Ya'll are being absurd. That kid new what he was doing, I did stupid shit like that when I his age...worse in fact, these days I would have made national headlines if I had been caught. So I know what I am talking about here.

He may be be a smart boy, but you put that briefcase in any Hollywood movie or video game and they would call it a bomb. If he was really building a clock it would at least somewhat really resemble a clock.

Bear in mind, I am a strong opponent of the rising police state and slow creep of tyranny that I hope is becoming obvious to even the more ignorant sections of the populace. But this...come on guys, call a spade a spade.

Stop with the Orwellian political correctness and teach kids the level they are capable of. End of story.

After spending all day in front of a screen, the last thing I want is another screen in my face when trying to relax with a good book at the end of the day.

Could be biased, I do most of my fishing in the Colorado rockies and have not had problems with worms there.

Even if they are not doing it, others certainly are for various reasons. I have always wondered what the true user count is.

I like that.

Doesn't anyone else find this to be a concern? I wonder how prevalent this is?

I have been practicing shaolin kung fu for 11 years, but I think most systems that incorporate a good 60 minutes of full body movement are going to do the trick. Surprised I am the first to post this as I have never found a more complete exercise system. Not to mention the internal aspects I have found to be extremely beneficial over the course of my life.

Yoga is pretty close, especially if you are doing ashtanga, brutal yoga!

Should be on Netflix as well.

I am 5 years into software development, 18 years in the tech industry overall. I have managed to get work at some great companies and have kept my salary close to or above 6 figures for much my career.

How? I worked my ass off. I cannot even really express the amount of time and effort I have put into my career. Especially once I switched gears and started software development full time. Even before that, I always put more time in my job than just about anyone else I knew. The downside is the effort has been detrimental to my health, I have hospitalized myself a few times due to the stress of working to much.

Should you get a degree? My opinion, based on what I have seen over the years, is that with a degree you do not need to work as hard to make as much. I am not implying that people with degrees do not work hard. Without a degree, you really need to bust your ass to make it to the upper salary ranges. Without a degree, many many doors will be closed to you, regardless of how skillful you may be with your craft.

If I had to do it over again, I would buckle down and get that degree. As much as I love what I do, and I truly do, the amount of time and effort it has take me to get this far, not to mention the health issues, it is just not something I would recommend for others.

On the other hand, if your are aspirations are a bit lower and you are just looking to make living...it is definitely possible to pursue this type of job without a degree and maybe even with a little less work than nuts like me.

We are going to let a computer make that decision? I don't think so.

So Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, “Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. “Then let our appearance be examined before you, and the appearance of the young men who eat the portion of the king’s delicacies; and as you see fit, so deal with your servants.” So he consented with them in this matter, and tested them ten days. And at the end of ten days their features appeared better and fatter in flesh than all the young men who ate the portion of the king’s delicacies. Thus the steward took away their portion of delicacies and the wine that they were to drink, and gave them vegetables.
