"If I understand correctly, professor, it is not only theoretically but also practically possible to travel to change the past?"
"Yes."
"Have you tried it?"

@mawr

I was there earlier... finally got my new work laptop.

pull down personal script to grab a ton of common tools I use.. start script.. as soon as homebrew is done installing... (dozen + terminal open and start pulling down 30+ things via brew)

Hmmm... why are web pages resolving slowly.. I need to download X... oh.

"It is time for you to start thinking about marriage," said the king.
"If I'm to marry, I demand the option of marrying one of each," said the princess.
"OK. We live in a modern world."
After the third wedding, he took her aside.
"I assumed you meant one of each gender?"
"I did!"

For clarification... apparently he owns a small 2-seat jet and looks for excuses to keep his flight hours up.

Oh gods... my new director semi-seriously joked about having the CEO fly down here to deliver a laptop if Fedex has not managed to get my laptop delivered by Thursday. (which would be 2 weeks since it was shipped overnight)

"...don't know what to say..."
Wholesale creation is too much to ask of a small god.
"... words fail me ..."
The small god of the right word steals phonemes, reshapes syllables.
"... it's a thingy, wossname ..."
To answer the prayers of the worthy.

Somewhere, a writer grins.

Huh.. going from a company of thousands to sub-30 is -wild-.

@mawr I wonder if I can find someone to style and dye it on short notice this weekend xD

Half the folks that interviewed me had some rad dye jobs.

Oh no.. I am important enough to have to write a bio blurb and have a photo placed on the web page for the my new employer and I haven't had a proper hair cut in 2 years D:

@mawr That is no joke at all.

It has good side quests and combat loop is good (I played a lot of the multiplayer with Aurora when it came out) but the main story is such a drag.

Employment... 

So... I have a month to find a new job. :( And until monday to figure out how I'm going to exit. Director gave me 2 options, one is I agree to be terminated on the 15th which means I collect two more pay checks and still get unemployment... but if something internal to the company opens up I can't take it.

The other is I resign on the 15th, no unemployment but if something comes up internally they move me to it. Blah.. got homework to do this weekend for [redacted]... technical interview for [redacted] on monday.. another technical for a company I really don't want to work for later today.

Just finished another interview.. bleh awkward space of "Everyone wants Senior or Staff SRE and I've only been doing this for 2 years."

Weee brain fried.. two 30 minute interviews both ran over and hours and one of the more interesting prospects is calling back for another 20-30 minutes after dealing with another meeting.

"LED lights last a lot longer than incandescent or compact fluorescent" turned out to be a capitalist scam. They /should/ last longer but rarely do. :blobfrowningbig:
