alkaloid

I'm still a little shady. But only a little.

I stopped downloading torrents when streaming came along.

I maxed out my Hulu subscription to avoid commercials.

Hulu forces commercials on me anyway.

And now I get to watch commercials about 'Merica, which apparently dictates worldwide political matters. Sweet.

I like how most of the comments insult you and tell you to educate yourself, rather than answering a fair question about immutable and immediately-recognizable characteristics.

I'm curious as to why the resettable breaker for each eight drives . . .

I presume this was trial-and-error, but how could someone tell that the current is too much for a disk drive which is being, uh, overdriven (to make noise!)?

Or maybe this was a "just in case" situation...?

So cool . . .

LOTS of good advice here.

My only addition would be to further specialize in something you don't hate working in. Becoming a subject-matter expert will afford you the opportunity to take time off or just work whenever you feel like working.

What in the hell?

I still love Perl as essentially a low-level abstraction layer for C. I can get so much done at the system level without having to compile a bunch of code every time I make a small change.

I've heard that Python (and maybe some others) are slowly replacing Perl as a "subsystem" of Linux, but I doubt that will happen before I retire. So, until then, TIMTOWTDI!

I agree. But moderate views are not represented in federal law.

So you dispute the information about abortion laws by country, or are you just going to devolve into a argumentum ad verecundiam fallacy?

FWIW, the SPLC is an extremist hate group from my perspective.

But neither of these things changes the fact that the USA has extraordinarily permissive abortion laws.
