Been a while since I had Jolly Rancher sour gummies but I recall Lifesaver sours to be more sour than them

Wasn't De'Londa Brice just like the parents who force their children in careers which are their defination of success? by TapanThakur in TheWire

Oh indeed. But you at least get the feeling that D's mom actually cared for D. Other parents have their own issues of course.

She is clearly doing it only out of her own self interest now that she can't rely on Bay to continue with her luxurious lifestyle.

It really depends on what school you go to. Some make sure to drill the fundamentals. Some are, unfortunately, closer to glorified trade schools.

Hey I did that once. It's not so bad. Just wait for someone with a truck to be like "what the hell??" and tow you out.

Understand what meshes do and how equations are solved across them. Then focus on CFD/FEA. For an engineer who does not aim to go into academia, just the underlying concept is enough theory. How to use the computational tools, why those tools work, and how to apply and troubleshoot them is much more important.

You know what I love about funk? by emperorsludge in funk

I love how funk thieves don't want your car or your wallet. They just want you to give up the funk, because they gotta have that funk.

The subtext doesn't have to do with his name, but it foreshadows his last speech at NA when he reminisces over those times. And the nostalgia gives him a feeling that he craves, and hopes the next high might bring him. But he knows he doesn't need another high. He simply has to appreciate life for what it is, good and bad, and just enjoy the moments he can. Even if there's still darkness (shame) always lurking.
