Dreams are just wishes. What you need are goals. And for goals, you need a plan and hard work.

You’ve probably spoken to yourself in your head more than you’ll ever speak to another person in your life.

HUMAN ODDITIES

School just catches you up on all of humanity’s progress so that you can continue where we left off.

What kind of childhood must she have had.

You’ve probably done something habitually that a stranger has noticed, thought was cool, and tried to emulate.

Okay, pay attention.

If you add sugar or cream to you coffee you DO NOT have to dirty a spoon. Just pour it into the empty cup and then add the coffee. The roiling of the liquid will do all the stirring you need. And every time you do it, think of me.

Swimsuits can't get any smaller.

Maybe it's time to just accept nudity as a natural part of being human.

The inability to easily lick our genitals is probably up there with opposable thumbs for allowing humankind to advance.

OBJECTS OF INTEREST


Tombstones will probably have QR codes on them in the future that share the life-story of those buried there.

I predict that in the future land will be much too valuable for burials.

I connected immediately with the artist who was tasked with writing the instructions his pharaoh was to use to get into the afterlife and he fucked up by repeating the same five characters. And he just Xed it out.

BTW I have looked for a photo of that for years with no success. The original was painted, not carved.

I don't know when huge asses became desirable. They don't have butt dimples.

It's a post pounder.

A4: Only the US, Liberia and Myanmar still use the imperial system. However, Many in the UK will still refer to the height of a person in feet and inches. Mainline rails are also in miles.

In Australia, a lot of the older folk - 50 and up, will refer to height in feet and inches, but distance and around-the-hose measurements in metric.

C6: Appears someone else commenting before me can't follow the instructions to confuse the city boys.

That's a zipline slide tube.

You hold on to the handles and the tube slides down the steel zipline to deliver you (or goods) to the other end. It is typically erected over a body of water or canyon to expedite travel/delivery. A sissy, will clip a strap on to the handles for safety, but a true redneck will just "let 'er ride".

A8: I worked my ass off for over a year pouring over, correcting, and testing old computer code that only supported a two digit year, so that your bank account, age calculation, retirement, mortgage, car loan, etc. all continued to work when the year went from "99" to "00". I was onsite from 10:00 PM to 9:00 AM to monitor the nightly processing and spot check accounts just in case we missed something, and on call to "follow the sun" as the clock struck midnight in other countries.

While many were out celebrating New Year, 10,000s of nerds like me were up watching the code process rather than the ball drop.

I'll never forget being at a family gathering in April of 2000 and hearing everyone talking about the "Big Y2K hoax", and that nothing even happened. I tried to explain to them WHY nothing happened (nothing big anyway), but they were convinced it was all a big scare tactic.

Trivia: What a lot of people may not have realized, and a lot of companies missed, is that the popular calculation at the time for leap year resulted in a logic error which ABENDED the program(s) (ABnormal END - an old term for "Crash"). Most people think that if a year is divisible by 4 it is a leap year, but that is not always true. As far as computer processing goes, It was not only the first leap year to land on a century mark, but also on a millennia mark.

The bank I worked for, and every other bank using that particular software, did not experience the Leap-year issue. That is because I found it in August of 1999 and reported up to the software vendor. I told them where the error was and how to fix it. The vendor then notified thousands of banks, preventing massive processing crashes at the end of February.

For those who care, the leap-year calculation is below.

To determine whether a year is a leap year, follow these steps:

Step 1) If the year is evenly divisible by 4, go to step 2. Otherwise, go to step 5.
Step 2) If the year is evenly divisible by 100, go to step 3. Otherwise, go to step 4.
Step 3) If the year is evenly divisible by 400, go to step 4. Otherwise, go to step 5.
Step 4) The year is a leap year (it has 366 days).
Step 5) The year is not a leap year (it has 365 days)

or....
I picked a language that is very human readable. There are many other expressions to do the same.

function isLeapYear (year):
if ((year modulo 4 is 0) and (year modulo 100 is not 0))
or (year modulo 400 is 0)
then true
else false

The next year that is divisible by 4 and 100 and is NOT a leap year will be 2100.
