I had no idea leg extension surgery was a thing that could happen.

VanguardBut now the dream is over. And the insect is awake.Registered User, __BANNED USERSregular
I'm thinking of doing a giveaway for my 1/year anniversary / 100th post on my blog. I'm thinking of giving away a copy of the Burning Wheel Gold rulebook. But I want it to be more than just a "sign up for a chance to win this book".
Maybe something like, submit a monster/magic item/plot hook and send the one I like the most the book. IDK

I mean, I don't think I look that slavic, but I've had people just straight-up assume I was from Bulgaria or Russia, interrupted only by my Canadian accent. Even Russian immigrants. It's strange.

I think becoming an actuary is the traditional "selling out" path from physics and maths. Sadly, the economy had collapsed by the time I was job hunting and they'd started interviewing rather than just nodding at your qualification and giving you a bushel of cash.
It's not really selling out if there's an interview process.

Do you know that I don't actually know what your background is, @ronya.
And actually, it now occurs to me that 99% of the rest of the forum doesn't talk about theirs as much as I do mine. (Though I'm sure a lot of that has to do with presumably a good part of the forum consisting of WASPs.)
pfffft
bitch please, i'm far more interesting than that

I "interviewed" for my job. It was basically sitting down with someone for 10 minutes. They saw I had a pulse, they gave me a call back. Selling out?

Also, you haven't lived until you have seen an actuary fight.
"As you can see here, we have used the industry standard .30% discount rate"
"I don't think that any credible actuary in the WORLD would use a rate that high!"
"Well, this is our practice, what do you use?"
"We think .27%"
"In all my years, i have never seen a rate that low! If you're not going to talk in good faith, then we're done here."
Then they kiss

Yeah I think I missed the boat for getting into the well paying IT roles, instead choosing to follow some stupid childhood dream.
Childhood me tried to leap a six foot wide hole on a tricycle, why I listened to that idiot I'll never know.

Yes. All the scantily-clad young co-eds are breaking down the doors of the College of Actuarial Studies.
If you were an actuary, you'd know the odds of that happening.
100%
I'm a social science major, so I like to think conceptually instead of quantitatively. Imagine a Venn diagram. One circle is titled "Co-eds who have a liberated notion of the social norms surrounding low-cut jeans and their attendant proprieties." The other is entitled "People interested in becoming an actuary."
And now imagine the Marianas Trench inbetween these two circles.

What a great show that was. Man kids today are getting screwed over even on inferior PBS shows. Dora the Explorer? Please.
School is really the only place I can get Work done. Everywhere else is too distracting. I basically lock myself in an empty classroom and don't emerge until I've pooped out enough words to meet the paper's quota.
I had no idea leg extension surgery was a thing that could happen.
is this cosmetic or necessary? I know a guy who needed it done when he was younger and there was years of pain and pretty bad scarring afterwards
Guy in H&A has decided he wants more opinions on whether to do it. I was unaware of it.
I just can't fathom how it would work. You'd need artificial bone and I've been to seminars on how fucking difficult that is to achieve.
the guy I know who had it done had needles put into his leg that stretched it out and forced the muscles and stuff to grow longer too
or something along those lines
pretty sure whatever he had done would have only worked when he was growing anyway
My best friend growing up had that same thing done every couple of years since he was 7 because of him being in a boat explosion. Every couple of years he would have a bar inserted and the leg broken so it could stretch and mend to allow it to grow. His little brother wound up losing his foot and a bit of his calf from the same accident.

Impossible! Which is why instead we put a bunch of pins in your legs and then induce fractures on the bones and force them to grow to bridge the gap.
It is even more painful then it sounds apparently!
Sorry, we need to bring out the thermobaric missiles before the contagion leaves the lab.
