In a comic I read regularly, one of the characters made a comment about having an electrical engineering degree from Stanford but that the opportunities just aren't there like they used to be, so he's going back to community college for something else ( Read more... )

I've noticed this myself with the ice cubes in the fridge and use warm water in the trays as a result even though I've had some people tell me I'm crazy, but I'd never bothered to look it up and sometimes wondered if I *was* imagining it since I have no practical way to test it ( Read more... )

So, I finished my electrical program at Moore Norman Technology Center and at the same time (thanks to a few credits from Rose State and the additional classes I took while at Moore Norman) finished my Associates degree in applied science. My name was even one of the few mentioned in a small article in the Daily Oklahoman. I'm a dork and so I saved ( Read more... )

He got stuck six times in my sister's truck before the final 7th time when it finally refused to start ( Read more... )

So... Watched Order of the Phoenix sometime ago and heard "Abracadabra" instead of "Avada Kedavra" and thought it was interesting that Rowling chose wording for a killing spell that was similar to a spell that was meant to cure but couldn't remember specifics other than the triangle "dissappearing as this word" and the nine day aspect so I decided ( Read more... )

Ok, so... a week and a half ago my temporary cap for my root-canal'd tooth popped off after only a few days and I had to go back to have it replaced. Luckily for me though, my permanent one had come in, so they put that on and I'm done! And it looks and feels like a real tooth! Cool. I really thought it was going to be metal ( Read more... )
