).

I've been drunk the last couple of weekends, OK ... every weekend except two (July 5 & July 12 weekends) since May 07, but I've yet to make any stupid decisions or hit on chicks shamelessly. Maybe I actually care about what I do in regards to not screwing up stuff with Stacey? I know I care, but while DRUNK I don't even do stupid shit (me cutting back my drinking was so I don't do stupid shit, but I don't do it while drunk now either).
Am I becoming sober, considerate, thoughtful? Maybe I just care about her? I dunno. It's weird for there not to be stories about me hitting on chicks while drunk. I like it.

"Tier 1" is pretty much such a loaded/marketing term that it's about useless for any sort of technical evaluation.

The generally accepted meaning for "Tier 1" is a provider that does not pay for transit. This really doesn't have any direct correlation to the quality of service they provide, or how much bandwidth they might be willing to offer you. (And, in fact, peering with a single "Tier 1" provider exclusively for all connectivity can be dangerous, c.f. all of the various depeering disputes that Cogent likes to have with TeliaSonera, Level3, etc.)

That being said, all of the universities I have had interactions with did not get their bandwidth exclusively from anyone meeting the above definition of "Tier 1". (Edit: There might well be univerisities that do fall under that category, but certainly not all of them, and buying from a "Tier 1" provider or not is not a particularly meaningful way to characterise the quality of their network connectivity.)

That's pretty interesting, because I have always had a totally different notion of what Tier 1 means. If you characterize the internet as a tree, you can usually move up 2-3 steps from "guy with dial-up modem" before you get to a network which is so large that it is under peering agreements. At that point, the tree analogy breaks down, because that network has connections to "the internet" in more than just one single direction; that's the Tier 1 distinction I am referring to.

I realize that it's an imprecise definition, but you still have to admit that it would be pretty unrealistic for any Tier 1 network not to have ungodly amounts of bandwidth; I think it's safe to speculate that peering happens exclusively at the point where it's no longer reliable to measure the amount data being transferred.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Skywing on July 30, 2008, 09:38:01 pm

Actually, settlment-free peering is pretty much exclusively about the amount of transit happening in either direction. Most peering/depeering disputes between Tier-1 providers (and sometimes their customers) tend to happen over one side thinking that they are receiving a great deal more transit than they are passing on to the other end - that the other end is "getting a free lunch", so to speak.

No doubt some of you can already do 50 consecutive push ups, but let's face it, you're in a big minority. Most of you reading this won't even be able to manage 20 pushups. Actually, I'm sure many of you can't even do 10.

Woo, suddenly I don't feel so bad that I can only do just over 10! :)

I've already been doing 200 crunches for about 2 weeks, but then I found that when looking for some other things to do, and I figured I'd try it out. Crunches hurt, and then after the pushups...but it's worth it. I'm gaining too much weight.

if you live in the dorms the membership is included in those fees. but not regular academic fees. i think it would be easier and cheaper to work out at my school instead of spending thousands on a 24 hour fitness membership.

All peering is, by definition, settlement-free. If the difference is measured in orders of magnitude, it's certainly not unmeasurable, in which case depeering is inevitable. In a large network, it's very difficult to determine precisely how much bandwidth is being used. One can easily measure how much data customer X is using, but accurately monitoring how much traffic is going across the connection that is represented by the peering agreement is a feat that large ISPs would pay a lot of money for.

I imagine that an accurate solution would result in the abolishment of most peering agreements, in exchange for a pay-as-you-send agreement for the same link, thus eliminating the example you gave.

I don't mind the gym membership as much as I mind the athletic events fee (students can attend any normal basketball/football/whatever event). I'm not into watching any sports at all, but I still have to pay to support them. I've been using the gym most days this summer. I should still be able to make it 3x a week once the semester starts, but we'll see.

k so as you guys know i am going to college next year and i have absolutly no money after tuition :( and i dont want to live at home so the solution: build a house. my dad owns a warehouse and it is like a 2 story building but is only used as one ( if that makes sense) anyways on top of the office i decided there was enough room to make 2 rooms one for me and one for my brother and it is going really good so far. i am almost completed. i just have a couple more walls to insulate and drywall and i still need to put in carpet or whatnot. but tomorrow i will post pictures.

The disparity between 1st and 2nd, and 2nd and 3rd, is pretty hilarious.

It's pretty obvious that Trust and CrAz3d are so far ahead because they post their life problems (and have all the more to post!) but what about the disparity between 1st and 2nd?

After a little thought, I have concluded that CrAzed pulls ahead because he not only posts about his life problems, but he also posts pictures of trucks, cars, and mexicans.

Also, I think alcohol is involved. The ratio 1313 : 851 : 452, approximately 13 : 8 : 4 is pretty much the ratio that Craz3d, Trust, and Newby drink in.

It's just two joins. I was shocked to see how long the query you ran earlier took. Are you indexing the appropriate fields?

[edit] After looking back at the query, I realized you're doing a pattern match on the topic title. That ought to explain why it took so long; how long does it take if you use the PK?

I try, but I have no control over where she sits (remember, she's always late). She sits close enough that I can say short things, but we can't have a full conversation or anything. There's usually 1 or 2 people between us, assuming she's even on the same side of the room.

However, since it's my last year of undergrad and may never see or talk to most of the peeps ever again... I think I shall try taking the initiative to start a relationship with this girl I've had interest in since freshman year. Although, I may be too far into the friend zone by now.

But it's still joining two rather large tables together.

So what? A search on an indexed field is a O(log(n)) operation. The query is slow because you asked the database to do an expensive operation (pattern match) on every single post in the entire database before you even got to the join. When you consider that n=153442, replacing the O(n) pattern match with O(log(n)) PK search will reduce runtime complexity of the initial (pre-join) search by 4.5 orders of magnitude, not to mention that the pattern match is replaced with a numerical equals check.

Since the join isn't actually affected, it's tough to say exactly how the final run-time will fare, but I think we can pretty safely assume that 153442 pattern matches accounts for a great deal of the one second the query took. This page was constructed using 12 queries in 168ms, and I'm sure that almost every one of them performed a join on the users table, so it would be absurd to suggest that a join on the users table takes more than 14ms.

Run this code and shit bricks: (it's C)

Code: [Select]

_(__,___,____){___/__<=1?_(__,___+1,____):!(___%__)?_(__,___+1,0):___%__==___/
__&&!____?(printf("%d\t",___/__),_(__,___+1,0)):___%__>1&&___%__<___/__?_(__,1+
___,____+!(___/__%(___%__))):___<__*__?_(__,___+1,____):0;}main(){_(100,0,0);}

It prints out all prime numbers >0 <100.

EDIT -
Changing the 100 to 1000 causes a segfault. :(

And what is today? Is it Wednesday? No. Ask her to hang out this evenin', casually. Go chill some where you both would enjoy and that is a relaxed environment. Put thought into it, don't do something stupid/cliche/etc. ... unless you think she'll like it, that is.

Crazy shit:
I started working at this law office in June '04. One of my boss' clients happened to be my dad's boss (at the time) and he also goes to our church. Client's employment of my dad ended (my dad went back to school to get his master's & teach).

Last fall I had a business law class that focused on civil cases, and how to break them down or build one up from a facts set. Best class/prof I've ever

Above mentioned client is now in a sticky situation with a disgruntled home buyer (client is a contractor). Home buyer's attorney is my blaw prof.

Interesting how the world is so small.

So, his staff sergeant bought him a little flask of JD, and said dig it out with a knife.

You can't have tattoos in visible locations (the actual regulations are a bit more specific but thats the jist). That also doesn't qualify as a "threat."

Anything negative that you say you'll do to someone is a threat, with or without the right of following it through. Furthermore, if the soldier refused, the sergeant wouldn't have the right to carve it out himself, since a soldier can quit the army at any time.

You cant quit. ever. You can not re-enlist, but if you want to quit you're gonna have to seriously fuck some shit up, and even then you'll just end up in military prison for like 15 years.

The military owns you for however long you said they do ... you're a piece of property, not a person.

He's in a gang? Fucker shouldn't be let in. I'm pissed that the military is taking anyone and everyone. They even accept felons now. Fuck that. I saw History Channel's Gangland episode on military gang members that recruit within and then go home to train gang bangers. Those fuckers should be shot. If I ever saw some stupid ass dick-weed recruiting for a gang in the military (and I was in and of rank) I would have the fucker shot on the spot. Fuck consequences, it's about keeping the military strong, gang members have NO place in the military.

I do believe you're woefully misinformed.

When I said its "not a threat" I was meaning that the Sgt. isn't going to actually carve the tattoo out himself. He will seek the proper channels and get it taken care of. This language is common in military culture and is pretty much "You're going to do X, you can either do it the easy way or the hard way"

You can't just "quit" the military either. Sure you could "walk away" but thats punishable by death...

He's in a gang? Fucker shouldn't be let in. I'm pissed that the military is taking anyone and everyone. They even accept felons now. Fuck that. I saw History Channel's Gangland episode on military gang members that recruit within and then go home to train gang bangers. Those fuckers should be shot. If I ever saw some stupid ass dick-weed recruiting for a gang in the military (and I was in and of rank) I would have the fucker shot on the spot. Fuck consequences, it's about keeping the military strong, gang members have NO place in the military.

No. He's not in a gang. He got a drunk tattoo of three dots in a triangle, and they said it was a gang tattoo. He doesn't affiliate with gangs.

She works Tuesdays and Thursdays right after class (when she bolts anyways). Earliest I can ask her out is next week.

Why are you taking advice from someone who obviously fails in maintaining relations with the opposite sex? I don't know how many times I've seen posts of him babbling on about this or that girl.

Post by: CrAz3D on August 06, 2008, 05:20:24 pm

back story: Favorite prof/class of all college was my business law class taught by Ben Furth. Talked about a lot of civil law suit stuff, breaking down suits and then building up new ones from different facts sets. He was the most eager to help out of any professor I've ever had. Not that my other professors WOULDN'T help if I asked, but he was always pushing the class to meet with him and discuss things we may not grasp.

He is currently rep'ing a client that is in a dispute with a client of the office I work in.

I just answered the phone and it was Ben. He recognized me, ask how I was, asked when/where I was planning to attend law school and asked if I needed any letters of recommendation. When I mentioned I hadn't got to that yet, he said "well keep me in mind."

Freakin' best prof I've ever had, and probably the most capable. Bio from intertubes:

Quote

Mr. Furth graduated cum lande from the University of Michigan Law School in 1999. There, he received the prestigious American Jurisprudence in Securities Regulation. During his law school summers, Mr. Furth clerked for a federal judge, the Honorable Howard D. McKibben in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, and worked for the largest defense firm in the nation, Jones Day, in Los Angeles. After graduating from Michigan, Mr. Furth worked for Furth, Fahrner & Mason, a twenty-attorney plaintiffs' class action firm in downtown San Francisco.
...
On a more personal level, Mr. Furth was a two time Academic All-American golfer, and the first All-American golfer in the history of the University of California, Berkeley and was inducted in the University of California, Berkeley Sports Hall of Fame in 2005.

Why did I quote? Anyways, at least I know she likes me (at least) as a friend right now, since we had a conversation on the way to class today. Basically, she went, thought it was canceled (because last Weds' class was) and was leaving, and me and my friend ran into her at the bottom of the stairs, so we talked for like, 5 minutes there and then the rest of the way up to the (uncanceled) class.

Depends; for me, the only reason I get nauseous is if I don't flush the beer out of my system - then when I wake up and I've got natty fermenting in my stomach, any movement results in projectile vomit.

I've never personally felt that there was any link between being hungover (which in my book is just slang for dehydrated) and feeling sick. I know other people who are the exact opposite, though.

So, I just moved into my room for the academic year, and we set up our issued computers, so here I am posting :). Plebe summer doesn't end until Monday night, so you probably wont hear from me again until that time. In case you were wondering, we were issued a Dell Optiplex 755, with some other things too (such as a 500gb external). I'll tell you more about it later, I don't have too much time right now. Oh, and I'll post more pictures once I get them :D (I have more of me in the summer whites)

They issued us so much stuff. You could have shown up here only with the clothes on your back and be fine. In fact, that is basically what I ended up doing. I don't really like seeing an issue of over $1,000 , at least I'm indirectly paying for it though haha (they pay me, and take away from that pay before I get it)

Finished 2nd in a poker money tournament :). Here are some highlights:

(http://tunmise.com/images/pokertournament.jpg)

If you don't understand from the picture, two of the three people went all in pre-flop (before the cards were dealt), and each were dealt another card completing their hand, making it trip (three of a kind) Aces vs. trip Jacks vs. trip Queens. A very rare event :P. Although the trip Aces obviously won, if one more spade came on the board, the trip Kings would've won with an Ace high flush.

(http://tunmise.com/images/pokertournament2.jpg)

This is earlier in the same tournament. As shown, I was dealt K9 suited, and then on the flop came the best hand I could hope for, J 10 Q suited, completing my hand with a straight flush. Most hands are won with pairs/trips, so this was pretty amazing. It's actually one down from a royal flush (best hand possible) and at the flop was impossible to beat, so my only goal afterward was sucking money out from the only other player in, Trinks. Sadly, I only made $960 off him.

180 people were in the tournament, 18 places were paid, and it lasted 1 hour and 49 minutes. The reason it was so short is because its a "turbo" style game, meaning that the blinds (forced bets) raise very fast, so more people are blinded out in a shorter period of time. Also, you have less time to contemplate your hand.

the trip Kings would've won with an Ace high flush.

I would refer to that as a King high flush, since the king is the operative card - anyone else with a spade flush would have to beat the King, not the Ace. In either case, that flush would have been the nuts!

Ha, it's still called an Ace high flush, regardless of how it plays :P. And it would not have necessarily been the nut hand because even if he hit a spade on the turn, the pocket Aces could have hit an Ace on the river.

As you know I tried being vegan, and this lasted for 5 months (I think 9 months vegetarian). But I found myself eating unhealthily, i.e. I wasn't eating enough calories and wasn't getting enough nutrients and variety. I may end up going vegan when I get older and when it's more convenient, but for now I shouldn't rob myself of enjoying food!

I just find it hard to believe you'd eat the flesh of birds people have killed! I thought you liked birds! :P

A couple weeks back, one of my co-workers was telling me about how he used to work on a chicken farm. He told me some stories from it, and wow, they were horrible. When they wanted to harvest them, they'd go through the barn at nick grabbing them by their legs. He described to me how it felt/sounded when their legs were snapping and bending and the chicken was pecking him in horror. It was unbelievable!

(And incidentally, this guy isn't a vegetarian or anything, and had no reason to embellish the story)

But I need to eat healthily, and I wasn't doing this when I was vegan. I am very discomforted by the system in which we take life to sustain life, and I have doubts on both sides of the fence.

For instance, I once asked you on AIM what you thought of the very elementary fact that animals eat other animals. You told me, "animals don't set a standard that I'd like to live by". But I don't really like this answer, because I view animals very fondly, and I wouldn't want to think them as these beings forced into wrongdoing (the taking of other animals' lives) by necessity. It is also discomforting to think of nature as being flawed in that sense. So in being vegan, I feel like I have to accept these concessions, of a flaw in the nature of animals and nature itself, in order to justify my double standard -- and it's just dissatisfactory.

Then there's the thought that animals become more compassionate and empathetic when we domesticate them, which is why it is so inhumane and repulsive to kill a pet, but not a wild animal. But I don't like this either. It's really a catch-22.

It's really a screwy world -- one where people say (and believey) they care about animals, but turn around and support their wholesale suffering/slaughter. I think the problem comes down to that it's a vegetarian/vegan-unfriendly world. People people would be vegan if more people were vegan.

Funny story, though, and a quick one because I'm already late for work -- a couple weeks ago I was at my parents' place. It was shortly after dinner (we had a barbecue), and me and my dad were watching a hawk who'd caught something to eat (a small rabbit or big mouse, I think), and was sitting on a telephone pole eating it. My stepmom saw it and was upset, she wanted my dad to get his pellet gun and "shoot the little bastard for doing that to another animal". Now generally I don't bug people about what they eat, because all that does is annoy people, but at that point I had to say "wtf?" -- how can you eat flesh for dinner then be pissed off that a hawk is doing the same thing? I should shoot you with the pellet gun! (ok, I didn't say that part).

Her only answer was, "but I didn't kill the animals myself!"

But yeah, it's a funny world. :)

Another thing -- I was cutting grass at my dad's cottage on the weekend, and there were frogs all over the place. I know (and I'm very upset about it) that I ran over at least two of them, as hard as I tried not to. And I couldn't help but thinking how easy it was to kill them, compared to, for example, holding them down and cutting them in half with a knife, which would have been horrible, yet the exact same thing!

Yes, technology kills animals, a sad fact. Another example: many people take the train to work by convenience or necessity. But a train kills more animals in a year than a car can kill in a lifetime. Should a vegan then not take the train to work? It seems to me that since a train is a sure murderer of animals (unlike a car in which you may go a lifetime without committing roadkill), a vegan should boycott trains just like he or she boycotts eating animals.

Where do you draw the line between convenience and principle?

I don't see how you're setting a double standard. You are not in a situation where you must eat meat or animal products to survive, whereas most animals are, and hence no double standard.

The double standard is that it's okay for animals to eat meat, whereas it's not okay for humans. The idea that it's necessary for animals is what removes the double standard. But I was also saying that the fact that nature is set up in such a way is dissatisfying -- while it seems very silly and childish to say so, I think people are so used to it they don't really let it ever affect them properly. I suppose this dissatisfaction is sort of inherent in the vegan philosophy, as it indicts no less than the entire world, including all of the presidents, prime ministers, kings, queens, etc. alive today.

I have been playing devil's advocate for veganism thus far, but I think that when I get older it will be very manageable for me, so I don't see why I should go halfway to save myself some small inconvenience. (On the contrary, boycotting trains is a large inconvenience, which I will not entertain.)

I am really undecided on the matter and I like to debate it to see which side I lean toward ("side" being the wrong word, rather uninhibited, selective, or vegan).

The selectivity isn't necessarily to avoid convenience, although it could be. Not all animals are equally valuable in my opinion. And not eating certain animal products does not always help animals, in my opinion -- in fact, it may do the opposite. This is what I mean when I say it's not so black and white. I don't like "all or none" philosophies, because there are almost certainly big loopholes. I'd rather make my decisions on a situation by situation basis.

This is true, though I think veganism is better defined as the goal of saving the lives and livelihood of animals at the cost of reconcilable inconvenience, than a list of products one should or should not eat. With this in mind, if it is discovered that eating one certain animal product furthers the goal of veganism, vegans may exclude this animal from their boycott if they cannot find a better solution.

I am a little dubious that such loopholes exist in the first place (I think farm animals could be put in habitats), but I don't think they should change the argument, or be the focus of it, which is why I changed the definition.

You may say that the very definition I gave for veganism is equivalent to your idea of selectivity, but I don't think so. I think the definition I gave is all or nothing, since it is basically giving your all for animals, save for inconvenience one cannot live by. And I've never met a vegetarian by the philosophy I gave above.

Friday-Monday we* drank:
7.5 30s of Keystone
1 18pack of Miller Lite (yay bottles, I had an obnoxious Friday)
1 12pack of Amber Bock
1 fifth Absolut (where this came from is beyond me)
1 fifth Malibu

24 gallons of beer...yeah, intense. VERY intense.

*"We" consisted of me, michael, joel, steve, ellen, adam, efrain and a few other people that don't really drink all that much (including girlfriend, yay her*!).
Joel & Michael were both in town this weekend, drinking heavily was obligatory. I've noticed I drink a lot less now, it's cheaper too. I like that.

I've decided that I'm dating a rather tolerant woman. She saw my drunken stupor on Saturday (well, Friday-last night, but I only saw her Saturday) for the first time in a while (she was at our last end-of-the-year party, the one that got busted). Not quite sure she understood how much I'd had to drink, she kept asking if I was gonna be OK and all ... I wasn't really trashed. I didn't want to do something stupid so I wasn't obliterated. Hell, I haven't been obliterated (like not remembering stuff) in a long time.

Train carries more people. If the train's full, does the train still kill more animals per occupant than a car? Same question for freight trains vs trucks.

Not the best day...

Yesterday my Macbook stopped booting up. I thought it was the charger so I took the charger into the Apple Store, it worked there. They gave me an appointment for today to have my computer checked out. I go in, the guy plugs it in and a flame comes out of the keyboard and it starts smoking. Apparently it was due to liquir corrosion on the inside. Well, that sucks...$755 repair. I'm not paying that when the computer cost me $1000 originally. So I ended up buying a Macbook Pro and got the iPod touch student deal. So now I have a Macbook Pro which is cool but I definitely wasn't expecting that bill today. After I bought that I went to pick my car up from the shop, another $300...then $59 to fill it up. I was doing a good job saving up for school and then today came.

It surprises the hell out of me that your mac bursts into flames and the next thing you do is buy another one.

LOL, I thought that was funny too.

To be fair, though, macbooks usually work really well for a long time -- to my knowledge, anyway.

Both of my laptop batteries are totally dead. And a new one cost $231.11. What a ripoff.

Not the best day...

Yesterday my Macbook stopped booting up. I thought it was the charger so I took the charger into the Apple Store, it worked there. They gave me an appointment for today to have my computer checked out. I go in, the guy plugs it in and a flame comes out of the keyboard and it starts smoking. Apparently it was due to liquir corrosion on the inside. Well, that sucks...$755 repair. I'm not paying that when the computer cost me $1000 originally. So I ended up buying a Macbook Pro and got the iPod touch student deal. So now I have a Macbook Pro which is cool but I definitely wasn't expecting that bill today. After I bought that I went to pick my car up from the shop, another $300...then $59 to fill it up. I was doing a good job saving up for school and then today came.

Similar thing happened to me, but I paid the $800 because they don't just slap the same old stuff in there; I have a new macbook in an old case :)

[edit] Incidentally, they gave me a new keyboard, too. Sure, the springyness wears out after like a day of use, but it's still cool!

My politics & FILM class has lots of reading and I hate the prof, he drones! I'm gonna try to get my internship extended from 5credit hrs to 9 so I can drop this "film" class. I only need credits to graduate, they can even be lower division ones. I just want out already! Senioritis BIG time. That or I just hate the school. Probably both.

At my school, all the dorms were on one side of the campus, and the rest of the buildings were on the other. The distance from my dorm to the closest lab wasn't that great, but it meant climbing many stairs in each direction!

If it were only for the first day or two, you could definitely get by without too much inconvenience. You'll be spending most of that time away from your computer anyways, unless you're completely socially inept.

No, I don't. We don't have any computer labs in dorms, and even if we did I'm living in the fraternity house. We have a computing center which has a lab, and then the library. It's just a bigger inconvenience. I'm getting up to school a day or two early so not many people will be there, so having the laptop will be good. The girl is staying with me for a few days (her sister goes to school nearby and moves in today) so I'll have something to do (hang out with her/her sister/my other friends at their school) but I'm trying to end it with her so I'm not really into that whole idea.

I was never able to get any work done in my Fraternity house, regardless of what room I was in or the availability of computers. Having 30 very good friends walking around just made it impossible. It was always worth the trip to the library or a computer lab.

For one particular class, where we had to modify the Linux kernel, it wasn't feasible to work remotely (even though we did have SSH access), because the bootloader isn't sophisticated enough to try one kernel and fall back on the good one if it fails. That was probably a good thing though, since it meant that pretty much everyone in the class was working on the same problem at the same time in the same room. That was certainly one of the better classes I took :)

I'd like to share with you guys a quote we had to memorize over summer:

Quote from: Theodore Roosevelt

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

I was talking to Newby and it crossed my mind. It is definitely my favorite quote, mainly because I've never really enjoyed any quotes before :P.

Its with her ex that decided he didnt love her (she was tore up a while, I dunno how/why she tried to talk to me about it). She's been fired from Dominos before (how you get fired from fast food is beyond me). She originally came to the university to get her degree in music ed (wanted to teach), but failed SOOOO many classes. She contemplated the airforce (at her dad's[master sergeant] demand, I'm sure) for a while ... but she's WAY too out of shape to do it now.

She became a bad person (maybe she always was and that's why she cheated/hurt me/etc.) and she's become a failure. I have no sympathy for people who ruin their own life and I take comfort in seeing karma coming around.

Uhh.... if I did that I would have no option but to commit suicide. Picture a fat older woman, with a nasal and monotonous voice, who is always pushing her glasses up.

On a much more recent note, I bombed another quiz in that class! We were supposed to print out and read a lab before the lab, and she quizzed us on that. She asked the most ridiculous questions on that too, so again I didn't know most of it. :-/

(A) http://www.thevolcanovaporizer.com
(B) was over at some apartments at a different college down the road, the apartments are located in a shopping center...I didn't realize all of the parking spaces were retail only so I came out later and my car was gone. Picked it up today for $95. If I went after 12 I'd have had to pay an additional $30 storage fee so I had to miss a class (on the first day of classes) to go get my car.

it was definitely the most clear high I've ever had, I guess because it was a pure THC high and not any of the other chemicals in marijuana. Afterwards was just ridiculous. I left my friends apartment, 2 people were streaking, I met a stray dog and named it Bertha...it followed me for awhile. Then I got back to my house and everyone was hammered drunk. Me and the lady friend were just chilling and I just enjoyed myself a lot.

If you're going to fail something, make it a quiz. It's fine to fail a few quizzes; in the end, the impact on your grade is almost negligible. Failing a test, though, will drop your grade by at least a letter.

Every chess professional agrees that chess is a sport. They would know better than you.

The definition of a sport is a little ambiguous; it can either be (1) a competitive activity, or (2) a competitive activity that involves physical exertion. In the case of (1) there is no dispute. In the case of (2), I will let you know that chess professionals consider it an important part of their training to keep physically fit. The two contenders for the upcoming World Championship have both mentioned in interviews that they are doing so. Kramnik goes swimming or running every day, and Anand goes to the gym everyday. When you have to retain concentration on a board for 6 or so hours, fitness becomes a factor.

Programming isn't really competitive in the sense that people host tournaments and the like to see who codes better; of course, TopCoder is an exception.

WTF!? Time to start bringing guns to friggin work!
Someone just came in our back door, walked around, then left. It wasn't our runner, she's on the other side of town. Wasn't the boss as he is at depositions.
This place is FREAKING ridiculous.
Or start locking the back door?

It doesn't even occur to him to lock it. If his problem can't be solved by booze, then he opts to solve it with a firearm. Go figure, huh?

Seriously, our town used to be pretty decent. Also, we're in and out of the back door all day ... now I guess we should just walk out with guns drawn

Yay for speeding tickets. 80mph in a 65mph zone. This has to be the only time in the past 6 months I've been speeding without having my eyes 50/50 on the road/rearview. I checked the rearview for cops at the last second and thought "That fucker's pacing me!" and let off the gas, then the lights went on. Booo.

How much?

Close friends got me this for my bday: http://www.glenfiddich.us/the-range/12-year-old.html

My bday fun was last weekend in ABQ w/the girl. Last night people drank my beer and at my cake :-\ (ran out of beer before I even got near drunk). Val (ted's ex) came by wearing the skankiest shirt imaginable, thinking some guy was gonna be here that she has a SCHEDULED booty call with (who schedules things like that?). When Ellen & Ted went to Ted's room, Val just stood in the hallway staring at his door. It was sad.

I wish I wasnt here last night.

4 APs ain't shit. I took 1 my sophomore year, 5 my junior year (6 initially, dropped AP Art History) and 4 my senior year. Managed B+s/A-s in all of them with a notch above zero effort. Until second semester senior year. Haha.

What APs? And where are you applying to college?

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: topaz~ on September 09, 2008, 06:20:55 am

Uh

AP Bio
AP USH
AP English
AP Calc BC
Physiology

Bio and APUSH are about two hours worth of reading each, and then maybe two more for assignments on the reading. AP English has been light on work, maybe an hour, two to three if there's a real assignment due. Calc usually runs about two hours, depending on how shitty my instructor is that particular day. Physio is generally an hours worth of work.

I get back from class at 1PM, usually work on academia from 4PM till 2-3AM.

Facebook group: Traded my social life for APs

I'm applying to most of the UCs, UPenn, Cornell, Duke, and some other smaller schools whose names I don't remember. My app fees are a bitch to pay for

about APUSH: taking it because the admins fucked up last year, so I didn't have a history course -- taking gov at the local community college so i can graduate on time.

reading: 17/27 63%
logic: 19/26 73%
games: 15/23 65%
logic: 16/25 64%

That's my performance on first LSAT run down. Hopefully I can improve this second time through (most people do, even if just by a few points)

I need to work on those damned games, and reading quickly but slow enough that I dont have to go back and double check things. Logic is decent, but can improve some.

They don't generally check for it, but they do do random searches if they suspect something is up. And if you get caught smuggling, it's probably more than a possession charge.

They do make you empty your pockets before walking through the metal detector, but if it isn't metal you don't have to pull it out.

I think a bunch of kids going on spring break are the first people they'll search for drugs. :P

Also, I forgot about the fact that you're crossing a border -- that might be a different story, since you have to go through customs. Seems risky.

Only metal, leave it in your pocket or hidden somewhere on your body (not in shoes or jacket, since you need to take those off), and don't take it out when you give them all of your metal before going through the detector.

I'd suggest avoiding bringing drugs, or taking drugs. Also, purchasing drugs at a place where you know a limited amount of people is definitely risky.

Anybody aware of how my friends and I could get some weed down there? Say, if I were to have it in my pocket (hypothetically), would they know? Doesn't the detector thing only scan for metal devices?

What part of "don't do drugs" did you miss in school? The subject? The predicate? Kind of hard to miss a word in a sentence of three words.

I asked because I remembered you were from San Jose and was wondering if you went to a competitive school. Lynbrook is alright, I know some people who went there for high school. Seems like an excessive amount of work for as many AP classes as you're taking.. 4 isn't so many. My senior year, I took 3 and barely had to do any work to get good grades. Of course, my school is not as well rated, but still.

I looked up the thresholds for caffeine overdose on Wikipedia, and apparently an intake of more than 300mg can cause an acute overdose in many (small) people. This is funny... since one grande coffee can account for an acute overdose in probably >20% of people, and one venti coffee in probably >50% of people.

With a grande iced coffee and 4 shots of espresso, you had in excess of 700mg of caffeine ::) That would definitely ruin a person's day.

Yeah. My friend told me "this has about the caffeine of two energy drinks" and handed me one. And I had two. That was horrrrrrrrrrrrrible. ~355 mg/drink iirc.

I couldn't even sleep right. I should be asleep until noon... but I'm up since 6am and I went to bed at 3:30am. :/

EDIT -- What's funny is initially I wanted my drink venti-sized... really, really glad I didn't do that, because he would have stayed consistent.

Is that the one that drips into the cup? The iced coffee with condensed milk that they serve at coffee shops is much better.. neither of which is actually really strong. Cafe su da supposed to be but doesn't really work for me.

yup. and the strength of the coffee depends on if you use fine or coarse grains or how well you compact the coffee. but yeah thats the one where it drips.

Lynbrook is the shittiest school ever. The only reason we are well ranked is because there is a ridiculously high number of chinese/korean/wapanese/indian people here, something like 90%. In my high school career, there have been only 6-7 teachers that were actually decent and taught properly, 6-7 out of 24 classes I've ever taken. If the asians didn't work hard, this school would be terrible. I would rather be at monta vista (which has excellent teachers and excellent courses where you actually learn shit in the classroom) or some school like westmont where everyone is an underachiever.

Yes. Yes. Oh, you probably will get weird looks. It's very rarely called by that so many people don't know, but it is one of it's real slang names. Starbucks Baristas (Or, Coffee Bitch, as Camel called it once), aren't allowed to call things by the slang names. They'd call it as a "Iced Quad Grande Ice Brewed Iced Coffee", or at least they're supposed to; which is the other reason people may not be familiar with what you want.

As I was leaving my riding class this mornin, some lady's car died in front of me. I get out, park my truck, and start to push her through the intersection and up a hill into a bank parking lot. Holy Jesus Christ was that car heavy. One of the 60s? Caddys. Friggin BOAT. My truck *might* weigh more (probably does), but I dont want to find out.

I was having trouble getting it up the hill as it was drizzling so the concrete was slick and I was in my boots. Some other late-20s/early-30s year old dude stopped to help finish the hill. I jumped her car then.

I'm just glad that the cop that drove by didnt stop to help, he might've changed my perception of police.

On the subject of public schools, I wish I had never gone at all. I asked my parents if I could be homeschooled in 9th grade but unfortunately they refused. My school didn't let people take AP classes until Senior year, with the one exception of AP US History Junior year, and so we all had to suffer through a bunch of shitty teaching for the first three years (with just a few exceptions).

In total, pre-collegiate schools have wasted at least 8500 hours of my time. When you look at it bluntly like that, it's really depressing.

Heh, schools are just designed to drill in authoritarian principles (ie, do what you're told without asking questions). They're useful for that purpose. But generally, they're overrun by teachers who feel that they need to assert authority rather than teach, and by students/parents who consider competitive aspects the most important (if you can't compare to others in your class, you're screwed). It's a pretty bad state, I think that the education system everywhere needs a rethink.

leet_muffin, please clarify.

You can't just do away with the public school system. Millions of Americans would go uneducated.

Personally, I think the idea of free, public education is wonderful. I'm just not happy with the implementation.

There are alternatives to providing public education. For example, some cities provide a voucher system where you're given money to be used for private schooling.

Aside from the fact that a large proportion wouldn't use the vouchers, the poor would be left with by far the worst choices. This clearly would be a worse system.

I don't think that's what he's getting at. Although I could be wrong.

Community-level schools might be a step up from the current system, though. Dunno. :)

I think that if you look at on a long enough time line, the poor people will die off, and leave just the people that are going to school to be educated to live. It's a Social Darwinism thing.

Absolutely Pointless is more like it. All of those AP classes just hurt my unweighted GPA since I was in the mindset of "a B in AP = an A in college prep" when in reality that was half-true, and the credits I got don't even go towards classes at UCD. They give me an "earlier registering time" since I'm farther ahead than most of my peers, but since the classes I want are considered "hard" by the masses and nobody picks them, I can pick a perfect schedule regardless of when I go.

And taking a "rigorous schedule" didn't help me out at all in college applications. So ::), whatever.

'course, if I had gotten straight As in all AP... I would have gotten into better schools. But, whatever!

I don't think anyone's going to try to argue that the GIMP is better than Photoshop. I do believe, however, that it's possible to do anything that can be done in Photoshop in the GIMP, though it's a more painful process.

You're a grad student, though, right? My first semester was definitely the most relaxing semester I've ever had. I only took 15 credits because the advisor I was assigned for registration wasn't used to seeing people who were excited to learn and she thought that was a hefty load. I still had enough homework to keep my fairly busy, but now, I have a minimum of 5 hours of hw a day. :(

We're using "Artificial Intelligence - A Modern Approach" by Russell. This is the introductory AI course (i.e. non-graduate level). I think there's a separate course on machine learning and another couple of AI courses after that. The last section of the machine learning course did use that book, it looks like.

take a joke.

If something is a major part of a person's life, chances are they're going to discuss it regularly. Homework may not be a major part of your life, but it's definitely one of mine. In fact, I don't feel like I learn without it. Having an understanding of the material is very different than being able to apply it, especially in a field like math where very little of what's required to do well involves memorization. Homework provides necessary practice for something I'm unfamiliar with.

It might seem silly to you to grow your epeen by showing how much hw you have, but you'll have to realize that I think it's much more silly to do the same by telling everyone how drunk you were last weekend. :P

idk, I think the "point" is obvious. It's to show how dedicated to your studies you are. It's the same reason the "jock-type" person has discussions with his buddies involving how much they can weight lift.

Yeah, I think there's a distinction to be made between the calculus geared toward engineers (AP calculus falls in this category) and calculus for people who aren't motivated by application. While I did like the introductory calculus courses, they didn't feel anything like the math classes I took afterward. I didn't think they were boring at all, but they definitely didn't feel as enriching as other classes I've taken.

I disagree. It depends on whether you're taking AB or BC, and very much on who's teaching it.

I can't say much about the "extremely boring" comment. In the end, interests always come down to preference. Some people might think skydiving is very boring, or would be bored on a trip to the moon. I can't prove that either activity would be exciting. But if you're a thoughtful and creative person, a first exposure to calculus should be quite breathtaking. It's a whole new way of thinking about something you've been taught your entire life. I'd say it forever changes who you are and how you see mathematics. And that changes how you understand and perceive the whole world. After taking calculus I felt more developed as a person, as opposed to just having retained more knowledge.

I don't think they're that serious about those kinds of activities. My friend worked for the government this summer at a place that requires much better behavior/history than the police force and he had a somewhat shady past. As long as you're honest, the things you did weren't too serious and you can show that you're no longer involved with those sorts of things, I doubt they'll care. It's part of being young.

That being said, I respect your decision. I'm not suggesting you go wild -- just saying that the polygraph test probably isn't as scary as you're thinking.

I have been listening to this the last two days. It is most excellent.

Also: polygraph tests are hilarious. A friend bought an old one off ebay, and they are terrible. There is much more accurate technology involving biometrics that can do what a lie detector is really supposed to do.

Also: three page essay about prompt due in 35 minutes:

In order for something to be a polygraph, it literally has to look at multiple signals. It's not a brand or product name; the fact that your friend bought some shit on ebay once doesn't mean that the police have shit for equipment.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYxTzDFofZQ This probably deserves it's own thread, but I don't make threads. Troops stationed in America trained for civil unrest + crowd control: when police and SWAT teams aren't enough for people who aren't even allowed automatic weapons.
riots get out of hand fast have you seen those clips where people come in with motlove cocktails. and all the SWAT has is water cannons. cause lets admit it if cops were to fire live ammunition onto a crowd there would be major media whores coming in and mobbing the place.
That's been tried on several occasions in history, and it seems like people just don't like civilians being mowed down. How strange!

Lesson: don't be in a riot

That's crap. There are perfectly legitimate reasons for people to riot, it's a valid (and extreme) form of protest.

If you seriously think it's ok for the government to gun down unarmed civilians, then you have issues.

the riots i think about are where people thrash though malls destroying, stealing, causing mayhem. so in order to detain the mishaps and possible death the government must step in with less than lethal techniques. thats why the creation of rubber bullets, bean bags, water cannons, tear gas, and tazers are used to disperse crowds not to kill

Riots are when such a huge issue builds up that the only solution people see is taking to the streets and being heard.

Rubber bullets, tear gas, etc are understandable, because you aren't killing anybody. Real bullets and nerve gas, on the other hand, aren't. There's a line between breaking a riot and wholesale slaughter.

Don't become a stereotype... And don't join a frat. It's basically paying for friends, to become their bitch, and for desperate, insecure women.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Says the living, unexperienced, stereotype. The person who only years ago wasn't even sure he was "comfortable" with the idea his girlfriend initiated hand-holding.

A lot changes in four years time. In regards to the fraternity, you aren't paying for your friends...your dues go towards your social calendar. I don't think all schools have a Greek system like mine (for instance, it's frowned upon here to wear letter shirts, fraternity houses are about a three minute walk from dormitories, etc.), but here most of our dues goes to bands on the weekends. It's a small school and usually several fraternities will have a band Saturday afternoon or night after a football game, and everyone is allowed to come down not just people in fraternities.

Take for example this weekend, it's parents weekend. We're spending $200 on a full pig to roast at our tailgate, not to mention bottled water, sodas, chips, sides (potato salad, coleslaw, etc.) another $200 on wine and beer for parents, and somewhere around $1000 for a Motown band to play after the football game for four hours. Our dues are $1300, so one person is basically paying for this entire weekend. Factor in the amount you have to pay nationals (I don't know the exact figure, but I think it's around $10,000 for us), the house next to ours pays $24,000. Then you have money you have to pay to the school. Then you have money you have to pay for rush events during the week (chips, pizzas, beer for Monday Night Football or other things). Then house-related purchases (I'm the historian and just spent $300 on new picture frames). Speakers for the party bunker. Ritual materials, dry cleaning for robes, etc. Trust me, the money goes to much more than just paying for friends. At least at my campus, fraternities provide pretty much all of the weekend social entertainment on campus.

To my knowledge you weren't in a fraternity so you don't even know the half of it.

I don't exactly agree with what you said here, but I think fraternities have their merit. They're great for networking from what I've seen. One of the guys I worked with over the summer didn't even apply for the job. A Lockheed Martin recruiter who was "in" with his fraternity knew him and asked him to come in for an interview.

Regardless, though, I haven't encountered a fraternity that I'd want to be a part of. I know that a lot of people have fun with that kind of stuff, and I trust that I would too, but I refuse to have fun at the expense of any non-negligible part of my education. It seems that this lifestyle involves at least a small sacrifice of the quality of my education, which I'm not willing to make.

In defense to this, fraternities require a minimum GPA to a) join and b) remain active. The all-Greek GPA on my campus is above the all-men's average. My fraternity has the second highest GPA out of the 10 social fraternities on campus. During pledging (we pledge for a semester) the school requires that all pledges have a three hour study hall every night from 7-10pm (except on the weekend). While the stereotype would have you believe that there is nothing but drinking, drugs, girls, parties, etc. involved in fraternity life...that is just not the case. If it were, so many corporate and political leaders would not be fraternity men.

the average gpa is meaningless to me. I spend a lot more than 3 hours a night on homework. My academic expectations and habits are significantly higher and more involved than the average college student.

"ritual materials" is what made me laugh.

I don't know if you read my last post, but I'd like to elaborate anyway. I wrote the post on my iPod before class, so I didn't have the motivation to make a good argument.

While a fraternity having a high average GPA is a good thing, it isn't very meaningful in terms of academic rigor. What are the members' majors? A high GPA in a liberal arts major is usually much easier to obtain than it is in an engineering or natural sciences major. What kind of courses do they take? Are they the ones known to usually result in "easy As" or do they take more challenging courses because the topic interests them?

I kind of feel like dwelling on the argument "Fraternities have high average GPAs, therefore they are academically involved" isn't useful. It might be useful in the general case where a person is just worried that all fraternities do is party, drink, etc, but that is not my concern. There are academic fraternities and I never believed this was the case. I do believe, however, that being as involved as you or many other fraternity members have been would cause my academic performance to suffer and this is exactly why I'm not interested in joining one.

