Bought my house in the US in 2006 and decided not to get cable. I used to study a lot; so no time for that nonsense. Today, I do watch TV, but it's all through a HDMI cable from my laptop. I watch mostly YouTube, a little NFL Brady, and some of the NBA finals. I also download and watch movies from Putlocker. The problem of not watching network television is I no longer feel part of the American culture. I do not understand why people cry victim, equal pay, racism, equality, and just out right hate speech, because I see the exact opposite in society.

It's already happened to YouTuber Archie Luxury[^].

Is that you Suzie?

:laugh: The trolls are in the trough today. Maybe time for a vacation!

I pay for insurance because I hope/wish my house burns down. I'd get more that way than selling it.

Could be? It wouldn't be hard to do that. I'd think an ESPN would not do that stuff, but you never know.

Too often, I find myself in the evening with my laptop connected to my TV, watching a video and think, who's winning the game? I open a new tab and type ESPN and all of a sudden every thing stops. It doesn't matter which browser I use, it seems several times a week this happens and it always seems to happen on the same sites; CTRL + ALT + DEL + End Task. And Yahoo is the worst!

It's 100% at my company :suss:.

My initial thoughts of this article was the training costs and non-production costs associated with non-technical people learning software applications to perform their job. I think it's a good move by the German organization to move back to MSFT. We'll be moving to Windows 10 about the same time. Hopefully by then the problems will be resolved.

But Angular sounds so much better and cool!

The project sponsors don't realize that whenever they have big changes, that code smell enters the picture and when they say they need it NOW, it makes the code that much junkier.

I hope she's not going on there looking for a date. There are better options than Craigslist.

He was one of my favorites too. :rose:

Yes, Columbus is nice, clean, and the economy is strong, but there's little to do. The university area is cool, but it's not for older folks. I almost moved to Cincy in 2004, but Great American Insurance would only offer me a 3 month contract to hire; so I stayed in Columbus.

No, but I did have a girl friend a few years ago that was a nurse administrator during the week and head nurse on the weekends. She never talked about training, but she is smart. We have a nurse at work whose office is somewhat near mine. I would guess he doesn't go to medical training because he's either in the office or on vacation/sick leave.

From a financial and quality of life perspective, nursing is the better choice by far. In America, one can get an associates degree and pass a cert and they're making middle class money. In programming, Computer Science university is difficult, it is difficult to get in the door, and it's difficult to stay in IT throughout you career. Plus, in nursing, you don't have to study throughout your career to stay relevant.

Columbus, Ohio :(

I live in a very conservative 1 million persons metor area and besides having less options for employment, there are less options in just about everything, including: dining, entertainment, and even companionship.

I see what you're saying. I felt it was a mistake because I bought the house for a woman and she eventually went her own way. Also, it will cost me real estate fees to move and as I told my Dad, it makes no sense to sell a 200k house with a tiny mortgage to take out a loan on a 300k house. And lastly, if I wanted to work in another city or country, then getting that contract and quickly selling my house would not be so easy. I'd prefer to live in a luxury apartment, as long as I had a garage to leave the car, especially during the snowy winters.

Who says you have to be a programmer for the rest of your life? The biggest mistake I ever made was buying a house, because that meant I had to live there long-term. I've been in IT for nearly 20 years and only ended up in it because I had a B.S. degree and good math skills. Now after 20 years, I'm sick of it. I am sick of where I live and what I do. I want to do something else and live somewhere else. Since I now have 2 B.S. and an M.S. I have many other doors that I can enter and don't have to be coupled to IT. I am planning on leaving IT and teaching in the next 5 years. I don't want to do it quite yet as I'm making very good money and will probably never make that much again. As for you, go to school, even part-time until you know what you want in life. For some people, including me, I still don't know what I want. Do some freelance work and go to school. School sucks, but there are girls there and there is social life there. You will be giving those up without college and the opportunity to move into something you might love because you don't have a degree.
