Re: Why you should have emergency food on hand

You really can't make people any more aware or tell people to get out any more than we have in the last few disasters, from Katrina to this. The ability of weather-guessing is so fine now, that we easily can predict this stuff over a week ahead. While lots of folks acted on the information, lots ma...

A friend calls them the "Fuck You 40s." So far, they've been way better than the angst-ridden 20s and the ennui-laden 30s.

Have a great birthday and enjoy every minute!

Re: Coursera.org (and other online ed platforms)

College math = nice definition of "fun," syaigh! I've been hearing the university elitists pooh-pooh online education for years, but every year, they themselves are struggling to find more ways to offer online options. Guess they're realizing the Ivory Tower has to go wireless.

Re: Coursera.org (and other online ed platforms)

These courses are free, right? Heard an NPR story talking about the value/drawbacks/revenue stream.

I'm interested to see how/if these online offerings will have any impact on "traditional" universities, especially with things like transfer credit implications.

A bit more than a year after college graduation. Glad those days are over. Older is actually (blessedly) shaping up to be better.

Re: Meanwhile, in St. Louis

It's been decades since I've been back to St. L, but TD is one of my fondest high school, Friday-night memories. Rough surroundings notwithstanding, there were always well-lighted, clean parking lots so as not to scare off the suburbanites. And I seem to remember some pretty heated Kansas City-St. L...

Delighted to see exactly the sort of response I expected: multiple references to bestiality, an undoubtedly NSFW link, reference to the camping trip initiation, questions about race, an imperative to leave, an ultimatum to post tits or GTFO. And a cordial welcome from Syaigh. So baffled, I'm colored...

Introduction (to be polite and all)

I am given to understand that an IGX introduction is good form, so instead of my usual lurking, here goes. . . . My obese BMI compelled me to restrict calories and start working out on my own at the gym. Years later, I'm stronger and leaner and less angry. But I'm also older (44) and creakier, tryin...