I'm not trying to make a general argument. I'm saying I'd never want to join a fraternity, not no one should ever join a fraternity.

I understand completely where you're coming from, and it's true that fraternity life isn't for everyone. I'm offended by Rule's posts, not yours...but I'll respond anyway. Keep in mind that greek life varies from school to school, and from region to region. I am certain that I would not be interested in joining a fraternity outside of the Southeast, it's just a different way of fraternity life than the northern or western regions. (i.e. complete douchebags with gelled hair, steroid arms, and fraternity letter shirts)

One common thing though that breaks regional boundaries is that fraternity men are some of the most active and well rounded on campus. On my campus it is especially true. In the case of my own fraternity, out of 31 brothers and pledges we have several people on the volunteer fire department, a couple student senators, athletes (baseball, golf, cross country), President's Men (a handpicked group of students that represent the school at on and off campus social gatherings and galas, etc.), some from this hand-selected leadership society on campus, several people on the Student Admissions Committee (myself included, and it's a significant honor to be selected for it), one guy is in ROTC, another leads a Bible study each week, and one of our alumni from last year is now a dean of the school. I'm sure I've missed some positions, but I'm sure you get the idea. In regards to majors, I go to a small private (but still tier 1) liberal arts college. The two most popular majors on campus are Political Science and Economics (it's a school that sends kids to law and business school basically) so that's what most people study. There is a Science fraternity Alpha Chi Sigma which is only for Science majors, and they have the highest GPA but aren't considered a social fraternity (yet they still have a fraternity house and hold just as many parties as social fraternities). Not to mention my own involvement in detail, but I'm involved in several things around campus yet still (at least so far) am on top of homework and making good grades. In addition to school work and my other commitments, I'm still able to drink and mess around with my brothers on the weekends and sometimes during the week (I live in the fraternity house).

What I'm getting at is that fraternity men are men of several talents. On the weekend I like to go to a band party that either my house or another is throwing, drink, and dance with girls. It's a good way to relax on Friday and Saturday nights and not worry about Sunday-Thursday. Sure, my academic schedule and major may not be as hard as yours but I'm able to do things with my time other than school work. We get our stuff done, and it's unfair for rule to blindly stereotype a group that he knows nothing about.

In addition to that he also holds an officer position in the fraternity, is on the varsity cross-country team, is on the Student Admissions Committee (we actually have the same tour time), is the president of the society for the preservation of southern heritage, is on the men's chorus, chairman of Good Men Good Citizens, and is in a few other things like our ducks unlimited club and the pre-health society.

1337 days until I graduate. I don't know whether to be happy or not about that :P

I think the fact that you figured that out says a lot about your school. lols.

We already have to know the amount of days until like 5 different dates this year, so someone plugged in our grad year to a countdown thing we use... :P

k, so:

I lost my phone (Which my parents originally purchased for me years ago, as I had no desire to have a phone, much less spend money on one).
I said: Oh well, give it a few days, it may turn up.
My mom then took it upon herself to see if any calls had been made, find out one call had been made, and therefore disconnect service to that number.
I saw that this really didn't solve the problem at all, but rather simply made it more difficult to get my phone back.
I find out who had been called, and called them, getting nothing the first day.
My parents tell me I will be paying for a new phone. I tell them I have no desire to get a new phone, much less spend money on one.
My dad goes out and buys me a phone while I'm in a class.
I return home to find a new phone (shittier than my old shitty one), and a 50$ bill.
I'm forced to pay for it.
I try the number previously mentioned, and the guy has my phone. I meet him, give him 10$ 'cause I thought it was a good move on his part, and because I figured I'll get money back on the phone I don't want which I was forced to pay for.
My dad refuses to give me any money back or to allow me to return the phone he bought me.

tl;dr (in question form): Should I be able to return a phone to a phone company one day after purchase and receive nearly the amount of money spent on it in return?

That sucks, muffin. imo, yes, but it's never a bad idea to have a backup. I hardly used my cell phone when I was in high school, but it's a much different story now. The thing isn't attached to my hip or anything, but it's massively convenient for calling friends to see what they're up to (few of them have landlines), make study/fun plans, call parents, etc. It's even more vital that I have one during the time I'm applying for jobs.

Nope. I paid the guy who found it laying on the ground and told me that he had it. Pretty cool guy.

Also, update:
I took it down to AT&T, and asked if I could get any money back, they said no. I said "lol, wut" and they explained. Since it was a 50$ phone, and there's a 35$ restocking fee, and it was an upgrade, I should actually owe them money for returning it, but they would be willing to take it for free. I lol'd, told them I'm perfectly willing to take it outside and crush it (not sure if this was a bluff or not, I do have a baseball bat in my trunk for such occasions). And I followed that with a little raging. Then they let me give it back with only the restocking fee tacked on. So I got 15$ back. Which... when you count the guy who got me my old phone back... I got 5$ back. Oh well, I like my old phone a good deal better (no camera, very durable, full of win, text messaging inbox with 33 texts from towelie saying "lol"), and only wasted 55$ (Which in combination with my gambling debts comes to an even total of 100$).

While there would probably be a placebo effect I doubt it would be anywhere near the true affects of alcohol. Plus when people did find out they'd be pissed. In the end it's a bad idea that would result in a less-than-fun night, mad people, and a waste of money.

Apparently many of you have never gone to a college party. Who shows up sober anyway? Sure, the placebo effect is real, but your results would probably be skewed by the fact that half the people would be drinking before they got there anyway.

It's pretty hypothetical... not many people try to pass off non-alcoholic beer as alcoholic, either. It would be easy to fix the situation so that people came sober.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: truste1 on September 29, 2008, 08:44:19 pm

Yeah nobody shows up to a party sober. I know last year we'd start drinking like 3 hours before the fraternity parties started (bands usually start at 10). Now that I live in the house I start a little later since I can just go up to my room and get more alcohol, or if we have house alcohol I can get that.

(except game days when I start around noon)

edit: bands usually start at 10, on game days a lot of houses will also have an afternoon band which starts when the football game ends (4pm)

Yeah it was fun. $5 buy in so pretty low stakes, I lost on the first table and bought back in later in the night so I lost $10 total. Last night was the first time we did it (it was a rush event) but we had a lot of fun so we're making it a weekly thing at our house.

You win big, you lose big. You need consistency, and to have consistency, you need a good money supply + better players. People in casinos generally have nothing to lose and will bet big on stupid cards, meaning that you'll be winning big, but then you'll get enough assfuckery the longer you player.

lololol @ u.

I got a bid (basically) to join a frat, but when asked about it I said I'd probably defer (as I'm not "ready" (and probably won't ever be) to join a frat) and so they said they'd "try" to get me a bid so I could skip rush spring quarter, but I'm pretty sure that got rid of my bid altogether. So no pressure about joining one now!

I was just looking for a place to chill, and I'm not 100% down with paying to hang out there. :P

EDIT -- just got a call being invited to bid dinner, even if I'm just gonna defer, so whatever, guess I'm gonna go get some free grub and meet more of them!

I had my first real job interview today. Wow... it was incredibly strange. I had to answer four questions. One was on learning a new skill and challenges associated. Another was on accomplishing a goal. The last two were on group work (one on conflict and how you resolved it and the other on communicating with a new group of people). It was so fucked up. I haven't done that much in my life, and I had a tough time coming up with good examples. I did fine here (I think).

Then, I had to pick one of four topics and just start talking about it. I fucked up here hardcore. Oh well, if I don't get the internship, Shell wasn't for me, and I'll just crawl back into my hole and do research next summer.... again. :-\

It sounds like that was just an HR interview, then? I've had a fair number of interviews and they all start out with some sort of "preliminary interview" which usually involves little beyond HR questions. I'm sure it's important to show that you have good work ethic, work well with others, etc, (ie, tell them what they want to hear), but all of the other interviews I've had have a "followup" interview where they just drill you with technical questions. Most of those last 2+ hours where you're sitting down with some combination of managers and engineers asking you questions.

I'm not sure exactly how it works, but if you feel like you impressed the person you interviewed even slightly, I bet you'll get called back for another interview. Don't sweat it if this doesn't happen. It was your first interview and it's hard to know what to expect. Hope you get the job, man!

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: iago on October 04, 2008, 09:54:58 am

Before interviews, you should review the most common "tell me about a time when you..." questions, and come up with good answers. When you answer them, ALWAYS follow the STAR approach (Situatino, Task, Action, Result). The most important part is result -- you can tell a great story, but if you don't tell them how it ended up saving the company money, or how ie ended up saving your relationship with your boss, or whatever, it's far less compelling.

Also, there's nothing technically wrong with making up answers to those questions, technically. It's probably immoral, but eh?

I mean, if you make up a good story (or embellish a real one), you'll almost certainly gain an advantage over saying, "uhh, that never happened to me".

(I'm not saying it's morally justifiable, it's part of the problem (in my mind) with competition in general, the idea that good guys finish last :) )

No, this is the interview that determines if I get the job or not. It was an actual engineer giving me the interview, and he didn't want any technical information at all. This is because it was just for an internship. If it was a full time job, I'd have to go for a day or a week at a bootcamp thing and work with others on a project.

That's lame. The interviews I've had are all for internships too and they all ask very technical questions. There have been a few where the majority of the content of the discussion is me talking about projects I've worked on (ones I put on my resume), but they still ask "are you familiar with xyz?". Seems kinda lame that they wouldn't ask you technical questions!

Even if she was in a sorority, which probably meant she was hot. :P

I ended up getting a 99.5% because I didn't know how it wanted interval notation: (#,#) or [#,#] and it didn't specify an open or closed interval...

Title: Re: Let's hear it!

I'm guessing nobody knows how closed/open intervals work. The only reason I do is because Rule taught it to me a year or so ago before I took the AP test.

And it was open, which was assumable, because AT points A and B the particle doesn't have a positive OR negative velocity (on a graph of velocity)... oh well. It gave me one try and I shot for closed intervals since that was the theme of the homework!

But, if you take that 10,000, subtract those who he thinks are too ugly for him, and then subtract from that those who would go out with him, you aren't left with many.

I can text her tomorrow to see if she responds, although I'm too busy to actually do anything with her (class from 11-1, 2-6) so eh?

No you aren't, you can do something with her after 6. You go to the same school, eat with her at dinner or something. Ask if she wants to go to a party with you this weekend. The longer you wait to text or call her the worse off you are because you look uninterested and/or nervous.

Don't worry about it. I've hit on girls while drunk that I would never hit on while sober. This one girl I hooked up with last semester I thought was like incredibly attractive, and while she's still cute there's no way I'd want to have sex with her sober. That stuff happens, you just have to brush it off and stop thinking if people are going to laugh at you over it. Most likely if they're laughing at you for getting with some ugly girl it's probably because they didn't get with anyone.

Then...

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've know each other for so long
Your heart's been aching
But you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

(Ooohh give you up)
(Ooohh give you up)
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, (give you up)
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, (give you up)

Well, the problem is, for something to go moldy there has to be something that mold/etc wants to eat. McDonalds food is so devoid of nutritional value that even the mold stays away. :)

Homecoming weekend, had the Wailers and another guy here last night for our concert. Football today, afternoon concert, parties tonight. It's alumni weekend so a ton of alums are here, I might update this later depending on how today goes.

No, because a few people didn't know their rates (shit we have to know: 3 newspaper articles/day, 3 menus in advance (they are pretty big), and a few other things) after we got back from our 3day weekend.

Yes, http://www.votesmart.org. Look up whoever you want and they should have taken a political allegiance test, which shows their personal opinion on things. Voting records for senators/representatives are on the respective Congressional website.

Yeah, I agree. I'm only at class from 9-3 on MWF, 10-2 on TR. I usually come home right after class and work on homework for a while. I usually have enough time to relax and do what I want for a few hours a day and that's absolutely necessary for me to keep my morale up. This is definitely the busiest semester I've had, too. I neglect the majority of the reading assignments I get, which cuts down significantly on the amount of time I need to spend doing schoolwork, but the assignments I get are massively more challenging than the ones I've gotten in previous semesters, which felt more like busywork than something that actually extended my understanding of the subject.

Nonsense.

It's true. At the school I go to, everyone gets a lot of work, but I've found that the people with more work often get more sleep. It's all about work habits. If you spend a lot of time surfing the web, etc., and do it while you do homework, then you 1) waste time in which you could be doing homework and 2) do homework ineffectively when you're doing the two simultaneously.

Also, if you get like less than four hours sleep one day, you will be screwing yourself the next day. You will probably binge on chilling and napping or sleeping the next day, and also you won't be able to do your work very fast and efficiently.

It's always best to socialize in school and not the internet because in school you're not doing work there anyways (like at lunch or in between classes) so you can get your social needs out when you wouldn't be doing work. In other words you're not wasting productive time. But if you socialize on the internet then you are wasting productive time.

It's an extremely healthy work habit to put real life in a clear first place, and with a wide margin, ahead of the internet (forums, video games, etc.) In fact, athletes and people who work out often make very good students when they're intellectually inclined.

Yeah, my average home arrival time spans anywhere from 10:30-11PM. My schedule has huge gaps in it every day, and then I have night classes/night labs and I do public transport. So, like I said, I envy the guy that gets more than 5 hours of sleep a night. I'm barely even home 5 hours in a day.

That's not good, not at all. So you're saying you're not even home 5 hours a day... that means that technically (i.e. mathematically) speaking it's impossible for you to get more than 5 hours of sleep in your own bed, every weekday? Your parents let you do that? You should reconsider your schedule. Cut the night classes and night labs. Get home earlier. If it means you won't graduate from some program at your university, who cares. You have plenty of time to go to college.

Well, I might be home 5 hours a day (1AM to 6AM, for example), but that doesn't mean that I'm in bed during those times.. And yeah, my parents don't have a choice. Nor do I. The majority of why I have such a fucked up schedule is because of my required courses to graduate HIGH school. There's no way in HELL I'm going back to high school after having had college, so that's not even a viable option anymore. And I actually like not being home..

College is definitely way better, but high school isn't a steaming pile of shit like you make it out to be. No offense, but I think you're being elitist.

If I were in your position, and I had to choose between your schedule or high school, I'd choose high school without a moment's hesitation. I wouldn't resign myself to that kind of relentless sleep deprivation for university classes, when I'd be taking them a year or two later anyways. I often go nights where I don't get a lot of sleep, and sometimes I get none at all, but it's not like a 5-day-a-week 30-weeks-a-year kind of thing. Also, high school affords a pretty good social life.

Ironically, it seems like your atheism is taking you full circle back to Christian morality and the ascetic ideal.

I'm not making it out to be a steaming pile of shit. I'm just saying that my particular high school is not just up to par with what I want. I know people that have taken the AP courses, and I've had to help them with their work because the teacher just straight up blows and the text sucks. I'd much rather get my tenured professors with nice textbooks. Granted, I'm generalizing, but for the most part my high school teachers have been more headaches than they have been helpful.
Not to mention, a LOT of AP courses is just bullshit coursework (e.g. do these worksheets that offer you no real insight, but just waste your time and significantly increase your workload). Yeah, college has bullshit coursework, but it's not required (and if so, usually not a large portion of the grade). My chem classes at the U (Freshmen chemistry 1 & 2) both had 'optional' problem sets [most of which I did to ensure that I knew how to do the problems] but at the end of the day, nobody gave a damn if I did it. In some instances, I was better off NOT doing them. At high school? My friends in AP Chem had to spend hours a night doing stupid problem sets because they were required to by the teacher.

Also, high school affords a pretty good social life.

Yeah, I will admit that taken all of the night classes that I'm taking right now was a mistake in some senses. But in others, it's really quite good. Because of this night hell, I've developed a work ethic. My friends have remarked how I'm always doing work nowadays because I always come, steal one of their laptops, and go and write papers and do other work. You would seldom have seen me doing work last school year, and even less in high school. Plus, the having ridiculous hours has actually helped my social life. Since I commute, it's a whole different ballgame, as partying/drinking is out of the question (drinking and driving is fucking retarded). So I learned how to maintain friendships and hang out with people during the daytime, as nights/weekends are just way too busy for me. I see so many different friends and do different activites in addition to my homework that I just would not have done.
As for socializing in high school: that's all fine and dandy, except I had maybe four people I'd actually say were my friends at high school--and they're all gone, now. My high school kids and I just don't get along. They don't hate me anymore, and I don't hate them anymore, but we'd never be buddy buddy. At most, sticking around my high school would have resulted in me getting one or two more of them as friends. But had I stuck around and never gone to college, I would have never met my ex and my group of friends now, would never have learned life skills (socializing, responsibility in work/school, etc), and would probably be worse off than I am now. When I leave home for college (I'm not staying at home regardless of where I go to college), I know that I'll be ready for most anything that gets thrown at me because of the experiences I've had. Well, except food..I can't coook. :P

Pft... if you won't say it deadly, I will. High school was a steaming pile of shit. If I had had a chance to go to college early, I would have taken it. The only regret would have been missing out on the last few years with my high school buddies, but in the end, we've all gone our separate ways. Leaving for college early would have just accelerated the process.

My high school, for all intents and purposes, was a diploma factory. It was a place to keep teenagers out of trouble for seven hours a day. No one fails, and learning and intellectual challenge were almost foreign concepts. The teachers didn't really care to teach (save for two, and both quit while I was there).

My high school, for all intents and purposes, was a diploma factory. It was a place to keep teenagers out of trouble for seven hours a day. No one fails, and learning and intellectual challenge were almost foreign concepts. The teachers didn't really care to teach (save for two, and both quit while I was there).

I agree, most of high school was pretty pathetic. But some of the good times I had there are just unforgettable. Some of my teachers were so fun, great people. Overall it was a joke, which it was made it so fun. What's wrong with having a good time while you learn? Nothing. <3ed Grade 12

Random thing: I didn't vote.

I liked high school. I had a lot better teachers in high school so far, and AP classes were lightyears harder than most of my current courses.

Maybe I just went to a good high school? I dunno..

I found out three things today!

1. I do have to take chemistry... that stupid academic advising bitch told me otherwise so I am wasting a quarter not moving towards graduation. Fuck her.
2. I am required to take a compsci class. And I glanced over my friend's midterm, and it was a joke. :-D!!!!!!
3. My calculus midterm tomorrow is gonna be a mix of easy and hard... I dunno yet. I took the practice midterm and knew how to do a majority of it, but at the same time, a lot of it was based on an extensive knowledge of trigonometric identities, algebraic simplification, etc.. so I could get screwed. :(

You can usually test out of classes with the department's consent. It's silly to take the class if you already understand the material. Test out of it an take a more interesting class -- I guarantee you that there are computer science courses where you'll be learning all semester. The introductory courses are usually a mixture of introduction to programming (OO principles, etc) and discrete math. I'm sure you've been exposed amply to both, especially the former. Don't waste your time.

I ended up taking the intro CS course offered here. It was supposed to be half-and-half discrete math and intro programming, but both ended up being a pretty big waste of my time. I didn't ever study, it took me 10 minutes to do the homework assignments that took most of my peers hours, and I finished the tests in less than half the allotted time. I really wish I would have just tested out of it and took the next course, which was much more rewarding.

It's probably not fair to judge based off one semester. Get into the 200-300 level classes and you'll probably be thinking differently. My first two semesters were about as challenging as high school (with the exception of research endeavors, which were significantly more involved), but my last three (including this one), have been immeasurably more enriching.

1. Keep your hands to yourself
2. You must open your eyes at least every thirty seconds, and you must keep them open at least thirty seconds at a time.
3. No making fun of larger or smaller penises
4. Bring your own tissues for cleanup.
5. If you bring pornography, then you must share it.
6. You cannot fantasize about the girlfriends of the boys standing next to you, but can fantasize about the girlfriends of every other boy in the circle.
7. You can fantasize about any of the boys in the circle jerk, but not if they are standing next to you.
8. An official circle jerk contains 7 boys.
9. If fewer than seven boys want to jerk off together, they must stand in a single file, and it shall be known as a firing line.

I'm pretty sure little mistakes will add up to a huge deficit on my midterm. I never really wanted to remember how to derive sin²(x) but he put it on there no less than three times across six problems.. I managed it once at least.

I guess I'll see. Whenever I feel I did poorly I do really well. But this time I'm pretty sure I did poorly. I accidentally anti-derived a^x as a^x / ln|x| instead of ln|a|.. etc.

What a night.

So I was going to go to a party with a couple friends, and out of the three of us I was the only one actually invited. Somehow I got roped in to DDing (planned backfired when I picked up the person I thought I could get to do it and he was already drunk.) Well anyway, one of my friends decides his 35 year old uncle is chill enough to bring to a party with 18-20 year olds. It's kind of weird but it's also not in some weird way, until he gets too drunk. On the ride home he ends up running away from my car at a stop light to chase some random girl on the street (when we were riding by the ghetto.) We keep going, decide to go get him a few minutes later but he doesn't want to go/slash we can't find him so we start heading home. Then he calls (which he doesn't remember doing) for us to come get him and we go back and he is in some restaurant in the ghetto where he is the only white person in there hitting on some girl (who my friend that went in to go to the bathroom slash get him said was clearly not interested.) So when we finally get him and he gets home he tells me how I've had it out for him all night and it's time for us to go, and he starts like pushing me while I'm in my car trying to fight me. It was ridiculous and his nephew ended up having to push him on the ground and restrain him while I left.

I think his gripe is more objective than that. These sorts of classes should never be about regurgitating information. They should test how deep your understanding of the material is. This precludes exams filled with questions that have been answered directly or follow directly from definitions or results produced in class.

I've been very impressed with my AI professor in this respect. Our midterm was almost entirely problems that had never been mentioned in class, but they were directly related to the material. The exam was a very accurate measure of how well students understood material. This is how exams in classes that aren't all about memorization of facts or procedures should be.

Pre-calc is a LOT different than calculus. Pre-calculus is designed to introduce you to the algebra tricks and some of the really basic concepts (e.g., limits) that are used heavily in calculus, but it really has a much, much different flavor to it, I think.

I was walking around today with a friend and somebody sitting on a bench in the middle of the campus asked "Hey man, where's the bud?" and I lol'd. I think that's the third time someone's tried to buy weed off me... I think it's the hair.

One of my favourite parts has been the strong interconnection between the movies. Like, almost every major character in Saw 2 appears again in either Saw 3 or Saw 4, usually in the background or unidentified. The main characters from Saw 1 are mentioned and often shown in every movie after. Every movie builds on the one before it, with characters and plot, and it's clear that they've thought through this from the beginning, and have left hints in every movie about the next.

I can make a list of unexplained items from Saw 3 and Saw 4 that are likely going to be explained in other movies, but you can probably find better lists online. One is the key that Amanda wears around her neck. Then there's the envelope that John tells her to open, but that they never reveal. And there are tons more. :) Something related is at the end of Saw 3, when John is talking to the female doctor (I forget her name), you can see him non-chalently pouring candle wax on a tape that says "play me". You find out in Saw 4 that John had swallowed the tape, because they found it during his autopsy.

These elements that bind the movies together are, in my opinion, amazingly cool! :)

Failed my first physics midterm. Pretty miserably. I don't even have the results and I know I failed it miserably.

Talking to a lot of the kids in the class, they think they failed it too. Suddenly it makes sense why he curves top 30% of the class at the end to an 'A' no matter what your percent.

Maybe physics isn't for me? Maybe the honors class isn't for me? :/

I don't know man. Give it a chance. I definitely felt like had a better grasp on things after two semesters of physics. I think going back after I've had all of the math courses I've had now would make them way easier too. Maybe finish calculus and then take modern physics or something?

"Failing" an exam is all relative. You might have gotten a 30% on that, but if he curves that to a B, who cares? (Yes, my physics class was like this).

It wasn't anything hard, either. It was mixing concepts. He doesn't give numbers, he uses letters so we solve symbolically.

An example problem, probably the only one I got more than half credit on:

Quote

You have a marble of mass m and radius r with initial velocity v rolling without slipping. It rolls into a loop of radius R and at the top of the loop, it has half of its initial velocity. What is its starting speed, assuming the inertia of the marble is I = 2/5mr²?

The hardest one, which I had like less than half a clue on how to do:

Quote

You have two planets, one of mass m and one of mass 2m, both with radius R, with a center-to-center distance of R_i (and R_i > 2R), which are gravitationally attracted towards each other. Right before they collide, what is the velocity for each planet?

It pretty much killed me, even if it does look easy at first. I almost feel dumb for not being able to solve it, especially when he gave us formulas.

I'm half and half for just switching to computer science and/or math for a major... but my dad bitched me out for wanting to quit after one midterm. I'm not super excited about being bitched at for poor performance, though, and if I can't get the hang of physics then I would rather take the easy A and shut up the whining.

Quote from: zorm on October 27, 2008, 07:40:56 pm

It still means that I "understood" (technically) 30% of the material covered, which would mean that as exams become more cumulative, I would only do worse.

The obvious question is: are you studying enough? spending enough time on your problem sets?

Also, wait to see how he curves it before you start to worry.

No, and that's because the problems he assigns are simple. And he doesn't assign many problems. Weekly homework takes up a couple of hours and it's only 4-5 problems a piece, and daily homework is usually just one simple assignment out of the book to check if we've read.

I should start studying and applying it more, though. :/

And his "curve" goes like this:

At the end of the quarter, top 30% of the class automatically get an A. Middle 40% get a B. Following 20% get a C, and "exceptionally poor performance" gets a D/F. With a "high pass" on lab/discussion portion of the class, it tags a + onto your grade (I'm currently headed towards a high pass). A low pass = a -. So, what I'm hoping for is to hit that middle 40% or top 30% by the end of the year with a high pass. I'm OK with a B+... I'm not OK with a C of any kind. :/

So I doubt he'll curve individual grades on midterms and such.

Found out who I'm taking to our winter ball today. Pretty excited for that. I'm flying to NYC to meet her next week. (This story is not as sketchy as it sounds.)

If you care, story:
Was down at my friends house this summer and met one of his friends who goes to school in New York. She said one of her friends who she went to school with (and also a model) would like me, I saw her on Facebook and definitely liked her. I found out today my friend was taking his friend (first girl) to the ball, and I talked to her and she's bringing the other girl for me. Of course if I like her I'll legitimately ask her while I'm up there. I decided I didn't want a blind date and that we should fly to New York for the weekend and I can decide if I actually want to take her or not. If it doesn't work out then at least I get a weekend in the city since right now I'm in the middle of nowhere at school.

As a couple of you might know, I switched to the dark side a month or so ago and finally bought myself a PC. Well. Made my boyfriend buy me a PC. Hurr, hurr.

Anyways, I still have to use my Mac all the time for photoshop/wireless bluetooth tablet... Which isn't ideal. Easy fix on the bluetooth part, just need to buy a USB hookup... But since my Photoshop was ninja'd from my old High School's computer system, that's a little hard to just buy another copy.

So. Either someone needs to buy me a copy of PS, or teach me some leet pirating skills since I'm a nub and haven't pirated anything other than music. I don't like pirating, but the program is so ridiculously fucking expensive, I'm not chocking it up and selling a liver just to be able to draw. :P

Thus. Someone find me a copy of PS, tell me the program to download, and finish corrupting me. ::)

45/50 on second psychology midterm... but he dropped 3 questions, so I add 3 points to my total, so 48/50 again. :) 96% average over two midterms, woohoo!

Hmm. Well, that midterm I thought I failed I didn't fail. I got an 84/100. Everyone did so well, in fact, the curve screwed a ton of kids, since an A = 95-100, and a B = 82-94. Lowest grade was barely outside a 60%. :O

Wow, that's a pretty good average. Seems like the curve is a bit unfair, though. I've always thought curves should help, but never hurt the normal letter grade assignment.

Agreed, my opinion regarding the use of curves is that they should be primarily a tool for the teacher to gauge his effectiveness. When test scores are too low, curving the grade up makes up for the teacher making the test too hard or not teaching the material effectively enough (taking into account considerations such as a split-bell or otherwise unusual curve). When the teacher has made a test too easy, resulting in test scores that are too high, it should be a signal for the teacher to adjust his test creation and/or to cover material at a more aggressive pace, not to punish students that did well but not as well as others.

I have never heard of any of the professors at Oklahoma doing anything like that. Infact in most of my classes it is specifically stated that the curve is only done to help students and 90%+ is a guaranteed A. I have seen this for classes from different departments so I suspect it is a university wide deal.

I often find it interesting how policies like this can vary from place to place. It really makes you wonder what it actually means when someone says they have X.XX GPA...

Craziest shit went down tonight.

Initially, the plan was to sleep in and rest. So I played some Fallout 3 until about ~1am. I'm still wide awake so I take some vicodin to mellow me out in hopes of falling asleep. That fails. FriendA calls me. FriendA wants booze, and I have a little bit of a handle left, so I tell him to come by. I give him the handle, he tells me they're down the hall hanging out. So, I go and hang out with them. FriendA has an acquaintance, BitchA, from high school, and there are three other miscellaneous friends in the room. FriendA and BitchA get plastered.

2am or so: a knock on the door. We invited another friend, so we assume it's him. We open the door. It's the police. They ask to see FriendA. FriendA steps out, and we hide the booze in the meantime, assuming that we're all gonna get citations for underage drinking/minor in possession. We sit and wait, and a knock follows. FriendA asks for his phone. We give him his phone, and he steps back out. We're all really confused now, so we wait some more. Another knock five minutes later. They ask to see BitchA. At this point, I leave to go to my room, as I figure they're gonna filter people out of the room one by one. Awkwardly enough the police don't stop me from leaving. Once I'm out of sight I sprint into my room, opening up the door to the stairs as a distraction. I am getting into bed when I hear the police, and I decide to eavesdrop. Points I picked out were:

"Look, here's the situation: we can have her come out, ID you, and you can go to jail."
"....*garble* terrorizing her, we know it was you....*noise*"

And finally as they're leaving,

"...we're gonna call phone companies and get records and all that good stuff and if we find out you did it, in addition to be charged with the crime you'll be in trouble for lying to us: that's a one way ticket out of UC Davis. Sober up, give us a call tomorrow if you have any information. Have a good night."

I wait a bit and run down the hall to his room to see what happened. He's not there. BitchA is, though. I ask BitchA what they talked to her about and she said something to the tune of "I don't remember." She's a stupid drunk slut who won't help me out with my need to know what happened. So I am heading back to my room when I find him in another room.

Here's what went down:

Apparently, he prank called our resident adviser and spooked her so much, she called the police. Magically. He was drunk at a frat party, doesn't know her number, and somehow managed to pull this off. They talked to BitchA apparently to see if he was going to rape her. They wrote both BitchA and FriendA citations for underage drinking (you know, because it's cool cops can come for one reason and bust you for an entirely different reason) and left. Well, this didn't sit well with FriendA. As it turns out, FriendA took ecstasy earlier that night, in addition to drinking probably a quarter of a handle in the short time frame we were hanging out for. So he loses control of his emotions and starts panicking. BitchA can't walk home now, because it's over a mile away, so we walk her down the hall to another friend (FriendB, a girl on the floor) that might be able to help out. FriendB agrees to help out. FriendB never agreed to have BitchA pass out in her bed and start puking though, so FriendB gets really upset. FriendB had friends over who start hooking up, and FriendB loses it. She leaves her room and goes downstairs.

The last few hours have involved dealing with a drunk bitch and a drunken friend, trying to calm them down, while simultaneously explaining to every person on the floor (that woke up because of the commotion) what happened without stirring up drunken friend's emotions. He's currently in the study lounge watching It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia to calm him down, along with FriendB, who's still angry.

Sorry if that really didn't make sense. I'm sleep deprived. The one night I decide to stay in turns out to be awesome. :D

And I got to clean a trash can full of puke, which wasn't cool either. But apparently I'm the only person man enough to deal with the smell of puke to help a bad situation.

A friend's Facebook status update sums it up (he lives on the floor below me):

"Ivan is why the fuck are there cops on floor 3?"

Just had the worst flight ever. I ended up missing all my connections, resulting in having to take two extra stops and spend $200 on another ticket because one airline wouldn't switch my ticket all because of my first delay -- a delay caused because someone (probably someone really fat or with serious digestion issues) caused something very stinky on the plane (I assume either a fart they couldn't get rid of, or some sort of issue with the toilet on the plane) and they didn't want us flying on that plane because they didn't think we could tolerate the smell.

I almost got trapped in Vancouver because of them. I am very lucky to have encountered a very, very helpful guy that did everything short of carry me through customs, baggage, security, and to my plane -- which he called for them to stop, it was just about to roll away and take off. (He even carried my purse!) But, through it all I lost two bags of luggage that carry all the decent clothes I own...

I am Not In A Good Mood. AGH.

The smashing was canceled (until tomorrow) due to "technical difficulties" (probably the 20000 people rushing the pinata every 20 minutes).

lols, chem labs are fun. I have an asian TA who's been in America and speaking English for one year.

Some frat kids spilled sucrose and he told them to clean it up with a paper towel, but by the laws of engrish, it came out "paper tower" so they made a paper tower, and put it on top of the mess. He kept saying "paper tower" and eventually went and got a paper towel, pointed at it and said "paper tower!" and they responded "That's a pretty shitty tower dude. You put no effort into that, you just grabbed it. Give it here, we'll fix it up." It went on for a few minutes and actually ended up with them taking him to a frat party. Apparently he got drunk and yelled paper tower and left.

How bad it really is depends partly on the commute. It was about 1 - 1.5 hours on the bus to get to my university, so An 8:00 class meant leaving between 6 and 6:30 (factoring in the walk to/from the bus).

I wasn't trying to criticize... more along the lines of "I wish I could only have that to worry about in the morning"

yeah 8 am classes are not as bad as what towelie has to go through. i do 8am classes everyday, not bad at all.
but dude yesterday we were suppose to turn our clocks back and my phone is suppose to do it automatically but i guess it didnt so when i woke up at 6:00 to go to work it was actually 5:00 :P
How bad it really is depends partly on the commute. It was about 1 - 1.5 hours on the bus to get to my university, so An 8:00 class meant leaving between 6 and 6:30 (factoring in the walk to/from the bus).

It's a 5 minute walk to my class and I'm definitely late to my 9:30 more often than not. Nothing earlier than 10 o'clocks next semester, that's for sure.

My building is pretty tightly knit with each other. I doubt they'd steal it. But I don't know... I could be wrong.

I walked to my room at 2am from a girl's room down the hall, and today (I went to check if it was there) she doesn't have hers either. It's weird.

easy money? i think selling thumbdrives would be easier to sell to someone than a laptop which may contain loads of personal things and if you sell it for cheap it may spark questions. but with that being said i dont know why someone would not steal an ipod as well. who knows maybe you just misplaced it newby

I'd like to respectfully ask why you started smoking. You must have known that it's addictive and in the long-term can cause lung cancer, gum disease, et cetera. So I was wondering what was your reasoning in starting the habit? Of course, it gave you pleasure, but how did you figure that your first cigarette was worth it?

Once again, I'm asking respectfully. I'm just curious.

EDIT: This question applies to anyone else who's been in the habit, not just rabbit.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!

I've smoked countless times and never had any addictive craving or urge to smoke. I guess I'm just lucky, but I rarely smoke when I'm not drinking so that might play in.

Of course. And why are your hands on a keyboard? They should be on the ground, while you're bowing to me. What's going on?

I was just trying to give my opinion on the "addiction". Yeah, it really is an addiction. But it's not crack.. the majority of people can get over it relatively easily. If you're dying that much, get some patches or gum or something.

Ender.. it's probably too complicated for you to understand if you've grown up hating it, haven't tried it, etc.

Sometimes, it's part of a culture. Often times it's encouraged by friends. Maybe it's something to do.

Most people start smoking with the expectation that they won't be smoking their whole life. That's because it's not that hard to quit, and most people assume that they will quit before it drastically affects their health.

This is only my opinion and what I've seen, though. Some people, like Warrior, will listen to it and take it to heart. Others won't care. So take it with a grain of salt. Or something.

I was just trying to give my opinion on the "addiction". Yeah, it really is an addiction. But it's not crack.. the majority of people can get over it relatively easily. If you're dying that much, get some patches or gum or something.

Ender.. it's probably too complicated for you to understand if you've grown up hating it, haven't tried it, etc.

Sometimes, it's part of a culture. Often times it's encouraged by friends. Maybe it's something to do.

Most people start smoking with the expectation that they won't be smoking their whole life. That's because it's not that hard to quit, and most people assume that they will quit before it drastically affects their health.

This is only my opinion and what I've seen, though. Some people, like Warrior, will listen to it and take it to heart. Others won't care. So take it with a grain of salt. Or something.

My point was that there are people with wildly different experiences than the one you describe. It is foolish to state that because you've gone through something a certain way, that others go through it the same way.

This is not something you can dispute.

Quik, I am open-minded. (Of course, that doesn't change the fact that long-term smoking does cause lung cancer.)

I think I see what you're saying. It definitely is a part of culture, albeit a bad part of culture. For instance, sometimes it's nice to hang out on the front steps on a cool night without really doing much of anything. But if you were to do this, in a completely idle manner, (i.e. doing nothing but sitting on the steps like Confucius), you would be viewed as somewhat weird -- you'd be hard to comprehend. Some people may judge you as being depressed. Others may view you as creepy. So our culture found a fix to this: if you're seen outside at 10PM smoking a cigarette, people wouldn't think twice about it. They may think you have an unhealthy habit, but they wouldn't puzzle about you and say things like you're depressed, creepy, awkward, out-of-place -- it would be familiar to them. It's similar for parties, too.

Of course, that does not justify it. You can just part with culture without picking up an unhealthy habit. More specifically, I object to smoking because:

[1] It's not worth the risk of addiction. (Even though I've never smoked before, I think I can say with some certainty that you downplay the effect of nicotine addiction. After all, it is a matter of neuroscience, which is probably more reliable than a single person's judgment.)
[2] Even if you do it for a few years and then quit, the process of quitting can interfere with your life in a very destructive way.
[3] I don't like the principle of giving in to the destructive aspects of society in order to conform. I think that most people who smoke probably wouldn't call it 'conforming', out of their own self-love, but that's really what I see it as. You are risking your health in order to acquire some vain social advantages. (The goal of acquiring transient pleasure is different -- I wouldn't call it conformity -- but it is just as nonsensical, because of [1] and [2].)

Sorry that this post is long-winded. I'm just interested in the reasons why people smoke.

You've got to be kidding me.. I doubt you smoked more then I used to, and it's been a few days for me and I am only experiencing medium cravings and stress levels. It's not that hard to quit, it's not going to kill you. Quite the opposite, actually.

Having never tried it, you don't seem to realize the satisfactions people get from smoking..

It's not just a habit. Sure, it's something to do. It's an activity to make you not look weird as you go for a walk at midnight.. But also, it provides mental stimulation. It has a relaxing effect, can make the user feel lightheaded, more easygoing in social situations, and overall less stressed out.

I agree, it's a habit that's not worth the side effects, but I have a problem with people who make assumptions and judge people based on some decisions such as whether to smoke or not.

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure everyone who smokes knows it causes lung cancer, as well as many other problems. It's not a surprise, you don't need to keep mentioning it.

Really though, enough about smoking. It's junking up this thread, hah!

His habbits may differ from yours, he may not have the willpower, or he may be affected in a different way by the addiction. There are plenty of factors that contribute to the success or failure of quitting an addiction, acting as if there is only one possible reaction to have to something which is affected by so many factors is indeed foolish.

I know you like to build yourself up as this all-knowing guy who has lived life, but it does not suit you in this case.

No, I understand it affects different people different ways. But as far as addictions go, I don't think nicotine can ever get to such a point where you'd be driven crazy and "murder for one".

Yeah, I love making people think I'm mature and experienced. I've done everything and know how everyone else feels about everything.

No, it's just that I happen to be quitting at the same time and would like to give my insights to it..

I originally started because my friend (now roommate) wanted to quit, and he only had a few left, so I said, I'll smoke half because then you'll have fewer to smoke and it'll be easier. HAH! It was easy for him already, he told me he's got no urges at all. Not so for me. After a few hours without a cigarette (unless I'm asleep), I get angry and stressed out. It does hit me pretty hard. I also know the downsides of smoking, but my brain demands nicotine, and it tries to murder me if I don't get it any.

When I don't smoke, basically, I get VERY apprehensive, stressed, and angry, and it's all made worse by the fact that I'm full of anxiety most of the time anyway. Smoking just makes me calm down for a bit, and I can deal with everything a bit better. And a majority of people CAN'T get over it easily enough. In fact, something like 9 in 10 can't quit smoking. And on top of that, I have a pretty addictive personality anyway.

On a side note, I now have 4.9 packs sitting on my desk next to me, so I should be good for a while.

I think a lot of people get addicted because they don't think they will. They smoke occasionally when they're young, and accelerate when they get older.

Indeed. My dad smoked for 50 years (pack a day?) and quit cold turkey once, and it's since been two years without one. I'd really like to smoke a cigar with my dad, but it's not worth it. =/

I don't care what anyone else does to themselves, smoking included. If they want to fuck themselves up with drugs, unprotected sex, etc etc... That's cool. If someone feels the need to do it in the first place, isn't it assumed that they won't listen to any reasonable arguments from people telling them not to? There's so much "education" on the matters in schools these days, people are making educated enough decisions to be able to decide what they do and don't do to themselves.

Arguing about it seems a wee bit silly to me. :P

Don't know about the laws by where you live, but it's pretty strict here to not allow smoking within 20 feet of the entrance of a public building.

Smokers have had so much of their freedom taken away from them, they're stuck in the "smoking sections" most places. If you don't like being around smokers, don't go into their sections. And if you're going to walk through a group of smokers, don't cover your mouth and walk like you have a stick up your ass, and then sigh after you get through like "oh my god that was the worst thing I ever had to do". You'll get over it.

</rant>

Keep in mind, this is coming from someone who doesn't smoke. I have in the past, but I just have some pet peeves with people doing stupid things.

It would be nice if people took them seriously, I know this is usually just a subset of the total assholes and not all smokers, but kids at my school literally lean up against the "Don't smoke here!" signs in front of the building and smoke /sigh

"Smoking sections" are retarded, it's like having a "shitting section", where I can sit 10 ft from you, with a wall between, and stink up the whole place. Many smokers don't seem to understand that they're being assholes when they're smoking beside a non-smoker. It should be common courtesy not to do that.

