My advisor told me on Sunday I needed to write a proposal for some telescope time. I spent all week running around really stressed trying to finish it while he's on a working vacation in Australia... and then last night when I stayed up till 2am finishing the first draft and sent it to him, he said the candidates aren't good enough and to scrap the whole proposal.

So.... yeah. I'm kind of frustrated...

Don't worry, he's in Australia. Something will bite him on the ass.

It'll probably be deadly poisonous, too.

Kinda makes you wonder why ANYBODY would live in Australia.

There is a linear relationship between "Probability that it could kill you" and "Holy cow, that is so cool". And they have monotremes

Well, I suppose that's also why anybody would pick up swordfighting. One mistake can cost your life, but at the same time, it is so damned cool you can't help but love it.

You know I'm still making jokes about the stadium throwing an incomplete pass to the Hawkeyes...

Sounds like someone's a 49'ers fan.

dman11235 · « **Reply #472 on:** February 06, 2012, 01:00:47 PM »

I am indeed a 49ers fan. And Patriots. And Bears. Yes, there's a really large mix of teams in our house.

After less than a year, the external hard drive I have been using to boot my MAC (the external is for recreation, the laptop itself is for my design work) gave out. The MAC doesn't even recognize when I plug in the external, so I'm fairly sure the hardware is shot.

Aside from some of my homebrew projects, I now cannot update my Ipod because all of my music and videos were on the external (the laptop's hard drive isn't big enough).

He's back and trolls like always, but now with double strength. He registered as Polarity Shift (again a female, like with Basket Burner) and after some time made a sock-puppet account, called Slayer_of_Gimps (

), to double team any opponents in a debate and to suck ~~each others dicks~~his own dick.
It is just pathetic.

Thank you for your input. It will be considered.

Still don't give a fuck.

+1

I'm also convinced that Basket Burner wasn't Sunic. More to the point, why does it matter? If you don't like someone, ignore all of their posts. That's what I do.
