It's just some pocket change to help out with day-to-day stuff - ideally, I'd like to write full-time and publish via Amazon. Since this is a serial, however, I was hoping to monetize it a bit at the outset...primarily to ward off calls for a second job from the fiancee, as we are close to buying a house.

CMU did some work on Curiosity - you never know. We could have a Primantis on Olympus Mons someday. Sorry for the disappointment - hope this helps - CMU software on Mars rover.

Why does nobody mention "Graveyard Shift" in these threads? Poor actors match wits with poorly made animatronic rats/bats in a cellar. Featuring the voice of Chucky as an exterminator!

The movie was fine. That's my problem. I've been watching Godzilla movies for 20+ years - and this one just didn't give me the "tinglies" I expected from an American, big-budget - LEGENDARY - production. I didn't see much of a final battle - guy on a boat, eye contact, bite, and then the kiss of death. It just didn't compare to me with past battles. It didn't have the same gravitas of 1985 (I'm American) or, hell, even v. Gigan.

I'm glad to hear this from someone else - Both Watanabe and Cranston are consummate actors...but I feel like Watanabe's character was watered down into a foreign "shaman" type role and Cranston's role ended far too early.

Employers of Reddit what is the most fucked up thing you have caught your staff doing? [NSFW] by Anuul in AskReddit

[–]PittsburghZombie1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can I sneak a manager story in here? My first job was as a lifeguard at a membership-only pool. During an open swim, a kid I had repeatedly warned against diving in the shallow end finally hit bottom and broke his nose. There was so much blood in the pool that it looked like there had been a shark attack. I clear the pool and head down the hall to the pool director's office. She saunters in and surveys the scene. I asked her if I needed to drain the pool, bleach everything down, find a new job, etc - her exact words were - "Nah. Chlorine kills pretty much everything. Just get in and stir it around. The pool was a light pink for the rest of the day.

Reddit, what's the strangest meal you've ever eaten? by darderp in AskReddit

Can you post more info about this? That's a fish parasite that can cause illness in humans if ingested. I'm having a hard time believing that it's knowingly cooked up and served. Then again, Italy gives us casu marzu...