This isn't targeted at anyone, but I really annoyed when people say, "you know that's going to kill you one day?" or "you know that causes cancer?" Thank you very much, everyone who smokes is 100% aware of the consequences of smoking and obviously that isn't going to make them stop.
Even more reason to say it!

I agree with him. You know what's going to kill you faster then smoking? Me, shooting you in the face for saying that to me for the millionth time. I don't wanna hear it, asshole.

I definitely don't make a big deal about it, but I tend to cover my nose when I walk past a smoker. The smell literally makes me sick. It's really annoying to me when someone lights up in the middle of the plaza with hundreds of people surrounding them. It'd be nice if they could just go sit somewhere where there aren't so many damned people around.

Windows doesn't know how to render PSD images; it's an unknown filetype as far as it's concerned. It only knows to delegate the task of opening it to Photoshop. There's likely a shell extension (that might be a bastardization of the term) that does this. Try googling around.

Why do you want to view PSD files? Save them as real images. Keep the PSD around to edit, but you should be able to tell what it is by the name. I don't see the practical use..

The entire point of that is that if you made some dinky little image that you don't care if it is very high resolution then you don't need to set it to that. The lower the resolution, the lower the clarity, and the less hard drive space the picture takes. It's a VERY nice thing to have.

You should have seen at least a few of us if you were in Time Square at night. We didn't really hang out in big groups too often.

SO many people thanked me it was ridiculous. I don't really feel like going in to too much detail about the trip on a forum lol, so hit me up on aim if you want to know specifics about some things.

I have never heard of him.

But I did talk to a crazy ass fucking black guy with a cheap necklace with a big R on it and he was rambling on about what it meant (it made 100% no sense what he was saying lol). He mentioned something about rapping lol.

I was in time square friday, saturday, sunday, and monday night lol, just not the whole time. You probably just didn't notice if you did see any of us. I saw a lot of enlisted marines there too that weekend, and a few naval officers.

hahah i am just too lazy to go through the hastle of all these windows. and if i wanted to save it as a jpeg i couldn't redo the layers i had done.

I understand what you're saying though.. if you're just working on a project and don't want to save the PSD. Just learn to name things so you'll remember what they are..

I don't remember calling you, honestly, lol.

A tip, though, try to cut down on the glare a bit... It's mostly going to have to do with camera angle and lens, I'd suggest buying a polarizing lens filter: they're quite cheap.

naww there were people pulled off to the road and its a narrow street. so they are partly in the lane so it was a disaster. a cop came by and forced everyone to move hahha. but geeze its ironic how people cry about fires but are fasinated by it at the same time.

Yeah, it pretty much does. Example, me: I drove up the street that the house was on just because I wanted to see one of their walls collapse, or a car explode. Got within ~500 feet of the house, and got to watch a helicopter drop water on it.

Had a much better vantage point than the people on the street Rupert's talking about, as that's ~1/2 mile from the fire.

I'm bummed out. The highest grade I can hope to get in calculus this quarter is a 92% because of a poor midterm performance early on. Even if I get 100% on the final it'll be a 92.75%. And that's an A-. :(

But on a positive note, I don't have to take the final in psychology and I'm guaranteed a 4.0 A. So I can study really hard in that free time and maybe that 92.75% will round up to an A. :O

92.75% is an A-? That's really weird. We didn't really get to look at our cumulative grades in calculus, but I'm pretty sure they just used the normal scale (90+ = A, etc). They did, of course, curve the tests if the mean/median was low, though.

I'm pretty sure it's an A-, but I haven't asked the teacher yet. Oh well. Just gonna strive for that 92.75%. :P

Warrior: yes, I am bummed out. I'm expecting nothing higher than a B+ in physics, making my GPA: (4.0 + 3.667 + 3.333)/3 (two of my classes = P/NP) = ~3.667 this first quarter. That's abysmal, since it's nearly all introductory courses and they're all going to get much harder.

I'm pretty sure it's an A-, but I haven't asked the teacher yet. Oh well. Just gonna strive for that 92.75%. :P

Warrior: yes, I am bummed out. I'm expecting nothing higher than a B+ in physics, making my GPA: (4.0 + 3.667 + 3.333)/3 (two of my classes = P/NP) = ~3.667 this first quarter. That's abysmal, since it's nearly all introductory courses and they're all going to get much harder.

I'm joking, but really try not to beat yourself up too much over it.

Usually 90-92 is an A-, 93-97 is an A, so if you get a 92.75 it should round up to a 93. Talk to your professor though, they will help you out if you need an extra point for a higher letter grade.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Newby on November 19, 2008, 05:02:34 pm

I also forgot that the final grade in the class is curved, so I *might* still have a chance at an A, even if I don't get 100% on the final.

I guess I'll see. :)

How are you doing relative to your classmates? I remember being disappointed with an 88% on one of the midterms in Calc 2, but it turned out that the mean was 55% or something, so it turned out that it was easily an A. They didn't curve the final grade, but I'd imagine if you consistently do better than your classmates on exams, homework, quizzes, etc, you'll have an A (I suppose this is obvious. :))

I've never had a class where this is the case. In most of them, an A- is in the high 80s.

Also, in huge classes like intro calc, it's unlikely that they'll make special exceptions. At this university, they have over 1500 students a semester taking Calc 1, and about 700 or so taking Calc 2, so it'd easily cause an administrative nightmare to allow for exceptions. I think UC Davis is probably pretty close to the size of my university.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Falcon on November 19, 2008, 08:31:07 pm

I go to UT Dallas, so we follow the UT system of grading.

If high 80s is an A-, which is 3.67. Then anything 90 and above is an A/A+ (4.0)? Then there is no point in aiming for anything higher than 90.
As for exceptions, you might be right, but you never know if you don't try. I mean if you end up at say 92.3, borderline between an A- and an A, wouldn't you want to try and see if its possible to get it bumped a little? If it works out you'll end up having an A, if not, you still get an A-. Might as well give it a shot.

What you claim may be true in general, but it does not prevent the instructors from scaling the difficulty material appropriately to get a distribution that looks just like the one you're supporting.

Newby, you're retarded. Stop stressing so much over these classes. Just because they're introductory classes doesn't mean you should ace them, and if you don't it doesn't mean you're a failure. It takes some time to get used to the entire package of moving away and going to school, so it's nothing to worry about. Plus, I know you. You're a lazy bastard. You are not putting forth your entire effort into school right now.. therefore you deserve the grade you get. Trust me, you'll put forth more effort when you have more difficult classes.

Relax.

Well said.

I think it can all be summed up in getting used to college, though. Laziness can be attributed to not knowing good study habits yet, etc.

Newby, like Quik says, once you hit the harder classes, I'm sure you'll be way ahead of the curve.

You go to the Naval Academy, you're not a typical college student. I don't mean that in a bad way, it's just not a regular college.

So at my school, to connect to their wifi, you need to log in with your name/password and then it asks you to download some strange program to ensure that your computer is safe to be on their network or something like that, I didn't really read it. I went back, and when prompted to log in again, clicked "guest" and connected me right away. lol.

believe me I drank enough to cover it.

The damage is diminishing (I guess it's evaporating or something) so I probably won't get it repaired.

Obviously didn't go to any good place then. A general rule is that it's good if you can only order in Spanish. Unless they have orange sauce. Then it's delicious anyway.

Its warm here today :(, somewhere around 52 degrees out. Actually, it is pretty nice, but my jacket is a bit too warm lol. I should be nice and cold at the army game, the high is mid 30s with wind. I have to board a bus at 0345 for that shit. I'm not getting any sleep this week, I think a total of 16 hours since sunday, and I'll probably get 3 hours tonight and none tomorrow.

Oh what the hell. Two days ago, it was warm enough that I didn't need a coat (mid 50s). Now there's 6 inches of snow on the ground. Thanks a lot, Colorado.
That sounds strangely familiar.
*shakes fist*. Let's move to Arizona or something. -_-
I'm with you.... after I'm done with everything in Wyoming.

Uhh.... it will only be worth it in the winter :-/. You'll die during the summer.

I've been to Cali/Arizona in the Summer. As long as the places I live and work have air conditioning, I don't care. I'd much rather deal with uncomfortable heat than uncomfortable cold, shitty driving conditions, ice, snow storms, etc.

Heh, yeah. It's not just the cold that bothers me, though. If it was just cold, I'd probably be okay. However, when there's snow on the ground, your shoes/pants get wet, and then you're cold for the rest of the day. I live about a mile and a half off campus, and I walked today. I have a good coat and my headphones double as earmuffs (lol), so I stayed pretty warm, but it was still pretty miserable. Being wet and cold sucks big time.

The AVERAGE high in Arizona during the summer is ~110. That just plain sucks.

That sounds much better than an average high of 0-10 in Colorado from Nov-Feb.

I've put plenty of thought into this. I find the conditions in Arizona (and other like states) to be much more desirable than the ones in Colorado. Beyond not being fond of the cold, the weather conditions just plain suck during the winter. They're dangerous and miserable. It doesn't help that the roads are ridiculous to begin with.

Weather isn't the only thing I was considering. I was also thinking about things like severity of natural disasters (and CA does pretty poorly in this regard), cost of living, etc. It'll depend on where I wind up working. From the looks of it, AZ and surrounding states are unlikely because of this. CA, eastern states, and WA are more likely that others.

The cold can be easily enough tolerated from when we walk to and from classes, but I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with the driving conditions. It's a hoot to get stuck in a town halfway to where you're going because of a road closure. Or what's even more fun is to have to slam on your brakes in the middle of the interstate because some assholes were driving at ridiculous speeds and caused a wreck ahead of you.

Yeah, for sure. The crappy weather/road conditions suck.

Almost all of the roads in CO/WY are two lane. One direction of traffic drives on one side, the other drives on the opposite side. These kinds of roads covered in snow suck big time.

How about some of those mountain roads? Twisty curvy roads where in dry weather it's foolhardy to take the turn at more than 40mph, and if you go off the road you fall off a cliff :D.

Should have gotten a full coilover setup. Adjustable ride height, and stiffer springrate means you won't blow your shocks as easily. More comfortable ride too. Should cut those skunk2 springs, tuck some tire ;) at least it's a start though!

Eh, it's a new car, I'd say it's a bad idea to get deals on suspension parts. You're using stock shocks right? What happens if you blow them? I doubt that's covered under warranty. Also, do you plan on tracking the car, or just for looks? Springs merely lower the car for looks. The ride the provide is generally pretty bouncy and doesn't improve handing for any sort of spirited driving.

IIRC, stock wheel size on those cars are 17. 16s would bring it lower to the ground, but increase the wheel gap.. if you had coils and were already pretty low I'd suggest going that route. I'm not a huge fan of using a bigger wheel then stock, especially because it will probably raise your car up more and look awkward. But.. it's up to you. I'd suggest getting good quality used rims from a place like memoryfab (http://www.memoryfab.com/), since budget seems to be on your mind and you won't be able to get good quality 18 inch wheels brand new for 'cheap'.

Since yours isn't an Si, I know there's a limited amount of parts for the car. Try doing research to see what parts that are made for the Si will fit on yours since they share the same chassis. Good luck.. talk to me if you want more resources or ideas :p

yeah i know the struts wont be covered in my warranty. but i am on a civic website where most of my friends have swapped out their sprints and struts out so if i do need new ones i can get them cheap.

Right now i do not feel any bounce in my car. it may be becuase i have added some extra reinforcement with some sway bars.

and yeah stock rims are 17. but my cousin says he is going to sell me his Racing hart C5 rims for 200 then i have a friend who wants those rims. :)

and yeah my car is no SI but i think i am finished with suspension/performance mods. generally there are more aftermarket stuff for SI like exhausts, midpieping, pulley sets, turboes, etc. but becuase i only get 140+ HP its not worth the money.

I'm assuming you're talking about 8thgencivic. I'd be careful what you buy from people you don't know, especially used parts.

If you're getting bars to stiffen up your chassis (note: won't really help with the bounciness of stock shocks on lowering springs), why bother cheaping out on springs and not getting a complete setup? I don't know, seems kinda like a hardparking thing to do and not beneficial in the least when being used for the actual purpose. But I suppose it's an improvement over stock, and I commend you for taking the effort to work on the car yourself.

Meh, not really a fan of Racing Hart rims.. but if you like them or can sell them then good for you I guess.

You're right, performance mods are pretty worthless for a base model civic that hasn't been swapped. You could probably boost that engine, but that's pretty worthless. Bolt-ons like intake/header/exhaust might be worthwhile, but it's all about what you want to spend money on.

Be careful what you install if you're worried about warranty as well.. I'm pretty sure stereo equipment voids it due to electrical tampering.

But good job, it's a start. Just trying to help you out.

I remember when every other day was bad
You were my brother, so tall was all you had.
Sireno was dead but we had you instead
Now I remember our precious petting zoo
Our delicate high school and all the things we said we'd do

They all fall like, Sweet Rain
Wet my memory, Sweet Rain
Come on down on me

It wasn't hard to look ahead
You wanted to be me instead
I wanted to be you instead but
I fell and you fell back
What is wrong with me, well what is wrong with you, Jack?

Everybody knew she was coming, Everybody knew she was
Sweet rain, wet my memory, sweet rain, fall down on me

The big screen got in between, what it was and what we've seen
How have you been? What have you been? I think about you
Now and again, I think about you every single day
Well, shit I'm thinking about you now

Sweet Rain, Wet my memory
Sweet Rain, Fall down on me

My school requires a minimum number of credit hours to study abroad, and since I went through my schools study abroad resource links to apply (and not through the actual study abroad office on campus) I was unaware of that. Somehow I got all of the signatures to go abroad without anybody realizing that I wasn't qualified...until the office caught the error today.

I'm not saying you don't have douchebags, I'm saying you don't have fratty. That's reserved for the south east exclusively.

So colleges here don't have fraternities? That's surprising, I was under the impression they were popular.

No they don't have fratty.

Yes but the people that are in fraternities vary by region and school. For example, the type of people that are in fraternities in California would not get a bid at a fraternity at my school, or any school in the SEC, for example.

I got a 53% on my calculus final. NO idea why. I'm done studying lots for tests. It seems when I just kinda glance over the material, I do really well (93% on my second calculus midterm, for example; my highest psychology scores were from just reading once through the book) but when I study all day for something and practice, I do worse than I should. This test, and my lowest psychology scores are examples of that. :/

I really don't know what to tell you; it's hard to know how much studying to do, and it varies from person to person. I will say that stressing out about the exam will cause you to do worse, especially if you eschew food and sleep in order to study/cram. I can remember one of my organic chemistry exams. I studied the hell out of the material, but I had done so at the sake of getting a decent meal down me and a good night's rest. I just couldn't think at all during the exam.

One other practice I've never really understood is the all-nighter to study. I don't know when or where the idea that an all-nighter before a big exam was a good thing to do, but I do my best to discourage the practice. When cramming, one topic leads to another, and soon it feels like there's too much information to learn in such a short time. Yes, it's a lot of information, but just take a step back and realize that most of it you've already learned from class and homeworks. Then, get some sleep.

Sadly enough, when I stopped going to lecture and barely prepared, I blew my second midterm out of the water. 93%. I studied for this one, read the book, did the final practice exam, and got an F.

Poor Newby, he's going to graduate after five years with student loans, no job prospects, and still be single. Your parents will be so disappointed.

No student loans -- my dad can afford college. I'm hoping to do graduate school, but we'll see. I figure with 12-18 more quarters to go, I have enough time to inflate my GPA to something pretty good. And I dunno about single. I guess that remains to be seen too. ;)

Not every teacher teaches from the book...
Most math teachers do. That's why I <3 math. You can come up with examples to do in class, but in the end, it's the same damn concept as is highlighted in the book.

And attending discussion sections makes up for bad lecturers, usually.

No. My T.A. for discussion straight up told us if a concept was on the homework, he couldn't help us.

So I stopped going. Because he's a fucking douchebag too.

A degree may not be required where you work, but that doesn't mean it won't help you get a better position or climb the ranks faster. While I hate a lot of the ABET requirements, the idea that any college graduate has a minimum skill set as an educated person should not be discarded lightly.

I don't mean to imply it's impossible or even unlikely to be unsuccessful without a degree, but it does seem like your reasoning is a bit naive.

Getting almost any job is easier with a degree, and you'll likely get more pay if you have one. I don't know if you've seen the statistics, but the average amount a person with a BS/BA makes over the course of a lifetime is quite a bit more than someone without one.

Have you considered working part time or something like that? That way, you can kind of do both.

In any case, good luck. I'm sure you'll do fine whatever it is you decide to do. Have you tried talking to a few people who are employed under the same title that you're looking to pursue? I think that'd probably be an excellent source for advice.

Well, you say that now, but at least I'm headed somewhere. Having a degree doesn't mean anything when you want to work for law enforcement, unless you intend to move into CSI or forensics related work. In fact, you may need to pass (or more precisely, fail) an IQ test to get accepted to an academy.

You are obviously right, the ability to write at a College level, a stronger understanding of the justice system, or even minute benefit from a public speaking or economics class wouldn't help his career at all. Oh wait...

Its more than that.
but I want to experience the justice system on a hands on approach. and the material i am going to need is going to be taught to me at the acadamy.
and as a cadet i will not be doing patrol i will be at the courts, juvenile detentions, and a variety of other locations.

I think you mistook my hostility as being directed at you. It was not. I would encourage you to pursue some kind of academic career to broaden your perspective on a variety of issues and to help you hone some valuable life skills, regardless of profession. I hear a lot of people say that school isn't the right thing for them and I think what that really means is they didn't like high school. A post-secondary education can take a variety of forms. It doesn't need to mirror the traditional 4 year, full time university student that pumps out a degree as an extension of high school and then decides what to do with their life.

Take a year off, fine. Explore some possibilities and get your feet wet, fine. Don't give up on a higher education just because you think you aren't as smart as other people. If you have a strong ambition to be a police officer, find some role models and find out what they have done or get some advice from people actually in the field on how to succeed. I don't believe for a minute that your entire police officer ambition is to be doing night patrols for the next 40 years.

Post by: Ender on December 17, 2008, 10:20:48 pm

Rupert, you should talk to someone at your local police station and arrange an interview with someone high-up (so that he knows what he's talking about) and ask him what qualifications are desirable and helpful for your career interest. For instance, ask him what the advantages and disadvantages are of going to college first, like whether you'd get a higher salary, more opportunities, etc.

This is the only rational solution, and you should do it ASAP, if you haven't done it already.

the benefits to school do not occur until you are promoted to stage 5 which take about 5 years on the force to achieve. I have talked to some guys in detective work and they suggest school but i have also talked to guys in specialized units who say getting a feel for the force will help you get recognized and promoted faster. but i mean school will always be there if i choose to go back.

Her name is Raven... Don't blame me, I didn't pick it. :D This is officially my first pet evar, minus the couple of fish I had when I was five.

She came from a really crazy home (they were mentally handicapped apparently, stabbed the other dog to death :-/ ) so she's been living at a shelter for the last month. She's surprisingly super loving and friendly, and doesn't really get into a lot despite how untrained she is. I'll have to take her to classes, but it won't be necessarily a bad thing because I know little to nothing about owning a dog. I'm just lucky that my boyfriend's mother owns a pet store. She's the one that hooked us up with her. :)

I can solve 2x2x2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_Cube), 3x3x3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik%27s_cube), 4x4x4 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik%27s_Revenge), 5x5x5 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor%27s_Cube), 7x7x7 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-Cube_7) Cubes (I've never played with a 6x6x6, but it's practically the same as a 4x4x4) and now this to keep me busy. :)

Oh, I forgot: I've got a Pyraminx (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyraminx) coming in the mail soon, too! :)

Or if the cashier was smart, since he now has the knife, he could demand his money back and kick him out of the store for not being able to afford his food!

For the sheriff's? No not yet but just in case I do not get in, I want a backup plan. so I figure I will finish off this year of school.
The hiring process is about 5 months of background investigations, psychological exams, physical exams, and all that jazz. so I am praying it will take to the end of the semester then I get hired. Hopefully

Lately I have had ample free time and have started trying to fix much of my music which is not correctly tagged and named to my obsessive compulsive standards. I have slacked off way too much in recent times so I have a lot of crap that needs fixing. While trying to figure out what the program newby had sent me a while ago to help tag and rename stuff (which was astonishingly called "Tag&Rename"), I found one that is a lot better. TagScanner (http://www.xdlab.ru/en/) is an awesome free piece of software.

I applied for a position writing code related to battle.net, or general game coding. The email they just sent me basically asked what I'd be interested in doing when I got there. I didn't specify any games - I left it pretty broad. I'm waiting for another response which will hopefully tell me about the second phase of questioning!

I had to stay outside in this stuff for three hours not too long ago. We can't cover our face with anything in uniform, so the only thing we have helping us there is ear muffs :P. I mean if I had warmer socks/shoes instead of dress socks and leather shoes, and could cover up my face a bit more, it would help out a lot and I wouldn't really complain. But the wind just fucks you up like that lol

So like 4 days before classes start I realize I never checked my grades from last semester. All A's! woot. Bumped my GPA from like 3.0 to 3.4. I knew I would do better than my shitty high school grades when I actually enjoyed my classes. I did kinda eh my first few semesters but hopefully I can keep the As up.

Want to know what the worst feeling in the entire world is? Being lost. By alot. I'm talking about at least 30+ from your destination and home. Now factor in it being super late at night and there is nothing open to ask for directions.

Heh, that's no fun.

I got myself a bit lost the other day, after dropping off Blaze, because I took a randomish road. I figured if I followed it long enough, it'd end up somewhere that I recognized. Eventually, it did, but I realized that i'd been going in the wrong direction. :)

I've been more lost than that and I heartily disagree. Of course, I spent many months of 6th grade summer trying to become lost, just for the challenge (seriously). This was before I was allowed to spend night and day with computers. I find the experience relaxing in a meditative sort of way.

I was skeptical of Obama, but I have warmed up to him. The problem I had with Obama was that there was very little substantial record to indicate he would be a president for the middle of the road Americans and not be the bitch of the crazies on the far left like Pelosi. His campaign and the ravings of the far left in support of him scared the fuck out of me. However, since his election, I have seen that he is making an effort to be a leader for all Americans and indeed willing to hear all sides of the story and offer out that olive branch. He's done a lot with McCain so far, asking for his advice and input on various appointments and issues like immigration, which contrary to the past is an extraordinary gesture. Anyways, I think what really struck me from his inauguration speech was his message to everyone to stop being childish. For me, I saw that as him making sure that not just the American people thought about having to make tough decisions, but more importantly Congress. Only time will tell, but my cynicism in politicians is a little less now and a little more forgiving.

My math class is awesome this year. I'm taking linear algebra and my teacher is totally hardcore. Our grade is 2 tests, each worth 30% of our final grade, and the final, worth 40%. I own tests though so it is awesome for me. If you miss more than 3 classes (without a real excuse), you get different, longer, harder tests than the other students, because you "obviously know the material better," haha. He says he used to just fail people, so I guess it could be worse. And so far it seems like it isn't going to be too hard, and my teacher is really good at... teaching, something that seems rare in maths in my experiences. Also, our class only has 4 people in it which is awesome and they are all my friends from my CS classes.

I liked my Calculus prof. I had him for Calc I, Calc II, and Calc III. If I wanted to, I could skip all the classes and just show up for tests and the final... and if I aced all the tests I'd still get an A. I came into class like 30 minutes late one time, he didn't care.

That's a fairly good approach, I think. The biggest problem I see with it is that you can't put very much material on an exam, and the problems that typically appear are quite a bit easier than the ones that are on homeworks and quizzes. I like his philosophy, but I think I'd also require that you take quizzes and turn in homework regularly. In general, I think requiring attendance is stupid.

My calculus courses were much more traditional, but attendance was by no means required, as long as there wasn't a quiz. I generally enjoyed doing the homework, especially in Calc II -- the problems were like puzzles, which I thoroughly enjoy.

My math course this semester is structured much differently. The homework is worth 75% of our grade (O.O), and is assigned weekly. The assignments probably average about 5 questions each, but all of the problems are quite challenging. In the previous semester (this is second semester algebra), the assignments generally took me around 5 hours to complete.

I really like this model, because it allows the professor to give us very challenging problems without the worry of being unfair. He's a very forgiving grader, and is very happy to answer questions during class. It's pretty awesome. :)

We haven't had one yet (this is the first week), but I'd imagine they'll be in exactly the same format. It's the second semester of the same class with the same professor with almost the same people.

For about the last half of the past semester, I was pretty bad about zoning out during class, so it took me a while longer to research the material before I could complete the assignments. Hopefully I'll be better about it this semester. :)

I'm not sure. My mom doesn't know, despite having picked it out. The cheapest package is 10mb down/2mb up, and the next tier up is 20/5, so either way my results seem a bit odd, either I'm way over or getting very gimped download.

Cheapest internet only package is like $50 a month.

And is anyone else disgusted by comcast's advertising? I went to their site to see how it compares as far as speed/price goes, but all I see is shit like:

Quote

Downloads speeds up to 20 Mbps with PowerBoost and upload speeds up to 4 Mbps with PoweBoost.
PowerBoost provides bursts of download and upload speeds for the first 20 MB and 10 MB of a file, respectively. Many factors affect speed. Actual speeds vary and are not guaranteed

(typo theirs)

I know actual speeds are never guaranteed on consumer grade lines but that's just a new shitty level of deceptive advertising imo

Mine's 20% quizzes, 20% exam 1, 20% exam 2, 40% final.

It was great watching the teacher get confused when he added up the totals he had before (20 % quiz, 15 exam 1, 15 exam 2, 40 final) realizing it doesn't add up to 100. "Do you guys want me to throw in 10% homework, up the exam %, or just give you all A's because your teacher fails at arithmetic?" Whole class yells out A's, with a few people saying "Up the exam %!" "Ok, I'll tell you what I'll do.... I'll up the exam %, and take a remedial math class."

Very awesome calc teacher with random stories that don't really apply to the class.

I'll tell the limit story he told us another time.

lmao, nice.

My calc 2 professor was kind of like that. I remember one day he was giving a lecture on taylor series and after he wrote down the decomposition for some function, he was like:

"....... oooooooooohhhhhhh..... that reminds me...... my daughter has a peach farm in georgia"

He then talked about the fucking peach farm for 10 minutes. -_-

I used to record lectures... I wonder if I have that one. lol.

Holy shit I'm pissed off.

My diff EQ teacher gave me 0% credit for a 15% problem when I got the RIGHT answer doing it the RIGHT way. Just not HIS way. That isn't the only discrepancy on this test, just the worst. I got a D on it when if my last teacher graded it, it would have been at LEAST an A-.

I haven't used it for any of my technical classes yet, but it was awesome for the econ101-type class I took.

MS OneNote has a neat feature where when you type, it puts bookmarks in your notes that let you jump to the part of the audio recording that was at the time you were typing. I'd record the econ lecture, type notes when he changed slides, and otherwise not pay attention.

He sent us the test/quiz questions beforehand, so I'd just find the part in the notes that answered the question and play that part of the lecture. It was awesome for that.

But yeah, I haven't used it in technical classes yet. I think it'd still be useful sometimes, but I haven't listened to any of the recordings.

I went to circuit city today and bought some stuff from their blowout sale. The main reason I went was because I wanted a camera. I had always heard good things about the Sony Cyber Shot, so I got one of those. I got discount on an 8gb memory stick pro duo, so I got that as well.

I just found out that my memory stick doesn't work. I put the stick in my camera and it said "reinsert memory stick," I looked around and it doesn't say much about this error, basically the stick is broken or the camera is. I had my cousin tried it in his PSP and it would not recognize it, his room mate tried it in his cybershot with the same outcome as me.

So, I'm buying a new memory stick now. I should get it in a few days.

P.S. I feel like crazed. Blech.

The check button goes to the beginning of the thread instead of "new posts" in the thread, like it should and does on other forums. :(

...Meaning I have to remember what page it was on that I last read posts / posted at, so I can see new posts.

I think the button is working correctly on the new posts page, but I'd also like it to work in topic lists within the sub-forums.

19's an uneventful age, because you can't do anything. You're still a teenager, but you're not classified as a teenager in demographics. Teenager is cut off at 18, young adult starts at 20. 19 just is in the middle with no identity.

It's probably still possible to recover the images, depending on how much you want to spend. The less you use the computer, the more likely it's possible, but you'd have to find a professional recovery place (or somebody who knows their way around forensics tools).

five seasons? :O

I assure you it's not that nice. Sure, it's fun initially, but it makes getting around miserable. Home is about a five hour drive from school, and no matter what way I go, the roads blow in the winter. I'm talking hazardous scary roads covered in packed snow and ice with cliffs on the side of the road. Of course, that's probably still less hazardous than driving in California. :D

The fifth season happens in the 13th month. Lousy Smarch weather!

This week it's been hovering between -1C and +1C, which means everything's pure ice. Literally. In fact, here's a video of people *skating* down one of our major highways:

I know what it is, I googled it. I used to go to school down the street from while1 and what I'm saying is the girls that go there are easy...he doesn't need to go to some convention for that. But easy girls aren't good people to be around, and shouldn't be a focus.

heh, I'm about a full year ahead by credits now. I still call myself a junior, and I think that's what most people expect anyway (i.e., they want the number of years you've been in school, not the number of credits).

I hate shin splints. I think it's a combination of my old shoes + not landing/lifting off properly. I started running 1-2 miles 3-4 times a week this semester, most physical activity I've done on my own motivation ever... and now that I finally get into the routine, I have to take a break for 7-10 days to heal. Fuck.

As a result of the most recent ankle injury, my gym is leveraging that into an excuse to get a new floor on the basketball court. This means I can't play for the next month or so while they tear up the old one and put a new one in. This is a daily activity for me and now I don't know what's going to fill those 2 hours.

I kinda want to buy it just to find out.

Judging by how much companies suck the answer is probably "yes," and if they do and overdraft my account I would be stuck eating it. But if they don't, I can get a sweet tv for $100. Or make $200-300 on ebay.

Physically, yes, they CAN charge you more, but it's illegal. Since it's Dell, I doubt they would, they probably just wouldn't sell it to you.

let me reword. I am trying to multitask cause I have a mid-term tomorrow.
so Hitman bought a 32 inch 1080p tv for $100. The tv originally cost $600 so that is why he bought it. It turns out that the discount for $500 was an error so they took it off the site, but Hitman bought it before they could take it off.

This happens on dell's site a lot. Sometimes you'll get lucky and the item will be shipped before they notice, but 99% of the time someone tries to buy 10, they notice the mistake, pull the page, and cancel all the orders. I don't blame them but wonder why they haven't figured out how to keep it from happening so much (I'm sure the PR isn't good).

Physically, yes, they CAN charge you more, but it's illegal. Since it's Dell, I doubt they would, they probably just wouldn't sell it to you.

Also, the page is gone.
This happens on dell's site a lot. Sometimes you'll get lucky and the item will be shipped before they notice, but 99% of the time someone tries to buy 10, they notice the mistake, pull the page, and cancel all the orders. I don't blame them but wonder why they haven't figured out how to keep it from happening so much (I'm sure the PR isn't good).

Yup.

Dear Customer,

It would also cost Hitmen a lot too to take Dell to court, it's cheaper for him to just give up and leave it alone. The difference between Hitmen and Dell is that Dell might not like wasting the money and hassle, but they could easily win in court and not go completely broke. Whereas if Hitmen took them to court, and in this case he would likely lose, and then they could couter-sue or w/e it is and make him pay for the legal fees and lawyer fees they had to pay in addition to his own legal and lawyer fees because he took them to court and wasted their time and money.

They don't need to send a "legal team". I'm unfamiliar with how these things are handled, but I can't imagine that it'd cost them more than a few hundred bucks to send someone to show up and say "this is stupid."

This is all assuming that the lawsuit is even allowed. I think there's probably some amount of things that can be handled without anyone showing up.

Dell most likely already has hired a full-time salaried legal staff on hand to handle a wide variety of business and legal matters. It would probably get thrown out like you said, and so Hitmen would lose more than Dell in this case because I believe it costs money to simply file a lawsuit.

The FSM? I was in an environment that made it very hard to not be religious. I had doubts pretty early in my life. I remember asking my parents, pastor, etc "What if there isn't a heaven or a god?" when I was 5 or so, and I was told that I was sinning by even asking that.

The recent obsession with the FSM has been more an effort in humor than militant atheism. lol.

If you were talking about the GA part, I had a pretty decent idea of what GAs were 4 years ago.

My 32 starting units just fucked me over basically. I am an academic sophomore and those don't count towards any GE classes, 'nor can I use them in place of other classes... and once I hit 225 units I'm basically forced to graduate. (We average 45 units/yr on quarter system.)

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Sidoh on March 11, 2009, 10:05:59 pm

If I'm not mistaken, I think he'll be attending the same university when he gets a diploma?

If that's the case, it's pretty clear he won't have any problems in that regard. He's probably already working towards a degree and will be able to finish in the normal amount of time minus the time he's already been there.

Even if not, your dilemma isn't generally the case. Quite a few people have problems transferring credits, but only when they're upper-divisional courses. All of the dual-enrolment courses I took in high school transfered over when I came to university and waived quite a few classes that I would've had to otherwise take. These include the stupid intro math courses, composition, and chemistry. It saved me about a whole semester's worth of classes.

AP is very different from ACTUAL college courses. My courses I took at the university under university professors with a university transcript, etc etc. They coun towards lib ed requirements (generals), major courses, and whatever else I want them to count towards.

Why are you worried about missing one lecture, Newby? If your professor takes roll, then you're marked absent. Doubt one mark will affect your grade much, if at all. You missed a lecture, either get the notes that you missed or you lose the information. You're going to drive yourself crazy throughout college if you stress so much over missing one lecture in a class. You'll get over it.

Hahahaha. That sucks. I haven't shown up once to programming past week 2 and I have a 97%. :)

I missed a discussion (grade based on attendance) and that combined with labs accounts for 25% of my final grade. I'd like to kick that up as high as I can, since I failed the first midterm and have a mediocre grade in homework (25% of my grade combined for those two).

100% in quizzes or so (10% of final grade), final is worth 25% of final grade, 75% raw (waiting on curve, which should be hefty apparently) on second midterm (15% of final grade). I think I can still pull off a B at the very least. :O

I needed to use them to collect data points, god damnit. :(

I finally finished, though, and discovered that my path relinking algorithm sucked ass, and that my genetic algorithm was just plain awesome. We were doing local search / GAs for the asymmetric travelling salesman problem. 10% of our grade is relative performance to the rest of the class, and mine kicked ass, lol.

It's better than being towed. I've gotten a ticket there (but it was thrown out) and was towed from the Landings. Not that you really have many places to drive around Fvegas though.

Is that all it costs for you to get a semester parking pass? That's cheap as hell, lol. I think it's upwards of $500 at my university. Parking is really sparse, though. They keep putting buildings where parking lots used to be.

Ah. The parking here isn't super, but there are a few lots that are pretty close to the center of campus. There's one in front of the library, which is pretty much right in the middle. There's another huge lot by the engineering building, which is pretty close to the library. Most of engineering lot is a meter lot, though, so you have to pay if you park there. The other part is restricted to faculty, staff, etc during the week.

The dorms have parking lots too, but most of them are really far away, heh.

I think I've gotten 15 hours of sleep over the past 5 days. This has been a rather hellish week. I was up until 5:00 AM last night working on an evaluation assignment for my AI class because a bunch of grad students decided that they needed to use all of the computers in the CS building to run their simulations. I needed to use them to collect data points, god damnit. :(

I finally finished, though, and discovered that my path relinking algorithm sucked ass, and that my genetic algorithm was just plain awesome.

That is a pretty tough decision. The piece of advice I've heard over and over again is if you want to do graduate school, do it right away. It's pretty hard to drop everything several years down the road and come back. Many big companies will pay for you to go to graduate school while you work for them, but I don't think you'll usually have the option of doing a M.S. or a PhD. I think it's usually a strictly course-based program. I've heard that this kind of robs you of the grad school experience, which may or may not be a good thing, lol.

As for me, I'm pretty sure I'll go straight to graduate school. I'm still unsure if I'll do PhD or M.S., though.

This isn't true. They will typically pay for any classes that are part of a degree that applies to your job. It doesn't have to be an exact match either so you could work on a MBA or a MS, for example. It would be hard to justify taking more than one Masters level class a semester while working full time though, which can make it hard to stay on track and finish the degree. I know several people that have received advanced degrees while working and it's not uncommon for it to take them 10 years to finish their MS simply because they can't take classes every semester and it's a lot harder for them to do really well taking only one class while competing with work/family/etc.

Maybe this is a misunderstanding. I think at my university, a Master of Science is a thesis-based program. A Master of Computer Science, for example, is a strictly course-based program.

Is this still inaccurate? It seemed like from my discussions with professors and people I've worked with in the past, a research-based program is less commonly pursued/allowed.

Right, I understand that there's a choice between the two at most universities. I guess I wasn't sure if the vocabulary was consistent. This is what I was claiming in my original post -- the research-based degrees are less encouraged.

Post by: Rule on March 18, 2009, 03:57:32 pm

If you're doing a PhD, you're going to have to do a lot of research; you can't get a PhD without a substantial dissertation.

Masters degrees seem to vary. A lot of PhD programs take 5 years, where the first 2 years is a mix of courses and research. Some PhD students will stop after the first 2 years, and get a master's degree. Others will get a master's degree, and continue on for the next 3 years, and get a PhD. Others will just continue to get a PhD, without a masters.

There are one year master's degrees, two year master's degrees, primarily course based master's, primarily research based master's, etc.

It also varies from country to country. In Canada, for instance, a master's degree in a scientific subject (including CS), is more of a big deal. The dissertation is seen as quite important, and is treated almost like a PhD thesis. In fact, usually you can't start in a PhD program until you've completed a master's.

When you say a "research based" program is less encouraged, that would depend. Less encouraged by who? Professors? If by professors, I can only see this for the following reason, which is somewhat specific to the US and the UK. If you're going to do research in these places, might as well try for direct entry into a PhD program -- it could save you time, and you could end up with a master's anyways, if you decide to change directions after a couple of years.

Right, in the U.S. for Master's programs in CS you have two options depending on the school, a Masters of Science (MS) or a Masters of Computer Science (MCS). The latter of the two is a degree without a research thesis requirement. So basically, it's a degree for someone whose goals more align with an industry career. However, if you had two identical candidates but one with a MS and MCS applying for the same industry job, I don't feel the MS would be at a disadvantage at all. In fact, the MS would have more doors open to him/her.

Supposedly, some schools in the US are even now doing the same for Doctorates.

For me, I'm not sure yet on what I'm going to do. The problem is, I can't make a decision until I hear back from two more grad skools. The one I've been accepted to is my backup. Sigh.

Oh, I was strictly referring to employers who are paying for you to attend graduate school. I didn't mean to suggest that the research intensive degrees are a worse idea. In fact, I think they sound much more interesting and fulfilling. :)

What graduate schools did you apply to? What do you want to do research in?

Ok so there has been a big white comcast van parked on the street outside of my house for about 3 days now. I haven't seen it move once and I have seen people in it occasionally but it doesn't look like there is anyone is working on anything. I wonder who is watching me.

Happened to me before. I was paranoid as hell. I even sent my mom out to see who was in it once. Turns it out was plumbing or something. Perhaps that was their story.

This week has literally been one of the worst weeks of my life. Finals week with the added stress of extra bullshit out of my control that I don't want to speak about until it's handled. I've had at least a half dozen stress attacks and nearly broke down and lost it yesterday. It's ridiculous. In about 8 hours I am royally screwed for physics. I need ~60% to get a B (I THINK)... I'm praying I can get a 60%. If not, I am not sure wtf I'll do. Then 3:30 I have my philosophy final, which I need to get a 100% in to even chance getting an A in the class (since the TA is a polesmoking shithead that gives me Bs for awesome papers, where my friends get As for mediocre ones); then I get to learn about multi-variable differentiation for the final on Saturday. And the programming final is my last one, so I end on a positive easy note. I hope.

Maybe miracles do happen. Maybe something will come to me and everything on the final will make sense. Fuuuuuuck.

Fuck this week. :/

When you say a "research based" program is less encouraged, that would depend. Less encouraged by who? Professors? If by professors, I can only see this for the following reason, which is somewhat specific to the US and the UK. If you're going to do research in these places, might as well try for direct entry into a PhD program -- it could save you time, and you could end up with a master's anyways, if you decide to change directions after a couple of years.

Oh, I was strictly referring to employers who are paying for you to attend graduate school. I didn't mean to suggest that the research intensive degrees are a worse idea. In fact, I think they sound much more interesting and fulfilling. :)

If you're doing a PhD, you're going to have to do a lot of research; you can't get a PhD without a substantial dissertation.

Masters degrees seem to vary. A lot of PhD programs take 5 years, where the first 2 years is a mix of courses and research. Some PhD students will stop after the first 2 years, and get a master's degree. Others will get a master's degree, and continue on for the next 3 years, and get a PhD. Others will just continue to get a PhD, without a masters.

There are one year master's degrees, two year master's degrees, primarily course based master's, primarily research based master's, etc.

It also varies from country to country. In Canada, for instance, a master's degree in a scientific subject (including CS), is more of a big deal. The dissertation is seen as quite important, and is treated almost like a PhD thesis. In fact, usually you can't start in a PhD program until you've completed a master's.

Right, in the U.S. for Master's programs in CS you have two options depending on the school, a Masters of Science (MS) or a Masters of Computer Science (MCS). The latter of the two is a degree without a research thesis requirement. So basically, it's a degree for someone whose goals more align with an industry career. However, if you had two identical candidates but one with a MS and MCS applying for the same industry job, I don't feel the MS would be at a disadvantage at all. In fact, the MS would have more doors open to him/her.

Supposedly, some schools in the US are even now doing the same for Doctorates.

For me, I'm not sure yet on what I'm going to do. The problem is, I can't make a decision until I hear back from two more grad skools. The one I've been accepted to is my backup. Sigh.

What graduate schools did you apply to? What do you want to do research in?

Well, I applied to only 4 PhD programs: UVA, Texas A&M, Notre Dame, and UNC Charlotte.

UVA ggnorethx'd me but I expected that much, since it is the only top 20-30 overall ranked graduate programs in the country I applied to.

