Nah, BS as in grant writing and office politics more than anything. Plus having to move to find positions - I like my city and my friends and I would have hated having to move & uproot myself and my wife to chase after a tenure track position.

I’m very glad I’m not a professor. More money for shorter hours - I think I got the better end of the deal. I think you really do have to love what you do if you’re going to be a professor, but for me I think all the associated BS that surrounds academia would ruin things for me, and turn something I love into…

My way got me the same degree my classmates got with a lot less effort. I went into industry so conferences and publications didn’t really matter for me - nobody out here in my industry looks at CVs, just the 2-3 line ‘Education’ section on your resume.

Use the library computer to find a couple of books on your topic. Go to the shelf, and grab all the books you ID’d plus a few from either side around it and from the shelves above and below.

Yes, literally. As in I’ve had a few that were bad enough I tossed them after the first bite and would have literally puked if I’d forced myself to keep going.

I’m glad you enjoyed your French army rations. US army rations are literally vomit-inducing. The only emergency they’re useful in would be if somebody drank poison - they’d help get them to puke it back up.

Because MREs taste like garbage. I will not eat another MRE ever again. If I were in a disaster area, I would risk eating whatever I could scrounge up, no mind whether it’s spoiled and/or safe to eat, before I would eat an MRE again.

Given the other definition, maybe your applicants divided their high school into segments.

MRI machines weight over 30,000 lbs. Not to mention all of the weight of the shielding that goes around the room it’s in. And there’s plenty of them on high floors in hospitals.

....What? Doctors don’t get paid based on the number of rx’s they write, I don’t know what you’re talking about.

I don’t usually get into situations where insults are flying, but I do have to drive with jerks on the highway every day.

At the Starbucks I used to go to they had a pitcher of ice water with small, plastic cups on the creme & sugar counter.

Ban a range and they’re banning a bunch of other people that use the same ISP. If they ban a specific IP, then whoever got banned just has to turn their router off for a while and, with the way most ISPs do things, they’d get a new one once the router comes back online.

He might not have invented the submarine, but I totally came up with the idea of pouring hot water over the roasted & ground seed of the coffee plant just this very morning. I’m totally an inventor now.

I wanted to say the same thing but scrolled through to make sure I wasn’t repeating something that had already been said already.
‘Submarine inventor’ should be replaced with ‘Rich Wierdo who built a submarine’.

I’m not sure if he’d want to switch to property law, I heard he specializes in bird law.

The handle will not make you smell like gas. There is no gas on the handle. The gas comes out of the nozzle. Do not touch the nozzle. Do not point the nozzle at yourself. Do not taunt the nozzle.

I like to keep my online life and real life separate. I generate a new Reddit account every year or two, and new Kinja burner every year or so, plus minus a few months. It keeps too many “pieces” that people could use to puzzle together my real identity from building up in any one spot (unless they manage to string…

Wow, these comments are really illuminating. I never realized we had so many PhD psychologists & MD/OD’s specializing in psychiatry & neurology in our midst!

TSA’s failure rate is between 80 and 95 percent. So for every gun, knife, and explosive you saw up there, between 5 and 20 made it aboard a flight.
