You’re right: an equivalent NetApp NAS would be that much. Except this isn’t NAS, it’s DAS. So your point is moot.

I was born here, and grew up elsewhere, but have been back here since 1987 and have never gone.

I wonder how frajeelay it is?

Could have used this prior to attending the Barbershop Harmony Society International Convention in Pittsburgh last week. But I have to say: forget about the sleep and alcohol bullet points.

Everybody calm down. Southwest has had some rear facing seats on their planes for years, although not staggered like this. No big deal, and actually makes it easier to talk to people if you want to.

Staggered rear facing seats have also been common in business/first class cabins, although they do usually have a screen…

And the Birdman of Alcatraz would like a word with you...

You sound like Sheldon talking about Howard.

The most powerful superpower is invisibility.

“For an atheist, your beliefs might include things like.

Tell you what: You go tell the national administration of the BSA that your kid is an openly atheist scout, and let me know what happens.

And I will point you directly at the correspondence from the BSA on this subject:

You’re completely wrong. Trust me, I’ve researched this in depth. The official requirement of BSA is a belief in a deity. That’s one of the reasons why the BSA has a beef with the Unitarian Universalists. It’s also worthy of note that there are a handful of countries which have been grandfathered out of that…

Based on my experience in Minecraft, this is accurate.

It’s still a requirement. You cannot be a member of a scout troop and be “out” as an atheist. Only a handful of countries were grandfathered in with exemptions to the religious requirement (France being one of them). The BSA isn’t.

Call me when they allow atheists. Until then, the BSA can go pound sand.

We were flat out told by local organizers that the religious requirement “wasn’t really a big deal” or “wasn’t strictly enforced”, etc. Yet, an atheist child would functionally be required to lie every time he recited the oath, thus violating the…

“I run into a LOT of these types who believe that anything that grows out of the earth is better than anything that’s ever touched metal.”

Next time, blow their minds by telling them that iron comes out of the earth, too.

In other breaking news, a new study confirms that the earth is still round and gravity is still a thing.

There are less dangerous amateur competitive endeavors.

Dr. Oz holds a position specifically associated with surgeon, and nowhere have I found anybody saying that he isn't an excellent surgeon, regardless of what other non-surgery-related ridiculous beliefs he holds. If they're pissed about Oz, they might as well also write a letter to every dean who employs any scientist…

Sounds great while you're young and single. Do it now, before you're married with kids, and responsibility/stability is required of you and quashes any chance of living like this again.
