We have to be able to talk to the marketing people. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Cool. We'll get you off the stripper pole one of these days. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Beth told me how the Harry Potter series ends. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Yeah, she never explained HOW she's living off of the friend. Considering how this thread shows her values I can only guess what sort of moral trespasses she endures to make money! WOW... y'all really are priceless... I mean seriously... fwiw... she isn't living off of a friend... she has a friend that is happy to provide a roof over her head until she can land a job (or more accurately until her current lease is up and she can get an apartment of her own) and as I said she is working on correcting the problem. This is not as serious a post as some of y'all seem to think it is... She breeds and fights dogs in a back alley gambling ring. She told me so.

Nope. I don't care about money that much. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Yeah, because $8000 goes a LONG way these days. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Why do they need Bear Arms, they already have claw on their paws. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

We had an arm in the wind tunnel that registered the amount of force on the object. I think the point of it was to determine the coefficient of friction (drag) on various shapes. One specifially was a truck that we tested just bare, then stuck clay onto it, one was a ball, then a cube, a model F16. Edit: I think this was for my Aeronautical Engineering course, not Fluids.

Bank Error in Your Favor? For taxes it's 3 years but I don't know about mistakes like this. For the foreseeable future you should leave the amount in your bank. You were erronously overpaid and they can quote your contractual agreement for your payscale to show that the money is not yours. Don't be surprised if you see a -$7965.9 show up on your account. In the meantime, you can collect interest on it, but that's it. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Hello Nurse I've had experience with nurses. Fun fun fun. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Don't waste your time on an engineering program that is not ABET certified. Most employers specify it as a requirement too. It's a long tough road -- expensive too! http://www.abet.org/ Exactly. The non-certified programs are usually listed with the word "Technology" at the end. Like Mechanical Engineering Technology. Its basically a watered down version of a real ME program. So you'll get half assed training and eventually half assed pay. As an example, while still in college, I walked into a lab and saw students smearing play-doh on a toy Hummer. I asked them what class this was and they said Fluid Mechanics. I didnt realize until afterward that they were ME Tech students. Now when I took Fluid Mechanics we never left the classroom and everything was out of a text book. In the technology program you get idea behind the theories by conducting Mr Wizard experiments, you dont actually learn them. If this seems like a better alternative to you than maybe you should consider not being an engineer. That's not a very good example. We (VMI) did the same thing but took the results back to the classroom to figure out what shapes had the least drag. Can't be an engineer unless you know how to apply the book to the real world.

Pack. Earn it. College is no time to start racking up debt. You hand around the DZ as staff and you'll find a way to get in the air. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Bit of a pricetag for a weekend plinker. I'd get a Colt .45 Peacemaker if I were throwing down some serious dinero. [lights fire] I'm just gonna go see what I can rustle up in downtown Wash D.C. [runs] "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Get some hobbies, learn to cook, get to know each other. We've gone centuries without television and now it seems like our happiness hinges on it. What the fuck happened? A TV is now practically the centerpiece of a house. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I'll lend all pregnant chicks a Lightning 160, they just have to take in on a 15 second delay. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I'm looking for a good target pistol. Will have to check one out. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

It's basically par for the course for an undergrad degree. The reason is that a college degree isn't just about learning how to make air hot or cold or make engines work. It's proof that you can function on a higher level. Sheit, I had to take a phys ed course in college along side my military, and social sciences courses to get my Mech E degree. Why Mechanical Engineering? As a carpenter you'd probably do better in a Construction Management degree since you have a knack for how things come together. Edit: Oh, but you'll still have to take the history stuff. Edit2: And a Mechanical Engineering degree from Lincoln Tech isn't look at seriously in the professional world. Does that even exist?

he's actually pretty good looking! Yeah, except you have to deal with this crap spewing out of his mouth every so often: "Deep answer – because I have a very close, very intimate relationship with the earth. I have been taking people to the mountains on journeys for over a decade. Every year I spend multiple days alone in the mountains, fasting, contemplating life, myself, my ego, my community, my place in existence. I have relearned how to communicate directly with the planet, with the animals and with all of the things people don’t think we can speak to – trees, rocks, plants, etc. No, I don’t need drugs to do this. After all of these years, the earth and I talk about many things. She came up with this idea and asked me to do it. If you can’t handle this answer and it makes you feel weird and makes me sound like an ungrounded, new age, freak to you, that’s ok. I invite you to spend significant time in nature and simply see for yourself what happens. I feel good about who I am." "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Yup, people operate with some very strict assumptions. I lived in a tent for 10 months, an odd arrangement for a Project Manager at an extremely corporate engineering firm. I got a kick out of telling people what my deal was. The reactions ranged from full blown admiration to those people who would kind of glance around and have trouble making eye contact. Most of my family is in the latter group even though I thought they'd be used to some of the weird shit I do. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Yeah, this guy at my DZ loved his Nitro but kept getting sput up. He sent it back and they said the slider was wrong. We have a lot of people jumping Nitros at my DZ and everyone loves the openings; always soft and on heading. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

The smoke only masks the smell. Get fan or try Beano. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I'm going to be moored out in the harbor so access wouldn't be easy but don't worry, I'd make sure it stays running. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Are there hip-hop ganster-wanna-be's in Canada? I just can't imagine someone saying they're from the mean streets of Winnipeg or Moose Jaw pimpin' their new pair of Nike Mukluks. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
