Sunday sales bill passed the House! So, next target: Chick-fil-A http://ping.fm/ofcsS
-
@timdorr Sunday sales: yes. Chik-fil-A's discrimination? No.
-
@jasonriedy I feel bad about eating their food, but it's so damn good :(
-
@jasonriedy But on the other hand, they have no NYC locations, so at least I don't do it frequently
-
@teferi We're raising our own meat chickens at this point, so a double-whammy on them.
-
@jasonriedy I think that's still illegal here. And even if it weren't...eeeew. Chickens are smelly. You're a braver man than I.
-
@teferi 8 egg hens, 1 rooster, 20 meat chicks w/2 weeks left, 15 w/8 weeks left... In #EastPointGA, within the perimeter of !Atlanta. :)
-
@jasonriedy What did chik-fil-a do?
-
@joshix 'Cathy says Chick-fil-A operates its business on Biblical principles but "is not a Christian company."' http://ur1.ca/3u6qo

@joshix If you're gonna factory farm genetic mutants, don't claim the high road. Or any road lined with shit that deep.

@jasonriedy Hm. Closed on sunday, etc. Had no idea. I think I ate at one once in D.C. Or was that a kenny rogers? I dunno.
-
@joshix It's more the serving shit through all head orifices (ears, eyes, mouth) that sets me off.
-
@jasonriedy I'm sure there'll be some mistakes ... though hopefully I won't notice them because I'll NEVER LOOK AT IT AGAIN.
-
@teferi yes, but they are also stupid & evil, making them, unlike many barnyard cuties, pretty fun to kill.

@michaeltwofish Yes, you will. If not from Europe, a thesis should become 1-2 journal articles and maybe a few conference papers.
-
@jasonriedy ... if you want an academic career.
-
@michaeltwofish Why the hell else would you do a phd?

@joshix Fuckin' rooster is trying to attack me through the pen wall. Recently re-named him Stewie, short for stew meat.

@joshix I'm sure we've been through this before.

@joshix "Not that I actually wanted to do a PhD, but the powers that be had made clear I had to do it if I wanted to keep my job."
-
@michaeltwofish I now supervise thesis folk, and one aspect is beating the "it must be great" out of them. It must exist suffices.
-
@michaeltwofish I'm not saying that "great" is bad, but it happens when it happens. Most theses are forgotten.

@joshix Job security, if you have experience with a platform of "national interest."
-
@jasonriedy Thank jeebus I'm only really interested in making race cars go faster... than the race car in 2nd place.
-
@joshix You think NASCAR's not of national interest? sheesh.
-
@jasonriedy Maybe then I'm just lucky to be dumb enough that my work isn't very interesting. I'll take it.
-
@michaeltwofish I think I kinda get it.
-
@joshix Heh. This is a Cray we're talking about. Same criteria (faster than 2nd), different industry.
