maqroll Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Mentioned a while back that my mom and dad's house got burgled on the night of her 60th birthday a couple of months ago. They caught the guy who did it and he was in court yesterday. Got 3 and a half years in prison. Hoorah. Nice one I was robbed several years ago and the police did funk all...I even told them the thieves were caught on videotape using my credit card...they didn't follow up on it, because it required them driving 20 minutes to another town to look at the video. I moved out of there a month later, not giving that city another dime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 8, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2013 I'm sure if the police hadn't have found prints at the house that they would never have caught him. Guess we just lucked out that he was too dumb to wear gloves and that he had priors so his prints were on file. They didn't even have to arrest him. They turned up at his house when he wasn't in and next thing they knew he was turning himself in. They'd have had to have been really REALLY shit not to catch him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted August 8, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2013 It's programmer-taking-mind-expanding-substance related. To study and understand the Y combinator is to understand infinity and the universe. As I said, it's pure enlightenment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted August 11, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2013 80 degF (27 degC, if my math is right) and dry, with enough puffy cumulus clouds in the sky to keep it from getting too oppressive. Listening to Lithium on Sirius XM. Day-old pizza (the best kind!), coffee ice cream (the milk for which was provided by cows about five miles down the road from me -- the slogan on the container: "If they say it's fresh and local, ask to see their cows!"), Sam Adams Double Agent India Pale Lager, and a book, out on the front porch.
