FYI, not only are these cables often buried, but what once required 100 different lines or more were later compacted into a single cable with hundreds of wires. In the time before multiplexing, each wire pair handled one call at a time. The capacity of your phone network was proportional to the number of wires in each…

I just dumped my account transactions into Excel and ran the math myself. Sum up dividends, then interest. If I had any long-term capital gains, I just go back to prior years and look up the cost basis.

DAYUM that baby has a *lot* of hair for being so young. Good for him.

Nope. Suggestions of conspiracy are a load of shit. Nobody in America gets away with *anything* that big. Even most mundane stuff ends up in public. Hell, that’s the whole thing with Trump. He has so much baggage that the marginal effect of additional scandals is like pouring a gallon into an Olympic swimming pool.

The truth: Oswald killed Kennedy. Everything else is looking for a fake signal in the random noise of the imperfect bureaucracy and the people within. I mean, shit, these people fuck up passports and the mail all the time. You think something with as many moving parts as a national investigation is going to be clean?…

I’m glad my child was born under Obama, and so long as Trump doesn’t get a 2nd term, he’ll be too young to remember anything about him.

Pretty sure LeBron didn’t get his forehead shaved. He got hair implants. And more power to him for it. I like having hair. I’m sure he does too.

I have lived that mess. Except instead of cat puke it was the s/o’s poorly trained dog’s shit in the middle of the floor.

If you’re so smart, you should’ve figured out on your own that you weren’t in that group. So congrats on your coding skills, you are now excused from the sample. Moreover you know exactly the type of people I’m referring to. You grew up with them.

Who said I’d profit from a war in Asia? There are a *lot* of aspects to defense. Without going into details, I’ll just say if ANY war actually used what we make, there wouldn’t be a world anymore. Peace, at least relative peace, is the only way we’ll still have a customer.

No shit it’s a generalization and I do work in defense.

You’re really getting off topic. The argument was “boomers are selfish” not “did I benefit from the end of Nam”. Because BOTH can be true.

Language misunderstanding makes sense. Let me try to explain the nuance here.

No, I said the protests weren’t for my benefit. I was quite clear, actually. But let me restate it for you: the boomers protested Nam because it benefited the boomers. Your claim it was some great act of altruism that I should laud them for is bullshit. You don’t get praise for covering your own ass.

1st paragraph doesn’t make much sense. Try responding to what I actually wrote.

“The onslaught of Moore’s Law appears to be unhindered”

Boomers protested Vietnam because it was their asses getting drafted and shipped out. They certainly didn’t do it as a favor for me.

That’s why I asked you to get her to stop. Are you going to do it or not?

C wasn’t developed by Boomers, also nobody uses ANSI C anymore. Java is for shitty business apps and malware. I dislike it enough to not even bother finding out who created it.

I wasn’t talking about your mom. I was talking about the other guy’s mom. Yours understands social media too well. Tell her to stop sending me vag shots on Snapchat.
