That's why "Hiroshima" is now a unit. We're lucky "Tsar Bomba" isn't.

No, I literally drive a school bus. I like the gig, but as a manager he is making something like eight times what I make (and probably a lot more than that).

I had a boss who had a net worth around $10 million (I knew because he had hired me to trade S&P500 futures for him and he gave me access to his brokerage accounts as part of this). He owned a house, nice cars, and a temp agency that gave him an income around $25,000 per month, in a southern city where the cost of living was very low. By any normal standard he was living in the lap of luxury, but his best friends were all west coast vulture capitalists who were worth hundreds of millions and my boss' jealousy of them just absolutely ate him up inside (this was the whole reason he was getting into futures trading in the first place).

Also, a lot of them like to rape children, and that shit can get pretty expensive.

I'm currently reviving a personal iOS project that I last worked on almost 10 years ago. At the time, I was working under a (much younger) tech lead who was a firm advocate of the "all comments are bad" philosophy and reported me to management as being technically incompetent because I commented my code. Thank god I'm technically incompetent because there's no fucking way I could be making any sense of my 10-year-old code without those comments.

Somebody here is probably going to reply that nobody literally thinks all comments are bad, but I assure that you such people do exist in this profession.

FWIW trump isn't really religious, of course.

Lol I haven't coded on paper first since I started programming ... in the '70s on my friend's Commodore-20.

During the last two years of Clinton's presidency, we had an actual fucking budget surplus. We could have been debt-free as a nation now, instead of sitting on nearly $40 trillion owed.

This makes physics a lot more approachable for people who know nothing, but then completely confuses people with only a little knowledge.

My favorite example of this is the use of "stress" and "strain". In common language they're synonyms, but in Physics they're definitely not.
