That didn’t work. I got

computer: Command not found

The real problem if that’s the scenario is that his social security check is less than $400/month.

You work at IBM or something? Who even still uses VHDL?

You can’t see something small right behind you with that.

Implying he only makes executive orders about things he has a say in.

Dictionary definitions are nice but rarely capture the full meaning of the word. Connotations of the word are pretty important.

If I say “I tolerate that behavior,” you can probably infer that I don’t like that behavior based on the connotations of the word tolerate. It invokes a negativity toward the subject.

Similarly for consent. The examples bear this out: medical treatments, business trips, and short notice are generally not pleasant things.

It doesn’t automatically save anyone. The CEO isn’t personally murdering anyone. Their policies don’t go away. The health care industry isn’t magically made better by one CEOs death. It leads to a slight chance of health care reform as the comic states. But we actually have to do more to get that outcome.

Elective is a terrible name for what it actually means which is basically just “not emergency.” Even if it’s super necessary, if you schedule it in advance, it’s elective.

It’s kinda hard to raise your body’s resistance a ton outside of not making good contact (e.g. wearing rubber boots/gloves). Things like your skin being moist lower resistance, but I’m not sure it’s really that much of a safety factor when dealing with high voltage.

I think people just don’t understand ohm’s law. They seem to think voltage and current are unrelated to each other.

Unless you really are drinking that much water. If you’re drinking a few gallons a day, expect to be peeing constantly. Your body isn’t going to water to retain all of that and it has to go somewhere. Most bladders can only hold like 2 cups.

Placebos are so effective, we’ve just started selling them explicitly (Zeebo). If it’s cheap and doesn’t have any negative effects, I don’t care if it’s a placebo or more; it works.

All PhDs are doctors of philosophy. That’s what the Ph stands for. Doesn’t mean they majored in philosophy. So you can have a doctorate of philosophy in engineering or English or even medicine and be one of those crazy MD-PhDs.

Ah yeah, I was misunderstanding.

I think I might be misunderstanding. If he felt he wasn’t smart enough to get anything out of college, isn’t it better that he not go? Like it seems more spoiled to go to college without the expectation you’d get the degree. You’re taking a spot from someone who thinks they’ll graduate, wasting your parents’ money, and delaying becoming a self sufficient adult for no pay off.

Yeah, I think the premise is actually “What did people say 20 years ago that they don’t now.”

You really have no people you like but don’t want to have sex with? No one who’s like 8 or 80?

I believe they’re referencing Dr. George Tiller.

Sometimes the powers that be need the proper motivation needed to get rid of the orphan crushing machine.

It seems like networking would be even more important for you. You’d have people who could vouch for you: “Yeah they’re kind of weird in an interview, but they do amazing work.”