I got accepted to Texas A&M, which was my backup, but at this time I don't have a guarantee of full funding. I've only been guaranteed a $1,500 scholarship with instate tuition rates, and put on a waiting list for a teaching assistantship which I should know if one is available for me by May 1st (I have to make a decision to accept/decline their offer by May 15th). However, if I decide to accept their admittance, I'm almost certain I can get full funding from a research assistantship with the faculty adviser I had when I did research there two summers ago.

I still need to hear back from Notre Dame. If I get accepted there, I'd most likely accept it in a heartbeat since it is my top choice and I really enjoyed my research in wireless sensor networks and faculty adviser from this past summer.

UNC Charlotte is a random choice I threw in...

I was going to apply initially to more but it was a lot of work with just the 4 I did, as well as required quite a pretty sum in application fees. I ruled out the top programs in the nation because my chances were next to nothing of getting in with my mediocre GRE scores. I should have not wait until last semester to take the GREs... I had too little preparation and too much on my plate at the time. If I don't go to grad school immediately, I will have more time to prepare for the GREs and retake them, as well as complete my masters and then apply to PhD programs.

Late night impulse buys on computer parts are a bad idea. Somehow I justified spending a little more money for a slightly better processor than I originally intended on purchasing, but apparently that bumped up the system bus speed to something my older motherboard does not support. Now the difficult question: Do I spend *more* money and buy a new motherboard, or attempt to go through the hassle of replacing a now icky thermal grease coated CPU? (haven't even looked into whether I can do this or not with newegg, but according to the box apparently attempting to run it on an unsupported motherboard voids the manufacturer's warranty)

Nah, at this point they're just aware of my desire to further my education, but not that I have pending graduate admissions. I should hear from Notre Dame in the very near future, they should if be evaluating my application if they haven't already. It's an easy decision if they GGNORETHX me... because in this case my mind is pretty much already made up that I'm going to accept their offer if it's what I'm anticipating (I've predicted their moves pretty accurately so far). I really think I'd work well with the people I interviewed with, as well as enjoy the project. Plus 15k/yr in education reimbursement is plenty, and this way I'd just apply to Masters programs at like John Hopkins and/or University of Maryland. However, it will be a much tougher decision if I'm accepted to Notre Dame, because it will mean I'll have an automatic full-ride- a 30k/yr education.

I've been super inactive as of the last week, but updates:

-- 3.47 or 3.55 this quarter. A in math (97% on my math final, I kick butt!), B+ in philosophy (fuck the TA that graded my shit), B in physics.

I have to talk to student judicial affairs about a plagiarism accusation, but worst comes to worst, they convict me and I wind up with an A- in programming (which is a slap in the face all on its own); nothing goes down on my transcript. Hopefully, they'll see common sense as the law of the land, because I'm allowed to work with one person, and that covers my "plagiarism accusation" completely, and I'll get the A. 3.55. If not, 3.47.

Spring Quarter is here. I'm going to bust out a 4.0 or die trying.

Half a point? As in 3.0 => 3.5? Jesus, that's completely ridiculous. What made that big of a difference?

Yes. I guess they didn't correctly calculate my senior year grades or maybe AP weight? I don't have a copy of my old transcript to compare it to.

Heh, that sucks.

Although I was under the impression that universities don't really look at weighted GPAs. This is something I've heard pretty frequently, anyway.

Well it wouldn't have made much difference I guess in where I went for freshman year first semester, since I had already been accepted and enrolled. But I could have transferred to a bigger school and also this mishap prevented me from getting a more distinguished graduation ranking. It's not something that really matters now, but at the time I was pissed off because I didn't get a certain sash or something.

Technically they don't, but they're going to notice if someone is taking straight AP/IB classes instead of regular or even Honors..

lolz. I think I got into UCD based on taking straight AP/honors. I had a 3.0 and the kids here usually had close to a 4.0. But hey, maybe 99% percentile on the ACT and strong test scores / extracurriculars helped. :P

Anyway, apparently SJA doesn't find the matter of my "plagiarism" worth investigating, so I am stuck with an A-. I don't know who the "third person" I worked with is, but I technically *didn't* work with the second person (although by definition I could have) either, so rather than risk getting caught lying, I'll just cut my losses and take the A-. And never help anyone again. :O

So I emailed the chair of graduate admissions and requested information on the status of my application, as well as explained my situation. It seems that I'm currently on the top of the waiting list for an opening. While there's the probability that an opening may become available, if one doesn't open up by Monday, I will accept the job offer. At least it's comforting to know that I haven't been completely rejected. I made it to the top of their waiting list :P.

#1 on the waiting list? As in, if 1 person decides not to go, you are accepted?

That seems pretty much like guaranteed acceptance. If you would have gone had you been straight out "accepted", I'd wait this out. You could e-mail back to ask about your probability of being accepted. If you are truly at the top, they'd say it is pretty damn high.

Mine was pretty strange... but I think most are.

And no, it's not required to buy it. I did have to pay some $50 fee last year when I joined though. I'm just buying this stuff to differentiate myself from the rest of the graduating class. The majority will have just the cap, gown, and colored hood denoting their college/degree type. I probably won't purchase the medallion, too tacky. But I definitely will get the cords, and most likely the stole too, since it has the emblem visible on it.

Post by: Newby on April 09, 2009, 07:33:57 pm

Yeah. I tested it (sent "hmm"), then subscribed to some people that were constantly sending out updates about the status of the fires. This way, I didn't have to wait on the news to get valuable information. People went around and tweeted about where the fires were, if they were growing, etc.

I think Twitter is a lot like blogs in the sense that they started out as annoying people posting about stupid things, but have developed into something that's somewhat useful.

The advantage to blogs is that they're decentralized, while Twitter is controlled by a company. I don't like that.

The San Diego fire IRC chat was very useful because they automatically posted all the twitters and were twittering any information people could provide in the chat that they didn't want to twitter themselves.

I agree. I just made one two nights ago, I had made one before but I thought the idea was dumb. Now it seems like it has some merit. Like I said, it seems useful for networking. I use it to connect to different entrepreneurship related things (speakers, entrepreneurs, blogs, advice, etc.). I also made one for this company I work at to connect with the niche market areas they target. Nobody that I've seen on there (although I'm sure they're abundant) are posting things like "eating spaghetti" or something. A large portion are just interesting links or quotes or something.

Note that I said "somewhat" useful -- to me, the signal:noise ratio is a mess. There's wayyyy too much stuff on there that I just plain don't care about.

It's promoted and advertised that way, but I don't think it's the only use -- for example, if somebody just uses it to post/propagate interesting links, that's not really that bad.

Does anybody have a pen/tablet for their computer? If so what do you use it for? I got one of the small Bamboo ones but the more I think about it I don't really have a need. I was hoping to use it somehow with webdesign.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Blaze on April 12, 2009, 02:54:47 pm

Mines larger, more sensitive (1024 pressure levels), supports barrel tilt and has more nibs for the pen. Other than that, they're pretty much the same.

For web design, yours should be sufficient for anything you'd be working on.

Edit: Don't get me wrong, the bamboo is amazing for the price. Mine cost a lot. :(

Quote

1:29:48 AM Me: you better not be drinking by yourself
1:29:51 AM Me: I will be a sad panda
1:29:53 AM Me: have you ever seen a sad panda?
1:29:57 AM Me: they're so rare
1:29:58 AM Me: like mewto
1:29:59 AM Lauren: a+ for saying sad panda
1:29:59 AM Me: mewtwo*
1:30:09 AM Me: no pictures exist because they are so horrifying to actually look at
1:30:11 AM Me: that people commit suicide
1:30:17 AM Me: they instill instant
1:30:18 AM Me: INSTANT
1:30:19 AM Me: depression
1:30:26 AM Me: like some magic pill for happy people who hate being happy
1:30:28 AM Me: could you hate being happy
1:30:36 AM Me: that's like oxymoronic
1:30:44 AM Me: like imagine a hippo yelling
1:30:49 AM Me: hippos are always happy
1:30:54 AM Lauren: hahahahahahaa
1:30:54 AM Me: but when they make that loud roar
1:30:56 AM Me: they're angry
1:30:58 AM Me: but they can't be angry
1:30:59 AM Lauren: do you log your aim convos
1:31:01 AM Me: THEY"RE HIPPOSD
1:31:02 AM Me: yes
1:31:04 AM Lauren: fabulous.
1:31:12 AM Me: so you can't have angry hippos
1:31:15 AM Me: just like you can't have sad pandas
1:31:21 AM Me: but for our purposes, sad pandas actually exist
1:31:27 AM Me: so don't make me a sad panda
1:31:28 AM Me: wow
1:31:32 AM Me: I closed the circle on that logic
1:31:38 AM Me: I totally brought it back to the original conversation
1:31:43 AM Me: jesus i'm just typing whatever comes into my head now
1:31:45 AM Me: totally didn't mean to say that
1:31:51 AM Lauren: hahahaha

2:03:50 AM Lauren: wanna see another pic of me in raybans

2:04:13 AM Me: HOLY SHIT
2:04:14 AM Me: WTF
2:04:16 AM Me: WOW
2:04:17 AM Me: I'M IN AN OFFICE

And for the record, I wasn't high yesterday – I just wanted to fuck with Hitmen. Although I did eat a lot of ice cream, which caused me to get really bad acid reflux, which caused me to stay up half the night coughing violently.

I'm pretty sure I'm terrible with integrals. I rocked my multi-variable differentiation / series class with a 91% raw (when the curve was 66% = B-, I guaranteed myself an A, lolzies) but come multi-variable integrals (or simply put: multiple integrals) I find myself struggling. And it doesn't come down to finding bounds or translating between coordinates, it comes down to simple integrals. e.g. cos²x and shit like that.

I really hope I pass this midterm tomorrow!

Owned.

My differential equations teacher took 15 points off a problem on the last quiz I had. He didn't state clearly that he just wanted a formula, so I plugged numbers in it, but didn't write the formula down. Being as senile as he is, he marked it wrong lol. I went up to him after and showed him how I plugged into the formula he wrote down on my quiz, and it still took him 5 minutes to realize that I actually did know what I was doing :P. 82%->97% = win. Maybe I'll scan it so you can see how he takes points off for stupid shit lol

I have a dilemma.
so I have been volunteering at a hospital for 5 years. then I graduate highschool and stop volunteering.

so recently I got a job near the bay, www.sdhe.com
and pay is 9.25

now the hospital called me the other day saying that they wanted me to work for them for 15 bucks an hour.
but the work there is paper pushing and super boring.

the other job I have now is fun, I get to see meet fun people and it is on the bay, beautiful view, super fun.

what would you guys do?

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Blaze on April 17, 2009, 02:21:23 pm

Take the money job right now, you're not at a point in your life where your job is what you're going to be doing for a long time, nor in a position to rise in the ranks. Just try to get as much money as possible to make the next couple of years / school easier.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: truste1 on April 17, 2009, 06:37:51 pm

Will you get the same amount of hours? Still I'd say go for the $9.25 because you're on the water, it's about to be summer, probably can meet girls, etc. But I also love boats and being on the water, so I'm biased.

On the other hand $15/hr would give you a lot more money to actually do leisure activities...such as take a girl on the harbor cruise instead of working it.

You could tell the cruise people you've been offered a $15/hr job at the hospital, and see if they can up your wage in order to keep you, or if they have any other higher paying job you could do there.

So I've had this idea for a website, have done research into it, started relearning PHP to make it, have been making slow progress. It's a good idea, able to be used by lots of people, options for expansion, options for mobile apps, could not find competition, etc.

Today I found competition. So now I'm at the point where I have to decide whether to scrap the idea or to keep going with it.

Tonight was pretty crazy. We had an exchange with some Jewish sorority that I thought was going to suck but it was surprisingly awesome. Here's why:

I wore a Microsoft "Services for UNIX" vest. Super nerdy, but whatever, I didn't have a costume. It was supposed to be 1920s themed, I decided to be the 2020s themed look, "I'm Bill Gates, I took a time machine back 100 years" style look. Some murder mystery story was the theme of the night, but it was super lame. Some chick yelled at me so I yelled back only because she was pretty cute at some point during the festivities (before the dancing and the beer).

Same chick danced with me as soon as the music started, in that she called me out and asked me to dance with her. The chick was an insane dancer and really cute too. We danced a bit, she made fun of how I couldn't dance but tried to teach me anyway. She asked what was up with the vest, I told her my story, she thought it was cute and thought I was sweet. Later, she had to leave, her ride was leaving. I thought she left, suddenly she shows up again and ends up giving me her number (when she originally came to get my last name) sooo tonight was a success.

I'm unusually drunk, but some cute chick gave me her number and said "we should party together" so I definitely am gonna call her up soon. She said she's out of town this weekend, but soon. :)

Unless it's all a trick! Blah! Or maybe I had serious beer goggles. But I'm hoping not. But the fact that she was into me... makes me think alcohol was really a player in this whole situation. Maybe it's insecurity.

Never go to a party sober, you're too tense if you do. Don't go shitfaced, but if you're a little tipsy it goes a long way towards being social.

Now, as for this chick, you should call her, be friends with her, party with her, but be careful not to become good friends with her. There is a fork in the road you will come to eventually, one path leading you to a relationship, and the other into the dreaded friend zone.

Watch out for this, and you will be good.

So apparently at least 3 tornadoes touched down in my area today. One near my house. It went from being sunny to instant rain/hail blocking all vision from the window. About 5 minutes later it was over. Nothing significantly damaged at my house, but my neighbor lost part of their privacy fence and a tree fell on their house. A house around the corner had a tree fall on their house and their car. The governor declared a state of emergency for the region.

In more pleasant news, I am the fastest swimmer in my lifeguard cert class.

Nope, the five hours were because it was from Ft McMurray to Edmonton (http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=ft+mcmurray,+ab+to+edmonton,+ab&sll=49.891235,-97.15369&sspn=38.380876,114.257813&ie=UTF8&ll=55.354135,-111.851807&spn=4.210673,14.282227&z=7) (don't ask me how Google gets 8 hours, but it's 450km which is about 5 hours :P)

parking is about 1.25 an hour so take that out of my pay of 9.24 and I make 8 under minimum wage. bull shit.

So I get a call from my old employee and she has a job opening for me $17 an hour for a desk job at a hospital + benefits.
and it is close to my house.

my question would be is it bad to leave a job after 3 months of working there? and after I went to the trouble of going through an acquaintance's dad to get the job?

and basically the reason I got the 9.25 job was to practice my social skills cause I am uber shy. and with that job I talk wayyy more.

and I am in a postion where I do not really need money cause I live at home my expenses are paid for...

parking is about 1.25 an hour so take that out of my pay of 9.24 and I make 8 under minimum wage. bull shit.

Take the better paying job. Tell them you have to leave because the way commuting works for you now, it'd be better to work at a McDonalds near your house.

You're someone I could get along with, lol.

Glad to see some Californians actually see that something is wrong with their state and local governments. I'm looking in from the outside of course, but it's good to know that people from the inside share the same opinion of its governing. I'm sure it's an awesome state other than it's tendency to be governed poorly. But for me, beyond just visiting for short periods, I'd never want to permanently live there.

In fact last week I got a request for a job interview for a software engineering position in Van Nuys, CA and besides the fact that I already accepted a job offer already, I was like "Hell No" to living in LA, where I can only imagine the pain it would be to relocate cross-country on top of the cost of living, daily traffic, etc. I'm sure I would love LA as a tourist, but not living there.

Don't get me wrong, generally I love California. It has many good qualities- weather, liberal social attitudes, diversity, etc. For a long time I dreamed about moving there and becoming successfully so I could join a company in Silicon Valley. But it finally occurred to me, that for all the uber awesome advantages to living in CA, there are just as many disadvantages to equalize them.

I'm hoping to plan a vacation there next year to attend Anime Expo, site see, and visit friends.

not sure this is the best place to ask this but anybody have any experience with older women? I'm not really sure how that game works but there's this lacrosse mom that is really attractive. I was teaching her how to keep the score book and penalty clock today and she touched me and got close a few times, but those were the only "signs" besides telling me I should come to the game on Wednesday because I'm good luck. The touching thing is pretty sure fire with people of like age, but I figure moms are different. Or they could be. I really don't know at all, and there aren't really any things online about it. Cougars seem like a whole new animal, full pun intended.

Well, soda, fast food, and junk food in general is dangerously cheap. That gives it a huge edge over healthier alternatives (I can buy good orange juice for $10/gal, or pop for $2/gal). So I can see it as a good thing. :)

Yes?

The juice I buy here is $7.99 + tax for 2.89L. That's $11.05 + tax/4L (gallon).

And it isn't even good juice -- it's Tropicana (concentrated, made by Pepsi)

Title: Re: Let's hear it!

I was wondering why your orange juice was so expensive, and then I remembered that you were from Canada, so I went ahead and did the exchange rate conversion.

What brand of orange juice would you consider good, if not Tropicana's? I'm actually serious since I don't drink OJ too often.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: iago on May 12, 2009, 04:27:33 pm

Well, fresh squeezed (by you) is the best, but that involves more work than I'm normally willing to go through (lemonade from scratch, on the other hand, is worth it :D).

I consider anything that has no additives and isn't from concentrate to be 'good'. If it's organic, that's even better.

But if you buy Tropicana you can enter a code and save 100 sq ft of Peruvian rain forest!

And a 20oz bottle of soda is $1.49, that's not cheap. Water is obviously the cheapest (and best) even in bottles. Juice is sometimes less than soda, or around the same price. It's ridiculous.

On the topic of soda, everyone go buy Pepsi Throwback. It uses real sugar instead of HFCS and is much better/no syrupy aftertaste.

Blah. I got a 65/100 on this midterm for physics. I'm really hoping that's without a curve -- if it isn't, I gotta pull off at least an 86% to get a raw B- in the class. :/

I can't catch a break and pass anything this quarter, short of programming. And I'm in three classes. Maybe physics isn't for me.

There's a difference between juice and decent juice.. you can get the "water juice flavour + sugar" cheap, but that's no better than pop. 5 Alive and Minute Maid = pop, basically.

$1.49 is super cheap, especially compared to juice. I checked the price for a good organic juice here, it's $5.99/2L.

Things could be different where you live, come to think of it -- we have to get our juice shipped from the far south, which is much closer to many of you.

I'm in southern Maryland, near Lexington Park. Most contractors have offices all over and probably most have division/sector headquarters located in the VA-MD-MD area. I'm about an hour or less south of DC, but I'm looking forward to planning weekly weekend trips to the DC and Baltimore areas, since the area I'm located is pretty rural.

I'm part of the Integrated Systems sector within the Aerospace Systems business sector (don't ask, they've done restructuring and renaming of the divisions within the company recently so I'm told). The offices I'm working at were once a small private company that has been bought by Northrop Grumman supposedly.

Sadly, I've only been to the DC area twice in my life despite having lived in VA for most of it, and both of those times were for conventions. I'm probably going to hit a shit load of museums. I've never been to the Smithsonian, and so far it's the top on my list.

Post by: truste1 on May 21, 2009, 10:01:33 am

So I moved into my apartment for the summer on Tuesday. Yesterday we went to get the internet set up and can anybody explain this to me?

There is an ethernet port in both bedrooms in the apartment. How are we supposed to network the internet through the apartment? Is that even possible? I can't find a third "input" ethernet port anywhere. It's like we're forced to buy a wireless router if we both want to use the internet.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Sidoh on May 21, 2009, 11:17:35 am

Where's the modem at? I'm guessing they're connected through a switch somewhere, so there probably isn't an "input". I think the easiest way to get the answer to this is to ask the apartment office, heh.

Plugged into the wall and then to my laptop right now. We just went on craigslist and found a wireless router for $15. Problem solved. But still, illogical setup by the complex.

I'm so pissed.

In my experience, bosses seem to understand that new employees, especially ones that moved for the job, will need a bit of time off to take care of chores like that.

Of course, your mileage my vary, depending on your boss. :)

Pretty sure I'm going to not pass math this quarter. The final is worth 40% of my final grade, so I'm, at this point, banking on studying like a fiend for the next two weeks to try and pass that 100%... at that rate, maybe I can get a C or even a B in the course (midterm averages have been 40% or so... so I assume that trend will continue). If I don't, we'll see where the curve takes me. Fuck my life times about a billion.

I blame the weekend, memorial day, and a lack of a credit card/ credit history as the culprits. Had I not had to be in-person and drive all the way to DC last Friday inorder to setup an account with my apartment's gas company, Washington Gas, because I lacked a credit history and thus required to provide proof of identity... I could have taken care of getting internet installed. :(

Having to go to food/coffee shops with free wifi sucked because I felt it was only proper to at least buy something (sometimes I just bought a newspaper... even then I spent hours in there using their wifi). And those neighbors I could steal WiFi from if I wanted to had weak signal strengths.

At least I have it now. Although, I'm finding that I don't spend much time on the computer... I have so much other shit to do- work, cook dinner, run errands, clean, etc. It sucks.

I wanted to hit the Smithsonian this weekend but realized Monday that left the majority of my dress/work clothes in the hallway closet back at home due to my mom stealing all of the room in my closet while I was at school.

Not so much happy, but relieved. There were many significant problems with my high school, like faulty curricula and frustrating bureaucracy. While I know those things are ubiquitous to some extent, they were much more pronounced at my high school :-\. For example, in all three years that I took chemistry I never once got an A in that class; a result that is completely contrary to my standardized test scores (AP/SAT/IB). But eh, as a wise negro once said, "in order to survive, you got to learn to live with regrets."

In college, the same problems arise. But you're going to Stanford, so you probably won't run into them. I apparently know nothing about triple integrals. :(

Ugh... every time I walk into the administrative building on campus I know I'm going to come out with either the answer I didn't want or no answer at all. The most frustrating thing for me is always going in, explaining my situation to 3+ people just trying to find the right person to talk to, and when I finally reach that person, he/she is incredibly rude and won't even listen to the whole story. Part of my story doesn't sound right, and I hear, "No, that's impossible. I'm glad I could help." Of course, I always thank them for their time, and then go about my scheming to figure out how that no really meant yes.

The trick is resort to using the giant administration as a last ditch effort. It's much easier to get things done informally with advisers, department heads, and individual professors.

Kind of strange that we met for the first time today after first meeting via a internet forum for locals of the area just yesterday.

Physics is bound to kick my ass tomorrow. Math is bound to kick my ass sideways on Thursday.

If I don't pass my physics final, I'll probably get a C (where if I pass it pretty decently, I'll get a B). If I don't pass my math final, best I can hope for is a C- or worse. Heh. Luckily, the review session made me feel pretty confident about passing math. But hey, we'll see!

Damn this quarter. Damn it to HELL!

(But hey, I got at least one high A in a programming class designed to weed out failure programmers.)

Lakers won. Woohoo.

--

My brother's computer was so horridly hosed with viruses that, upon booting into the Welcome Screen, the entire system would hang. It's really impressive. So, boot into safe mode, I found that some DLLs had made their way into every single process that ran. One of them, if anyone is curious to look at it, can be found here: http://newby.dont.backstab.us/misc/welatije.zip

I've never actually given up on trying to repair a computer, but in this case, I was sure I couldn't win. I gave up.

So I decided I'd install Ubuntu on it. That way, they can't *possibly* fuck the thing up. Ubuntu is really nice and easy to get going. And it's super user friendly. The installation process could have gone smoother. I wanted to keep the Windows partition on there, and the option to "install Ubuntu and Windows side-by-side" allotted approximately 2GB to Ubuntu. So I had to go into advanced mode to set it up. But after that, everything installed, the "migration assistant" worked wonders, and even the graphics card works flawlessely.

So yeah, aside from random pieces of software that don't work on the package list, it's pretty slick. And there's even a "guest session" so that my brother's lame ass friends can surf all the porn they want (or whatever it is they do) and they won't break this.

AND I now have a computer I can ssh into and use irssi with. Again! Yes!

(Let's just say it has come a long damn way since I first tried it way back when in 2006 when I had Ubuntu 6.06.)

So apparently I nearly doubled the average on the math final...

I got a 48.5%. The average was about 25%. The highest grade was a 69%.

(http://newby.dont.backstab.us/images/superslowclass.png)

And with that note, the average grade in the class is a 45%. I have a 43.3%. I am probably going to get a C. Maybe a C- if he's a douche about it. Oh well. Beats failing!

(And lol @ being 12th overall on the final... jesus my class is retarded. Maybe it was my statement "your captain is smoking crack and doesn't know what he's talking about" on #6, where it told me the Captain's orders were to use Green's theorem to find the area inside a parametrized shape.)

It damn well figures that the first real all-nighter I'd have to pull would be for an honors course. No, not even an obscene amount of core engineering courses could make me do that. All they could do is keep me up until 1 or 2 AM. But this honors course. :-\ Oh well, as it turns out, I'm more than capable of handling it now. I don't feel half bad at this point.

Sidoh's program used LaTeX so it may require you to learn some LaTeX-style syntax as well as do some extra work if you're referring to what I think you are.

But what I've used in the past, and is easier for what you want to do, is to use the Microsoft Word Equation Editor. If you have Word 2007, then the equation editor is pretty nice, easy to use, and to find. The Word 2003 equation editor is still pretty good and should work just as good for, but not as easy to get to.

If I remember correctly, you have to go to "Insert" --> "Object..." --> Scroll the list box and select "Microsoft Equation 3.0", make sure to check the box "Display as icon" before clicking the OK button so that every time you want to insert a new equation you can just click on a toolbar button.

Warz, can we get a video of this game? I'm not following what the red lines represent. The path taken by the tank? Also, add collision right away, tanks in tanks in tanks look weird.

I tried recording one with Fraps and uploading it to youtube, but youtube said something about it not being able to encode my video. If anyone knows how to upload a fraps video to youtube then I can do that.

The tanks are just temporary models. I should probably use cones or something instead, so people don't get confused. I haven't picked a theme for my game, yet, but it's going to be a large-scale tower defense. The maps are large, although you can't tell it there because I've got the models drawing at about 500% of the size that they will eventually be. My goal is to basically allow the user to zoom in and out so they can micromanage the entire strategy or smaller parts of it, and sort of require the user to focus attention on different parts of the terrain. Sort of blending tower defense and RTS, I guess.

In those screenshots, the red line represents the least-cost path from point A (some random point on the map) to point B (the origin, 0). The paths will not be visible in the final version. The paths are calculated using the A* search algorithm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A*_search_algorithm). The first screen shot shows the algorithm with a generic euclidean distance heuristic equation. The second screen shot is using the same euclidean equation, but with some generated noise - that's why the lines are a little more random. The third screenshot is just using a different, free roaming camera class.

I'll probably be moving onto collision detection relatively soon. I'm most likely going to do something along the lines of making each enemy unit have a "positive charge" so they repel each other if they're too close. Before I add collision detection, though, I have to add the ability to place towers. Then, once I have towers, I'll make them fire at the closest, living enemy. That's when I'll need collision detection, at a generic level, for detecting bullet collisions.

Load the fraps files in any video editing software you have, and resave them in a decent (2,048 bit+) format.

Or, convert them to FLV, and I can give you webspace for this, your project looks pretty cool thus far.

(Btw, tower defense?)

Edit: Oh, and the best FLV encoder I know is the one that comes with flash. It's slow, but it does a good job.

Post by: warz on June 21, 2009, 01:11:15 am

ah, i got it to work. i used windows media encoder to do the avi -> wmv conversion. so, here's 2 videos of the pathing project. i haven't yet put the A* code into my library, and then into my main game project, yet.

this video just demonstrations A* pathing, so you can get an idea of what those red lines represent. (if you can see them. theyre hard to see with the loss of video quality.) i haven't introduced any high-cost nodes, yet, so they're going to travel directly from source to destination basically.

Almost done with the basics! Pathing is completely finished, and my towers now locate the nearest enemy, within a relatively small radius, and rotate towards it until it's out of distance. Just need to add some shooting mechanisms, and health to the enemies, and I'll be at a point where I get to polish the game!

It's turning out pretty cool.

I've used mono on a production linux server in the past without any problems. However, I avoided using any GUI elements and my dev environment has been on Windows with Visual Studio so you'd still have some challenges going that route. If this is a short term project you could download and install one of various virtual machine trials from microsoft and use a free Visual * Developer tool.

All my gaskets are blown (from the car sitting there in the sun idle apparently)

Yea. I haven't added any finer collision detection-based avoidance, yet. I'll definitely be doing that rather soon, though. My next thing on the plate is to add bounding spheres around the enemies, and implement the actual weapon firing of the towers. After that, it'd make sense to use those bounding spheres for avoiding hitting towers on a find scale, too.

LOL thats probably why it costs so much, you took it to the dealership. Take it somewhere else where labor is less expensive. And most of that stuff is fairly cheap or can be done by someone who is just a backyard mechanic.

Well, keep in mind that these are not the models I'll be using. Turrets won't be Cones laying on their sides, and Enemies won't be Cubes.

The part of the bounding sphere that you see in red is the diameter. When I made the Cone and Cube models that I'm using, I didn't know how to make the origin point reside in the center of the model - that's why the bounding sphere appears to the side of the model. The model is in fact being drawn offset from it's actual center point - the bounding spheres are accurate. The size of the bounding sphere is properly scaled to enclose the entire model, despite what may be being drawn here.

Clipping will exist for a while, most likely. I won't put much effort into corrected that until I know what the final models that I will be using will look like. I've been thinking of themes to go with while making this, and I think something zombie related would be fun to work with. It'd be cool to draw persistant blood stains on the ground, and detachable body parts when the zombies get shot. The map would eventually be covered in blood and body parts. :-P

I don't know about new-gen Turions, but you should try and find that laptop in a store somewhere. Turions used to run extremely hot even idling or doing nonintensive tasks.

LOL.

So I figured out I'm definitely in the wrong linear algebra course for the following reasons. For clarification, I am enrolled in MAT22A (Linear Algebra) and the school offers another course, MAT067 (Modern Linear Algebra).

Syllabus for MAT 22A: http://www.math.ucdavis.edu/courses/syllabi/mat22a.pdf
Syllabus for MAT 067: http://www.math.ucdavis.edu/courses/syllabi/mat67.pdf

• The professor is the same professor I had last course. I didn't do well and he was a terrible teacher. I will not enjoy the class and it will be difficult to do well.
• The textbook costs $114 (recommended price) for the course I am in. I use the textbook for 9 freakin' weeks. I am out $114 for that reason alone. In comparison, the textbook for MAT067 is free and provided online (http://www.math.ucdavis.edu/%7Eanne/mat67_course_notes.pdf). The "lecture notes" if you will. It's basically a book, from glancing over it.
• The class I am in gives a basic understanding of linear algebra, as far as I can tell. MAT067 used to be named "Advanced Linear Algebra" and is much more theoretical and useful, I'm guessing.

Only issue is that MAT067 doesn't fit into my schedule, and I'd have to file a waiver to substitute it for MAT22A, even if I could work it into my schedule. :(

On a related note, I've been studying differential equations in my spare time, following the syllabus for the differential equations class (change any syllabus's file name to mat22b.pdf) and using an older version of the book I have in PDF format. I do a "lecture" a day, and work through some example problems. After I finish that, I'll go ahead and look at MAT 067. No way am I falling behind in math skills this year! I plan to ace this quarter and the next two.

And I've been playing Morrowind. I think I might like it better than Oblivion simply because of how open-ended it is compared to Oblivion. And once you get the spells Mark/Recall and Boots of Blinding Speed, the game plays ten times faster than Oblivion ever did. Recall > fast travel, BOBS > mount.

Yeah.

I get this error like every 20 minutes while trying to patch the game and its really annoying, especially since it has been downloading for like 10 hours and still isn't done. It's really slow so I assume the connection is just timing out or something :(

I played the original in 2001 or so. I had a really awesome mage, with those boots, and with an ability to fly (quite quickly if I remember), and I could basically kill anything. I got to the head of the mage guild. Then I was kind of lost as to what to do next. I wanted lunch with the emperor or something, but nooooooooooo..............

It's like "go join another guild and work your way up all over again"....

Wonder what was supposed to come next? (I didn't know anything about the game, it was basically something I played when I couldn't sleep).

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Newby on July 06, 2009, 10:08:23 pm

You pretty much summed that up, Rule. I'm the head of the mages and fighters guild. Now I work my way back to the top of another guild/house. All to kill time. :)

And yeah, the fly thing is awesome.

And there's a main storyline... the mages/fighters guilds are just other pseudo-storylines. I do like that in Oblivion the fighters/mages guilds are more story-oriented than in Morrowind (e.g. in the Mages Guild, you deal with necromancy; the Fighters Guild, you deal with some competitional guild that has a secret edge over you) so I'm torn as to what I enjoy more. It doesn't make sense that lower people in the guilds are giving me quests (which is possible, since I didn't do them all) and in Oblivion that was never an issue.

Although in Oblivion there is significantly less to do. Obviously all that time making those storylines detracted from other things you could do.

oook. my towers now shoot at the enemies. there's no collision detection going on with the bullets, yet, but i believe that'll take like 30 minutes or so, tomorrow. relatively simple feature. in this video, the bullets don't travel at a constant velocity. it might not be visible, though. i've corrected this issue since recording this, but i'm just too lazy to re-record and upload. I've also increased the threat distance for towers so that they'll shoot at enemies from greater distances - more action.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: warz on July 08, 2009, 09:52:36 pm

... now, bullets peform collision detection and reduce the health of the first enemy they collide with. This introduces an interesting dynamic into the gameplay, I think. Towers are not guaranteed to hit a target. For example, a tower with a slower type of projectile shooting at a fast moving enemy far away will most likely miss. Also, towers with an AOE type projectile can spray a barrage of bullets (or flame, liquid, whatever) and it'll hit multiple targets.

So, now I've basically got the complete workings of a very basic tower defense game. I've written everything to be very customizable, though, so adding new tower types, weapons, enemy types, etc, is just a matter of extending a base class. There's only 1 enemy in this video, but towers aim at the closest enemy initially, and will fire at that enemy until he moves out of range. They don't freak out with more than one enemy in range. Notice how bullets will miss, and fly past the enemy. Bullets hitting the enemy simply disappear - there's no particle effects, or anything, yet.

I guess overall, I'm just trying to decide which brand is more reputable as longevity: Asus or lenovo. Many people (and from my experience) have said stay away from Dells. HP's are ugly. Acer are known for cheap, but not good for long lasting. Toshibas are too expensive. So on and so forth...

Lenovos in general are reputable and known for being long-lasting, tough computers. If you can afford one, they're a solid buy.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Hitmen on July 18, 2009, 02:16:15 am

Definitely both solid brands, but between those two I would pick the ASUS. You get .4" more of screen, the graphics card has 90 more M's, the 7200 RPM HD as opposed to the lenovo's meager 5400. Since you are looking at laptops with dedicated graphics cards I'm assuming they will be used for at least some incidental gaming, so those will all make a difference, though it will also likely affect battery life. But what would seal the deal for me is: Accidental Damage Warranty 1 year ASUS Accidental Damage Warranty - Drops, Fire, Spill, Surge. I didn't know laptops came with stuff like that!

It's somehow magically returning elsewhere from where it was called. It's actually getting annoying. Heh. It's like it's overwriting its own return address or something. But what's weird is that it'll do this in functions IDA recognizes as being standard functions.

Of course, if this thing disassembled everything properly, I wouldn't be having an issue. But half of these loc:6X* addresses are just a bunch of bytes that it can't make sense of.

Have you tried pressing 'c' to turn those bytes into code?

Also, why are all the addresses at the left the same?

<edit> And in terms of returning to the wrong place, remember that 'ret' just pops the top value off the stack and jumps there. If they modify the stack, it's going to return somewhere it didn't start. This isn't the crackme called 'shaker.exe', is it? :)

I have. It seems to turn the bytes into random assembly... I fear it's incorrect, seeing as how it has a ton of things that don't seem necessary to the program. (e.g. DMA-related stuff, instructions I've *never* seen before, etc.)

And it's a program I won't name, since I don't want to be associated with cracking it. :P

Make sure you convert the exact instruction it jumps to, not the ones before or after.

If you look for my writeup of shaker.exe, you'll see some techniques I used to get around what you're describing:

STOP MASTURBATING IN THE REGISTRY.

Unless you've been doing some funny stuff, the registry should be fine, especially if your computer was recently built/ the install is relatively new.

And I would test your RAM, especially if this is happening seemingly randomly. Use memtest86.

Man, crossing the border to Canada really sucks. My family and I went to Toronto, ON for a couple of days. On our first trip there, we forgot my Dad's green card. So the Canadian border agents took us into immigration services, blah blah and gave us a official letter to give to the US border agents explaining how we forgot green card so allow us back into the United States (because we didn't have the green card). So we get turned back around, and on our way back into the US, they detain us. They start searching our car and us. I told them we never made it into Canada, as the letter stated. They kept us in a room for three hours.. THREE hours. I mean, what are they doing for three hours? They come back and tell us we can go back into the US. So we drive back home, and come back with the green card. Once again, they detain us. WHY? I mean, it wasn't for that long, but they make us get out of our car into the immigration services room. Good thing, it was only for about 20 minutes (maybe cause it was Canada we were trying to enter. On our way back into the US a couple days later, same damn thing. They make us wait, search us, blah blah blah. This time it was for 2 hours. I mean, we have all our proper documentation.. our UNITED STATES passports and my Dad's green card. Last time we go to Canada, lol.

Yes, I was indeed asked that.

But seriously, yes. The only caffeinated softdrinks here are the colas. We don't have caffeine in our mountain dew, or, to my knowledge, root beer, either.

Many popular green softdrinks are actually clear, but in a green bottle.

You have to be fashionable. I wear polos or nice T-shirts up top and jeans or khakis for pants. However, you have to fit the right shirt with the right shorts or pants, that is the trick. For instance, it takes skill to pull off a flamboyant orange polo. It will ridiculous if you don't have the right pants or shorts to match it with. But if you do it will look pretty sharp.

You have to dress well, that's for sure. However, you don't have to own a ton of clothing to dress well. All you really need is 5-6 polos, 3-4 nice T-shirts, one pair of pants for work / formal occasions, a couple of jeans, a few khaki shorts, a few khaki pants, and a few shorts for wearing around the house. This can easily fit in a closet + dresser. It could fit in a small closet and a 4-drawer dresser. Personally I have this quirky dresser from Target that could alternately be used as a file cabinet however was made to be a dresser as well. All my pants and long-sleeved shirts go in the dresser. All my shorts, polos, and T-shirts go in the dresser. It works out perfectly.

Too many clothes is a bitch because it becomes a clutter, costs a ton, makes it hard for you to pick out clothes, and really doesn't help you improve your outfits since you probably didn't coordinate them while shopping anyway.

The trick is to coordinate your clothing when you go clothes shopping. Buy your T-Shirts and shorts on the same trip so you can see how the look together in the dressing room. The basic unit of shopping isn't a shirt or a pair of shorts; it's an outfit. Thing is, though, don't pigeonhole every item of clothing you get into one and only one outfit; they can each form several outfits. That way you can maximize your variety with a very reasonable amount of clothing.

Then again, everyone has their own look, and this is just mine. However I don't see why people should need that many clothes anyways. You can re-wear jeans khakis if you're not a smelly person. I wash once every two or three weeks and probably re-wear the same shorts/pants 3-4 times per wash cycle. (I don't have problems with BO or perspiration so I have an advantage here.) In fact if you don't have bad BO or perspiration then you can even re-use shirts if you don't get them dirty. I know a bunch of fashionable girls who do this so it's definitely fine to do.

It's important to be fashionable; life gets drab when you wear drab clothing. You simply don't have the same clout with people, especially girls. You can't just wear the same jeans everyday with a run-down t-shirt... you won't get any action.

I also have a nice sweatshirt + sports shorts look (even though I don't play sports). Trick is to play a grey, worn-looking sweatshirt off some nice and airy black shorts. The grey, grungy sweatshirt can go with some other things like jeans. That way you can completely change your look to classy in the middle of the day if you're working a polo underneath. Just make sure you don't have holes in your clothing that's a definite n-o.

I'm also experimenting with a radical grungy pajama look. Haven't perfected it yet. The idea is you wear PJs plus a very light and casual sweatshirt. The test is whether you can get hot girls to dig it. However, you have to contrast this look with a well-kept, clean-shaven face. Else you will just look unkempt and incompetent. A nice, clean-shaven face gives girls enough to go by to give it a chance and eventually be attracted to it. And you have to convey a lot of confidence in your appearance when you don this look. Confident to the point of brazen. I'd like to get a date using this look or perhaps one day go on a date with it. What it really does is it tests the limits of fashion, challenging our preconceptions. After all you're sporting pajamas on the streets and bringing bed-clothes to the classroom.

Dude, are you kidding me? How do you get chics if you don't dress well?

I had a girlfriend for 3+ years so I'm a little out of practice in that department, but it is significantly more important to be able to be confident and talk to women. Looking good regardless of what you are wearing helps. And having long beautiful hair has made lots of women come and talk to me, rather than having to approach them. YMMV, but how I dress and how I look works for me.

Does this mean you wash things after every use? If you wear a shirt, take it off, do you fold it up and put it at the bottom of the drawer? Or do you just wear the same thing every day until it gets dirty / starts to smell?

I have enough clothes to go probably 2-3 weeks without doing laundry and not rewearing anything but pants. I was just joking because I think it is silly how much effort some people put into their clothing. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

After you develop an eye for that type of fashion sense, it really requires no effort at all. I can now switch between super casual (shorts, t-shirt) to formal and only think "what color do I feel like wearing" and be good to go. I used to have to look at a shirt [in either category] and go "wtf looks good with this".

I have a lot of clothes, but I group them into two categories:

- Casual: I have a ton of stuff, but I have basically one pair of shorts and one pair of pants I like, plus 100 t-shirts, mostly black or dark blue, that I randomly select from

I'm not a pothead, and have therefore never owned a bong. However, I have friends that put other liquids (Gatorade, soda, etc.) into their hookahs, and it gets nasty real quickly. I'd imagine it'd be worse with a bong.

Newby: great idea! :) -- we need just one person from your group to meet one person from mine/sidoh's/whoever to make it one big network! Sidoh almost met Towelie (in the sense that they were in the same city, but at slightly different times).

Well sometime I can meet with both Sidoh and Newby (going to visit Balph sometime in California anyways) and Sidoh will probably stop by my city sometime this year. And then.... and then... dun dun dun... I will be the bridge.

