Worst part is when it is long enough and manages somehow infiltrate your foreskin, like who designed pubic hair the hell is this.

It sucks when you have too much pubic hair and the hair "wrap' the penis while it is flaccid and then you get hard. All the hair gets pulled. Pain
I think that's the point where you should invest in a trimmer
Or hell, go find a pair of scissors :v:

Or just using an electric buzzer in the shower (A battery powered one). Easy to get rid of most of the hair w/o tugging/pain/bleeding.

When I do this I end up with a mass of hair about the size and shape of a small kitten trying to clog the drain.

That's why I have a mesh plug to catch most of it. Haven't had to break out Drain-O yet.
Started my school related internship at SAAB HQ today. Been there before, but never in such official manners. Clicked really well, and I will most guaranteed get a job there next year. Which will be well-paid and somewhat relaxing.
That, and everything is going super well overall in my life lately. The feeling of having that one great friend you can talk about anything with is really what makes life bearable sometimes.

Wait, SAAB still exist? I thought they went bust years ago!
I think they're still about in the defence sector.
[QUOTE=Bengley;52721829]Wait, SAAB still exist? I thought they went bust years ago![/QUOTE]
They dont make cars anymore, but bust? Far from it. They're one of thr biggest, if not THE biggest manefacturer and producer of planes in Sweden. They make overall military and civilian products too. Its on a global scale and they got facilities in tons of countries. The security here is nothing short of scary at times. You can get jailed for up to a year just by describing how an area looks to non-authorized personnel. Brazil is buying a bunch of our latest jet fighters, the Gripen E. They're paying to what roughly amounts to 4.5 billion USD for 36 of them.

SAAB AB and SAAB AUTOMOBILE AB was split in 2000 when GM bought 100% of the shares, SAAB started with airplanes. The remains of the carcompany is owned by NEVS AB
Just as my job search is coming to a close (I've already gotten a phone interview with my local utilities company and two foots in the door with Lockheed & AMRDEC MDA) my dad texts me saying he's been laid off...
And this is literally a day after I asked my parents for just $200 to help with bills until an offer comes along...
:disappoint:
Just when i say I don't want to get into a relationship till I know where I think me and the new classmate share some sort of affection for eachother
my life is now FORTRAN, nonspherical gravitational perturbation models (holy fuck this is actually a real phrase), and working on code that was mostly written before the 2000's

My life lately has been debugging a minimal, 1999 HTTP server meant for embedded systems written in C. That and fixing SSL vulnerabilities that cause random data to be sent to clients when they close a connection, making private information from other clients publicly available with no effort whatsoever.
I just loooooove it when other people's major fuckups from long ago become your responsibility

How well commented is it? Also, Fortran just feels so barbaric now compared to C/C++ & GSL.
I guess generational gap really does have an effect on language preference.

Its not that well commented, and the method names aren't [I]that[/I] clear either. The only slight saving grace is that it was written before real IDEs existed, so it is using hungarian notation. Which is gross, but has its uses w/ legacy codebases. honestly I'm moving pretty far away from commenting now, mostly because small, succinct, and well-named methods/functions are loads better (same with variables). I forget which book said it, but the gist was that when you need to comment something consider breaking it into a smaller method that's well-named.
soooo that's what I'm doing to this codebase, too :V
its neat stuff though, for totally insane space stuff that's only possible because of recently acquired gravimetric data from the Moon. and the code isn't bad: just ludicrously dated. it was written by a very smart dude who organized things well and had more than a little bit of craftmanship in his code

Unfortunately I'm getting more and more into stuff I can't share, and we're working on getting security clearances for a shot at those kinds of contracts
[editline]27th September 2017[/editline]
the idea of getting top-secret clearance terrifies me and I'm tempted to turn it down if it ever comes up tbh
i've got my eyes set on the DoD/defense contractor/IC career track so a top secret is a necessity for me. it actually seems pretty exciting
being a straight-edge is no fun tho

be prepared to watch all your favorite contracts wither and die and/or be welped during administration changes
otherwises its pretty neat, though most of my work is with DARPA+NASA
Y'all are grade A plus insane :tinfoil:

One of the security measures here is that when you travel out of country you NEED to travel as low-profile as you can. No one can know you work here due to a constant threat of spies and information leakers. :v:
If I remember right, there is also a special security group here designed to help out and potentially rescue people if they get in trouble out of country which is super cool
My loyalty to one Airline here in Aus has paid off, packing my bags today to find my single suitcase I thought I was entitled to was at the weight limit, went to look up excess baggage charges, only to find that my "level" of Virgin Australia's loyalty program entitles me to a second bag at no cost of 23KG, free wifi for the duration of the flights and access to the Etihad lounge at Abu Dhabi...what a fucking relief since I still have more shit to pack.

i vaguely remember being told that too during my security/opsec briefing. you also had to tell them if you're traveling out of the country and where iirc

I've got the Chinese Exclusion Policy of NASA to deal with lol, which is pretty much a republican-backed excuse to be vaguely racist. It doesn't even both to discriminate between the kind of research that's shareable, or the kind of work I could talk about

Yeah well I have to use MATLAB. So.
[QUOTE=AtomicSans;52726424]Yeah well I have to use MATLAB. So.[/QUOTE]
I'm also converting some other models from MATLAB, into C++. The worst part is the lack of strict typing in MATLAB, and how vaguely arrays/matrices are declared. Not knowing the types of return values and arguments is bad enough without throwing the dimensionality of said things into the bloody mix, too. I don't have MATLAB on my computer either, so I can't just open up the files and test them and a couple of these models are from someone who doesn't work here anymore. And doesn't comment. Or name things. Woo. Also, tbh, MATLAB is a lot easier to write and work with than it has any right to be (and newer FORTRAN isn't what it used to be, thank god). Its still a virtual-memory abusing fucking retarded indexed-from-1 shitpile of an application, though. If it wasn't for Simulink, there's very little reason Python+numpy couldn't replace it in academic, commercial, and research applications. Simulink is the only reason MATLAB is still alive at my work, it seems.
as much as I gripe, though, I quite enjoy my job and like that I'm challenged every day. returning home mentally exhausted is a satisfying feeling.
Hey you guys know computers, is there a free course somewhere where I can learn AutoCAD. I remember learning it like ten years ago in high school but it's been so long. A lot of jobs in the fields I wanna get into prefer experience with 3D mock up tech like that though.
I do all my calculus on a warehouse full of abacuses

lol i TA for a class that primarily uses matlab and i don't know shit about it
