    I'm sure they're fine in principle but in my experience they are composed of equal parts wishful thinking and outright fabrication.

    my advisor was like "I want you to make me one for your thesis"

    and I was like "uh"

    You'll be fine right up until you hit the part where how long something is going to take is either completely unknown or heavily dependent on the result of an as yet uncompleted preceding task. At that point traditionally one starts making shit up.

    On July 25, 2010 SEPTA renamed the service from the R3 West Trenton to simply the West Trenton Line as part of system-wide service change that drops the R-number naming and makes the Center City stations the terminus for all lines. This also ended the combined R3 West Trenton/R3 Elwyn service.

    @SammyF

    Carytown is what I imagine Richmond's upper-middle class thinks Portland is like.

    It seems like a very ticky-tacky version of a bohemian boutique strip.

    Though, I've also been going to Carytown since high school, which is the mid-90s, and it's kind of always been like that.

    There are better restaurants now, though.

    Federal authorities said Monday they are confident that they foiled an attack on the Montevideo Police Department and possibly saved lives when they arrested a man with suspected white supremacist leanings.

    Buford “Bucky” Rogers, 24, of Montevideo, was arrested and charged Friday with being a felon in possession of a firearm after federal authorities found Molotov cocktails, suspected pipe bombs and guns during a search of his mobile home, according to a federal criminal complaint and affidavit.

    Federal authorities said Rogers was arrested after it was learned he allegedly talked about wanting to bomb the Montevideo Police Department.

    Local authorities would only say that the general public was not at risk and that no schools, churches or public areas such as parks were apparently targeted.

    After Rogers was arrested, authorities executed a search warrant at his father’s trailer home on the north edge of Montevideo and found more than a dozen bombs inside a shed. Some of the explosives were described by authorities as being sophisticated pipe-bombs and others that are normally packed with nails and other types of shrapnel.

    Several postings on Rogers’ Facebook page from June 15, 2011, suggest irritation with authorities.

    “The NWO [New World Order] has taken all your freedoms the right to bear arms freedom of speach freedom of the press ...” read one profanity-punctuated message.

    “ever one better get your guns ready cuz there comeing FEMA” and “The war is here tsa agents are doing random cheeks and shooting people for no reson,” read others.

    I know that they are probably gonna add more stuff or whatever, but it's funny to me that they went through his stuff, found guns, molotov cocktails, and possible pipe bombs, and then charged him for the guns.

    In general, chat makes me feel like a fool for not taking a computer science degree

    I didn't study CS and I think I've been working as a developer for as long as anyone who posts here. Maybe longer (first test job in 2001, first dev job in 2004).

    I took a total of 1 CS class in college and that was at a community college while I was still in Running Start. Actually never graduated from college at all. Ran out of money in my senior year.

    Though I did start learning programming in 3rd grade cause a friend's dad was a coder and taught us the basics.
    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson

    Usually, the most common tools people use for Gantt charts are MS Project, Basecamp, and DotProject

    The first two you have to pay for. The last one is open source, but it's not an app you install so much as a platform you configure on a server.

    like, you could probably install DotProject on a local Apache server on a virtual machine or something, but that seems like it might be a bear

    The service at Nacho Mama is indeed terrible, but the food is p decent.

    There's a new shawarma place near the top by Kroger that's pretty dope. Called Doner Kebab, I think.

    Can Can is good if you don't mind paying way to much for fancy food (it's good, but overpriced imo).

    Using Excel for a Gantt chart is kind of like using Powerpoint for an org chart.

    In other words, it makes me hate you just a little bit more.
