There is nothing wrong with doom and gloom, in and of itself. It is only a problem if you turn out to be wrong. In fact, Nouriel Roubini, termed by some as Dr. Doom, turned out to be too optimistic about this downturn, wrongly predicting

Sorry about the vulgarity. It's just that the price I paid for that was enormous; I'd say it cost me a year and a half of suffering.

At one point I told my doctor (a psychiatrist) I had ADD and needed ritalin. Stupid bitch said I didn't...cost me a lot of suffering before another doctor confirmed it.

I've never had any experience with any of this, but this sounds very practical in theory.

I'm a subscriber. Let's see: the unemployment is currently at 9.4% officially, 20.5% according to shadowstats. Eyeballing it, I'd say Cali has unemployment of 22%. That's depression-era levels.

You're right, housing is a problem. That is yet another lobby. If you look, Palo Alto might have a land shortage, but it does not have a volume shortage. Think of all the space in the air and underground that is not being used because o

In Chile, firemen work voluntarily, and with a very similar weather to North California, they are one of the best forces in the world. None of this 200k a year bullshit.

Solution: Fire people. Bankruptcy's reality's way of telling a government it has to get smaller.

Chortles. I was looking over articles on nytimes the other day. Articles about the Japanese Asset Price Bubble (baburu keiki) from the first years after the events. Everyone thought that this or that fancy government capital infusion woul

A different flavor, perhaps. Think Pepsi and Coca-Cola.

Protip: for those who have only read about him, his name is pronounced "ca-nuth." The K is not silent. I learned this the embarrassing way.

Incentives. The whole point of a wife isn't "commitment," it's monogamy. It has benefits for both parties, but because she wants a monopsony on your sperm, she doesn't want you looking good to other women.

This is what you call the steep part of the sigmoidal curve.

You probably have adult ADD and need ritalin. Every person on this forum probably does too. I have it for one. Get checked.

Carbon neutral but not global warming neutral. Methane is worse, like 1000 times worse, per molecule, than CO2.

>And of course, blaming the AMA and doctors is another great diversion. Seems like a reasonable cause for problems. Sure, on an individual level they're not evil, but put them in a huge association with the second-highest lobbying expe

I'm just glad to see Ford doing engineering.

Cursing aside, this is very much a reality.

I feel like it can, but it takes time and energy to accomplish. But...it's weird to want to accomplish those things.

I treated college as the end. What to do after that became a bridge I'd cross when I got there.

by helveticaman 17y ago
This is why I took a year off college at 19 to start a starter company. It was like running your first marathon: you want to win, but you know you probably won't. But you need the experience. In my case, everyone I talked to was pretty

I thought of this. I got thrown out in such a way I couldn't turn to the ombudsman.

On second thought, can this please be erased?

by helveticaman 18y ago
Not really. I was doing fine in my classes. This was more an issue with the administration.

by helveticaman 18y ago
À la 1984. I was thrown out without notice or trial. I was forbidden to go back, so I couldn't talk to anyone.

From the title, I was expecting something about the onboard computer of the acclaimed nerdmobile.

I have very little business experience, but I would guess this is less the case with engineers. Nerds care a little more about substance because that's what their job entails. Meanwhile, business guys care about how one sells oneself beca
