Wonder if average length/width of shoes of a given person is large-enough to have one shoe fit snuggly, while requiring 25 minutes to put the other one on.

If the shoe fits.

Don't forget the guy in Best in Show with two left feet.

 

[WWGD]

Maybe I just need to wear them for a few consecutive days, to break them in.

You will walk in clockwise circles.

Some crazy guy suggested I put the shoe on the microwave " So the leather will expand".

Hows your DNS working ?

Hows your DNS working ?

This happens sometimes when the Cache is too full.

This happens sometimes when the Cache is too full.

It helps forgetting the network you're using and flushing out the dns cache . You can do it in the Windows command line:
ipconfig/flushdns

HI, thanks for the feedback. That's not a "Random" thumbs up by the way.

I was just reading an old review/student evaluation from my days as an adjunct:" Does not follow a Class Plan ".

It reminds me of a Mike Tyson quote:" Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face ". You have a plan, but all sorts of things happen in class that derail it, so you improvise a solution. Seems foolish to follow a plan for the plan's sake.

Exactly! this works on so many levels.

Ah, the thrill yesterday of putting( forcing) my shoes on. And today, the agony of de feet( yarg!).

Interviewing for an internship related to computational modelling... they send me a 30 page research paper at 11pm and ask for a report on it by - wait for it - 6pm tomorrow.

Sounds like something Google would do in their interviewing process...

I've received Zoon interview requests from morning to the afternoon of the same day.

Wow, first day in ages that I haven't had any caffeine. I remember reading that water treatment plants in many places register a non-trivial presence of caffeine in their reserves. Would be interesting to conduct a poll here in PF on the matter.
It brings up the issue of percentages in daily life.

Any withdrawal symptoms?

 

[WWGD]

Any withdrawal symptoms?

Three large naps. Had the day off from work. Nothing else I'm aware of, so far. But will check in with my dealer, the corner deli, tomorrow morning for my hit. One day's enough.
Edit: I bet I would have more symptoms after a few days. Won't try it.

Some utilities are metered like water and electricity. Others, such as sewage, are charged at a flat rate, regardless of consumption. The internet is like a sewer.

 

[Keith_McClary]

That's nearly reassuring.

Best thing about the Internet: It gives everybody a voice.

Worse thing about the Internet: It gives everybody a voice.

I have only basil and absolutely no idea how much coffee it drinks over the day when I'm not looking.

I had a friend who flew out the day before a job interview. A couple of the employees took him out to dinner, which involved cocktails, wine with the food, then after dinner drinks. Around 11 PM they told him he was to give a presentation "to the senior staff" at 9 AM the next morning. He did get the job.

Wonder if it's really necessary to enter your email to unsubscribe from some email feed or they just want to verify yours is an actual email account.

Nope, got it done though.

Modern witchcraft? Google has an 'Undo' feature for sent emails (I think it lasts just a few seconds, though).

Microsoft Outlook can also do this (with no time limit) but I think it works only for internal Outlook-to-Outlook emails within an organisation, and it happens only after the recipient has logged into Outlook but before they have read the message. (It's called "recall" rather than "undo".)

Is Outlook the company that owns Hotmail? Never figured out the connection between the two.