It's not a basic programming class though. It's a software design class, a place where I definitely need some work and so usually I benefit from going. The other lectures so far was him actually talking about useful stuff, but this one was just pain.

I like discrete math waayyyyy more than I like software engineering. The problems are intellectually stimulating as opposed to tedious.

I suppose I have a bit of a bias, though... I trend toward the more mathy type of computer science.

physics almost always relies on empirical proof, which isn't proof at all. it's evidence. mathematical proof allows true knowledge. even in physics (especially in physics, actually), i feel that the professor could be lying to me with all of his hand-waving nonsense.

There are really two camps of physicists. The theorists, and the experimentalists. There is an emerging third group of people, mostly computational physicists, who could be considered a mixture of these two categories.

The 'proofs' used by experimental physicists, often rely on intuition, and can be very hand-wavy, or even mathematically wrong. However, the theoretical physicists are not much different from mathematicians. Many are motivated by the connection with reality, and some are slightly less rigorous, but this is really it.

Mathematics and physics are both governed by a set of axioms. We try to make these axioms as basic as is practical. For example, "the speed of light is the same in all reference frames". In physics, these axioms could be wrong, but they are usually supported by an abundance of experimental evidence.

In math, we have things like the field axioms. For example, 0*(any number) = 0. These are true in the sense that they are definitions. However, Godel showed that having a complete and consistent set of axioms for all of mathematics was impossible.

I can talk to girls fine. My only issues are if opportunities present themselves, I overthink every possible scenario and try to choose what would turn out best -- however, by the time I finish thinking, I just look awkward sitting there quietly thinking. And I also can't seem to think of enough dialogue to keep a conversation going when actually talking to one. I even try forcing boring shitty dialogue, and they still somehow manage to close that. It's hard to talk to girls when they can't seem to give answers that aren't dead-end conversation killers. Trust me. =P

Wouldn't you rather find somebody you get along and can hang out with, and ALSO have sex with?

In my experience, the cake part is the crap you have to eat to justify eating the icing. So wouldn't that make the cake the girl, and the icing the sex?

It sounds to me like you want icing without cake, and that's just plain unhealthy.

Newby, learn teh wiminz skills while you still can in college... much easier to meet wiminz than in the real world.

On a side note, next week is the first class of a 10-week sewing for adults course I registered for through the local county's Parks & Rec. I want to lvl up my real life tailoring skillz so I can make me some shirts for work. So difficult finding good button up collared dress shirts that fit me nicely. The majority of dress shirts I find are too big and make me look fat and stout when I'm clearly not.

Watch me be the only guy in the class. While normally I would welcome such a ratio, this situation is a bit different because most of my male friends tell me to hand over my mancard when they learn I own a sewing machine... I can only assume women would immediately question my sexual preference and mark me as a potential gay friend. I'll have to figure out the most efficient way to convey my heterosexuality (I'm guessing subtle to blatant flirting will ultimately be the best method).

Maybe if I get good enough at sewing, I can quit my day job and pursue my dream of being a lingerie designer. Mmmmm.

A mancard is a unit of manliness. When you hit puberty you automagically receive 3 mancards from nothingness. For every manly action you take when someone says you wouldn't, you take one of their mancards. If you say someone is going to do something unmanly and then they do, you get one of their mancards. When you run out of mancards you are obliged to do one of the following:
1. Get a sex change operation
2. Turn gay
3. Do something ridiculously manly, like juggle black bears, chainsaws, and loaded guns while eating fire

There is no maximum to the number of mancards you can have, and you can willingly sacrifice mancards for things, like seeing a chick-flick without a chick.

And don't be roped in, mancards are metaphysical! Don't be duped into buying physical cards that say "Man Card" on them.

See that lit window, that's where I was sound asleep when this happened. Some dumbass (If he wasn't drunk I'd be surprised) hit the sign in front of my complex, and one of these pillars (which are solid brick, not hollow, and are planted about 1.5ft in the ground) fell on my car. I got a phone call from the police around 1:30, went outside and saw this. Apparently the guy tried to leave the scene but my neighbor heard it & called the cops.

I guess that's what is happening. The Allstate lady said I had to pay the deductible but I guess that's not the case. I'm getting my rental car tomorrow which I'll have for the next 2 weeks or so. I got a copy of the police report and apparently he also did $2500 in damage (estimate) to the property (sign, etc.). So he has that plus whatever my car's going to cost, plus towing, plus rental car, plus towing+repair for his car.

Insurance is helpful and reassuring because everything gets taken care of. I had a brick pillar fall on my car and I was able to handle it rationally and calmly because insurance will do everything for me. The repair, tow truck, rental, etc. are all taken care of.

Of course, insurance will destroy the other guy...but for me, I'm happy with it.

I saw Surrogates today, it was really good. Basically, this guy invents "surrogates", very human like robots controlled remotely by a neural interface. Almost the entire world gets them, and people start living through their surrogates, who suffer no illness and are always in perfect health. There are the people who refuse to use surrogates at all, and are basically treated like Native Americans (IE: they live on sovereign reservations around the US [I guess the world too]).

Haha, I don't own that many ties either... two or three, I think. I do know how to tie them the simple way, though. You probably don't have to dress up that often, but it's sort of handy to know how to tie them when you do.

I also bought my first pair of slacks, dress shirt, and a tie for the first time in probably five or six years. I'm still working on the tie. It either comes out long, short, or without the nice little dimple.
I've owned 2 ties in my life. Both, I got somebody else to tie, and to this day I haven't untied either. :D

All I wear are dress shirts, pants, and suits. Unless I'm chilling at night / working out. Then I'm in clothes you'd work out in. lol

Nowadays I pretty much only ever wear dress pants, shirts, and suits. Even on casual Fridays I normally just dress like I do every other day of the week. If I'm going out or running errands on weekends, I wear casual clothes. But if when I come home from work or am staying in on the weekend, I normally just roam around in my birthday suit.

Dude, don't drink until you vomit. It's just... meh. I drink pretty frequently (I probably drink three or four days a week), but I rarely exceed 2-3 drinks, so I don't have to deal with throwing up or having a hangover. And at parties I pace myself -- I may have 5 or 6 in the course of a party, but only over a period of like 3 or 4 hours.

Usually 4 shots and a tall can of beer don't put me out. I'm pretty sure I tried drinking Sailor Jerry's later the evening, and it went up my nose and got absorbed into the bloodstream rapidly, which is why I suddenly woke up on a coach at 10am drunk!

i dont even seem to throw up, but i do wake up with hang overs pretty frequently. on nights that i drink, ill typically have like 8-9 beers before going to the bar where i end up taking probably 3-4 shots, on a slow night. ofcourse, i then leave the bar feeling good, and we'll think it's a great idea to finish off our beer and maybe some random liquor at whatever house we go to. that's why i wake up hung over. i do this about once a week, on friday night. saturday is reserved for being hung over al day.

i usually feel like throwing up but i'll do whatever i can to not do it. i just hate throwing up.

I bought a 13" MBP a few weeks ago and I love it for little things. I carry it around to classes, work on homework, e-mail, IM, etc. It's been really awesome having a laptop that's not a piece of shit again.

However, for extended periods of time of doing useful things (programming, etc), I get pretty frustrated. I have a PC with 2x24" monitors at home, so I use that. It's awesome to have all that "real estate", as you put it.

That's how it used to be when I was in college. But now that I'm out of school and working, I tend to do the opposite, and go into work for several hours on Saturday and/or Sunday to procrastinate cleaning/ doing chores around my apartment. Since my team has been granted special permission to get overtime pay until the end of the year. I figure, if I'm going to procrastinate doing something like cleaning, then I might as well do something that'll increase my annual income, or allow me to leave earlier later in the week or wake up later in the morning and still get my 40/hrs a week in.

I won't claim any kind of expertise, but I think it's important to recognize the risk.

H1N1 is the same type of influenza that caused the 1918 pandemic, which killed 10-50 million people. Given that its first outbreak was relatively mild, it seems silly to rule out the possibility that it could happen this time too.

Post by: Sidoh on October 09, 2009, 07:49:03 pm

Sorry... early morning post. It's 50-100, which is even broader, but it's understandable given the circumstances.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1918_flu_pandemic
The global mortality rate from the 1918/1919 pandemic is not known, but it is estimated that 10% to 20% of those who were infected died. With about a third of the world population infected, this case-fatality ratio means that 3% to 6% of the entire global population died.[12] Influenza may have killed as many as 25 million in its first 25 weeks. Older estimates say it killed 40–50 million people[4] while current estimates say 50 million to 100 million people worldwide were killed.[13] This pandemic has been described as "the greatest medical holocaust in history" and may have killed more people than the Black Death.[14]

I don't know much about Obama's plan that apparently merited him receiving a Noble Peace Prize, but I believe that it's just a hypothetical plan that he has not even successfully finished yet. Hence, trust, like many others I know, are mocking the awarding of the Peace Prize for a situation that may or may not go as planned, instead of examining Obama's merit on an ex post facto basis.

That and trust is just glib.

I won't claim any kind of expertise, but I think it's important to recognize the risk.

H1N1 is the same type of influenza that caused the 1918 pandemic, which killed 10-50 million people. Given that its first outbreak was relatively mild, it seems silly to rule out the possibility that it could happen this time too.

Sure, unless you consider the lack of medical technology they had back then, not to mention the lack of media. We have two clear advantages:

- Our medical technique isn't "drink a bottle of rum and cut it off"
- People actually know what H1N1 is. Unless they made extensive use of carrier pigeons.

And that was your choice, so I have 0 pity for you.

I can take 7:30am classes if I want. I can also take a handful of classes before that. I choose not to.

You probably took linear algebra for engineers, though. Engineering math is not to be confused with real math.

Mathematical linear algebra is far more abstract. 90% of my linear algebra course was proofs. If you've never had exposure to mathematical proofs, it can be rather difficult.

Linear algebra is probably the course that convinced me to major in math. I really enjoyed the abstractness/proofy stuff. All of the courses I had before were for engineers, which were comparatively mundane. It's "here's how to do this calculation, now do it a bunch of times." Proof courses are "here are some theorems," then you're given some seemingly unrelated problems and told "prove: ...".

Admittedly, linear algebra was quite a bit more straightforward than some of the other math courses I've taken (algebra, analysis, etc.), but it was still quite a bit more rigorous than, for example, engineering calculus.

Why on the subject of math, maybe someone can recommend me a good course to take next semester? I've done a lot of engineering math courses, enough for a math minor (I'd have a B.A. in math but I need ~13 hours of foreign language).

Looking at what courses I can pick from I see these:
Modern Geometry - An introduction to geometry including axiomatics, finite geometry, convexity, and classicalEuclidean and non-Euclidean geometry.
Introduction to Functions of a Complex Variable - Complex analytic functions, conformal mappings, complex integrals. Taylor and Laurent series, integration by the method of residues, complex analytic functions and potential theory.
Introduction to Abstract Algebra I - Concepts from set theory; the system of natural numbers, extension from the natural numbers to the integers; semigroups and groups; rings, integral domain and fields
Applied Modern Algebra - Topics from the theory of error correcting codes, including Shannon's theorem, finite fields, families of linear codes such as Hamming, Golay, BCH, and Reed-Solomon codes. Other topics such as Goppa codes, group codes, and cryptography as time permits
Introduction to Analysis I - Review of real number system. Sequences of real numbers. Topology of the real line. Continuity and differentiation of functions of a single variable.
Introduction to Topology - Metric spaces and topological spaces, continuity, connectedness, compactness and related topics.
Partial Differential Equations - First order equations, Cauchy problem for higher order equations, second order equations with constant coefficients, linear hyperbolic equations (Grad. Class)
Wavelets - Fourier analysis on a finite cyclic group, the group of integers, and the real line. The matching pursuit algorithm. The Poisson summation formula and sampling. Multi-resolution analysis, various wavelet constructions (including those of Daubechies and Meyer) and filter banks. An introduction to the MATLAB wavelet toolbox. (Grad. Class)

Are any of these really enlightening classes or cover subjects that are neat? I'm eyeballing the Wavelets class...

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Sidoh on October 17, 2009, 06:21:58 pm

Of course it depends on what you want. If you like pure math, then of course something like topology would be ideal.

I'm really enjoying analysis, and I think I would've liked algebra more had I had a different professor. Still lots of fun, though. Those are both rather akin to "pure math" too.

DiffEQ and Wavelets are both kind of applied subjects. Useful, but not the kind of math I like.

The fact that any of them are graduate classes is mostly irrelevant. We did more in my second semester of undergraduate algebra than the graduate algebra course does.

Unless you need some grad courses atm, I would take one of these. Topology, Algebra, Real Analysis, Complex Analysis, Geometry (in order from most desired to desired).

The complex variable course was my favourite of those listed. The topics in 'intro to topology' and 'analysis I' were covered in one course, where I went. You can even see in the descriptions that there is overlap... it seems strange that they have separated out the material into two different courses.

Of those, complex variables would be my first choice, and analysis I would be my second (presuming I did not have much math background). Analysis I, without topology, looks really bare though. I consider things like compact sets, connectedness, metric spaces, etc., important parts of an introductory analysis course.

I was supposed to wake up at 7am. Today I woke up at 10am instead. I was supposed to go into lab today to complete some MATLAB-based portion of a lab. Seeing as how I was going to wake up early to do this, I did it from home instead, with the magic of ssh and X11 forwarding. What would have taken an hour took 10 minutes. Literally. I have to do some simple set theory questions now, a lab for physics at 2pm, and then some physics homework due tomorrow at 5pm. Then, we have an exchange with some sorority, so I can celebrate the beginning of my weekend. :)

I have a HP Lasejet 6P for free if anyone wants it. I haven't had a single ping on my two craigslist's listings, probably because I was too lazy to get a picture.

It's in good, working condition though..just needs a new toner. This printer was given to me for free 7 years ago and I took it on the condition that I'd used it until the toner ran out. The toner is just now running out and I debated for about a month whether it was worth it to me to buy the replacement toner or not :P.

Anyways, if someone wants it all they need to pay is shipping / pick it up, otherwise it's getting recycled.

So my internet connection has been messing up lately, when I try to connect to websites it says the connection is untrusted. Even on trusted websites (like my colleges login, Facebook, etc.) It says that if the sites I'm trying to connect to are trusted somebody could be tampering with my connection. Any thoughts or suggestions on what to do?

I think that means that you're not able to verify the SSL certificates through a certificate authority. You can download the certificate without allowing for it to be verified. Do that, and post what you see.

I think one of two things is happening (and iago should be able to elaborate or correct me if I'm wrong):
1) You're not getting to the CA for whatever reason.
2) The certificates you're getting are illegitimate.

I've had issues with Firefox over a few weeks about how it won't resolve SSL certificates or won't connect to the CA. A hard reinstall (including removal of ALL user settings upon uninstall) fixed it.

Heh, thanks. We'll see. Apparently five interviews is about the upper bound of what they do.

It was a bit excessive, though. The questions they asked were all very easy, but they all wanted me to write code on a whiteboard, which is never a clean process.

If anyone here ever interviews with Microsoft, the best advice I can give is know your data structures. One of the interview questions was best solved using a Trie (26-ary tree where each edge is a letter) or a DAWG (directed acyclic word graph, compressed version of Trie), and two separate interviews involved writing C to do various operations on an n-ary tree.

I'll post (more specifically) the questions they asked and elaborate on the experience if anyone is interested.

All questions are programming questions. You're asked to write code on a whiteboard that is pretty close to functioning. I was given five questions throughout the day, but I'll only ask the ones that weren't completely mundane (they're all straightforward).

1. Write a method to draw a tree given the following definition of a tree:

Code: [Select]

typedef struct _TreeNode
{
  TreeNode *firstChild;
  TreeLink *children;
  void *data;
} TreeNode;

typedef struct _TreeLink
{
  TreeNode *child;
  TreeLink *nextChild;
} TreeLink;

And the following method that renders a node on the screen at position (x,y). You can assume an infinite canvas, and it doesn't matter where the tree is positioned, as long as the nodes are given a "spacer" of 1 unit (each node occupies 1sq unit).

Code: [Select]

void *DrawNode(TreeNode *node, float x, float y);
2. Given two pointers to arbitrary nodes in a tree, write a method that finds their first common ancestor. You can assume the tree is balanced.

3. Write some C code to parse an INI file.

4. You're tasked with writing the history functionality for a browser. You're primarily concerned with returning all entries that start with some substring. What data structures would you use to store the history?

I hadn't either. I kinda came up with it in the middle of the interview. I started drawing a tree on the board like "I'm thinking of a tree where every edge is a letter..." and he interrupted and said "Yeah, that's called a Trie".

Well, she probably wasn't talking about a DAWG. The obvious way of compressing a Trie is to not include edges that aren't used. The guy who was interviewing me hadn't even heard of them. A DAWG compresses a Trie by turning it into a directed acyclic graph (and in most cases, makes it not a tree at all anymore). The idea is to make any two nodes with the same parent point to the same node if they both have a link to the same letter.

Data structures are the bread and butter of efficient programming, though. Most fancy algorithms have fancy data structures behind them.

All I use my laptop for is internet, music, pictures, homework, and photoshop. I have a Macbook Pro right now that I'd like to sell, buy a Windows laptop and get a ZuneHD (I want the ZuneHD.) I still like my Mac but I'd rather have an iMac because I find the Macbook screen is too small for Photoshop and Illustrator, thus I often use an iMac on campus anyway. I'm not sure how much my Macbook would sell for if I put it on eBay, but if I could sell it and buy the Windows computer and have some extra cash to put toward either the Zune or iMac I think it could be a good deal. I really like the Zune software, almost enough for it to fuel me to switch back to Win 7 at least on my laptop.

Two reasons. I used it exclusively with my Macbook (while in my room) until I spilled a drink on my wireless keyboard, so after that happened it was awkward using both the laptop and the monitor. The second reason is that the color on the Samsung does not match the color on the Apple display, and that bothers me especially when it's side-by-side. But 15.4 inches just isn't large enough for me to do what I need to do in Photoshop. I'm not really in a rush to buy anything new since I'm pretty broke, but I recognize the value of my mac is continually dropping.

I was on an airport shuttle with a bunch of bros today. It was about a fifteen minute drive, and they talked about working out the whole time. At first, I was annoyed, but I slowly started feeling pity for them. Nothing to talk about except working out and gyms. Very depressing.

Untrue!

You can go to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Bangledash, etc, where drinking is entirely illegal!

Or, you can go to Delhi, India, where the drinking age is 25!

In other news, I have a 6 page paper to write for tomorrow that I have been procrastinating on and is worth 20% of my grade for this class. Thankfully my grade on everything else is already somewhere approaching 100 so all I have to do is not be awful and I should still pull off an easy A.

Tomorrow: linear algebra final exam (bright and early), logic/proofs exam later, study study physics.
Thursday: physics final (AND I'M FINALLY DONE W/ E&M!!!), study some basic data structures so I can ace my DS final Friday.
Friday: Data Structures final (I WANT THAT A), and I'm DONE! 8)

Kill some time Friday, go home Saturday, relax.

We got a couple of inches on Saturday..it was like being a kid again. College town, everyone's out in the snow and in a good mood. I hope we get some more this weekend since it's all melted by now...but snow is beautiful in the mountains, and in general. Maybe not to you guys since you get so much it becomes a hazard, but a few inches is always nice to wake up to.

Well around here once we get our first decent snowfall, we usually don't see the ground again for 3+ months (and I assume its worse in canadia and such). it starts to lose its appeal after a while.

Canada's about the same as MN, from what I understand.

I don't mind the snow that much, although you're right about it being a hazard. My biggest issue, though, is that the fun of playing in the snow is inversely proportional to the risk of frostbite.

Cold sucks!

This past week and a half or so has been going really well for me (knock on wood). The snow definitely added to the good vibes. On Monday I met this girl, and it's the first girl that I've met and liked in a long time. We hit it off instantly and are having dinner next week and maybe going skiing over winter break, assuming it all works out. She's really ambitious, intelligent, has a good personality, & really pretty. She reminds me a lot of a young Laura Bush, and she'd be OK with that comparison. It's weird to say but it was really one of those "at first sight" encounters, and it was mutual. The only thing bringing down life right now is exams, but even those won't be too bad.

Aye, linear algebra without partial credit would have meant instant death for me. Silly arithmetic mistakes can completely screw you over, especially if you make them early on when solving a multi-step/part problem.

The majority of my math professors banned the use of calculators on quizzes, tests, and exams. I'd probably have dropped my math minor if they also banned partial credit.

My linear algebra professor was alright, and didn't penalize cascade errors as completely wrong (which was awesome). Overall, though, I thought Linear was pretty easy.

I had a programming professor treat cascade errors initially as all wrong, until he realized 80% of the class would fail with that. I don't know how he was as a professor, I never paid attention during lectures, but by the sounds of it, he was fairly crap. All the assignments were straight from the book, too. Complete with solutions. :\

These apples are really juicy...

I've had about 1,000 calories in the last two days. I'm starting to feel like shit. I really need to go grocery shopping didn't go today because my car's brakes need more fluid and spark plugs need replacing. Will be bringing in to the dealership tomorrow to get serviced... going to cost me money so I'm going to eat as little as I can until I get paid in two weeks.

In reality, I need not be so frugal... could probably spend a grand a month on frivolous expenditures and be fine... but the only thing keeping me motivated seems to be watching the money in my bank accounts increase, but the more I spend the less I see it increase :(. That's about all that makes me happy nowadays... money. It's a bit sad. My life is so monotonous. I really need to move someplace where there's not just rednecks, people 10+ years older than me, and where there's more people my age. I miss college. I think I'm depressed.

Foods probably the one thing you should be spending on. If you have energy (From good foods and a balanced diet) you're going to be in a better mood, more confident, happier, more productive, and less depressed. But monotony makes anybody down in the dumps, just fight through it and relish in the future luxuries you'll have from working hard now.

Edit: Also go buy something new for your apartment, freshen it up a bit. Something bright. I like to add something or rearrange things when I'm in a bad mood, the change usually cheers me up. Also maybe a new outfit or at least a new tie. If you look like a million bucks you're going to feel like a million bucks, and then make a million bucks. Good luck.

On a similar note, though, I spent a good part of the weekend organizing my stuff.

I'm a bit surprised you've never had occasion to wear a tie... Here are just some general situations in which I wear ties:

1. Job interviews. The one interview to which I didn't wear a tie I didn't get a job. Haha. Not that I'm betting that's why, but still. It helps looked polished.
2. Underneath a sweater -- a sharp knot can really enhance a sweater/dress shirt look.
3. Weddings.
4. Graduations/other formal occasions.

I'm guessing we have different fashion styles, and you have no interest in having many forthcoming interviews.. At least a few different ties are nice to have for weddings though; in Indian cultures (or at least mine), we usually get invited to several weddings a year. And I can only imagine as I get older friends' weddings will call for more.

It's a religious ceremony that is effectively meaningless. The only meaning it has is what we put into it -- it's only because we've been told growing up that we're supposed to get married that we all think we're supposed to get married. I have no problem with people loving each other and living together and raising a family together and all that -- it's just the marriage ceremony that's silly.

Perhaps that's enough for a lot of people, but it's silly in my mind.

And don't even get me started on diamonds.... (did I post the story about diamonds here? I thought I did, but I don't see it from a quick look)

(I realize that a lot of people strongly disagree with my views on marriage, and that's fine.)

This suggests that graduation ceremonies, proms, birthdays, etc. are all 'effectively meaningless' as well. Of course they're only meaningful because we've been raised in a culture that assigns meaning to them. That doesn't mean there is no value in the events, and it doesn't mean they're silly.

Especially if you're being interviewed by engineers, I don't think they care if you dress up. In fact, when I have dressed up, they usually make a point to say that they don't really care how you dress.

One of my bosses was telling me how a candidate they had for a position was slouching, didn't have a tie, etc. We're not a formal businessplace, overall, and most of the time my bosses roam around in jeans and t-shirts. But I do think dressing up for interviews is important to at least make a strong first impression. Obviously dressing up won't get you a job, and not dressing up won't inherently deny you a job, but having a strong presence (good posture, good handshake, good attire) at least helps.

Just my opinion, YMMV. It's worked out for me thus far. *shrug*

Being charismatic is important, but I don't agree that dressing up necessarily is. I'm sure there are plenty of jobs where not dressing up is harmful, but none of the interviews I've had have this property.

Not worrying about it has worked out for me so far. I've had some pretty decent offers. :P

This suggests that graduation ceremonies, proms, birthdays, etc. are all 'effectively meaningless' as well. Of course they're only meaningful because we've been raised in a culture that assigns meaning to them. That doesn't mean there is no value in the events, and it doesn't mean they're silly.

I agree, they are.

But people don't spend thousands and thousands of dollars on them. As a result, they're much more harmless.

If weddings were treated more like birthdays where you just invite friends over, buy some food and liquor, and do it, then I wouldn't be so much against them. I'm more against the whole self-perpetuating industry than the ceremony itself.

Birthdays are more frequent than weddings, though. Over the span of an average life, I'd be surprised if a person spent more on the average wedding than on the sum of all of their birthdays.

That's true, but there isn't (really) an industry built on taking all your money for your birthday. Not counting the liquor industry, of course. Anything that's been commercialized to the extent of marriage should be closely examined.

That's a good point about the sum spent on birthdays, although one-time costs tend to concern me more than costs distributed across a lifetime.

Also, like I said, marriage is essentially a religious ceremony. There are ways to celebrate your love for each other that don't involve the whole marriage thing.

Okay then... examine it. I'm not a fan of traditional weddings either -- the ones that occur in a church, have a pastor, etc. However, I don't see any problem with the idea of marriage, or the celebration that is the wedding.

A wedding is sometimes a religious ceremony (but by no means necessarily is). The modern concept of marriage is (or at least can be) entirely secular. I don't accept that as any sort of legitimate reason to oppose marriage. It's a good reason to not like religious wedding ceremonies, but that's not equivalent to marriage.

Also, sure, there are other ways to "celebrate your love," but that doesn't mean that marriage isn't a good one.

Why?

Because it's an all or nothing (all-in?) situation. I can decide from year to year if I want to/can afford to celebrate my birthday. Years when I can afford it, I have it; if I can't, I do something else. With a wedding, whether or not you can afford it, people still feel the need to have one and generate debt.

It seems that it comes down to how we define marriage/weddings, really. Probably the nature of our upbringing/where we lived.

Whether or not it's a cheap or expensive marriage/wedding, though, I still think they're pointless. And yes, equally as pointless as celebrating birthdays/christmas/everything else. :)

Why are they "pointless?" Sure, the date is completely arbitrary, and the reason isn't much less arbitrary, but it's an excuse to celebrate. And I don't know about you, but celebrating stuff is fun. Many people I know would probably cite their wedding day as one of the happiest days of their life. That doesn't seem pointless to me.

Totally pwned my end of the year job performance evaluation... technically called the Performance Management Process (PMP). Mostly 4's (on a 1-4 scale) and scattered 3's, with 4's captioned as something like "far exceeds expectations and goals".

All the team leads gave me words of praise in the eval, with comments like "... work exceeds the quality and level indicative of someone of his experience and duties", various use of adjectives like "diligent" and verbs like "impressed" and shizzle.

Not like I was expecting anything less though. :P

Foods probably the one thing you should be spending on. If you have energy (From good foods and a balanced diet) you're going to be in a better mood, more confident, happier, more productive, and less depressed. But monotony makes anybody down in the dumps, just fight through it and relish in the future luxuries you'll have from working hard now.

Edit: Also go buy something new for your apartment, freshen it up a bit. Something bright. I like to add something or rearrange things when I'm in a bad mood, the change usually cheers me up. Also maybe a new outfit or at least a new tie. If you look like a million bucks you're going to feel like a million bucks, and then make a million bucks. Good luck.

Yeah, I went out and bought food today. Already have a shit load of nice dress clothes two weeks ago. I tend to over dress at my work, the work environment I work is pretty informal unless the customer is around. We have nerf guns in our lab, fully automatic ones (battery powered) and more.

Post by: while1 on December 15, 2009, 07:01:30 am

Actually, if you look at marriage in the historical context, marriage was about power, influence, financial interests, etc. Things like 'love' came secondary. Religion played a large role in marriage historically because religion had a huge role in the everyday life of all social classes back in the day. The fact that the religious clergy were often in bed with those of power, meant they were the ones often with power (see Catholicism throughout the centuries). However, these days religion is secondary in most societies and marriage has become more of a vestigial tradition, than a necessity. It's one of the few means of power religion has left to leverage.

The Catholic church and religion in general has greatly influenced and shaped the patriarchal society we have today. Marriage was traditionally one of these ways of reinforcing a patriarchal society. It's a highly sexist practice (and not in the sense of gay marriage). i.e. Men having to buy the women the rings, men having to spend 2-months salary on an engagement ring, the dowry, etc.

In fact, I think as a society, the reason why divorce rates are increasing so much reflects the values of people today and how they've come to value marriage as less of a necessity for survival. I haven't done any research on this, but it's plausible that since the era of women's rights and the movement towards equality amongst the sexes; marriage has only become more and more obsolete. No longer must women depend on marriage for financial stability, power, influence, etc. or feel bound by societal pressures.

Granted, I still think single parent families are at a greater disadvantage than those coming from a traditional two parent family. I believe that having two parents instead of just one is more efficient and plays an important role in raising a child to be contributing member of society. Of course marriage is not necessary. It could be two gays/ lesbians raising a child or two heterosexuals, I don't give a rat's ass. Two parents is generally going to be better than one when raising and providing for a child IMO. I still offend many single parents with this belief, but I think deep down they know I'm right :P. The statistics are on my side anyways.

Someday I'm going to run as a libertarian for public office somewhere.

I'm more against marriage, than weddings. I think complete extravagance and excessiveness is a lot of fun.

Marriage annoys me though. The only time it vaguely makes sense, is if you want children and you don't want them to be troubled by having unmarried parents -- which might be the case, simply because it is abnormal. So I would basically be conforming to a stupid societal expectation, for the sake of someone else who doesn't have a choice.

But marriage because of love? Why? If the relationship is truly so great, is a marriage necessary to keep it together? If it is going to fall apart without marriage, isn't it better that it fall apart?

Besides, I think I could love multiple women, and I wouldn't want to be restricted. Why should I be?

So I decided to stay at school for the weekend and just found out we're going to be getting about 8 inches starting with heavy snow this afternoon and lighter snow tomorrow and some Sunday. It's going to be a fun weekend, except that pretty much everybody is gone.

Funny that you have gotten (and are getting) more snow than us this year.

We've had virtually no snow so far, except a couple small sprinkles.

I LOVE OPEN BARS. BEST INVENTION/CONCEPT EVER.

OMFG. 6 DRINKS IN 1.5 HOURS AND NOT WASTED. Then again, this is relatively low considering I've become a lightweight since exiting college. However, it's relatively high considering I'm also Asian. My tolerance is higher than the average Asian.

I don't know why I like snow so much...this is a lot of snow and I walked about a mile and a half in it last night, not the easiest stroll ever. But still, it's nice. I'm in the mountains and the towns pretty much empty since we're on break. It's silent but calm, the air is crisp and fresh, and it stays light all night.

It looks like the storm has shifted directions some so now instead of being in the middle we're just catching the bottom part. They've changed the prediction to only 1-3 more inches of scattered snow throughout the day, and sun tomorrow. Originally it was going to snow non-stop until tomorrow afternoon. In either case I plan to get out in it today. It sucks walking in it though.

Inglourious Basterds sucked if you're not a fan of absolutely genius dialogue and plot.

Really though, I feel the best of any art form is an acquired taste. I understand if you haven't learned to love the subtleties of every specific art -- who has?

I do like genius dialog and plot....which Inglorious Basterds doesn't have. It tries to, but it's from concentrate (but made with 100% real juice) at the same time. I'd rather watch The Counterfeiters over Inglorious Basterds any day.

The Counterfeiters? (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0813547/) That movie was excellent. I watched it for a class my senior year of high school; it was probably my favorite film of the bunch.

All of the movies I had to watch for that were good, now that I think about it. The Counterfeiters (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0813547/), Tsotsi (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468565/), Shake Hands With The Devil (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472562/)/Hotel Rwanda (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0395169/), and a few others that slips my mind... but I watched close to 20 hours of movies, if I remember correctly, to pass that course.

"It's an acquired taste" is one of the more frustrating things someone can say to me. While I'm sure there exist foods, art, etc. where this might be the case for a specific person, to assume the reason that someone does not like something is they are too uncultured or unsophisticated to recognize its greatness is snobby, obnoxious, and rather silly.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: iago on December 28, 2009, 03:58:07 pm

I totally disagree with that. Anything that requires some prior knowledge to appreciate properly can be considered an acquired taste.

Music is a great example. If you play one of the great composers to a person who has no understanding of music, they're going to be bored looking for the lyrics. But if they take the time to understand the subtleties of music and composition and all that, they're going to appreciate it.

Likewise with movies -- there was a time when I was bored by independent/low budget films. I mean, they don't have the special effects or action or anything of the big movies. But after I started listening to commentaries on various movies and understanding how movies are made, I learned to appreciate the small ones for their art.

There are a lot of examples where things are boring on the surface, but are more interesting and compelling with some background knowledge.

So yeah, there are a lot of scenarios where people aren't going to like things because they don't have the background knowledge to appreciate them properly. "uncultured" or "unsophisticated" are stupid words, because "culture" and "sophistication" aren't really defined. I'd say "ignorant" is a better word, but it has negative connotations that I don't really want, as does "uneducated". I don't know what the best word to use it. :)

I felt the movie was so great that everyone with a taste for subtle dialogue would love it. He's made it clear he has this taste, and still did not enjoy it. If this is true, then I was wrong. This is where the discussion would have ended; no accusations necessary.

I contend that there are an equal number of things that people don't like because there's nothing about them that they like. I could watch a play a hundred times and still not like plays. Sure, there exist things where people will miss details they'd find desirable the first time they experience it, but that doesn't mean there are many examples of this, and it certainly doesn't mean everything is like this.

I'm not really meaning to accuse you of doing this -- it was more of a rant that was sparked by the language you used.

I went back home to VA for 6 days, came back Tuesday and have noticed that my lower-back is starting to ache again... whereas it stopped aching when I was at home, but did ache before I went home. I think it has to do with the cheap quality of my mattress. My parents turned my old bedroom into the guest room and have a quality mattress that I slept on... I seriously would have stayed in bed all day if I could do everything in bed, haha.

I thought that the aches and pains in my muscles and joints were solely due to side effects of the Accutane (aka isotretinoin) I'm taking because I've been getting aches and pains in my knees and other joints that I've never had until I began taking it. I guess it could be a combination of both the cheap shitty mattress I have in my apartment and the acne medication.

It's not extreme lower-back pain, but it sure makes me uneasy working out and reduces the amount of physical activity I can comfortably do. I'll have to discuss this with my dermatologist in a couple weeks. She mentioned the side effects before and said the higher dosage of Accutane she put me on might need to be reduced... but I'd be willing to stay on the high dosage since the medication is working twice as fast as when I was on it senior year of high school... as long as the aches and pains aren't going to cause permanent damage to my body, and my liver and kidneys are still checking out fine in my monthly bloodwork (the requirements for taking Accutane are 10x stricter than 5 years ago, luckily I have good health insurance).

I'm thinking about investing in one of those NASA-invented memory foam mattress toppers to make my relatively cheap mattress more comfortable.

I thought that the aches and pains in my muscles and joints were solely due to side effects of the Accutane (aka isotretinoin) I'm taking because I've been getting aches and pains in my knees and other joints that I've never had until I began taking it. I guess it could be a combination of both the cheap shitty mattress I have in my apartment and the acne medication.

It's not extreme lower-back pain, but it sure makes me uneasy working out and reduces the amount of physical activity I can comfortably do. I'll have to discuss this with my dermatologist in a couple weeks. She mentioned the side effects before and said the higher dosage of Accutane she put me on might need to be reduced... but I'd be willing to stay on the high dosage since the medication is working twice as fast as when I was on it senior year of high school... as long as the aches and pains aren't going to cause permanent damage to my body, and my liver and kidneys are still checking out fine in my monthly bloodwork (the requirements for taking Accutane are 10x stricter than 5 years ago, luckily I have good health insurance).

I'm thinking about investing in one of those NASA-invented memory foam mattress toppers to make my relatively cheap mattress more comfortable.

I don't understand....

..... what exactly can you not to in bed?

I'm sure this suggestion will be shrugged off like it is by most people, but you should seriously consider yoga.

One of the reasons my guitar player doesn't play live anymore is because of back problems caused by jumping around on stage with the weight of a guitar on his left shoulder for 20 years. Knowing that, I visited the chiropractor requesting some preventive information. He refused to tell me anything worthwhile, until finally he understood I didn't have insurance and couldn't regularly visit him even if I wanted.

After realizing he couldn't milk me for money, he told me yoga is the best physical activity one could do to take care of one's joints, back, circulation, and muscle. And he was right. Anytime I feel pain in my back for whatever reason, yoga will always fix it. I always notice it most when I lie in bed that night and feel how immediately comfortable I am.

And yoga certainly isn't for women only. It's not so much for building muscle, as much as it's for taking care of full body health. I know many ASU football players that take yoga and say it should be a requirement for the entire team, because it's a very different kind of difficult.

If you're interested, I can help you get a hold of the DVD I use.

Tempurpedic was not invented by NASA. It's just "NASA Certified Space-Age Technology", which basically means NASA was like "hm, k".

Yeah, I went ahead and bought a Serta 4" thick w/ 4lb/sqft density mattress topper. Only thing I realized afterwards is that I'm wondering is if my sheets will fit over it in addition to my mattress...

Insecurity? What am I insecure about? If I were into yoga and bed linens, I'd have no problem with calling myself a little gay. There's nothing wrong with it; I'm simply vocalizing some observations.

Uh... as for the tights, I don't think they exactly 'work against' you. Don't ballerinas wear tights?

"
But she caught me on the counter (It wasn't me)
Saw me kissing on the sofa (It wasn't me)
I even had her in the shower (It wasn't me)
She even caught me on camera (It wasn't me)

She saw the marks on my shoulder (It wasn't me)
Heard the words that I told her (It wasn't me)
Heard the scream get louder (It wasn't me)
She stayed until it was over

Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this, we were both butt naked
Bangin' on the bathroom floor "

Oh damn, I always thought it meant they don't like guys who think they're all that. I guess it's the "themselves" part in it that confused me.

I've never actually had someone tell me I take myself too seriously. I just realized that I didn't completely know what this rather common phrase really meant until I was purging my spam box last night.

It's always baffled me why people say things like "knows how to have fun" and "likes to have fun". Fun is so subjective.

Yeah it's subjective but there are things that the average person is going to find fun. Plus if you don't find the same things to be fun you're not going to be compatible anyway.

I don't like those descriptors, because they sound too keen. But it just means they're not going to be all grim when they meet you.

I've had that happen to me before, on a date. The girl basically just frowned and acted sullen the whole time. Sometimes major extroverts can make me feel uncomfortable, and introverted. But at the same time, it's a drag if someone acts like they're having the worst time of their life before anything even happens.

Greedy fucking assholes at my school have been trying to make me pay them money that I don't owe them. If it wasn't absolutely impossible to read their bill I might have been able to figure out the problem sooner. I've been emailing them trying to get them to fix it but they haven't been much help, and they apparently don't like to answer their phone. But today I woke up to two lovely back to back emails.

I was in the same boat. I wished for classes then I went to add them and they are like sorry but due to financial aid we cannot let you add a class.
so I call and they are like you will need to pay the $3000 so your hold is lifted and I am like WTF that is why I got a loan. and they go well your loan has not been disbursed yet and until it is we cannot lift your hold. ??? so I had to go in and pay for $200 of the tuition and they let it through.

I'm getting some money next Friday, and I've decided to get a GeForce 7600GS and a Zalman FV700 AL/CU fan. Total cost will be $110 + tax. The decision is mostly based on my 5900 SE being a hunk of shit with a shoddy fan, and missing 2 of its 3 heatsinks. I only have an AGP slot (no PCIe :\), which is why I'm not getting the GT.

[edit]
The fact that I'm now receiving BSOD before Windows can boot, even into safe mode, telling me that nv4_disp.dll has failed and to check any new hardware is also a key factor. I've had 2 solid days of perfect operation since my reformat and now my video card is being a jerkface. But its fan still runs...so....I don't even know anymore.

Are insects animals? What criterion is it you use to specify whether or not it's okay to kill when it's beneficial to you, again? Sentience?

Anyway, probably not the place for that, eh? I have no problem with people eating dogs. Go ahead. They're probably tasty. Honestly, though, I don't think it's that unlikely that I become a vegetarian sometime in the future. With few exceptions, I find beef gross. I'm still in love with most forms of chicken, but I tend to get things that are either heavily seasoned or don't have any meat at all. I don't like fish or any other sort of sea food. I'm not a big fan of pork, either. I like it a lot less chicken, but more than beef.

I had a vegetarian burger (with veggie meat patty and all) on the Amtrak a few weeks ago, and it was delicious. I have no idea what it was made of, but it had chipotle sauce and corn. Very yum yum yummy.

My favourite ones (although they've been kinda lacking lately...) are from a local restaurant. The primary ingredients are sunflower seeds, beets, tofu, black beans, corn chips, and various kinds of sauces. They sound gross, but they're actually really good. They're also gluten free for what that's worth (I seem to remember somebody here mentioning that they have Celiac).

Are you talking about an actual veggie patty, or just a burger with no patty?

Most of the fast food places here have veggie burgers on the menu, but some of them contain cheese/eggs and others have milk/egg in their buns. KFC, for example, has a veggie patty that's vegan and actually pretty good, but their bun isn't vegan so you have to get it on a wrap. Also, they put mayo on it by default.

I'd be willing to try it, actually. While I find the taste of some mushrooms objectionable (pizza mushrooms, for example), I've been 'forced' to try dishes with mushroom in it recently, and some of it is actually surprisingly tasty.

I still really hate fish, eggs, raw onions and excessive garlic, but I think most of my food phobias have been lifted by trying them in a proper setting.

Well, I solve the problem by not going for fast food, ever. It's crap.

