That atom photo is just a weird, blue orb. It looks like a video game adversary from about 1995.
The idea of an HR manager fleeing from an angry mob warms my heart.
He's still star stuff, just like you and that hydrogen atom.
I bet it takes a great deal of force to tear a suit coat, but I'll admit that I haven't tried. Ripping a shirt is easy. I've done that by accident.
2: Yep. It doesn't have the scenic beauty of a procession of pitchforks and torches, but I find I can still appreciate a daytime version.
This is why they have a real welfare state.
I agree with 2: we need some of this in the United States.
Yes, kind of awesome.
Also, though somewhat OT, the EU ruling on digital privacy warms my heart too.
Snowden was interviewed on BBC last night, talking about how the Smurf programs can turn your phone on, turn its mic on to operated as a bug, and locate you. Even when it's been turned off.

Someone hacked idp's phone and forced that second post.
Way OT way too soon, but can I ask the Unfoggedtariat for positive vibes tomorrow morning? Final, in person interview for a job that I really need. Thanks!
Here, have some positive vibes, Chopper. Good luck.
Could use one or two of them myself, I'm going for my driver's license exam here. Despite having had a perfectly good NYS driver's license for decades now.
16.2 Not nearly in the same league as needing a job though (as I well know) so double positive vibes at you, Chopper.
10: That's why you remove the battery.
To the OP: French people got a lot of problems, but they don't mind throwin' a brick.
Yay, Chopper! Hoping for all good things!
Leave them wanting more, Chopper. ("Monday, sure.")
I hope you have better luck than I did. In other news FUCK SHIT!!!

They got 99 problems but lack of bricks ain't one.
25: What happened at the test, Barry?
And good vibes, Chopper.
Good vibes your way, Chopper. And to you too, Barry.
Perhaps I'll refresh before posting next time. Sorry to hear, Barry.
25: A friend of mine who was posted on Salusa Secundus for a bit decided to do his driving test out there. He consequently sat, and failed, the Sardaukar driving test no less than seven times. His seventh failure was due to his having a dirty windscreen (against Sardaukar traffic law).
After that his instructor drew him to one side and said "you do realise, don't you, that the examiner is waiting for you to offer him a bribe?"
He did (about $100), and passed.
Good luck, Chopper! Keep us posted!
it seemed to go well. Won't find anything out until the end of next week at the earliest. May go insane in the meantime.
27.1, etc. I failed their stupid driving test. Ugh. At least I'm exempt from doing the various parking tests (L-parking, WTF?). I thought I did okay too but it is probably mostly these ghastly roundabouts they have all over the place and almost nowhere I've ever driven in the US. Also being unfamiliar with a different car, I'm taking it on a manual, and the way they have the pedals set up so that there is another set of pedals on the examiner's side with rods connecting them. One of the rods was obtruding and my left foot kept sticking on it whenever I depressed the clutch. At least I didn't stall on the road. I left that for when he had me drive back to the testing center and I was right in front of the examiner's hut. Balls. Gotta go back tomorrow early to schedule another test.
Weirdly, Wisconsin's Northeast, between the lakes, has incorporated roundabouts very thoroughly in the last few years. I'd driven in France & Spain, so I knew about them, but it's still disconcerting to encounter them in a place otherwise so unlike our ideas of Europe.
The part about the pedals obtruding seems to be worth complaining about if it would do any good.
Based on a youtube video I just watched, is L-parking an Arrakis-only term for backing into a spot?
35 I think it might be. It's also on an incline and doesn't seem to be modeled on any real world parking situation that's likely to happen here.
I circle until I find a space I can pull into.
Assholes! I was told to come back to the driving school today to sign up for a new test even though today is for "ladies only". I asked if they were sure I could come today to do that and was told yes come today. So today I go there, spending $15 in car fare to do so only to be told I can't even enter because today it's ladies only. Then I had to spend more money on cab fare to get to work today. Assholes!
Did I tell about the expat two bucket theory I heard when I arrived here? When you come come here you get two buckets. One for money and one for bullshit. You leave when one of them is full.
