Well, are they only for work use? If so, meh. If they are for your own personal use, that is pretty sweet.

Phone for company, but its very flexible to say the least. Tablet completely personal.

Random question... How do we put a user on an ignore list so that we don't see their posts?

So I got my hands on some course material for one of the MANY new systems installed on my ship during refit. (We're due to get the boat back in a couple weeks.) The disk has two files. One is an acronym list, I didn't both to read all of them when I realized 'A' takes up four pages. The other file is an 809 slide power point presentation.

Ive been working on the car today so i smell like a mix of oil, gasoline, and spraypaint...is it weird that i think this smells good?

[Supermassive]

Also, am i the only one weirded out by people who name their cars and even more so by those that actually call their car by name when talking about it?

Sucks having parents who are wacked out their minds when it comes to finances
I wish there was a way for me to get threw to them.. They make enough to be considered middle class(I can't get financial aid) and they live like poor people.
My father is up to his neck in debt, and refuses to file for bankruptcy/sell the house(yes he is living in a house by himself)
And my mother is incapable of saving a dime.
... I asked her about the idea of putting away 50$ a week to help with my college, and she was baffled....
Yet spending 25$ a week on Chinese food/or 80$ on Amazon or another 80 for arts and crafts or another 100 in stupid online art classes is no big deal.
Who am I to tell my mom what to do with her money after all.
It just makes me want to vommit when I'm busting my ass saving and showing will power/dedication and she can't.
I told her I refuse to work 2 jobs for the rest of my life. I don't care how long it'll take me to get to where I want to be, I know someday it'll happen.
Grr/rant over.

I wish they had parenting classes

Was prepping for sashimi for tonight's dinner. Got everything cut, rice cooked, & sat down to put some soy sauce & wasabi... Just to find out I ran out of wasabi. I don't put a lot, but not having it, made me sad Jap

Yeah I know, I shouldn't bitch about this... My point is, just a small thing can totally rune everything... FML

Unless you have two shitty jobs, you shouldn't need two jobs to get by. Well, as long as you don't become a liberal arts major. Then you'll probably have to work three shitty jobs, but at least you'll have a shitty degree to go along with them!
Find something you like and specialize. No need to spend a ton of money on university if a community college can do for you what you want to do.

Dammit I wish my cat had an off button. She's standing outside of my son's room going MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW and I'm tempted to punt her down the stairs. But then she'd probably kill me in my sleep. edit: Not serious, I wouldn't hurt my cat. Because yes she would kill me in my sleep.

I found my faith in humanity and I'm never letting go.
Live by the motto 'pay it forward' and 'always see the good in strangers' and just people you know in general
... I'm about to cry. But a good cry, good night guys.

Kids of the future, for the love of god when you go to college please choose any science (except political) if you would like to be successful in life. I honestly thought most people knew that but I guess not.

If you want to be really successful computer science is the way of the future. Even if you dont like it but you can do it it will make life that much easier.

Making this statement I am saying just if you follow the standard path

Obviously you can do great things on your own and make anything else happen if you put your mind to it but if you do decide to go to college and having a hard time selecting a major, when in doubt make sure its a science.

Glad that I'll have my Comp Sci diploma soon!
