It a computer vision paper doing probability graphical model shit, and I've never really studied that.  Basically I lack the background.

You made me Googl,  sounds  fun. I think you said your research spectrum is stuff in image compression right?

No I do computational linguistic stuff.  Right now I'm working on articulatory inversion, which is the task of predicting where parts of the mouth are given an audio signal (so are the lips open or mostly closed, is the tongue tip high or low etc.)

This really resonated with me as well; I just don’t get it when people are mean for no reason. They must feel powerless in something else in life which frustrates them, but against which they feel they cannot act. Probably parents?

I enjoy the old adage that you can tell a person’s true nature by observing how they treat people to whom they are under no obligation to be nice.

Your example is not only of someone being mean, but actually going out of their way to complain about someone else’s unrelated means of making their job a little less shitty. Fuck them.
Exactly. I mentioned a few months ago that one of my coworkers was a total dick to wait staff at a restaurant we had lunch at. I see that type of stuff a lot. Not necessarily from my coworkers (this particular guy is a grade A piece of shit), but just watching how some professional people interact with others.

Honestly it's not even just professionals. I was listening to sports radio yesterday and one of the hosts said his car broke down around midnight and he had to call a tow guy. The host tipped the tow guy $10 and was basically asking the radio audience if tipping a tow guy is required (he didn't know whether they were salaried workers or not). Then the conversation morphed to whether you should tip food delivery people, and the dominant argument was no because they make $8-9 an hour. Many people said delivery people should get another job if that's not enough.
:mindblown

No empathy for fellow workers simply because they work "shit" jobs. That just blows my mind. I don't give a shit what a delivery guy makes, I give a tip. If I eat at a restaurant I'll tip the waitress/waiter regardless. If it's bad service I'll still leave a small tip (unless the service is straight up disrespectful). That's a horrible job where a business gets the greenlight to treat and pay employees like shit. I'm not gonna shit on those people.

Being a good tipper also benefits you, so I don't even get the self-interest no tip angle. I never have to wait at the barber and get mistakes in my favor every time I hold court at the locally sourced watering hole. (e.g. I got a free kombucha last Sunday despite it being one of their pricier not that alcoholic beverages.)

Ha! I just had that happen with a dude that's more of a friend of a friend than an actual buddy.

Ran into him a few weeks ago and he was like "Hey what are you and your son doing next sunday now that there isn't football?"

Steering wheel tightened up significantly since Sunday. Not only is it tight, it has gotten inconsistently so. The wheel feels wonky when just edging it in either direction and it won't straighten by itself fully when turned - it gets stuck at the quarter turn mark.  :fbm

Backstory: First time it felt tight was this past Saturday right after I pumped gas leaving the engine on. It seemed to have recovered the following day with it being a roll of the dice whether or not it would feel tight. It wasn't that bad until tonight and I had to ask for a ride to work.

If pumping gas with the engine on did cause it, I really am trying to figure out how the hell it can happen. Hope it's just a fluid or alignment issue and not a buy a shitload of parts problem.

Time to rebuild the front end! Tie rods or joints are worn out. From the sound of it you'd be better off letting a mechanic handle it. Expect ~$300.

And for the record, the only problems that pumping gas with the engine on can cause are the fiery kind.

It shouldn't be too costly. But as far as filling up with the engine on - you should put the kibosh on that because while it's unlikely to lead to fires, it prevents the car's fuel system from pulling the proper vacuum in the tank and can trip your check engine light. In the case of getting your car smogged, the CE light stays in memory for around 30 days and can actually cause a smog check fail until it's cleared. Modern cars just aren't meant to run while filling.

Get some transmission/steering fluid, it sounds like you're low.

That was the first time I ever left the engine on while pumping.

Can't hurt to get the fluids checked. Got the car almost 2 years ago with approx 145k miles. It has almost 170k now. I replaced a whole bunch of parts after the initial purchase.

After rereading the post I think PD's right. I misread and thought it was going from normally tight to excessively loose.

It does sound like the power steering. Fluid/pump/belt/lines issue. Check the fluid. You'll probably have to take it to the mechanic anyway because it shouldn't be losing any fluid during normal operation. Probably leaky lines or a failing belt.

Edit: Google your car's model and year. A lot of cars nowadays just have electrically assisted steering as opposed to ye olde hydraulic system. That'll help give you an idea of the cost involved.

