when is this? we could do a thing

Week after Thanksgiving. I get in on the 29th. Though from that day till Friday evening I am busy. Its a networking trip through my grad school so I am meeting with the Clinton Foundation and the UN and such. For jobs and internship stuff. I think Friday evening I am meeting Tyrannus for beers or so is the basic plan atm.

yeah, weekends are best for getting folks together around these parts
well, we could crash your beer-getting plans or offer to hang out Saturday if you are not teh busy then
it is always cool showing visitors a good time in NYC

What's the prob?

In Java I have to add things to a vector using enumerations and then use a for each loop to get them back out. Except the vector has to be an Object type and each enumeration is its own thing so I get an incompatible types error from the compiler because the vector is an Object type and the enumerations are whatever type they're named when I make them.

Well, Java is always about 50% more of a pain in the ass than other languages because it's extremely verbose and deliberate. That makes it a favorite of businesses.

But if you're having that hard of a time, your design is probably terrible.

I just signed up to take the Police Dept. physical and written test.

Kinda scary.

What's the physical exam like? I mean, what kind of shape are cops supposed to be in?

This is the one for Florida State Troopers: http://beatrooper.com/PAT.htm

Members of the Police Department administer the Police Officers Physical Abilities Test (POPAT with oversight by the Civil Service Commission. This test is administered prior to the written test. Both the POPAT and written exam are required to be given at least once a year, but can be given more often based on the need to fill vacancies. This test is designed to test your physical ability to perform the essential job functions of a patrol officer to include the pursuing and subduing of a fleeing adult male suspect. The test requires you to complete the following stations:
A mobility and agility run for a distance of 440 yards. Requires completion of six laps through a figure-eight mobility course. Requires running up and down a five-step stairway, sharp turns, adjustment of stride lengths over 18 obstacles, and jumps of short distances


Pushing and pulling 80 pounds of resistance on a power training machine


Performing squat thrusts and climbing over a three-foot vault rail


Lifting and carrying 80 pounds for 50 feet


Trigger pull of a handgun to test grip strength. Requires pulling the trigger of a standard issue 9MM semi automatic handgun a total of 12 times with strong and weak hand in 15 seconds.

I'm not in good or bad shape.

I think I can pass this test.

a) With your gun out.
b) With your penis out.
c) With your gun and your penis out.
d) Check to see if she's hot, then take your penis out.
e) Ask her to step out of the car, pat her down for "drugs," and then take your penis out.
f) Shoot her and then take your penis out.
g) Tell her you'll arrest her unless she takes your penis out.
h) Arrest her but take her to a secluded clearing in the middle of the forest and make her sing old campfire songs at gunpoint, with your penis out.
i) All of the above.

Also, I am pushy about having people get together and hang out and stuff
I do think that helps keep the group a little more connected

I was actually thinking of renting one of those storage sheds in NYC and just keeping a bunch of PAers in there for when we need them.

My whole lasso thing was a metaphor -- oh, too late.

this is Drez we're talking about here
he is incapable of being not-creepy
which is one of his charms

Duh it's probably terrible.

I'm going to read the dumb book, but the vector absolutely has to be an Object and the enumerations have to be named that. I don't understand why it makes a fuss when these enumerations are supposed to be subclasses of the Object class.
