Just think, if your kid is a retard and allergic, he'd be too stupid not to know he'd die from eating nuts. Chomp, chump, end of problem.
Admin
Well as for this one, I don't care which side we drive on, as long as I know which is which in the location I happen to be in. We in Britain could all be told to switch to the right tomorrow, for all I care (except negotiating on-ramps and off-ramps would be entertaining for a day or two till I learned which way to go). No big deal.
Admin
The real WTF here would be the fascistic teacher who makes a big deal out of it.

More importantly, how did you cure him?

Scream for me, Donny.
Grant me ecstasy.

But when it happens, it's really no big deal: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8243110.stm

Either way, have a nice weekend all...

Sympathy. Emigrate to the UK. Or, if you really enjoy your food, Italy (particularly the latter, somewhere rural, as their food tends to the natural and additive-free).
Admin
Yeah, (yawn) probably about time we went to bed. (strains ears for the gleeful galumphing of z ...)

Works fine in the US. It's available in my neighborhood actually.

I've been home helping take care of the newest addition to my family, BTW.
I'll be back at work next week so you guys can get your fix of feeling-superior-while-actually-being-clowned-on on ;).

(This may have been covered.....)
Peanuts are NOT nuts, they are Legumes. People can easily have fatal allergic reactions to Peanuts and other LEgumes, and still be able to eat "true" nuts.
One classic interaction for people with Peanut allergies is with green peas. My cousin has had to use his Epi pen after eating food that had green peas in it because of the severity of the reaction while waiting for an ambulance.
His alergy is severe. If you eat a handful of peanuts, an dthen shake hands with him, he will have a reacion ranging from severe rash on the hand and arm, to problems breathing.
He can not fly because when people open the little packets, enough dust ends up in the air, that if he is within a few rows, it can become a medical emergency.

About the plug: Many years ago, in the age of MiniComputers, I wrote the requirements for my computer room. After checking the height of the equipment I was getting, I specified that electrical sockets be four feet above the floor. In sight, in mind.
Were there a table there, that plug would be just about the right height above the table for table-top computer equipment. In sight, in mind.

Well yes, the Daily Telegraph is one minor reason why this nation isn't perfect but if you tell me where you live I'll probably be able to give you a couple of minor reasons why yours isn't 100% perfect either.

I agree. There's nothing more frustrating that hearing someone say "their" when they meant to say "there", or hearing someone say "there" when they meant to say "their". These people should be hunted down and locked up.
However, I don't mind too much when people accidentally write "their" when they meant to write "there", or "there" when they meant to write "their". Typos (especially typos that spell-checkers can't catch) are completely understandable; and it's not like they're making a fundamental errors in logic (like getting "say" and "write" mixed up, for example)...
Admin
Frist!
Fuck Askimet. Insulting it might be the only way to post here.
Admin
The first section, titled "Explain", might be a list of tasks, to explain each item.
Admin
The plugs are no WTF there. It's probably for projectors or televisions.
Admin
Unfortunately, their requirements didn't spec a mailout system able to handle files of the size of that report, apparently.
Admin
Had another thought: possibly the building was built (or at least specified) before it became mandatory that every student have a piece of electrical equipment on their desk.
Admin
Admin
I've been getting that right for roughly 35 years, but during the last year I've been getting things like that wrong a lot. I usually catch it (I think) but not all the time.
Kind of dismaying when your brain starts betraying you.
Admin
It does count in a school... you want all the classes starting and ending at the right time, so you're not late to the next one because the one before ended late. It's not a matter of safety or great financial sums but it does matter.
Admin
Ugh, didn't realize the "reply" button wasn't threaded. Was talking about their/there/they're.
Admin
Sounds like a case of premature optimization. I've got ABP, and I'm not missing anything in the article.

That outlet is for the clock that used to be there, you ditz! You can't use a clock outlet for your laptop!
Admin
Who needs radio and TV signal, when all you need is internet. shame for television channels. sometime things change, and the game changes.

Hmm ... are we talking Conservative Tories, Labour Tories or (now they've shown their true colours) Liberal Democrat Tories?

Further research suggests that the political map of the UK was originally drawn up in the 18th century between the Cowboys and the Thieves.
Admin
Obviously, if you push open both doors simultaneously you are in compliance with both instructions.
Basically, together they just mean you ought to swagger into the building like a cowboy from out-of-town entering the local saloon.
Admin
Serious though, congrats man!
