They’re being pedantic about how the original question was worded in a gotcha attempt. Not worthy of a response.

Tailgating. It’s gonna kill you eventually so let’s streamline the process.
Also fuck you, especially when I’m in a god damned exit lane.

We’re headed for global serfdom, aren’t we?
By tenth grade I had been commissioned to write some software. When I completed it, I walked away from all of it because of the social stigma. Didn’t touch a computer again for ten years. I won’t say I regret that because walking away led me to other life adventures, but I will say I regret the circumstances that drove me to do it.
I had to go look up when those things came out (1977) because by the time I got my hands on one in 1982 in the school library they were already little more than toys even when compared to the luxurious Vic 20.
I know we played some games off cassettes on them. I feel like Oregon trail was one of those games, but I’m suspicious of my own memory because I know I was playing that on my Apple 2, which I think had joystick driven hunting on it.
God I’m getting old and can’t remember the finer points anymore.
I do remember that other kids bullied the HELL out of me for carrying one of those plastic boxes full of floppies with me at school. Not a good time to be a nerd back then.
Where’s the next Kent State? The weapons and armor are much bigger this time.
On the trust thing - every once in a while I’ll go to a concert by myself, stand in the back, and enjoy the moment and remember the old times.
More often than not, three or four young ladies will come up over the course of the evening and start giving me their life stories and their relationship struggles and whatnot.
This isn’t a flirting or drunk thing on either end of the equation. In that moment, they just seem to need somebody to listen to them.
Based on illustrated stories I was fed as a child, I would now like to know if the early Christians ate the dinosaurs after they were finished riding them.
I haven’t followed Korean politics since the nineties, so I can offer no opinion on that assertion. I can most certainly see somebody with those characteristics ascending to the Korean presidency though. I’ve no reason to doubt you.
Ah, the ole Ronnie Reagan approach!
If caffeine is considered a serious drug in my lifetime, I hope I’ve got a good cellmate because I’m going away forever.
I use a little splash of vinegar. Keeps it nice and clean without the whole chlorine gas part.
(I don’t know if bleach produces chlorine gas. Talking out my ass on that part)

I did not wake up this morning planning on watching a thirty seven minute video, but I watched all of it.
Perhaps with some irony or coincidence or whatever, I lived in South Korea for a few years in the nineties and dreamt that I was back there before I woke up this morning.
It’s easily manipulated. We already have barrier to entry in several professions via required degrees and certifications. Those degrees and certifications require significant time and resources to attain. They can also be skewed to certain demographic a la old school SAT exams.
My own personal experience is the CPA exam. Passing it shows me nothing of one’s accounting abilities. I’ve seen people who pass it and I wonder how they tie their shoelaces in the morning without injuring themselves. I’ve seen others who haven’t passed it but are brilliant accountants.
All that exam tells me is that a person had resources to not work for six to nine months so they could study and pass the exam. That’s it.
But without it, you’re just not gonna go very far in the industry at all.
Then the AICPA keeps making the exam more difficult and whines that there’s a shortage of young talent.
So what “merit” are we going to measure in this hypothetical system?
Ooohhhh. Thanks for the clarification
Not sure what you’re getting at there, but yes.
I took two hundred ounces on a plane once. Even though that’s only about fourteen pounds, it’s in such a dense area, that it gave my reasonably sturdy duffle bag a tough time at its seams.
