I'd learned the theory behind it from some shady .txt files from the internet back in the day, but didn't actually practice it. I didn't think I'd actually ever attempt, let alone succeed. Fifteen years later, I move in with my wife, and we have (still ) this really crappy front door. The key would come out wrong sometimes, and you couldn't put it back in. One day, the lock got stuck... in the locked position, with the door wide open. So, there I am, screwdriver in left hand, bent hair clip on the right one... and it friggin' works, just like in the movies! Of course you have to know what you're doing, but I was amazed nonetheless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubinator Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 First day of school for me. Getting to know my calculus teacher, telling him about my speedcubing I told him "I average 16 seconds, 17 in this temperature" because the room was really cold. He said "I think we're going to have a good year." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chel Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 My 'A Song About The Old Forum' post got liked by a SQUAD staff member! I know it isn't massive, amazing news, but to me, it's very special. That and accidentally dropping the classes pizza last night (for a celebration of arts thing). Yay?

DarkOwl57 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 So JV scored 4 touchdowns today against Varsity. We got out of 120 up-downs (We left 6 pieces of clothing on the benches in the locker room) and conditioning! However.. It wasn't without sacrifice. I may have had a nosebleed. On my white Jersey. *le sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstah Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 (edited) I live in the capital, work near the congress, and tomorrow is independence day.

adsii1970 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Yesterday morning, I had an 18 year old university student come crying to me during my office hours. Her chief complaint is she didn't realize college was going to be so hard. As she went on to plead her case about my policy of no late assignments, she then told me she thought college would be easier, after all, everyone knows you go to college for the great parties and social life. No one really goes expecting to do a lot of hard stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the U.S. was an independent nation, no longer in a "colonial" status. "Why didn't they just go online and check the news?" CNN was too busy covering how General Andrew Jackson seized Pensacola, Florida and was routing English, Spanish, and American Indian militias. Oh, and they accused him of war crimes. *sigh big enough to knock the ISS out of orbit* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chel Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I was in my school's tuckshop (cafeteria) line, and it's Friday Garlic Bread. I had to be kept in for unfinished homework, but then did it and ran to the tuckshop. The garlic bread (six pieces for $1.50), sells out REALLY quickly, and I got the second last piece! How lucky is that! A few seconds later I saw so many kids leaving after hearing "Sorry we're out of garlic bread". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
