Wow. Letting 16 year olds loose on the road with 0 experience is the worst thing I could possibly think of.

Worse than letting 14 year olds loose on the road with 0 experience?

I get the sense Shraeye was closer to 41 when he was 14.
You don't even know how right you are.  I have been preparing to be a crotchety old man since I was born.

I guess I need to work on my empathy skills.

One lady was opposed to eating at Chinese restaurants because they buy goats, and she has a friend with a pet goat. She told me that these restaurants will replace chicken with goat.

I tried to explain that goat is quite different from chicken. She said beef, then. Well, that's closer, but I still don't think that it would be an easy substitution. I mean, I have yet to find goat meat in any restaurant that wasn't still attached to the bone.

That's when she stormed off.

But seriously, every Indian restaurant I've been to serves goat meat still on the bone. And that is hard to get off there. I can't imagine a restaurant trying to pass goat off as beef. Seems cheaper to just use beef.

I'm Chinese.  Not sure if I've ever tried goat.  Is it like lamb?

Actually, "goat" and "sheep" are called the same thing in Chinese... hm.

I was trying to explain that I can't imagine a restaurant serving goat and passing it as chicken (I can kind of see beef). Apparently, it was a big deal to her that her friend has a pet goat, so talking about purposefully eating goat didn't sit well with her.

I hope she doesn't know anyone with a pot-bellied pig, because that's definitely not going to stop me from ordering bacon.

Still don't see why that should make you need to work on your empathy skills. To me, it sounds like she's just being way too empathic.

Have you seen some of the fan art of fusions?  Some are pretty great.  Here are two of my favourites.

I never realized that Bald Eagles actually sound adorable.  The piercing scream that they always use in movies and television is actually the cry of a red tailed hawk.

I had to program something for university and am now testing the program on quite a large instance. I started it like 10 hours ago andexpected it to take about 3500 iterations from the early results.
Well, now it's at 4646 and will probably need another 1000. it's 3 am and I want to go to bed, but probably won't be able to sleep with the noise the computer is making. :(

I've been awake since 1 AM and haven't been able to sleep for three hours despite still feeling awful from a cold.  What the hell, body?

I one read in a travel guide that while Chinese are quite liberal when it comes to eating habits, goat is not among their favourites. Have never seen goat meat in a Chinese restaurant either.

Hmm... well, this site disagrees.  I'm pretty sure I've had either lamb or sheep in a Chinese restaurant.  Just not sure which one, or maybe both.

Sure you have... They just called it something else like "beef" or "chicken" or "pork".

And I think that's what this one person was trying to claim, but I just can't see it. Seems like it'd be cheaper to buy chicken or pork in America than goat. And easier to work with, if my experience with goat meat in Indian buffets is any indication.

Maybe I just imagine goat meat to be scarcer and more expensive in America. It's nothing I've researched.

Thanks to my mum, I now have a new pet peeve - the news (and especially the weatherman) calling a day the "hottest day of the year so far".

We (in the northern hemisphere at least) start with the temperature near it's coldest, and from about March-August, the average temperature should be increasing. So likely the majority, or at least a large number, of days in that period will be the 'hottest day so far'.

Lives downtown so he can be less than 2 miles from work and avoid rush hour traffic.

Agrees to be in a show with nightly rehearsals 20 miles from home.

I sometimes question the sharpness of this crayon.

I just realized that the question "What is the square root of 16?" is really misleadingly worded.

Yes. "What is a square root of 16" or "What are the square roots of 16" are more correct questions.
