no worries. It is used for comrade as well, συντροφος would be how you would address your peers if you were a communist in greece, but it's more commonly used for a sexual partner. Which is kinda strange, because the literal meaning is "someone who eats with me".
 
user20683
@YannisRizos It's like the phrase "Knock Up" perfectly innocent in Britain meaning "to wake" and not so much in America
 
user20683
I had high school classmates who were horribly taken aback by their guide saying "she'd come knock them up in the morning."
 
user20683
@GlenH7 how did the test go?
 
user20683
I got a 25/30 (pretty good) on my latest Automata quiz :D
 
user41796
@YannisRizos - I see ABSOLUTELY NO DISCREPANCY there in those two usages
 
psr
psr
12:03 AM
@WorldEngineer Boy, were they, embarisada
 
user41796
@WorldEngineer - pretty good, I think
 
user41796
probably missed ~25%, but that's a passing grade
 
user20683
gotta love Zombie Apocalypse grading
 
user20683
I knew a guy Georgia Tech who took Systems and Control
 
user20683
got a 40
 
user41796
12:04 AM
only one or two WTFs through the test, so that was a good sign. There's one where I'll actually write NCEES and complain about the typography
 
user20683
made a C
 
user20683
Tech: D = done
 
user20683
State: D = do it again
 
user41796
I finished both sessions early, so that was nice. probably po'd quite a few folk by walking out early
 
user20683
I do that fairly regularly
 
user41796
12:05 AM
I'm really hoping I don't have to do it again... :-)
 
user20683
what class?
 
user41796
honestly, not as stressful as the FE though
 
user20683
ah PE?
 
user41796
@WorldEngineer - that's about all my mind can handle tonight
 
user41796
nowhere near as brain-dead after my FE, but still dang tired of sitting and staring at paper all day long
 
user20683
12:07 AM
being next to an Engineering school, my store sells loads of the books for that thing
 
user41796
hear the siren call....
 
user20683
unlikely
 
user20683
9 years is enough for now
 
user41796
you know you want that phd
 
user20683
actually no
 
user41796
12:08 AM
and / or 2nd masters
 
user20683
I don't want one
 
user20683
not anymore
 
user20683
I don't have the first
 
user41796
lol
 
user20683
two bachelors
 
user41796
12:08 AM
1st masters is good, IMO
 
user41796
phd for SW world is overrated
 
user20683
Humanities and CS
 
user20683
I'll get the masters when I figure out my best niche
 
user41796
I was on a phd track, bailing at MS was one of the smarter things I've done
 
user20683
probably data visualization
 
user20683
12:09 AM
my mom did that
 
user20683
got a masters with no thesis
 
user41796
at that point, you can get your employer to pay for your MS / MA
 
user20683
precisely
 
user20683
no more debt
 
user41796
no kidding
 
user20683
12:09 AM
this is my mantra
 
user41796
hate. debt. badly.
 
user20683
it's whatever
 
user20683
owing the feds money is much better than owing other people
 
user41796
I'm a bit chagrined I have to wait 2 months to find out the results of my test.
 
user20683
O_o
 
user20683
12:11 AM
I guess it does take a while
 
user41796
and I'll be squaring up with the feds this weekend; have been putting that off for now obvious reasons
 
user20683
yeah i need to do mine
 
user41796
the analytics they apply to the tests are mind-blowing
 
user20683
my mac's power adapter died
 
user20683
so I'm on my netbook till tomorrow
 
user20683
12:12 AM
currently upgrading it's widely out of date version of ubuntu
 
user20683
*wildly
 
user41796
I had read that earlier, that sucks. Lost the video card from my MBP last weekend. Fortunately, they turned it around quickly
 
user20683
Motherboard on my windows box died in February
 
user20683
desktop is still dead from 3 years ago
 
user20683
I need to fix all this junk
 
user41796
12:13 AM
3 years == permanent death. Nah, get a full-time gig and just replace. :-D
 
user20683
yeah
 
user20683
the case should still be fine
 
user41796
and it's time for me to cut out for the evening. Brain. hurt. Must rest. :-)
 
user20683
gut it and replace
 
user20683
ciao
