I've always found that making decisions and thinking about stuff is hard. Swinging a hammer for 12 hours, that shit is easy. Yo.

I was working 60 hours a week and enrolled in 12 credit hour, mostly online. It was definitely doable, but I didn't have a family or a social life tugging at me. I don't know if I could knock it now with a wife and kid in the house. Good luck.

A major downside to doing it part time is that the GI Bill (new and old) is based off of duration of study (36 months, 4yearsx9months/year). If you enroll half time, it still uses a full month of your GI Bill, and you only get half the cost-of-living stipend. I think that 12 hours is required to be full time.…

I miss the immediacy and simplicity of physical labor. Now I'm constantly making decisions and worrying about outcomes.

Community colleges and state schools aren't bad for us older folks. I ended up transferring to a fancy private college where there were very few "non-traditional" students; I don't think there were more than two veterans (counting me) in the undergrad population. Fortunately, I'm incredibly immature for my age so I…

I was worried that I would develop some sort of association where I would get aroused whenever I smelled sewage (or worse, required the smell to…

The also have more at stake with respect to their reputation. Many schools, both on and off that list, have handled rapes poorly, but I think that throwing out accusations at school not included on this list is premature; the department of education probably gave this list some thoughtful consideration before making…

Any word on what it's like over at Blue Origins? I'm an engineer, and I like space (and stuff).

The United States Military's extreme boredom simulator! CAN YOU KEEP YOUR ROOM CLEAN ENOUGH!!!! PICK UP CIGARETTE BUTTS FOR HOURS!!!! INSANE!

Prior to boot camp lungs had always been my limiting factor as well. I remember in the middle of one of the runs toward the end of boot camp I noticed that my legs were exhausted but I was breathing fine. That was the first time that I actually felt like a runner. Now I'm fat again and hate my poor weak lungs.

This design seems like it could make it more difficult to access your tools if you needed something quickly. Perhaps if the table surface folded down you could realize the same space savings while still having easy access to your tools.

I had to read the headline a couple of times. Maybe "Encourage New Ideas by Rewarding Failure" would be more clear. The first time I read it I thought you had an issue with new ideas and wanted to encourage others not to generate new ones.
