Just saw a friend that is currently at Uni and asked them how they do it now (draw and dimension all at the same time). Small victories.

Removes 4 cm of paper between them; touché.

“well, have you tried like not thinking or learning everything you want to know?”

Speaks volumes.

I’ve been criticized for that, lots of people say “use the mouse, it’s better”. I say “how is it better?”. They say “it just is”.

The truth is that they can’t do the keyboard shortcuts and are jealous.

My voting location has paper ballots counted by scanners (it’s not practical or accurate/reliable to count that number of ballots by human hand).

If there’s a question, just rescan the ballots. Nothing’s perfect, but this (IMHO) is about as good as it gets.

The only change I would make is to have ranked choice voting.

My Drs office wouldn’t accept a request over the phone or email. Had to be fax.

Because, apparently, there is some magic fairy that verifies it is me sending the request from the fax machine on my end (i.e. it’s not possible for someone else to send a request for my medical records pretending to be me). 'cause you know “fax security” wouldn’t allow that. /S

In university I took CAD and was chastised for drawing and dimensioning items at the same time. To me, it makes more sense to draw a circle and tell the CAD system that it’s 10 mm in one fail swoop than to do it the way I was told to (draw it by “hand” approximately 10 mm then come back later and actually size it to 10 mm).

I asked why their way was better and got the answer I expected (just do it that way) :-( ).

Hong Kong Phooey (number one super guy)!

Well, a quick search turned up this: Vacuum Arc

However, like the above comment, it seems to refer to freeing electrons from the conducts, so, IMHO, you no longer have a vacuum.

If you could somehow maintain a perfect vacuum; I wonder how this concept Virtual particle would come into play (or if it would at all).

With sufficient voltage, everything is a conductor.

With insufficient voltage, everything is an insulator.

Neither may be conducive to those roles, but everything has some conductivity and some resistance (super conductors being a possible exception).

I’m sure “judges weed eater” had nothing to do with the enhanced police response. /s

Yaml parsing. Article was great.

I read part of it; it was too painful to read more.

I kept finding myself saying “Well that’s stupid” over and over again.

Edit: To clarify, it’s yaml parsing that is “stupid”; the article was great.

that’s about all I can tell you without violating the peace officer bill of rights.

Ah, I get it; cops have the regular rights and extra “peace officer bill of rights” too!

has a tainted disciplinary record that includes being suspended for as many as 50 days between 2014 and 2019.

So, the 50 days were for past offences (not this one). I’m betting nothing happens this time.

Not sure if you are commenting on my comment or the original one.

I don’t mean any disrespect to anyone, I think it’s a stupid and weird thing to say to start with.

The abnormal gay guy vote - like a gay guy that likes Vance. That’s weird AF.

Sorry to hear it didn’t work out as planned for the two of you.

IMHO, relationships should not be about one persons happiness/goals/etc over the other (i.e. wives are not more important than husbands or vice versa). The item mentioned in the original post isn’t going to change anything in their lives (other than bringing one of them a bit of joy).

No complaints here; I just want the wife’s to be happy.

If the wife likes it, mission accomplished!

Just take a chill pill man.
