When I was in college 20 years ago we weren't allowed to use calculaters in a 2 hour exam on projecting out management plans and the statistical analysis. If you needed to know the standard deviation you raised your hand and the prof came by and looked at your sheet and let you look at the SD on...

My dad is almost like that in some ways. In his engineering type work he spouts out a lot of answers before anyone even gets it written down or punched into a calculater or computer. I think most of it comes from when he started in the business it was all done by hand and the only calculaters...

I never really thought about how I got the answer. There was a guy who was an operator and I would run into him from time to time. He could do trig and find sin, tan and such quicker and to 4 digits faster than I could using my calculater that's made for that. He didn't know either how he did...

First world problems. Have X amount left in my steam wallet I thought I would spend during the sale. Everything I'm the least bit interested in is too cheap or too expensive by $1 lol. First world problems. I only have a balance because various people have given me gift cards. I didn't realise...

The one thing that 1984 struck me is how the government "big brother" took over everything and worked to get all the details by spying on you non stop. The one thing they missed in that is they don't have to dig now. Lot of it willingly handed over at every turn for the convenience and coolness...

I never noticed about the hat. But I remember him after the announcement going full emo "I just bought a house".

On sale now for $17.

I kind of hope no dev listens to him (and they likely don't). He definetly has that "bitch about a game and tell you what it needs, but doesn't have a clue on how to get there". Let me list 14 things a game needs, now go cook that up and get back to me. Still hard to imagine someone makes a...

Of course it's real, bosstown dynamics.....ummm no.

Steam down. Someone online said it was because of the halloween sale. Couldn't be that much traffic could it?

Hey, but he just bought a house.

I guess this might help viewership. https://dailysnark.com/two-girls-flash-astros-pitcher-gerrit-cole-before-pitch-in-attempt-to-distract-him-in-world-series/

That may be the option. I was thinking today any good mixer program would do that but I don't even know where to look. Especially since I have multiple headphones that are USB. Oddly enough my guitar multi effects pedal does it.

AP 1. LSU 2. Alabama 3. Ohio State 4. Celmson 5. Penn State 6. Florida 7. Oregon 8. Georgia 9. Utah 10. Oklahoma Coaches has LSU 2, Alabama 1

Watched the game recorded yesterday. I'm pretty sure tho I have no actual stats that LSU offensively this season has done more than the entire offense generated while Les Miles was coach.

Not sure what the technical term would be. I need a headphone or an adapter that will combine left and right inputs to one output. I know it won't be stero but I can only hear in one ear. If you use regular headhones they don't combine both channels to one ear, even using the built in mixer in...

Until just recently you had to show your work for ASME (American Society of Mechanial Engineers) calculations for pressure vessels. I think they did away with that.

I missed the LSU game today. Maybe I should just sleep thru all the games, they seem to win more when I'm not watching.

Listening to some audio books now since I really can't read. It's amazing listening to a few books I read years and years ago that who the reader is makes a big difference in how the story comes off. Started one, didn't really get into it and picked up another copy. Different reader, night and...

Trifold phone eh? Soon will be small rolling carts to hold the phone as you go.

Everyone knows math is opressive and racist. Not finalized but to even be on the agenda to discuss. Seattle used to be home of Boeing and they did a lot of math I'm pretty sure. Maybe this is why Boeing offshored some of the engineering...

A few days ago he was still being held because he couldn't come up with the $100k bond or something like that. He may have got out now but we in for a week at least. I guess he finally got out, the last update says next court appearance in January and surely not staying in that long.

Guess I'm a near lifetime Astros fan. Went to my first game in the late 70's for my great grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. My great grandmother was a huge astros fan and she was a true believe. When the Astros got Ryan it was going to be non stop World Series wins. I still have a rainbow...

I know I'm the old grandpa guy. But I moved out and bought new appliances 30 years ago. Not top of the line, mostly middle of the road for it's time. Thru the years I loaned them or gave them out to various family members or a friend that needed a dryer in a pinch or moved to someones camp/shop...

I tried to buy it a few weeks ago when it was shown as coming out of alpha or whatever. My steam balance was less than a nickel short. Guess I need to try it again, or maybe wait till it goes down in price a nickel lol.

It's getting worse day by day. In the cyclone league I started late and wanted to buy a 6 link chest. Over the course of a week I saw probably 15 5 links offered for trade as 6 links. I think they make an alt, list the 5 link. Soon as someone cancels out of the trade they make another alt. Rinse...

Use hose from a vacuum cleaner and put panty hose over the end of it. Suck up any dropped screws and washers with no fuss. Even if they drop into your computer behind the motherboard or something.

Super exciting stuff. Just trying to get a handle on some terms not used the refineries I've serviced thru the years.

This fire station got hit. More info starting to trickle out. Sation 41. The site I got that from said 100k out of power with Oncor in Dallas. I had looked to see if it was heading southeast as usual to see if it was headed toward family. It listed a lot of places where buildings got damage and...

Went to the doctor today. The nurses ask your birthday to check that it is you. I forgot mine and had to talk out to the waiting room and ask my mom to come answer it for me.

When I was in school the definition of converervation was the wise and non wasting use of natural resources. That included logging and other things. Of course the definition is wishy washy over time. You can conserve and develop at the same time. To not do anything is preservation and doesn't...

Same. Subnautica only one I played. Some of them I don't even claim.

I'd love to see the bottom line of how many bought a game after getting all the free games they've been giving out. I look and see what the free games are and activated a few. I can't remember even browsing thru the store.

HD announced this week they are canning their electric bike project. $35,000 for a bike that had 100 mile range or 150 depending on where you looked. I think HD is going to realise one day their target audience is dying off over time.

Seems a little odd. May have already been talked about and I missed it.

I just started mapping and I'm really broke. But the more I think about I don't know what I would buy if I had some currency. Mostly lazy I think. Haven't got to any content that I couldn't do. Ran tier 7 maps so far with no issue. I guess I need to just get motivated to go further. I did take...

Update on the genius at work today. "After being arrested and read his rights, Croll reportedly admitted to calling in the bomb threat in an attempt to stop the game because his friend was about to lose a big bet. Croll is being held without bond. "

New event. More SP for just logging in. Pretty soon I guess they want to kill the injector market when everyone gets tons of free SP. I allocated my free SP I'd gotten over the last years events for logging in and kill a few npc's and it was 1.8m SP. Omega today was 250k.

They didn't have the one on "don't call in threats, they can track that" apparently. Or maybe someone else was reading it. Maybe Harvey Updyke has it for study and he couldn't read it. Or maybe he followed the path of Mr. Updyke and named himself in the call. I see a pattern here.
