I was an IT pro from about 1970-2012 and saw work attire (in that field) go from pin stripe suits to pretty much anything goes. It was indeed rediculous, as someone up-thread noted, to be pulling heavy mainframe bus and tag cables under raised floors wearing suits. But in those days we were in...
We're watching it right now and my wife won't let me stop and verify this, but it's a series on FX, so find the tv series section and you should be able to navigate to it.
Oops. I forgot we're watching it on Hulu, not Netflix. Apologies.
Douglas Adams always maintained 42 was just a number he picked out of thin air because it was funny to him and had no hidden meaning.
But I really like your answer. If it wasn't Adams' explanation, it certainly should have been.
Then we'll have to agree to disagree because I am going to look you in the eye right back and state you are wrong. And neither one of us is automatically right by making such statements.
I certainly never said nor implied what you are now saying. I know as well as anyone that there is no such thing as security. I've certainly experienced layoffs and job loss in my life. I changed careers after one of those. In fact, I've changed careers several times. What I didn't do was give...
Tell that to all the immigrants I see coming here and starting their own businesses. Opportunities still exist. Those who don't seem to understand that and are unwilling or unable to put in the right kind of effort to advance themselves always blame "the system" or "the man" for their own lack...
When my wife and I were out at lunch today we were chatting about the series Fargo. We've been binge watching it on Netflix. Part of the first season takes place in Duluth, MN and it is depicted as a fairly small town and visually I'd have it at about 5000 people. I thought it was bigger. Easy...
Actually it was based on a John Varley short story, "Air Raid", and he wrote the screenplay too. The movie was played straight with no winking and nudging, although that might have helped the average movie goer catch on to what was happening.
In the 1989 movie Millennium Kris Kristofferson's character keeps meeting Cheryl Ladd's character, a time traveler from 1000 years in the future. The problem is that she time travels several times and pops into his life in a non-limear manner. In other words, the first time he meets her (in his...
But is the "you" who returned from the future to the present, presumably just after you left the present, the same "you" you would have been if you hadn't timetraveled? Did you lose all your memories of being in the future and is the current "you" the same age as before you left or older by the...
Or, there are an infinite number of parallel time lines, each the result of the decisions everyone makes every minute, and by going back in time and placing that winning bet you initiate yet another timeline. Otherwise, all actions are predestined and we have only the illusion of free will.
You may just be on to something, Lizzie.
A few years ago a new shopping mall opened up near us. The first few times we went over there I noticed a number of 20-something female shoppers who were quite fashionably dressed, tall, in heels, perfectly made up, carrying store shopping bags and going...
