    I am amazed.

    Can you use Ctrl-B for Bold and Ctrl-I for Italics and such yet?

    Because not being able to do that was fucking annoying.
    No you cannot.

    I'm still using Chrome despite how much I hate that, though, because that is a small price to pay to avoid the "Firefox crashes randomly" problem I was having.

    Also it's just way faster.

    It's become a matter of principle for me.

    Sure, I could just hand-type my BB Code, but come on! This is basic stuff!
    Well okay then, but I hope you don't mind me saying that I think your principle is silly. :P

    Most principles are :P

    That article explains it pretty well: if the Euro dies (and it is close to dying), the EU dies with it, because the strongest link that is keeping it together right now is the common currency.

    I got the mo'fucking job!

    what job is it again?

    Computer Tech for a local networking company. I get an allowance towards a smart phone & data plan, and after 90 days it's 2 weeks paid vacation and 5 personal days.

    nice!

    what phone are you going to pick up?

    Good question! I've only ever had second-hand Blackberries and they failed in short order. What's a good, rugged smartphone that comes kinda cheap?

    Woo back to getting real stamps when you cross the border!


    Seriously that pissed me off.

    "Americans?" *waves us through customs*

    I demanded stamps.

    In retrospect, it was probably stupid of me... but my passport should reflect how awesome my life has been.
    My passport is a memento. I got France, Switzerland, England and Germany before they all EU'd, then France after EU-ing because Nickie wanted a stamp, since it was her first time out of the country. Italy... Italy didn't even have customs agents. We landed in Italy and just walked out of the airport, we thought we had missed a line and were going to get arrested or something.

    I've had a 1G and a 3GS and enjoyed both, but the only real work I do on them is email/web stuff

    Yeah, there's that, but that's people trying to score points in a game that doesn't exist. I think most people know enough to not take it personally.

    Whereas half the time the rest of the internet is actively trying to talk you into committing suicide. Especially if you like weird stuff.

    huh. that's pretty cool. the facility in andover does a lot more of the fabs and materials, and bedford did a little, so it's more likely that he worked at one of those. i did a little cruise missile work at a previous job, but am solely on radar duty at ratheon.

    It is unlikely that dick sucking will be involved, unless she has changed more in the last year than I'm expecting.

    ...on my part, at least. I suspect she will be doing some.
