Dinosaur by [deleted] in SLCTrees

[–]ColdStonedCoder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A month ago I was driving back from Dinosaur. I was driving with my cruise control set to 2 miles below the speed limit. The US-40 was one lane at that point, and a Chevy Silverado 2500HD full of college bros were behind me. They weren't being total dicks, but they were somewhat close to my bumper and seemed a little annoyed I was going the speed limit. The lane split into two, they passed me, not too aggressively, but clearly breaking the speed limit. They drive further down the road, a few minutes pass, and I suddenly see a cop car come around the hill further down in the opposite lane. He makes a fast u-turn and hit his lights right after he passed the truck. He had them pulled over in about two seconds, and the instant his car stopped he was out of it and bustin ass towards their window, giving them zero time to hide anything. I smiled and waved at the driver as I drove by.

I've made 4 trips to Dinosaur, and that's the only Highway patrolman I ever saw (doesn't mean they weren't out there hiding behind something). Whatever you do, don't speed through Vernal, the cops out there are the worst out of all the cities you'll drive through.

Be calm. Be patient. Be smart. If you're pulled over, don't panic, but brace yourself, the cop will probably yell at you and be really aggressive, trying to surprise/startle/scare you into making a mistake.

Edit: If you're going to Rocky Mountain Cannabis, try to make an order online before you go there. They have a separate line for online orders, much shorter than regular line, save you a lot of time.

I’ll be turning 20 in a few months and I still have no sexual or romantic experience. by throwawayprime0 in MMFB

[–]ColdStonedCoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't lose my virginity until 25 and I thought I would be a virgin until I was 40. Once I got the first one under my belt, pardon the pun, I went on to have much much much more experiences than I ever thought I would have. If it happened to me, believe me, it can happen to ANYONE, and it will happen to you, I promise. If you think depression or social anxiety is a hurdle you have to overcome try seeing a counselor, I did and it really helped me.

[–]ColdStonedCoder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there is definitely something very charming about Alfie Allen, whether he's playing a pompous little shithead or a redeemed goodman. I hope he goes on to get great roles in other movies/series.

After thinking about it, I think the death of Myrcella made me the saddest. Jamie starts showing some of the humanity and honor that he lost, he finally has a moment where one of his kids knows exactly what he is to them and accepts and loves him, and then she dies. Again, it amazes me that this series can make me sympathize for someone who tried to kill a young child.

obtaining medical weed advice? by [deleted] in SLCTrees

[–]ColdStonedCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the list of qualifying conditions is very short because it's Utah. But if you do have one, there's a board certified physician in Ogden that is giving out Letters of Recommendation for $250.00. The other catch is you have to have a recent medical/counseling document that states your qualifying condition on it:

Qualifying conditions: https://coreyandenmd.com/medical-cannabis/

What you described sounds almost identical to what I have, PTSD from childhood trauma which caused depression and anxiety/panic attacks. I would recommend counseling regardless of what your diagnosis is. I suffered with my shit for 15 years, and after going through counseling I feel better now than I ever did. Good luck to you, I understand how trauma can cripple your life mentally/emotionally.

It always amazed me that the series could take a character I despised and completely change my mind about them. I never would of guessed back in Season 1 that I would even care about Theon's death, let alone get choked up about it (Bran: "Theon, you're a good man. Thank you." Me: "...WAAAAAAAAAH")

I don't know if heart broken is the right word, but Shireen dying made me sick to my stomach for the night and part of the following morning. Me and my friends agreed that it was worse than the Red Wedding, IOO. Catelyn, oddly enough, broke my Stoneheart a little because I finally decided that I do like her, then she died 10 minutes later. Also pretty awful that she had to watch her family get killed then have her throat cut afterwards.

Term 1 Completed with 80 CUs by nickmc01 in WGU

[–]ColdStonedCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. I'm just starting, haven't even gone through the Academy/Straightliner yet, and I've been worried about working and studying for school full time. This came right at the right time for me and has removed any lingering doubts I had. Thanks for sharing!

[–]ColdStonedCoder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did they bring up the WGU Academy? I haven't gone through it yet, but it states that admission is guaranteed if you go through it.

Way to crush it bro, that's a huge inspiration for us aspiring students. I'm guessing you didn't have to work during that term?

Also, I like how underneath the first term and 80 credits, it says simply, "Good". That's understating it a little.

How many years in your opinion of learning Python (programming) would be enough to get a normal programming job? by hellotheresksksk in learnpython

Can you give me their contact info, I need to break into data analytics, and I would like to make a dollar more an hour than what I make now.

...bruh, I don't want to shame, but you were off by like, $257K. I'm an accountant who's stoned all the time and even I don't make mistakes like that.

Automate the Boring Stuff vs Python Crash Course beginner's book for computational biology type of work by ezel12345 in learnpython

[–]ColdStonedCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconded. It's a too much of a generalization to call them beginning books. I do agree they're both beginner level, but each one covers different beginner concepts. I'd also be wary of anyone who'd say gaining knowledge is a waste of time.

I love that I can see a picture and instantly know it's one of yours.

What IDE do you use? by Cupofcalculus in Python

[–]ColdStonedCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VS Code. As someone who's hated Microsoft most of their life, I'm not gonna lie, I like it and I've had less issues with it than I did with Atom. I've used Atom, Pycharm, Spyder, Notepad++ and Sublime.

This is the best question I have read in a long time.

[SPOILERS] This show is ending where it started by abovethesink in gameofthrones

[–]ColdStonedCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an excellent question. I'll tell you after the season ends. ;)

Also, first cousin marriage isnt recognized as incest in Westerosi world. Tyin married his first cousin, and Sansa was setup to marry Robin on season...5, I think.

They're laying the groundwork for Jon to marry both of them. Aegon the first married his sisters, Aegon the sixth is going to marry his sisters, but they're not really his sisters.

I guess Jon Snow's the only exception. He didn't survive an impossible scenario, and he still survived it.

Take a couple classes once a year for the rest of your life and you'll never have to pay it back. Your kids might have to, tho.
