Sinestro posted:Well, it was if you looked at it instead of taking points off for the wrong capitalization of a word and didn't stick the compiler into "party like it's 1998" mode for some reason, which is why it pisses me off. I can totally see why he'd see it like that though, I'm mostly just pissy I have to take the class at all. Could always go for the nuclear option, and reach out to the Dean if you feel like the prof is treating your work unreasonably. It's a dick move, but sometimes the dick move is necessary.

MustardFacial posted:There used to be a goon-run racing league with automation. It was quite fun. Don't know what happened to it. The second round didn't really get off the ground because despite MrChips putting in a lot of work, Automation's current state means there is pretty much a winning formula and you're either running that car or not running at all.

Cage posted:Unless you have a medical or physical problem losing weight is pretty easy, especially the bigger you are. (until you get to a non-mobile state, then it gets tougher) Exercise is mostly for feeling and looking better. Losing weight is 99% in the kitchen, because unless you're going to pull an Eddie Izzard and run a marathon every day for a month, you aren't going to burn enough calories to make up for bad eating habits. Especially if you, like most of us, have a lovely sedentary job.

Cage posted:Sure if you eat trash everyday and exercise 3 times a week nothing will happen. A cardio and weights workout is equally important as eating right, though. When you lift weights your muscles tear and help you burn calories while they repair. I eat healthy, but I don't eat crazily healthy. I work at a desk for 8 hours a day I don't see what that has to do with anything. It doesn't even take eating badly, just consistently screwing up portion sizes. An extra bagel a day (~300 calories) takes about 3 miles walking to burn off. Unless you're doing hard manual labor, or again, running marathons for fun, you'll never outrun a bad diet.

Welp. I was going to go drive a couple Outbacks on Monday because my lust for a wagon is beating out my desire for horsepower, but I just spit out a large chunk of one of my molars, so I guess I'll be at the dentist instead. Explains why I've been waking up with headaches, though. I just shrugged that off as normal depression bullshit.

spog posted:I've heard mentioned a few time about the US police having a policy of not chasing bikers. No, because you'd get to your first fuel stop and get turbofucked, because they can just park a helicopter over your rear end. They're not going to chase you by car, they'll do it by radio instead.

Sigma X posted:So you want to discourage speeding and running from the cops, knock yourself out. But don't try to make reality out to be something it isn't just because a false picture better suits your narrative. Really quick Google searches will turn up articles and briefs about limited pursuit rules, and if you're lucky, you'll even be able to directly find your state or local police's ACTUAL PURSUIT POLICY. Most of them show just how much of a loving pain in the rear end it is to pursue someone. Again, you're missing the point. The pursuit doesn't matter. They likely aren't going to chase you, they're just going to call ahead to the next couple jurisdictions over and when you stop for gas you'd best hope that there's not a cruiser waiting to have a little chat with you. You can outrun the locals, but in the middle term that sportbike's not carrying enough fuel to make it to Mexico.

kastein posted:The whole trigger words thing is stupid tumblrina bullshit that I really wish people would stop taking seriously. Works just fine, but then you get what we have right now, a short sharp reminder that what you're good at doesn't mean poo poo unless it's in the rather narrow spectrum of 'things we can profit off of immensely'. Lots of really talented people out there shoveling poo poo or pushing paper because whatever they're good at isn't the next get rich scheme, and feeling good about things is for children. CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Ageism scares the living gently caress out of me. It desont quite affect me yet, but lets say I lost my job - I would be hosed. I know too many people who around my age or a bit older lost their career and pretty much everything only for the sole reason they were over 45-50. And also there a bunch of poo poo like how you are falling apart and getting fat / losing it - that not the case at all, while I know I'm well and above the average 47 year old fitness-wise, we're perfectly capable mentally and physically to work, sometimes moreso than someone younger. It's a son of a bitch from both sides, because those Boomers hanging on because they're still fit are the reason that a ton of Gen X'ers are still stuck in lovely 'entry level' positions in their thirties because there's no place to move up!

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:No, that's not all there is to it. There is indeed that as a factor I acknowledge and I suffered it in 2002 when the tech wreck meant I lost out to a cheaper resource - but the straight out fact of the matter is that ageism most certainly does exist and it's not just about money. People who have grey hair most certainly do get knocked back just because they are older, not that they cost more or whatever other factors. My mum had to lie on her resume to get jobs. Luckily she looks ten years younger so she could get away with it - so there indeed is a terific example of ageism, try being over 50 and getting a PA role or reception ... you are going to have a baaaaaaaad time. Isolated? HELL NO. In IT Ageism is utterly rampant. Highly qualified older workers do and will get passed over for younger ones for no other reason other than age. Yeah, I'm in IT and have watched it happen. Even when we're hiring for basic technical roles, there's often hesitation to pick up an older candidate because of the perception that they either aren't going to stick it out because they'll leave for a better offer, or they're going to be resistant to picking up new systems. Slavvy posted:Ok I think I understand what's going on here. I was not aware that ageist people existed in the strictest sense. Am I to understand that there are people out there who think there's like an expiry date for people as far as age goes? How do you justify that mentally? Everyone is eventually old including yourself, do you kill yourself out of bigoted rage come age 55 or what? Where's the fear of the different/unknown that underpins other bigotry like hating a race/sexuality/religion? It just makes no sense to me. Maybe you missed the memo, but some people are absolute shits until they're the target of the same discrimination. The IT world especially is obsessed with the next new thing, and it's a shitload cheaper to lowball a recent grad than to risk having to ever train anyone on anything. The days where longevity and experience were valued are long past, at this point the whole mindset is that people can be reduced to checkbox skillsets and man hours calculations. Agile development and the cargo cult surrounding it and trying to apply the principals to other workflows are especially bad about this.

some texas redneck posted:You know some of them could be had with a factory turbo, right? And the 2.2 they paired it with will take downright stupid amounts of boost without giving half a gently caress. Wait, you could graft a turbo onto a LeBaron? Because I know where I can get a running, decent condition 88 Lebaron for next to nothing, and it would be hilarious to torture it with boost. I drove one back in high school, and while it got floaty as gently caress around 100, it was fun to drive for an I-4. Edit : Oh, that's why I didn't think about it, the 88 Coupe was after they switched to J-body. Liquid Communism fucked around with this message at 09:36 on May 20, 2016 |
