That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Unless he decided to work in like, community college. Our own DXMachina has been doing that these days...

Yeah, very true -- some of the best paths for people who want to teach instead of research include CCs and small colleges. (And I'd say that applies to all fields, not just hard science.) Guilty of oversimplifying and research-uni blindness, but totally NOT feeling guilty about thinking it can all be a huge grind!

Also, now I miss DX!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's way too much.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Football has finished, so I should go to bed, but now I'm kind of on government shutdown watch.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

My next 2 weeks are likely to be 12-14 hour days, but the last half of October should be pretty easy.

Shutdown.

Anyone got a tent we can live in when we get foreclosed and evicted? Maybe some dog food?

FUCKERS.

Thanks to the talks earlier here, I just snopes'd a friend on FB. No, microwaving water does not magically make it kill plants.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

If you've already applied the water and then microwave it, it might.
