    a job where you can travel a lot?

    I would suggest becoming an exploration geologist. Lots of travel, but don't expect to be sent anywhere pleasant. Plan on spending time in jungles, inside volcanoes, winters in a tent in northern Canada, severe deserts. Get face time with wolves, bears, mountain lions, and all manner of...

    How is this not a thing?

    I understand perfectly. My first car was a Fiat 850 Sport Spider. Whenever there was a wiring problem, the previous owner had simply cut the wire out. I pretty much rewired the whole thing with whatever wire I had at hand. I guarantee it looked nothing like the official wiring diagram...

    Bridge Story

    One time in Sydney, we were driving at the wrong time. We were on a road that suddenly widened to five lanes and traffic closed in. We were unable to change lanes and totally helpless, with no idea where we were going. All we could do is go along with the flow. We then found ourselves being...

    A new Resident Evil movie, just because...

    It seems to me that this went into "milking a dead cow" territory several movies ago.

    Unsure Of Proper Social Responses

    I apologize in advance, but I can't help it. COBRA. Is that something to support the breasts of Siamese twins? This may belong in the Dad Jokes thread)

    Unsure Of Proper Social Responses

    A quote from Bruce Lee - - "You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing everything with logic. If words control you that means everyone can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass." I learned...

    Less Visible Fidgets

    I seem to be compelled to look for identical pieces floor tiles or facing bricks and map them out. There are usually only 10-20 different pieces. Sometime I get so intense doing this, people think I'm in a coma. I have found that being in a coma (real or illusory) to be a good way to deal...

    The cure for anything

    Agreed. Well, almost everything.

    Less Visible Fidgets

    I frequently try to find new ways to interlock my fingers or make patterns. In fact, I just thought of one I don't remember doing before.

    Nice Landing, Ladies

    True, True, it did take some courage. New Shepherd has flow 20 unpersoned and 11 personed (to be politically correct) flights. Seems to me that is getting into the routine range, especially considering it barely gets into space and lasts just over 10 minutes, launch to landing. I don't think...

    Nice Landing, Ladies

    Not to denigrate their going, but this was nothing more than a publicity stunt. They were not "crew," they were passengers. They operated no controls, they performed no experiments. All they did was sit in chairs, float around a few minutes, then get back in their chairs. This applies to...

    Do your parents forget about your autism?

    My parents never even knew I HAD autism. If my parents did know, my father would have tried to beat it out of me, and my mother would have said "Just stop being autistic." It would not have gone well.

    Death to maiden in me

    When I was doing field training in Utah, we sometime went to a local bar in the evenings. One time one of the cowboys hit on the wife of one of my colleagues. I wish I could remember exactly what she said, but it was good. Five minutes after she left, one of the cowboys suddenly looked up and...
