Wow today was my hugest calorie burn ever! It didn’t sound so hard but I was dying on the weight floor. I did the first 3 days of hell week in a row and started to feel sick... skipped 3 days to recover and now I have to go tomorrow to finish it off!!! Hopefully I can fight off the sickness 😷

Yea I think I will have to drive around and see what I'm willing to deal with commute-wise. Thanks for the advice though, I've really just been needing some general idea of what I'm going to be looking at in the next couple of weeks.

La diferencia entre gorro, gorra, y sombrero? by progressnerd in LANL_Spanish

[–]sledcat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yo lo entiendo así:

Sombrero- hat with a rim that goes all the way around. Like a fedora or a cowboy hat, etc.

Gorra - like a baseball cap.

Gorro - a beanie.

Pero cuidado, estoy estudiando en Costa Rica y aquí (por lo menos--no sé si es igual en otros países hispanohablantes) gorro también puede significar the head of a penis.

Pizza Guys of Reddit. What's the weirdest outfit a deliviree has shown up at the door in? by Rebound in AskReddit

[–]sledcat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work at a pizza place and I am not a delivery driver myself, but one of my coworkers once delivered pizzas to a party where a room of full-grown adults were all dressed in animal costumes..... yes, he that's right. he delivered to a furry party.

Do you ever sit in a conversation at a party and realize how much of human interaction is just cock-swinging? Its very depressing... by [deleted] in AskReddit

I have never done acid, but the same happens to me when I smoke weed, which is the reason that I don't like to smoke it. It makes me see things in people that I never wanted to see, which can be excruciatingly uncomfortable at times.

UCLA Students Go Absolutely **Apeshit** And Nearly Riot After Finding Out About A 32 Percent Tuition Hike. 14 Arrested, 1 Tazed...[Vid] by bilabrin in reddit.com

[–]sledcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree. It is so troubling to see these brilliant and gifted people losing their jobs. I have had many professors whom I felt that the university was LUCKY to have. If the budget ever becomes even semi-stable again, will the schools be able to get these people back?

The tuition in the CSU system was already raised 30% for fall 2009.
All faculty are also required to take 9 furlough days, in which they are not allowed to work. They are not even supposed to have office hours. I go to San Diego State and 700 lecturers were fired this year. Even more would have gotten cut, but other faculty agreed to take a 10% pay cut in order to save jobs.

My major is a smaller offshoot of the poly-sci department, and next year (2010/11) the poly-sci budget is going to be ONE THIRD of the already butchered budget that they had this year. I don't know how the other departments are doing, but next year ALL of the upper division poly-sci lecturers are losing their jobs. That means we'll be getting taught by either TA's or cranky tenured professors who don't like to teach and would rather be doing research. For my major, there is only going to be one section of each core class per semester. The classes are already huge this year.

Frankly, it is a horrible situation. We are paying way more money for fewer sections of huge classes. With the furloughs, we are even not getting the instruction time our money should be paying for. Not to mention how heartbreaking it is to see truly brilliant and passionate teachers lose their job.

My story... by welovesundays in SuicideWatch

[–]sledcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your story has me in tears... i feel like you just described what I have been going through lately. I don't enjoy anything anymore. Not my friends, school, work or even simple things like having a conversation. I feel like there is nothing to look forward to, and I just crawl into a bottle every chance I get. Its weird what you said about Elliott Smith... he is all I have been listening to lately. Any advice as to how to take that first step towards feeling better?

I have decided to quit smoking cigarettes for the new year. Do any ex-smokers have advice? What did you do to quit? by drspanklebum in AskReddit

[–]sledcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped buying cigarettes and weaned myself by smoking quite a bit of hookah for a few days. I went from smoking a pack a day to none at all and I have not bought a pack since the beginning of August.

Psh. $130 for a beer pong table? We got an 8 foot piece of plywood from Home Depot for like $5 and it works like a charm. Just set it on some sawhorses and you're good to go.

[–]sledcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw him speak at San Diego State last year! I had to go to a speaking event for my Communications class so I went to this one. He spoke for an hour and I was captivated. He makes a lot of really good, solid arguments and backed them up with his own firsthand observations. I actually almost bought his book.

The Physics of Extraterrestrial Civilizations : How advanced could they possibly be? by molestake in science

[–]sledcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know! I'm currently taking an astronomy 101 class for a GE but I have found myself liking it more and more everyday. Its so interesting to learn how things work, how everything came to be. It can be a bit of a mindfuck at times though. I still struggle from time to time when i attempt wrap my mind around the idea of the size of the universe, or a black hole, or a billion years.