The closest thing I eat is Subway and Quiznos, but even then it's only when I'm on vacation.

As for normal restaurants, any good restaurant (for my definition of good) has selections for people with food allergies (vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, etc). Places that don't, suck.

But like you said, any restaurant (not counting fast food or other crap places) will have something, even if it isn't on the menu. I've had a lot of luck with just asking.

I think you completely missed the sarcasm in my post. I'm not as much of an ignorant asshole as it must seem, I'm sure plenty of the members here who have personally met me can vouch.

On the current topic: my main problem with people's choice of eating vegitarian or vegan is that they go about it in an unhealthy way. Many people fail to suplement their diet and don't get the proper nutriants from their food choices to stay healthy.

I don't eat any kind of supplements, but I'm normally cognizant about which nutrients I need and which ones I'm missing.

I agree, though, that a lot of people aren't. But that goes for omnivores as much as veg'ns, though. Most people I know have *terrible* eating habits. The amount of empty crap and preservatives/additives in every day food is sickening. At least when I became vegan, I started reading packages and altering my eating habits to all-natural foods.

There's actually a great book about the situation called <a href='http://www.amazon.ca/Defense-Food-Michael-Pollan/dp/1594201455'>In Defense of Food</a> by Michael Pollan. His argument isn't that everybody should be vegans, because he isn't, but that you should strive to eat as much food as possible that looks like food. Food that comes from the ground/nature, not from boxes. If food has to advertise "low fat" or "we're healthy!", it probably isn't. I totally agree with him -- I've only read the first few pages of the book, but I love it.

Well, I solve the problem by not going for fast food, ever. It's crap.

The closest thing I eat is Subway and Quiznos, but even then it's only when I'm on vacation.

As for normal restaurants, any good restaurant (for my definition of good) has selections for people with food allergies (vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, etc). Places that don't, suck.

But like you said, any restaurant (not counting fast food or other crap places) will have something, even if it isn't on the menu. I've had a lot of luck with just asking.

Fast food has its role. Try being a college student studying at midnight.. not very many options for food at that time.

Subway and Quiznos are quite good. A healthy way to get your vegetables in. I love subs.

Ah, you and I are lucky being on this side of the Atlantic. Almost every other "civilized" (most of Europe and Asia) country (select high-vegetarian countries excluded, e.g. India) you can't really live as a vegetarian if you go out ever. One of the reasons that I wouldn't want to travel very long.

---

Eating healthy as a vegan or vegetarian isn't difficult. You just have to actually keep track/plan out where your sources of protein are coming from. The only supplement I use is a protein powder that helps when I work out. Other than that I'm fairly healthy without needing outside assistance.

They aren't especially healthy. There's a lot of sugar in their bread and preservatives in their vegetables. Part of having cheap and fast food means compromising the healthiness of said food. Also, because they're more or less empty of a lot of the nutrients you need, I always find myself hungry after eating subs, and I end up snacking on crap.

I don't normally think of getting protein specifically, and I definitely don't plan it, but I'm aware of it as part of the whole.

Also, the average human gets way more protein than they need (or than is healthy).

It's delicious and cheap. Part of why most people fail at being vegetarian or being vegan is they think they have to be nazis. And that's part of why people hate eating with vegetarians/vegans. It seems like you would throw a fit with your friends if they all wanted to get fast food.

As it is, you're cutting out hundreds of calories and several grams of fat from not eating meat. A little extra sugar and things isn't an awful thing. Most likely you're just burning it off by being alive.

There are specific types of proteins that different nuts/legumes offer and they're all vital (some moreso than others) but most vegetarians/vegans aren't aware of it. Yes, protein is important as a whole, but it's crucial, especially in adolescence, to get all the protein necessary.

You'd be surprised. :P I'll generally go anywhere, but there's some places I won't go because they have nothing on the menu. Sometimes, though, I'll just eat first and come hang out, or smuggle in granola bars (which aren't great for you either), or something like that.

One nice thing about being grown up, though, is that fast food generally means picking it up on the way somewhere. So a lot of times when people come over, they'll pick up fast food and eat at my place (or wherever we're going). Or I'll pick up something and eat it at my friend's place. Unless it's a special occasion, we don't normally go for random food.

Protein, especially from animals, is linked to all kinds of diseases (from brain stuff to heart disease to a bunch of types of cancer). In small amounts, it's required and beneficial, but in the amount eaten by the average American/Canadian, it's dangerously unhealthy.

Milk is still animal-based, though.

Small amounts of protein are fine and healthy. Your body is designed to drink human milk for the first ~5 years of life, and it's completely beneficial.

Your body isn't designed to consume milk from other animals, though, and not when you're older. And to editorialize a bit, I don't know how people CAN drink milk from animals without gagging. The whole concept is nasty. :)

I think onions are just one of these things that I've had more that one bad experience with. Maybe the kind where you eat something and get sick soon afterward, and then you hate the thing you ate.

Garlic is okay in moderation, but too much is nearly as disgusting as onions.

I don't find the taste of either gross (although they're not pleasant), but I think that they tend to distract from flavors that I find better (for example, dressing in salads, etc.) I'm also vehemently against having a flavor lingering in my mouth for days at a time.

Yes, our bodies need protein. And if you're treating your body the way nature designed it, the protein you get from your food is enough.

Vegetable-based protein is what's best for the body, and it doesn't come with the strings attached that animal protein is. Animal protein is protein that's created by animals. Eating protein created by animals in small amounts is ok, but too much increases your risk of bad stuff.

It's a great school if you're in a greek organization, otherwise it's probably insanely boring.

Artificial:
1. made by human skill; produced by humans

Uhh, yeah. Milk isn't artificial. In fact, if you stretch the definition, human milk is closer to artificial than cow milk.

How is milk "artificial"?
Our bodies are designed to drink *human* milk, until you're roughly 5 years old. Our bodies aren't designed to drink milk that came out of animals, nor are they designed to do so when you're older.
Artificial:
1. made by human skill; produced by humans

Uhh, yeah. Milk isn't artificial. In fact, if you stretch the definition, human milk is closer to artificial than cow milk.

You're arguing semantics by picking on the terminology I used. Get over it. :P

Eating protein created by animals in small amounts is ok, but too much increases your risk of bad stuff.

So... the protein we make ourselves... is bad for ourselves?

A lot...

Fecal matter is a good example. Just because something is *in* your body, doesn't mean it can pass through your digestive system/etc without harm.

Your argument makes very little sense. :P

Your body can convert your own muscle into energy when needed, and in fact, will prefer that method in times of desperation. Fecal matter? Nope. So what is the difference there?

If the human body was not designed to consume meats, you wouldn't have the various enzymes that facilitate the absorption and decomposition of meats. They would, like certain poisons and chemicals, go through the body unchanged and instead be ~~poisonous~~toxic ((yay i remembered the word i wanted to use!)). Additionally, you would have no use for the canine and incisors that have been evolved into the human mouth.

While I'd readily admit that the average vegan probably has a much healthier diet than I, I don't think this is any sort of good argument. I'm fine with you using it to justify your being vegan, but considering an equally healthy diet is easily possible without the vegan restrictions, I don't think it (unless you suplement it) is a good argument.

The moral argument is more reasonable, but I don't agree with it.

Please note that throughout the thread, I've tried not to push a vegan agenda. I didn't say not to eat meat/milk/etc, I've said to not eat *much* of them. Although I don't agree with eating animals, I know that others don't take the same stance. That's why I promote a healthy balance.

My point has really been, animal protein has been shown to cause bad stuff. Period. The rest has been arguments about language/other side-channel issues.

I am (obviously) not a doctor, but I do know that the human body has trouble metabolizing meat. Yes, we can break down meat and absorb it, but so can herbivores (cows come to mind -- they're frequently fed meat (each other) on farms). At the same time, my understanding is that, like herbivores, we have longer intestines that work well for vegetable matter, because we're able to extract the maximum amount of nutrients from it. Meat, however, begins to decompose because of the length, and that's why it raises your risk of colon cancer and such things.

I haven't done any research to confirm or deny any of that, but it's my understanding from potentially biased sources. :)

This is probably the first time I've ever not been looking forward to snow. It's our winter ball tomorrow night, my date is driving 7 and a half hours for it. She is inevitably going to be caught in the middle of the snow storm that's about to hit. Once she's here though the snow will definitely add to the mood of my already picturesque campus. Still I'd hate to be driving in it.

I was going to say "assuming she makes it", but that'd almost certainy be interpreted incorrectly. :)

I don't know about what kind of snow you get, but in any reasonable snowstorm here the highways are shut down for a few hours to a day until they can be safely cleared. My friend actually got stuck in Regina (half way between Calgary and Winnipeg) for two nights because of a snowstorm.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: truste1 on January 29, 2010, 04:36:31 pm

Yeah it could be interpreted either way, and I'm worried about either outcome. She might have to stay with a friend about 2 hours from here if it gets too bad. I think she may be just in front of the storm, but if so it's not by much.

The problem isn't being "snowed in", necessarily -- at least around here, it comes down to when the province (or state :P) decides that the highways are too unsafe (due to visibility, snowdrifts, etc) to drive on, and shuts them down until it gets safer.

I've never encountered a situation, regardless of how bad a blizzard it's been, where the roads have been shut down completely. I don't know if they do that in Minnesota unless it was wtfridiculous. That being said,I have postponed driving several hours and let a foot+ (that's 30cm to you Canucks) snow accumulate on my car because the blizzard was too bad to drive through.

No such thing. No car is better than any other car for driving in snow, really. Every car is susceptible to sliding on the same patch of ice, to fishtailing because of too sharp+quick a turn, etc. Now you could say she's inexperienced in driving in snow, and that would be perfectly valid.

The technology in the car matters more than what kind of car it is (sport car, SUV, sedan, etc.). Certain technologies, such as AWD or ABS, are what make more of a difference in most conditions than if your car is gigantic or not. On top of the technology, knowing how to react if something happens is invariably more useful than parking yourself in an SUV and going "WOO I DRIVE SUV NOTHING GON HAPPEN TO ME" like countless people I've seen end up in ditches.

The roads weren't shut down, but she has a sports car that isn't fit for driving in snow.
No such thing. No car is better than any other car for driving in snow, really. Every car is susceptible to sliding on the same patch of ice, to fishtailing because of too sharp+quick a turn, etc. Now you could say she's inexperienced in driving in snow, and that would be perfectly valid.

False statement is false. I used to have to be extremely careful in the rain ( not quite snow, but the same idea ) when I had my Mustang GT - on the flip side, I don't have to be in my Malibu ( do in my Ram though :> ). The same thing applies for the snow. 2WD trucks without anything in the bed have no weight on the rear axle, sports cars can be extremely touchy. Not to mention, sports cars generally sit lower than a regular compact / luxury car and it's no fun trying to plow through 2ft of snow in a car that sits 6" off the ground.

that's so much bs. of course you can lose control in just about any car. that doesn't mean some cars aren't better suited for snow-driving than others. you try driving up a steep snow-packed hill in a rice rocket and get back to me.
The technology in the car matters more than what kind of car it is (sport car, SUV, sedan, etc.). Certain technologies, such as AWD or ABS, are what make more of a difference in most conditions than if your car is gigantic or not. On top of the technology, knowing how to react if something happens is invariably more useful than parking yourself in an SUV and going "WOO I DRIVE SUV NOTHING GON HAPPEN TO ME" like countless people I've seen end up in ditches. Obviously there are certain situations where having a larger car helps, but I doubt Trust's date was off-roading in the mountains. :P

look, i know that. it doesn't matter how good a driver you are. if you try to drive up a snow-packed 30 degree slope with a lowered car that doesn't have awd, you're fucked. you're not going to get up that hill.

you said "no car is better than any other car for driving in snow", which is what i was responding to. it's completely false.

Yup, when I had a Mustang GT, similar to Furious, the rear end was so light combined with it being rear wheel drive that whenever I was on a slick surface at all I had to be slow on the gas otherwise my tires would just spin. It was a manual car which also didn't make that process any more forgiving.

I think my handwriting has probably improved -- especially my ability to write mathy type stuff. zeta still escapes me, though. how the fuck do you draw that? even the old professors seem to just draw some scrible and say "that's a zeta".

I'm not nearly as bad with math stuff, its mostly writing actual words that I fail at. I think I'm just used to thinking at typing speed which far exceeds the speed I can write at.

that has no significant resemblance to a 2.

i wish i could replicate the way my algebra professor drew zeta. hahahaha. that shit was hilarious. i think i had more focus on drawing zetas in that class than learning what orbits and stabilizers were. not that it wasn't interesting... his lectures were just difficult to follow because he was so terse.

Well my weekend was great... was happy to hang with my friends from college at Katsucon. But it seems every time I see them and what not, I come back home and go through a couple weeks of feeling depressed that I'm not still in college where I'd have an instant social network of like-minded individuals to socialize with. I may be an introvert, but it seems like I cannot live my life without the company of others, even if I don't talk or am just tagging along.

This is a short term issue. You're still relatively new to the area, social circles develop over time but it takes an active initiative on your part as well.

On this note, I actually learned something useful/interesting in my sociology class. It seems that, without any sort of interpersonal communication as a child, humans do not develop ever. Here's an interesting NOVA documentary on it: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/transcripts/2112gchild.html

There's been studies where they keep babies isolated from the world, only to keep them biologically stable (food, water, etc.) but they're kept completely devoid of any human contact. Pretty much all of the babies die.

I love overtime pay.

While I normally don't come close to the 20 hrs/wk of extra pay I'm eligible to, I get in about 10-20 every two weeks. I could easily clock the total 60 hrs/wk if I really wanted to, but I think I'd probably draw myself some attention even if all 60 hrs are spent legitimately working. It would probably throw off our monthly tasking and timekeeping schedule, making it more inconvenient than not. There's also the point where I'd probably end up burn myself out, since I already spend more time in the office outside the regular work week than the other new hires.

I've got an idea. Why don't you mutually fund your own ticket back to Africa.

I'm going to be doing some index/mutual funds soon as I get the $3,000 account opening deposit. Depending on the mutual fund, the best normally require around $3,000 or more to open an account. Lame.

Why don't you just give me that $3k? It'll be a better investment.

Hahaha, no thx. I'm Mr. Scroog when it comes to money.

Just filed my tax return... I'll be getting a nice sum back, about $4.5k. That puts me at about 6 months of emergency fund. Now I can feel more secure spending money.

10:30 1.5 mile for us. 60 situps sounds right... might be 45 pushups. I only know that its 101 max for pushup and situps for us :P The run, on the other hand, I'm concerned with minimum times. You also have to be within height and weight standards (not sure if this is a problem for you)

I'm 5'11 210lbs. According to the BMI I'm in the middle of overweight. I intend to correct that this summer, or at least transfer that weight to different locations. :)

And of course USNA is expected to exceed NROTC.

IIRC, only Marine Option needs pushups, but I could be mistaken.

Good day.

I feel really good about myself.

In other news, I threw in my cash and became an official iPhone app developer, and also signed up for a student scholarship to WWDC. I mentioned "iPhone" (their major focus this year) about 50 times in my application, and did some hardcore sucking up to Apple, but my resume was pretty unimpressive, so I'm not getting my hopes up of being one of the top 300.

I know it's my fault for being dumb, but I'm still convinced microsoft somehow stole my credit card information and charged my account. I remember I got some free amount of time but totally do not remember ever giving them any billing information after that, and am totally unconvinced I would have ever given them $50 for a year of something I never use. fucking jerks.

Why do I get the impression it'd be like trying to cancel an AOL subscription (impossible)?

Anyhow, I stopped at CenturyLink again. I told the lady at the desk that I know I'm outside their territory, but that I also know they have cables going underneath my driveway, and I also know that they can negotiate with Verizon for an additional fee. I explained I'm currently with HughesNet so I'd rather pay out the ass for real internet than for IPoS (should be capitalized iPOS). Her manager is going to call me on Monday, apparently. Hopefully I can at least get a direct quote of what the price would be. I may finally be getting real internet.. but somehow I doubt it.

One of my girlfriend's coworkers got pulled over on her way home from work because her sister's license is suspended and she had her sister's car. Finding that she had a license, the officer decided to give a curfew ticket instead.

Quote

[...]
(i) "Remain" means to:

1. Linger or stay; or
2. Fail to leave a premises or establishment when requested to do so by a law enforcement officer or the owner, operator or other person in control of the premises or establishment.

(k) "Loiter" means to congregate, linger, wander, stand, delay, walk or stroll about aimlessly, or to remain idle in essentially one location in a manner and under circumstances manifesting an unnecessary or aimless purpose.

[..]

(2) OFFENSES.

(a) No minor shall loiter, idle, remain or be present in any public place or on the premises of any establishment within the City during curfew hours.

(3) DEFENSES.
(a) This section shall not apply where the minor was:

Started volunteering again with the local animal welfare organization today and will probably get back into regularly volunteering. I have to just try and stay optimistic and just stop thinking about what-ifs and worrying about variables out of my control... and stop making excuses for my lack of a social life, stop blaming it on the local demographics and shitty rural redneck area I live.

Finally met someone around my age, educated (grad student atm), isn't a baby's momma, and that I'd be interested in getting to know more. Although, it sucks that I have little experience and know-how concerning the best methods of figuring out if someone is attached or married. Guess I'm going to just have to find out by taking a chance and asking her out, bah.

You should look at her finger to see if she's married. That's the best way.

Attached? Check Facebook...or ask her if she has one either directly or indirectly.

Volunteering is a great way to meet people. I did it for a while in order to meet some girls. Didn't really work out but it presented opportunities.

I think facebook is the best way of finding out if someone is in a relationship. I wish you the best of luck if you end up asking her out. Remember that guys, in general, are rejected 80% of the time. But that does not matter - it is the one out of five times that counts :-)

Woohoo, end of the month will mark the end of my current apartment lease... moving out July 6 to a different apartment just down the street from where I am, within same apartment community, just a more practical sized apartment. Luckily, they're making an exception for me and waiving the additional month-to-month rent increase for June that I would have to pay under normal circumstances since I'm just transferring to a different apartment.

It's also fortunate that the move-in date for my new place falls on the week I was going to take 3 days off anyways, and the period in which I'll have 10 days in a row off from work. Gives me time before the holiday to pack and time after the holiday to move and get situated.

I'm sorry, but as much as I use various Google web services (search, maps, and email)... their desktop software applications are horribly lacking in areas that are MUST HAVE for someone like me a power user and control freak that likes to have customization, advanced features, and most notably application-level support for multi-monitor OS setups.

For instance, Picasa3, while I like the software for the most part, the deal breaker is the fact it reminds me how much the piece of software annoys the fuck out of me every time I open it... if it would only fucking remember the last monitor position it was opened on and not force me to move the stupid ass window to the one I always put it on every time I open an image file. Chrome is a little better in that at least it attempts to remember where it was last opened and what monitor... it's just that it fails miserably at it and opens the browser window all fucked up at the wrong position and wrong window size. Whoever coded Chrome's support for multi-monitor displays and whoever tested it obviously is a noob and had no clue that not every fucking multi-monitor setup uses monitors with identical resolutions, orientations, etc.

Maybe these are minor pet peeves to the majority of users, but not for me.

It sounds like whichever OS you're using fails at multi displays, not the software. :P

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: while1 on July 05, 2010, 01:04:47 pm

That's only partially correct. Out of the box, I've had issues with Google software for Linux and Windows- Linux ends up being less of a problem because I can customize it to force the software to behave how I want, but Windows isn't as easy to do that. Can't say I've used any Google desktop applications on OSX. I suppose OSX support may be different, since according to my friends who have worked/work for Google, their software support for multi-monitor displays on OSX may be very well be flawless since Google employees are generally Apple fanboys.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: iago on July 05, 2010, 02:16:03 pm

Linux can either run separate X sessions on both monitors, or can have one session stretched. The stretched one runs into the same issues as Windows -- it depends on each application to pick its starting location -- but the separate X sessions will run the application on whichever screen you started it up on. The downside is, you can't drag windows between screens because they're different sessions.

your second line is clearly sarcasm, but that wasn't one of the reasons that i dislike chrome. i tried it and it just didn't feel as good.. also, noscript, flashblock, and abp are all wayyyy awesome.

Adblock has a Chrome version of their service, but I'll admit it's not as good. I haven't updated in a while... maybe I should do that.

Chrome gives developers a lot less room than Firefox does, which is unfortunate in many ways. Seriously, though... I can hardly handle how slow Firefox is in comparison. I'm almost never waiting for Chrome, which is much more often the case with Firefox.

Have you tried Firefox 4 beta yet? It's supposed to be faster, but I hadn't noticed the slowness so it doesn't seem too different to me.

To be fair, Chrome was apparently the only browser on Windows (besides maybe IE) that implemented DEP and ASLR correctly. So it is probably one of the safest!

Are you one of those people that has 500 tabs open at any given moment and then wonders why his browser is slow? I had to go to the hospital after all my facepalms reading Slashdot users complain about that..

No, not so. Firefox takes 10 seconds or more to start up on my MBP. Chrome takes less than 1. I'll admit that I'm not very diligent about closing tabs, but I don't do it in Chrome either, and Chrome runs much faster than FF.

I've been convinced to try the special OSX version of Firefox though. Maybe it's even nicer than Chrome. :)

Haha. Firefox is slower on Linux too. I don't think it's my machine... I have 4GB RAM and a Core2 Quad...

I'll admit that the speed differential is a lot smaller on other platforms I've used both on, though. Maybe it's just psychological, but it definitely feels like Firefox is more clunky regardless of the platform on which I use it.

I wonder how hard it would be to write a Cocoa app to give me audio notification whenever my internet connection becomes available or unavailable, for situations such as a stormy night.

Code: [Select]

#import "InternetStatusAppDelegate.h"

@implementation InternetStatusAppDelegate

@synthesize window;

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification {
    previousStatus = STATUS_UNDEFINED;
    [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1.0
        target:self
        selector:@selector(checkInternetStatus)
        userInfo:nil
        repeats:YES];
}

- (void)checkInternetStatus {

    NSLog(@"Checking access to Google.");
    NSURL    *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com"];
    NSError  *err = nil;
    NSString *dat = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:url
        encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding error:&err];
        
    if (!err) {
        if (previousStatus != STATUS_UP) {
            system("say Internet access is now available.");
            previousStatus = STATUS_UP;
        }
    } else {
        if (previousStatus != STATUS_DOWN) {
            system("say Internet access is no longer available.");

GRRRRRRRRRR. @#$^ing worst timing.

So I was scheduled to have my LASIK performed next Thursday up in Annapolis, so last night I booked a hotel room for a night since I have to go for a follow-up early the next morning and don't feel like waking up and driving 1.5 hours for the checkup.

However, I got a stupid ass call today telling me that my appointment would have to be rescheduled because the particular laser they're using on me isn't available at the Annapolis LasikPLUS center. OK... normally something like this wouldn't fucking piss me off, but the fact that I booked a damn hotel room last night at a rate that is non-refundable and non-transferrable, and they call me the day after I book it to tell me that I just wasted money on a hotel room... grrrr. Plus they should have fucking told me this before, it's something they should have already fucking known months ago. Now I have to go all the way up to Towson, MD, north of Baltimore next Saturday instead. Even longer of a drive. And now I have to make another damn reservation for a hotel room close to this other place.

Ok, I am kind of blowing this all out of proportion, as I got them to reduce my surgery by the amount that I'm losing because of their screw up, still fucking pisses me off inside. Makes me want to just wait even more till the last minute to book hotel reservations for something like this.

If you're at all interested in the latter, let me know and I can share the link. The auction is for a handmade fleece helmet bag in the LIVESTRONG colors, so it'd be more relevant to cyclists.

Really starting to hate rural America. Closed minded borderline racists is what the majority are.

Perhaps it's all in my head, but I'm pretty sure statistically speaking I'm correct at least to the closed mind part. Sigh.

Let me rephrase that. Really starting to hate Southern Maryland. Closed mind racists is what the majority of the women are.

Majority. 50.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% counts as majority, and if I were to ask every single woman out that I meet that was born and raised in this part of white rural America, I'm 90% confident that more than 50% would deny me a date because of my race. Sure this is based off anecdotal evidence of 100% of women finding an excuse not to talk to me or make a weird face at me after I make the effort to start a conversation... and why I don't go to bars anymore.

For what it's worth, I like to think that I'm not a racist in any way, but I also don't find non-white guys attractive in the least. I'm perfectly happy to have multi-national and multi-gender friends (and by multi-gender, I mean.... nevermind :) ), but I only find white guys attractive.

I apologize for being part of the problem. :)

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Sidoh on August 25, 2010, 10:14:09 pm

Yeah, I don't think it's fair to call that racism. I think that what a person finds attractive is somewhat innate, and is therefore misclassified if it's called racism.

If they don't want to date you because you're Asian and they think that means you're going to be frugal and angry about grades below A+, then it's probably fair to call it racism. If they don't want to date you because they prefer how brothas look, then I definitely don't think it's fair to call that racism.

It's completely fair to call it shallow, since I'm guessing it's pretty much based on appearance, but unless you've known the person for a long time, what else do they have to go off of that's as certain as appearance? ;)

That said, you should come to Hawaii -- asian/white couples are pretty much the most common kind here. haha.

Post by: Joe on August 26, 2010, 03:45:52 am

I try to convince myself I'm not racist, but I'm not sure anymore. I know quite a few black people who are intelligent and can speak proper English, but working in the Dells, I notice a pattern. I don't hate them cause they're black and retarded, I just hate them cause they're retarded. The fact that I meet more black retards than white retards (okay, I meet a ton of them too) is just a statistic.

Oh, also, that opens the door for another rant from me!

You said that 50%+ of girls wouldn't be interested in you because you're Asian.

Well, according to statistics, somewhere between 1% and 10% of guys are gay. That means that 90%+ of guys would instantly have no (romantic) interest in me. So if you're worried about 50% not being interested in you for the way you were born, up to 99% aren't interested in me for the way *I'M* born. Boohoo. :P

-In law school. *shrug*
-When I moved to Lubbock, TX, I moved in with some random chick that found my craigslist posting. She was in FL when I moved in. Very trusting.
-A couple weeks into living with her, we started sleeping together. Bad decision, but AWESOME decision too. She's sweet.
-I got a new dog about 1.5 yrs ago.
-I know a Lubbock cop. He is now assigned to patrol our neighborhood because of our meth dealing neighbors. Awesome. I carry gun when home.
-Lubbock sucks.

Just make sure that you stay on good terms with her until AFTER you move out... otherwise you may find all your shit in a dumpster somewhere or worse. Perhaps put to good use that law degree you're getting, and make sure you have your ass covered in case she does something that could have legal implications.

The crazy ones are probably great in bed, but I'd imagine ultimately they might not make good long term relationship material... not that I can speak from experience :P.

Wow, good for you. You seem pretty set. I'm in my last year of college and I'm waiting to get out of here. Have to start looking into jobs soon... not sure what I'm going to do with my life but I figure I'll use the next 2-3 years to figure it out.

I've spoken with several lawyers, and know people who have done likewise. The market is oversaturated, especially in the economic downturn. Law school graduates end up largely outside of their field, with a burgeoning amount of debt. According to USN ( http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-law-schools/items/03153 ) Lubbock is a T3 school, which means that there's a slim chance Crazed may end up getting a job, but it will end up being years to repay his loans. Law isn't the portal to fame and hoes that it used to be, unless you're going to a T1 school and graduate high in your class -- the big law firms that pay 6- and 7-figures recruit exclusively out of there.

Yup...not exactly "set" with a mediocre job market and fucking...like $90k in loans. BUT, at the same time, I dont really give a shit about working 90+ hrs a week at a large firm and being a lawyer that is glorified on TV/in the news/etc. One of my profs was telling us she was BILLING 55hrs/week before she was diagnosed with breast cancer (which means she was probably putting in a realistic 70+ hrs per week). She was making lower-mid 6 figures, with $50k/yr bonuses and walked away. At the same time, her senior partner wanted to start his own firm because $700k/yr wasnt enough. Depends what you want out of life.

Fuck working yourself to death (in a literal sense of health problems). My former boss made $120k and while he did work for it, he also took about 5 weeks in vacation per year. It'll take me a while to get to that point, but working for myself will be fine. I dont want to work with all the politics of a huge firm anyway.

If you work hard it's possible to bill a large amount of hours (perhaps even be within the top in your firm...state/region/ or worldwide) even in an economic downturn. Trust me on this one.

Congrats on misconstruing what I said. Lurn2reed more. Once you get a job as a lawyer, depending on where you work you may be able to bill a lot. Many law firms are actually cutting people across the country, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. Not to mention, most law firms aren't even hiring right now. Is crazed fucked? Not necessarily. Is he in a tough position, just like all the other kids in his graduating class will be? Yes. Crazed even agreed with my point.

Firms are making widespread cuts in the downturn, this is true - and even good lawyers are not immune.

What I said, though, was that it is still possible to be a top achiever at your firm but it depends on the person (as with anything.) We don't know CrAz3D's grades, contacts, method of thinking, etc., nor do we know for certain what the market will be when he's admitted to the bar. Consequently I'd prefer to remain optimistic for CrAz3D instead of making a blanket statement of failure. Indeed the law profession is over-saturated, but the law is something that we are required to interact with on a daily basis and is furthermore something very few people understand. The demand for the lawyer is there: but in order to be successful it requires long hours, constant networking, and a legal astuteness.

Additionally, legal billing is kind of interesting. Underperforming associates are not just fired, they are starved of hours over a long course of time. On the other hand, associates that have good relationships with their superior partner (the people finding the work) are going to receive more hours and better cases to bill.

The entire country agrees that new-hires are in a "tough position."

My roommate/girlfriend offered a 3some with her friend...but then her friend got into a monogamous relationship with some dude. Fail.

More evidence of crazy: after we got back from our trip this weekend, we were talking and she "confessed" that she had planned on sleeping with me a good while before we finally did. About a week before we slept together, she was driving me nuts talking about sex. I sorta jokingly thought "WTF...is she TRYING to drive me insane?" Apparently she was just trying to drive me to sex, and was just trying to get me into bed. Now I constantly question the motive of anything she says. Example: she has been talking about saying "love." This coming from the girl that called off her most recent wedding because her fiancee was too much of a push over. *sigh*

As for dbl standards, she is uber P.C. (once corrected me saying "midgets" to "little people"). However, she'll call me "such a guy" or "a woman" in diff circumstances. P.C. people are almost always hypocrites. lol.

However, the most unfortunate thing is that I think I'm falling for this shit-storm of crazy. The sex is awesome, but I feel good when talking with her and being with her. Fuck me. haha

Gateway, dell. My friends have had HP, Asus, gateway, dell, etc... and they are most of the time less reliable than my mac.

My girlfriend has had a MB for 4 years and the only problems with it haven't really been the machine's fault. Spilled drink on the keyboard, etc.

I'm sure there are PCs that fair as well, but in my experience, they're farer and fewer between.

I've been using my Dell Latitude D820 almost every day for over 4 years. I had 1 problem with my screen, but that was fixed pretty easily. Aside from that it's been great for my needs.

My family has laptops from dell, gateway, and acer. The only problems that I've seen with any of them have been caused by user stupidity. Maybe we're just lucky, but I think most people just treat their laptops very very poorly. The only problem with my old dell is that the power connector has been loose ever since I knocked it a couple feet off a counter onto a hard floor :(. The magnetic power connector thing is one of my favorite things about macbooks (that seems to be a fairly common point of failure) but it's really not worth an extra $1000.

My laptops tend to run very hot, and I've had a lot of harddrive issues.

That being said, my friend with a Mac has had similar problems, so it can happen to any one.

Heh. I guess it just seems I've seen a lot more "bad apple" PCs than I have with MBs.

I love the magnetic charger. It's saved my ass dozens of times. I've dropped my MBP quite a few times, I've spilled water, soda, coffee, etc. on the keyboard and I haven't had a single problem. For something that's not meant to be ultra durable, this thing sure is a trooper.

I don't have a desktop here because I didn't have a good way of bringing mine. I have a pretty hard time being restricted to a laptop, and I'm going to try to get my PC here next time I go home.

I don't think I'd ever spend more than $1000 on a laptop. I'd never buy a laptop if I intended to do any sort of serious gaming. My MBP was a little over $1000, and I've been rather pleased with it. Maybe it's just something like the placebo effect, but I've never been so pleased with a laptop. A year after I bought it, everything is still working as it should. No broken chargers, no busted keys, not a single hardware failure, etc.

That's not to say I'd never buy a PC laptop again, or that I wouldn't recommend a PC laptop to someone else. I'm just very pleased with my MBP. :)

I don't know lol I guess it's fun? Besides my life sucks right now; I'm on antibiotics for strep so I can't smoke or drink. Also one of my friends just let me down.

To be fair, though, saying that you use the computer 10-14 hours a day warrants some comment. So does insulting certain users on here (Trust and CrAz3d to name two) which you do all the time. I can tell you now that when you pick on them, I'm going to pick on you.

I should have bought an MBP. My whitebook isn't holding up nearly as well:
- Bottom case plastic separated from metal in a fat ugly bulge.
- StarCraft II cooked GPU (I think?)
- Top case assembly (unibody) cracked near Ethernet port, part of the computer's structure
- Clamshell (screen) assembly cracked in the plastic near the hinges
- AirPort card dying, most likely thermal death

AppleCare has replaced all of those for me (taking the AirPort card in today) but this machine is under a year old. I'm going to ask to speak with a manager and ask for my machine to be replaced with a refurbished MacBook Pro, which costs less than a new whitebook anyhow.

I made that switch because I hated everything else and still love computers. Programming, I've learned, is a smaller part of CS and not necessarily what the major's all about. Some sects use it as a means to an end, and don't focus solely on programming. I don't think I want to be a software engineer, but working in iago's area is probably where I want to go with the degree. Having student sysadmin/network admin experience will be a very good segue into a potential internship with a security department, imo.

I don't think we have any sort of security club. I don't think I'd get involved with any more student orgs though. I'm sick of them, tbh. I'd rather spend my free time next school year working on my honors thesis research project, whatever it may end up being.

Shrugs... all of the student organizations I was involved with were minimally annoying. I could show up when I felt like it, take part in any subset of the events I wanted, and I learned quite a bit. The network security lab was great. I was a "student admin", although I didn't do anything. It just meant I got the punch code for the door, and I could run wild on any of the hardware I wanted. My friend and I messed around with backtrack and ettercap for hours.

We were experimenting with ARP poisoning, and injecting data in HTTP packets. We replaced all images in HTML with a picture of the professor that ran the network security club. What we didn't realize was we were also intercepting packets that the server hosting the netsec website was sending out... anyone who requested the webpage during our fun times got a page full of images of Professor Dan Massey. Oops. >_>

It's different being on the board versus merely involved with an organization, I suppose.

Ah, I do a wide variety of stuff. Just switched into my current department; eventually I'll be doing what full-time sysadmins do (server automation, ticket handling, hardware/cluster management, and a small bit of networking).

I was "on board". They just didn't care if I didn't show up to things that didn't sound interesting to me.

If only my current orgs did that... but then, I'd never show up. Reached the pinnacle of my enjoyment about two years ago. Lawlz.

The "network security lab" was just a room with 30 or so computers, its own subnet and a bunch of hardware/software to play with. They let people run wild. It was really great :)

If I wanted I could put things on their own subnet at my own job; we have enough of a backlog in everything that it makes little sense to screw around that much, though. Currently wanting to break the web server because of CSS. :-D

The network security lab is pretty much there so people can do this kind of thing. That's what was fun about it. We could do all the naughty things we wanted without getting in trouble. The professor thought it was pretty hilarious :P

Ah. With a school of 50,000 that isn't tech-focused like CSM is, we have some different limitations in things we can do. AFAIK we don't have things like that unless research groups are utilizing them.

CSS? Cascading style sheets? Perhaps you mean XSS. ;p

shrugs. CSU was 28k students or something. The computer science department pretty much runs its own gig, and the network security people have their own little sector on the CS network.

No, no. I mean my university has very specific mandates on what each university-affiliated page must look like, and their required CSS code is atrocious. I've been troubleshooting a redesign of our internal site, and it makes me want to just destroy the web server to not have to deal with anymore. :D

OIT here likes it up the butt (aka they're anal). From a security standpoint it's good, but from a practical aspect, it's really annoying. My old employer flaunted their rules, but my old employer turned out to be douches. My new ones, unfortunately, have to stick to their rules.

In other news, I still really have no idea what my research project will be. It's either going to be repeating a bunch of experiments using a new technique, continuing some computational fluid dynamics, or both. No one really knows right now. That, or they're all just keeping secrets. :(

You'll probably be double-dipping in both. Chem (not chemE) grads I know spend about 50/50 time doing synthetic work and doing computational work. I can't imagine why it would be different for you.

I don't think giving students an isolated network to run wild on is much of a security risk. They should probably host their website externally, but other than that, I don't think there's much that could go wrong.

Oh, last year or early this year, the FDA was getting complaints about caffeinated alcoholic beverages, and they said, "We never did say caffeine was a safe additive to alcoholic drinks." Well, earlier this week, they ruled caffeine is an unsafe additive to alcohol.

Senator Charles Schumer said:
“Let these rulings serve as a warning to anyone who tried to peddle dangerous and toxic brews to our children. Do it and we will shut you down. This ruling should be the nail in the coffin of these dangerous and toxic drinks. Parents should be able to rest a little easier knowing that soon their children won’t have access to this deadly brew.”

Yeah, thanks Chuck. If I want to put two perfectly legal substances in my body, I will.

Ummm... not really. Meth heads don't just drink bleach, cough medicine, ammonia, and whatever else they need to make it. They have to cook the hell out of that shit. Those chemical reactions often produce horrible byproducts that kill. And a lot of the chemicals they use were never meant for human consumption. Never mind what meth does to the person and communities. Caffeine and alcohol have been consumed safely for thousands of years. Then there's mixed drinks that provide caffeine and alcohol, and there's no ban on those. And is it even the FDA's responsibility? Don't we have the BATF for alcohol regulation?

Seriously speaking, all drugs should be legalized. Any intelligent person should understand that the legalization of drugs would cripple every gang, relieve all the violence in inner-city America as well as Mexico, Colombia, etc. Not only that but the government could make a fortune off of taxes. This fortune could go towards creating jobs, paying off debts or lowering all the other taxes (like, for example, income tax).

10,000 people die every year in Mexico from gang violence. All these deaths could be avoided if we only legalized drugs.

What's funny is that we have all these prescription medicines that are basically the same as illegal drugs. The only difference is that there are corporations that patent them and make a fortune. I have a friend taking the prescription equivalent to speed for his ADHD. He's absolutely addicted to it and it really f--s him up. If you've ever smoked marijuana and taken an SSRI, you'll know that they produce a very similar feeling. The problem is that society has so attached so much stigma to illegal substances.... prescription drugs are basically the same thing without the stigma.

I don't disagree. The additional advantage is that people wouldn't be as afraid to seek help if they have a problem.

The big disadvantage I see is that with less social stigma, and full availability, people would be more likely to try, say, meth, and become addicted to it.

While we're talking about stupid arbitrary stuff, I move that we also abolish the legal drinking age law.

Well I don't think it should be abolished, but maybe it should be lowered. However, there are so many DUIs in this country that I feel like if we lower the drinking age there will only be a lot more. Of course, I have no evidence supporting this claim. If there's a study that shows that 18-21 year olds aren't especially likely to commit DUIs then I'd say sure, let's lower it.

IIRC, the average age hovers around 30. Yes, some college students do drink and drive, but I found that most people are pretty good about stopping that sort of behavior in their friends. It's just not cool to drink and drive anymore. Well, it never was, but people didn't have a problem doing it. Colleges have also really made a push with programs for free rides home from the bar.

Yeah that sounds right to me. Thing is, most people drink & drive because they're coming home from a bar and they had too much. If you're 18-21 you're not going to be going to many bars (some have fakes but they probably don't use them that often) so there aren't as many situations that would lead you to drink & drive.

However, if we lower the drinking age, 18 year olds WOULD be going to bars... so there's what-do-you-call-it a hidden variable. So I don't know... I think one would have to study similar urban settings where the drinking age is lower.

By the time they got here they were sorta pissed at each other and buzzed (yay for drunk driving? *facepalm*). Anyway, they passed out by 645. So I am outside on my laptop having a couple beers while those lame asses sleep off their lovers quarrel. Fun night for me!

Yeah, at UW there was an issue with some of the saferide drivers. They would pick up minors, give them a ride to the dorms, and upon arriving, have the police issue them a citation for minor in possession. Also, police issued citations for public intoxication when people walked home from the bars. Maybe the police in Laramie just sucked, though.

Then instead of people drinking illegally, you'll have them driving illegally. People aren't going to wait till 21 to get in a car.

That's very likely true.

I don't think it should be so easy to get a driver's licence as it is, however.

Female bullshit. -.-

I broke up with my girlfriend because she required way too much time and attention. We could go on a date and be together for 6+ hours and when I got home and checked my email (I work in IT, I need to check my email, damn it) I'd get accused of never spending time with her. When I have to do homework, the same. When I have to go to school early / stay late, the same.

She decided it'd be a great opportunity to give me this bullshit about how she's on the rebound and going to her friend "Bryan's" house to hang out. Naturally, I find it a good opportunity to get stuff done and allow her to gtfo. Apparently she and "Bryan" made out, which is whatever, and I don't really care. Later on the story changes that they had sex. Over the next week or so she goes over to "Bryan"s house again a few times and have sex three times.

I really don't give a rat's ass. She's annoying the hell out of me with all her attention seeking, and apparently that doesn't work for her. She changes the story to be that "Bryan" is my best friend Andy, and then later tells me they never had sex, but apparently just made out. I hung out with Andy, his brother Mike (also a good friend of mine), and Stacey (the new girl I like, a programmer from school), and apparently I was supposed to interrogate Andy for the truth.

