    Introduce Yourself!

    I ran out of Vicodin two days ago. This makes me sad. Luckily Advil is all I need now... though I do miss the buzz.

    Rant VI: Now Drama Free

    I would like to kindly request that the portion of my professional certification board that is responsible for reviewing education and credentials for initial certification please gather at the end of the nearest pier and collectively jump. I got rejected for the first part of...

    Please HELP - money stolen from my bank account

    https://www.checkingfinder.com/ Heard about this site on a financial talk radio show (yeah, that's how I roll). It found me a no-fee, interest-paying checking account with a local bank that I couldn't be happier with. Also, if you have any family members that were in the military, you might...

    Holy shit, where was this when I was doing my MS thesis? I wouldn't have had to struggle with the damned EXCEL STATISTICS ADDON. (Seriously, don't ask). Anyway, yeah, heavy use of C and assembly for data collection, Fortran77/Matlab/Excel for aggregation and analysis, and GEANT for Monte Carlo...

    Mobile Forum

    I switched to Mobile style myself to try it out on my iPod - now that I'm back on my laptop I can't seem to find a way to revert to the default style. Am I missing something? -Laep

    Introduce Yourself!

    Awesome. Did you make that just for me? ---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ---------- You're assuming it's a uranium bomb. I see nothing in the original description that tells me whether it's a uranium or plutonium bomb. Uranium bombs don't even...

    Introduce Yourself!

    Married, two kids, and I'd do it all over again. I'd love to get GasBandit and Krisken in a room to see if/when they'd make out. I think I'd also like to meet DarkAudit (or perhaps already have, as I spent way too many nights of my undergraduate education wandering drunk down High Street in...

    Introduce Yourself!

    It's pronounced "Laype". It's abbreviated from my old Everquest handle, a ranger named Laeplacaen Opperatur. Seeing as I was a grad student in physics at the time and my roommates' names were Hameeltonean and Shrodingeer, it kind of made sense. My company currently has a pending bid to...

    Introduce Yourself!

    Laparascopic, though with a larger-than-normal working incision. Apparently at age 29 I've managed to acquire the gallbladder of an 85 year old man who's eaten nothing but buffalo wings and sausage gravy his whole life. The op was yesterday and I can sort of move around today - but I won't be...

    Introduce Yourself!

    Hah. Thanks. At the moment, I actually walk with a cane, too. WILL THE SIMILARITIES NEVER END? Right now I wouldn't mind Claire Bennet's ability, assuming it hasn't changed since halfway through Heroes Season 2 when I stopped watching due to boredom. Any other day though I think I'd take...

    Introduce Yourself!

    Favorite movie has to be Memento. It makes more sense when you're high. As for work, I'm a diagnostic medical physicist, which sounds more glamorous than it is. Basically, I'm the guy whose job it is to make sure the x-ray machines, CT scanners, and mammography machines are working like they...

    Introduce Yourself!

    Hello HalForumItes. Name's Laep. Actually, the name's Nick, but you know the drill. I'm normally too shy to delurk, but since I'm under the influence of vicodin as I recover from having my gallbladder removed, I figured I'd pop my head in and introduce myself. I've been hanging around as a...
