The weather is killing me.
I just went to get some stuff from the supermarket. Apparently the woman that had collapsed (ironicaly next to the ice cream) was already the third one today.
 
Rob me once, shame on you, rob me twice, shame on me.

Needless to say, I no longer work for Domino's. My next summer job will be something safer than pizza delivery.

Damn, Unlucky, Maybe a Gun Shop?

Probably not, but that was a great Darwin award, and according to Snopes, true, though slightly embellished.

This is the second summer in a row that I've lost/quit my job midway through (although, this summer, unlike last, I have two jobs, and I have lost the second one yet).

Man, I need a vacation. :dry:
 
Wow, you got robbed again?

Yup. I'm actually fairly happy about it this time, considering that I wasn't injured, and it put an end to all the soul searching as to whether I should quit or not. I had decided to keep working just because I didn't want to be controlled by fear, but I was feeling fairly miserable doing so. I had decided, though, that if I ever got robbed again I would quit immediately, no questions asked. And since that's what happened, I'm rid of that job (which wasn't something I would have wanted to be rid of if I hadn't gotten robbed the first time).

My manager mentioned that only one person had been robbed before me in the time she'd been there...

Code:
char buff[255];
    sprintf(buff, "%.6f", pow(64, 1.0/3.0));
    std::cout << "n" << buff;
    if (pow(64, 1.0/3.0)==4)
        std::cout << "nI am an idiot";
    if (1.0 == 1)
       std::cout << "nTEST";

Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{ cout<<(4.0-(pow(64, 1.0/3.0)))<<'n'; }

output:
Code:

And the reason is that 1/3 can't be represented in binary (or even finite decimal for that purpose). You hardly ever want to compare floating point values exactly. Instead it's typical to see if their difference is less than some "epsilon" error you are willing to tolerate.

Just by pure luck I saw what I consider the coolest woman this side of the universe last weekend: Roisin Murphy, former singer of Moloko. What a great voice and what a creative performer she is. Mind blowing! Heck, why didn't I hear of her sooner?

I think I have fallen in love! :wub:

Nice! She's very hot. :beach:
 
She is not triggering my antenna, but I always liked moloko's music, now you are saying she her own art?! great!

*snip*

Go out and get her! Hell, I mean, if an ordinary Tasmanian named Mary can become the crown princess of DENMARK by being in a bar at the right time, and chatting up the right guy, you may just have a chance!

Well, Ford, you've got no competition there.

Good luck getting past the... oh, no, you lucky bastard, she's not married.
 
Warning: A Rant About The Real World

I hate my government.

The more I work for my money, the more they take it away from me. Why do we tax more on those that work harder every day, those that put in the extra hours to survive?

The more money I save to pay my already large college bills, the less financial aid I receive, thus even larger college bills.

I feel that if I didn't work at all, the cheaper college would be. I feel all the work I put in, and all the money I saved, was in vain, and has done more trouble than good.

What's the point? This has been a huge setback.

My mother always used to say: "Imagine what's it like in the real world."

Looking back, is this what she meant?

I went to the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney last Friday. Highlights were:

- the space exhibit generally (of course).
- the life size F-1 engine (I haven't been able to find out if it is just a model or the real thing).
- the building/architecture (it is built in and around the old Ultimo Power Station - lots of local history there).
 
Int'resting. I was browsing Wikipedia, and apparently the US military is still giving out the purple hearts it manufactured in WWII in anticipation of the invasion of Japan. They expected 500,000 wounded and killed in the first 90 days, should an invasion be necessary, so they made 500,000 purple hearts. By 2003, there were still 120,000 left.

So it's August of 2008, and the US military still hasn't suffered all the casualties it expected to suffer by January of 1946.
