Damn, you grade harder than PDH.

See, guns do solve problems.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

QuoteMilitary Bikers Help Soldier Reclaim Old House
(Newser) – A soldier stationed in Hawaii got quite the surprise when told he could move back home to Florida with his wife: Squatters had moved into his house, and refused to leave. What's more, they were ex-convicts with 14 years of prison time between them. "They are criminals," says the soldier, Michael Sharkey, who was deployed to Afghanistan two years ago and then stationed in Hawaii. But a Florida real estate law prevented him from reclaiming his house because the squatters had established residency. "I am serving my country, and they have more rights to my home than I do," he says.

The squatters, Julio Ortiz and Fatima Cardosa, say they made a verbal agreement with a friend of Sharkey's who was taking care of the property, Opposing Views reports. But Sharkey and his friend deny any agreement took place. So a pair of veterans groups enlisted an attorney to process their eviction for free, WFLA reports, and a group of military veteran bikers said they would visit Sharkey's house to "peacefully make the squatters uncomfortable." Now under pressure, the squatters are packing and moving out. The Daily Mail lists their criminal convictions—including robbery, carjacking, and selling drugs on school property. (Another story that may infuriate you: A driver who struck and killed a teen boy is now suing him for emotional distress.)

A Rubik's cube ?

That depends on your definition of "solve".  ;)

Yeah you're probably right; a two pound lump hammer can solve, fix or modify most things.   :)



Goodnight.  :bowler:

:lol: When I was a kid, my father, probably wanting to get rid of me for a bit, handed me a rubik's cube and told me that I'd get $5 or something if I could solve it. I took the cube to my room, played around with it for a few minutes, thought, "this is bullshit", realized the colors were just stickers, so I just took all the stickers off and put them back in the solved position.

At a recent family gathering, my father was saying how smart I was as a kid, that one time when I was around 10 he gave me a rubik's cube and I solved it in 5 minutes. I busted out laughing, and told him what really happened.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

HOpefully his house hasn't been trashed.  Hopefully those two sacks of crap are dealt with. 


By the law or something.
PDH!

Working all the angles even then.    :P

Jake is a rubiks cube wizard. He can solve a traditional cube in something like 60 seconds. He really likes them, actualy studies different algorithms for faster solves, has a 4 and 5 sided cube as well (the 4 is actually harder than the 5 for some reason - I asked him why once and he started babbling about even number parity, and I was immediately lost).

He has a rubiks cube where all the pieces are different sizes when it isn't solved. It is bizarre.

:cool:

Just don't let him study to be an actuary.

Indeed.  Ukraine needs to hire a few.

Then the Ukrainians need to hire Jake!

Have them stake out the 5 Guys in Bealeton, Virginia.  Jake's been there about a third of the times I have gone there.
