Hello from New Zealand. It's nice here, it's like being in the northeastern U.S. except there's sheep and the people arent dicks. I haven't found Scootah yet, but I'll keep looking. In the meantime, here's some videos until my triumphant return:
I forgot to read the part on the summons that mentioned not wearing shorts. So I wore shorts and a polo. They sent me home to change. Since home was an hour's drive away, I effectively skipped the entire waiting portion of jury duty. (When I got back, they called me and then announced to our pool that the case had been settled out of court so we were free to go.) So, I recommend shorts to jury duty.
I've reported to jury duty exactly once. It was in 2003, and I had just pulled a double shift at a convenience store. I was so sleepy that I was nodding off the whole time, and just when I had decided I was going to crawl off to a broom closet to get some sleep, a county employee came into the waiting room to tell all of us that we weren't needed, and we could go home! Wow, how lucky for us! And we all got $14 for missing whole day of work! The next time I got a jury duty notice in the mail, I sent it back, stating that I had a "medical problem" that kept me from serving. The county never asked about the "medical problem," nor did they ask me to serve again.
Google Science Fair! Taking home the $50,000 grand prize was Olivia Hallisey, 16, from Connecticut. Moved by the lives lost in Africa to the Ebola outbreak in 2014, she devised a rapid, portable and inexpensive diagnostic test for the detection of the virus. Also receiving awards were Girish Kumar, 17 of Singapore, who came up with a way to automatically generate review questions for students from online textbooks; Krtin Nithiyanandam, 14 of Surrey, England, who designed a diagnostic tool to detect Alzheimer's at earlier stages in the disease; Pranav Sivakumar, 15 of Aurora, Illinois who invented an automated method for finding and characterizing gravitationally lensed quasars; Anurudh Ganesan, 15 of Clarksburg, Md., who designed a more reliable way to transport vaccines to remote locations in developing countries; Deepika Kurup, 17 of Nashua, NH, devised a filtration system to remove toxins from drinking water; Lalita Prasida Sripada Srisai, 13 from India, came up with an inexpensive way to clean waste water by flowing it through corn cobs; and Eliott Sarrey,14 from Maron, France, who built a robot that when controlled by a smartphone can tend vegetable gardens. Here they shown honoring the brilliant Ahmed Mohamed, who took a clock out of a box and put it in another box. I'll bet every one of them is imagining their finger is a gun.
Is the girl on the far left giving him the finger? I can't even comprehend how to do any of that shit at 34, let alone 14. I was too busy trying to find a better way to jack off*. *More lube. The answer is extra lube. Where's my award?
I've seen in multiple articles that he has won awards for his robotics creations, but by all means let's judge his intelligence on something that he said he put together 20 minutes before bedtime. Yes, it is silly that he was there when he didn't submit anything to the competition, but so is your hyperbolic attempt to make it seem more ridiculous than it is.
Ahmed took away our rights as a society to listen to Alabama's greatest hits. If you are going to build a robot in Texas it better be able to play a fiddle. Anyway, if you are in to coffee I highly suggest you get to a Starbucks now and try one of their Reserve flavors. This shit is delicious. Expensive. But so delicious.
Mentioning the Dick Tra- Apple Watch, this story popped up how the watch caught this kid's irregular heartbeat, saved his life before he had total organ failure. You can't pay for that kind of marketing.
Sources? I've seen him called a robotics enthusiast and that according to himself he'd been on his middle school robotics team, but nothing about awards.

Please keep the serious headline stuff in the right thread. To clarify, this is not the right thread.

Okay people, I'm about to do something that I've been putting off for a long time: I'm going to install Top Down Solution's hinge-pin/bushing kit on my car's door hinges. No more creaking, groaning, worn out hinges when I open or close the doors. But to do this, I'm going to have to take the doors off of the car. I've got a bad history when it comes to removing car doors: See, they are really heavy and awkward to hold onto, and there are numerous adjustments to be made when getting them to fit back in their frames... And after awhile I get frustrated and end up taking it to a body shop to have them go through the headache of putting it back on. One time in high school I drove my truck with no drivers side door for almost a week. So anyway, here goes... Something.
