This is my life.

Just saw a friend that is currently at Uni and asked them how they do it now (draw and dimension all at the same time). Small victories.

Removes 4 cm of paper between them; touché.

"well, have you tried like not thinking or learning everything you want to know?"

Speaks volumes.

I've been criticized for that, lots of people say "use the mouse, it's better". I say "how is it better?". They say "it just is".

The truth is that they can't do the keyboard shortcuts and are jealous.

My voting location has paper ballots counted by scanners (it's not practical or accurate/reliable to count that number of ballots by human hand).

If there's a question, just rescan the ballots. Nothing's perfect, but this (IMHO) is about as good as it gets.

The only change I would make is to have ranked choice voting.

My Drs office wouldn't accept a request over the phone or email. Had to be fax.

Because, apparently, there is some magic fairy that verifies it is me sending the request from the fax machine on my end (i.e. it's not possible for someone else to send a request for my medical records pretending to be me). 'cause you know "fax security" wouldn't allow that. /S

In university I took CAD and was chastised for drawing and dimensioning items at the same time. To me, it makes more sense to draw a circle and tell the CAD system that it's 10 mm in one fail swoop than to do it the way I was told to (draw it by "hand" approximately 10 mm then come back later and actually size it to 10 mm).

I asked why their way was better and got the answer I expected (just do it that way) :-( ).

Hong Kong Phooey (number one super guy)!

A lot of people are already living in: Leisure Suit Larry

Well, a quick search turned up this: Vacuum Arc

However, like the above comment, it seems to refer to freeing electrons from the conducts, so, IMHO, you no longer have a vacuum.

If you could somehow maintain a perfect vacuum; I wonder how this concept Virtual particle would come into play (or if it would at all).

With sufficient voltage, everything is a conductor.

With insufficient voltage, everything is an insulator.

Neither may be conducive to those roles, but everything has some conductivity and some resistance (super conductors being a possible exception).

My partner wants to know: How many stitches?

You didn't hear this from me, but I hear a lot of cubicle corners have removable caps that can make a great storage place for all kinds of interesting things.

Yaml parsing. Article was great.

I read part of it; it was too painful to read more.

I kept finding myself saying "Well that's stupid" over and over again.

Edit: To clarify, it's yaml parsing that is "stupid"; the article was great.

I started on a Pr1me 550 type II learning BASIC myself. Apple ][s came out about 4 years later. Then I used them. Windows SA now.

USA here: Or people saying "Don't work overtime, they'll just take it all in taxes".

Well, my marginal tax rate on income has never been 100% (yet). While there are other factors to consider if you feel working overtime is worth it or not to you personally. That is not a valid logic to use.

I was waiting and praying for paintballs!

Thanks for the pictures.

What country are those from (can't make out the markings on the meter)?
