-
Jacksonville, Fl ...
I was in Savannah 2 weeks ago ...
-
Ah cool, Jacksonville is great.. Right close to My favorite city in the world, St. Augustine. God I love that touristy shit hole.. (not sarcasm, I genuinely love that place.)
-
I live in the pacific nw. If I were any more northwestern, I would be living with the vampires and werewolves. I kind of live by Olympia, WA.
-
*gasp*
I'm a bit south of Portland.
-
Ahhh, we have a (kinda) match ...
-
How far south? I may be visiting a super magnet manufacturer, well actually they manufacture the equipment that manufactures super magnets (http://www.oersted.com/ (http://www.oersted.com/)) in Portland sometime this summer. The company I work for wrote the code that controls some of their equipment several years ago.
They have magnets there that are dangerous to even be in the same room with.
-
Work for?
-
Well work with, I used to work for but now I'm more of a self employed sub contractor.
-
Ahhh ...
-
Nick's gonna be up in the Pacific Northwest in a few weeks I thinks...
-
Who's that?
-
He already left....
-
bugger
-
... he can't; he left
-
bugger
-
... he can't; he left
-
I'm in Portland. I'll hang out, but only if you provide whiskey and weed.
-
Brandt can't watch, though, or he has to pay a hundred.
-
I was in Portland over July 4th weekend. Great beer.
-
... and hilarity didn't ensue with any west-coasters?
... for shame, man .... for shame!
-
Yeah Nick, shame! Did you at least get a Voodoo doughnut?
-
nah, I did eat from the food cart and it sucked.
Highlights: scenery, breweries.
-
Mmmmmm, voodoo doughnut .......................
..........................................

-
I just had a VoodooDoughnut the other night. Awesome stuff. Drinking a Scuttlebutt Porter as I type this.
-
Next time I'm at World Market I'm snagging a Voodoo Doughnut ...
... or the next time the girl's naked; either one will do
-
You know that not _everything_ is a euphemism for anal sex, right?
Also: top pot donuts in Seattle is better'n voodoo. And one does not have to stand in a blocks long line of tourists.
-
Hampson's butcher shop in Hayle is the same way. Better pasties than Philp's, none of the tourists.
-
Lucky, you know Voodoo Doughnut is a beer, right?
Nimrod...
-
I haven't tried that one. I can't wrap my head around a beer in a bright pink bottle - in my imagination it's a beer that tastes like those frosted pink circus animal cookies. I like their Rogue Farms line - both in principle and in practice.
-
Uhm, "Voodoo Doughnut" IS, in fact, slang for an asshole ...
So is "Devil's Onion Ring" for that matter ...
-

Actually the beer is based on a Maple and bacon doughnut from of course, Voodoo Doughnuts. (actually it's just a maple bar with bacon on top)

-
Ok so it's a beer, a confection and an asshole.
So Nick, did you have a Voodoo Doughnut while you were in Portland?
-
Ahhhh, a good (possibly loaded) question ....

Well awareness is an important facility.

Wow, you guys are so hip and 1998.

I wish I was 1998 again... I'd be just turning 30.
-
I'm glad it's not 1998 again. 16 year old me was an idiot.
-
16 year old ANY OF US was an idiot ...
-
Amen to that
-

-
16 year old me wasn't bad. I spent most of my time outside and had mastered a low effort/high reward approach to school.
It was the 19-25 or so me that was the peak of me being a tool.
-
I wish 16 year old me had a clue about that approach.
I was master of the no effort / no reward method of schooling.
The only class I had any interest in was science. Yet a year or so later I had started to catch on. But I was already in the military by then. I had to get completely away from everyone I knew and grew up with to enable a change of perspective.

This (without the military stuff).
-
So probably no Daniel Stern voiceover either?
-
I don't think 16 year old me was an idiot but I had very poor self esteem.
Most likely in 5-10 years time I'll look back at now and think actually I was an idiot the entire time.
-
It happens.
-
It's true ...
-
So true.

I was actually just having this conversation with some friends. We were all fuck ups in high school and immediately after of one sort or another. Basically, we were all smart, fidgity kids uninterested in what school was about. Later in life (mid to late 20's) we all figured out some difficult,t skill or niche to excel in.
Man, I wish this country had a tracked school system that included vocational education and a broader introduction to actual types of work. There are a lot of kids smart enough and interested enough in manipulating real objects to staff every high tech machine shop in this country. But the college focused, suburban school system is turning them all into dissatisfied engineers with silly hobbies. Cos better a tie than grime under your nails.
-
I certainly agree with that assessment - most engineers I went to school with and have worked with ended up disappointed in what the job actually is. So they start up maker's spaces and learn to weld or buy surplus machine shop equipment and build stuff in their garage.
When I quit my job at a consulting place and went to work for a small OEM where I actually get to put my hands on what we build, the partner nearing retirement age I had my interview with told me he wished he'd done that when he was young. The only engineers I know who like their jobs either wanted to end up in management/marketing/doing nothing anyway, or are at places where they get to straddle the hands on/numbers side of things.
-
I agree as well, students should be allowed to specialize instead of being forced through the full curriculum designed to milk tax payers regardless of how the student turns out.
The whole college incentive I never had any chance at, my parents were dirt poor.
I don't think there is a single thing I was supposed to learn back in the day that had/has any real value. Everything that makes me who I am I've learned on my own.
-
I was a fuck up in high school.
Then I joined the Marines.
Then I got out and went back to being a fuck up.
Then I moved to Portland.
Nobody here seems to care that I'm a fuck up.
I finally fit in.

I'm 'aight ...
