@scottalanmiller Say what?

I just find it odd that doctors complain when they have to work with antiquated medical equipment but if the IT guy complains about antiquated IT equipment they just get yelled at.

@RoguePacket Compared to me most pale in comparison but yes, she's quite hyper.

@Bud I figured the numbers were time but wasn't sure about the z. Makes sense.

@RoguePacket Amen!

Last checked, it is the most popular TED talk ever. Even years old (it is from 2006), still relevant.

Yes, it is. And for good reason!

Could make it smell like skunk.

It's a tough call, but don't we already have laws in place about stealing and murder?

@Dashrender Interesting. I wonder if the same logic works with chickens. (investigating for backyard egg production purposes)

The same logic will work on almost any living thing. There's a good training book called Don't Shoot the dog. The lesson above is basically the book in a nutshell and the author shows how it can be applied to nearly any animal or person.

She has a story about her mother-in-law and how she was able to get the mother-in-law to stop a questioning patterned that annoyed the author.

People don't like to think of their children as pets - but if parents learned how to train an animal, they'd have an infinitely easier time training their children to act the way the parents want.

They also told me that the source information was proprietary to the supplier so that they couldn't tell me exactly where it's from, just that it's not from China. I'd be okay with it being from China, at least then orangutans wouldn't have been murdered for it.

Although it might be Soylent Green.

The T-Rex is cool, but you're talking about apples to oranges here. Open vs closed (w/ AC and heat), and $50k+ vs $7k. One is clearly a summer toy that somewhat replaces a motorcycle, while the other is a sensible yet sporty all-season commuter. Personally (just my own take on it), if I were in a position and geographical location to consider/justify the T-Rex, I would buy an actual roadster and not a dressed-up 3-wheeled bike. Like I said, just my thoughts.

@Dominica Also a possibility. It'll be interesting to see if further developments are posted.

@Bud Sadly I do understand that. Mother experienced it for years.

All the people I know can't make it to London (Yasaf can't too cause her prefer to marry) ... I hope I'm not alone there 😉

I'll be in bed within the hour for sure.

Thank you! 🙂

@scottalanmiller Are you posting while you're driving?! I disapprove!

I also really like the functionality here, as well as all of the familiar faces! Too bad I don't have a whole lot of intelligent input on the current topics 😞

You've got more management experience than technical expertise. I have no doubts there will be plenty of places your experience would be invaluable for good advice vs. the average IT person's. 🙂

We call that "grape koolaid"
