Now if only I could figure out how to print it full page QQ

Dude, that sucks. If something prevents me from eating my Oreos and milk it really does significantly downgrade the overall "goodness" of my day. So I feel your pain.

I also hate the way the resealable packages are designed. They are designed so some of the cookies are hard to fish out for someone with big fingers like myself.

Fortunately, as an old guy I was able to revert smoothly to the bygone days of tearing open the end of the package. It was distressing though, especially if my attorney asks.

As a side rave: the "limited edition" Key Lime Pie Oreos are awesome. If my lawsuit is successful I am looking to be paid in them.

That's the method I started using once I realized Nabisco is prejudiced towards those with big fingers. Maybe we can sue together and turn this into a class-action lawsuit.

Why did it still print like a crap?

 

[Lohrenswald]

I had to look up how to do this multiplication to make sure I hadn't misremembered

I am terrified I might have forgotten everything I learned last semester, and also terrified what I did learn was only a fraction of what I was supposed to learn

 

[Ajidica]

oh god matrices

*cue flashbacks to the first week of Econometrics*

 

[gay_Aleks]

Ha, ha, as a future History major, I laugh at you!

Of course, instead of that I'll have to study something boring, like where the hell did the Bulgars come from, or why the Church was the hottest cake in the 9th century.

The answer is, as always, Poland.

North Africa is also acceptable.

 

[cardgame]

nobody's responding to my emails

 

[Lohrenswald]

I don't even know what econometrics is
Are you really going to study history, Tolni?

 

[gay_Aleks]

Well, I was considering Informatics/Programming, but I was struck by the realisation that I actually blow at them, and that I'm clearly not enough of a high STEMlord enough to pull through.

And even if I did, I just enjoy history more. I mean, I know, it's a rather stupid choice - a teacher in Bulgaria (which is my most-likely employment if I go with History, the second being professional hobo giggolo) isn't paid much. Or at all.

 

[Lohrenswald]

I did recall you saying you were going for informatics then.

I've sort of done the opposite of what you are going for then. I'm not exited about physics anymore

Anyway, I wish you the best of luck and that you will find fullfilment

 

[bhavv]

Well imagine yourself going in to apply for a computing course in 10 hours with my previously posted failure printout of my qualifications.

I shall obviously have to blame my cheapest possible printer that I have. I'll get it printed in colour when I next visit my job agency advisor.

Well, there's still time, I have 2 more years to study in school. Probably I'll change my opinion twice and pick something ridiculous, like Astronomy or even Physics or who knows, I might try and become a linguist. It's all very unknown right now.

 

[Takhisis]

On a related note: Takh noted something that I thought I had slipped by him, so it's rant time. Unless we all conspire to block him from ever getting a serial thread again.

Good luck with that, I'm in the habit of holding two serial threads at once, sometimes going for the Triple Crown. You naughty robot, you're gonna need it.

My Oreos, as modern cookie packaging demands, came in one of those resealable packages. Both ends, where us old timers would think to be tearing them open, are clearly marked "STOP! Open with pull tab on top!" The top says "LIFT easy open pull tab."

I may be old, but I eat enough cookies to understand the resealable package. But somehow, through a manufacturing error, this package did NOT go through the cutter! I scratched at the "easy open tab" for like a minute (well, a few seconds anyway) before I finally accepted that it was nothing but a ruse to keep me busy while my milk got warm. I'm considering suing Nabisco for emotional distress.

Dude, that sucks. If something prevents me from eating my Oreos and milk it really does significantly downgrade the overall "goodness" of my day. So I feel your pain.

Nobody messes with any of my biscuits, my chocolate, or my chocolate biscuits.

The answer is, as always, Poland.

North Africa is also acceptable.

But they aren't synonyms. Clearly North Africa is North Africa and Poland is in Eastern Europe.

nobody's responding to my emails

I haven't got any of your emails.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Nobody responds to my emails, either, but that could be because I use newspaper cutouts.

It's very hard, if not impossible, to make ransom demands with Garfield comics.

 

[cardgame]

I haven't got any of your emails.

I'm not sure if you'd want my emails.

secondary rant: climate control is unsatisfactory and I'm not sure why. Maybe I'm coming down with a fever or something.

 

[Ajidica]

I don't even know what econometrics is

Simple answer is the application of statistical method to economics.
(IE: The sole reason economics can be classed as a science (soft science, but still a science).)

That was really quite interesting, but even when using Paint, you could have used the T function to type, instead of mouse-write.

 

[GoodSarmatian]

Once again something good happens and it pisses me off. I am just incapable of happiness.
I won about 200€ in the lottery, and all I can think of is how closely I missed 4 million, or at least 15.000.
Two hundred is nice, but it doesn't really help me.
