Calling in sick is probably the worst thing you could do... I'm still at HOME with the snakes!! Heading to work now...

Ran across one of these[^] when I was in SE Asia, it wasn't hungry and I wasn't curious enough to stick around...he was huge.

Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

Oh, that's a beauty! I'd REALLY like to see one of those in the wild!
How lucky you are. Here in Sweden, we have nothing more interesting than this little thing[^] - it IS poisonous, but not very much, and it never attacks humans unless you actually step on it (who wouldn't?)

These[^] are the most dangerous snake we get to see in our area, unless we go to the zoo to look at the imported ones.

Are you sure these are carpet snakes? According to Wikipedia the largest ever recorder was 2.8 and most never grew over 2! You may have a world record there!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I know Wikipedia is not necessarily correct... there may be more than one type of snake in the world called a carpet snake... Here's a slightly more reputable source: clickety[^]
The photos I have are almost identical to the ones on the page (including two snakes in the rafters).

Sounds nasty!!
We have our fair share of venomous snakes... I wouldn't be so blasé about it all if these ones were... these ones are just big and impressive!!

Actually I am of the few that loves snakes and spiders. Wouldn't be so cruel as to keep them as a pet but in the wild they are gorgeous.

These ones aren't pets either... They have just taken up residence... we are fairly happy to share as long as they stay outside of the actual living areas of the house!!

Good point. I'd rather just go and safely get them out and take them somewhere they will not be a bother, because a snake in the roof can mean a snake on the floor with roof bits and pieces around it and a nice new hole to stare into

The one in the ceiling (that my wife calls Selia) is very, very, VERY big... 4m plus... I'm not going in there to get it out!!
|
|
|
|
|
4M?! Wow, yes you are right. first get one like this[š] and make it bigger, use on snake and then get her out. Do not want the poor thing to get cold out in the wild...

Spent this evening hanging out at a company I used to work for, talking them through some of the code I wrote about two years ago, man I was an idiot two years ago, but back then I thought it was all golden!

Sometimes I say the same thing about code I wrote yesterday.

You're pretty lucky... I can't even REMEMBER the code I wrote yesterday, let alone before that...

Everyone was an idiot two years ago!
If you can look at real-world code you wrote two years ago and still think it's great, then you're doing it wrong.

Looking on Engadget at the comparisons between the 6 and the 6+ versus the s5 and note 4 and it reads to me like i's have missed the mark in expectation.
Some of the key metrics look like a generation behind.
Just my personal opinion and just sayin'
