Elite private schools and college admissions
Daughter was a French literature major at William & Mary with minors in Political science, and had a sweet job lined up at Capital One before she graduated. A Liberal arts degree is a valuable one if you use it correctly. The movie Max Dugan Returns Jason Robards plays Max Dugan the Returning, wayward, father. He , and his grandson, played by Mathew Broderick are discussing college degrees. Max Dugan suggests philosophy Mathew Broderick: Can you make money with a degree in philosophy Mr. Dugan? Max Dugan: Oh yeah, if you have the right one .

Colonoscopy
Have a history of colon cancer in our family so I kind of demanded one earlier than they typically do the procedure. The found 3 polyps the first time, 6 the last time, so I'm betting there'll be more Tuesday, hopefully benign.

Have your seen what the average Russian male looks like ? They aren't gettin a lot of voluntary action. This was probably touted as a sex tour to some of those conscripts. Yes I'm burning in hell for making light of rape.

Woodworking, DIY, and home repair thread
And in CA. it's a fire rated material (allegedly) as it will only smolder and char, very tough to burn it. Marine grade plywood really only performs in the vertical I believe. Nice fucking trailer....

Panic as 300-metre-high skyscraper wobbles in China (SEG Weebles Plaza in Shenzhen)
Oh yeah, I remember seeing that one. The footprint, and prep was incredibly tedious because of the sliver of a building footprint. They had a blow out of a form or concrete feed tube. You gotta have your balls screwed on tight to run that job as a superintendent.

The mass dampening systems counteract lateral force, wind related, sway in a high rise. That whole equal and opposite reaction thingy I believe. It reduces the maximum amount of sway to keep it in the acceptable range for people. Women are more acutely aware of building sway for some reason.

I can understand (but don't agree with) Chamberlains attempt at mollification, and peace. (SEE: WWI).

Massive hydraulic, damping systems in the tower counteract sway. They probably have a few floors blocked off for several of them.

Yep all true., AH Robbins family. Robitussin is how they made their initial strike it rich dollars. Big frat school, good football program, spotty basketball thru the years, but definitely a typical private school student base: frats, daddies money, and BMW's. Have a very good friend who came out as gay to his parents right after HS. They're Jehovahs witnesses, and threw him out of their home. Richmond gave him a full 4 year ride with full time housing the entire time he was enrolled, so I've always given them high marks for that.
