At first, I was like, "C'mon, Hobonochi is amazing, but isn't *yelling* a bit of an exaggeration?"

Friends, it was not: I, too, yelled.

I dunno, man. I thought the memo kinda sucked, and I think practitioners are reading all kinds of shit into it that isn't relevant to Overcoming Eligibility Rejections. It's unreal the authors seem to still be arguing Examples before their Examiners: I haven't done that for like, 10 years.

Lots of people in the comments missed the beginning of the video (including me, the first time I watched it: thanks, auto-play).

I topped out my math minor with a class entitled "Intro to Calc I."

I'll never forget proving the number line was infinite. The proof was like, "OK, take a step perpendicular to the number line. Now take the limit of cosines as you move along the number line to infinity."

lolwut

It took me less than a week back in the States to see my first """""""ceremonial""""" grade matcha.

Just a heads-up, but I was told today by customer support at the USPTO's Certified Copy Center that the service goals (e.g., process your request within a week) are "null and void" due to budget cuts.

Might want to order those certified provisional applications ASAP.

Wiki makes it sound really good!

BTW, let me know if you want me to mule you some books. I'm heading back over in a few weeks.

The one that gets me is remembering the timing of the jumps in Ninja Gaiden, a game I play even less frequently than SMB. Like, way to go, brain.

Happy memories of traversing it on my first trip to the first class (!) lounge.

(It was a fluke that I had access, and it probably won't happen again this lifetime.)

She has other complaints, but the names in Embassytown(?) drove her crazy. She felt they were a little too "into" it.

I haven't read Mieville, so I personally have no feelings. Seems like I'd like him, especially in view of your approval.

My mom had issues with that author, too. Like, she *liked* him, but I guess there are issues that prevented her from loving him.

To be fair, Claim 1 is far less ridiculous than these phrases.

I've definitely had a few academic options offered, but I prefer doing seminars for this reason.

I once told my father (who no longer lives locally) that I was having lunch around that area, and he thought I was insane. I think the idea that it's unsafe is just a racist holdover from 60 years ago.

To be fair, I am stunned at how much that area has changed since 2004.

They still run Patent Center on UNIVAC.

Through a twist of fate, my accompaniment for the movie was 10 years old. Yakusho was *so* fucking good that the kid misunderstood the movie: he thought it was a documentary and that Yakusho was actually a toilet cleaner, not a big name celebrity.

"Great conversation" in the "Why does this foreigner insist it's a Japanese movie, when Wenders gets primary billing? Oh, it's a shared credit? And it's Yakusho Koji? Sounds very Japanese!" way.

I still talk about this one all the time: great movie, *great* acting, great writing, great cinematography. Also, I'd guess maybe 10-20% of the Japanese people to whom I mention the movie have seen it, so it's a great conversation.

Lost a friend to this: her husband (also, someone I would have previously considered a friend) killed her, their kids, and himself (and their dogs). Absolutely wild shit.