Texts tonight:

[irrelevant conversation]
Her: Friends?
Me: Idk. You still need to prove that your not on a mission to piss me off
Her: Obviously im not. I Know how much it upset you yesterday, and i value your friendship. I want us to be friends.
Her: Just to clarify, if i wanted to sleep with Andy, would that piss you off?
Me: Idc.
Her: You wouldnt care if i wanted to sleep with him?
Me: Nope.
Her: Would you want me to tell you?
Me: Sure
Her: But you still wouldnt care? Did you ask him last night about us?
Me: Get to your point
Her: No point.
Me: Thought not
Her: I guess i was just wondering if it was ok with you if i deided to sleep with Andy. Did you ask him last night whether or not we had sex?
Me: Yes
Her: What did he say?
Me: Did you?
Her: What did he say???
Me: I'm not putting up with another round of this bullshit
Her: What bullshit?
Me: Good night

Discussing this with one of our mutual female friends, she said that girls never make sense and I need to just get over it. I told her that's why I like a programming chick. :P

End of the semester is just a pain in the ass. I thought I was supposed to be focusing on my classes, doing a few research projects with another graduate student, and reading some of the material. Of course, that's not all. My adviser shot me an email this morning asking if I've contacted the research facility I'll be visiting in a few months. My reply was, "Not yet."

4am. cant sleep. at 330am I started having bourbon so I can just pass out. I almost got to sleep about 230, but my dreams were immediately fucked as hell and woke me up. I guess cause girl is gone. Cant sleep without knowing she is ok? She went out with the girls (one of them leaves forever tomorrow, err, today). Got drunk and is staying at her friend's house. I text her at 3 telling her i hope she is ok...she responded at 330am.

jealous me...awesome. thats healthy as shit. but since everything has been going wrong all day, my mind immediately freaked.

I went to the bar last night and parked in a lot of apparently another business (that had a no parking sign a ways away from my truck that i didnt notice). ANYHOW, I got fucking towed. So today I woke up with a shitty hangover (from 9 beers, which is weird for me), had the girl argue with me last night because I kissed her at the bar (she doesnt want all her psych pplknowing, because they might tell ex fiancee because they are friends with him over her), and my coke from mcdonalds was a cherry coke (I guess that was the straw that broke the camels back, cuz I sorta freaked on that).

so $300 tow bill + argument + cherry coke + me wondering wtf she is doing tonight = me not sleeping. I started drinking bourbon at 330 (half hr ago). I can finally feel it. hopefully I catch a buzz and pass out.

OH! and there is the normal neighborhood domestic dispute going on.

It's an economics paper. From what Google has returned, it's more or less as deadly said. Write it in the proper format, let the peers review it, and wait their decision. I guess the economics department will have more info on which journals I should specifically submit to.

Damn, these last three days have been mad lax... I've only gone in to work a few hours each day, probably wouldn't have gone in at all if I didn't live 5 minutes from the lab.

I have, well had, ~120 hours of paid time off (PTO = combined paid vacation and sick leave) so these last few days I've been preparing (ok mostly procrastinating) for the Christmas break (making and shopping for gifts and what not). I figure since I have so much PTO and having postponed my trip to Zergland until further notice, I might as well spend some PTO and take advantage of the holiday break employees get after Christmas; since we Christmas Eve, all of next week, and the following Monday because it's New Years off by default (meaning it doesn't affect accrued employee PTO).

Anyways, off to work for a few hours. Then back home to sew my Grandma's gift.

I work a paid internship as a 'web programmer' at a video game company, and since I'm remote, I don't really have set hours I need to be online or anything, so long as I'm getting all of my work done. I get to choose a lot of what I do as well, which I think is probably one of the best perks a job can give. When I find myself bored over the next few days, I imagine I'll be working.

Yeah. I had that (remote programming + select my hours) for a solid few months before the guy funding the project pulled funding with a family emergency to deal with. so I'm currently unemployed 'til he decides to start paying me again. =P

I dislike facebook due to the tying to real identification, but I do like the ability that facebook/twitter give for you to 'approve' or 'like'/'retweet' what someone says. Very simple, easy way to share opinions, or, more often, jokes.

Twitter needs like functionality. Retweeting is a different brand of that. If I retweeted everything I thought was cool, people who subscribe to me via SMS (some people do, and I don't know why!!) would definitely throw their phones at a wall.

You can customize sms settings to not display retweets, or you can hide retweets from a certain person.

The power of Twitter, in my opinion, is the simplicity.

Post by: Joe on January 06, 2011, 10:45:28 am

I don't think that would filter out implicit retweets, and up until today (the Mac App Store launched today, by the way), Tweetie didn't support explicit retweets.

By the way, an implicit retweet is basically "RT @username: ", followed by the message. An explicit retweet is actually specified in the JSON / XML used to send the new message to twitter, for those who didn't know.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: iago on January 06, 2011, 11:07:00 am

If somebody retweets a lot and I can't turn off retweets, then I can simply unfollow them. :)

But I like that there's no 'like' button on twitter, that would just be redundant.

You won't get as much of a discount as you think. Typically the plan discount applies ONLY to the base amount of the plan and not the data/text/insurance/anything else packages you add on. I'm using a family plan with a 20% corporate discount and it only saves me about $15/month.

Something smaller. Sedan or hatch. I drive a lot and don't haul things or go off road, so a SUV or a pickup wouldn't do me any good. I'm leaning towards a Ford Fiesta because it's cheap and because of Top Gear.

Finally stopped procrastinating and registered to take the 17-hour DMV sponsored Motorcycle Safety course in late April, so assuming all goes well I should have my class "M"-license early May :D.

I opted to take the most expensive course offering since I'm a complete motorcycle noob... this course option has two instructors that will teach a maximum of 6 students, giving each student more personalized and individual attention when practicing and developing driving technique. People have told me the basic rider course would suffice, but for me the smaller class size means less anxiety about being a noob and is worth the extra $60.

I've had multiple people tell me that driving a motorcycle in Maryland is like asking for death, but I don't really care about the higher risk of death... honestly, if I were to die tomorrow, while I may have regrets about having never loved and been loved, regret not having done this or that, etc., ultimately I think it would be an unfortunate but convenient relief to get out of the chore of life.

Not that I could ever deliberately bring myself to commit suicide, I rationalize that it would be rather silly to do so considering all the time, money, and effort my family and I have put into it already; it would void my life insurance policy anyways. But I think in a way I subconsciously welcome the thrill of possible death, as there's little to no excitement in my life currently, and the thrill of the ride may be just what I need to start thirsting for life again. Besides, I hear people have revelations and a whole new perspective on their lives after brushing up against death. Whether the consequences of getting my motorcycle license ends in death or not, I see it as a win-win situation.

Man, winter makes me damn emo. Fuck SAD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_affective_disorder).

Last spring quarter was: intro to food science & technology (LOL), intro to linguistics (LOL), introduction to statistical methods with computers (LOL), ethics in philosophy (LOL). It was my quarter to take GE classes. Now I'm onto major-specific ones.

My last spring quarter I skipped class every single day in May. If I skip even a week this quarter I'll likely fail everything. Growing up stinks!

I want to get ripped... but that will mean bulking up- at least that's what everyone keeps telling me, meaning I'd have to eat lots of food/ calories. My two issues with increasing my caloric intake is 1) increased money on food 2) I can't slack on the working out part, else I'd just be fattening up instead of bulking up with muscle. Doh!

Anyways, I need to get ripped to compensate for my introverted personality if a women is ever going to love me :(.

I'm beginning to think that too. But I legitimately don't have time I'd like to spend at the gym. Any free time I get is generally in the evenings when the gym is packed. I'm impatient.

I'm not a women, but I feel I still deserve an opinion on the subject.

IMO, fit/toned is okay, but muscly (muscleful?) is unnecessary up to gross, depending on the bulkage.

Everybody has different tastes, though.

I should probably change what I said to "There exist women who find other sorts of things at least as attractive."

Of the women I've met, the ones who don't find that kind of thing attractive are more interesting people. I'm not sure why that is, but there seems to be a pretty strong correlation in my experience.

I hate masculinity, and I think I appreciate it when a women does too.

Awesome!

The non-3G Kindles are $120 now, right?

My sister got me a Kindle for my birthday. It's really awesome for travelling, and it's nice being able to read it on the beach (harder to use something like an iPad on the beach).

They're actually $139. I just wanted something to read on my 30 minute bus rides every few days of the week. Reading equation-dense textbooks makes me light-headed. It's tough to concentrate with the underpaid, pissed off bus drivers slamming on the gas and brake pedals. Besides the original gameboy/gameboy pocket, I've always had a tough time with computer screens.

I've been working with this 1415 y/o kid (my singers cousin), working on his website, giving him guitar lessons, recording acoustic guitar tracks, and a tidbit of writing. This kid has the songs, skill, looks, and voice to be as big as Justin Beiber, but wayyyy better. A few legendary producers have shown interest, and he's just finishing writing his record.

Launched his website today with a teaser of his first single. Check it out! This kid is crazy good.

It has promise, but the lyrics need work. I think the intro could be improved too. His voice sounds somewhat juvenile, but I guess that's because he's 15 :P.

He sells out stadiums with ease; give him some credit. Though beiber's music and persona is completely irrelevant to any of us here, he worked his ass off to get to where he is, and there's no denying that's he's accomplished more at his age than 99.99% of the people you know.

It was a market comparison. Pop music by a young kid.

@Rule: The intro is longer, but the beginning was cut off because it's a teaser. Lyrical content and voice, I would agree if it wasn't 2011. Pop music today is ridiculously bubble-gum simple.

Yeah the autotune ruins the song IMO... needs less of it. It's not that good of an autotune either IMO...

And at least his voice sounds less like a girls'. I think I mistook Bieber as a girl when I first heard a song of his.

I really hate the way labview is implemented with several background processes that are started when I log in to my machine. I spent two hours the other night trying to figure out why the hell my data acquisition card wasn't working. It was all because I didn't have every last one of the damn processes running. Why doesn't NI just program it so the processes open and close upon Labview's launch and shutdown? That'd make sense to me, but whatever.

I'm doing something that would make every statistician cry by taking my extremely limited experience working in engineering and extrapolating out to all fields, but I just can't see myself doing benchwork on a daily basis. It was interesting, sure, but it was more often than not just annoying. Too much hands-on work and not necessarily enough high-level thinking. And unless you're a project manager, that seems to be the case among many engineers I've seen. "Work on this small part of this gigantic design."

I'm aware...

It's not really accurate to say it's subjective. Some of the math really is cleaner. The unit circle is probably the most shining example. It's nicer that 1/4 the way around the circle is 1/4 the circle constant.

It's comparable to units of measure, I think. Some metrics are nicer than others because they're cleaner, more intuitive, etc.

I just don't think it's worth the effort. Writing two everywhere is okay with me.

Agreed. However, cleaner is subjective. Appearance doesn't change the math.

I do believe the world ought to use a single metric system. I just don't really care which because it doesn't really matter.

I don't know about that. Some of the things it does makes a lot of sense to me. Metric is significantly clearer when making the distinction between force and mass. I also appreciate the fact that whenever converting from mass to force I have 1 N = 1 kg*m/s^2 vs. 32.2 lbm*ft/s^2 = 1 lbf.

This is interesting, but I'm not sure I agree with the conclusions.

Difference of a factor ... it's all subjective.

I'm aware...

It's not really accurate to say it's subjective. Some of the math really is cleaner. The unit circle is probably the most shining example. It's nicer that 1/4 the way around the circle is 1/4 the circle constant.

It's comparable to units of measure, I think. Some metrics are nicer than others because they're cleaner, more intuitive, etc.

I just don't think it's worth the effort. Writing two everywhere is okay with me.

Agreed. However, cleaner is subjective. Appearance doesn't change the math.

I do believe the world ought to use a single metric system. I just don't really care which because it doesn't really matter.

Of course it doesn't change the math. Appearance isn't all that it changes, though. It makes some math a lot more intuitive, and that's something more than appearance.

Again -- I don't give a shit. I think it's interesting, but definitely not worth more than passive pondering.

I don't agree with your analysis of the metric system. Sure, what it's based on is pretty arbitrary and not incredibly helpful, but how all of the units relate definitely is helpful. A bunch of different units that seem to have been developed independently is a lot more icky and nebulous (and difficult to deal with) than conversion factors of 1.

Sure, this benefit is completely lost when it's convenient to apply modern technology, but that's not the only time one encounters units of measure.

The benefit for using $\tau$ instead of $\pi$ is even smaller. I just thought it was an interesting read.

However, granted we do express numbers in base-10, we might as well have a system of measurement that exploits that.

Luckily, the number 10 is invariant to base. In any base, you can always count on 10*n to append a 0 digit to the number n. The metric system would generalize in funny ways. Imagine base 13, a kilo would have the value 2197.

I actually think this discussion is profound. We're discussing the conventions used to describe the intangible.

In terms of units, you're not necessarily required to do computation with units themselves. You can always transform complicated physical problems to equivalent dimensionless problems. This is probably the easiest approach metric system or not. It's amusing that you can describe reality with math that is completely detached from reality.

Maybe one can view the optimal numerical base as a solution to some sort of compression problem.
Define the energy function:
[latex]
E(b) = \text{Number of digits to encode } L + \text{ Number of distinct symbols}
[/latex]
where [latex]b[/latex] is the numerical base and [latex]L[/latex] is what you consider a large number that is frequently encountered. Mathematically, the energy is given as:
[latex]
E(b) = \left \lfloor \log_b L \right \rfloor + 1 + b
[/latex]

We can make it smooth by removing the floor
[latex]
E(b) = \log_b L + 1 + b
[/latex]

Now solve:
[latex]
E'(b) = - \frac{1}{b (\log b)^2} \log L + 1 = 0
[/latex]

This gives:
[latex]
-\frac{1}{b (\log b)^2} = -\frac{1}{\log L} \\
b (\log b)^2 = \log L \\
\sqrt{b} \log b = \sqrt{\log L} \\
\sqrt{b} \log \sqrt{b} = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\log L} \\
e^{\log \sqrt{b}} \log \sqrt{b} = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\log L} \\
\log \sqrt{b} = W \left ( \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\log L} \right ) \\
b = e^{2 W \left ( \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\log L} \right )}
[/latex]
Where [latex]W(\cdot)[/latex] is the Lambert W function (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LambertW-Function.html)

If [latex]L = 10^9[/latex] then [latex]b \approx 6[/latex](computation) (http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=exp%282*W%280.5*sqrt%28log%281e9%29%29%29%29). So base 6 or 7 would be optimal.

We could generalize the energy to be
[latex]
E(b) = \log_b L + 1 + \lambda b
[/latex]
where [latex]\lambda \geq 0[/latex] describes how much weight you give the number of distinct symbols. In other words, if you don't care how many distinct symbols you have to remember, then [latex]\lambda = 0[/latex].

By similar derivation, this optimal [latex]b[/latex] is given as
[latex]
b = e^{2 W \left ( \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{\log L}{\lambda}} \right ) }
[/latex]

It's fun to play with, yeah.

I'm starting to get interested in Urban Exploration, so it can maybe sorta come in handy. But trespassing + having lockpicks on me would be a bad thing compared to just trespassing or just carrying picks (which is legal)

Rant expressing my irritation:

I turned in a paper about 6-8 weeks ago (so long ago that I no longer remember much about it). Anyhow, our prof was supposed to have back the papers today, and "go over them" with us. She was out of town Thurs-Sun night (in Vegas for a conference...and fun). Today we went over our papers...without her having handed them back. I have no recollection of what I wrote, so I have no idea how today's criticism applies. Further, at one point she just straight up said "they were sucky." Thats helpful...constructive criticism is good. Calling our papers "sucky" means nothing. Further, it seems to me that if everyone is fucking up on something, there is likely something wrong with the instruction we are receiving. KTHNXBAI.

I've met a couple good friends through online dating, though no relationships (yet?). I'm pretty happy with it. :)

I have perused some online dating sites, but as far as local women on such sites, I'd be better off doing it the old fashioned way until I can move someplace more populace. The "Free online dating sites", the vast majority of local women around my age are surprisingly baby's mommas and uneducated... the online dating sites that require paid subscriptions to communicate, there are more women that I'd be interested in even these handful tend to not be looking for someone like myself (aka someone talller, white, etc. etc.). I'll try online dating again once I get the hell out of the sticks and move someplace with a larger singles population.

Bah, having a nervous breakdown this week... major deadline I must meet by Friday... not sure I can meet it and have a lot of people with high expectations on me having it done... just came home to take a nap, too stressed out and tired, but will be going back to the office in a couple hours for the rest of the night, sigh. I'm sure I could get it done in time, but it's my perfectionist coding and difficulty in coping with being forced to write shitty code for the sake of meeting deadlines that just gets me all torn up inside. I hate writing poor code when I know I can write better. It really bugs me to death.

While that may be the easiest way in a general sense, for me in this case not meeting this particular deadline won't result in no longer making money, rather it will mean my technical lead won't be so quick in the near future to recommend me to be tasked to work on something of such high importance and priority as this. Meaning, I care more about losing the confidence and high esteem of my superiors and senior team members with regards to my competence level and abilities relative to my peers.

Anyways, after putting in a few hours tonight, I've completed a good chunk which as long as things go smoothly this point forward and I can maintain a steady pace of progress, I should be OK. Just hoping all this use of Reflection (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Reflection_%28computer_programming%29) will negligibly impact the overall scalability and performance... it's giving me huge gains with respect to code maintainability and greatly reducing code size... just hoping the trade off is worth it.

Argued with woman last night about politics and vietnam/iraq. I let it be, and dropped the subject because, as usual, she wouldnt concede a thing. However, she brought it up again about 30 seconds before I took her to the airport...she'll be home sunday night (conference on suicide in Portland).

I told her (half jokingly) that I'd have a paper ready when she gets back. I've done the research, and found one single report that evidences my whole simple argument, but I dont know if I should show her...I'll likely just piss her off.

The reason I want to show her is because I want her to take me seriously. She discredited my assertion because (1) I didnt serve in vietnam/iraq; (2) she talks with vets who have [about 12 of them]; (3) I've only talked to friends that have served, so they might be as truthful [wtf?]; (4) I've only read "the headlines" about iraq [but I've read FAR more than "just the headlines].
Basically, I want to show her that while he is usu right on small stuff, I am almost always correct in any argument I make about history/politics.

The dispute:
We watched a movie about vietnam. In bed, she was saying she didnt know much about it (e.g., she didnt realize that Saigon fell...when I asked why, she said because there is still the DMZ...she was obviously confused, so I corrected her). I went further to say that Vietnam was a shitty war because of all the politics bridling the military, and restricting the efficiency of the military, just like Iraq. Apparently she's never heard of politics hampering "our efforts" in Vietnam or Iraq. I went on to explain ROEs (Rules of Engagement) in Iraq, and that soldiers generally cannot fire unless they warn first. She gave me a few examples of her patients, stating that they shot kids in the face that threw rocks. I did not dispute that (nor do I now), but I simply argued that generally, the rule was to warn first. I saw she wasnt going to concede shit, even though I concede that "her guys" might have had specific unit rules, so I dropped it.

Right before I drove her to the airport today, she said "You really annoyed me last night." She then proceeded to tell me I couldnt be right because she had more one-on-one experience with vets, whereas my talking with friends was possibly inaccurate. Further, my "reading the headlines" wasnt enough to counter her "reading books" about the "war."

In support of my position, I quote to you page 14 of this document (http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/2007/images/05/04/mhat.iv.report.pdf)
Soldiers in Operation Iraqi Freedom were just as likely to experience receiving incoming artillerym, rocket and mortar fire, receiving small arms fire, being in threatening situations where the couldn't respond due to the ROE...

That document, in one sentence, shows I am correct in my assertion about ROEs, and should be rather credible because it is a Mental Health doc.

Too much self-cherishing. A virtuous man would break the cycle by forgetting himself and letting it go. If she wants to cherish herself and her beliefs too much, there's nothing you can do to stop her. but if you try to intervene, you're driving a wedge between your relationship because you cherish yourself and your beliefs too much.

True. However, if she never takes me seriously, what kind of relationship is that? I agree that bringing the subject up again would look poorly on me. I guess if she were to still be in town, and I were to show her my evidence today, I would be better off. I just want her to take me seriously. Honestly, I am almost never incorrect in factual assertions about shit like this, and that she discounts my assertions simply because I havent done exactly what she does is annoying. I want to show her I'm not some misinformed normal Joe.

The answer about whether alcohol or pot is more dangerous is quite complex I think... In part it depends on what you mean by 'dangerous'. For example, going to get brainwashed at some cult every day for an hour might have more of a negative effect on your life than alcohol -- and indeed might cause structural/chemical changes in the brain greater than drink will do. But you're not going to overdose on 'brainwashing', just like you're probably not going to overdose on pot.

I do not like alcohol or pot. But I think pot is more insidiously dangerous. People who take it have this delusion that they might even be doing something good for themselves. And I've noticed that there's more of a slacker/ambivalent 'culture' that surrounds it. Yes, there are successful people who smoke a lot of pot. But they are outliers, and quite often started smoking after they were already pretty successful (e.g. they were on 'autopilot' at that point). Most of the potheads I know go on to do very unimpressive things.

The answer about whether alcohol or pot is more dangerous is quite complex I think... In part it depends on what you mean by 'dangerous'. For example, going to get brainwashed at some cult every day for an hour might have more of a negative effect on your life than alcohol -- and indeed might cause structural/chemical changes in the brain greater than drink will do. But you're not going to overdose on 'brainwashing', just like you're probably not going to overdose on pot.

Makes sense to me. I'd think that the successful, motivated, outliers you speak of (i.e. Type-A personalities) generally have different underlying issues that drive their pot use (i.e. high stress).

The connection between self-cherishing and self-enslaving is not so clear to me. Care to elaborate? (Also, being self-enslaved isn't the only thing remarkable about being remarkable. Generally there's something else there.)

Self-cherishing narrows your perspective from the altruistic collective reality. Self-cherishing makes it too easy to become a slave to your self's endless, transient, unfulfilling desires.

We all have an equal right to happiness, and the happiness of many is undeniably more important than the happiness of one. You become remarkable not by chasing the self's desire to be unusually great, but by sacrificing the self for the greater good (which is, more often than not, directly or indirectly beneficial to the self. AKA being wisely-selfish)

I wish could quickly articulate these abstract thoughts more clearly.

It seems like you're (somewhat opaquely) arguing for Utilitarianism.

I partly agree.

However, I don't agree that altruism is intrinsically valuable. Dually, I don't agree that self-cherishing, as you call it, is intrinsically deplorable.

Further, I think your notion of "remarkable" is pretty muddled. I don't think I'm particularly fond of the way you use the word, and I don't think it's impossible (or even unlikely) to be a remarkable hedonist.

Lastly -- I think hedonism is ingrained in our species, and I don't think it's an accident. Obviously, greed is evolutionarily advantageous.

I agree to some extent. I feel altruistic hedonism can be intrinsically valuable depending on the mind at work. I'm also still unsure if self-cherishing is intrinsically deplorable, though at the very least, some sort of balance between individualism and collectivism should be met.

I don't mean to bag on hedonism. Greed has indeed been evolutionarily advantageous.

I'm not sure there's such a thing as altruistic hedonism -- at least not with the way I'm meaning to use the word hedonism. A hedonist does what maximizes his happiness. A purely altruistic action doesn't take into account the happiness of the doer.

I'll agree with your last claim, although I think one should qualify "should", because it seems to imply an existing moral standard when, on some level, you're trying to define one.

I think Utilitarianism is a pretty good model for morality. It posits:
- The only ultimate end is happiness (at the base of things, the only reason anyone wants to do something is to be more happy)
- The happiness of any one person is no more important than the happiness of any other
- Any action should be classified as "moral" if it maximizes the happiness across all people, and "immoral" otherwise

That's a rough overview, but you're probably already familiar.

1. If you "cherish" (so to speak) helping others for the attention/gratification/ego boost/whatever, you can be self-cherishing AND selfless. Yes? No? Is the reason for helping others important too?

2. If you want to improve articulating your thoughts, you just gotta practice. Write more posts on here. I'd love to practice writing but am way too unconfident in my writings to actually put them anywhere, so I just don't write. But damn do I get sick of programming and doing physics homework all day.

I would argue that most altruism isn't really genuine altruism. People like being seen as altruistic because it's an admirable trait. People like to be admired, so being altruistic can be attractive to a greedy person.

Here are a few interesting cases. These examples are intended to point out some of the problems with Utilitarianism (although I don't really think they do a very good job). A few things to note:

* Utilitarianism is a form of consequentialism. Only the consequences of an action matter in this model; intentions don't mean a thing.
* Mill provides responses to these examples in his essay. I think some of them are a little iffy.

Example 1
Suppose an evil genius has invented a machine that gives everyone cancer with the push of a button. He constructs the machine, and pushes the button. Due to an intentional design flaw, the machine cures cancer. Utilitarianism says that pushing the button was moral because it, almost without doubt, increases the overall happiness of everyone in the world.

That doesn't quite seem right, though, does it?

Example 2 (Symmetric to example 1)
Suppose a benevolent genius has invented a machine that she intends to cure cancer. Due to an unintentional design flaw, when she fires off the machine, it gives everyone cancer. Utilitarianism says that pressing the button was immoral.

This case is a little more unclear to me. I don't think it's too inaccurate to say it's immoral, and I definitely don't think that pushing the button was moral.

This seems to indicate to me that my moral standard is based mostly off of consequences, but partly off of intentions.

Example 3
(This is a very common thought experiment in moral philosophy)
Suppose there are five dying patients. Suppose further that you can take all of the essential organs from one of the patients and give them to the dying patients in order to prevent their deaths.

Utilitarianism seems to indicate that killing the one patient is moral. To some, that doesn't seem right. Mill has a clever response to this, but I don't think I agree with it.

TL;DR: What about intentions? They probably matter too.

The woman invited me to a dept banquet tonight. A few days ago, she said she's going to the banquet, but I'm not invited because she isnt ready to "open that can of worms" (she was engaged to a dept prof, then ditched him 2 weeks prior...dept faculty were obviously friends with him, and have taken his side). Anywho, she's kept "us" hidden around folks that she aint close to/are faculty for understandable reasons (doesnt want to create more shit for herself in the small dept). However, after telling me I'm not invited (for obvious reasons), she invited me...so I'm going. It's strange, but meeting dept faculty as "being with her" is more "telling"/whatever than meeting her parents (which I'll be doing in a couple weeks).

I guess meeting faculty as being "with her" is a pretty legit step considering she's saying "fuck it" in light of some of them disliking her for calling of prior wedding. I dunno...it's all weird. This is the least conventional relationship I could ever imagine (and I'm sure my grandmother would never approve...maybe, but I guess my folks are OK with it).

/sidenotes: (1) yes, I am an idiot for getting involved with a woman that has a whorish history, was recently engaged, is crazy generally, and doesnt clean*

On that note, what's the rush to get engaged to her? You're still very young, haven't been dating that long, have plenty of time to continue being boyfriend/girlfriend, and it seems like a huge risk.

Cool, our behind the handlebars exam had us riding Nighthawks, of course they were newer models.

Ugh, I made a noob mistake on my behind the handlebars exam the first time around- got a perfect score on the first three parts and then on the last part I accidentally put the bike into neutral right before cornering and that just caused me to get flustered and I ended up getting penalties left and right (i.e. not looking through the turn far enough ahead, etc.) Basically you can't get more than 9 penalty points on any one of the 4 parts... the last part I got 10 penalty points... doh. I'm a noob.

However, I retook it today and got almost a perfect score (1 penalty point on the 3rd part, the Quick Stop), but everything else perfect score. Going to go to the DMV (MD is retarded and calls it the MVA) tomorrow to get my updated license. Now I need to figure out what my price limit is going to be and start seriously looking around to buy a bike.

Yeah -- although I don't really know what you mean by altruistic hedonism. Maybe you could clarify?

I prefer the term altruistic hedonism because, as well as helping others directly, it implies cultivating personal happiness in order to maximize the sum total of happiness. I propose that effectively helping others is rather difficult without first effectively helping oneself, and I follow by proposing that the highest quality of happiness arises independently from the external environment, e.g. being content. This is crucial if you take into consideration Hedonic Calculus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedonic_calculus), and is even more-so relevant considering that you are external to every sentient being, with yourself as the only exception. I also find this analogy relevant:

Developing the mind depends upon a great many internal causes and conditions, much like a space station depends on the work of generations of scientists who have analyzed and tested even its smallest components. Neither a space station nor an enlightened mind can be realized in a single day. [...] However, unlike the space station, which is constructed by many people working together, the mind must be developed by you alone. There is no way for others to do the work and for you to reap the results. Reading someone else's blueprint of mental progress will not transfer its realizations to you. You have to develop them yourself.

Labels aside, I hope the concept has been sufficiently articulated.

Quote from: Sidoh on April 26, 2011, 10:41:48 pm

TL;DR: What about intentions? They probably matter too.

The first two of Mill's examples seem to be extreme examples of practical occurrences. Intention and consequence go hand in hand with moral planning and moral judgement respectively; it is the same phenomena in different tenses of time. All one can do while attempting to accurately anticipate the consequences of one's actions is to infuse right intention with right effort, right mindfulness and right concentration, and then hope for the best. I propose wrong intention to be immoral planning, and any beneficial consequence to be irrelevant.

Mill's third example seems more realistic. I feel it's wrong to kill the one patient without his consent. It is his choice to live or not to live an altruistic life. No matter how selfless the intention, imposing our will upon others is rather arrogant and leaves plenty of room for moral confusion. I prefer the saying: "If possible, you should help others. If that is not possible, at least you should do no harm."

Mill explicitly rejects that utilitarianism is a form of hedonism. Because it posits that the happiness of any person is exactly as important as the happiness of any other person, it is very different from hedonism, which posits that one should only be concerned with their own happiness.

Utilitarianism is a sort of extension of hedonism. Hedonism is "do whatever makes you happy". Very roughly, utilitarianism replaces "you" with "everyone".

I think that I've come to the opposite conclusion -- intentions matter, but not as much as consequences. I'm definitely not a pure consequentialist, though.

I just installed new video card drivers on windows, and didn't have to uninstall the old ones and then reboot into some shitty resolution to install the new ones. What is this madness?! Also the fact that I'm just realizing this is possible means I probably haven't updated the drivers for on a video card in like 5 years.

If you like Blue Moon, you'd probably like Sunshine. Fat Tire and Easy Street are good wheat beers, but I think they're pretty local to the Fort Collins area. If you're ever back there, you should try it. :)

Chimay Grand Reserve
Orval

Both rated 'A' on beeradvocate and both really do taste like happiness.

If you like less conventional beers, try Young's Double Chocolate Stout. Chocolate beer is pretty unique (also rated 'A') :)

If you like Blue Moon, you might like the Orange/Citrus-like beer, Two Hearted Ale (IPA). That has an 'A' rating. I tried it about two weeks ago. It's pretty good (though I don't agree with 'A').

You might also like Orange Blossom Pilsner (or its 'squared' variant OBP2). Both are not well rated (C, B-, though rated by few ~50). I thought the former was OK. I've not seen the second variant anywhere. It has an obvious orange flavor.

Another decent beer I find myself buying on and off is Harpoon IPA. I think it's quite good and has a 'B' rating.

The first two I mentioned are probably the fanciest beer you could buy at a super market with the latter of the two being rarer than the former. I must warn you, both are very high in alcohol content for beer ...

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Chavo on May 18, 2011, 10:50:54 am

Lagers & Pilsners:
Stella Artois
Becks (the Oktoberfest variety is especially good)
Grolsch
Tallgrass Kold (not "Cold")
Boulevard Pilsner
New Belgium Blue Paddle
Carlsberg
Pilsner Urquell
Rolling Rock (much lighter than the rest, good if you want something good yet drinkable but don't want or like Carona)
Warsteiner
Schlafly (summer variety is excellent)

Ales, traditional Pale Ales:
90 Shilling (wow)
New Belgium Fat Tire
Ad Astra Ale
Bodington's Pub Ale

Ambers:
Honey Brown (sweet, fairly unique)

IPAs:
Tallgrass IPA
Goose Island IPA

Bocks:
Shiner

Stouts:
Murphy's
Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat (a sweeter stout than most)

I can't drink wheat beer anymore, so I have no recommendations in that category.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: nslay on May 18, 2011, 03:01:47 pm

I don't recommend Shiner Bock, Warsteiner, or Rolling Rock. Well, I didn't particularly like them anyway.

One good rule of thumb (not always true either): If it's typically found on tap at bars, it's no good.

Most people drink beer just because and to them "beer is beer." These people typically get the cheapest beer they can (especially in quantity) ... and that's why breweries like Papbst Blue Ribbon are still in business. Some of them don't like the so called "fancy" beers either.

If you have a data plan, browse through beeradvocate or ratebeer at the store to get an idea what you should try. In terms of beeradvocate, anything B and higher is worth trying.

FINALLY, my bike comes next week.

I had to go to another dealership since the bike has yet to arrive at the first dealership I put a deposit down at... and I'll be getting it from a dealership farther away which sucks, but it's better than waiting until God knows when. The dealership is like 10 minutes down the road from where Sidoh stayed the last summer he was in MD... I had his apartment saved in my GPS and so I saw it pop up on the screen on my way to the dealership today and was like "Man, too bad Sidoh isn't going to be in MD this summer".

I did get a scratch on a piece of plating near the inner part of the tailpipe going around a traffic circle... skimming the curb... it was a side swipe of the curb at stopping speed... wheels/rubber never touched the curb... it looks like only one small piece would need to be replaced and maybe a nut/screw, not the whole tailpipe or anything.

I'm so noob, so pissed at myself. Was all going well until that, wasn't even on a busy traffic or on the worst part of the drive back. Meh, gah, I'm such a screw up. Oh well, it's what I get for being impatient and too cheap to rent the 14' U-Haul truck or waiting until I could find someone at work with a truck + trailer/ramp to borrow. Fuck me.

Greetings from Germany!

A lot has happened since I've last posted here. Recorded and released a five song EP (download available here for those interested (http://www.vaydenmusic.com/free/vayden_EP.zip)), and now we're in Germany for three months. Started off with a kickass festival (http://youtu.be/04Rl9TcmzmE (http://youtu.be/04Rl9TcmzmE)), now we have two months off in a small rural town with not a single worry (free house + food + booze) but to write our next record. Heavy touring the last month out here in a massive double-decker tour bus (my first tour bus), then back to the states to hopefully record another record. If only life was always this much fun. :)

Ha ha! I'm not sure how I survived so long with the nefarious kitchen chair. The fact it didn't hurt to stand up after a few hours in it is a huge plus :) It totally makes the trip to two Office Depots worth it.

For some reason, this reminds me of how I hate Steam and older games they sell. For the entire Jedi Knight series, I had to search on forums to get a fix for Windows 7. Why doesn't Steam just release these fixes themselves? GOG does :)

I like my mice simple...cheese and peanut butter eating creates so that I can set traps for them and have a decent presumption that I'll catch one of the buggers. I don't want to run into a mouse that is like the rat from the animated movie Ratatouille, cuz then I'd have to spend $80 on a chunk of cheese to catch the little bastard.

OR!, I guess I could buy the cheese (and some nice wine and crackers) for myself, lure the guy out, and simply place a box over him and catch him that way. I guess I could then release him...or kill him quickly with a shovel. Whatevs.

Fair enough. I was just wondering if there was an objective reason for wanting to see it.

I thought it was a little strange that Chrome didn't show it when I first switched, but now it doesn't bother me and I realize it's totally unnecessary. It makes it clear that I'm browsing with HTTPS when I am, which is really the only reason to show the protocol.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!

I don't have an issue with Chrome or Firefox 7 omitting the display of "http://". They still prefix the "https://" for encrypted sites, in addition to their security indicators (Firefox it's a 5-tiered color scheme, Chrome it's a 4-tiered icon/color scheme).

I would have more an issue getting used to it if they didn't prefix the "https://" and only had the security indicators.

What would have been really annoying is if when you copy & pasted a URL from the address bar they didn't include the "http://" in what's copied to the clipboard. With Chrome and Firefox 7, as long as the copied selection is from the start of the URL, it transparently includes the "http://" to what's copied to the clipboard.

Seems to me that it really depends on the application. If the data are very naturally structured as XML, it's probably a lot easier to write nice code.

That's not the point, there's no such thing as elegant code whenever you have to work with XML, no matter what library you use IMO.

Have you used .NET 3.5+ LINQ-to-XML? It's as close to elegant as I've ever seen. I understand VB makes it even better (it's a native data type), though I've never used that. I like composing:

Code: [Select]

var doc = new XDocument(
    new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", null),
    new XElement("Root",
        new XElement("FirstLevelDeep", 
            new XElement("SecondLevelDeep",
                new XAttribute("Value", 2)
            )
        )
    )
);

produces:

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Root>
    <FirstLevelDeep>
        <SecondLevelDeep Value="2" />
    </FirstLevelDeep>
</Root>

Traversing it is really cool too, because you can apply LINQ operations to the traversals. For example, take my sample XML configuration file from JinxBot - http://code.google.com/p/jinxbot/source/browse/trunk/development/projects/JinxBot/Configuration/SampleConfig.xml

Here's the code that reads it: http://code.google.com/p/jinxbot/source/browse/trunk/development/projects/JinxBot/Configuration/ConfigurationLoader.cs#73

That's a little complicated, but here are the details:

Code: [Select]

<JinxBotConfiguration xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <Globals>
       ...
    </Globals>
    <Profiles>
        <ClientProfile ProfileName="DarkTemplar~AoA on useast.battle.net (Starcraft: Brood War)">
            <Client>SEXP</Client>
            <VersionByte>209</VersionByte>
            <PrimaryCdKey>1111111111111</PrimaryCdKey>
            <GameExePath>C:\Gamefiles\STAR\Starcraft.exe</GameExePath>
            <StormDllPath>C:\Gamefiles\STAR\Storm.dll</StormDllPath>
            <BattleSnpPath>C:\Gamefiles\STAR\Battle.snp</BattleSnpPath>
            <Username>DarkTemplar~AoA</Username>
            <LockdownImagePath>C:\Gamefiles\STAR\STAR.bin</LockdownImagePath>
            <Password>password</Password>
            <ServerUri>useast.battle.net</ServerUri>
            <ServerPort>6112</ServerPort>
            <CdKeyOwnerName>Robert Paveza</CdKeyOwnerName>
            <Ping>Normal</Ping>
        </ClientProfile>
        ...
    </Profiles>
</JinxBotConfiguration>

This code gets the root element, JinxBotConfiguration:

Code: [Select]

document.Root

This then gets the single child "Profiles" element:

Code: [Select]

document.Root.Element("Profiles")

This then gets a generator which provides foreach access over the internal "ClientProfile" elements:

Code: [Select]

document.Root.Element("Profiles").Elements("ClientProfile")

Then instead of iterating over it with a foreach, I use a projection function, which converts it into a real class object:

Code: [Select]

document.Root.Element("Profiles").Elements("ClientProfile").Select(profile => CreateProfileFromElement(profile))

That expression yield an IEnumerable<ClientProfile>, which can be foreach'd over or turned into an array or whatever.

I think it's pretty cool... :)

Yes, familiar with all of those API, API isn't the problem.

My biggest complaint with XML is the dependence on string literals/ constants. I know you can't get around having them and 'elegant' is probably the wrong word to use- I think the thing I hate the most about XML is the fact that code is I can't get around having to litter my code with so many string constants/ literals. I just normally don't associate elegance with requiring code to have lots of string constants and literals.

I don't have trouble sleeping anymore, I can make it through a day of work without being exhausted at the end, and feeling better about myself is leading to massively reduced anxiety. Basically win all around.

I avoid it because I've done it as a job, and I didn't like it. :(

I like programming, just not web stuff. Would rather be digging through data or something. hehe.
At my work I do both while web designing. Universities have a surprisingly large amount of data relating to employees to sort through...

Yeah, I don't mean to say that both don't happen. I had to do some rails stuff at work last summer that still involved big data.

There are just things about web design that are really boring to me, so I like to avoid it whenever I can.

My biggest complaint with XML is the dependence on string literals/ constants. I know you can't get around having them and 'elegant' is probably the wrong word to use- I think the thing I hate the most about XML is the fact that code is I can't get around having to litter my code with so many string constants/ literals. I just normally don't associate elegance with requiring code to have lots of string constants and literals.

But the trade you get in return is that the resultant data is very easy to understand by humans. Usually.

You can always swap out the literals with constants.

Either way, I don't see how that's any different than, say, reading an .ini file for settings or whatnot.

fucking....word. I stopped smoking in March and started to hit the rec center 4 times per week. I felt amazing. Then, my woman got all whore-y on me and I went back to drinking + smoking + not exercising. I felt like shit. So, recently, I decided I shouldnt be a moron, and I stopped smoking and hit the gym again. I feel lots better, and it's only been 2 weeks since I stopped smoking (gym sucked cuz I am getting over a cold, and I cough like an 80 year old smoker now).

Being healthy fuckin rocks.

For writing/reading to/from a configuration file, yes I'd agree, XML is no better than any other solution. But your example is a simple case. In fact, if it were merely a matter of storing configuration data of my own defining, I wouldn't be complaining because I wouldn't need ANY string constants/ literals for XML tags/IDs in my code. There are two options I could choose from depending on the situation: Define an XML schema and generate class types with the XML Schema Definition Tool (Xsd.exe) (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x6c1kb0s%28v=VS.90%29.aspx), and use the XmlSerializer (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.serialization.xmlserializer%28v=VS.90%29.aspx) to serialize/deserialize the generated classes to/from the configuration file. Or, easier, define the configuration data as DataContracts (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.serialization.datacontractattribute%28v=VS.90%29.aspx) and simply use the DataContractSerializer (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.serialization.datacontractserializer%28v=VS.90%29.aspx) to serialize/deserialize the data contracts to/ from a configuration file.

So yeah, I was using hyperbole in my original posts because at the time I was fed up with the current XML work I have to do which isn't as nice to work with. I generally think XML is overused, design choices are made in its favor without any real good reason or for stupid reasons where the negatives outweigh any positives.

I disagree. XML is not easy to understand for non-trivial applications. XML reminds me of template errors generated by GCC or Visual Studio ... you could put a lot of effort to parse those errors if you wanted (I usually just go to the line instead).

If it's complicated and humans need to edit it, it's probably worth it just to write your own language and parser.

I've lost an inch or two on my waist from starting weight lifting. Which sucks, because I already don't fit in Western clothes. -_-

@iago, sorry if this is too personal, but "coming out"?

@deadly, western clothes? like...wranglers & shit? You aint shopping properly, then. "western" clothes, from what I've found, have the best selection of sizes. small waist + tall to fat + short.

