It's definitely something to think about.

For example the uncertainty principle pairs specific properties, such that if one is well defined then the other one becomes more fuzzy. This sounds similar to floating point numbers. Could be some deep property but could also be a memory-saving hack.

Entangled particles could be a shared pointer bug: two objects both referencing the same memory address :)

Jeez they called me in for an interview, tomorrow, like, 2 days after the closing date for the submissions.

Argh, today is going to be fun to say the least :V

It's a good joke regardless.

But also like, fireworks there?  A party, now?
Even ignoring the specific type of party it seems like a confluence of bad ideas.

Welp.

Got up nice and early, started getting ready when a message popped up on my phone. Interview postponed because some of the folks involved caught a fever yesterday.

Just my goddamned luck.

I had a Polish debit card that would bounce off Steam - I had to call my bank and reach English customer service to get the transaction through every time I bought a game.

Later, I was able to empty that bank account from an ATM in Thailand without issues. Modern banking is nonsense.

Well, maybe that Polish bank had more identity thieves spending money on Steam than they had ones withdrawing from ATMs in Thailand?

I really don't know if I'll ever be able to touch the highway without feeling bad about my performance afterward.

Considering you got off safely and presumably weren’t an idiot by talking on your phone, you did good.

You good a lot of the time.

Mixed happy//upset. I finally cleared up the issues about transportation (IE: I´m not going to buy a fucking car for a contract that  will end sometime in the first two months of 2020). BUt it became clear that it´s difficult that it will last any longer. And that the way things are looking Ireland´s job market will be a disaster zone in 2021. Odds are I´ll head over to either the UK or Spain in a few months. Both have their pros and cons.

My favorite baseball team sucks. They've sucked for a long, long time, and that's never stopped me from watching them, but still. Why can't you be good for a while, Mariners?

Look on the bright side -- all of baseball sucks.  :P
It's all the tedium of golf, but with more people so it takes longer.
