I took 1000 consecutive cold showers after studying the Wim Hof technique. It was awesome, and I still sometimes take a cold shower instead of hot, just for fun.

Did I gain any super human abilities like Wim claims he can teach? Nah, I just enjoy the cold. I'm that weirdo that wears shorts all winter, shovels the snow barefooted and dresses inappropriately for the weather, according the the comments everyone seems to need to tell me.

Same here. I became licensed in the 1980's. And it allowed me to quit my job as a poor assed farming boy, and over the past 30+ years, I have built numerous cellular systems from the ground up and I have designed hundreds of cell phones.

This little nerdy hobby, turned into a fabulous career.

The whole breakfast being the most important meal of the day, was merely a marketing stunt by Grape Nuts.

Here is a slow scan TV signal I picked up from the ISS one day when I was farting around with nothing better else to do.

I used to do consulting for an international telecom....

One telco customer did not have tethering limitations in their customer contract agreements, so this one end users customer bought a number of devices, and then would resell internet service in local rural areas using his devices as backhaul. This one customer and his dozens of "ISP" devices were doing gigabytes and gigabytes of data per month, using approximately 80% of this whole carrier's data capacity.

Can confirm... grew up there. A drink 75% of the time meant sweet tea.

Also, we said "Coke" for any type of soda. For example, you would say, "Do you want a Coke?" and someone would say "What do you have?" and we would answer "Pepsi, RC Cola, Dr. Pepper..."

And every single application loaded and installed, software library, SDK and license has to be rolled up into the BOM for every headunit sold/installed.

Right... your temporary, disposable e-mail address. Like mailinator.com, 10minutemail.com, and thousands of others. Out of the many online accounts I have, I don't think I have one tied back to my personal e-mail.

You should try Egyptian cooking. I love me a good foot, eye, Iris, scarab, cat, snake and Ibis stew.

And the oldest in the US is growing on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Mother Nature is good at keeping her house clean. Especially if Bigfoot likes to live far away from people, as they are purported to do.