@me, I'm up to a 36" waist :(. When I started college I was a 28-29. Around 2008 I started to put on fat :(...weird, cuz thats when I first went to the gym. Then I stopped gym, drank, and the weight REALLY packed on. I'm now 5'10" and 170lbs. I dislike.

Side note: I'm house/animal sitting for Dani. This neighborhood is shit, and domestic dispute are so common next door that I dont call the cops. last Friday there was a fire truck and ambulance next door. This friday, I heard yelling outside, so I checked out the window and noticed the dispute was actually across the street...it was a hispanic couple. She was pushing him and yelling. I looked down to dial 911, and when I looked back up, I saw her on the ground. She eventually got back up and he was all "aww sorry" looking and she was leaning against the wall of a house (not their house, cuz that house has been for sale since July 2010 or earlier). she couldnt walk well. I called for this dispute cuz I care. The next door people are scum white trash that hopefully kill each other off/OD (rapists, murders, drug dealers, etc are next door - I'm glad I no longer live here). I figured I'd walk out (mediate it/break it up/whatever), but I saw them getting all apology-like to each other, so I figured the cops could handle it.

Clothes sized for Americans, sorry.
Unless you're: short and stout, tall, or anywhere in between, you won't fit without getting stuff tailored down.
To date, I've found *ONE* pair of jeans in my life that I can wear without a belt holding them up, and they were raw denim.

Wouldn't matter. Clothes proportionally sized for a 5'5" person don't exist, unless he's got a huge waist. Contrastingly, in Asian countries where the average height is closer to mine, I can find stuff that actually fits.

At least it'd fit? I thought that's what you were worried about. ;)

This nonsense about abercrombie => douche sort of confuses me. The quality of their clothing is significantly higher. So is the cost. Get stuff on clearance, and you no longer have to worry about the cost.

Significantly higher than what? I can assure you any brands I buy wouldn't be on that list.

Also, any shirt that's plastered with the company's name in size 80 font screams "douche bro" to me. Then again, I've stopped finding t-shirts appealing.

Mostly everything I've tried? Abercrombie isn't the best quality, but it's certainly above average. I'd never buy something at full price there; that'd be ridiculous.

Then don't buy a shirt that has the name plastered on it. They have plenty of clothing with no mention of their name (although they usually have the moose on them. i happen to like moose, so that's a plus for me :) ).

I don't really care, honestly. I'm just sort of irked when people say something like THAT STORE IS FOR DOUCHES MAN

Even after the moose wrecked your mom's car? Really? You should hate moose; unless, of course, the moose is of the peppered jerky variety.

For shirts, I tend to shop JC Penney or Macy's. They have a fairly good variety, and the sales can be amazing (80-90% off). I've never seen quite those sales at American Eagle or Abercrombie. I also have fond memories of the JC Penney mother-store.

Fair enough. I don't really go to Abercrombie, Express, etc. anymore so I liken them all to each other. Slowly phasing out the stuff I bought from there with nicer things I find at Saks, Neiman Marcus, certain online retailers, etc.

Having met Sidoh multiple times and seen his FB photos, we shop at pretty much the same clothing retailers haha.

I'm with deadly on his sentiment against "Graphic T's" which plaster ridiculously huge branding on them... I remember it was maybe two or three years ago, I think during their spring/summer line when Aeropostale decided to triple or at least double the size of their "A87" logo on every product they sold. Normally I find their logo amusing since I was also born in '87, but I found it obnoxiously annoying, so that season I did not buy anything from them :P. In fact, I haven't bought a "Graphic T" in a couple years now from any clothing retailer. But like Sidoh said, there's plenty of other types of shirts to buy depending on the season, albeit Graphic T's are the cheapest style of top to wear. I still buy mainly my clothes from Aeropostale, American Eagle, and Abercrombie (shit, didn't realize they all started with the letter A, WTF >_<). The quality is ain't shabby at any of the triple A's, but the prices are notably different amongst the three (listed them in order of cheapest to most expensive).

I can empathize with deadly even though I'm a few inches taller than him, I too find it difficult to go into a store and find smaller clothing sizes that fit me. The real reason I shop at the triple A's is because I'm lazy, apathetic to whether the clothing style befits me or not, and just want to get the whole chore over with. I can reliably walk out of the store with something that fits and not have put in a lot of effort; when I go to try on a size SMALL top/bottom or 28x32 or 30x32, size pant I am >90% confident that it's going to fit. Whereas at department stores and other retailers, size and fit varies greatly. There's a 25% probability that a size SMALL anywhere else is going to fit me satisfactorily, and I can forget about trying to find a X-SMALL in the color/print I'm looking for because that probability is even lower. Granted, I've found that I generally can't find clothes that fit ANYWHERE during major sales and clearance events, which is why I've stopped trying to buy clothing during these times.

I used to not care about clothing, and back then I would shop at all your typical mall stores. Express, Abercrombie, Aeropostale, etc etc. That led to me amassing a lot of clothes, most of which suck. Now I spend more per item and get fewer items.

Pants are definitely where finding clothes sucks. My waist is definitely smaller than a 30, but no stores carry smaller than a 30. I will on occassion find some jeans at Old Navy that are a 28 or 29, and those fit better. When it comes to suit jackets and shirts, if I look hard enough for my size I find things fit me well without tailoring.

I've had shirts from AE/abercrombie last many years without noticeable signs of wear. I'd say that's a pretty strong indication that they don't suck ;p

This is just false, ftr. Maybe it just depends on the geographic region you're in? I shopped for pants this summer 'cause I needed them while in SF. Every store I looked at had pants ranging from 28+.

I have the opposite problem, I cannot find shirts that fit well for the life of me. I have a skinny neck, long arms, and big shoulders. Basically anything I find that fits my neck is guaranteed to be an inch or more too small in the shoulders. Hate hate hate.

I have the opposite problem, I cannot find shirts that fit well for the life of me. I have a skinny neck, long arms, and big shoulders. Basically anything I find that fits my neck is guaranteed to be an inch or more too small in the shoulders. Hate hate hate.

I should introduce you to my alterations tailor. That guy's worked miracles with my wardrobe.

Damn truck. Tires are wearing poorly (wont align properly anymore). Tirerods + upper & lower ball joints may be bad. Rear ujoint is bad, but Ford had a FUCKING retarded design, so I cant nicely spend an hour and $20 to replace it - I have to spend $320 to replace it, or buy a custom built shaft for $350-400 (or a Ford shaft for $800 + labor, but fuck that).

I think some of yall are/will be engineers, so word of advice: dont fuck it up :)!
Design problem on my truck: A sanely-designed rear ujoint on a RWD vehicle should have clips that hold the ujoint caps in. In 2004-05, Ford decided it could save money by staking the caps in (i.e., pinching the caps into place, so they aren't mechanically held in, but are permanently held in). That staking means a shit ton of obnoxious pounding and jimmy-rigging the new joint in; whereas a clip just means unclip, pound out the old cap, pound in new, replace clip, done, drink beer. I'm buying a new drive shaft for $350-400 now (local Ford dealer will replace old ujoint for $320, but then I might encounter this problem in the future), when a new ujoint should be under $50.

FRICK!

That said, a hot chick invited me to a self defense class tomorrow night - we're gonna learn about defending ourselves from knife attacks. I fully expect my ass to get handed to me and to look like a fool in front of her (she trains LOTS in ju-jitsu [I probably fucked that up]).

Washed, waxed, and covered up my bike for the winter. Sucks that I don't live someplace where the weather is nice enough to ride all year round. Oh well, I got what I needed out of the bike- experience. I've clocked ~1300 miles... not that bad consider I haven't ridden it much in the last couple of months and got it in late July. I'll be selling my bike in the spring and upgrading to something more powerful, a 600cc methinks.

When I buy laptops now, I don't even boot up the OEM Windows. I immediately install my own.

I'm pretty sure the key they give you with laptops can be used to install a fresh copy now.. never used to be like that. I can give you a .iso of any version of Windows if you need - assuming you own a legit copy, of course. :)

I picked up an ASUS Transformer tablet on Black Friday and absolutely love it. I grabbed the external dock/keyboard/extended battery (http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/) which really makes it perfect. ASUS did a great job designing this hardware well. I use it as both a tablet and netbook almost seamlessly. I could probably rave about it for an hour but I won't bore you and I normally don't rave anyway...so take that for what it is worth!

If you do end up wanting to sell it, I'd be interested if the price is reasonable. Although, you're in Canada so I'm not sure how shipping/ taxes/ customs factor into such a transaction.

Yeah. I'm not sure what graduate schooling I'd like to do.

Physics? Really have close to no interest in the subject. The rigorous 4 year crash course in algebra (that the university calls a physics program) only made me realize nothing in physics is worth the tiny bit of money you can make doing research in it. I'm definitely not that great at it -- it's not for me. It's interesting, but it's not something I'd like to study.

A similar story for CS, but a bit more interest in the subject and a better grasp of the subject material.

Ideally I'd like to blend the two fields for a graduate program (some research in quantum computing comes to mind) but I wouldn't even know where to begin hunting down viable programs for me to apply to, given my lack of actual research experience and my pathetic 3.3 GPA.

I'd rather take my degrees/work experience (which I have a solid amount of) and get a sweet job somewhere. But that's terrifying too. Real responsibilities? Boo!

So I got diagnosed with migraines ~6 months back or so.

Never really thought them a huge deal. They forced me to lie down in a dark room and roll back and forth in pain until I passed out. Shitty, but they do no physical damage to me, so whatever. They occasionally cause me to vomit, but alcohol causes that way more frequently so the vomiting aspect of them wasn't much worse than the pain.

Then I got back to school. I started getting them nearly every other few days. I eventually got used to the pain and just dealt with it when they did happen. Then I started getting them while doing schoolwork on campus. And I thought, gee, there's no way they could get more inconvenient than that.

That is, until one happened during my final exam 3 hours ago. If there is a God, he wants me staying a full fifth year in college. Damn I hope I passed that exam/class. I think I'll be scheduling an appointment with a specialist relatively soon.

Worst part? I've got another final in an hour. I'm hoping I don't get one there too. But given that I've had two today (one this morning around 130am prior to the final exam one) it wouldn't surprise me too greatly. Bleh. :/

Doesn't' your school have provisions for that? I know that if you tell your professors about that ahead of time here (eg: start of semester) they give you extra time if you have medical problems during.

Most likely. I'm gonna go to on-campus health services and ask what I should do if this happens. For now I'll deal with it if it happens during my last final... which is proving impossible to get motivated for.

Hey people. I hope all has been well with all. I know many of you are now well into your respective computer science careers. Congratulations! If y'all will oblige, I would like to know if anyone here has pursued (or has to decided to pursue) a M.S. (or higher?) in CS? What are your thoughts/reflections about it? I've heard that it's completely unnecessary if you're simply looking to make more money. However I feel that perspective lacks the whole "fulfillment" factor. So basically I want know if (a) was it worth your time, (b) worth your $, (c) completely (ir)regrettable. None of these are necessarily mutually exclusive of course. Believe it or not, the diversity of opinion around here is very lacking, so I'm keen to hear the opinion of people with, iirc, diverse backgrounds (I'm looking at you Joe). I'm asking this here since I've known (sort of) many of you for a long time, and since you're all nerds like I am.

If you feel generous enough to chat, I can still be reached via AIM@ProfessorTruth69, or whatever the kids are using these days. Anyway, someone hit me back! And by look of these boards, preferably this year...

Hey, you ended up at Stanford, right? How many years do you have left? I ended up working with a couple of people from Stanford last summer. I dunno how many people are in your program... is it possible you'd know them?

I'm graduating next winter (M.S. - would do PhD, but tired of being poor). Would've been sooner, but I put off finding a thesis topic until this semester.

(a) Yes, I'd say so. I learned some things, but depending on where you go, I think it's probably a more pleasant life than the alternative. I've really enjoyed my time here.

(b) Well, in my case (and in most cases, as far as I'm concerned), you don't generally pay to go to graduate school. You get an assistantship. I've been a TA for the CS department's discrete math course, which covers tuition and pays a stipend. It's enough to live on without having another job if you're sufficiently frugal.

That said, however, one has to consider the opportunity cost. I could've very easily gone into industry with a nice starting salary. Not doing so has probably cost me on the order of $100k. That sucks.

To me, though, it's been worth it. It's afforded me the time to do a few more internships, which has very likely influenced my desired work environment. Before starting here, I was pretty sure I'd like to end up working for IDA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_for_Defense_Analyses) or something similar. After interning at a reasonably well-established startup, I'm pretty sure that's more my cup of tea.

It's been nice to relax. It's given me time to work on some projects that I probably wouldn't have been able to get around to otherwise.

This is important, though: don't pursue a graduate degree in CS if your aim is higher starting salary. It's pretty much useless for that. You'll probably start with a slightly higher salary, but in the amount of time it took you to earn the degree, a person who went straight into industry after undergrad has probably had sufficient promotion opportunities to more than make up for it. Not to mention the fact that the industry person is better established than you and will probably have an easier time moving to companies of his or her choosing.

(c) Neither, really. If faced with the decision again, I'd do the same thing, but I don't think life would've been much better or worse had I chosen to go into industry after undergrad.

Hey people. I hope all has been well with all. I know many of you are now well into your respective computer science careers. Congratulations! If y'all will oblige, I would like to know if anyone here has pursued (or has to decided to pursue) a M.S. (or higher?) in CS? What are your thoughts/reflections about it? I've heard that it's completely unnecessary if you're simply looking to make more money. However I feel that perspective lacks the whole "fulfillment" factor. So basically I want know if (a) was it worth your time, (b) worth your $, (c) completely (ir)regrettable. None of these are necessarily mutually exclusive of course. Believe it or not, the diversity of opinion around here is very lacking, so I'm keen to hear the opinion of people with, iirc, diverse backgrounds (I'm looking at you Joe). I'm asking this here since I've known (sort of) many of you for a long time, and since you're all nerds like I am.

If you feel generous enough to chat, I can still be reached via AIM@ProfessorTruth69, or whatever the kids are using these days. Anyway, someone hit me back! And by look of these boards, preferably this year...

Thanks.

Hey, you ended up at Stanford, right? How many years do you have left? I ended up working with a couple of people from Stanford last summer. I dunno how many people are in your program... is it possible you'd know them?

I'm graduating next winter (M.S. - would do PhD, but tired of being poor). Would've been sooner, but I put off finding a thesis topic until this semester.

(a) Yes, I'd say so. I learned some things, but depending on where you go, I think it's probably a more pleasant life than the alternative. I've really enjoyed my time here.

(b) Well, in my case (and in most cases, as far as I'm concerned), you don't generally pay to go to graduate school. You get an assistantship. I've been a TA for the CS department's discrete math course, which covers tuition and pays a stipend. It's enough to live on without having another job if you're sufficiently frugal.

That said, however, one has to consider the opportunity cost. I could've very easily gone into industry with a nice starting salary. Not doing so has probably cost me on the order of $100k. That sucks.

To me, though, it's been worth it. It's afforded me the time to do a few more internships, which has very likely influenced my desired work environment.

Thank you for the thorough response. I have one more year left here until I graduate, but the application process starts this summer. I'm actually not a CS major, so the chances I know your co-workers aren't that great. Drop a couple names and some would probably ring a bell though. Anyway, what exactly do you mean it was more pleasant than the alternative? The alternative being going into industry?

Also to clarify, my question about money was moreso about justifying doing the degree--its not my motivation. The fact is my major is kind of broad, so I've only taken a handful of serious CS courses (the 'core', so to speak), so I'm pretty sure I'm lacking in some key undergrad-level areas. That's why I'd like to take a year to basically just dedicate myself to catching up + doing graduate level shit.

Fundamentally, I'd learn the material for its own sake, but I won't play with you and pretend that money is not a factor. A M.S. here generally is not paid -- TAships actually (i.e. anecdotally) cover only about 50% of tuition, + stipend. So that's definitely an issue, as the idea of being saddled with debt is never appealing (particularly since I don't have a job / significant savings). The upside is that it would only take a year. The opportunity cost is not an issue - I'm probably going to be in school for a long time whatever I decide to do. The main things for me is that it get me some of the more interesting internships / work experience, which generally require more previous experience than I have (Aside: Factual (http://www.factual.com/) is one of the cooler startups I've seen. Basically the type of company I'm all about).

I was hoping an MS would unlock some sort of 'higher tier' of job opportunities, but I guess it doesn't really. It seems from what you've said that its probably better just to find a job immediately. It's weird, I was very set on doing one until it struck me to ask for a second opinion -- virtually every reply has been along the lines of yours, i.e., that 'it's nice but not necessarily worth it'. It's kind of sad that the CS MS is not as differentiated from the BS, like in other fields. I think it definitely has the potential, given the breadth of the subject. Anyway, it was good to finally hear a cogent opinion from a non-sycophant (slight exaggeration, but not really). Thanks.

So what have you decided to do now? Out of curiosity, was money your only reason for not pursuing a Ph.D? I'd definitely understand not liking the time commitment either. On the other hand, its 100% free...

P.S. If one you bosses would like to give me the DL on certification (which ones actually matter and for what), I'd be much obliged. Google can be a difficult wench at times.

It's not really very important. There was a Kurt, and a Takashi. Was just curious. :)

Yep, the alternative being going into industry. As fun as working for a startup was, I could tell there would be plenty of times it would still feel like the grind. Grad school affords me a lot of free time (granted, much of that can probably be attributed to the fact I go to a pretty sub-par school. I chose it for its location, not its academic reputation. :)). It's been a really pleasant couple of years.

Sounds like it might be worthwhile for you. If you feel like you're lacking some fundamental skills that would give your competition an edge, then I'd say it's probably a worthwhile investment.

Yeah, as far as I know, it doesn't. I'm sure there are a few rare exceptions, but as far as startups and companies like Google, Facebook, Yelp, etc. go, they don't care that much about an MS. They're concerned with how skilled an engineer you are, and that doesn't really correlate very well with having an MS over a BS.

There are positions that you can't really get without a PhD or rockstar status, though. For example, research positions at Google, Microsoft, and IBM would probably be pretty hard to land without a PhD or some reputation as an academic (being published, conferences, etc.)

Not sure yet. I'd like to be self employed eventually, but I'll probably work in silicon valley for a while. Lots of startups and companies to choose from.

I don't pay any money, but opportunity cost is very relevant to me. And I'm not really interested in positions that would (for the most part) require a PhD. Basically, I'd like to get on with life and start making money.

It's been a really pleasant couple of years.

I believe that all schools (above some minimum threshold) provide roughly the same education. The curriculum is generally the same, and in my opinion, so is the instruction. Honestly, most of the worst lecturers I've had were usually the most decorated. I think too many people, not meaning you of course, equate intelligence, even notability, with professorial excellence. They eventually come to find they're sadly mistaken. I've found that the major difference lies in the number of 'opportunities' on campus, which admittedly is almost circular logic because good students go to schools that recruit, while recruiters go to the schools that have good students... this is kind of how I think of academic reputation in general. Things like USNews & WorldReport have created simulacra, reputations that exists simply because we believe them to. And I agree, people don't value location enough when making this sort of decision. I've lived my entire life in a mediterranean-subtropical climate, and that's not likely to change :P.

What is your major anyway?

My major is Symbolic Systems (http://symsys.stanford.edu/) with a concentration in Neuroscience (http://symsys.stanford.edu/viewing/htmldocument/16200). I didn't want to complicate the question, but I'm also pre-medical, and I'm considering a MD/Ph.D in Neuroscience. I can dream about it anyway. That's a separate path from what I asked you though, since I could just learn whatever CS I needed while doing that. The basic theme in all this is that I never really knew what I wanted to do in high school or college, I never had that 'click' that actually goes off in a lot of people, the one that immediately decides their fate.

I originally wanted to do your major, as I think its curricula is the most aesthetically pleasing, in a fucked didactic sense. If educational reform ever becomes a reality, many people think that there will be a far greater emphasis in math and CS, particularly in childhood. Anyway, double majoring in Math/CS is very difficult here, as I'm sure it is every else. One big reason is you can't double-count classes, and there is too much overlap. At least I couldn't take it :P. Also, biology is great now. In the last few years it has become highly rigorous/quantitative, which is always a good thing. It's at the point some mathematician (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Lander) can just go in with rudimentary biological knowledge and still fuck shit up. So basically my interests are broad, which made the specificity and depth of the MS appealing.

That's true, and if money becomes the deciding factor I'll probably consider doing so. However, there's pretty huge (as in almost guaranteed if you don't fuck up) advantage in applying here as a student. It's also simpler -- 3 recommendations and the GRE. I wouldn't mind moonlighting as well, since like you said, your workload isn't actually that large. Trickin' in Oaktown brings in large $ anyway.

Haha, I do not. I meant that searching the interwebs wasn't especially helpful. Somewhat amusing story though: I went to a Google party in SF last year, as my friend from home was interning there during the summer. I was expecting the typical bourgeoisie bullshit, but instead we happened upon the most crunk (no other way to describe it) party I've ever been to here. Bitches stripping, product managers popping AND locking--even the software engineers appeared sociable at times :P. It was interesting to say the least. Particularly since someone there might end up interviewing me someday.

I have to rush to a dinner, so the new posts, while interesting looking, are far too tl;dr for me right now. However, it seems you are asking whether to get an MS in computer science and how that might affect your opportunities in industry mostly.

I am doing a PhD and I know for sure that it gives me incredible opportunities to do almost pure relatively unrestricted fascinating research at companies like Xerox, Microsoft, etc.

I have heard that an MS will lead to more interesting positions than having just a BS, but not necessarily higher paid positions. My sense is the PhD is a lot more valuable in terms of flexibility. The PhD is a much easier route to those positions, and I recommend it if you find an area of computer science you are really interested in anyways. The PhD itself is pretty awesome if you are in a good lab with a good supervisor and in a field you are naturally interested in. It's a unique opportunity to be really ambitious, to disregard corporate interests, to travel the world through conferences and workshops, and to become part of a community of fascinating people.

Got to run!

looking for money? fuck school. start a business. rich people aren't rich because they went to school (moreso about luck, it seems, though).

anyway, one of my best buds is at purdue finishing up his PhD in CS related crap (cant remember exactly what it is). PhD in the field, for him, seems to mean better jobs not in terms of money but in regard to other crap.

that said, a bonus of real science degrees is that schools give you scholarships. I'm working on an "MS" but it has nothing to do with science, so I pay for it. also working on a law degree, and the expectation is that I'll make lots, so no scholarships there either. Whatevs. I love it (until I kill myself because everything in life is bullshit).

Nevertheless, do it if you WANT to. That's the big thing.

BONUS: you dont get awesome jobs by being smart; you get OK jobs by being smart-enough, good jobs by being smart, and awesome jobs by doing shit yourself.

This is pretty true. The company I worked for last summer (and will again this summer) actually discourages its current and prospective employees from pursuing an MBA. They don't value it. The management constantly belittles the value of MBA-like degrees.

I'm typically a very private person, but I'll contribute to this thread.

I bought a new bicycle last Monday, a Fuji CrossTown 2.0 (http://www.fujibikes.com/bike/details/crosstown-20-usa3). I got into biking at an internship last year and was biking a mere 40 miles a week (it's really not that much). Anyway, I was hired and I plan to bike to work again (and everywhere else, until I buy a car).

Here's why I bought this particular bike:
- My psuedo-boss would get flats with his road bike like 10 times a month.
- I was using a rusty mountain bike and never got a single flat in 6 months.
- This bike is a hybrid with seemingly rugged tires.
- The area I'll be moving to is relatively rural, so the shocks might be useful (even though I think they're goofy).

I'm really out of shape. I've been biking it around Tallahassee and there are tons of hills. The hills seem subtle in a car, but you can really tell the difference on a bicycle. I have to say though, biking 5 miles is pretty trivial. Hell, my psuedo-boss would bike 10-20 miles pretty easily. The really annoying stuff is rain, hills and wind (man, wind can really slow you down).

After reading their social media policy, I don't really want to share the name of my employer.

Oddly enough, there are a lot of businesses in Princeton. I have no idea why! Some people claim its due to the University. But I knew of no Princeton graduates where I interned. I guess there was a Princeton intern, but no full-time employees who were Princeton graduates (that I know of).

The saddest part is that there were no Americans where I worked. They were mostly European and Chinese with some Indians. My psuedo-boss was the only North American (Canadian) that works there (that I know of).

- My psuedo-boss would get flats with his road bike like 10 times a month.
- I was using a rusty mountain bike and never got a single flat in 6 months.
- This bike is a hybrid with seemingly rugged tires.
- The area I'll be moving to is relatively rural, so the shocks might be useful (even though I think they're goofy).

I'm really out of shape. I've been biking it around Tallahassee and there are tons of hills. The hills seem subtle in a car, but you can really tell the difference on a bicycle. I have to say though, biking 5 miles is pretty trivial. Hell, my psuedo-boss would bike 10-20 miles pretty easily. The really annoying stuff is rain, hills and wind (man, wind can really slow you down).

Bicycle? Florida? Screw that. I'd be able to pedal about 5 feet before being drenched in sweat. That humidity is killa, bro-skie.

Not xenophobic at all. It's very sad because fewer and fewer Americans are doing research. I predict that the next wave of innovative technology will not come from this country (at least not natural born citizens) in the next few decades. It will come from Europeans and Asians who value education more than we do.

The future for Americans is iPhone, iPad, video games, TV, facebook and twitter. Oh, we'll sit in class and think about what game we'll play when we get home. Or we'll text on our iPhone obsessively, or dink around with our iPad. We'll surf facebook for hours and make a lot of pointless comments. And the worst part is, this isn't the government's fault (in my opinion). Sure, there are underfunded schools and goofy policies, but we seen to have a very bad attitude toward education. Where did it come from? Even if you fix the schools, there will be a cancer of bad attitudes plaguing our school children.

So, what's Joe up to? Well, he's up to a whole not much.

A friend of mine just got a job at a startup here in town doing iOS development for $40/hr. They're looking to hire "ASAP" and as far as I know have only one iOS candidate (yours truly), so hopefully I won't be broke in a few weeks.

Other than that, I'm winding up my third year in my two year degree (apparently this is common, I'm not just a slacker) and I have about 50% of my credits done (that's what puts me in slacker territory). But seeing how people who haven't finished at my school are getting snatched up at the startups around here for a very pretty penny, I'm not very interested in finishing my generals. Obviously I will get my degree some time in the not-too-distant future, cause otherwise my dad will give me the same grief I gave him for dropping out of college, not to mention I'll be compared to our ~~fuhrer~~ governor, but yeah.

As far as other stuff, I've still got my motorcycle (less the front turn signals, which I need to get replaced). My fiancee also just got one, a GZ250 (http://76500) (not sure if I can hotlink). She's kind of nervous but I got her on the highway the other day and she rode all the way to work and she's learning how to negotiate traffic, etc. She has one problem I never had, and that's forgetting to downshift when coming to a stop. Probably cause I engine brake so I always know I'm going down in the gears. For those who haven't drove/ridden a manual, if you don't downshift when you come to a stop, then try to leave your stop in 3rd+ (2nd if you're a bad clutcher), you won't be leaving your stop. :)

That was a fun rant. See you next year!

Unless bikes are different, there's no problem with downshifting after you've stopped fully.

Post by: Joe on May 04, 2012, 04:36:13 pm

Bikes have a very simple shifter. It always returns to home position and you can click down to downshift or click up to upshift. So, if you come to a dead stop in 4th, you're going to hold your bike up on one foot and click down three times. Eventually you're going to come to a dead stop just as the light turns green and look like a dick while you sit there for a few seconds getting ready. Or worse, the moron behind you doesn't realize it's a red light and you need to be moving five seconds ago.

But mechanically, yeah, you can shift at a stop just fine. It's just not good practice imo.

Aye, it's good to get in the habit of down shifting to the necessary gear (per whatever the recommended gear for the RPMs/ speed you're at) in the case that you don't need to come to a full stop, but instead need to accelerate again. For instance, you are approaching a redlight, you start to slow down in preparation to come to a full stop but then the light turns green.

For me, I'm probably going to be selling my 2011 CBR250R soon- I plan to wash it, wax it, and take pictures of it this weekend most likely and then try to sell it on craigslist.

I have a harder time mocking religions like Jainism and Buddhism. These kinds of non-judgmental, dogmatically peaceful religions actually warm my heart a little. I can't accept their philosophies for the same reason I can't accept Christianity or Islam, but I have infinitely more respect for them.

The Abrahamic religions deserve every shred of mockery thrown their way.

Since we're talking about religion now, I might as well chime in. I'm still a Christian, but seeing the way that other Christians act, I've wanted to adopt a moral code of sorts, considering Christianity's moral code is essentially "be good, or else apologize and it's fine".

I haven't really accepted anything as "my" moral code / religion, but I've read about Buddhism's Noble Eightfold Path, and Jediism. I think some of their teachings are really good from a non-religious standpoint.

Ancient aliens is a neat idea, but there are two big problems with it from my point of view:

No (credible) archaeological evidence of aliens has been found. They left nothing behind yet have supposedly influenced early humans on a global scale? What kind of man power is needed to influence early humans on a global scale and how do you prevent even one individual from polluting the Earth with their presence?
No one seems to appreciate the size of the galaxy, let alone the universe itself. Even if intelligent life were relatively common, the distances are so great that it may take thousands to millions of years for an intelligent race to even receive electromagnetic radiation from us (and vice versa). Yet, even if we were to suppose that intelligent life had mastered efficient space travel ... where would they begin to look among the hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy alone? Why do we even presume that we have been found by aliens at all?

Have you ever seen Star Trek: First Contact?

[spoiler]The crew of the USS Enterprise-D went back in time to ensure that Zephram Cochrane's first superluminal space flight actually took place.[/spoiler]

The United Federation of Planets (and many species before it's formation) had a "Prime Directive", which is to not assist pre-warp societies with technological advancements, or more generally, don't let them know you exist.

Both of your questions are easily answered. The aliens could have been much smarter than we are. They directly implanted ideas into the brains of people around the globe. Also, they could have developed a technology that allows them to see planets great distances away without the lag associated with light-speed transmission.

Yes, I've seen it. Though, it doesn't seem quite the same thing. In First Contact, the Enterprise visits Earth in the past.

I've given your suggestion some thought (aside of moving), and while an intelligent race might have advanced to the point of altering our memories, they are claimed to have helped humans build monuments all over the world, either by advice or by providing advanced tools. Either way, the aliens are claimed to have had direct contact with humans from all around the world. Considering the man-power needed to influence humans on a global scale, it seems odd that no evidence has emerged to support the ancient alien hypothesis. Shouldn't there be a dead alien, a crashed ship, lost tools or parts, evidence of alien-inflicted human wounds (gods did attack humans)? Keep in mind, aliens are assumed to have influenced humans over periods of thousands of years on a global scale. Isn't it more likely that aliens didn't influence humans on a global scale over thousands of years?

Are you thinking it would take armies of aliens to influence primitive, ancient human civilizations on a global scale? A single alien could influence an entire villages of early human civilizations.

Religions are an attempt, among other things, to provide an explanation for the unexplained. I would think that in the early development of human civilization, an alien of far superior technology could pretty easily convince an entire city or village that it was a God. Early humans were pretty gullible. What we do not know, what we cannot explain, back then that would be a lot of things, could only be described in terms familiar to humans- goats, birds, fire, weather, etc. We were pretty noob.

I'd think that once a form of communication between the aliens and humans is established, the aliens wouldn't need to reside physically on the earth for thousands of years, they could have just stayed in orbit or went on their way exploring the universe, and drop by every now and then... and even if they did not, even if only a single Alien was left to "rule" each civilization... it wouldn't take many aliens to influence human civilizations methinks.

And if so little number of aliens actually on earth, the probability that we'd find the bodies of such thousands of years later if there were only dozens (if that) residing on earth seems slim to me. The aliens may very well honor their dead and have their own traditions of burial so if any aliens died on earth, their bodies might not have been left on earth.

Let me just say beyond watching a few Ancient Aliens episodes on The History Channel, I am by far not thoroughly familiar with the claims of the Ancient Alien theorists. So I'm just speculating for the fun of it.

Yes, I think it would be an enormous undertaking. I'm not necessarily talking about military, but the resources needed to travel light years through space, the expertise needed to maintain a ship that can travel light years through space, and the expertise needed to understand human culture and communications on a global scale. We don't even understand a handful of ancient South American cultures/languages and we've been studying their sites for decades.

What about remains of early humans and their ancestors that practiced ritualistic burials? Were these influenced by aliens? Couldn't religions have been entirely imagined to explain the world as it is? Do we need aliens to be analogous to gods? I think we are a very creative.

Considering that traveling near light speed is kind of like a "time machine" to the future, I suppose that it's possible that they "checked in" once in a while. Still, I think it is an enormous undertaking.

We've found bones on the order of millions of years old. We're talking the past 10000 years. Indeed, aliens may practice ritualistic burial, but that doesn't mean they can always recover their dead. A sophisticated alien race with a mastery over space travel does not necessarily mean they can dive miles under the ocean, nor does it mean they can always track the location of a crash on land (for example).

I don't mean to nit pick, but it really bothers me to call it a theory. It is not a theory, it is a hypothesis and one that lacks any evidence so far. However, it is a convenient explanation to some aspects of the past. However, I really think our ancestors were a lot cleverer and smarter than we think.

Sigh... I'm going crazy waiting for the recruiter to contact me to let me know whether or I'm still in consideration after Friday's phone interview. If I didn't noob up the interview and I'm still in consideration, I understand that it may take some time if there's still more applicants in the pool awaiting evaluation... but it'd be nice to at least know how long I can expect to wait. I was told that they were looking to fill the positions ASAP- whatever that means. I guess I'll give it two business days and then e-mail with an inquiry into the status.

Sigh... I'm going crazy waiting for the recruiter to contact me to let me know whether or I'm still in consideration after Friday's phone interview. If I didn't noob up the interview and I'm still in consideration, I understand that it may take some time if there's still more applicants in the pool awaiting evaluation... but it'd be nice to at least know how long I can expect to wait. I was told that they were looking to fill the positions ASAP- whatever that means. I guess I'll give it two business days and then e-mail with an inquiry into the status.

Dude, these guys are processing lots of applicants for tons of positions at once. Give them a break -- they won't forget about you. I'd say give it at least a full week before bothering them; doing so before that will probably only hurt your chances.

Really -- don't worry about it. If this doesn't work out, you have tons of opportunities elsewhere. Just relax and enjoy some vidja games, booze, fine ladies, sexy men-folk... whatever floats your boat :D

Supposedly Verizon is increasing at least the downstream portion for most fios subscribers in a couple weeks. Going to go from 35/35 to 75/35. This makes me happy. Give me all of the bits! ALL OF THEM!

The Strand? Good shoe choice. Not the best for court though, imo. Can't beat a solid black/brown blucher with a business suit though.

I was actually going to get the Strand but it's too much detailing for me. I have the Park Ave and the Suede Amok thus far, probably will get a couple more in the coming year or two.

lololol. You can still always have a stripper come out of a cake!!! ^_^;

I wonder, without having done any research on the subject, are male strippers generally cheaper or more expensive than female strippers (assuming relatively the same attractiveness)?

You actually know what shoe that is? Whoa. +1.
I would really like a 5th ave, but this Strand pair was on sale. As for the style in court, where I plan to go, many people (including judges) wear their ostrich boots, or some other nice cowboy boot --- some wear black walmart/payless "dress" shoes w/velcro and all *cringe*. I can't stick out much more than that. haha. Anyway, unless people _know_ shoes (e.g., you), they won't notice what's on my foot, so long as it is black.

Drake, my buddy's bro just came out, too. They (family) always thought of him as a "ladies' man". That said, he only came out to his bro. Your brother the same?
Also, how do you feel about it all?

iago takes the win for creepy.

my buddy apparently isnt totally on board with his brother being homosexual. he accepts it and is fine, it just seems like its a shock. we were all at a wedding last week, and my bud got super hammered and he made some joke that ended with "gays arent people." it was totally joking, but I think it hasnt totally hit him. we're all fairly conservative (more than fairly, but in a libertarian way). i think the news jacked with his perception of his family. he is also army, and was against the ending of DADT. to me, DADT seemed segregation-esque (bud is black). why exclude someone for what they are? beats me.

that said. I shared a fairly intense bro-kiss with a dude at the wedding. we're all mad-close, but just met him at wedding stuff. we all share bro hugs/kisses. well, this dude took the bro-kiss to a new level (ie, I was salivated upon). he is totally straight (apparently), but that bro-kiss was...yeah. my kips = closed,but his = open. since my gf has been out of town for about 5 weeks, it was the most action I'd had in a while. I felt weird. But, ya know what, it was bro-love. props that people can just be chill nowdays.

Yeah, I don't think you can really kiss someone on the lips in a nonsexual way... it is a sexual act. But yeah, good not to be too uptight as long as it works for you...

no homo makes everything legit.

anyway, monday = start date of a trial. trials in Lubbok aren't usually a big deal. This one is sorta big in that it's a big claim, but it's AMAZINGLY AWESOME in that plaintiff's lawyer is one of the top trial attorneys in the US (literally). He graduated from Texas Tech Law in the early 80s. He has won HUGE lawsuits across the US. He is basically the embodiment of what every lawyer should be: thorough, dedicated to his job, but moreso dedicated to his family and God.

New diet

Down 31lbs so far

Exercise starting this weekend (or Monday)

Goal is to complete a ToughMudder (http://toughmudder.com/about/) in England at the end of September (with some friends)

I want to do a ToughMudder really bad! I did the Living History Farms race up here in Iowa and it's similar-ish to the Toughmudder. Literally one of the most enjoyable events I have been to in a long while.

I wrote a shell script to do something a few months back. It worked on every machine we put it on but FreeBSD, because whatever version of make was installed on it used a different letter for an argument I needed to pass to it.

Other than that, freeBSD encounters are rare for me. =P

I'm not on any diet, but I did start working out at least every other day pretty recently. It helps reduce the frequency and strength of migraines surprisingly well. I get ice pick headaches in their place now; I figure if I keep this up maybe they'll all go away.

Try a keto or paleo diet for a while. They are pretty simple, not full of stupid food, and healthy.

Title: Re: Let's hear it!
Post by: Blaze on February 02, 2013, 01:58:17 am

I've done that twice now, and while it worked both times, it's really expensive. Exercise with a gradual reduction in calories (never do sudden drops!) is far more manageable and you can still eat out easily.

Nice! I dropped about 20 lbs summer-december...then I went home for Christmas and mom cooked. I sure can eat a lot when it's mom's cooking. I've lost 5 of the 15 re-gained.

...those diets seem a little (a lot) intense. I tried just limiting food intake and holy hell did that help a lot.

I read a few diet behavior studies (a lot of my master's degree has to do w/behavior, so I read a shit ton of psych studies), I found that having smaller plates (and therefore portions) = the #1 effective weight loss plan, with #2 being not eating while watching TV (no snacks, etc).

was it difficult for you to implement those diets? Stick with it?

off at 2pm today, so I decided to buy a burrito (Lubbock has boring mexican food, which is weird considering the number of hispanics) and a bottle of bulleit bourbon. fuck yeah.

I been getting paid recently, so I stashed away a few grand for summer (when I won't have a job because I'm studying for the bar), I bought a couple of suits (thanks, ebay, for getting me two $1500 suits for $600), bought a couple of ties (thanks, thetiebar.com), bought a tablet (laptop is making grindy noises and scaring me + one I've been lookin at since December was on sale). Life aint too bad.

also considering writing a book that covers New Mexico wills/trusts/estate/intestacy law in-depth. Only one book exists on the subject, and it's so simplified that it's actually technically wrong. I've been rocking the shit out of estate planning courses, and I think I'm setting myself up to be one of two (if not one of one) intense estate planners in Las Cruces when I go home.

It was hard at first but I have become adapted to eating lots of bacon, eggs, poultry, and steak. Celery and hard boiled eggs are both viable options for snacks if I'm feeling hungry, too. There's a lot of other recipes I want to try but haven't gotten around to yet as well.

I'm sure it's harder than it sounds (Sounds awesome! Minus the celery part). But it also sounds expensive, which would probably be the reason I wouldn't be able to stomach it.

got a windows rt tablet. hardware-windows integration is pretty legit, considering MS's usual fuck ups. that said, the lack of legacy stuff is fairly disappointing (my world for google chrome!!!)

I bought it to be a quasi-replacement for my laptop. Laptop is big, heavy, and is on its way out (it makes grindy noises in the fan :( ).

I'm on a Dell XPS 10. Preloaded w/Office 2013. The lack of any decent office apps was what drove me away from ipad and android devices (I had that Asus transformer infinity for a bit and really liked it, but that SOB crashed like the dickens).

The dell 92% keyboard is tiny, especially considering that my laptop has a full keyboard (num pad & all). While I'll miss the number pad, and the typing delay on the XPS dock is kind of obnoxious, I think it will work just fine since my typing accuracy isn't too terrible.

Again, though, the lack of Google Drive and Google Chrome makes me sadface.

It's more expensive, but the Surface Pro might be more what you're looking for. It's like a laptop and tablet hybrid but unlike the RT version of Windows 8, allows you to install all your other Windows applications not found in the Windows app store.

I'm contemplating getting a Surface Pro, here's one of the few practical reviews of it I've read: http://www.penny-arcade.com/2013/02/22/the-ms-surface-pro

working for the county and we need a database system to keep track of what's going on in cases (law cases). County IT sucks so I cant use free stuff (buying something is out of the question). I tried to look at Access forms & all, but FML. I figured "hey I created a product order program in VB a while ago [9 years], so I can probably do a decent DB today." I dl'd Visual Studio from my university and FML am I lost. I apparently forgot everything + cant navigate VS. Fail.

For what it's worth, I can't recommend staying away from MS Access (et al.) strongly enough. I've heard horror stories of legacy access DBs morphing into hideous monstrosities over years. However simple it seems now, I can nearly guarantee that it'll become more complicated, and it'll probably evolve to the point that it exceeds what access is capable of.

I've had to work with a legacy Access monstrosity before and I concur, stay away from MS Access. You'd be better of using MS SQL Server even though it would probably have more of a learning curve than MS Access.

VB6 and VB.NET are vastly different, there's some syntax similarities but for the most part .NET made VB much improved.
