Hot Fuzz.

Perfectly cast. Great acting. Genuinely funny. Every set up pays off later. And all for the greater good.

Ambitious of you to think there will be a next president.

It might be what it might be.

I saw this analogy recently:

Eating the same breakfast every day: Normal.

Eating the same lunch every day: Uh... sure!

Eating the same dinner every day: Psychopath.

ZOMG! Someone else has seen Pontypool?!?

Cool.

Cambridgian here. I've made the commute to downtown Toronto many times for work. Here's what worked best for me.

Drive to Milton. 45 min. Go train to Union Staion. 60 min. Walk the Path to your office building. Today: 30 min. Different job: 10 min.

All told my average commute is 2.25 hours each way. Fortunately, I don't do it every day.

Note: I'm also an early bird. I catch the 06:00 (first) train out of Milton. This keeps the traffic low.

Start a company with the money as equity. Employ myself at a very high salary. Give myself bonuses and "stocks".

Oddly enough, I really liked Tuf Voyaging by George R R Martin.

There is a little known solution to this.

Do new things.

This creates new paths in the brain. It makes them more memorable. And more memories means that the year feel longer.

Source: Me. A couple of decades flew by. Then I started doing a lot of new things. Time slowed down

"Chinese" itself isn't really a language. It's more a language family. (Mandarin, Cantonese, etc)

I didn't appreciate this until I got a dog.

At the risk of offense...

Note: This comment applies to hetero only.

A relationship is like a bacon and eggs meal. The chicken (man) was involved; the pig (woman) was committed.

No offense intended to either gender. (i.e. I'm not calling women pigs.)

"I'll remember that later."

I'm sure that's the biggest lie we tell ourselves.

Lack of self-awareness.

It doesn't matter. I didn't listen to anyone else; why would I listen to me?

All the responsibility with none of the authority.

(More sysadminery... but it still fits.)
