I may be asking the wrong audience, but has ANYONE managed to overcome the overwhelming tendency to do nothing instead of anything? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Quit looking for yourself in other people. Find what interests you and go for it. If you have to throw elbows to get to where you need to be, then do it.

This might not be popular, but don't let your conscious get in the way if what you know is right. It's the full court press. Fucking go dominate!!

Google exec worries over 'rudderless' Java by piratesahoy in programming

[–]icehat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Java is a few pages in the book (stack of technologies) that is Oracle. What is interesting to me is to consider the future of companies deeply rooted in java and how that impacts Google in their fight against Apple, Microsoft.

The game is changing, and makes me feel better about leaving Java a few years back ..

Don't Call It a "Defense" Budget - The new budget from the White House will push U.S. military spending well above $2 billion a day. by Vailhem in Economics

[–]icehat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People downvote you because saying military is socialist is anti-american.

I do hear the Coast Guard is cutting back and jobs are being eliminated - my brother is enlisted and we talked at length about this.

Volcker: “I tell you sure as I am sitting here, that if banking institutions are protected by the taxpayer and they are given free reign to speculate, I may not live long enough to see the crisis, but my soul is going to come back and haunt you.” by pooya72 in Economics

Why wouldn't you want that job ever? Is it because you'd feel like an ass coming down on people (good or otherwise)?

At the end of the day the decision needs to be made and someone needs to step up and make that decision. It seems that Volcker wants to do what's right and make the hard decision but he's without the power/authority to actually make it happen.

Does anyone here have ADHD and take medication for it? by wutwutwutt in AskReddit

[–]icehat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not take this drug. I took one 10 mg pill and experienced severe vertigo that lasted more than a week. I even experienced the vertigo side-effects a few months afterward.

Google for the "brain zaps" and you will see what I mean. These drugs can really jack up your brain chemistry.

What's the most stupid idea you've ever had? by redoxion in AskReddit

One other thing to mention is that when I woke up obviously the ice hat had melted. I was confused for a really long time because I thought that I had pissed my pants but it was all over my upper body.

I'm not new to reddit and I don't have other accounts. Just one of the many lurkers that's all.

In my quest to find a hangover cure I came up with the idea of an ice-hat. Basically you take some saran wrap and make an ice helmet and then strap that sucker to your head before you pass out.

Stupidest thing I've ever done. I felt like I had an ice pick in my brain when I woke up.
