I’ve lived in Texas as long as I can remember, but I was born in California.

Spanish finds it’s way into my everyday speech constantly.

My family is white as fuck, but my mother became fluent in college.

I took Spanish in high school for my foreign language credits.

While I’m not fluent, I’ve worked closely with people who primarily speak Spanish with a little broken English.

The little bit of Spanish I recall, and the little bit of English they know, allowed us to work together.

Is that irritating?

This does not apply to electronics. You want that 99% to leave as little moisture as possible.

I’ve thought of this, but don’t have the wherewithal to actually make a project come to fruition.

I’m also not a lawyer, but I’ve read multiple articles on this, and it doesn’t seem like any legal violation. Corporation got lazy, didn’t confirm where 10m in royalties went and under what circumstance, and got burned.

Finally a corp gets scammed by the common man.

I say good on him.

I was in band, and marching band was mandatory.

I did not try out, as I did not want to participate in that part of the band experience.

So I was part of the “front ensemble” which is shit you can’t march with. Timpani drums, etc.

We had an L frame rack with wheels that had all sorts of crap on it, half of it made in some garage before I joined.

We called it the ghetto rack.

I had a solo on what were essentially tanks that had the bottom cut off and an attachment point welded on top hung by rope.

So yeah, if you can hit it and make a sound, it becomes a percussion instrument.

Wait and Bleed in my ass.

I had attempted a back flip off a kicker ramp propped up on the curb (into grass, it was to learn how, lol)

Anyway, I go UP, flip and land halfway over with my head contacting the curb.

It gave me a concussion, and took a chunk out of my helmet. I would have been dead most likely if I didn’t wear a helmet.

I just dragged the ramp in, and went to lay down with my skates still on. I don’t remember much after that.

Please don’t I barely understand subnetting as it is.

I don’t recognize this, but it looks like the dude is “working” something shady.

I wouldn’t wanna risk being stuck in a bathroom because I ate something local and don’t have the antibodies to deal with it.

McDs is processed crap, shipped globally, with local favorites mostly avoidable. Its a safe bet. Plus, you can eat once and have your 2000 calories met for the day in 10 minutes.

In the US, you can get varying dosages based on a variety of commercial factors.

That being said, 1000mg a dose not to exceed 4000mg in a 24 hour periods is the standard… well, was, its been a while since I was a pharmacy tech.

I have an analog clock in my man cave. Its very steam punk in design. It is NOT accurate and is ONLY a decoration piece that gets corrected when I can spare the attention. It runs fast, if anyone cares.

Ultimately, my wife liked it, bought it for me, and put it up. Not gonna upset her over something I really don’t care about.

Longest it took…

I was in a “study hall” type class in fourth grade. The teacher ran out of material after a couple weeks. So she decided to read The Hobbit out loud to the class while we worked on homework, other quiet activities, or slept. Really, don’t give her problems, won’t be problems.

I had already started The Hobbit on my own. At the time it was considered college level reading, so not too shabby. So, I continued reading (first time on The Hobbit) and finished WAY before the rest of the class listened. Because duh, a quick mental reader VS a teacher doing voices? No shit, Sherlock.

A girl who sat next to me (assigned seating) brushed the hair out of her eyes, blinked expressively a few times with direct eye contact, and said I must be “one of those cool nerds;” I suppose because I finished before Bilbo left the Shire.

It took me until college to realize. I vaguely remember considering her “kinda cute.” I could have, and in the future sure did, worse.

Waited all summer for the Mexican place in Gardiner to open when I worked in Yellowstone. Gardiner is on the border with the park.

Anyway, myself and two friends, all of us from Texas, were very vocally disappointment. It was so bad. The pizza place was great though.

I was the SME over POS terminals in a past job.

Owners are often the biggest morons at the location.

Before that, I used the same basic software package at Subway because the owner couldn’t be bothered, and the manager, great lady, was not technically apt.

Yeah, Dave Stage made that band what it was.

I didn’t get the chance to meet him, but when I was active in the metal community I heard nothing but good things. I guess I should say Drowning Pool was a local band before they blew up.

I knew a Bubba. Legal first name.

He had a rat tail, of course.

Went to play at his house one day (fourth grade), and it was a typical suburban house. I rode past it on my bike to get to school.

Not a hint of white-trash about the situation.

It still perplexes me.

I personally dislike the freewheel scroll overall.

Then again, the only time I’m really thinking about what features a mouse has, it’s for gaming so I like a little more precision and tactile feedback.

For everything else I do, a mouse is a mouse.

Unless it’s one of those BS apple ones with no right click. Those make me unreasonably upset.

See with the leathery skin, I was totally getting a Githyanki/Githzerai vibe.

Don’t work in medical IT.

It has been literally life and death before.

I don’t.

I don’t think they even sell winter tires here.

And if winter tires are the little studded ones… Yeah, those aren’t street legal here.

That being said, we tend to shut down the state if someone drops an icecube.

I mean, 8 gigs of RAM is overkill depending on what you’re doing.

For general computing sure, but if you build out a device for a specific purpose, you can really cut down on a crap ton of resources including memory.

Unix principle, adopted by Linux. Do one thing and do it well.

Applies to more than just software design.
