Somebody now told me...
Using an HTC M8 now. That Note 3 Battery didn't last long. Cool thing is I can buy a new one.
WTF have they done to you Thomas?
Natalie Green from "The Facts of Life" is a hottie now. Body-shaming sucks!
Shining Star by Earth, Wind & Fire would be a Christmas song...
If it had "More Sleighbell!"

Why is Thomas a tank engine? As far as I know, all steam engines have (usually) water tanks.
Even diesels have to store fuel somewhere. Trolleys and electric trains don't.

Because it's our job to provide just enough misinformation to children to develop a healthy sense of skepticism, and teach them logic and semantics for when they are old enough to post on Facebook.

Thomas the Transformer Engine?
Why is Thomas a tank engine? All steam engines had (usually) water tanks, and even diesels need places to put fuel. Electrics and trolleys don't have chambers for fuel.
Here;s a steam engine:

This bugger is HUGE.
I believe tank engines are named so because they carry their water in tanks carried on board the steam locomotive itself, rather than in a trailing tender, along with the coal. Tank engines were often used for shunting and relatively short distances, and may not require a separate tender, which the larger express mainline locomotives do.
Next will come the maths. Imma follow you out the door!!If you're going to start throwing facts and logic around the internet, I'm outta here.
I like Thomas the deformation engine. 
Here's an even better one.... THOMAS GOD OF WAR 
That would be Mobile Suit Thomas, the knock-off Gundam.
Nah, Gundam Style didn't come from China...
Nickolai Tesla invented/imagined everything we take for granted now.
And; Just to make it perfect he invented the way to power it all cheaply.

I liked matrices, mainly because I could understand what was going on. But I wonder what job requires them.
It's a bit like the 'Formal methods' module I studied on my CS degree - that's proving a 20 line piece of code works on paper, without testing it. Yeah right, like that approach really scales up to a 2,000,000 line behemoth system doesn't it?

My sweetie calls my Phone/Google Mini/Philips Hue lights setup "The Light Show" and I haven't even installed a Music app for it yet.

One of my former coworkers texted me yesterday... said the equivalent of "this place is swirling down the toilet hole fast" and noted that at least three of them (my former coworkers) are looking for employment elsewhere.
I was told that the person who was hired to replace me has already bolted (after something like three months).
I know a few of those people will stay put because they have serious roots down, but I feel sorry for them because their work is only going to get harder with a bunch of new people to train/carry. They certainly aren't going to get any pay raises...
