    Random Thoughts
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the splitting of larger threads to alleviate server load, specifically continuing the Random Thoughts thread. Participants express their thoughts on various topics, including the emotional impact of the game Bioshock: Infinite, which one user describes as "haunting." They discuss the game's cover art, noting the absence of the female co-lead, Elizabeth, from the front cover, and reference an interview with Ken Levine that suggests this was a marketing compromise. The conversation shifts to personal anecdotes, including family dynamics and humorous observations about everyday life, such as experiences at McDonald's and the challenges of parenting toddlers. The thread features a blend of light-hearted banter, reflections on gaming, and casual storytelling, highlighting the community's camaraderie.

I did calculus in my dreams once*, the math made sense while I was dreaming but when I woke up I remembered integrating a bench into something**.
*calculating gravitational jerk in relativistic terms with j as a variable...I couldn't make sense of the math even when I was awake (high school)...mmm, I should throw it at mathematica perhaps. I need to practice using mathematica.
**no, it wasn't a tree.
Edit: Or a floating log bench.

... I started a thread about them and dreamt I was checking replies to the thread. I kept scrolling up and down and couldn't make out any of the replies. I just had a vague impression of what they said.
Now that's what I call being a "True PFer". Maybe there should be a PF Member Dreamweaver Award.

Actually, I think I've only dreamt about PF about twice before in ten+ years. Maybe that's because I can't read in my dreams.

Worst day ever! Wasted the whole day working on a bad cell, turned out I missed one step in the cleaning process, which caused lots of defects. So do other cells. My work for one whole week went to garbage. My day didn't go as planned at all too. I got a violation ticket even though I have a parking permit, how did that parking nazi not see it? I walked down the street mumbling and almost crying saying the only thing that would make my day worse is falling on the ground cause of the slippery ice, and by the time I finished thinking that, I did fall. :cry::cry::cry:

Once they know you saved them money by fixing some piece of equipment, it gets added to the list of responsibilities on your job description.

"You are old, Father William," the young man said,
"And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head --
Do you think, at your age, it is right?

"In my youth," Father William replied to his son,
"I feared it might injure the brain;
But, now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
Why, I do it again and again."

Certainly. If you can save a pulp mill production manager 1% or a bit more in costs, you will be a hero, and he will expect you to keep coming back and examining the mill processes. Job security.
 
  • #3,024
Never do more at work than needed, not to be a damn showoff. Do what you have to and all good. For those, whose job it is to save someone's money, never save more than the average statistics show, otherwise you're digging your own grave :D

We asked the guy giving us training on project management how he got into it. He told us he used to be technical manager for a company that made huge volumes of some small widget, slightly customised on each run. There was something critically wrong with their processes, and a large number of batches were coming out defective. Our guy went to the MD and sketched out how he could trace and debug their processes and find out where the mess up was happening. The MD told him he was paid to be a technical manager and, if he wanted to carry on being one, he should shut up and get on with it. He shut up and started job hunting.
 
  • #3,026
The more experience of project managers you have, the more you will see the MD was betting with the odds in getting rid of a wannabe :devil:

Snake Handler Killed By Snake Bite

I guess whatever protection he was using failed as soon as the snake decided to bite :devil:.
That's probably 5000 hits and one miss, though. I know a guy who got bit the first time he ever picked a rattle snake up. Hehe.

I guess god didn't like him

Jamie Coots had said that he believed a poisonous snakebite would not harm believers as long as they are anointed by God

I cannot believe the junk National Geographic airs to get ratings. What scumbags. They air some of the worst psycho reality shows of all of the channels. Shameful.

Nah. We're just silly. :-p

I'm trying out for my high school's musical today. We had to pick a song from a musical written in the past 15 years, so (of course) I chose this. I think I have a pretty good chance of getting in. There are only about 5 other guys trying out, and I'm at least halfway decent. Their auditions will just be hilarious. :smile:
