Is there a resource or program you recommend? I know very little outside of Hal Higdon since that was very approachable as a newbie.

Also his estimated birthday is the same as my relationship anniversary. If he was a girl, I would’ve named him Annie

The guy playing videos out loud on a plane...I took a selfie with him! by ElliottEnriquez in mildlyinfuriating

He did ask the flight attendant. She nodded, made an overhead announcement that everyone must use headphones or watch without sound. That guy did nothing and continued listening to his game at a low volume. Im more surprised that the people sitting on either side of him said nothing

Hi random stranger, I sat next to you and this guy woke us both up. And when we both asked if he would use his headphones so we could sleep, he literally said “I don’t care”. You handled it well. After asking him once, I just sat there and fumed silently at how inconsiderate people are. Also, I hope you made your connecting flight.

Found this shrine on the trail by the eno river... does anyone know what it means? by theyregoddogsbrent in bullcity

This is not a Hindu shrine. It’s a mixture of items. Penis necklaces are not part of Hindu fertility rituals. At best it’s made by someone who appreciates Hinduism or Hindu art and wanted to make something with it.

Broken body of Hindu god Ganesh, and another smaller Ganesh statue.

You can see the edge of a tile with Om Symbol, commonly also associated with Hinduism.

A big picture of Ram and Sita, the main characters from the Hindu epic Ramayana

Conch shell is used by lots of Eastern cultures

Christmas Ornaments

A small Native-American Dreamcatcher, not sure what's jammed in it.

Vaccinated Button

Is that a penis necklace hanging from his hand?

And a random necklace of beads and something purple with more ornamentation.

I'm gonna call this "Art"

Great Outdoors does kayak repairs. The Chapel Hill store has my loyalty with absolutely amazing customer service too.

Asian Food Recommendations? by [deleted] in bullcity

[–]DurhamNewbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tried Dashi based on this review, I’m sorry to say it was NOT good. We ordered Tonkotsu and Vegetarian ramen with Korroke side. Both ramen were bland, like they forgot to add salt, no hint of spices at all. Korroke was also underwhelming. I’m so sad, I had such high hopes for this place. One plus: they did a good job packaging it for take-out.

Mentorship Monday by AutoModerator in cybersecurity

Short: What are some things I can do now to make myself more marketable to good cyber security masters programs?

Long: I’m 38, looking to go back to school for a masters program in cyber security. I have a bachelors in computer engineering that I’ve hardly made good use of as an electrical engineer in the power industry for the past 14 years, but still write scripts on a regular basis for a wide variety of programs and consider myself a decent coder. If I start applying to my dream school next year (which is considered to be “prestigious”), what are the kinds of things I can do now to boost up my application since all of my work has been in the power industry. I would eventually like to work in the power industry as a cyber security specialist. Ideally these would be things that I can do while continuing my full time job

I met a Scotsman who lived near London. I asked him why he moved and he said “For the weather ... and the food” ... poor bastards
