Looks like is was smoked in a Orgasmitron3000, whatever that is.

That was my nickname in high school.

What's high school? 

Ridgemont, probably.

Noticing that it’s going to be a bit windy on the North Carolina and Virginia East side to night and tomorrow.

Yea I struggled with high school, **** I struggled with school through my whole life, it wasn't until I got into the working world that I started to thrive. I taught myself to write basic unix scripts to automate my companies manufacturing process at a voicemail company that I worked at,, then I taught myself to write code that could automatically run tests overnight for functional, stress, and performance testing, then I automated the entire build process so if an engineer checked in a code change, a build would kick off, which would trigger automated tests, and within 30-40 minutes of a code change, you would know if anything major was broken by the checkin. At the time it was cutting edge, now It's just part of the normal software development process. Never a single day in college, almost flunked out of high school, yet in the real world I came alive. I was just not a student, and trying to learn that structured way really messed me up for a long, long time,, because it made me feel stupid and that I couldn't understand what the other kids did. Yet, when I got into the real world, I totally got into trying to understand how things worked and I thought of ways to make it easier and better. I thrived once I got into an environment like that but school really messed me up.

Why would I do that?

What would I filter it on, that's really the question, it's all about writing the software and figuring out the algorithms, which all start with the requirements, IE what should the code filter my egghead forum posts on?

“attempt at humor” perhaps?  You could also try a filter on “bum” or “Beulah”

Can you write some code to filter your egghead forum posts?

Hey!  Long posts is good posts.  
Just 'cause you love school so much that you're still there. As a grown up and all. 

FYI @Ybabpmuts my theory has always been that school is over-rated.  I failed to understand it from day #1.

Maybe it’s just some friendly teasing that you get — but worth saying:  Post as much or as little as you like.  If anyone is tired of it they are potentially complaining about their own inability to swipe a thumb or scroll a mouse wheel a very small amount due to FOMO or some other compulsive desire to read everything.

Well that seems rather personal.  You know it’s not my fault you spent all that time in school and never learned that you don’t buy a home without carefully checking out the roof!
