I'm sensing a bit of sarcasm, OP.

I will be fulfilling my patriotic duty to spend my well earned greenbacks on trivialities to distract me from life's drudgery.

The only reason I ever went out on Black Friday was because I have insomnia, and it was nice to have somewhere to go at 3am instead of the usual staring at the ceiling and trying to sleep.

Don't lay in bed for more than 20 minutes at a time. If you're struggling, get out of the bedroom and read a book or do sudoku or w/e until you're actually tired. You need to learn to associate your bed with actually being asleep, not lying awake.

Eh, I'd usually move to the couch and listen to the BBC World service until 5 when my alarm went off. I have medication for it now, so it's pretty rare anymore.

I was going to go out and buy a sweet TV tomorrow, but the weatherman is calling for a quarter inch of ice by the time the stores open up. I don't want to die to save $200 on a TV!

Besides, a couple of years ago I wandered into Best Buy around 4am and picked up Seasons 1-4 of Breaking bad for like $30, so it wasn't like I was unproductive

We may have finally found unobtainium but I will never find eywa.

Is 8am a good time to show up at Target if they open at 6pm. I want a WiiU. Also reading about the crush zone or whatever is making double think duct-taping a ziplock bag to my leg to pee into.

I think 5am would be safest, and I wouldn't worry about the urine thing. There are going to be a lot of people straight up pissing where they stand, so it's not like you're going to avoid getting wet in any case. May as well be your own urine first, that's what I say.

drat man my school sucked compared to yours

in my high school robots were probably considered a sin in the eyes of the lord

I'm lucky to have a principal who thinks:

A. Kids need to understand and use technology. 10 of the 20 most in-demand jobs right now did not exist when my students were born. (Think about this. right now, the peak of cell phone technology is either the iPhone 6s or the Samsung Galaxy S6. A five-year-old today will grow up in a world where these cell phones are the worst pieces of crap they will ever use. When they are in college, they will post threads about lovely old technology and they will laugh at the old folks who used to think those phones were great.)

B. Science is a very important subject for kids to master and STEM (including robotics) will help kids develop an interest in science.


Part of the reason my principal is like this is, like only 1% of principals, he was a science teacher before going into admin. He also taught with me about 20 years ago, and encourages me, because he likes my style of teaching.

A man becomes preeminent, he's expected to have enthusiasms.

Enthusiasms, enthusiasms...
OP I don't know why you're so fagged off about Amazon drones since that means one more worker who can spend time with his family

Because he's out of a job
