Saw at least one of my teachers drunk in public basically every night (local bar and grill).

That is a question of faith my friend.

You give love

Folks need to check out Red Dwarf (British sci-fi comedy).

Well, I and my AD&D group tried:

About once a year, we would play an "evil group". We were trying to capture a silver dragon to enslave it (a good creature). To attract it, we locked the men and women of the town in the church and set it on fire. Still not evil enough to get it's attention. So . . . we started throwing the children/babies in the fire too.

That did it!

comparison to electric furnaces. That has been widely known for years to be hilariously inefficient.

By this, I'm thinking you mean "electric resistance heating" - i.e an electric heater.

Electric resistance heat is 100% efficient. Heat pumps can easily be 200%+ efficient.

Funny you should mention this - we must have both worked at the same place.

BLUF - Management required us to mark wrong number calls as "closed, not resolved". Next day I had 6 calls all day (really slow Sat) with 2 wrong numbers. I didn't meet my statistics for 90%+ "first call resolution" - because the idiots in management required me to mark two as "not resolved".

I had to build a spreadsheet and trace in detail all 6 of my calls to show them why.

One of my SOs supervisors actually gave gold stars for good work. These were full grown adults, with children/mortgages/cars and, they thought, professional careers. She had worked there over 30 years when this happened.

Moral was quite affected by this "genius idea"!

Shot through the heart

If only they had purchased a smart employee that could count (like you) to do this job instead of a "stupid cow that can't count", this could have all been avoided. /s

Glad to hear they got what they wanted!

I've been a Christian all my life; I'm really, really sure that Christ can not only "restore" a body from nothing but make it much better than it was before. At least, I hope He plans to make it much better 😃

This brings back memories.

When I was in university, I worked in the computer services department (IT services for the campus). A social science prof down the hall would use a program called SPSS (Statistics Package for Social Sciences) to do various statistics on data sets.

It was available on two platforms: PC & VAX

The PC had about 4 MB of RAM. The VAX (a large centralized computer) had much more (not sure the amount, but I'm guessing around 256 MB at least). The data sets they were using would sometimes require more RAM to process than the PC had (even with swap space), and would give an "out of memory" error.

They always came down the hall and would ask us what to do. The answer was always the same, "Some combination of: get more RAM/swap space for the PC, shrink the data set, simplify the complexity of the query or run it on the VAX server."

They finally started saying, "We connect to VAX, get more memory?"

I don't know if they thought using telnet to connect to the VAX actually caused the local PC to gain RAM or not but it was an inside pun for the department for a couple of years ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) .

Not in 'merica it don't!

So many people I've met don't have a clue about critical thinking/reasoning.

Damn, he dodged a bullet there! (tell me he didn't marry her after that).

x1,000,000,000. WTF is happening to our country?

I thought that is what I said.

Can't say any of them last, but Teaberry was always a brand I liked.

I'm a traditionalist, so bias. I just never got a round to radials.

Woops, but WTF. How does anyone screw up that bad?

Guess they believed Putlers storyline about Ukraine being full of Nazis.

What a great place to store their portable holes in!
