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
00:03
@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
00:04
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
00:05
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
00:07
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
00:08
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
00:08
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
00:09
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
00:09
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
00:11
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
00:12
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
00:13
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
