whats your major peng? associate's in Nuclear Power Technology; my bachelor's in Management isn't doing dick for me so I figure I might try out the family business

the alligator's open mouth always points to the larger number 8 > 3 3 < 5 etc. I was taught the arrow points to the smaller number

The junior college started this program (as well as a PTAC program) in cooperation with the chemical plants and the nuke plant in the area a few years ago. As a result, there are a lot of senior employees teaching the technical courses. The first year of the nuke program, in order to entice students into the program, said nuke plant guaranteed employment to all future graduates of the program. Then people started graduating from the program and working out at the plant and it become apparent almost overnight that the guaranteed employment was a bad idea. A very, very, very, very, very, very bad idea. Said graduates (the majority of which attended/graduated from the same school district) were woefully unprepared for even the most basic of the junior college courses and graduated by the skin of their teeth. The senior employees/professors (a few are family friends of ours) got extremely pissed at the dumbassery. As a result, an asston of basic math and science courses are now required for completing the degree plan, since this school district apparently has not/is not preparing them properly

only 4 hours into it and I've completed 3 exams and 3 homework assignments think I'm done for the night, though...finish the rest of the course tomorrow

apparently not and is the main reason I'm taking it for this winter "minimester" as they call it; 6 homework assignments, 6 tests, 1 final exam, all open book/open notes, all multiple choice, and you're done in 2 weeks

apparently not

true, true its some random math course required for the nuke degree program; basic algebra, nothing entirely difficult

winter online course opened up this afternoon; I've spent maybe 2 hours on it and am a fourth of the way through the entire course...wish all courses were like this

Water cooler is washed and sanitized within an inch of its life...I'm running out of things to do

Changed for the better, thank goodness

Gen. Mattis if I remember correctly

Dude with as proud to be gay as alot of people are its going to cause problems. ALOT of people have issues with homosexuality. This will not end well. J I think we did just fine for the ~220 years we didn't have it

I kid, I kid; pretty much every male on both sides of my family served in the military, so I have to break balls when I can

2.2something miles, 300 cal, 38 carbs plus upper body weight lifting; stamina is finally increasing

Professionalism? In the military? Surely you jest

Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism is a pretty good watch and resonates my feelings about Fox News...hell cable news in general

damn straight. did you watch the daily show thursday night? Yes I did; made me want to smash something

Republican Senators need to STFU already and pass the Zagroda bill; fucking dicks

Even with Congress extending the Bush tax cuts?

Realistically though all 24 hour news channels have some agenda to push/axe to grind Fox News gets more attention for their BS than other networks simply due to their size/ratings/presence

Granted, if I went to Houston I could find any manner of protein for Christmas, but since I didn't get to do a turkey for Thanksgiving, I'm making one now. What can I say, I like good turkey

Details... What can I say, I live in a shithole of a town; the Chevy dealership where we bought the Silverado (35 miles away) gave us a free oil change, tire rotation, and paid for the gas over there and back. We stopped at the local H-E-B and they had scores of 'em. Same grocery chain, same basic store size, different turkey selection
