I know they give out bonds. This is true... but if you give me 1000 dollars then you no longer have that 1000 bucks. If you suddenly need that 1000 and I am not ready to give it back to you then you are screwed.

I never said the surplus fund was worthless. SS ran a surplus for almost 30 years... however the government by law is allowed to borrow against SS surplus using treasury bonds. This helps the government to pay for a bunch of other crap which essentially makes it another tax.

Now all of this would't be an issue except…

True. SS has only been running a deficit for the past 4 years and normally we could use the surplus that SS has generated over the past 30 years (which WAS substantial) to help mitigate the drain. However, congress and other agencies have all but spent the surplus and therefore SS is basically no longer solvent and…

Completely agree but it is possible they had no idea there was a suicide attempt in progress. I live in an Area where traffic like this happens and have (on several occasions) been able to get out of my car and walk on the free. Each time I ended up talking to strangers while we waited... Completely obvious to why…

I am getting tired of not owning one.

Just like if we legalized marijuana people will suddenly become drug addicts. Terrible logic.

Exactly. My community college GPA was around a 3.5 and my University GPA was a 3.2. Neither of which are exceptional.

However, if I told you that I worked Full-time through the duration of my college career and while I attended Univ I also worked as a web developer while studying for my BS in computer science I would…

Agreed. In fact a Glass ceiling is, in my opinion, an even greater injustice.

Good points. It's funny cuz meeting strangers is easy for me. Man or Woman I am very very personable... but it is something about going on a date that gets me all super nervous. Yet I don't get that same feeling when meeting the CEO of a prospective company I want to work at.

Perhaps the reason is in a professional…

That is a good point. The level of rejection is on a totally different level. Or perhaps just the way we perceive the rejection is on a totally different level... Maybe?

I find it strange that interviews (or really any professional encounter) come completely naturally to me. Speaking in front of a large group not a problem. Job Interview whatever.

Going on a date. Death.

Exactly. Especially with all the customization options that came out with 8.1 you can make windows 8 act exactly like windows 7 except get all the benefits of a new OS. Main difference would be the "App" screen which is really just a fullscreen start menu.

I think it's important to note that the transitional period between "vines" may require more concentration and effort than before or after. Maintaining a positive swing in your current position while building up momentum for your future career can be quite difficult.

Ironic because I just started getting last night. So I loaded up on nightquil last night... day quil today and about 20oz of Emergency (which is like 2+ packs haha).

In the event I can't fight off this cold my backup plan is to play titanfall all weekend ;)

I do agree with you that the centralized coal plants are a lot easier to manage and maintain than a bunch of small engines. Plus you could cap and store a power plants emissions but good luck doing that with modern vehicles. As far as the batteries go... I don't think we should overlook the potential hazard batteries…

These cross generation comparisons videos are pointless.
1) When developing for multiple platforms you (for the most part) have to develop for the lowest denominator. Now of course you can add in platform specific optimizations but the more you add the more complex development becomes

Exactly. I went without a Microwave for about 6 months (mostly because my roommate and I are far to lazy/cheap to go out and buy one). Him and I both cook a lot so it seemed fine but when it came to reheating leftovers it was a paining in the ass.

Reheating Pasta... So i have to boil some water and essentially steam…

Exactly. It could be just to set precedence. Furthermore seems pretty unethical for this company to be using other peoples work without legal consent... So to argue the Band is being unethical seems a little hypocritical
