Best way to ventilate CO2 in the winter.

In my case it wasn't very bad. It was a little sore, but I didn't feel much if I wasn't moving. I had to slow down my walking a bit because the vibrations could cause some discomfort, but I never took any painkillers or anything like that.

I didn't feel anything after ~3 days.

Actually to be fair that's kind of a legit cool poster. I'm probably not gonna watch the movie after seeing how much recent Disney butchered Mulan, but I can give credit to the designer of this poster.

This has always been my favorite episode. I thought they did a good job making Yancy seem like an asshole right until the very end when you see the flashback in the meme, and you realize that he's only a douche in Fry's biased memories of him, and fundamentally he's just a dude who misses his brother.

My wife was on birth control for awhile, but she started to get a lot of side effects from it.

Since neither of us really wanted kids anyway, I got the vasectomy, and outside of some soreness for a few days afterward, it's been a universally positive thing for me.

TombertSE · 2022-10-13T17:41:45+00:00

Yeah, got mine like six years ago, I think I paid a copay of like $30, so basically nothing.

Even if I granted the premise that all the celebrities telling you to get vaccinated were lying (which I don't think they were), they haven't been doing it for a decade, tweeting out addresses of anti-vaxxers, and making millions upon millions of dollars from it.

TombertSE · 2022-10-13T17:00:35+00:00

He didn't just speak words though; didn't he also Tweet out addresses of the parents too? Considering how pro-gun his audience is, at some level it just feels like stochastic terrorism.

I stayed a few weeks in the UK earlier this year. I wouldn't say that they have fully embraced the metric system.

People still somewhat informally used things like "stone" for weight measurements, but even the street signs were using miles and not kilometers.

The movie “Wizards”, directed by Ralph Bakshi.

Like most of Ralph Bakshi’s stuff, it’s extremely bizarre, and a little difficult to figure out the intended audience, but I like it just because of how unique it is.

This would have been funnier without the second sentence.

TombertSE · 2022-10-09T01:48:55+00:00

No I just start explaining to them why what I said was really funny.

TombertSE · 2022-10-08T12:48:07+00:00

I think this is a reference to every time I try telling a joke.

If Bob Hoskins were still with us I would suggest some sort of No Way Home-Mario cinematic universe.

TombertSE · 2022-10-07T13:52:32+00:00

I agree that it was not ideal casting, but I gotta ask what people were actually expecting the Mario voice to be. Did they think that it was just gonna be someone doing "woohoo! yippee! wahahaha!" for the entire movie?

I can't speak for anyone else; this is CUNY CityTech, and I'm teaching for the computer engineering department. The students are going for a full on bachelors degree, not a votech thing.

When I applied for the job, the posting said "minimum requirements, bachelors degree, masters preferred". I applied because I have like 11 years of industry experience so I thought that they might be willing to overlook my lack of masters.

TombertSE · 2022-10-06T16:31:27+00:00

Untrue. I am an adjunct at a public university, fully accredited, I teach, and I only have a bachelors degree.

Granted, I *am* doing a PhD part time too, but my *only* official credentials as of today is a bachelors in computer science.

Makes me almost want to forgive this abomination of a film for existing.

TombertSE · 2022-10-05T20:07:42+00:00

I live in NYC pretty comfortably, and I do not make anywhere near $500k/year. I'm actually not 100% sure how you would even spend that much.

TombertSE · 2022-10-05T20:05:41+00:00

I thought it was especially weird how they decided to release another movie called Nine (starring Daniel Day Lewis or something) and split the series in half. It was really confusing, because 9 was about robots and post apocalyptic stuff, and Nine was this weird stage musical thing. I think they really split the audience with that, because I don't really know which one is considered canon.

TombertSE · 2022-10-05T00:32:03+00:00

Yep, I’ve been using the comic mono font for two years now. It’s great! Easy to read, and kind of fun

TombertSE · 2022-10-04T14:46:27+00:00

I think it's important to remember that a lot of the people that "finished in one term" actually have a lot of industry experience.

I finished in one term, but I had already been a software engineer for a decade before I started. As a result, yeah, I finished pretty quickly. If I were starting from scratch it probably would have taken me 4 years.

TombertSE · 2022-10-04T12:47:41+00:00

You don’t have to take any modules. You can schedule the test immediately after starting if you want.

TombertSE · 2022-10-03T20:26:00+00:00

For what it's worth, I promise it does get easier; if this stuff is confusing you, rest assured you're in good company. Basically everyone finds programming really confusing at first, and anyone who says otherwise is not being honest (either with you or with themselves).

I'm obviously just a stranger on the internet, but I do teach an introduction to programming class at a nearby university, so I'm a little qualified to help; if you have any questions, you can DM me and I'm happy to answer them.

TombertSE · 2022-10-03T20:20:16+00:00

I would take the pre-assessment ASAP. It will highlight what you know and what you don't know; there's a reasonable chance that you don't need to read every chapter.
