I love how several of you are anti-kid. The more anti-kid you are, the bigger a goofy parent you're going to be.
Sure some people genuinely never want children. The number of people that profess this is rather a lot smaller than the number of people who go through with it their entire lives.
Trust me, hit your 30's, and then we'll talk again. You'd probably rather show me pictures of your offspring by then though.
i am getting a vasectomy in a month
not because i am against the idea of having children entirely, mind you
i am just against the idea of me producing genetic offspring
my genes are terrible
i'm an evolutionary dead end
i should not be cursing the world and young children with my terrible DNA
now, adoption?
okay, i can see that, at some future point
but my own genetic offspring? No.
god bless you, pony
more people should follow your example
people are raised by wandering fathers and mothers that have kids in between every bong rip and they wonder why the world is fucking stupid
AH'M A GOOD MAM I LUUV MAH KIDS *tooth falls out*

What exactly does bangercore consist of? I heard the single heartbeats and a mix they did of an Anoraak song but I wouldn't describe them as bangers personally but my personal definition could be way off.
Mega-hard four to the floor, huge snare on two and four, fast hats, massive (usually triangle) bass often bitcrushed or distorted, trebly two or four bar lead line, inane lyrics. Think MSTRKRFT, Bloody Beetroots, GRUM, Le Caste Vania, Boyz Noize, etc.
Yeah, i know the drop down in the print tab, but due to the retardedness of trying to put landscape excel files in word, I would have to put multiple pdfs together into one glorious one.
I think i will be "printing" this off as a .pdf via word before I take it to the printshop. Would you happen to know a way to compile pdfs in OSX? for free?
I hate having to reassemble documents.
Open/NeoOffice.
There's a couple of free "fake printer" things too, but they generate monstrously huge files.
CutePDF is the standard for this. I can't recall much of an issue with the size of files it creates...
CutePDF I have no experience with. Generally the things that are pretend postscript printer drivers are the things that generate the gigantic files.

None of that has to do with genes.

What does that? can preview handle that?
preview I don't think would.
now you could make your PDFs, then insert them (insert image?) into your overall word doc, then print that to pdf...
lotsa steps, but it should stay clean.

Lud I'm not really anti kid, I'm anti everyone else having a kid. It's one of my rules when I become a dictator.
When I become dictator I am going to allow scientists to do human testing. We need to get to the future, damn it, and it will be a hell of a lot quicker that way.

Ugh. my markers are going to have a field day when they reach the end of this report. Im so fucking done that I can't think of regular words. Only obtuse flowery synonyms that i spell atrociously.
people who are deadset against ever having children ever tend to just be sorta self-absorbed folk at this stage in their life, and often grow out of it
ain't nothing wrong with them, as people, they are just sorta overly concerned with themselves and don't really see there being a point in their life where they aren't too busy with their oh-so-important lives to care for a child
however
people who hate the idea of anyone having children, and look down on "breeders" and other folk who have kids
those people are just misanthropes
and misanthropes are sad and pathetic
i look down on them, cluck my tongue, and hope one day they will learn to love their species
Is this too dense to go in a cover letter? (Yes, I think...)
What should I trim?
I am currently working for the Department of Energy’s Environmental Management program, doing economic analysis and data management for the Office of Cost Estimation and Analysis. In addition to our office’s traditional cost estimation work, I have had to opportunity to research and apply economic and statistical approaches to provide more accurate cost estimates and support contract negotiations. I have also worked with a team of consultants to create a cost capture database so that in the future, a sample of actual costs can be used to produce more accurate cost estimates.
Beyond the simple analysis of price escalation for existing contracts, one of my responsibilities has been developing new forecasting techniques for commodity and price escalation for the purpose of program planning and contract negotiation, and for the creation of standard escalation indices. My use of a sophisticated multivariate time-series approach has proven more accurate than commercial escalation indexes in capturing and predicting commodity trends, and allows for application in dynamic, project specific instances. This was done with a free, open source statistical environment, R. Given recent price instabilities, an accurate picture of cost escalation is instrumental in creating accurate cost estimates and models.
In addition to improving price escalation strategies for contracting and planning purposes, I have worked to improve the quality of our baseline cost estimates. Working in an interdisciplinary team, we developed the Environmental Cost Analysis System (ECAS) database to capture historical costs for the Department of Energy's Environmental Management program. With the database structure created and finalized, I have reviewed the database design and reports for usability, and overseen contractor efforts in data collection and analysis. As a DOE representative, I oversaw the training of contractors by the ECAS team, for manipulating accounting and waste data from historical projects, to ensure accurate input into the ECAS database.

I like kids. I really do. However, I have a lot of resentment towards parents who believe that the world should stop spinning on its axis and kowtow to their needs just because they were able to get their gonads to rub together long enough to spawn. If people want to make the lifestyle choice to have kids, that's fine. But when those kids make noise on airplanes or in movie theaters or distract their parents while driving leading them to nearly run me off the road or when coworkers insist on leaving early and coming in late every day so they can drive their kids to and from daycare or otherwise act like that lifestyle choice gives them special privileges in life, I get extremely irritated.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

this is pretty arrogant
it's a tendency.
it's not universally true of all people who don't want children
but the fact is a lot of people who say I DON'T WANT CHILDREN EVER a) tend to grow out of it and b) their motivations are based entirely around self-interest, not any larger principle.
if you actually pick at someone's reasoning for not ever wanting children, nine times out of ten their reasoning will be based around their career, their appearance, their social life, or some other aspect of how their life functions right now (or how they want it to function) that is entirely about themselves and their happiness.
for example, if someone says "I don't ever want children because I can't reasonably provide real care for a child, given my jet-setting lifestyle of a professional model"
well, there you go
you are deciding to put your current career and lifestyle ahead of ever caring for a child.
there's certainly selfless reasons to say "I am the sort of person and/or lead the sort of lifestyle to which child-raising would not be functional and may in fact be harmful to the child"
but the reality is
the majority of the people who say "I don't ever want kids!"
