Caltrops - Biohazard: Code Veronica





	[quote name="Fussbett"][quote name="Senor Barborito Metafilter Post"]In our design for engineers class in college, the prof was an old test pilot who'd lost tons of friends due to bad design, bad user interfaces, bad engineering, etc. It wasn't terribly uncommon for him to get choked up and broken-voiced over a particularly nasty design flaw that we were discussing in class that day because he'd had someone close to him die of it. Horrible to see.[/quote] Sanitario666: His one year of technical college still reaping big anecdotal rewards. INC: "I remember lunch in the cafeteria once was filled with discussions of wormholes and anti-matter." INC: "The next day I ate alone." Sanitario666: It's weird that SB doesn't like people, since he's clearly so blown away by them and their stories. Sanitario666: Every fact is from a guy who works for Blizzard or a top level pirate or a professor who once rode in an airplane. INC: yeah, his entire life's experience is only slightly diminished by the fact it's all happened to other people who told him about it Sanitario666: But I mean also, when someone tells <i>me</i> a story about knowing airforce people who died while ejecting... I forget that shit tomorrow. Sanitario666: But for SB, that's important. It goes right against his anti-human stance. INC: yeah, he has an ever-growing list of people who are "okay" INC: to get on it, you have to tell him something, but then you're on for life Sanitario666: Really he likes anyone who gives him one minute of attention, and hates everyone who walks around ignoring him[/quote]
