Object oriented programming is simple. You use objects. Which can be oriented. Orient the objects in the right ways and you have programming.

Things I don't understand

• irrational numbers
• the appeal of Nascar
• fat-free anything

Half my job is taking messages. It's always so funny to say "Would you like to leave a message?" and have the caller say yes and then wait for a beep.

-t, are you able to refrain from saying beep? I don't think I would be.

Okay, with the "Things I don't understand" riff, y'all are earworming (not to be confused with earwaxing, although I'll add if the wax protected against the worm, it would be more appealing) me with Proverbs, of all things. And so I pass it on to you...

There are three things that are too amazing for me,
four that I do not understand:
the way of an eagle in the sky,
the way of a snake on a rock,
the way of a ship on the high seas,
and the way of a man with a maiden.

(I actually understand that last one, now.)

I don't understand:

• why no one but me knew I didn't need to be in the meeting today that prevented me from finishing up my training UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE TO FINISH UP MY TRAINING
• cramps
• why I keep getting the soup from the caf, even though it always sucks

why I keep getting the soup from the caf, even though it always sucks

Hope springs eternal?

Or you are just really hungry and didn't bring your lunch.

I just discovered that a parsec is 3.262 light years. Where did the parsec (as a unit of measurement) come from? Why 3.262?

Or you are just really hungry and didn't bring your lunch.

Or there's never a line.

-t, are you able to refrain from saying beep?

So far. It gets harder every day.

Also:

parsec:

unit for expressing distances to stars and galaxies, used by professional astronomers. It represents the distance at which the radius of the Earth's orbit subtends an angle of one second of arc; thus a star at a distance of one parsec would have a parallax of one second, and the distance of an object in parsecs is the reciprocal of its parallax in seconds of arc. For example, the nearest triple-star system, Alpha Centauri, has a parallax of 0.753 second of arc; hence, its distance from the Sun and the Earth is 1.33 parsec. One parsec equals 3.26 light-years, which is equivalent to 3.09 ´ 1013 km (1.92 ´ 1013 miles). In the Milky Way Galaxy, wherein the Earth is located, distances to remote stars are measured in terms of kiloparsecs (1 kiloparsec = 1,000 parsecs). The Sun is at a distance of 8.5 kiloparsecs from the centre of the Milky Way system. When dealing with other galaxies or clusters of galaxies, the convenient unit is the megaparsec (1 megaparsec = 1,000,000 parsecs). The distance to the Andromeda Galaxy (Messier 31) is about 0.7 megaparsec. Some galaxies and quasars have likely distances on the order of about 3,000 megaparsecs, or 9,000,000,000 to 10,000,000,000 light-years.

parsec

I know this! I know this!

It's the distance at which an object has parallax of one arc second.