I had a friend-couple ask for help moving, which I gave, then asked for a day to help paint their new home interior, which I gave, only to have them be busy on the weekend I wanted (not needed) help moving, they were busy.

::)

My new, live-in girlfriend was my only help that day. Of course, if I’d had help moving, I may not have had the realization that I should marry that woman.

It's funny that this gets discussed.

This week is National Engineers Week.  Yesterday we held a lunch for engineers and engineering technicians for appreciation.  One of the new hire engineers was bitching about how technicians were allowed to participate and eat lunch with the engineers.  I had to gently remind her how many times the technicians had to save her ass on a number of things.  She didn't seem all that convinced.

I admit I was more than a little pissed about her shitty attitude towards others.

Most important thing to realize is that everyone around you sucks ass at writing. They just care less. In my experience, the people who don't hate writing are also the ones who are usually really bad at it and don't realize it. So you already have your doubt going for you.

I also suck at writing, and I try to counter that by taking my time. I usually write best late at night.

Writing gets much easier if you know what you (don't) wanna write about. Sounds obvious, but sometimes when you're stuck, it helps to read/talk/go for a walk and think about it without distractions. Clears things up for me very often.

And lastly (also obvious, I guess), doing it structured and somewhat iterative also helps. Make a bullet point outline, fill in the blanks.

But I assume you already know the above. You just need to realize that the fact that there's lots of good writing out there doesn't mean it's easy for everyone or even anyone.

I 'think on the page' and then edit obsessively. Just keep writing to get some building blocks to work with, then re-arrange and re-write as necessary. It's neither efficient nor pleasant, but you'll get it done.

pizza hut has a pan cookie that's basically the same thing as the papa john's one, so if I just alternate stores every day, it'll look like I eat a pan cookie only every other day.  I wouldn't want the employees to think I've hit rock bottom or anything.

people who try to cover their drinking habits are hilarious. Go to 3 different stores or bars....see them at the bar when you're having lunch and they say shit like "yeah figured I'd get a couple of beers today, totally cheating"...yeah sure man, I see you here every time I have lunch. Or my favorite.....be hammered and totally try to deny it even though you smell like a bud light can.....

that's the good thing about pan cookies-- no cookie breath.  although if someone looked in my window and saw me on the couch in my underwear with my mouth hanging open while playing Dead Or Alive, they'd probably deduce that I'm a pan cookie addict.

that's the good thing about pan cookies-- no cookie breath.  although if someone looked in my window and saw me on the couch in my underwear with my mouth hanging open while playing Dead Or Alive, they'd probably deduce that I'm a pan cookie addict.

Those pie cookies are my shit on cheat days. I can seriously eat the whole thing ha ha.
YMMV

I'm not a day drinker, not hating. I'm talking about the guy who's at the same bar every time you go to eat. Every time. And still plays it off like he normally doesn't go there.

That guy is usually in his 40's and thinks he actually has a chance with the 22 year old bartender which makes it all the more hilarious.

the agony comes from when my standards >> my ability.
I 'think on the page' and then edit obsessively. Just keep writing to get some building blocks to work with, then re-arrange and re-write as necessary. It's neither efficient nor pleasant, but you'll get it done.

yeah I do that too. still suxx!

Yeah it's not something I do every day, week or even month but sometimes work is shitty and I just need to get a pub burger and a caffeine booze injection

My alcoholic parent does that, but with 3 grocery stores.

I don't think it occurs to them that there's no forensic countermeasure for buying booze at 9 am.

OT: I heard someone say the word antipenultimate.

people who try to cover their drinking habits are hilarious. Go to 3 different stores or bars....see them at the bar when you're having lunch and they say shit like "yeah figured I'd get a couple of beers today, totally cheating"...yeah sure man, I see you here every time I have lunch. Or my favorite.....be hammered and totally try to deny it even though you smell like a bud light can.....

Me, I embrace that shit, I don't get to drink every day but if I do I'm getting that shit done.

Own it like you bought it. When I was a hard drinker I bought my six dollar hooch from the same store every day, the theatrics of deceit the ol' 'rent goes through is almost as embarrassing as the more embarrassing things they do.

Antipenultimate meant (in this context) 3 days left of an event, Rufus.
